126 friends
◎What is going on? These little cheetahs have been living with their mother and uncle. Could it be that◎
If they left like this, Qiao Jinnian would definitely feel some regret. It would be better for them to go to the northern grassland, the territory where they once lived, and look for it one last time.
If she finds one, she will take her friends and migrate to the southwestern grasslands, of course, it depends on whether they are willing.
After trying her best, even if her friends were not there, she could give up completely.
At the beginning, when her father suddenly decided to abdicate, he must have wanted to wander alone, so she resolutely embarked on the road of wandering with her father.
After she left, those friends didn't want to stay in the lion's territory, because they went to the southern grassland because of her. After she left, they would definitely return to where they originally lived.
Star and Freckles originally lived on this grassland, and Allen lived in the northern grassland. Stripes was a unique zebra and didn't have his own tribe, but he might follow Allen, after all, they were both herbivores.
She wasn't sure where Silverback and Cloak had gone; they could live well anywhere.
The father and daughter returned to the big tree again. It was Allen who pushed down the tree, and the tree became a bridge in the east.
Looking at the bite and trample marks on the tree, Qiao Jinnian was very sure that this tree must have helped many animals successfully cross the river.
For some animals, as long as they see other animals using the tree, they will naturally learn how to use the tree.
Of course, she was not sure about the wildebeest herds that moved together in millions, because they would always follow the teammates in front of them.
After successfully crossing the river, the father and daughter walked for several more days, bypassing the territory of the super lion group, and finally arrived at the territory of their former neighbors.
Unexpectedly, the lion prides of our neighbors are still here. The little lions have grown up long ago, and the male lions have left the tribe, but the female cubs have all stayed in the lion pride.
After the fire, the two stray male lions fled on their own. This lion group did not absorb any male lions later. It is a large lion group composed entirely of female lions.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian dared to pass through the lion group and go directly to the territory where they used to live.
Because of the appearance of the lion father, the female lions suddenly became nervous, fearing that it was a stray male lion invading.
Perhaps, this lion group no longer wants male lions. After all, the male lions in the past were lazy and gluttonous. Now, this lion group has so many female lions, and they are all good at cooking, so there is no shortage of food.
However, when the lionesses saw the familiar two-legged beast, they seemed to remember something. After all, they had never seen another two-legged beast on this grassland.
Then, that lion should be the territorial lion next door back then.
That’s right, the lionesses were no longer nervous at once, knowing that this was not an invasion.
"Roar--" Qiao Jinnian waved and greeted the lionesses. She knew that these lion aunts still remembered her.
The lion group now consists of only young female lions, and those older female lions seem to have disappeared.
Qiao Jinnian remembered that those videos had introduced that when some female lions felt that their time was running out, they might quietly leave the lion group and accept death alone.
Not only the lioness mothers, but also the cubs who were young back then, are now old enough to be mothers, and they feel very familiar when they see her.
They were the little cubs with whom she had chased the hares.
The mothers of those cubs were burned in the fire while trying to save their children and unfortunately died. Now, the cubs are all alive and well, and Qiao Jinnian is quite relieved.
The lion father deliberately kept a certain distance from them so as not to cause panic.
Qiao Jinnian strode over and rubbed against each of the lionesses to show his friendliness.
After saying goodbye to the neighboring lion groups, Qiao Jinnian and his father continued walking towards their former territory.
Of course, they were not sure whether the area was occupied by other lion prides.
Therefore, the lion father sniffed carefully around the lion group to make sure there was no scent of other male lions here, and then he walked towards the core area with confidence.
Suddenly, the lion father seemed to catch some smell in the air, turned his head to look at her, and made a "whooshing" sound from his mouth, as if he had discovered something.
Thinking of a possibility, Qiao Jinnian retreated and ran towards the swamp in the core area.
She ran a little fast, but when she saw Alan eating leaves under the tree, she immediately forgot that she was still breathing. Her whole body seemed to be recharged with electricity. She ran towards the bull elephant, roaring: "Moo——"
In the big tree in the distance, Silverback was standing on the stump, actually helping Allen pick leaves to eat in his own way.
Because Allen couldn't reach the leaves, he always had to knock down the whole tree to successfully eat the leaves. Later, they went to the territory of the southern grassland. Allen would eat leaves from some lower trees, and sometimes Qiao Jinnian would climb up the tree and help him pick leaves to eat.
However, none of the other animals helped Allen. Could it be that because they saw Allen always bumping into trees, Silverback remembered what she had done before?
