Chapter 14 Master of catching fish!
Guo Mi couldn't count how many times she had failed, but it didn't matter. As the number of failures increased, her timing and clawing speed became faster and faster.
A few times my paws have touched the fish!
At this rate of progress, she believes it won’t be long before she can catch the fish!
Photographing fish out of the water is a brown bear's "unique skill". During the salmon migration season, brown bears will gather in groups in shoals, creeks, or small waterfalls. Fish shot out of the water!
This is a rare time when brown bears will restrain their attack intentions, because as long as they are qualified hunters, they can have a delicious meal during this time, and they do not need to compete.
Of course, this is also an important time to store fat, which can help everyone live longer.
Guo Mi was also a good fish catcher back then!
Now that the speed of her claws is enough to knock the fish out of the water, what other factors will cause her to fail in hunting?
Caesar was lying lazily on the snow slope, watching the round-faced plate bear below suddenly stopped moving, and just sat blankly by the lake, using his paws to pick at the snow slag next to him out of boredom.
Are you guessing that she is finally giving up?
However, not long after this thought occurred, he saw the round-faced plate bear below suddenly stood up, lowered his head, and put the tip of his nose on the water!
Caesar narrowed his eyes and watched her sometimes twitch her nose twice, sometimes stop, and after a while she quietly raised her paws and moved two steps to the side.
When she did these actions, the tip of her nose was always on the water, which looked a little funny.
Caesar's interest, which had disappeared, was aroused again. Sitting on the snowy slope, he couldn't help but stare at her intently.
Another two minutes passed, and just when Caesar thought that the round-faced plate bear would continue this action for at least another two hours, Guo Mi, who had been waiting patiently, instantly took out his claws!
“Wow——” There was a sound of water!
A fish covered in blue and black scales was photographed out of the water, struggling in mid-air, and finally landed on the edge of the lake!
The two little bears next to him were shocked, their eyes filled with admiration when they looked at Guo Mi!
Even Caesar was surprised!
He didn't understand how Guo Mi did it!
And Guo Mi just sat by the lake, with his chest raised and his head raised, enjoying the adoring gazes of the two little bears, and the round ears on his head twitched twice!
She had just been thinking about why she failed to catch fish, and then she figured it out.
When catching fish in the forest, most of them are in shoals and creeks, and the water in these places is very shallow.
The slap range of the bear's paw is very large, and most fish have no way to escape, and in the end they can only be slapped out of the water.
But the water in this pond is too deep, and the fish can dive down!
Before she had time to take a photo of the fish, the fish had already dived underwater.
So she must find a way to get the fish closer to the water surface so that their diving speed cannot keep up with the speed of the bear's paw, so that she can successfully shoot the fish out of the water!
The only trouble is that she doesn’t have artificial bait for humans, and now she can’t find anything else to attract the fish’s attention. In the end, she can only try it with her nose first.
Guo Mi looked at the fish that was jumping sideways on the shore repeatedly trying to jump back into the water, and decisively knocked it out with a claw!
It seems that the Arctic also has its advantages. At least there are no fishermen everywhere. Most of the fish look very "stupid" and can be deceived by just using their noses.
Caesar sat on the snowy slope, so patient for the first time.
Watching the round-faced Plate Bear continue to use that strange method to catch fish, from occasionally succeeding once or twice at the beginning, to occasionally failing once or twice in the end, only three hours have passed!
Now even he couldn't help but marvel at the learning ability of this round-faced plate bear!
Towards evening, the "Fruit Master" who had been busy all day finally finished his day's hunting and began to enjoy today's feast.
She didn't consciously collect the prey when she caught fish. Now the entire edge of the lake is full of scattered fish, including more than thirty fish of various sizes!
Two little bears followed her but didn’t even eat any fish. Guo Mi didn't miss the way they were swallowing saliva wildly while looking at the fish. She was very focused when fishing, and she might not notice the two little furballs stealing one or two.
Are you waiting for her to eat together?
She thought as she collected the fish scattered everywhere into the same place.
The two little bears looked at Guo Mi's movements, hesitated for a moment, ran out from behind her, tentatively bit the tail of one of the fish, and then looked at Guo Mi nervously. They seemed to relax when they were sure she had no reaction. The tone of her voice followed her and gathered the fish together.
With the help of the two little bears, the thirty fish gathered quickly, and soon they were piled into a pile.
Guo Mi sat in front of the pile of fish and was very satisfied with his results. He picked out the biggest fish from the pile and took a big bite!
The fish in the Arctic look the same as the fish in the forest, and even the oil is not as good as that of migrating salmon. Of course, it may just be a simple difference in species.
The two little bears did not come forward to share the dinner, but sat obediently behind Guo Mi's buttocks, and the sound of swallowing saliva could not be heard.
Guo Mi was busy enjoying the food and didn't pay attention to them at first. She was still wondering if these two little fur balls weren't hungry?
It wasn’t until I had a delicious meal of fish that I heard the weak voice of the little male bear:
“Sister, can I eat the remaining fish bones?”
< br>There was a brief silence before Sister Xiong’s hesitant voice rang out:
“Wait a little longer. When she is full, let’s ask if we can share the rest with us.”
Even though the little male bear was too hungry, he still said obediently:
"Okay..." He looked a little hesitant:
"But is she willing to share it with us?"< br>
Sister Bear’s voice was also very hesitant:
“I should... yes, she is a very good bear.”
Hearing what the two little furballs said, Guo Mi couldn't laugh or cry, and finally realized that he was overthinking.
Waiting for others to eat together is a basic social etiquette in the human world, but for bears there is not so much human contact.
No wonder the two little bears looked so nervous when they helped. In the bear's world, all these fish are her prey.
To touch the prey caught by another bear without permission is a provocation to that bear and can easily lead to a "bloody battle".
The two little fur dumplings who helped her just now may have had the idea of helping in their hearts, but it was probably more of a test.
I want to see if she has a strong desire to monopolize her prey. If she drives them away, it means that she does not want to share her prey with other bears.
If she hadn't driven them away, they could still be bold and try to see if they could get some "leftovers" from her.
Guo Mi looked back and saw that the two little bears thought they were trying to drive them away. He quickly got up and ran two steps further away. Then he sat down and lowered his body, with his little ears flattened. He tried his best to calm himself down. Looks cute and harmless.
The two pairs of beady eyes were so hungry that they were almost glowing green, but they still looked at her pitifully, as if begging her not to drive them away.
Guo Mi sighed in his heart, finally relented, and called the two little guys over:
"Come to me."
