Chapter 86 Nature’s Strongest Architect, the Cute Otter (25)

"Fuck, this is impossible, what's going on? I didn't watch the live broadcast for a whole night, how come the water has decreased so much?"

"Which wicked fellow brought a water pump here in the middle of the night?"

Netizens are really angry. They are still waiting to see the Saury salmon give birth. If the water dries up, won’t the mother fish die?
"Damn it, this is so infuriating. Who did this? Brother Su, you must find the culprit. This is so outrageous!"

Everyone was filled with indignation, and Su Ran didn't even know what was going on.

He took a last look at the foot of the mountain at three o'clock in the morning, then fell asleep because he was too tired.

I excitedly turned on the live broadcast at seven in the morning, and as soon as I came over, I found that the water in the stream was almost half gone.

Now the salmon has swum to a position slightly above the riverbed where the water level is higher.

When Su Ran looked towards the forest, there was no stream flowing downstream in the entire upstream area.

"Someone must have blocked the river source upstream." Su Ran came to the conclusion instantly.

"Ah, who is so bad? Instead of working late at night, he ran upstream to block the river. Do you think you are Dayu?"

"It must be some bored guy in the live studio who can't stand seeing Brother Su doing well."

Su Ran didn't think that anyone would do this on purpose.

"If we want to find out the truth, we have to follow the riverbed and check what happened at the source upstream."

The audience supported Su Ran's decision very much. Su Ran didn't even plan to have breakfast early in the morning, and went straight into the mountains with Dahei, who was still sleepy.

The old man who had just gotten up looked at the two figures walking up the mountain and couldn't help but sighed: "This kid is really working too hard."

There is a different kind of beauty in the early morning of spring in Linhai.

It's like being covered by a layer of gauze, waiting for the first ray of sunshine.

Occasionally, you can see dewdrops glittering on the tips of leaves, like pearls inlaid on green fabric.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and plants, which makes people feel refreshed.

Although they were not able to be there, netizens were extremely fascinated by it.

Logically speaking, on such a beautiful morning, Su Ran should be calm, slow down and enjoy this rare tranquility.

But who made him angry?

He was on fire every time he walked.

"It seems that although Brother Su said he didn't care, he was still very angry inside."

"Don't mention Brother Su. If anyone ruins my fishing business, I will kill him with a knife."

Dahei, who was following behind Su Ran, was so angry that he kept humming. Dahei was very loyal. He walked in front and started to gather information for Su Ran from a long distance away.

At this moment, Dahei also arrived at the upstream source of the river. It seemed to have discovered something near the river and was about to howl.

Su Ran quickly stopped him.

"Shh, let's see what's going on first."

After Su Ran and the big black cat reached a hillside, Mantou also poked his head out of Su Ran's arms and stared at them curiously.

The camera looked towards a clear blue lake. There were not many large lakes in the forest, but there were still a few.

Looking from afar, Su Ran saw that there seemed to be something in the lake. He took out a drone from his backpack and flew it above the lake.

As the camera zoomed in, netizens were instantly touched by the cuteness of the otter lying on its back.

"Hahaha, this is so cute."

“Is this a sea otter?”

"There are no sea otters in the lake. This is a beaver!"

Seeing the comments from netizens, Su Ran was confused: "None of you are right, this is an otter!"

I can't tell the difference between an otter, a beaver, and a sea otter.

However, the first two are still easy to distinguish: "The biggest difference between beavers and otters is that beavers are aquatic rodents, while otters belong to the family Mustelidae in the order Carnivora."

Mustelidae?

After all, they have been in Su Ran's live broadcast room for so long that netizens have seen many small animals. They remember that weasels are members of the Mustelidae family, right? "What is the relationship between weasels and otters? Could it be that the two are..."

"Yes, they are close relatives," Su Ran answered in advance, "Otters belong to the subfamily Lutrinae of the family Mustelidae in the order Carnivora, and are closely related to weasels. The two also look very similar."

Compared to weasels, baby otters, a close relative of the Mustelidae family, are obviously more popular among netizens.

Because otters are very cute.

Who can resist an otter with a round head, small ears, cute big eyes, and a furry body that looks like a big fur ball?

And the otter's behavior is also very cute.

While playing in the water, it would occasionally look up at its surroundings, making people want to touch its soft fur.

Especially when the otter grabbed its tail with its front paws, this behavior was so cute that it made many netizens fall in love with it.

At this time, a little beautiful otter swam over from the water. After its little head floated out of the water, it lay on its back next to Xiao Shuai.

The two little guys grabbed each other's hands.

Suddenly Xiao Shuai noticed the drone above his head. Thinking he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes with his short hands.

I noticed that the drone hanging above my head actually moved.

clam?
The otter's eyes are like big question marks.

What is this?

This river bully let out a whimpering sound.

It directly captured the hearts of many female viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Baby, it can actually whimper, so cute."

"Yingying monster, look at the sword!"

Otters have gained a large number of fans with their cuteness. Under the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds, the two little guys are resting leisurely.

Su Ran said at this time: "If you think they are cute, you are wrong. As true carnivores, don't be fooled by their cute appearance."

"Otters are also well-known for their ferocious character among mustelids."

"Not only can they easily catch fish in the water, they also dare to compete with larger opponents. Someone once filmed the amazing scene of an otter biting a small crocodile in the water!"

Su Ran’s words were not completely groundless, because otters have a special nickname - the flat-headed brother in the water!

Isn’t the flat-headed brother awesome?

He is against everything, including heaven, earth and air. He will overthrow everything if he doesn't accept his fate.

The flathead brother in the water is naturally not bad either!

However, appearance trumps all else. It’s really hard to feel scared of such a cute creature.

But the problem is that Su Ran is not happy now.

Because as the drone flew over the lake, the narrow river source in the front was blocked by a dam.

It is because of the blockage here that there is a lack of water downstream.

The culprit, the otter, keeps adding branches and water plants to the dam to reinforce their work!
Through the high-altitude shots taken by drones, the audience could clearly see the dam blocking the downstream.

The audience was very surprised that the dam made of a pile of wood was built by a small creature like an otter.

"My goodness, this is a big project."

"Good fellow, nature's architect, eh?"

"That's amazing! If it weren't for Brother Su, I would never have the chance to see the process of otters building a dam in my life."

The most primitive process of otters building dams is itself very rare, especially for humans who want to witness it with their own eyes.

However, thanks to Su Ran's record, netizens were finally fortunate enough to participate in it.

They found it magical and interesting.