Thinking of this, Qiao Jinnian felt that Yinbei was so heartwarming and a good child.
Hearing the familiar roar, Allen slowly turned his head and saw his two-legged friend at a glance. He stretched out his nose, with the lower half still drooping, and responded loudly: "Moo——"
The silverback standing on the tree stump also raised its head, straightened its upper body, opened its eyes wide, and swayed from side to side, as if carefully confirming something.
Suddenly, Allen took huge steps and trotted towards this side. The ground shook violently because of the elephant's running.
Silverback also jumped down from the tree and ran towards her.
It turned out that they really came to this territory.
Qiao Jinnian went to the south with her father at that time. Perhaps, their friends thought that they left the grassland during the dry season and would definitely come to the grassland in the north.
So, they all came here, thinking that she would come here sooner or later.
I didn't expect that they were still here even though the rainy season had arrived.
When Allen was 10 meters away from Qiao Jinnian, he slowed down. After all, he knew that he was too big and it was difficult to brake.
Seeing him stop, Qiao Jinnian took the initiative to walk forward, stretched out her hand, and patted Allen's nose to show closeness.
Allen's ears were wide open and shaking back and forth, his nose was raised hard, and he raised his front legs. This was an expression of happiness.
The silverback passed between her and the elephant and took a bite of her hemp shoe, as if to remind her that he was right under her feet.
Bending down, Qiao Jinnian picked up Silverback and found that he had become heavier. He must have eaten a lot of scorpions, and maybe even a lot of poisonous snakes and spicy strips.
That was great, at least she had found two friends, but she wasn't sure if the others were there, or if they had gotten lost along the way?
Holding Silverback, Qiao Jinnian lifted his arms, looked into his small eyes, and asked, "Cape, stripes, stars, freckles?"
She only mentioned the names of a few friends, meaning to ask where they had been. She didn't know if he could understand, but he did know that his name was Silverback.
Then, the silverback kicked its legs and struggled to get down. After that, it ran in one direction, ran for a while, stopped, and looked back at her, as if asking her to catch up.
Qiao Jinnian realized that he wanted to lead the way.
But this is very strange, especially since Stripe is a herbivore. Would he dare to go to the grassland to eat grass by himself?
It turned out that although Stripe was a zebra, he was still very smart. He would not go to eat grass by himself. He followed the three predators.
Yes, the cape family and the cheetah family were all hunting on the grassland, and Stripes was standing on the grassland and eating grass leisurely under their protection.
There is a group of zebras on the grassland not far away. The appearance of the stripes just paralyzes those herbivores.
Because when carnivores appear on the grassland, no matter which herbivore sees it, it will sound an alarm to its own kind, but when the stripes appear over there, there is no fear at all, so the herbivores all think that there is no danger on this grassland.
So, Stripes is actually a tool horse for these predators, and a particularly useful spy.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jinnian didn't know whether to admire the predator's extraordinary intelligence, or to say that Stripes was very smart?
Protected by predators, the predators in turn use zebras as spies.
"Meow--" Qiao Jinnian roared towards the grassland.
This is the call to fellow cheetahs, as they run the fastest and have the most sensitive ears.
Star, Freckles, and the little cheetahs, who had already caught their prey and were about to start eating, instantly raised their heads and looked over here.
As a result, Cloak also noticed something, and everyone saw the figure of the two-legged beast standing at the edge of the grassland.
Stripe also raised his legs, roared, and ran towards her.
Qiao Jinnian met so many friends all of a sudden, she was so happy!
She rubbed against each of her friends, stretched out her hands, and kept stroking the heads of the little cheetahs. They had grown so big and had not yet been driven out by their mother.
Qiao Jinnian was a little confused. Aren’t cheetahs solitary animals?
What is going on? These little cheetahs have been living with their mother and uncle. Won’t this result in inbreeding?
In the past, Qiao Jinnian thought that maybe they would wait until the cheetah cubs grew up a little before driving the children out, but the cubs have grown so big now, it seems that they will be together forever?
Qiao Jinnian suddenly realized that this didn't seem like a good idea. Should she help Freckles drive all the children out?
She always suspected that because her appearance saved Xingxing's life, Xingxing valued family affection very much and did not separate from Freckles. Later, Xingxing always stayed with the lion group, which led to the cheetahs seeming to learn to live in groups from the lion group.
But the lion group will drive out the male lion, and this cheetah is planning for everyone to live together!
You know, if this continues, there will be too many competitors of the same species on a grassland at the same time, and the ecology of the grassland will be destroyed.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
