Liu Wei followed the elephants and found the herd.

The footage shows two elephants picking figs from a tree with their trunks to eat.

"Brothers, there are two more over there, and here..."

As the camera switched, seven or eight pygmy elephants appeared one after another. Judging from the size and length of their tusks, they were all underage elephants. Liu Wei did not see the parent of the elephant group, which was the oldest one. Older female elephant.

"Brothers, generally speaking, the number of pygmy elephant herd members is more than 20, and it consists of several generations of elephants. What we see now is less than one-third of the entire elephant herd. Following us along the way, we have discovered from Judging from the traces, I think there will be more elephants in this herd." Liu Wei speculated from a distance.

There is no rush to go up and get in touch with a few elephants that are looking for food.

The sound-loving bull elephant that led him also blended into the herd and began to use its long trunk to curl the roots of the fig tree.

Its body is already capable of digesting high-fiber foods like tree roots.

"Let's go around quietly and take a look!"

Liu Wei held his live broadcast mobile phone to keep a distance from the elephant, and carefully walked around from the side. He was eager to find the baby elephant in the herd.

Soon, Liu Wei heard a cry from the rain forest.

The sound is very long and loud, and the human ear cannot hear the infrasound waves clearly, but there is a hoarse feeling in the cry.

Liu Wei frowned and became nervous, "Brothers, this is a warning from parents. Have I been discovered?"

"how could I know?"

"We were not there!"

"I didn't see the elephant leader either!"

"..."

The audience is also in doubt.

Liu Wei paid attention to his surroundings and found two female elephants staring at him in a place with dense branches and leaves.

However, these two female elephants are only about seven or eight years old, and they are still the ones being cared for in the elephant herd, and they do not make any noise to alert the entire elephant herd.

Liu Wei guessed that there should be other threats approaching the elephant herd.

He did not explore for the time being and focused on the two female elephants in front of him.

He walked up generously.

Two female elephants rushed up, waving their trunks.

Liu Wei took two steps back and stretched out his hand. The female elephant walked back, returned to the original position covered by leaves, and stood there staring at Liu Wei as before.

"Brothers, they seem a little afraid of me. I need to show a friendlier side to communicate with them!"

He said while leaning forward.

The heads of the two female elephants were close together. Seeing Liu Wei getting closer and closer to them, they turned around and ran away at the same time.

Liu Wei smiled and said: "It's a bit embarrassing. If they are afraid of me, they will definitely go back to the elephant herd now. If I follow them, I can find the center of the elephant herd!"

Liu Wei carefully followed the two female elephants.

Soon, several huge elephants appeared in the field of vision.

Liu Wei crouched down and hid in the grass to take pictures.

"Damn, this is huge!"

"These ones are so big, they feel almost like Asian elephants!"

"It is estimated by visual inspection that it is over two and a half meters tall!"

"The largest one should be the head of the herd!"

Liu Wei said softly: "Brothers, have you seen the thing on the neck of that female elephant? It is exactly consistent with what I speculated before. This huge elephant herd has been studied and protected by humans. The thing on its neck is It is a GPS collar that helps conservation staff understand the dynamics of the elephant herd at any time.

Your feeling is correct, that female elephant is the parent of the entire herd!"

"Hang~Hang~hiss~"

As soon as Liu Weigang finished speaking, the adult female elephant raised her trunk and mouth and made a cry.

The sound is the same as before.

It is a warning to intruders with good intentions.

Liu Wei was certain that the warning sound was not reminding him, but that it was someone else or an animal.

After several long roars.

The members of the elephant group who were moving around slowly began to gather around.

The number of elephants that the audience sees in the camera is also increasing.

Liu Wei leaned out and counted, "Brothers, I can see more than twenty-five elephants. There should be more. The number of elephants in this group is conservatively estimated to be more than thirty!"

The gathered elephants spread out in a circular motion route, with the parent of the herd in the middle.

wrong……

Liu Wei tilted his head and looked over. He saw a baby elephant, only as tall as the female elephant's thigh, sucking milk from the female elephant's belly.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out you're hiding under the female elephant's body!" Liu Wei showed an excited smile.

The camera went from far to near, passing through the thick legs of several elephants, and captured a baby elephant sucking milk.

Its nose was rolled into an S shape, its hind legs were bent and it squatted on the ground. It raised its head and held Nana tightly in its mouth, sucking very hard!

"Wow, so patient!"

"I want to eat Nana too!"

"You're paralyzed and you can make milk powder yourself!"

"I wonder if elephant breast milk is the same as our human breast milk?"

"This question can only be confirmed by Ah Wei!"

"Awei, you go up and have a try too!"

Liu Wei smiled and said: "I have passed the age of breastfeeding. This baby elephant may be less than one year old. Female elephants will feed their babies with breast milk until they are two years old. Food for pygmy elephants in Borneo is relatively scarce. You guys Asking me to snatch a child's milk, is this what a human being does?"

"Serious nonsense!"

"You're just a coward, you're afraid of being trampled to death!"

"Hahaha, don't expose him, you know it all in your heart!"

Liu Wei: "Brothers, let's play and have fun, don't make fun of your life.

Returning to the topic of baby elephants, you can see that in the family of Bornean pygmy elephants, the baby elephant is the center of the universe. Standing around the baby elephant are not only its mother, but also its sisters, cousins, and seven aunts. All the eight aunts will keep their distance around it. When danger is approaching, they will stay alert and protect the young elephant from harm from the outside world.

Although it’s not clear what the sudden intrusion made the entire elephant herd nervous, they have already set up their best defensive posture to prepare for it!”

"Hang~hiss~Hang~"

Elephant parents who were feeding their children sounded the warning again.

The sound is louder.

It means that the threat is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, all the elephant heads turned in one direction - to Liu Wei's right hand side.

"Are you here?" Liu Wei was very curious, got through the grass, stood up and looked out.

A male elephant that was larger than an adult female elephant appeared in the field of vision. Two strong long tusks were exposed from his mouth. He took long strides and slowly walked towards the elephant herd.

After hearing the warning call from the female elephant, it stopped and watched.

But not long after, it walked directly into the elephant herd. The adult female elephants of the elephant group did not drive it away, and the underage male elephants had no way to do anything with it.

It walked behind a female elephant's buttocks, raised its trunk and touched the female elephant's buttocks.

The other elephants took a few steps aside.

"What is it doing?"

"It doesn't seem to be a member of the elephant herd, right?"

"This elephant's tusks are so long, it's already an adult. Ah Wei said that adult male elephants like to live alone!"

"Then why does it come back? To grab food?"

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and smiled from the corner of his eyes, "Brothers, it's for wooing!"
