◎Sister Sa: "..." Is this cub crazy? ◎
Having missed the cub period of her younger brothers and sisters, as well as the cub period of her nephews and nieces, Qiao Jinnian now cherishes these five cheetah cubs particularly.
Adult cheetahs are much smaller than lions, and cubs are also much smaller than sub-adult lions, so this is the best time to pet them.
So, whenever Qiao Jinnian has free time, she hugs the five little cheetahs and pats their heads hard. When they are full, she likes to scratch their chins the most.
At this time, they will make a 'gurgling' sound to show that they are enjoying it.
"Meow--" the little cheetah purred and called out to Qiao Jin.
In fact, these cubs will soon be able to go out on their own.
Cheetah cubs are kicked out at two years old, and lion cubs at three years old.
The difference is that cheetahs, whether male or female, will be driven out, while only male lions will be driven out.
Freckles is a very good mother. Although it is her first time as a mother, every cheetah mother has cheetah genes in her genes. This gene will tell them what they should do and how to train their cubs to become independent as soon as possible.
Their lion pride was very large. Later, because of the addition of more than a dozen cubs, Ryan and Reiner had to continue expanding their lion pride. So now Qiao Jinnian is not too sure how big their lion pride is now.
Even if I took her there in person, she wouldn't be able to remember it, after all, her nose simply didn't have the ability to distinguish the scent of a male lion.
So, she likes to wear a cloak when she goes out. After all, canines have a very keen sense of smell.
Alan has adapted well to the environment here. Except for the fact that there are no other elephants here, everything is fine. He has plenty of grass and leaves to eat every day.
Every once in a while, the lion father and his brother would patrol the entire territory and re-mark the scent.
But this time, Qiao Jinnian had no way to go with the lion father to mark the territory.
At that time, the lion father could feed the whole family as long as he was full. Now the lion father’s burden is too heavy, and she cannot add to his burden.
The two territorial lions ran to defend their home, so Sister Sa took Sister Sa, Sa Claws, and Qiao Jinnian, four lions, to cook for the sub-adults.
When Qiao Jinnian was not back, the three of them must have been very tired. They had to cook and feed the cubs at the same time, so Qiao Jinnian had to be sensible and work harder.
Sister Sa is a lioness mother with rich hunting experience, so this time the team hunting operation will definitely be commanded by Sister Sa.
However, Sister Sa usually only needs to hunt with Sister Sa and Sa Claw Claw. Now there is an additional person, Qiao Jinnian. She cannot understand this cub and does not know how to arrange a hunting position for her.
Seeing Sister Sa's big, dark brown lion eyes and her mouth wide open, Qiao Jinnian understood that Sister Sa was having a headache.
So, Qiao Jinnian waved her hand and simply stood aside with Ya Chengnian, pointing at the herbivores in the distance and said, "Roar——"
This means that she will look after the children first and let the three of them go hunting first.
Sister Sa didn’t care whether she hunted or not. After all, Sister Sa was very capable and was still at her peak. She looked back at the sub-adults and thought that she should let Qiao Jinnian look after the children. Since the children had to be watched anyway, what if they ran away?
So, Qiao Jinnian inexplicably became a kindergarten teacher, lying under a big tree with the fourteen sub-adults present, watching Sister Sa lead her two daughters hunting.
There are so many family members, so Sister Sa has to hunt a herbivore every day, and it must be an adult animal, otherwise there will not be enough food.
Suddenly, Qiao Jinnian remembered the days when her father only needed to eat once every few days. Those days would probably never come back. She wondered what her father was thinking now?
Alas, there's nothing she can do. As the daughter of an old father, Qiao Jinnian can only treat herself like an ox and a horse. Just hold on for another year and a half, and everything will be fine once the children grow up...
Sister Sa valued a buffalo...
Only Sister Sa would go straight for the buffalo...
Buffalo meat is rich and delicious, making it the lion's favorite meat. However, hunting buffalo also carries the greatest risk...
It's a bit scary to see three adult female lions capturing a bull buffalo.
Qiao Jinnian could only climb onto the rocks and stand higher, wanting to observe how Sister Sa hunted the buffalo.
When the minors saw their sister, or aunt, climbing to a higher place, they also followed and climbed up the rock.
Fourteen sub-adult lions squatted on the ground obediently, stood up their upper bodies, and looked towards the buffalo herd in the distance.
The male buffalo protected his family members behind him. When he saw the three female lions, he didn't take them seriously. Instead, he rushed forward and tried to use his horns to drive away Sister Sa's three lions.
The three lions retreated quickly and moved a little further away.
But that was just a stopgap measure to make the buffaloes let down their guard and think they had the upper hand.
