Yang Jing, who returned to the Blue Whale, and after sleeping for a while, reappeared on the streets of Longyearbyen City with Dabai.
This time, however, there was one more man in their team, a Russian-Norwegian man who had lived in Longyearbyen's for more than twenty years, and was a tour guide hired by Captain Andrey.
Since there are still more than ten hours to go, it is necessary to take this opportunity to take a good tour of Longyearbyen.
Therefore, Mikikamsonov, who is familiar with the local situation, appeared.
Although Longyearbyen's population is small, it is not small.
In fact, the buildings here are scattered, and the presence of valleys and coasts gives the town a T-shaped layout as a whole.
"We have our own airport and marina, so there are still a lot of tourists who come here every year."
Walking down the streets of Longyearbyen, Mickey began to make an introduction.
After getting to know each other, the Norwegian of Russian origin quickly stepped into his own role.
Gege pointed to a warning sign on the side of the road and asked, "Why is this warning sign like this?"
How did you draw a polar bear on it?
” Mickey, who speaks fluent English, laughs, "It's a reminder to be careful of polar bears."
There are only 1,800 people in our small city, but there are more than 5,000 polar bears living in the vicinity of the small city.
Here, there are more bears than people, so instead of warning people to watch out for vehicles, the warning signs here are on the lookout for polar bears. ” After a pause, Miki said in an extremely strange tone: "Bear coarsely grinding, filial piety!"
” Gege laughed, "It's the bear that is careful, right?"
” "That's right!
Right!
That's what it means.
Mikey laughed too, "I learned this from your compatriots, but your Chinese is so difficult to learn, I have been learning for a long time before I can speak a few simple Chinese words." ” Yang Jing saw that Miki was still carrying a gun, so he asked curiously, "Is there no gun here?"
You came out with a gun so swaggering, don't the police care?
” Miki shook his head, "Our residents here are required to carry guns when they go out, which means that they are forced to carry guns.
This is not to say that the security situation in the small town is bad, on the contrary, the security situation here is much better than that in most parts of the world.
It's just that we have too many polar bears here, and we need this kind of thing to save lives in a critical moment. ” Mikey took off his gun, Yang Jing's eyes lit up when he looked at this gun, and he whistled and said: "This is a good gun, Mauser Type 98 shotgun, this gun is old." ” Miki smiled, "Yang, your vision is very good.
This gun was passed on to my father by my grandfather, and later to me by my father.
This gun is more than 70 years old, and after World War II, my grandfather came here with this gun. ” "Actually, as tourists, according to the requirements of the small town, you should be trained, mainly to train you how to deal with polar bears.
But I don't think you need to be trained.
You've got a mighty wild polar bear by your side.
Oh my god, I saw NRK live yesterday, this big guy is so powerful, a roar almost scared Jenny out of the way" Da Bai looked up at the two-legged monster, shook his head, and his eyes glanced at the side of the road not far away, and a low roar came out of his throat.
Da Bai's sudden change made Yang Jing shocked, he could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from Da Bai's body, and even more could feel Da Bai's thoughts at this time - Lao Paper was going to slaughter the little cub!
Yang Jing hurriedly followed Dabai's line of sight and found that at the door of a house not far from him, an old man was holding a blue basin to feed a cub bear, it should be feeding water, a cub of this size is still feeding, and will not eat other food.
Seeing the little bear cub, Yang Jing realized why Da Bai wanted to slaughter this little bear cub.
This is the nature of polar bears, or adult male polar bears.
Polar bears are polygamous, and male polar bears can find several "wives" to mate with when spring comes.
However, the female polar bear's sunny period is only a short day, so during this time, the male polar bear must hurry up to mate, otherwise it will be too late.
However, there are many female polar bears with cubs at this time, and if the female polar bear has cubs, then the female polar bear will not mate with the male polar bear.
At such times, the male polar bear usually kills the cubs so that they can have a happy sex with the female polar bear.
In other words, it is a natural thing for an adult male polar bear to kill someone else's child and then let the female bear give birth to her own child.
Even when they are no longer mating, adult males kill their cubs.
Da Bai is an adult male polar bear, and when he sees a cub, he naturally can't help but want to bite the little guy to death.
Yang Jing patted Da Bai's head and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Don't just want to stir up trouble at every turn.
Is it good to pay attention to your image?
