It was actually a deer!
Snowy held her breath and stared at the brown plum deer in surprise. The netizens in the live broadcast room were all exclaiming that snowy was really lucky to encounter a plum deer as soon as she entered the park.
“What a beautiful deer!”
“I’ve seen deer in Nara too. Snowy, try and touch it!”
“Yes, yes, nara’s deer are so docile. They can even be fed with their shells!”
It should be a doe that had just reached adulthood. Although it seemed to be staring at snowy and Zhang Zian, its eyes were on both sides of its head, which allowed it to see almost 270 degrees of the scenery, so it could guard against the attack of its natural enemies.
Its back was covered with irregular spots, like the petals of plum blossoms falling on its body. Its two diamond-shaped ears turned around from time to time, listening to the movements around it.
Snowy excitedly gave Zhang Zian a thumbs up, meaning,”That’s great, I didn’t even see it, how did you find out?
The brown doe almost perfectly blended into the background of the brown trunk and the dead branches and leaves on the ground. Snowy had turned the camera 360 degrees just now, but she didn’t find a plum deer hiding there.
In fact, Zhang Zian was not the first to discover it. He saw Galaxy run there, then tilt its head and look at the tree trunk, as if there was something there. He took a closer look and saw the pair of round and full of vitality eyes.
This was also the first time Zhang Zian had seen a deer outside of a Zoo. The feeling was completely different from when he was in a Zoo. The animals in a Zoo, because they had been kept in a narrow space for a long time, often lost their spirituality in their eyes and movements, and also lost their vigilance against humans.
A few more tourists were walking over. Seeing the two of them standing on the forest path and not moving forward, they felt a little strange. Zhang Zian gestured to them one by one, asking them to pay attention to the sika deer. Everyone tacitly closed their mouths, took out their camera equipment, and began to take photos.
Did this deer get infected with prion?
No one knew, but at least it was not ill at the moment, and its movements and eyes were very agile.
It sensed that these people had no ill intentions towards it, so it lowered its head and began to chew on the leaves and grass. Then, it continued to look at them while chewing.
In addition, it seemed to have smelled other smells, the smell of cats, but it couldn’t see any traces of cats, which made it very confused.
Seeing the bullet comments in the live broadcast room, snowy’s heart was also itching. She had some small snacks in her backpack and wanted to take them out to feed the deer. At least they were more delicious than leaves. It would be even better if she could touch it.
When Zhang Zian saw the food she took out, he quickly waved his hand at her, indicating that she should take the food back because feeding crickets to wild animals was forbidden in San Francisco, not just in San Francisco, but in most states of the United States. Of course, this was a good thing for wild animals, so that they would not be too dependent on humans. Moreover, ordinary people did not know the habits of wild animals and often fed them blindly. Some naughty children even fed animals things that could not be eaten. Even nara’s deer were often fed until they had health problems.
Snowy regretfully put the food back into her bag.
Drip, drip.
The water droplets fell on Zhang Zian’s head and shoulders.
There was no rain, but the air was too moist, and the moisture condensed into water droplets on the leaves and then dripped down.
It was quiet outside the forest, and everyone wanted to take a look at this beautiful creature.
Suddenly, fina, old time tea, famous, and the others ‘ears moved, and they all turned their heads to look at the forest.
The sika deer’s four limbs seemed to be on a spring, and it jumped up without any warning, running and jumping in the forest to escape.
Just as everyone was wondering who had scared it, a coyote came out of the woods and chased closely behind the plum deer, making a strange giggle sound.
The coyote and the deer were very fast, and coupled with the dense forest, the two animals had already disappeared into the forest before anyone could react. No one had captured the appearance of the coyote with the camera.
“Ya!” Snowy didn’t know what a coyote was, so she whispered,”is that … A Wolf?”
“Coyote, a small Wolf that only lives in North America.” Zhang Zian corrected her.
“Then … Then will the coyote eat the deer?” She stomped her feet anxiously. After all, this was a world where looks mattered. The beautiful plum deer was more popular than the gray-faced coyote.
Old time tea and famous turned to look at him, wondering if they should go after the deer and save it.
He shook his head slightly. This was a National Park. It was natural selection and survival of the fittest. Whether it was the coyote or the deer, they were part of the ecosystem. As a human, it was best not to interfere, especially in a situation where it was impossible to determine whether the coyote or deer were infected. It was better to let them control their own fate.
“The deer is very alert and flexible. I don’t think the coyote can catch up with it.” He consoled.
Snowy was more or less relieved, but she looked around nervously.”Are there other coyotes?”
“I can’t say for sure. Let’s not stray too far from that group of people.”
The group of people who came from behind had already surpassed the two of them. Zhang Zian motioned for snowy to follow.
Coyotes, like most other canines, are also social animals, but they are used to fighting alone when hunting. It may be because the area they live in overlaps with human beings, and the objective environment does not allow them to fight on a large scale like wolves.
Because of this small interlude, it added a sense of excitement and mystery to the originally dull Garden Tour.
Along the way, snowy looked around with her eyes wide open, looking for traces of plum deer or coyotes, but she didn’t pay much attention to the park itself.
The park was very quiet. The chirping of birds often came from the dense treetops, but they could not see where the birds were.
Walking on the wet wooden plank Road, he breathed in the sweet air that couldn’t exist in modern cities. Taking a deep breath was like a cool stream that reached his internal organs.
The leaves covered the sky and covered the sun. Many trees that had never seen the sun were covered in green moss. From time to time, small animals would step on the dead branches and leaves and quickly slip past, but when they looked over, they would disappear. In addition, there were also branches that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. If he were to walk alone in this Park at night, he might be frightened by these sounds.
Snowy was a little glad that she came with an acquaintance. Otherwise, she would have been a little frightened when the coyote appeared just now.
They later saw squirrels holding nuts on branches and hedgehogs in tree holes, but the plum deer and coyotes never appeared again.
At the end of the hiking route, they had a cup of coffee in the coffee shop next door to warm up. They also picked out some small gifts for their friends in China and the audience in the live broadcast room. Then, they embarked on their return journey.
