n283 Siberian Icefield

nIn fact, Bell thought that it was a good decision to explore the African savanna with his current strength.

nHowever, the African savanna was very famous. After discussing with the production team, they decided to make it the finale in the tenth episode.

nTherefore, he could only choose another place.

nWithout this option, Bell really did not know where to go.

nThere were indeed many places that had not been explored, but there were not many places that could stimulate him.

nHe still hoped to make the adventure more exciting.

nEven though he always tried his best to make every episode interesting.

nAccording to the terrains, the next episode should be a marshland.

nHowever, the marshland did not seem to be thrilling enough.

nIn comparison, the jungles of Vietnam and Siberia seemed to be more challenging.

nOne was a primeval forest that had once swallowed countless American soldiers.

nThe other was the gathering place of the world’s largest feline.

nThe three choices had their pros and cons.

nThe marshland was not exciting enough, and the jungles in Vietnam would not do because he just finished broadcasting in the Amazon rainforest, so there would not be much new content.

nBell was also worried that his fans would feel bored.

nAs for the other Siberian ice field, the harsh environment was a difficult test.

nAt the same time, there were large felines like Siberian tigers living there. It was indeed thrilling.

nIn fact, many people thought that tigers were not a match for bears.

nBut the truth was the opposite.

nAs the largest feline in the world, the Siberian tiger could grow to 2 meters long, and would be 3 meters or longer if the tail was counted.

nAs for its weight, it could reach an astonishing 350 kilograms.

nMoreover, tigers were clearly more dangerous than bears.

nBecause when a bear’s weight reached its peak, it would go into hibernation.

nThis peak weight was reached when it accumulated fat to resist cold.

nAt the same time, this weight made them look a little cumbersome.

nIts actions would be slightly slower.

nBut a tiger was different.

nThey were almost always at their peak.

nIn Russia, someone had interviewed dozens of forest guards and obtained shocking data .

nIn over a decade, there were a total of 27 battles between brown bears and Siberian tigers.

n14 times, there was no winner.

nThe brown bear killed the Siberian tiger twice.

nThe remaining eleven times all ended with the brown bear’s death.

nAll these 27 battles were frontal attacks, and not ambushes.

nIf sneak attacks were included, Siberian tigers killed brown bears more than 90 times.

nThis data also showed that the Siberian tiger was at the top of the food chain.

nOf course, the environment was also a factor in this.

nThis was limited to the Siberian area.

nAfter all, the brown bears in Asia were much smaller than the Kodiak brown bears.

nIf the opponent was a Kodiak brown bear, the Siberian tiger’s chances of winning would decrease greatly.

nIt was hard to say who was stronger.

nRight now, it was already November.

nSiberia was almost at its coldest.

nIn the hinterland of Siberia, the temperature during the day could reach -48 °C.

nAs for the night, it could reach a terrifying -71 degrees Celsius.

nThis could not be described as just cold.

nBell was hesitant.

nAfter thinking for a long time, Bell felt that since he could not decide, he might as well start a vote online and leave the choice to the audience.

nBell posted a poll on Weibo.

nNot long after the poll was published, nearly 400,000 people participated in the voting.

nBy the evening, there were as many as 30 million people who voted.

n20% of people voted for the marshland.

nThe votes for jungles in Vietnam was slightly higher, reaching close to 30%, but it was not the highest.

nThe remaining votes were all cast on Siberia.

nSeeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Bell decided to broadcast on the Siberian Icefield.

nThinking of the harsh environment of the Siberian ice field, as well as the Siberian tiger, brown bear, black bear, lynx, and other animals, Bell was a bit excited.

nSoon, he informed the production team of Wilderness Survival.

nAfter hearing the location recommended by Bell, the production team naturally accepted it.

nAfter deciding on the location of the next episode, Bell had to prepare.

nThe danger level of the Siberian ice plain was far greater than the Amazon rainforest.

nDuring the winter, the temperature in Siberia was no higher than -45 degrees Celsius.

nWanting to survive there was almost equivalent to finding a miracle.

nWithout a fire, freezing to death was a certainty.

nMoreover, there were many top predators living there.

nEspecially Siberian tigers.

nWinter was the time when they were the most hungry.

nThis top predator consumed a lot of food almost every day to store fat to survive the winter.

nThis was also why there were always Siberian tigers attacking hibernating brown bears.

nBecause these hibernating brown bears were indeed the best fat supplements in the eyes of the Siberian tigers.

nWith Bell’s current physique, he could try to fight a jaguar head-on.

nHowever, it would be a joke to fight a Siberian tiger head-on.

nThis was the largest feline species.

nIts size was not inferior to average brown bears.

nCoupled with its agile limbs, when fighting, it could stand on its hind legs like cats and constantly strike with its front claws.

nDon’t think that tigers only have sharp teeth.

nThat heavy palm was definitely not something a human could withstand.

nMany people thought that feline palm strikes were not strong because they rarely used it when hunting.

nBut in fact, the Siberian tiger’s casual paw strike could reach a force of 1,200 kilograms.

nCoupled with the 11cm long nails hidden in the pads, which were like daggers, every slap would be equivalent to being stabbed into the body by several daggers.

nIt was obvious that it would definitely not feel good.
