Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 822 ostrich

In the desert, the huge ostrich wings with black and white feathers were cut off by Bi Fang with a dagger.

A great meal.

This ostrich is already an adult and is still a male. At least it weighs more than 200 kilograms. The severely injured cobra cannot be eaten.

The reason why Bi Fang deliberately watched this bird-snake battle was that Bi Fang had no intention of picking it up.

"The snake's jaw is only loosely attached to the skull by ligaments. It has a pair of bones at the jaw joint that allows the jaw to articulate at two points in the skull. The ligaments are strong and flexible so that when it swallows, this structure can dislocate and Expanded so much that they can open their jaws up to 150 degrees."

"Secondly, the bones between the left and right jaws of the snake are connected into a movable tenon, and the left and right are connected by ligaments, which can be opened to both sides. Therefore, the snake's mouth can not only open up and down, but also is not restricted from left to right, and can be opened to a certain extent. They open wide so that they can swallow things much bigger than their mouths."

"The reason why they evolved this ability is because they can't chew and can only meet their needs by swallowing prey large enough at one time."

Snake teeth are thin and sharp, which are not suitable for chewing at all. Animal teeth suitable for chewing have blunt teeth. The sharp teeth cannot grind the food and then digest it. Snake teeth can only play a fixed role when catching animals.

"But for a cobra, an ostrich that weighs more than 200 kilograms can't swallow it even if it dies. Some juvenile pythons are too choking, so it's all cheaper for us."

Before the snake hunts, it will evaluate whether it can eat it, and if it can't eat it, it will not shoot. If it can't eat it, the snake will first open its mouth to the limit. If it still can't, the snake will give up the prey.

This time it is obviously not a cobra hunting an ostrich, but a defensive battle in reverse.

Venom has always been a weapon for the weak to kill the strong. Although the probability is small, it is not impossible.

"But I really didn't expect the cobra to kill the ostrich at first. My original idea was to pick up the cobra, but I didn't expect to pick up a big one!"

Although ostriches can eat snakes, it may be very small that they will eat them all.

This is a half-desert and half-prairie area. For players at the top of the food chain such as ostriches, they often have the qualifications of "picky eaters", and they will basically not eat cleanly.

A cobra is also big enough that there are usually quite a few left.

But there are not so many ostriches left. It is a good luck. With these more than 200 catties, there is almost no need to worry about food in the future.

The only thing to worry about is storage.

【The king of picking up leaks! 】

[Despicable, too despicable! 】

[I thought that there would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but this bunch of birds could not stop so fast. 】

Due to its inability to fly, the ostrich's feathers are extremely soft and feel very good. Bi Fang also took great care not to stain its feathers with blood. He first dug a hole around the neck, and then drained the blood while it was still hot.

There is no good storage method, the containers are used for regular fresh water, and these blood water can only be wasted.

The blood pooled in the sand pit, giving off a strong fishy smell, and it continued to smoke under the scorching sun.

After the blood was drained, Bi Fang began to dismember, and used a sharp obsidian dagger to swim on the ostrich's body, cut through the thick cortex, and then pushed it away, revealing the blood-red muscle tissue layer.

"In the wilderness, no part of the animal you kill should be discarded. In addition to providing fresh meat, the remaining meat of large animals can be preserved, and other inedible parts can also be used for Make clothes or tools."

"And, we want to remove the guts as soon as possible."

Bi Fang squatted on the ground, tore open the belly of the ostrich, and a large amount of internal organs poured out.

I took out all of them and put them away in different categories. The stomach bags were heavy and extremely thick.

Bi Fang cut both ends open, and immediately, a large amount of sand and gravel mixed with stomach acid poured out.

"Ostriches don't have teeth, so they can't chew. They have a big stomach, which is usually sand and gravel that they usually eat. This is crushed stone to help them grind their food."

"So the ostrich's stomach is called the gizzard, which is very thick. After the food enters the gizzard, it will be ground into small pieces to facilitate intestinal absorption. It can be said that they have never been full."

Along the back of the stomach bag is a long intestine, which is very long.

"The ostrich's intestines are 14 meters long, twice that of a human."

