Chapter 1800 White-Headed Langur
Chapter 1800 White-headed Langur
Feifei didn't think that this aye-aye would attack him. For a moment, he felt very scared.
'Dad, what can I do, it jumped on me. ’ When Feifei saw that aye-yeam suddenly jumped on him, he was a little worried.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said, "Don't worry, our spacesuits are very strong, and this aye-yeah can't do anything against you." '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei smiled and said, "What my father said is that this aye-yemur can't do anything to me. We are wearing spacesuits, and they can bite through the spacesuits." '
Just as Feifei said this, the aye-yemur stretched out its long finger and tapped on Feifei's spacesuit helmet. Obviously, he saw something moving inside the visor of this helmet.
The main food of the aye-aye lemur is the worms in the tree trunk. They usually rely on tapping tree poles to find bugs inside the tree poles. Now this aye-aye must feel that Feifei is inside the spacesuit, like a big bug, and it wants to pull Feifei out of the spacesuit!
'Bang bang! bang bang! bang bang! ---' The aye-lemur started tapping on the visor on the helmet of Feifei's spacesuit.
This time, Feifei was terrified. He quickly looked at his father and said, 'What can I do, he's going to knock my goggles out, and I'll be in trouble. '
After Zhao Zhongyao heard his son's words, he also felt a little dangerous. After all, the force of this aye-aye hitting the tree pole is still great.
'It doesn't matter! I just drive him away. As Zhao Zhongyao said, he walked over and drove the aye-aye away with a wave.
After Zhao Zhongyao slapped this aye lemur, he immediately jumped onto the big tree next to him and disappeared.
So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei continued to walk deep into the woods. They feel that the area of this large forest is also very large. At least several hundred square kilometers.
It's just that after the two of them walked a certain distance, they encountered another small animal. The appearance of this small animal is also very peculiar. It looks like a monkey. But the hair on its head is very long, and it is still white, squatting on the tree, it looks like a little old man.
Feifei looked at this strange animal and asked Zhao Zhongyao, 'Dad, what kind of animal is this animal? I don't think I've seen it before! '
Zhao Zhongyao looked at this little animal, thought for a while and said,'This should be a white-headed langur. '
‘What, white-headed langur. In this way, there are many monkeys in this big forest. We saw a monkey just now, and now another monkey appears. Are there all kinds of monkeys in front of us? ’ Feifei looked at the strange monkey in front of him and said.
'It's possible! We may now be in a monkey forest. There may be many monkeys in it. Zhao Zhongyao also said casually.
'Dad, tell me first what kind of animal this white-headed langur is. ’ Feifei also wanted to learn more about this white-headed langur.
'Okay, let me tell you something! After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and then told Feifei some knowledge about white-headed langurs.
The white-headed langur gets its name from the fact that it eats leaves. Long tail, suitable for arboreal; slender body, no cheek pouch. This species has a body length of 50-70 cm, a tail length of 60-80 cm, and a weight of 8-10 kg. It is similar to the francois langur in shape and size, with a small head, thin body, slender limbs, and a long tail. Exceeds body length. Its body hair is also mainly black. The difference from the Francois langur is that there is a bunch of upright white hairs on its head, which is shaped like a pointed white cap with melon skin.
Group activities, usually 5-9 members, with an adult male as the leader. Diurnal animals start to forage in the morning, the main food is leaves, fresh shoots, flowers, bark and some fruits. White-headed langurs live an average of 25 years. The distribution is narrow and the number is rare. There are only hundreds of them left. It is one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world and is recognized as the rarest monkey in the world.
The white-headed langur has an alert temperament, is very lively and active, and is very good at jumping. The slender body, slender limbs, and well-developed buttocks are just suitable for life in trees and rocks. It can jump freely in the woods or on steep cliffs, and walk like flying. The long tail plays an excellent role. of balance. It likes to live in groups, and the group is not big. If it is a group, it is a small group, there are five or six, if there are more, there are more than a dozen, and rarely more than twenty. The size of the group is related to the leadership ability of the Monkey King. If a monkey king's leadership ability is weak, then after the group grows, some monkeys will run away and form a new group, so the monkey group will be relatively small. Therefore, some newly formed monkey groups are similar to families, and the number of newly formed families is small. And some that have not been grouped for a long time will be bigger, and there may be as many as a dozen or even twenty.
In this group society, there is only one adult male monkey, the monkey king, and the others are some adult female monkeys. This is a polygamous society. Then there are some juvenile monkeys in this monkey group, and these juvenile monkeys are male and female. And when these baby monkeys grow up to be sexually mature at the age of three or four, the female monkeys still stay in the monkey group and reproduce with their mothers and other aunts. When the young male monkeys are close to sexual maturity, they leave their birth group and become kings in other monkey groups. This process requires fighting. If the new little male monkey wins, he can become the monkey king in another group of monkeys. If it cannot win, it will continue to form a temporary group with several male monkeys. After the new monkey king takes office
, a very cruel situation appeared, that is, infanticide. This makes the female monkey with the baby monkey mated and reproduced with it as soon as possible, and breeds her own offspring.
