Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 70

   Chapter 70 070: Badger

   "It's a badger," Wang Tianxiao smiled, "To be precise, it should be a badger."

   "Badger."

  Wang Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in disgust.

   You can't blame him either, it's true that something like a badger is not a valuable wild animal in this era.

   There are two kinds of badgers in Ziwuling.

   Badgers and hog badgers.

   Among them, the number of badgers is far more than that of pig badgers.

  This is because the badger likes to live in the cold places in the north, while the badger prefers forests, mountains, hills, etc. dominated by broad-leaved forests.

  There are many badgers in the north, but there are many badgers in the south of the Yangtze River.

   But this is not absolute.

  Our country has a vast territory, and many mountains and rivers run through the north and south of the river at the same time, so the animals are naturally not divided according to their absolute geographical location.

  Most of the badgers in Ziwuling came from the Qinling Mountains, so the number is quite small.

   After several decades, there is no sign of the badger in Ziwuling, only the badger is left.

  Why don't people near the mountains like badgers?

  Because there is basically nothing good about this guy.

  Whether it is a hog badger or a dog badger, they are omnivores and belong to the mustelidae family, that is, they belong to the same family as various minks.

  There are also quite a lot of minks in Ziwuling, such as yellow-throated mink, stone mink, aihu and so on.

  Weasels, squirrels, etc. are also popular in the weasel family.

  The names of these guys are actually the same family, but they belong to different genera.

  It is equivalent to being distant relatives.

  The largest badger in the world is the wolverine, which can be more than one meter long and looks like a little bear, so it is also called a wolverine or a wolverine.

   Wolverines are quite ferocious. They are similar in size to big dogs and can weigh dozens of kilograms. However, wolverines live in the coldest places. In our country, they are only found in the northeast and northern Xinjiang.

  All badgers mainly feed on small burrowing animals, frogs, rodents and birds, and also eat some crops and vegetables.

  So the mountain people hate this guy.

Especially during the harvest every autumn, the badgers will hibernate, and they will start hoarding food for the winter. They can only come to the villagers' fields to steal, such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, wheat, etc., as long as they can be eaten. steal.

   After stealing enough, they will drill into the crevices of the rocks or dig a deep hole to hibernate in it, and will not come out until February and March of the next spring.

  Of course, there is a special case where their food is stolen by some resident animals. They are so hungry that they wake up early to find food. This is the reason why they can see badgers tonight.

  Badger meat is unpalatable, and because badger's eating habits are very complicated, and a lot of viruses are enriched in the body, so under normal circumstances, people would not think about eating badger meat.

  The only place it is useful is the fur on the body. Basically, as long as the animals live in the cold places in the north, the fur is very warm.

   But the problem is, if people are only looking for fur, people can definitely look for bigger wild animals, such as wolves. Badgers are only a little bit bigger, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

  For example, a wolf hunter, the fur can at least be made into a coat, or even a mattress, but such a small thing can also be made into gloves. If you want to make a coat, you need many of them together.

  If this is the case, then it is completely possible to hunt and kill ferrets with better fur, and there is no need to waste time on badgers with less high-quality fur.

  In this day and age, what people pursue is still big and practical, and badgers are really not the first choice for hunting.

  Since seeing that it was a badger, Wang Tianxiao was not in a hurry.

   This kind of animal looks fierce, but it's just putting on a show. Maybe the dog can't do anything about it at first, but it won't hurt. As long as you grind slowly, you can always take them down.

   Not worth wasting bullets.

   Just to hone the temper of the dog.

  But badger teeth are also very sharp, and they bite people much more powerfully than dogs.

  When people catch badgers, they usually lay traps and nets. Few people can catch this guy one-on-one with bare hands.

   If you were really bitten, it would be much more troublesome than a dog bite. Who knows what kind of virus it has.

Badgers generally have two holes. As long as one is blocked with a net, and the other hole is lit with cow dung or other things that can generate smoke, they will soon be so smoked that they will plunge into the cloth. net.

  Wang Tianxiao has caught badgers countless times in his previous life, and it has long been commonplace.

  So he watched the badger and Gouzi fight calmly, but Wang Tiancheng had never seen it once, and he still watched the scene nervously, sweating for Gouzi from time to time.

  I saw that one of the smaller badgers had already been bitten by Dahei. It rolled its small body vigorously, trying to get out of Dahei's teeth, but Dahei was very experienced and adjusted his body accordingly, not giving it a chance.

   Slowly, I lost my strength.

  Dahei dragged Badger aside and watched the other two fights at the scene.

  Aying is in charge of the largest badger, which is relatively large among badgers, and it is about 60 centimeters long by visual inspection. It is also the most ferocious. It does not back down in the face of Ah Ying, and from time to time it takes the initiative to bite Ah Ying, forcing Ah Ying to move around and temporarily avoid frontal attacks.

   "Good guy, the one that bites with Ah Ying is very fierce."

  Wang Tiancheng also noticed it.

"That should be a female badger." Wang Tianxiao pointed to the cage next to him and said, "Look, the one in the cage should be a little badger, as well as the one bitten by Dahei. The one that Dafeng and Aying fought was a badger Parents. Normally, Badger's father doesn't care much about the child, but the mother loves the child very much."

  Wang Tiancheng found that it was true that Badger's father fought loosely and lacked fighting spirit, not as fierce and desperate as the female Badger.

  He thought of the previous leopard cat mother again, nodded and said: "Animals are the same as people, and motherhood is indeed one of the greatest emotions in the world."

   "Well," Wang Tianxiao smiled, "In fact, all sincere emotions are great. Friendship, love, and family affection are the same. It's just that many true feelings have been let down."

  Wang Tiancheng nodded.

   "Wow!"

  In the arena, Ah Ying finally got her **** badger and dragged it to the side of Dahei.

   Only Gale is still fighting.

  As the female badger was also defeated, the male badger now had a sense of crisis, and his biting movements were much more aggressive than before.

  Gale Feng's combat power is not very high. The biggest advantage of this guy is his speed, but the hard power is really stretched when he really fights together.

  Catching a badger will make it exhausted, jumping up and down, unable to speak for a while, as if it is not a badger, but a porcupine or a hedgehog.

   Come and go, not only did not suppress it, but the male badger became more and more aggressive, and actually stood up directly, constantly biting the wind.

   It seems that if there is no human intervention, there is a danger of being bitten by the strong wind at any time.

   Badgers are really smelly. If you mess with them, they can make you sick. Anyone who has been caught knows that.
