    The exodus of venomous snakes is not only a problem that occurred in Li Guozhu's breeding, but also involves a key point, that is, why they are concentrated in Yuan Benchu's ranch. You must know that the village where Li Guozhu is captive is at least five or six kilometers away from the Cornucopia Ranch. Logically speaking,  It is said that hungry poisonous snakes should be looking for livestock nearby, so why would they come all the way to the pasture?  With the physical strength of a poisonous snake, it is indeed not easy to crawl five or six kilometers.

    Is there any unknown inside story?  When Yuan Benchu ??thought of this, he immediately thought of a possibility, that is, it might be the scent of the earthly dragon that remained in him that attracted these poisonous snakes.

    Only this explanation can explain clearly why the poisonous snake came here, but since the matter has been resolved, Yuan Benchu ??does not want to delve deeper.  The matter of the roaming poisonous snakes disrupting the pasture has been settled, and after Yuan Benchu's instructions, no one leaked it out, and the orderly pasture returned to peace again.

    Yuan Benchu ??likes to find something to do. After living a leisurely life for a long time, people will become slack. Therefore, Yuan Benchu ??considered that he was almost knocked down by a Mongolian man in the north and that his own physical strength could not bear such a large amount of consumption when surviving in the wild.  Therefore, during this period of time, in addition to wearing the red dragon armor that weighed about fifty kilograms as soon as he entered the space, he also implemented a relatively intensive physical training method in the real space.

    The reference is the relatively reliable special forces training method on the Internet. Of course, all projects are constantly increasing, which is also testing Yuan Benchu's perseverance.

    And this kind of exercise lasted for half a year.  During this period, Yuan Benchu ??made a special trip to New Zealand to inspect local dairy companies. In fact, many mainland companies have gone to New Zealand to set up branches. After being affiliated here and selling the New Zealand milk brand, sales and prices immediately doubled. This way  Many people don't know the inside story. Of course, Yuan Benchu ??had no intention of being affiliated with New Zealand's milk source. He just came to experience the scenery of New Zealand and test the results of this period on an uninhabited island.

    New Zealand became a self-governing British colony in 1856, an autonomous region in 1907, and fully independent in 1947.

    In the tenth century AD, Polynesian navigators from the Cook Islands and Tahiti came to New Zealand in canoes.  By the twelfth century AD, there were many settlements in favored areas of the country; in 1642, the Dutch navigator Abel?  Jansson?  Tasman discovered the west coast of New Zealand in 1642 during an ocean adventure, but was attacked by Maori when he attempted to land and left quickly. However, he named the land (Nieuw Zealand) after a region in the Netherlands. He drew  Map of part of the west coast area, but did not land here; in 1769, British Navy Captain James?  Cook and his crew became the first Europeans to set foot on New Zealand. Later, seal and whale fishermen also came here. Missionaries soon followed, and settlements began to be gradually established.

    By 1840, New Zealand had an estimated M¨¡ori population of 100,000, with approximately 2,000 European settlers (called Pakeha by M¨¡ori, Pakeha) scattered along the coast. New Zealand had no national government or national leader, and M¨¡ori and Pakeha groups requested  The British provided certain protection as well as law and order; on 6 February 1840, Maori and the British Crown signed the Treaty of Waitangi in the town of Waitangi in the Bay of Islands, which made New Zealand a colony of the Crown.  This treaty is considered New Zealand's founding document. The treaty gave early settlers the right to settle in New Zealand and promised Maori to continue to own their land, forests and fisheries as they wished. The treaty stated that Maori would control the land and way of life themselves.  made a decision and promised to establish a government to enable all people to live a life of peace and law. The treaty also established that New Zealanders enjoy the rights of British citizens. The treaty is still a "current document" and is a very important aspect of ethnic relations in New Zealand.  controversial topic.  After the treaty was signed, more people began to settle here, most of them in the southern islands, where the land was suitable for farming and gold mines were discovered in Otago and the west coast.

