Chapter 242 Hope

The group of wild boars came and went quickly, running up the mountain one after another.

Neither snow nor cold temperatures can stop them from running to a more difficult environment.

This is so abnormal!You must know that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the less food there is. Wild boars are mammals and need blood and skin to regulate their body temperature.

Wild boars are rare in areas with low temperatures because they cannot maintain their body temperature in very cold areas and will freeze to death directly in cold places.

Wang Anan did not expect that one day he would observe wild boars in the cold weather.

This is really a novel experience!

After the wild boar left, it didn't take long before the muffled sound of feet stepping on wet leaves came again.

Everyone's hearts were raised again, this time it should be some animals, right?

Indeed, this time it was not a herd of wild boars.

It is a group of Chinese gorals, which belong to the family Bovidae and a subspecies of sheep.

So if you look at it from this aspect, you can't even tell whether it belongs to a cow or a sheep.But in fact, it is also assigned to the genus Banbell.

So don't worry too much about whether it is a cow or a sheep.But it still raises questions when you see what it looks like.

"Is this a cow or a sheep?"

Both male and female have two pointed horns on their heads, and their bodies are about the size of a goat, but they don't have beards like goats.

In general, an adult Chinese gazelle weighs about 40-50 kg.

Not very big, but not small either.

The color of the fur varies from region to region, but is mostly grayish tan with a brown back stripe and a white patch on the throat.

Most of them live in mountain forests, and can live in areas as high as 4000 meters above sea level, alone or in small groups.

So it is quite normal to find a single Chinese gazelle here.Unlike wild boars, it looks very strange.

The Chinese gazelle feeds on the twigs, leaves, and fruits of various grasses and shrubs, and animals like this gazelle are vegetarians.

Chinese gorals are rare and endangered wild animals, and it is very lucky to be able to photograph them.

At this time, Wang An'an got excited!

The camera turned on silent mode and turned off the shutter sound. "Kacha Kacha" to pat.

"Coconut, Ah Yong, Lao Li! Keep up! Bring your locator! When it's time to come back, you must come back early. It's getting late quickly, and it's easy to get lost in this kind of area.

In addition to the normal progress of shooting work, you must pay attention to your own safety.Safety first! "Boss Wang gave the order decisively at this time.

"Roger that!"

So Coconut, A Yong and Lao Li just carried their backpacks and some tools on their backs and followed the group of Chinese gazelles.

It is not so easy to track the Chinese gazelle. The weather is cold, the tools available are scarce, and there is no heating equipment.It is also difficult for human walking speed to keep up with the speed of Chinese gazelle in the forest.

So in fact, when Boss Wang asked Uncle Li and the others to keep up with the Chinese gazelle, he didn't hold out much hope.

Uncle Li and the others have jobs, but people like Wang An'an don't have any jobs yet.

Still can only squat around the beast path stupidly, to see if there is any trace of the snow leopard.

Until after three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to set, but still no animals appeared again.

At this time, the three of Uncle Li had also returned to the team.

Not surprisingly, the Chinese gazelle was lost.

But even if they were lost, the photos taken by the three of them are enough.

This is the characteristic of shooting wild animals outdoors. You don’t even need to know much about these animals. As long as you can find their tracks and capture their figures, you can complete the shooting task.

But if you want to be a top outdoor wildlife photographer.It is essential to have an understanding of the habits of the animals being photographed.

Especially in order to shoot some rare wild animals, only by knowing them well enough can we find their traces accurately and quickly in the vast nature.

This is not an easy task, and sometimes it is even necessary to observe the excrement of these animals to find out what they like to eat and where in this forest they can find what they like to eat.

These are all skills that a good outdoor wildlife photographer must have.

"996, I know too little about many animals. Does this have a big impact on my going out to take photos of wild animals in the future?"

996: "Of course! Think about it, you who don't understand anything, how could you find one or two animals in a forest?

Those experienced old hunters can even distinguish the traces of which animal it is by distinguishing between smell and footprints.

Although shooting wild animals does not require such a deep understanding of animals like hunters, you still need to know the habits of most animals. "

It seems that I have to learn it, and it seems a bit difficult to learn it by myself, and it is not very systematic.

Do I have to sign up for a class after I go back?

Thinking about it this way, there are too many things to learn in the future.

Animals, plants, and even some knowledge about geography and climate have to be learned.

Wang Anan also never imagined that being a photographer would require learning so many things.

Even if it is not very deep, if you want to understand it simply, the knowledge of these things is enough.

Back at the camp, Wang Anan and the others gathered in the equipment shed, waiting for Uncle Li and Coconut's works.

The evening time was originally for the daily routine meeting for work analysis.

Track and shoot during the day, analyze and study the works at night, and learn some knowledge related to these animals at the same time.

"This time we were very lucky. We only came here for a few days to capture the argali. At the same time, we captured a video of a suspected giant panda. Today we captured wild boar and Chinese gazelle.

I have to say we are lucky!You must know that argali and Chinese gazelle alone are things that many outdoor photography teams may not be able to photograph even if they ask their grandparents to tell their grandma. "

In fact, in Wang An'an's opinion, after squatting for a whole day today, he only photographed two kinds of animals, which is already very little.

Although I know that it is very difficult to photograph giant pandas and snow leopards, I have only photographed a few animals after coming here for many days.

There is still a gap with Wang Anan's initial expectations.

Sometimes the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. If you have enough disappointment, you are unwilling to give up even a shred of hope.