[Say, this bird is so big]

【What a big bird】

[No wonder there are more than 200 kilograms, too much]

Bi Fang squatted on the ground. With the reference, the audience could see how big the ostrich was.

From the front, the body of the ostrich is almost as tall as Bi Fang who is squatting down!

"Normal, in fact, the height of an ostrich is calculated from the body height, just like the shoulder height of a horse. If you include the head, most male ostriches are taller than humans, which is still very oppressive and has great strength. , can walk with adult males on the back."

"Speaking of which, I still got the light of the Egyptian cobra, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to eat this ostrich."

"In the wild state, it is generally believed that there are four subspecies: North African subspecies, Somali species, Masai subspecies and South African subspecies. This is the North African subspecies in front of me."

"The number of North African subspecies is not large, unlike South African subspecies, so it is protected. If it wasn't for natural death in plain sight, I would not have been able to actively hunt."

Bi Fang does not touch key protected animals. This is a well-known thing. On the one hand, he strictly abides by the treaty, and on the other hand, he actively maintains the ecological balance and sets an example.

As a public figure, if you eat this bowl of rice, you have to bear this fruit.

It makes no sense that Bi Fang has developed through live broadcasting, and he can do whatever he wants.

If it was in China, Bi Fang would go a step further and would not even touch protected animals that died of natural causes, because it is a legal requirement.

Don't open this hole, otherwise everyone will have an excuse next time to say that animals died of natural causes.

Fortunately, it is now abroad, although in general, protected animals that died of natural death cannot be eaten casually, and the restraint is not so strong.

For Bi Fang, who has a professional hunter certificate, he can take the initiative to handle and protect animal carcasses.

Furthermore, this is a witness to the eyes of the public.

Skillfully cutting along the body structure of the ostrich, Bi Fang completely removed all parts of the ostrich, and also peeled off the complete ostrich skin.

"Ostrich feathers are soft in texture, plump and elegant, and have a good hand feel. They have excellent thermal insulation properties, and ostrich feathers are the only feathers that do not have static electricity. They can wipe precision industrial instruments and are the best ingredients for the clothing industry. We can take them off. It would also be nice to make a small cape.”

The Sahara is cold at night and still needs some protective measures.

After taking the ostrich meat, Bi Fang stared at the half of the cobra's tail for a while, wondering if he should take it or not.

Finally, after thinking about it, I gave up.

Snakes eat their own tails.

It's not that some parasites are causing trouble, but that after eating half-full, it caused an excited appetite. Looking around for food to devour, and in the process suddenly finds a tail that moves, and swallows it.

Snakes are low-intelligence creatures, and they don't think their tails and bodies are themselves. If they don't feel pain, they might actually devour them.

"Snakes in the wild generally do not devour themselves in a wide environment, but in a small environment where they are raised alone, they are particularly easy to find their tails without the interference of other things."

"In addition to a strong appetite, there is also environmental stress and so on..."

"Dogs also bite their tails, but it's more for itching and play."

"The cobra just now has been seriously injured and it is difficult to survive, but everything is not absolute, it may come back to eat its own tail."

"If we took it, it might have cut its life off."

There is enough ostrich meat, the Saharan weather is hot, the food is easily spoiled, and it is impossible to eat another cobra.

With a large amount of ostrich meat, Bi Fang quickly left the canyon, which was full of **** smell due to bloodletting, and started to process the ostrich meat immediately after walking out.

In order to preserve it, it is natural to remove the moisture in it, and making jerky is the best way.

For this reason, Bi Fang did not stop smoking until the night.

No life is inseparable from water, and the same is true for bacteria and microorganisms. Without the living conditions of bacteria and microorganisms, they cannot survive.

Therefore, bacon, sausage, and dry food can be stored for a long time and are not easy to deteriorate.

It would be even better if it could be preserved. In preserved food, the concentration of salt increases, and the water of bacterial cells continuously seeps into the food, and the bacteria will lose water and die.

Therefore, the shelf life of pickled products is also very long. like

Pickled and dried in the sun, it is simply fried, with a shelf life of several years, and it will be fine for decades, just like ham.

It's just that it requires a lot of salt, which Bi Fang can collect, but he doesn't have on hand.

But smoking is enough, and it will take about a month to successfully pass through, and there is no need to persist for that long.

