111 Mom
◎Unfortunately, perhaps because she was a little old, her flying leap was a little off target, and instead of landing, she fell heavily to the ground◎
Of course, Qiao Jinnian was just guessing. After all, it was difficult to tell the age of a lion. The two lionesses looked almost exactly the same, except that one of them had sparse hair and a thin body, and seemed a little old.
Let's try to calculate. If that was the lion father's mother, then the lioness would be at least 17 years old, and that's based on the fact that the lion father was the first litter.
The average lifespan of a lionesses is relatively long. After all, lionesses do not need to guard territory and can still die of old age, except for those lionesses who die from the horns of herbivores.
The lion father looked at it for a long time, as if he was trying to identify something.
If this is his mother's lion group, then he left here at the age of 3, and it has been a full ten years. Lions mainly rely on smell to distinguish relatives.
The lion father knows that his home is here, so he will know that the desert lion group here is his mother's tribe, and there may be a certain chance that he can recognize his mother.
On the contrary, his mother may not be able to recognize him. One reason is that the scent has long dissipated, and the other is that the lion has changed a lot after not seeing him for so many years.
Qiao Jinnian was not sure, not even sure whether this was his father's native lion group.
The lion father had no intention of going forward to recognize his relatives. He probably just came here to observe from a distance. If the lion group already had male lions, if he went over rashly, the male lions would think he was invading and a war would break out.
Seeing his father lying on the edge of a high rock, hiding his body and silently observing the lion group, Qiao Jinnian also lay on him and accompanied him to observe the lion group.
In the past, Qiao Jinnian’s favorite thing to do was to listen to the gossip of other lion groups. At that time, only Reiner would gossip with her, and the lion father never liked to join in the fun.
But at this moment, he blinked slowly and just stood there motionless, watching the little lions playing.
The little lions looked to be almost adults, four of them had mohawks and two were lionesses.
Because they were high up and the rocks on this side provided good concealment, the lions over there did not notice them.
When she was hungry, her father would go hunting and drink water, and then bring her here. Every day they would lie down by the rocks to rest and watch the lion group.
Qiao Jinnian felt that her father was just homesick, so she didn't say anything and just watched with him quietly.
However, as she watched, she felt that this lion group seemed a little abnormal. Those lions were obviously over two years old, so why did they never practice hunting?
Every day, two adult lionesses are responsible for hunting. They play here and wait for their mother, aunt, or sister to drag the prey back.
After the prey was dragged back, the young male lion became particularly domineering and squeezed out the young female lion and his mother. The four male lions took over the entire prey and ate it lavishly, with their faces covered in blood.
The four lionesses could only lick their mouths and wait until the four teenagers finished eating before they went to eat up the remaining meat.
Qiao Jinnian glanced at the lion father and said, "Awooo?"
She didn't understand and was shocked. Isn't it true that a mother wouldn't stop her son?
The lion father was also very annoyed, but unfortunately he was not the father of the little lion and had no control over the internal affairs of the lion group.
Qiao Jinnian had heard that male lions did have a rather brutal temper. The lion father also had a very irritable personality and would get very upset if he was slightly dissatisfied.
However, compared with other male lions, the lion father is already a lion with a particularly good personality and is particularly kind.
So, the four little lions in front of us are what normal lions look like...
Thinking about the male lion that was driven out of the lion group early, Qiao Jinnian suddenly felt that the little lions in his own lion group were well taught by their elders and were quite well-behaved.
Well, if that lioness is really his grandmother, then the lion father must have been taught very well by her back then. But if these four little male lions in front of him don’t start practicing hunting, how will they survive after being driven out?
This is not a problem she should consider, but a problem that the lion group should consider.
Originally, she thought that the other party's male lion was out on patrol, but after watching for several days, she found out that this was a lion group without any male lions at all.
That is, two lioness mothers live with six cubs.
Moreover, all six little lions only know how to play all day and are not doing their jobs.
Qiao Jinnian was speechless, and the lion father didn't want to watch anymore, so he stood up and walked out of the desert, wanting to go back to the valley.
Unexpectedly, because he walked slowly, he was seen by the two female lions in the lion group.
Perhaps because the little lion was about to turn three years old, the lionesses were controlled by hormones, and when they were in estrus, the young lioness roared invitingly to the lion father.
"Roar--" The lioness lay on the ground, raised her neck and roared at Ryan.
The lion father turned around helplessly, blinked slowly, looked at the lioness, and saw his mother.
