Traveler Notes - Chapter 9 Travel To Ramnagar 4
Another time, while we were having lunch in our Marruti, a cobra crawled in and did not want to get out. He warmed himself in the sun. And we were forced to wait until she crawled away. In India, revered cobra.
Once we drove along a wide floodplain of the river, it had a sandy channel. Water left and only a few streams flowed there. In the sand they saw distinct traces of the tiger.
Two peacocks proudly paced next to us, twenty paces away.
We washed our hands in the river and went into the forest. Literally driving away from this place 100 meters heard the wild cry of peacocks.
Driving across a wooden bridge, they saw a shadow darting under it. We stopped, looked under the post and there was a huge cobra, 5 meters long! And opened her hood! It was scary!
Conducting research, we got to the “elephant grass” it is such a tall, three meters. We talked loudly, laughed and waved our hands. And there he was! An elephant grazes peacefully in the grass. Three meters high and six meters long. Black all, with one broken tusk.
It turns out that elephants do not like noise and frequent flickering before the eyes of some objects. How did we know that? We had no offspring of elephants, except for the Holocene era, when mammoths and wild elephants lived on the territory. But at least 17 thousand years have passed since that time.
And in Manila, there are no elephants either.
So, how do we know how to behave with elephants.
The elephant rushed at us! He hit Marruti with his tusks on the rear wheel. Then a second time. The car jumped up. Only then the driver pressed the gas pedal and the car rushed to the forester’s house. And the elephant, not slowing down, set off after us … Before our eyes there was a wall, a black wall and a white tusk … eyes, red, furious.
A forester rode with us. He had a carbine. But he kept ammunition in his pocket. He began to charge the carbine, his hands were shaking. The first cartridge he dropped to the ground overboard the car. The second was loaded into a carbine, the third fell into the body, and the fourth and fifth he managed to shove into a carbine. Then he fired, three shots, over the head of an elephant. That speaks of his skill, but on the other hand, he dropped part of the cartridges …
The elephant recovered from such a greeting and stopped discontentedly, and there the second and third cars just left. He pounced on them, and there the foresters had double-barreled guns, four shots rang out … The elephant, offended by people, went to the thickets of grass with a weak trot.
And we flew onto the hill to the house of foresters. They just poured out of it with carbines and double-barreled shotguns at the ready.
for visiting.
Managed.
Half an hour has passed. The shock receded. Foresters rested us with boiling water and large and fat, boiled, white, thick worms floated on the bottom of the pot. Such is the surroundings.
