Bai Yu looked at the black bear on the other side of the pool, and for some reason, he really felt like he wanted to greet it.
However, seeing Wang Haojun and the others standing guard behind her, Bai Yu ultimately remained silent.
Actually, there were only eight people fishing at this fishing spot, along with a few locals and a few other fishermen from our family.
However, their fishing spots were a bit far from Bai Yu's, and they didn't communicate much with each other. The closest one to the black bear was only thirty or forty meters away.
There were fishermen right next to the black bear, but for some reason, the bear was only staring at Bai Yu, as if it had no interest in anyone else.
Especially when Bai Hao dragged the fish that had taken the bait to the shore and then scooped it up with a landing net, the black bear on the other side clearly seemed eager to try its luck.
Compared to the black bear opposite him, Bai Yu's attention was now focused on the salmon, which was about 60 or 70 centimeters long and was entirely red.
Logically speaking, salmon of this size should be very heavy, weighing at least 20 pounds, since salmon have a high fat content.
However, perhaps because it hadn't recovered well after spawning, this salmon looked thin and didn't resemble a typical salmon at all.
Even if you get this salmon to a salmon shop, I doubt any customers would want to eat it.
Just as Bai Yu was examining the salmon, the black bear not far away let out a low growl, once again attracting the attention of all the anglers present.
The local fishermen remained calm, continuing to fish in their respective spots, showing no intention of paying any attention to the black bear.
However, the fishermen from our family, as well as Bai Yu and others, were all startled and instinctively stood up from their chairs.
At this point, they were a little confused. What was the black bear trying to do?
Although the staff at the fishing spot said that the black bears here would not attack people unless provoked, how could we believe what they said?
If you go to a restaurant and ask the waiter how long it will take for your food to be ready, and he says it will be ready soon, do you believe him or not?
Moreover, this black bear was an adult, standing almost two meters tall, and weighing several hundred pounds.
If you were to have a close encounter with this guy, the outcome would be either death or serious injury.
For Bai Yu and the others, this consequence was unacceptable.
With a roar from the black bear, two more black puddles emerged from the bushes.
These newly emerged black balls are much smaller; even when they stand upright, they look less than a third the size of that big guy.
Bai Yu was a little stunned by what he saw. What was going on? A mother bear with cubs?
Soon the big black bear stood still, while the two little ones ran along the pool and headed straight for Bai Yu and the others.
The two little guys had a very clear goal: they charged straight at Bai Yu, or rather, at the salmon in Bai Yu's hand.
These two little black bears aren't very big, but they're quite fast, running at speeds of around 30 to 40 miles per hour.
However, these two didn't seem to be very bright. They ran fast and quickly arrived in front of Bai Yu.
However, they didn't seem to have learned how to brake, which led to an awkward situation. They tried to slow down but couldn't, and the place they were in was freezing cold with slippery ground.
Then, without warning, he stumbled and landed face-first, hurtling all the way to Bai Yu's side.
Bai Yu's heart was pounding as he looked at the two black bears in front of him, which resembled five black dogs. After all, he could only see these black bears in the zoo; he couldn't see them anywhere else.
Now he not only saw it, but it was right in front of him, within reach of him, that he could touch the black bear. However, there was another large creature watching them from a distance.
This made Bai Yu want to touch it but also a little hesitant, wondering what if the other person's parents got angry and came over.
So Bai Yu was really at a loss as to what to do with the two little black bears in front of him. He didn't dare to make a move, but the two little black bears had a very clear target: they pounced directly on the salmon.
Don't let their small size fool you; these two black bears look only a few months old, but they are surprisingly strong.
Faced with the salmon weighing over ten pounds that Bai Yu had caught, the two of them, one biting the head and the other biting the tail, picked the fish up in one go.
However, because the two black bears were still young and their teeth were not fully grown, they could only pick up the salmon but could not gut it.
After all, salmon have scales and very thick skin, making them far too weak to be attacked by these little bear cubs. They simply cannot penetrate their defenses.
The two little guys bit at the salmon for a long time without causing any harm. Then they turned their attention to Bai Yu, their eyes seemingly asking for his help.
"Wow, these two black bears are pretty smart, they even know to ask for help!"
Bai Yu looked at the two black bears in front of him with surprise. As long as the big guy on the other side of the river didn't come over, Bai Yu wasn't worried at all.
