There are many strange little animals in Australia, especially those with bags on their bellies, such as kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian tigers, Tasmanian devils, etc. It's as if when the ancestors of the animals came to Australia, God suddenly gave everyone a bag to stick on their bellies to prevent their belly buttons from getting cold.
There are 240 species of marsupials in the world, 170 of which are concentrated in Australia. Scientists don't know what's wrong with the feng shui. Wang Ping sometimes thinks maliciously that if humans continue to evolve on this land for a long time, maybe one day they will grow small pouches.
The scientific name of koala is Koala Bear. Although the word "bear" is in its name, koalas are vegetarians like giant pandas. They are also cute and are both national treasures. The difference is that giant pandas are extremely powerful, but they are just too lazy to move, while koalas are really stupid, and their reaction time is comparable to that of sloths.
It is said that someone has done an experiment and pinched a koala hard. After a long time, the koala screamed. It is said that this is because koalas only eat eucalyptus leaves, which are poisonous. Their brains are poisoned, which is why they are so stupid.
Wang Ping is skeptical about the former reflex arc theory, but he knows the latter one, which is pure nonsense. The koala's liver has a unique structure that can break down the toxins in eucalyptus leaves and excrete them from the body. Therefore, this creature needs to sleep at least 18 hours a day to detoxify, and the poisoning theory is pure nonsense.
As for why it is so stupid, Wang Ping thinks that if any creature sleeps 18 hours a day, it won't be very smart. So this creature has a nickname, "Sleeping Bear". It spends its whole life either sleeping or on the way to sleep.
Looking up at the koala that was only a badger's distance away from him, Wang Ping scratched his head, feeling an urge in his heart to try it out.
“Is it true that this thing has such a long reflex arc? Does its baby really survive by eating poop?”
However, considering that the badger has been standing here for a long time and still maintains a "stunned" look, its reaction time is probably not that short.
Wang Ping carefully stepped around the puddle of water under the tree, and climbed up the trunk a few times, just keeping a parallel height with the koala, and they looked at each other in surprise.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound, like the sound of a quilt being slapped, rang out in the woods. A half-cut eucalyptus leaf with teeth marks on it swayed back and forth and fell into a small puddle under the tree.
About five seconds later, a sound similar to the panting of a pig suddenly came from the woods, making a certain badger look very upset. Such a cute little animal actually had a duck voice, and its call was really unpleasant.
A koala has started to climb up a tree. God knows what it originally wanted to do when it came down. After getting slapped in the face, it forgot everything and now just wants to go back and have a good sleep.
Wang Ping followed closely beside the man, and when he finally climbed up a little, he quickly caught up with him. He shamelessly stretched out his claws to scratch his belly, wanting to see where the small bag was. However, he couldn't find it after searching for a long time, but when he lifted his thigh, he saw something that looked like a "small ball".
"Ugh, it's an eyesore!"
The badger quickly let go of the koala's hind legs and rubbed its claws against the tree trunk in disgust. However, when it touched a bulge on the tree trunk, its claws suddenly loosened and directly grabbed the bulge.
"What is that?"
The pad felt soft, like a soft-skinned egg. Wang Ping subconsciously took it in front of him and looked at it, then he shuddered.
"Spicy next door~Spider spirit!"
The little black claw raised, and the egg-sized spider flew away. At the same time, a badger also fell down and landed on the grass with a "smack". Then he stood up instantly, scratching the goose bumps on his body.
The spider was so huge, and since it was held in the hand at close range, one could clearly see the structure of its mouthparts and the brown hair on its body.
"Curiosity kills the badger. I must have nightmares tonight!"
Wang Ping walked back cursing. He no longer had the interest to find out whether the koala was a male or a female. He just wanted to go back and wash his paws. God knows how many bacteria the spider carried.
There are rivers to the south and west of the campsite, and many tributaries from the Belfede Mountains flow into Belfede Lake. When Wang An returned to the campsite, he was taking out the camping pot to get water.
In fact, the two of them brought a simple gas stove, but Gu Lang still set up the campfire and prepared to make a fire. Wang Ping thought about it, ran to his small backpack and took out a piece of Safeguard, followed Wang An's footsteps and went to the water source in the south.
