The reason for continuing to follow the herd is that this is perhaps the first time in history that icekeepers have recorded such a large-scale reindeer migration in the glaciers of the Arctic Circle.
There is no land here and there is very little food. In previous years, reindeer would not take this route when migrating.
Huoyu needs to record more video data to allow the icekeepers of the Department of Biology to study the cause of this phenomenon.
This has a significant impact on protecting wild reindeer in the polar regions.
As the live broadcast continues, the Icekeeper Biology Department is also working intensively.
Xie Jie touched his head with few hairs left, and murmured with a headache:
"It's this boy, why is it this boy again, why is it always this boy."
Now Huoyu has become something like a mascot in the biology department.
As soon as he starts broadcasting, there will be icekeepers from the biology department to follow up and observe. As expected, they will often find some surprising things.
No way, Huo Yu met more protected animals in one live broadcast than an ordinary icekeeper would meet in a year.
Huo Yu, who was sitting in the car and looking at the deer in boredom, let out a long sigh.
It is interesting to watch the deer migrate.
The herd of deer is vast and orderly, with no end in sight.
This feeling is a bit like hiding in the bathroom and watching other students running and doing exercises on the playground when I was a kid.
Many human beings are born with the habit of watching such big scenes.
But after seeing too much, that's all. Huo Yu even feels a little bored now.
But he can't leave now.
According to Ice Keeper regulations, large-scale animal migrations require full protection and tracking until they enter the area of responsibility of other Ice Keeper bases.
The problem is that there are no other Ice Keeper bases within a radius of 100 kilometers.
Judging from the direction the deer are heading, they may enter the responsibility of the 009 scientific research station tomorrow.
"Friends, it looks like I'm going to be ready to camp outside tonight."
Huo Yu rubbed the dull hair of the little fish next to him and said helplessly to the camera.
When the audience heard the word "camp", they immediately showed strong interest.
For many ordinary people, the words camping, adventure, and wilderness are synonymous with fun, and it feels like going out for a spring outing with classmates and friends.
But in fact, most explorers die on the way.
Surviving in the wild has never been a fun thing. Death is always around, making it a truly high-risk occupation.
Huo Yu glanced at the temperature gauge on the car and continued:
"Speaking of which, this is my first time camping in the Arctic wilderness, and it can be considered a sleepless night."
"However, camping in the Arctic is not comfortable at all. The temperature, humidity, and environment are not suitable for human rest. Moreover, it is daylight and there is no darkness yet, which will make it difficult to sleep."
The audience felt the same and gave Huo Yu advice:
"If it doesn't work out, Mr. Yu, can you imitate the Eskimos and dig an igloo to sleep in?"
"Be content, Mr. Yu, at least you still have an Arctic wolf, so you don't need to keep vigil at night."
"It's not me who told Xiaoyu to keep vigil at night. Isn't this reliable?"
"Xiaoyu worked hard all night. When Master Yu woke up in the morning, he found that the reindeer behind the car only had a skeleton."
"The conditions are indeed very difficult. The only good thing is that there are no mosquitoes in the Arctic."
Huo Yu looked at the chattering audience and smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I have the ability to sleep as comfortably as possible, even if I'm sleeping outside."
"Moreover, it's not that there are no mosquitoes in the Arctic. On the contrary, mosquitoes in the Arctic can be said to be extremely ferocious."
"Actually, many people have a misunderstanding. The North Pole and the Arctic Circle are not completely equal. For example, I am currently in the Arctic Circle, near the edge."
"After a while, in the summer of July and August, the temperature in some places in the Arctic Circle can even reach 30 degrees Celsius above zero. It can be said that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is understandable that mosquitoes will appear."
After hearing Huo Yu's answer, the audience immediately cheered.
"Tell me a little trivia." Huo Yu got into a good mood, sat up straight and said to the camera:
"Do you know? The mosquitoes that buzz around you and bite people on weekdays are actually female mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes do not suck blood."
"Because female mosquitoes must suck blood in order for their ovaries to develop and reproduce."
"Every mosquito that everyone shouts about is actually a hard-working mother, running around looking for food for their babies."
Huo Yu said to the camera with sincerity:
"So, stop complaining that you don't attract the opposite sex. At least you attracted female mosquitoes."
Audiences:? ? ?
Grab the bamboo shoots!
After a period of 'friendly' interactions with the audience, Huo Yu turned his attention back to the deer.
The migration speed of the deer has returned to normal, and it seems that the wolves have left here.
All the reindeer held their heads high and walked leisurely on the snow, leaving behind a string of cloven-hoof-shaped footprints.
This is what the original reindeer looked like, unhurried and quiet.
Reindeer are originally elegant creatures, but they are busy running for their lives when threatened by wolves.
Huo Yu also slowed down and followed the deer not far away to observe.
In terms of time, night has fallen, but the sky is still as bright as day, and the sun hangs on it without any intention of getting off work.
For those who have never seen Jishi, this kind of weather may be quite exciting.
But for Huo Yu, extreme daylight seriously affects his judgment of time, and it is difficult to get high-quality sleep.
The deer not far away had begun to stop, and they gradually gathered together to form a large circle.
Looking at the herd of reindeer, which was almost packed with deer next to each other, Huo Yu seriously doubted whether the innermost reindeer would suffer from hypoxia.
It really lives up to the famous saying, the deer that wants to get in can't get in, and the deer inside can't get out.
As the entire herd was gathered, Huo Yu also found a location with leeward where he could observe the deer and parked the car.
I will most likely spend tonight in the car. An igloo or something is too strenuous, and most people are not used to it.
After settling in, he began observing the entire herd's population.
There are really many reindeer. They are so densely packed at first glance that it is impossible to count them one by one.
Just like ancient scouts counting enemy troops, there is also a method for counting wild animal populations.
Ancient scouts needed to count the number of enemy troops through a large amount of data, including the number of flags, drums and horns, stoves, baggage, camp size, etc.
Huoyu counts these reindeer based on density.
For example, how many deer are there per square meter, how many square meters does the entire herd occupy, and then multiply the two to get the approximate number.
After calculation, the final result is obtained.
This is a very large herd of approximately 1,200 reindeer.
This is the first time so many reindeer have appeared in the Arctic.
This large number of deer has great scientific and economic value.
If Huo Yu is willing, he can make a small profit by following them to pick up deer droppings and sell them to the fertilizer factory.