” Da Bai understood what Yang Jing meant, raised his head and rubbed Yang Jing with his head, and didn't pay attention to the little bear cub anymore.
However, Yang Jing is also very curious, such a size of bear cubs should be by the mother bear's side, how can the mother bear let her cubs leave her side.
While he was pondering, a fat big white bear came leisurely from the back of the house, and the little bear cub immediately ran over, and it was obvious that this bear was the mother bear cub of the bear.

When the old man who was feeding the cub saw the she-bear appear, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled on his face, turned around and took out a piece of thawed meat from behind him, and threw it directly to the she-bear.
Because of Dabai, Gege and his group also saw this scene, and Miki smiled: "It turned out to be Binnie." ” Gege asked curiously, "Binny?"
Sounds like a girl's name.
Mr.
Kamsonov, is Binnie the she-bear?
” "Just call me Mikey.
That's right, Binnie is the name our town gave to this she-bear.
Speaking of which, our whole town is thankful for Binnie. ” Hearing Mikey say this, the group was interested.
Mikey didn't go any further, and the group just stood on the side of the street, watching the she-bear happily eat meat, while listening to Mikey's story.
"Mickey came to our town the previous spring.
As you know, there are a large number of polar bears living around Longyearbyen, and they mainly depend on preying on seals for their livelihood.
However, the previous year's temperature was much higher than usual, which caused the ice floes in the bay to become very scarce.
Without the ice floe, the seals would not rest on the ice floe, so polar bears would not be able to raid the seals that stayed on the ice floe from the sea. ” These Yang Jing understands that since he met Dabai, he has studied polar bears a lot.
Although polar bears are the top predators in the Arctic Circle, 70% of their food is seals, so seals play an irreplaceable role in the polar bear's diet.
Seals don't usually come up on land, and seals usually rest on ice floe.
This allows polar bears to swim and dive close to the ice floes where seals rest, and then take the opportunity to jump up to the ice floes to hunt seals.
If the seals are alert enough to enter the water early, then the polar bears will lose their rations.
In fact, polar bears only have about 3 to 5 success rates in hunting seals.
Such a low predation rate means that polar bears need to start hunting seals at the beginning of spring if they want to eat enough and have enough energy to accumulate enough fat in the summer to resist the cold of winter.
Because the fat contained in seals is essential for polar bears to survive the winter.
But if the spring temperature is too high, the ice floes will melt quickly, so the seals will not rest on the ice floes, and the end result will be starving the polar bears that feed on the seals.
If polar bears don't get enough fat before the end of summer, there's a good chance they'll freeze and starve to death in the winter.
Sure enough, Mikey's next account confirmed Yang Jing's guess.
"Because of the high temperature that spring, the polar bears living near Longyearbyen City were extremely short of food, and many polar bears had to leave Longyearbyen to forage elsewhere, but there were also some hungry polar bears who took the initiative to attack humans."
"That summer, twelve children from Oslo went out to see polar bears up close, led by Oslo Sr.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, old Oss is the old man.
Mickey gestured to the old man who had been feeding the cub the bear.
"We in Longyearbyen have a special tour to see polar bears up close on a modified snowmobile.
That summer, a summer camp from Oslo came with 12 children between the ages of eight and 11.
Old Oss himself had a modified snowmobile, the kind that used tires to move forward, not on a sled.
Old Oss had done this work a thousand times, and each time it was dangerous, and that time, when they reached the shore, they were besieged by five adult polar bears.
As it happens, Old Oss's radio broke down again, so he couldn't use the radio to call for help. ” At this time, Binnie appeared, and the good girl did not come forward to fight the hungry polar bears, but ran back to the city, and after shouting loudly in the city, attracting the attention of many people, she led the men to the place where Old Oss had been attacked.
At first, some people tried to shoot Binnie, but fortunately someone saw that something seemed wrong with Binnie, so they followed Binnie there, and finally killed three polar bears attacking Old Oss, scared two away, and rescued Old Oss and the twelve children. ” Although Micky spoke quite plainly, everyone was terrified.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to be attacked by five hungry polar bears.
Unless it is a stranded whale such as a sperm whale and dies, otherwise it would be difficult for polar bears to gather together to eat.
But once the polar bears gather together to eat, it means that the polar bears are extremely hungry.
This polar bear is the most dangerous.
