Chapter 493: Elephant courtship

Liu Wei followed the elephant to find the herd.
There are two elephants in the camera who are picking figs on the tree with their noses.
"Brothers, there are two more, there are..."
With the switching of the camera, seven or eight pygmy elephants appeared one after another. From the size and length of the ivory, they were all underage elephants. Liu Wei did not see the parents of the elephant group, which is the most Elder female elephant.
"Brothers, generally speaking, the number of members of the pygmy elephant is more than 20, composed of several generations of elephants. What we see now is less than one third of the whole elephant group. Follow along the way, from the discovery Judging from the traces, I think there will be more elephants in this herd." Liu Wei speculated from a distance.
For the time being, I was not in a hurry to get up and touch the few elephants that were foraging.
The male elephant who likes to lead his voice also mixed into the herd, and began to curl the roots of the fig tree with its long nose.
Its body is already able to digest high-fiber foods like tree roots.
"Let's go around quietly to see!"
Liu Wei took a live mobile phone to keep a distance from the elephant, and carefully walked around from the side. He desperately wanted to find the baby elephant in the herd.
Soon, Liu Wei heard the cry from the rain forest.
The sound is very long and loud, and the human ear can't hear the infrasound, but there is a hoarse feeling in the call.
Liu Wei frowned and became nervous. "Brothers, this is a warning from parents. Am I found?"
"how could I know?"
"We are not there!"
"I haven't seen the elephant leader!"
"..."
The audience is also in doubt.
Liu Wei looked around and found that in a place with dense foliage, two female elephants were staring at him.
But these two female elephants are about seven or eight years old, and they are still being cared for in the herd, and they did not make a sound to alert the entire herd.
Liu Wei guessed that there should be other threats approaching the elephant herd.
He didn't explore for a while, and focused his attention on the two females in front of him.
He walked up generously.
The two female elephants flicked their noses and rushed up.
Liu Wei stepped back two steps, reached out, and the female walked back, back to the position where the leaves were covering, and stood there staring at Liu Wei as before.
"Brothers, they seem to be afraid of me. I need to show a more friendly side to communicate with them!"
Say and lean forward.
The two female elephants leaned their heads together. When they saw Liu Wei getting closer and closer, they turned around and ran away.
Liu Wei smiled and said: "A little embarrassed, if they are afraid of me, they will definitely go back to the elephant group now, and I will follow to find the center of the elephant group!"
Liu Wei carefully followed behind the two female elephants.
Soon, several huge elephants appeared in the field of vision.
Liu Wei crouched down and hid in the grass to shoot.
"Lying trough, this one is big!"
"These are too big, it feels similar to Asian elephants!"
"It is estimated that it is more than two meters and five tall!"
"The biggest figure should be the elephant group parent!"
Liu Wei said softly: "Brothers, have you seen the thing on the neck of the female elephant? It is exactly the same as I guessed before. This huge elephant group has been researched and protected by humans. It is a GPS collar, which helps protect personnel to keep abreast of the dynamics of the elephant group.
Your feeling is correct, the female elephant is the parent of the whole elephant group!"
"吭~吭~hiss~"
After Liu Weigang finished speaking, the adult female raised her nose and mouth and made a cry.
The sound is the same as before.
It is warning the intruder of bad intentions.
Liu Wei can be sure that the warning sound is not reminding him, but another person or animal.
After a few long screams.
The members of the elephant group around the activity began to gather slowly.
The number of elephants the audience sees in the camera is also increasing.
Liu Wei leaned over and counted, "Brothers, I can see more than twenty-five elephants. There should be more. The elephant population is conservatively estimated to be more than thirty!"
The gathered elephants are scattered outwards in a circular activity route, and the parents of the elephant herd are in the middle.
wrong……
Liu Wei leaned his head and looked sideways. A baby elephant whose height was only the height of the female’s thigh was sucking milk from the female’s abdomen.
"I've been looking for you for a long time. It was hiding under the female elephant's body!" Liu Wei smiled excitedly.
From the far and near, the camera walked through the thick legs of several elephants and captured the baby elephants that were feeding.
Its nose curled into an s-shape, its hind legs were bent and squatted on the ground, its head was raised, and Nana was tightly held, trying to suck!
"Wow, so bearable!"
"I also want to eat Nana!"
"Eat your paralysis, go and make milk powder yourself!"
"I wonder if the breast milk of an elephant is the same as that of our humans?"
"This problem can only be confirmed by Awei!"
"Awei, you can try it up too!"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "I am over the age of breastfeeding. This baby elephant may be less than one year old. The female elephant will use breast milk to feed the child to two years old. The original Bornean pygmy elephant food is scarce. You Let me grab a baby's milk to eat. Is this a human thing?"
"A serious nonsense!"
"You are counseling, afraid of being trampled to death!"
"Hahaha, don't expose him, you know everything!"
Liu Wei: "Brothers, play to play, play to play, don't make fun of your life.
The topic goes back to the baby elephant. You can see that in the family of the Bornean pygmy elephant, the baby elephant is the center of the universe. In addition to its mother, its sister, cousin, and seven aunts stand around the baby elephant. All eight aunts will keep a distance around it. When the danger is approaching, keep alert and protect the baby elephants from the outside.
Although it is unclear what intrusively broke into the entire herd, but they have already put out the best defensive position ready to meet!"
"Yan~hiss~Yan~"
Parents of elephant herds who are feeding their children have issued a warning sound again.
The sound is louder.
It means that the threat is gradually getting closer and getting closer.
Suddenly, all the elephants' heads were biased in one direction-Liu Wei's right hand side.
"Are you here?" Liu Wei was very curious and drilled through the grass and got up and looked out.
A male elephant larger than the adult female appeared in the field of vision. Two strong long tusks appeared in the mouth. It walked slowly towards the elephant group.
After hearing the warning sound of the female elephant, it stopped and looked around.
But it didn't take long for it to walk directly into the elephant herd. The adult female elephants of the elephant herd did not drive it away, and the young male elephants could not take it.
It walked behind a female elephant's buttocks, raised her nose and touched the female's buttocks.
The rest of the elephants walked a few steps.
"What is it doing?"
"It doesn't seem to be a member of the elephant group?"
"This elephant is as long as its tusks. It is already an adult. A Wei said that an adult male elephant likes to live alone!"
"Then why does it come back? Grab food?"
Liu Wei looked at the barrage and smiled in the corner of his eyes, "Brothers, it is courtship!"
