283 Siberian Icefield
In fact, Bell thought that it was a good decision to explore the African savanna with his current strength.
However, the African savanna was very famous. After discussing with the production team, they decided to make it the finale in the tenth episode.
Therefore, he could only choose another place.
Without this option, Bell really did not know where to go.
There were indeed many places that had not been explored, but there were not many places that could stimulate him.
He still hoped to make the adventure more exciting.
Even though he always tried his best to make every episode interesting.
According to the terrains, the next episode should be a marshland.
However, the marshland did not seem to be thrilling enough.
In comparison, the jungles of Vietnam and Siberia seemed to be more challenging.
One was a primeval forest that had once swallowed countless American soldiers.
The other was the gathering place of the world’s largest feline.
The three choices had their pros and cons.
The 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.
Bell was also worried that his fans would feel bored.
As for the other Siberian ice field, the harsh environment was a difficult test.
At the same time, there were large felines like Siberian tigers living there. It was indeed thrilling.
In fact, many people thought that tigers were not a match for bears.
But the truth was the opposite.
As 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.
As for its weight, it could reach an astonishing 350 kilograms.
Moreover, tigers were clearly more dangerous than bears.
Because when a bear’s weight reached its peak, it would go into hibernation.
This peak weight was reached when it accumulated fat to resist cold.
At the same time, this weight made them look a little cumbersome.
Its actions would be slightly slower.
But a tiger was different.
They were almost always at their peak.
In Russia, someone had interviewed dozens of forest guards and obtained shocking data .
In over a decade, there were a total of 27 battles between brown bears and Siberian tigers.
14 times, there was no winner.
The brown bear killed the Siberian tiger twice.
The remaining eleven times all ended with the brown bear’s death.
All these 27 battles were frontal attacks, and not ambushes.
If sneak attacks were included, Siberian tigers killed brown bears more than 90 times.
This data also showed that the Siberian tiger was at the top of the food chain.
Of course, the environment was also a factor in this.
This was limited to the Siberian area.
After all, the brown bears in Asia were much smaller than the Kodiak brown bears.
If the opponent was a Kodiak brown bear, the Siberian tiger’s chances of winning would decrease greatly.
It was hard to say who was stronger.
Right now, it was already November.
Siberia was almost at its coldest.
In the hinterland of Siberia, the temperature during the day could reach -48 °C.
As for the night, it could reach a terrifying -71 degrees Celsius.
This could not be described as just cold.
Bell was hesitant.
After 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.
Bell posted a poll on Weibo.
Not long after the poll was published, nearly 400,000 people participated in the voting.
By the evening, there were as many as 30 million people who voted.
20% of people voted for the marshland.
The votes for jungles in Vietnam was slightly higher, reaching close to 30%, but it was not the highest.
The remaining votes were all cast on Siberia.
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Bell decided to broadcast on the Siberian Icefield.
Thinking 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.
Soon, he informed the production team of Wilderness Survival.
After hearing the location recommended by Bell, the production team naturally accepted it.
After deciding on the location of the next episode, Bell had to prepare.
The danger level of the Siberian ice plain was far greater than the Amazon rainforest.
During the winter, the temperature in Siberia was no higher than -45 degrees Celsius.
Wanting to survive there was almost equivalent to finding a miracle.
Without a fire, freezing to death was a certainty.
Moreover, there were many top predators living there.
Especially Siberian tigers.
Winter was the time when they were the most hungry.
This top predator consumed a lot of food almost every day to store fat to survive the winter.
This was also why there were always Siberian tigers attacking hibernating brown bears.
Because these hibernating brown bears were indeed the best fat supplements in the eyes of the Siberian tigers.
With Bell’s current physique, he could try to fight a jaguar head-on.
However, it would be a joke to fight a Siberian tiger head-on.
This was the largest feline species.
Its size was not inferior to average brown bears.
Coupled with its agile limbs, when fighting, it could stand on its hind legs like cats and constantly strike with its front claws.
Don’t think that tigers only have sharp teeth.
That heavy palm was definitely not something a human could withstand.
Many people thought that feline palm strikes were not strong because they rarely used it when hunting.
But in fact, the Siberian tiger’s casual paw strike could reach a force of 1,200 kilograms.
Coupled 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.
It was obvious that it would definitely not feel good.