By the way, you can also eat barbecue.

To remove moisture, you can't use roasting, you can only smoke and dry. Bi Fang made a rack and hung meat on it.

The fire below was not idle either, baking today's dinner.

It was a huge ostrich leg with slits cut on it for easy tasting and roasting.

The firewood crackled, and sparks scattered in the darkness, illuminating Bi Fang's face red.

Saharan plants are very dry and burn easily, but they are not resistant to burning. For the same burning time and scale, more wood needs to be consumed.

"Although this ostrich was killed by snake venom, I have always said that snake venom is mainly composed of protein and peptides, which can be killed by high temperature, so birds killed by venomous snakes can be taken back as long as they do not deteriorate. Edible food can even supplement protein, but only after a long period of high temperature cooking can it be eaten with confidence.”

Snake venom has two functions, anesthetic and digestive juice, and its chemical nature is basically protein.

Even if it is not heated and denatured, when the protein enters the stomach, its peptide chain will be broken and denatured under the action of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, and the spatial structure of the molecule will be destroyed by gastric juice, so that it loses its activity and function and is converted into non-toxic substances.

Animals bitten to death by poisonous snakes are actually pre-digested. In theory, there is nothing wrong with eating them directly, but it must be confirmed that there is no damage to the human mouth and digestive tract.

"The only thing to pay attention to is that animals killed by poisonous snakes must be eaten in time, otherwise they will rot faster than normal ones over time."

"There is a special race in Africa. It is rumored that they used snake venom as a weapon when they hunted in the past. There is a highly venomous snake in the area called the Bubble Viper, which can poison a strong bison in a very short time. People liked it. It is so powerful that it can be used to capture bison and feast on it.”

"But instead of putting snake venom on the bow and arrow, they were smarter. After they caught the snake, they tied it up and set up a trap. They tied it to the tree by the river. When the bison came here to drink water, the snake would jump up and bite it. , and then they go to find the poisoned cow, pull it back and cook it, and it will not be poisoned."

[666, this is too showy]

【Biological Trap (Dog Head)】

[Damn, I'm so hungry, this barbecue is delicious]

[I haven't eaten ostrich meat yet, and my saliva is drooling]

There are also many spice plants in the desert. Bi Fang has seen a lot along the way. Sometimes he picks them and hangs them for drying. It can be dried in just one day, and after a little rubbing with his hands, it turns into crumb powder.

Combined with the collected rock salt, it is a good condiment.

Sprinkling salt and spices on it, Bi Fang used a dagger to separate a piece of cooked meat on the surface, ignoring the hot mouth and stuffed it into his mouth, Shi Ha inhaled, swallowed it after a long time, and exclaimed refreshingly.

The skin is golden and crispy, and it makes a crackling sound under the scratching of the dagger. The surface is also full of grease. The salt grains melt under the high temperature, and together with the spice powder collected on the journey, it exudes a strong aroma.

Just looking at it through the screen is mouthwatering.

Creatures that have lived in the wild for a long time have strong muscles, especially in the legs, and there is not much fat. It is inevitable that they will be dry and difficult to eat.

However, after various treatments by Bi Fang, there is no taint and the taste is good. Even if the taste is not good, it still has the advantage of being large.

Saharan supplies are hard to find, and Bi Fang has not eaten so comfortably for a long time. Usually, he is half full, and then mixes some water, which is barely enough.

"You can't eat too much. Too full will make you sleepy. It doesn't matter in normal times, but it is a little dangerous in the wilderness, because you need to be on high alert, especially when you need to keep vigil."

While chatting with the audience and eating, Bi Fang ate a lot, and he ate most of the ostrich's legs, which shows that Bi Fang has a good appetite.

Although it is meat firewood, it may not be as good as it is now when it is made into jerky.

But even so, he just ate eight points and restrained himself.

In this way, it is dried during the day and smoked at night, and the water in the meat evaporates a lot.

All the ostrich meat was made into dry food by Bi Fang in less than two days and hung on Alpha's back.

With ostriches as a food supplement, there is no need to worry about resource shortages for at least a month. In addition to the need to find fresh water, the journey is a little faster.

However, in the semi-prairie area, it is easier to find some water resources, and it is also possible to use the functions of plants.
