Five hundred and thirty-three: The poacher’s stronghold was discovered

Cavell had never considered that poaching still exists in national parks. After all, it is common around the world. This is why his team needs to seek help from experienced rangers like Tharp in case of emergency.

Cavill's first concern was Liu Wei. After all, Liu Wei was not included in his team.

He turned around and asked, "Liu, did you hear our conversation clearly?"

Liu Wei nodded.

"Are you afraid? My brother!"

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, "In Thailand, I also survived being shot!"

Cavill admired Liu Wei's courage very much and patted him on the shoulder, "OK, let's go! Guys!"

Sapp led the way with his old brothers, not long after walking out of the village.

Kayak along the main river to look for rhinos.

Liu Wei explained, "Brothers, I have mentioned to you several times that it is the dry season. Almost all animals like to live near water sources, not to mention rhinos. I told you before when I took you to observe Indian rhinos. The only thing that must be done is to take a shower.

Cavell and the others are right in their search, but the number of Javan rhinoceros is really too small. Whether you can encounter one or not depends on luck! "

The kayak's hook stirred the river water and moved forward. After reaching an area with dense vegetation, the ranger turned off the hook and relied on the thrust of the water flow and his hands to slide the kayak.

Although Javan rhinos have poor eyesight, their hearing and sense of smell are very keen, and the sound made by the kayak can easily disturb them.

Cavell sat on the right front of the kayak and watched the movements in the water on both sides of the river.

At this time, the cameraman can only use the lens to take pictures of the surrounding scenery or the birds flying in the trees.

A common technique used in BBC documentaries is to use scenery and other creatures to make up for the duration.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

When everyone is immersed in the scenery.

Tharp suddenly whispered.

He stared ahead.

Liu Wei followed his vision and looked out.

Under a clump of bamboo hanging on the shore, a little water ripple appeared on the river.

"Brothers, we have discovered something!" Liu Wei took the photo. Because of the glare of the sun, he could not identify the creatures in the water for the time being.

Sapp is the person most familiar with this rainforest and the activities of rhinos. He is considered a practical expert.

Liu Wei believed in Sapp's judgment.

Cavill lowered his body and stared straight ahead.

The ripples on the water became wider and wider.

Suddenly, a huge rhino emerged from the water.

It is covered in heavy armor and has thick limbs. From a distance, it looks similar to the size of an Indian rhinoceros.

The Javan rhinoceros is actually a smaller subspecies than the Indian rhinoceros.

Saw a rhino make an appearance.

The people on the kayak became excited, and the audience watching the live broadcast also responded to the scene with comments.

Even though the people in the kayak were trying their best to suppress their excitement to avoid disturbing the rhino.

But the rhino still felt the approach of humans and became uneasy.

After it emerged from the water, it didn't even look back at Liu Wei and the others. It took a few big steps and jumped into the dense grass on the shore.

The body rubbed against the grass, making a "shushing" sound, and ran away quickly.

"What a pity, I just saw it once!" Cavill turned back and said to the cameraman, who nodded with the same regretful expression.

Sapp smiled and said, "There is still a chance to meet him!"

He has an intuition that comes from the rainforest, which is based on his sufficient understanding of the rainforest.

Liu Wei looked at the barrage on the live broadcast mobile phone. At this time, the audience had a question.

Why does the rhinoceros run?

Looks like very timid.

They couldn't help but be reminded of the Indian rhino they encountered in the Kaziranga National Forest Park in India.

At that time, the Indian rhinoceros behaved very recklessly and almost collided with the staff of the rescue center. Liu Wei also mentioned that the Indian rhinoceros is so ferocious that it has no other rivals except wild Asian elephants.

However, the Javan rhinoceros we saw today looks the same as the Indian rhinoceros in shape and appearance. Why is there such a big difference in temperament?

Some viewers speculated that it might be the fear left by poachers that prompted them to hide when they saw humans.

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Brothers, your guess has some truth, but it is not the root cause. In fact, the Javan rhinoceros is timid and easily frightened, just like its first reaction after discovering us. Just run away, it thinks this is the safest thing in its mind.

Only in extreme circumstances will the Javan rhinoceros become defensive and use its sharp fangs to resist.

In terms of temperament, it can be said that it is completely opposite to its close relative, the Indian rhinoceros. The Indian rhinoceros is naturally aggressive. If we just encountered an Indian rhinoceros, maybe it would rush directly towards us. At that time, only the ranger would shoot in the air to scare it. It is possible for it to leave. "

"I see!"

“The Javan rhinoceros has a personality that is easily bullied!”

"That's why the poachers went to hunt it!"

"Brother Niu, no! You have to be more aggressive! You're so big, I'm scared of you!"

"It's not chicken feathers it's afraid of, it's guns!"

The kayak stopped at the spot where the rhinoceros had just taken a bath. The water was still a little turbid, and the grass on the shore had been trampled by it to create a new path.

Cavill suggested, "We can follow its footsteps and go up there to have a look. Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Wei "It's a good idea, but the rainforest environment is complicated and its footprints may disappear at any time!"

"Go up and have a look!" Sapp said after listening to the conversation between Liu Wei and Cavell.

He has the confidence to discover smaller things in familiar surroundings.

Two people were left to look after the kayaks.

Liu Wei followed Sapp ashore.

Sapp opened the way with a cleaver in his hand.

Just as Liu Wei expected, not long after emerging from the grass, the rhino's footprints were no longer visible.

Cavill feels bad.

But Tharp, with his wealth of experience, discovered something else.

"Here here!"

He explored the path ahead, standing on a high rock and waving to Liu Wei and the others.

Cavell thought he had discovered a rhinoceros and urged the cameraman to hurry up and rush over.

Only Liu Wei was relatively calm and followed slowly.

If it were really a rhinoceros, Sapp would not have screamed. The rhinoceros could have heard even the smallest sound from the kayak just now. Not to mention that Sapp could let go of his throat and scream now. If there was a rhinoceros, he would have run away.

Cavill may have been too much looking forward to it, so he didn’t think about it carefully and just wanted to photograph the rhinoceros quickly.

The look just now was like a very sweet candy that he licked, satisfying his taste.

Go up high.

Cavell noticed that there was no rhinoceros, so he pointed to a simple hay shed in front of him and asked, "What is this place for?"

Sapp analyzed, "Poachers will set up temporary shelters in advance, and then follow the rhinos to find the best opportunity to kill them. The rhino's vitality is very tenacious, and it is difficult to kill it with one shot. Ordinary guns cannot kill it with several shots. Poachers won’t shoot without full confidence because they know we are patrolling the rainforest!”

As Sapp said, he chopped down the shed built by the poachers with a cleaver, "Maybe this is just a stronghold they have in the rainforest, or maybe they have already succeeded!"