    Since this century, more people have come to live in the North Island than in the south. By the 1880s, the national population increased to 200,000, and railways and roads began to be built. The settlers established farms that have become the backbone of the New Zealand economy. In 1893  , New Zealand became the first country to grant women the right to vote. At that time, Britain was still an important part of New Zealand culture and was often referred to as "home". Thousands of New Zealanders represented Britain in World War I, and by 1918  In 2001, half of the combatants died or were wounded in the war.  In 1935, the New Zealand Labor Party government was elected, which implemented a series of social reforms, including a 40-hour work week and a state-funded health and welfare system. After the start of World War II, New Zealand again sent troops, approx.  Ten percent of the country's population went abroad to fight. After the war, demand for New Zealand's agricultural products increased. In the 1950s, full employment grew rapidly and industry prospered like never before.New Zealand's economy began to deteriorate in the 1970s and 1980s due to its long-term dependence on imports (especially oil) and exports of meat, dairy products and wool. In the early 1970s, after the United Kingdom joined the European Community, New Zealand lost its traditional exports.  market, followed by unemployment and social problems; in the mid-to-late 1980s, the Labor government began to carry out large-scale reforms such as new monetary policies, industrial lifting of restrictions, the elimination of subsidies, and the privatization of many government departments. Since then, the economy has gradually improved.  Unemployment numbers are starting to fall.

    The well-developed animal husbandry industry is the foundation of New Zealand's economy. New Zealand's agricultural and animal husbandry product exports account for 50% of its total exports, and its exports of mutton, dairy products and coarse wool rank first in the world.  New Zealand is also the world's largest producer and exporter of velvet antler, accounting for 30% of the world's total.  The land used for animal husbandry is 13.52 million hectares, accounting for half of the country's land area.  Dairy products and meat are the new most important export products.  New Zealand is rich in fishery products and has the fourth largest exclusive economic zone in the world. The fishing potential within the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone is about 500,000 tons per year.

    Agriculture is highly mechanized.  The main crops include wheat, barley, oats, fruits, etc.  We cannot be self-sufficient in food and need to import it from Australia.

    ?Mainly engaged in the processing of agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry products, including light industries such as dairy products, blankets, food, winemaking, leather, tobacco, papermaking and wood processing, the products are mainly for export.  In addition to the main industries of food processing (meat and dairy) and industry, New Zealand's competitiveness in food processing technology, telecommunications, plastics, textiles, forestry products, electronics, mountaineering supplies and clothing is also becoming increasingly strong.  Businesses in specialty lifestyle products, such as sailboats, are also growing rapidly.  The various companies on New Zealand's stock index NZX reflect these industries.  Food processing, wood and paper products, textiles, machinery, transportation equipment, banking and insurance, tourism, mining

    The most beautiful place in New Zealand is the Bay of Islands, where the main cities are: Paihia, Russell and Waitangi.  Russell is New Zealand's first capital, Paihia, located in the middle of the Bay of Islands and has more hotels.  Waitangi, in 1840, Maori and Europeans signed the Treaty of Waitangi at Treaty House.  The house still stands today in a large, peaceful park.  Other important attractions here include the Maori Meeting House, the largest Maori war boat, the tourist center and the art gallery.  Waitangi occupies an extremely important position in the hearts of New Zealanders - it is a "must visit" for tourists interested in New Zealand's history and culture.

    New Zealanders shake hands when meeting and saying goodbye. The customary way of shaking hands is to shake hands tightly and make direct eye contact. Men should wait for women to extend their hands first.  Bowing and holding the head high are also common etiquette among them.  When meeting for the first time, people with the same status call each other by their last names, and add "Mr.", "Miss", etc. After getting acquainted, they call each other by their first names.

    Having a strong sense of time, appointments must be agreed upon in advance and be on time.  Guests can show respect to the host by arriving a few minutes early.  The conversation should focus on climate, sports, domestic and foreign politics, tourism, etc., and avoid talking about personal affairs, religion, race and other issues.  Meetings with guests are usually held in the office.  If you are invited to a New Zealander's home, you can give the male host a box of chocolates or a bottle of whiskey, and the female host a bouquet of flowers.  Gifts should not be excessive or expensive.