"Brother Xiaobai, these two little guys don't look like they're doing this for the first time. Plus, they're not afraid of people on this island, so asking for help seems quite common."
"I wonder if we can pet them. These black bear cubs are quite cute, they look like dogs. I wonder if we can take one home and raise it."
Hearing what Li Xue said, Bai Yu nodded slightly in agreement, but then he realized the next second that he was nodding at all!
Taking a black bear home to raise? Don't be ridiculous, what a joke.
It's not that they can't afford to raise white fish, nor that they're not allowed to raise them in China, but rather that they can't keep them alive.
Black bears do exist in China and are even a Class II protected animal. However, if you want to keep a black bear as a pet, you can do so if you have all the necessary permits and licenses.
Moreover, Bai Yu and his group brought the black bear back from abroad, which made things even easier. He donated some money to the local government, and they issued a document to give him a black bear. Once that was done, he could raise it.
The reason they can't survive is because the climate difference between the Bering Sea and Hai Province is too great. Black bears can live well here, but they would likely suffer from acclimatization problems in Hai Province.
Since we already know the outcome, why bother doing it at all? So it's pointless.
"Xue'er, you should just think about what you just said. You can't do it. We're going to be at sea for a long time. We don't have time to raise a black bear."
"I know, Brother Xiaobai, I was just saying it offhand. Don't these two little guys really look like dogs?"
"A bear, of course it will look like a dog."
While chatting with Li Xue, Bai Yu took out his multi-functional hook remover, adjusted it to knife mode, and started cutting the salmon.
He took the knife and plunged it into the middle of the salmon, then slashed it downwards, splitting the salmon in two.
After the two little black bears had their hands on the two halves of the salmon, they each rubbed against one of Bai Yu's trouser legs before running away on all fours.
However, for this family of three black bears, a salmon weighing more than ten kilograms was definitely not enough for them, so after about ten minutes, the two little guys reappeared.
The big black bear, perhaps afraid of scaring Bai Yu and the others, stayed on the opposite bank of the river, silently watching them, showing no intention of coming over.
This was exactly what Bai Yu and the others were thinking. After all, black bears are only cute when they're young; once they grow up, they're no longer the cute creatures we find them.
Rather, it's about whether the other party finds us appealing or not, and whether they have any different thoughts about us.
Upon seeing the two black bear cubs appear for the second time, Bai Yu and the others relaxed and gathered around.
After all, there's an old saying that goes, "practice makes perfect." These two black bears have already appeared twice, so you could say they're familiar with them.
Since they're already familiar with each other, it seems reasonable for them to pet the black bear.
Once a person gets bold, they really get bold, to the point of being frightening.
Li Shuang and the others then surrounded the two little black bears and even hugged them.
The two little black bear brothers, who were about to throw a tantrum after realizing they were airborne, immediately quieted down.
Because at this moment, Rikuo brought over another salmon, and to make it easier for the two little black bears to eat, Rikuo cut the salmon into strips of fish meat.
Tempted by the food, the two little guys had already bowed down to the salmon meat. As for the dignity of a beast, to hell with dignity!
While the two little black bears were enjoying their meal, their mother, the big black bear, was lost in thought on the other side of the river, wondering why her children hadn't returned yet after so long.
Could it be that they couldn't get any food?
But that's not right either. They've used this method several times already. Even though these two little black bears are only a few months old, they've done this many times before and can be considered quite experienced.
Furthermore, because the two little black bears are too young, they cannot bite the fish skin without their mother's help, so they can only bring the salmon back.
But what this big black bear never expected was that this time he encountered a group of Chinese people, a group of Chinese people who love to use their brains, are particularly enthusiastic about small animals, and love to pet all kinds of furry creatures.
The two little black bears fell into the hands of Li Shuang and his group. If they didn't have fun, the two black bears wouldn't be able to go back.
There's no need to worry about food. Li Shuang and the others would rather go hungry themselves than not feed the two little black bears.
In any case, Li Shuang and the others had made some gains in the short time they had just gone by, catching quite a few salmon from the pond, enough for the two little guys to eat.
As for the warning from the staff not to feed the black bears, that was a warning to Bai Yu and the others not to feed the adult black bears. These two little black bears are only a little bit old, so what's wrong with feeding them?
Then, by this pool, the black bear family of three lived different lives. The mother bear waited at home for her cubs to bring back food, while the two little ones ate happily outside, completely forgetting their mother's existence.
