Chapter 225 The Little Flying Squirrel is Coming
"Where is the yogurt?" Li Mu asked Brother Nan.
He just looked at his phone and gave netizens some information, and the kitten disappeared.
"I don't know." Brother Nan didn't even look at him, he lowered his head and concentrated on eating rice.
"."
How does this look like you don't know?
It's obvious that I know it, but I don't say it.
It seems that King Nan will not betray another Cat King.
Li Mu shook his head and looked for it himself.
"There's a cat!"
"Run!"
"When did you come?"
Hearing the noise behind him, Li Mu turned around and found that the little flying squirrels who were sitting in a row on the treetops, holding pine nuts and looking at them curiously with wide eyes, suddenly started chirping and screaming.
Then he jumped directly from the big tree, spread his limbs, unfolded the wing membranes under his ribs, and flew towards another big tree more than ten meters away like a small glider.
[Oh my god! This squirrel really has wings! ]
【The little flying squirrel is coming! (laughs)】
[Wow, it's worthy of being called the Cuckoo Bird. The name is really right. All birds can fly (grin)]
[This style, those wing suits for extreme paragliding sports, are inspired by them, right? ]
[Why did it fly away out of nowhere? It looked so scared.]
While netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing the matter, Li Mu was staring at the tree trunk where the flying squirrels were originally.
Sure enough, a cat's head poking out appeared on the tree trunk.
The kitten walked to where the flying squirrels had been originally and squatted down, staring at the flying squirrels that had already flown to another tree with his big eyes without blinking, wondering what he was thinking.
He suddenly turned his head and met Li Mu's gaze.
The cat raised its paw and licked it as if nothing had happened. Then it shook its head, turned around and disappeared into the tree canopy. After a while, it came out of the grass and came back in small steps.
"Has Lord Yogurt been caught?" Li Mu asked knowingly.
"Well"
The cat's eyes flickered a few times, and after thinking for a while, he spoke, "Master Yogurt just went to take a look, he didn't catch them."
"That's it."
"correct."
The cat swung its little paws, walked onto the picnic blanket, and continued to eat the beef in the small bowl.
Li Mu didn't expose her either.
"Nimu, how can mice fly?" After taking a few bites of meat, the cat couldn't help but ask.
"Flying squirrel."
"No rat~"
"To be precise, it's not called flying. It's using the wing membrane to glide with the help of the wind in the air."
"Can't understand."
"Mr. Yogurt, you will understand if you read more books." Li Mu smiled and continued eating.
The cat turned his head and looked at the flying squirrel again.
Although these flying squirrels are timid, they are very curious. Perhaps it is because the cat didn't catch them just now, which gave them confidence and they are still peeking.
Little did the cat know that he was already planning to bring the little golden eagle with him next time.
After dinner, Brother Nan leaned against a tree to rest. Li Mu turned on the kettle and poured half a bowl of water into the small bowl dedicated to yogurt.
The cat was lying on the picnic blanket, staring at the flying squirrel. When it heard the sound of water being poured, it glanced at it from the side and quickly looked away, pretending not to know.
"Master Yogurt has had some water."
"."
"Mr. Yogurt, please drink some water."
"."
"You need to drink more water. We still have to patrol the forest and walk a lot."
"."
The cat turned its head to look at the small bowl, then at Li Mu, and seemed to feel that it could no longer hide by pretending, so it slowly got up, frowned, walked to the small bowl, and began to lick it.
She suddenly envied humans. Humans only needed to pick up the bowl and drink it in two gulps, unlike cats, which licked the water for a long time but didn't drink much.
But her own Nimu likes to ask her to drink water, which is really annoying.
Li Mu looked at the cat's frown and shook his head. He wondered if all children in the world were so reluctant to drink water.
[Flying squirrels are so cute. I saw one when I went to the pet market before. I must buy one to keep as a pet next time I go.]
[It looks really cool when flying. If it is trained well, it will be very cool to take it out! ]
[Are flying squirrels also called sugar gliders? My friend has one, and it's really cute. ]
"No, flying squirrels are not sugar gliders."
Li Mu looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and decided to give netizens a detailed scientific explanation, "Sugar gliders are also named after the word 鼯, and they all have wing membranes, so people would naturally think that they are a kind of flying squirrel.
"But that's not the case. Sugar gliders are marsupials, and they are completely different species from flying squirrels. It's just that due to convergent evolution, they both have the ability to glide in the air."
"There is another mammal that can glide in the air, called the flying monkey, which belongs to the family of flying monkeys. It has a stronger gliding ability and is known as one of the three giants in the gliding world along with flying squirrels and sugar gliders."
[Tsk, I didn't expect a flying squirrel to have so many tricks. ]
[They are not the same species? Then flying squirrels are not protected animals, right? I saw some for sale in the market? ]
"Most of the ones you see in the market are probably sugar gliders, and some are previously farmed flying squirrels."
Li Mu glanced at Nan Ge and found that she was also listening attentively, so he slowed down his speech: "Just to remind everyone, there are many species of flying squirrels in the world, and there are three species unique to Dragon Country, namely, the compound-toothed flying squirrel, the groove-toothed flying squirrel, and the low-bubble flying squirrel.
"They were included in the List of Terrestrial Wildlife with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values last year, in 2023. If you want to keep this kind of pet, please be careful to distinguish them."
[Another third-level protected animal? 】
[Is there a reward for reporting? I reported my friend right away (sly smile)]
[The person above, your friend is so lucky! ]
"Your friend has a sugar glider, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Sugar gliders are not protected animals, they are a species from Australia and are considered alien species in Dragon Country.
"You can tell them apart by their appearance. Sugar gliders usually have blue-grey fur, but some have mosaic or pure white fur. They have big round eyes and thin, pointed ears. They are not as big as flying squirrels. The trunk of an adult is about 13 centimeters long. They are small and easy to play with."
"When a flying squirrel grows up, its trunk is about 25 centimeters long, and its tail is almost as long as its body. When its flying membrane is not open, it looks like a squirrel, with gray-brown or brown hair on its back and gray-white belly. The hair on the back of its four legs is orange-red, and its head is short and round.
"By the way, the feces and urine of flying squirrels in my country can be used as medicine. Have you heard of Wulingzhi? It is the dried feces of flying squirrels. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and can stop bleeding when fried into charcoal. Sugar gliders can only be kept as pets. So far, no medicinal value has been found for them."
"Those ones on the tree are flying squirrels." Li Mu pointed the camera at the treetops in the distance and zoomed in.
[Aren’t sugar gliders protected animals? Lost the prize money (dog head)]
[Ah? Animals will be listed as protected animals in 2023, so is it okay for me to buy and raise them before? ]
[If you have any questions, send a package to the brothers, otherwise I will take a screenshot and report you (smirk)]
"Just take good care of what you bought before." Li Mu said. This was the only hint he could give.
Thanks to Zuimengyunxusuiyu for the monthly ticket! Thanks to the monthly ticket of the name is not easy to come up with!