At this point, he probably confirmed the other person's identity, although he didn't smell the other person up close.
It is impossible for a lion father to accept the invitation to join another lion group. One reason is that this is his mother's lion group, which is a close breeding. Another point is that the lion father is not young anymore.
Therefore, the lion father decisively rejected this invitation and growled: "Roar——"
The grandmother didn't recognize the lion father at all. After ten years of separation, the smell had dissipated, and even if her own son stood in front of her, he would be regarded as a completely unfamiliar lion.
In the desert area here, there are very few lion groups. The father and daughter hardly saw other lion groups along the way, and they had a smooth journey.
In order to stabilize the lion group, the lioness extended an invitation to the passing male lion. This was quite normal, after all, the four little male lions would soon leave the lion group.
After roaring, the lion father continued to walk westward with Qiao Jinnian.
In the following days, the lion father never went there to see the lion group again.
One day, the lion father was a little tired of this hunting method that relied purely on patience, and wanted to go to the edge of the desert to catch an antelope, so he came to the edge of the desert again.
Here, on an open sandy field, they saw a mother giraffe and her baby giraffe.
But he only had one lion, and there was no need to take the risk of hunting such a large prey, so he decided to move on.
However, he suddenly heard some sounds, and following the sounds, he looked at the mother giraffe and her child again.
There were eight lions crawling in the grass over there. It seemed that two adult female lions were preparing to capture giraffes with their six cubs.
They crawled forward together, but unfortunately, when they were about to approach the giraffe, the little lions exposed their whereabouts in advance due to lack of experience, and the lioness had to run towards the giraffe and its cubs in advance.
The mother giraffe was horrified and started kicking with her long legs. As a result, she accidentally kicked her own baby.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
After being kicked, the baby giraffe fell to the ground and must have died...
No one knows what the mother giraffe was thinking when she saw her child being kicked to death by herself, but the mother lioness immediately seized the opportunity and pounced on the stunned mother giraffe, wanting to kill the big one at the same time.
This is a very experienced lioness.
Unfortunately, perhaps because she was a little old, her leap was a little off target, and instead of landing on the target, she fell heavily to the ground.
The fall was quite severe, and in panic, the mother giraffe kicked the mother lioness several times.
The mother giraffe managed to escape because the cook was injured and the other lions were simply unable to capture the adult giraffe.
At this time, the little lions had surrounded the baby giraffe and started eating its meat.
The young lionesses and adult lionesses were squeezed out.
Although the mother lioness was kicked several times, she managed to stand up despite the injury on her back, probably because her lying position on the ground protected her abdomen.
Qiao Jinnian didn't know whether the mother lioness, the lioness who was most likely her grandmother, had internal bleeding.
From the surface, her walking was not affected at all, but her complexion was not good and she was obviously in great pain.
At this time, the lion father no longer wanted to watch any further, and took her deeper into the desert, following the scent of the antelope.
Soon the lion father successfully captured an antelope, and the father and daughter lay down on the sand and finished their meal.
The lion father has already seen his mother's lion group. He seems to have put down something in his heart and is preparing to take a short rest in the valley. It is unknown what his plans are next, and whether he will go back to the southern grassland to take a look.
I don’t know how Sister Sa and the others are doing. Are there any new cubs born in their lion group?
The father and daughter settled down in the valley. Maybe the father wanted to explore other places during the rainy season. Maybe he wanted to go back and take a look during the rainy season. Who knows?
However, the lion father did not go back to the rocks to check on the lion group. Instead, the four little male lions from that group suddenly appeared in the valley.
Yes, one day, they just showed up like that, carefree and open.
This is not the territory of the lion father. They are just living here temporarily. It is not a question of invasion or not, so the lion father ignored them.
However, those four little lions didn't know how to hunt at all.
The lion father had never hunted in this valley before, but he had rich hunting experience and knew that hunting methods had to change according to the terrain and prey.
However, these four little ones were lazy and gluttonous in their family, relying entirely on their mother to hunt. Now that they have finally grown up, they have been driven out and are about to starve to death...
Yes, they had been chasing prey in this valley for several days in a row.
There are many antelopes in the valley, but as long as they move a little, the small gravel will make sounds, and the sounds will be infinitely amplified by the echoes in the valley. Even a deaf person can hear them, let alone those animals who have been struggling on the grassland since birth?
So, the father and daughter watched with their own eyes as these foolish boys hunted for five consecutive days without catching a single grain of food. They were so hungry that they felt dizzy and their strength was fading away. It was so miserable...
