Chapter 178

While studying science, Jiangnan did not forget to look for bilbies.

The further he went down, the steeper the terrain and the more complex the environment.

Every time he passed a bush or a hidden corner, he would pay special attention to it and try to find the burrows dug by bilbies.

However, every time he returned in vain.

Just when Jiangnan was about to give up, he suddenly heard a few noises.

It sounded like the sound of wiping a blackboard, but more like the sound of an animal's little feet running on gravel.

It seemed to be not far away!

"Finally I found it!"

Jiangnan rubbed his hands excitedly, but did not run away. Instead, he was more cautious and said:

"You must be careful when approaching bilbies, because they are very timid, very alert, and very sensitive."

"Bilbies have poor eyesight and mainly rely on hearing and smell to perceive the environment."

"As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you."

"With their keen sense of smell, bilbies can sniff out food buried several meters deep in the ground, and can also sense the scent marks of other individuals, so they will not easily intrude into other people's territory."

" Their huge ears can hear the sounds of insects and predators. "

"Just like the Marvel superhero Daredevil, he has poor eyesight but extremely developed hearing and perception."

"At the slightest sign of trouble, they will immediately scurry back to their burrows."

"And they are very fast, even if beasts such as lynx sneak up on them, it is difficult to catch up with them."

"If you can take a picture of a bilby today, you are very lucky."

"Finally, I will share with you a little-known fact: the ears of bilbys are also used to help regulate body temperature."

As soon as Jiangnan finished speaking, he stopped right where he was.

The audience looked puzzled when they saw this scene.

"The island owner was acupunctured?"

"The island owner must be a robot. He ran out of power while walking, so he stopped."

"That makes sense! I have long suspected that the island owner is a robot. Otherwise, how could he be so omnipotent!"

"I read a news report that people suspected that Zuckerberg, a wealthy American, is a robot because his facial expression is very unnatural and his eyes are dull, but he is extremely smart!"

Just as the audience was talking about it, the drone had already aimed the camera at the scene that Jiangnan saw.

When they saw it clearly, the audience was stunned.

There was a big tree not far away that just blocked the way. Looking up, you can see a dark tree hole on the trunk.

The hole is the size of two adult palms.

"Quack, quack!"

From time to time, there were bird calls coming from the tree hole, but it didn't sound like a bird call.

Not long after, a furry little bird appeared at the hole.

It is about ten centimeters long, with dark reddish-brown feathers on its head, chest and neck, blue-black back and tail, and gray wings.

The combination of several colors does not look abrupt, but rather makes it more adorable.

Puff!

Under the gaze of Jiangnan and all the audience, the bird spread its wings, which were not yet fully grown, and jumped down from the ten-meter-high tree hole.

That's not all, the second, third, fourth...

There were actually more than a dozen birds one after another.

Fortunately, the grass on the ground was lush enough, and they were too small, so they did not cause any casualties after landing.

During this period, some birds did not dare to jump down at all, but something in the tree hole kept urging them, and the cry was very loud and urgent.

Under the circumstances of having no choice, they could only jump down in a hurry.

After landing, they did not leave in a hurry, but gathered under the tree, looking up at the hole in unison.

Finally, a 50-centimeter bird flapped its wings and flew down from the tree.

It should be the mother of this group of birds.

It already knows how to fly, while the other birds all land vertically. Some of them landed on their faces without control.

"What kind of bird is this? It looks so cute!"

"They are so chubby and look so cute!"

"Wait! Are these birds?"

"Why do they have pointed beaks, like birds, but their feet are like ducks, and they even have webbed feet?"

"Is the bird cheating, or is the duck cheating?"

The audience in the live broadcast finally found something strange about these birds.

Jiangnan looked at them carefully, his brows never relaxed, and said: "These are indeed not birds, but ducks. Their name is merganser!"

"Although mergansers are ducks, their beaks are indeed different from other ducks!"

"Mergansers are very different from other ducks. Although they can fly and swim for a short time and eat small fish, shrimps and various aquatic animals, they make their homes in tree holes."

"In order to protect their cubs, the mother duck will try to find some old and thick trees, and the tree holes must be very high from the opposite side, at least ten meters, and some are even as high as twenty meters."

"Two days after the ducklings are born, they will be driven by the mother duck to jump out of the tree hole and go to the beach to learn to swim."

As soon as Jiangnan finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room were already dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Jumping down from a tree as high as twenty meters two days after birth?

This must be a 3D fall to a flat surface!

"Island owner, please stop making trouble. We don't read much, please don't lie to us!"

"I live in a building 20 meters high now. I feel uncomfortable standing by the window and taking a look below."

"Many little birds are just two days old, and they are still crying and opening their mouths, waiting for their parents to feed them food. These little ducks have already started to fall from mid-air. Birds are also so curry!"

"Why do I feel so strange when I hear the island owner say the three words "mother duck"!"

"That's right! Aren't all ducks male? How can they have mothers?"

"Chickens are more suitable for mothers!"

"If you don't understand, ask. Are you sure you are talking about chickens and ducks?"

The audience in the live broadcast room raced again.

But this can't be blamed on them for being dishonest. I don't know since when, picking up soap is just picking up soap, and the sister is just the sister, and don't interrupt is just don't interrupt. Chrysanthemums are flowers, fungus is a vegetable, cucumbers are only for eating, and chickens and ducks are no longer animals.

Jiangnan explained: "As you have just seen, the ducklings did not die after jumping down from the tree."

"They can't fly, but they are chubby and light when they are born. They can withstand the force of falling with their small wings."

"Animals in nature are so amazing. If they don't commit suicide when they are young, they will die when they grow up."

"The barnacle goose was only two days old and had to jump down from a 100-meter cliff. It either fell to death or learned to fly during the landing. It's so cruel!"