Later, Sister Sa changed direction along the periphery and stood in the blind spot where the male buffalo could not see her. The three of them crawled forward and slowly approached the buffalo herd through the yellow grass.
When they were within 10 meters, Sister Sa suddenly stood up and ran towards an old male buffalo. Little Sister Sa and Sa Zhua Zhua followed closely behind their mother, two meters away from her.
The three rushed over and deliberately made a loud noise to make the buffalo start running away.
In this way, the oldest buffalo will run slower and will be separated from other members of the herd by some distance, exposing itself in an open area.
Buffaloes are very powerful, but they do not work together. Even if their companions are captured, they remain indifferent. This is why they have strong individual combat capabilities but are still the favorite meat of lions.
The old buffalo ran forward vigorously, making a "moo, moo" sound from its mouth.
But as time went on, the distance between the old buffalo and the other members became farther, which provided more space for the lions to hunt.
Sister Sa didn't pounce, but waited until she and the buffalo kept the same running rhythm, then she pounced in the air and bit the base of the buffalo's tail.
The huge bite force caused a large amount of blood to flow out from the base of the buffalo's tail. Sister Sa's face was covered in blood, but she refused to let go. She even retracted her hind paws and hung her entire huge body on the buffalo, slowing down its running speed.
At this time, the two daughters had more time. They pounced on the buffalo from the left and right, biting its back and hanging themselves on it.
But this old buffalo is quite heavy. One buffalo is as heavy as five lions, and it still has enough energy to keep running.
At this point, it was obvious why Sister Sa bit the base of the tail. That place was too painful and too much blood was flowing.
The buffalo's speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped. It kept howling and used brute force to spin in circles in place, trying to get rid of Sister Sa behind it.
Unfortunately, there was no way Sister Sa would let him get rid of it. She bit it tightly, and when the buffalo stopped, she even jumped up and directly jumped onto its back to bite its spine.
Finally, the old buffalo was exhausted and fell to the ground, wailing helplessly: "Moo, Moo——"
The children stood on the high rocks and carefully observed the hunting process of their mother and grandmother. These are the hunting skills that sub-adults need to learn, and they need to master them when they cooperate in hunting in the future.
After the buffalo completely died, Sister Sa turned around and roared at the sub-adults on the rocks: "Roar--"
Ya Chengnian ran over happily and had dinner with his mother and grandmother.
As for Ryan and Reiner, they are on patrol outside and are responsible for their own meals, while the other members of the lion group are self-sufficient.
Only Qiao Jinnian never ate raw meat with them, but they would leave a leg for her because she wanted to roast beef jerky for herself.
Although these sub-adults had never seen this sister, or aunt, when they were young, their mother had already told them about Qiao Jinnian's identity.
If Qiao Jinnian were a real lioness, she would need to smell each cub and remember their scent, which is a necessary process for every lion to be introduced to new family members.
Unfortunately, Qiao Jinnian not only couldn't smell the difference in smell, but also couldn't tell the appearance of lions apart. All these processes were meaningless to her.
She was also very sad. If the sub-adults grew up and were expelled from the lion group, she might not be able to recognize her own lions if she saw them outside...
This is too difficult. Hey, Qiao Jinnian looked at the lions who were eating, and suddenly came up with a great idea. That is, she would draw a mark on the bodies of her own lions. In this way, she could recognize her own lions by the mark!
But what kind of painting should I use?
If it is paint or something like that, they just need to soak it in river water once and the marks will disappear.
So was she going to give them tattoos? That would be too painful, and maybe Father Lion wouldn't agree first.
Then she thought of hanging a hemp rope necklace around the lions' necks, but she was afraid that if they got caught on the buffalo's horns, it would harm them.
Scratching his head over the thought, Qiao Jinnian didn't hesitate and decided to take the initiative to talk to Sister Sa about the issue.
After all, she really didn't want to see a situation where they were all relatives but met on the grassland and didn't know each other.
Of course, she was just saying that she didn't know him, but the lions all recognized her.
After finishing her meal, Sister Sa lay down not far from the buffalo herd to rest. This is the habit of lions.
After finding Sister Sa, Qiao Jinnian gestured for a long time and even pulled a sub-adult over, wanting to use the plant with blue juice to poke the sub-adult's butt, indicating that he wanted to leave a mark.
Sister Sa was so annoyed by her gestures that she couldn't understand what she was trying to do at all.
However, this cub always does strange things. Sister Sa is very indulgent towards her and doesn't yell at her, letting her do whatever she wants.
Qiao Jinnian found a little lion that looked the most obedient, dipped the sharp thorns of an acacia tree in the juice of a blue plant, and stabbed the little lion's butt.
The little lion jumped up: "Awooo-wooo--"
Sister Sa: “…” Is this cub crazy?