Leaving early and returning late, life is very regular. After dawn, they climb out of the caves on the cliffs where they live at night. Shuttle, jump, and play, like an acrobat artist performing high in the air. After that, they jumped to the crown of the tree or the bushes to eat delicious leaves, buds, wild flowers, wild fruits, etc., while eating and playing, their hands kept busy, and sometimes they kissed each other for a while, helping to catch and eat. Parasites on the body. Around noon, some go back to the cave to rest, and some sit on trees or rocks in the back of the sun and close their eyes to rest without interfering with each other. After the lunch break, they play and eat again, and gradually move towards the cave where they live as the sun slant to the west. Back near the cave at dusk, after confirming that there was nothing unusual, they climbed into the cave one by one to sleep.
As the name suggests, the white-headed langur is called a langur, because it eats leaves and feeds on young leaves and branches of plants. 80% to 90% of its food is leaves. In its environment, in its living environment, there are various All kinds of leaves. According to each season, what leaves it likes to eat, and what kind of leaves it picks, and its feed intake is not high. Because there is a chamber in its stomach that can decompose cellulose, the leaves it eats can be decomposed quickly when it goes down. White-headed langurs usually live in caves at night. It lives in this cave for a long time, and excretes at the entrance of the cave at night. So after a long time, there will be some dark brown excrement just below the hole.
After Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some knowledge about white-headed langurs. Feifei now has some understanding of this kind of monkey.
Think of this monkey as a vegetarian. Feifei felt relieved. After all, this kind of monkey does not like to eat 'meat' like the lemur. Although it eats worms. But insects can also be regarded as 'meat'!
'Dad, from this point of view, this white-headed langur is no danger to us, and it will not attack us. ’ Said Feifei.
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao nodded and said,'Yes, this kind of monkey is not very fierce. It will not actively attack humans. However, if you provoke it, it will be rude. '
'Dad, let's not provoke it, let's keep going forward! ’ After hearing what Dad said, Feifei and Dad continued to walk inside.
Just as they were walking, Feifei saw a very beautiful little monkey. This little monkey has golden hair all over its body and looks very beautiful.
And this little monkey was sitting on the branch of a small tree not far away. It was looking at the humanoid animals Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei in surprise.
And Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei are going to walk past this small tree. When Feifei came to the side of this small tree, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to tease the little monkey.
But just when Feifei stretched out his hand to play with this little monkey. Suddenly, a taller white-headed langur popped out from a nearby branch. It immediately stood between Feifei and this little monkey. And, began to grin at Feifei. Obviously, it is very angry with Feifei's behavior.
Feifei didn't expect another white-headed langur to appear suddenly. He was also taken aback at the time, and immediately hid beside Zhao Zhongyao.
At this moment, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said, "This little monkey is the child of this white-headed langur." This white-headed langur must be the mother of this baby monkey. It must feel like you're going to bully someone's kid. That's why people grin at you and scare you. '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei said again, "Dad, didn't you say that this kind of monkey has a milder temperament, and they are just vegetarians!" Now this white-headed langur looks very ferocious. '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again, "No matter what animal it is, as long as it becomes a mother, it will be very cruel sometimes." Because it wants to protect its own children, this is the instinct of animals. Even human beings are like this. A mother will become very strong for her children. '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei knew what was going on. He said, 'Well, let's get out of here quickly! Stop messing with these little monkeys. '
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei and walked forward together.
Just after walking a certain distance, Feifei suddenly saw an old man sitting on a huge rock in front of him.
At first, Feifei thought that he was delusional. But when he looked carefully, he felt that there was an old man with a white beard sitting on a huge rock in front of him.
Seeing this, Feifei was startled. He quickly pointed to the rock in front and said to Zhao Zhongyao beside him, Dad, look, there is an old man in front. '
Zhao Zhongyao just walked forward, and hadn't noticed any old man with white beard on the huge rock in front of him.
It was only when Feifei said this that Zhao Zhongyao glanced in the direction Feifei pointed. When he saw this, he also felt amazing. After all, there seemed to be an old man with a white beard sitting on a rock not far in front of them.
This is an old man with a white beard, wearing a black suit. He sat there quietly, as if basking in the sun.
'Huh! This is really strange. Are there still humans living in the underground forest on Mars? 'Zhao Zhongyao himself felt very strange.
'Dad, what should we do, are we going to walk over where this old man is staying? 'fly
Fei felt that the way they wanted to go was to go around that rock.
'Yes, we must go around that rock. Zhao Zhongyao said the same.
'Then what should we do, let's go say hello to this old man with white beard. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.
'Okay, let's go say hello to people. Zhao Zhongyao looked at his son and said with a smile.
In fact, Zhao Zhongyao already knew what kind of animal that white bearded old man was. He was just joking with his son following his son's words.
And Feifei also feels that it is impossible for humans to live in this underground forest of Mars. After all, in the entire solar system, there is no extraterrestrial civilization at all. Even extraterrestrial life has not been discovered yet, let alone extraterrestrial civilizations in the solar system.
The reason why Feifei said that was of course his own feeling, that old man with white beard. As for what kind of animal this white-bearded old man is. Feifei himself doesn't know, but his well-informed father must know.
So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked towards the huge rock together. When the two of them were about to reach a huge rock. The old man with the white beard who was squatting on the rock just now suddenly looked up at Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
It didn't run away right away, but just stared at Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, two strange humanoid animals. It just felt so weird to have these two humanoids.