    Most of the local residents are descendants of the British. Therefore, many British body language and gesture customs are spread here.  They resent loud noises and excessive posturing.  Chewing gum or using a toothpick in public is considered uncivilized behavior.  New Zealanders eat in the continental European style, which is to always hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.

    The pace of life of New Zealanders is relatively slow and people¡¯s lives are relatively leisurely.  The open market and rich products give people of different classes a lot of room for choice. However, in terms of overall consumption level, New Zealanders pursue high-end products and tend to shop at famous brands and fashionable products.

    New Zealanders are reserved. Even when they watch movies, they tend to watch them in separate scenes for men and women.  There are strict restrictions on alcohol. Restaurants that are licensed to sell alcohol can only sell wine. In restaurants that can sell hard liquor, customers must buy a meal before they are allowed to have a drink.  However, beer sales volume is quite large, ranking fifth in the world, with an average person drinking 110 liters of beer per year.

    I have been touring towns in New Zealand. Although I don¡¯t speak the local language, I still live well. There are still a lot of international students here. They sometimes work part-time as translators, which provides a lot of convenience for tourists like Yuan Benchu.

    Yuan Benchu ??also saw the kiwi bird, also known as the kiwi bird, here.

    The average size of the kiwi is similar to that of the common big rooster. The difference is that the brown kiwi and the great spotted kiwi are slightly larger, reaching about 35 cm and weighing more than 2000 grams; the small spotted kiwi is smaller,  The body is only about 25 centimeters and weighs about 1200 grams.  The three types of kiwi [1] are similar in appearance and are the most primitive birds among snipe birds.  The head of the kiwi is very small, and the body is shaped like a pear. It does not have the hard outline feathers of ordinary birds. The whole body is covered with fluffy and fine feathers, and the feathers are soft without feathers.  It looks like a big hairy ball.  There is no feather shaft in the center of ordinary bird feathers, only some weak barbs, so it is filamentous like animal hair.  Their fur color is mainly yellowish brown, with dark gray and light horizontal spots, and their belly fur is lighter with dark brown stripes.  Kiwi feathers have a good thermal insulation effect.  The vestigial wings are covered with feathers, and there are no wings or tail feathers, so it cannot fly.  The legs are short and strong, and they are good at running and can reach speeds of 10 miles per hour.  The kiwi's beak is pointed and slender, about 10 centimeters long, with cat-like whiskers at the base of the beak; the nostrils are on the long and bendable tip of the beak rather than at the base of the beak;

    The eyes are small and the daytime vision is insufficient; the ear holes are large and well-developed, and there are long whiskers at the base of the mouth (which may be tactile).  The neck is short and the ears are highly sensitive and well developed.  Sexual dimorphism occurs, with the female bird being much larger, with a difference of more than 1 kilogram.  The biggest difference from most other birds is that they cannot fly and can only walk on the ground.  Their legs are located behind the body, short and thick, with strong and muscular legs; all four toes have large claws.  It has a strong tarsometatarsus, and the front and rear edges of the tarsometatarsus also have hexagonal horny scales.  The feet have 4 small and flat toes, 3 toes facing forward and 1 toe facing backward. Each toe has sharp claws to facilitate digging in the land and looking for food.

    Kiwis live in caves, and the nests cannot be used until several weeks after they are dug. This is to allow moss and natural vegetation to re-grow for camouflage.  A pair of great spotted kiwis may dig up to 100 burrows in their territory for shelter, often changing residences every day.  They do not leave their burrows during the day except in dangerous situations.  They usually come out of their caves at night.  The feeding time takes place about 30 minutes after the sun sets.  It mainly eats insects, snails, spiders, worms, and shrimps. It can even eat small lizards and mice, as well as fruits and berries that fall on the ground.  The kiwi's nostrils are not at the base of the bird's beak like a thrush or swallow, but at the tip of its mouth. Its sense of smell is very good. It can smell bugs more than ten centimeters underground and then dig them up with its claws or mouth.  Come out and eat.  In addition, its mouth has an unexpected function - when it needs to rest, its mouth can be used as a third leg, like a tripod, to prop up the body, making it easy and stable.