After crossing the firebreak on the south side and walking less than thirty meters in the forest, you will find a three-meter-wide stream, which turns west in front of the campsite.
Wang An squatted by the river to clean the pot. Just as she was about to fill it with water, she saw a streak of white soap foam floating on the water. Turning her head, she saw a badger squatting on her left, rubbing its two small black paws until they were covered with foam.
"Damn, if you were my badger, I would have killed you eight times already!"
"I..." Wang Ping turned his head in astonishment, "I was just washing my hands, why did I provoke you again?"
"Go, go, go, wash up and down!"
Wang An rolled his eyes, raised his hand and grabbed the back of the badger's collar, lifted it to the other side, and then washed the pot again with a cold face.
Wang Ping was stunned for almost three koala's reflex times before he drooped his shoulders angrily and washed his little paws silently. His little furry mouth opened and closed as if he was swearing, but no sound came out.
When they returned, Gu Lang had almost finished packing, but he was not in a hurry to light the bonfire. Because he had hitchhiked halfway, he estimated that he had at least three hours of spare time. It was still early before the sun set, and Gu Xianyu was so quiet that he wanted to have a discussion with Wang An.
Wang Ping knew what this idiot was thinking. He probably thought that he had practiced Sanda for a few months and that he had fought Old Han to a "draw", so he was already an expert. Now that he had a chance to show off, it would also let Wang An know that he was not a rookie. The two "experts" might be able to create some sparks if they exchanged some skills.
"bring it on!"
In front of the camera, Gu Lang stood with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly and said with an aloof temperament: "Don't hold back!"
"Tsk..." A badger who had just opened a bag of nuts raised his paws to cover his eyes.
At sunset, when a pickup truck with zero shock absorption effect turned into the firebreak in the afterglow, the bearded man was startled by the "pig-headed" guy who came towards him as soon as he got out of the car.
"Shit, who are you?" The bearded man looked alert.
"It's me!... Gu Lang! You still have my passport!" said a certain salted fish with a swollen face with a wry smile.
"Ah~" The bearded man twitched his lips. He first saw his daughter running towards him, and felt relieved. Then he asked curiously, "Brother, how did you get into this state? Who beat you up?"
"Ahem... that's... not that!" Gu Lao San waved his hands and said awkwardly, "I was just unlucky. I fell in the woods and hit a tree."
Wang An, who was not far away, covered his face with his hands. A badger that was eating nuts suddenly choked and started slapping his chest hard while coughing non-stop.
"Daddy~" Just as the bearded man was about to speak, Alice had already run over with the wolf Xiao Si. Her little hands climbed up the bearded man's shoulders as he bent over to kiss her, and she whispered in his ear, "That sister is so fierce, just like mom, she beat my uncle until he cried..."
"Well… "
The bearded man froze for a moment, rubbed the little girl's head, stood up and said sympathetically to the person who was laughing awkwardly: "Indeed, this forest is quite slippery..."
"Yes, yes!" Someone nodded repeatedly with a sympathetic look on his face, "It's too dangerous!"
Giving a sympathetic look, the bearded man turned around and took a box of beer from the trunk, changing the subject: "I thought you guys came here on foot and you must not have brought any beer, so I brought a box from the supermarket over there! Shall we drink together?"
"You... don't you have to drive back?" Gu Lang frowned and pointed at Alice, "You don't want to drive drunk with your daughter, do you?"
"Haha!" The bearded man raised his head and laughed: "Brother, this place is only a dozen kilometers away from Halls Gap. I can call a designated driver!"
On the other side, in a bar on the coast of Perth, Old Han burped, hooked the shoulder of the short "man" next to him, and said with a big tongue: "Brother Jerry, hey~~You can drink quite well!"
"It's OK~ I'm far worse than you (*_-)!"
Yuan Xiaoxiao calmly put someone's paw back on the bar, and then quietly said: "Tell me your story?"
"Okay! When we meet a good friend over a glass of wine, I'll tell you about it!"
