"I don't know what kind of animal is being simulated this time?"
Now that he had decided to simulate an animal, Zhao Meng did not hesitate and immediately started the simulation.
At this time, the shadow fluctuated,
"Extraction from animals"
"The extraction is over and the simulation is about to enter"
Before Zhao Meng could react, his consciousness came to another world.
At the same time, that pleasant voice appeared in his ears again:
"Week One: You hatch from an egg and you become a pseudo-gynomorph!"
"Pseudo-female! Tasseled Sandpiper!"
Hearing these two unfamiliar terms,
Zhao Meng, who had just emerged from the bird's egg, chirped twice, acting very confused.
He had never heard of such an animal.
"The fringed snipe, could it be said that it is the snipe that wins the fisherman's profit from the competition between the snipe and the clam?"
"So, I should have become a water bird this time!"
Zhao Meng shook his little head. Unfortunately, he could not open his eyes at this time and could only wait for his body to grow.
"In the second week, after being nurtured by the female bird, you grew up healthily and opened your eyes!"
Zhao Meng, who had just opened his eyes, looked at the world.
As birds, their daytime vision is generally better than that of humans.
From this vantage point he saw the abundance of vegetation surrounding him;
And the bird's nest under him is hidden among the plants,
These reed-like plants sway gently with the breeze.
Through the gaps in the plants, you can vaguely see some golden things.
"desert!"
Zhao Meng was a little surprised,
"Is this an oasis in the desert?"
Zhao Meng raised his head and wanted to continue thinking.
But under the warm sunshine, he fell asleep unconsciously,
I do not know how long it has been,
A chirping sound woke him up,
The female bird came back to feed, causing the other chicks in the nest to cry.
Driven by instinct,
Zhao Meng also raised his head and chirped in response, asking for food from the female bird.
While raising his head, he also saw clearly the appearance of the female bird
It was a gray-brown and not very pretty bird,
This bird is holding insects in its mouth and stuffing them into the mouths of the chicks in the nest.
If this is his first simulation,
Faced with this situation, he may feel a little ashamed or even be reserved.
After all, changing from a human to a bird and experiencing the growth process of a bird is still a bit difficult to adapt to.
But after experiencing the last mental shock simulation,
Zhao Meng's acceptance level has improved a lot.
Compared to being a chick, no matter how bad it is, it can still be compared to a hermaphroditic sea hare that needs to lie down to breed offspring.
The fringed snipe looks much more normal than the nudibranch.
"In the third week, after being nurtured by the female bird, you grow up healthily and your feathers gradually become fuller, but at the same time you find that you seem to be different from other chicks!"
Hear the system prompts,
Only then did Zhao Meng realize that he had reached the third week of growth.
And just as the system prompts,
He also discovered a strange place,
Generally speaking, a nest of birds should be similar.
But compared to his other siblings in the same litter, his wings are darker in color.
Regarding this difference, Zhao Meng thought secretly in his heart,
"Is it a gender difference? I don't know what gender I am this time?"
"By the way! The system once reminded me that I am a pseudo-female fringed sandpiper.
Literally speaking, I should be male,
What does the word "quasi-female" mean? "
YangMeng originally thought that his simulation this time would not be worse than Aplysia coeruleus.
But now he had a vague premonition in his heart.
"In the fourth week, when your wings were full, the female bird taught you how to fly and hunt, but you were driven away by the female bird!"
At this time, Zhao Meng was catching bugs in the oasis,
He was not surprised to be chased away by the female bird;
In his previous life, when he was working as a commentator in the Wa Palace, during the off-season travel seasons, when he had nothing to do, besides playing games, he liked to observe animals in the mountains and forests.
Among them, the most observed ones are birds.
Generally speaking, the chicks in the nest will be evicted after they reach sexual maturity.
Even if he is not expelled by the female bird, Zhao Meng will take the initiative to leave the nest. He still wanted to complete this simulation mission,
"Based on the experience of the first simulation, what conditions need to be met for the simulation to be successful?"
YangMeng recalled the situation when he simulated Aplysia last time, and speculated on the conditions for the success of the simulation.
"Is it a successful reproduction? Or is it to survive to the end, or is it to reproduce but also to survive..."
Just when Zhao Meng was thinking about something,
He seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and his instinct drove it to quickly get into the grass nearby.
"In the fifth week, you were chased by a predator. You hid in the grass nearby. Your gray-brown feathers became a protective color. You escaped!"
"In the sixth week, the breeding season is here, and you notice that some fringed sandpipers gather on the small island in the oasis.
Driven by instinct, you flew to the island..."
After this period of life,
Zhao Meng can already identify the male and female fringed sandpipers. As for what the pseudo-female fringed sandpiper means,
When Zhao Mengfei arrived at this gathering place, he also understood the meaning.
Like chickens and peacocks,
Among birds, males are generally better looking than females.
Like roosters and peacocks with their wings spread, they all have beautiful appearances, while females are very ordinary.
As a kind of bird, the fringed snipe also follows this pattern.
During the breeding season, male fringed sandpipers will grow exaggerated fringed red feathers on their necks, while females will have ordinary gray-brown feathers.
Therefore, it is generally possible to identify male and female fringed sandpipers simply by their appearance.
However, in the fringed snipe, this method of determination is somewhat ineffective.
In the Fringed Sandpiper, there is a male bird that disguises itself as a woman, and this is the pseudo-female Fringed Sandpiper.
As for why the male bird pretends to be a female bird,
Zhao Meng initially thought that the male birds were trying to cheat other male birds by using their appearance as female birds.
But he still underestimated the lower limit of the pseudo-female fringed sandpiper.
At this time, Zhao Meng had landed on the small island in the lake.
The male fringed sandpipers on the island are running and fighting for the best breeding territory.
Zhao Meng did not join in, but was observing something.
After a rough inspection, Zhao Meng found that the fringed snipe here was divided into three types.
A handsome male,
They each occupy an area, and as long as other males approach,
Immediately attack with kicks, scratches, pecks, etc. to drive other males away.
And those fringed snipe that cannot occupy territory,
They wander around the territories of other fringed snipe, waiting for opportunities.
As for what the opportunities are?
When a pseudo-female fringed snipe like Zhao Meng lands on the island,
These wandering fringed snipe came up immediately,
But before Zhao Meng could react,
The owner of this territory drove these fringed snipe away,
Then the owner of the territory jumped up and down in front of Zhao Meng, looking very hungry.
Unfortunately, Zhao Meng is a male, and he cannot satisfy the male bird's demands, so he can only continue towards the island.