    The kiwi has a keen sense of smell, poor vision, and small eyes. There are reports that there have been interesting incidents in the zoo of kiwis running into fences while walking in broad daylight.  Wild kiwis inhabit forests and bushes. They like to live in groups. They stay out at night and are docile and curious. If the doors of local residents are not closed properly, kiwis may sneak into their homes at night.  Take away keys and spoons as toys.

    The kiwi¡¯s eyes cannot be exposed to sunlight, otherwise they will go blind!

    The kiwi is also a rare bird unique to New Zealand. Kiwis are everywhere in the lives of New Zealanders. There are banks named kiwis. The portrait of Queen Elizabeth of England is printed on one side of New Zealand's two-cent and one-dollar coins.  The other side is kiwi.  The kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand, and New Zealanders even call themselves kiwi.

    The Smithsonian National Zoo is one of only four zoos in the world outside New Zealand that breeds kiwis.  In 1975, the Smithsonian National Zoo successfully hatched a kiwi, and now the 30-year-old kiwi is still meeting visitors in the zoo's aviary.

    In view of the fact that cats (carnivores) are the greatest threat to kiwis, the New Zealand government has promulgated legislation to impose curfews on domestic cats in areas where kiwis roam, in order to reduce the risk of kiwis being killed by cats when they go out at night.

    The kiwi is now listed in the appendix of the Washington Convention: a first-level protected animal

    This kind of flightless kiwi made Yuan Benchu ??couldn't help but sigh that there are many rare animals abroad. Yuan Benchu ??had never even heard of them. Walking around can help improve Yuan Benchu's vision. This can understand why rich people will  There is a scientific reason for choosing to travel to relax your mind. Although Yuan Benchu ??began not to believe in the so-called science, science does have its advantages in many fields. This cannot be denied.

    There is another animal that also shocked Yuan Benchu, that is, the Haast's giant eagle's wingspan of more than 3 meters may not be amazing, but its weight of 18 kilograms (40 pounds) exceeds that of any eagle living today.  Therefore, Haast's Giant Eagle is the largest eagle in history.

    As early as 5 million years ago, the huge Haast's Giant Eagle was once the ruler of New Zealand's birds.  The Haast's Eagle is a huge raptor with a wingspan of up to 3 meters.  It can attack moas from the air. It first uses its sharp claws to knock down the moa (a large wingless bird in New Zealand that is now extinct and is twice as tall as a human), and then tears its flesh.

    Scientists are the mostRecently, computerized X-ray axial layered contrast imaging scanning technology was used to compare the bones, brains, nervous systems and sensory organs of Haast's giant eagle and modern carnivorous raptors to explore whether it was a scavenger or a ferocious predator.  The conclusion is that the Haast's giant eagle is a well-trained killer and can easily capture moa. Perhaps it has also preyed on humans.

    The Haast Giant Eagle lurks in the trees, launching a swift attack on its target at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, embedding its terrifying claws into the flesh of its prey.  Some moa bones even have puncture marks, indicating that they were almost defenseless against the giant eagle.

    These magical and peculiar animals native to New Zealand are undoubtedly a spiritual food for Yuan Benchu. At this time, Yuan Benchu ??was located on an uninhabited island near the New Zealand island. He only brought simple survival tools and landed there by helicopter.  , his goal is to survive here for three days, and then a helicopter will come to pick him up. It¡¯s good to have money!  Can be enjoyed abroad.

    The time has come to test Yuan Benchu. Can he survive on a deserted island for three days?  Even Yuan Benchu ??couldn't guarantee this.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
