95 Life-threatening
◎Can you imagine being surrounded by nearly 40 wild dogs, biting your legs from all sides?◎
This is the only water hole, so it is impossible for the lion group to prevent other animals from coming to drink water.
There are 19 lions in our pride, standing in a row by the river, head to head, drinking water in unison, which is quite cool.
After drinking the water, Ryan led the lion group to find a place to rest.
At this time, the herbivores that had escaped returned to the river.
So, the scene just now was repeated. The antelopes tried every possible way to drink water. They either looked for holes dug by other animals or took a sip of water and then looked at the movement in the water, for fear that they would be dragged into the river by crocodiles.
It must be said that this waterhole feeds many animals during the dry season.
After a while, a whole pack of wild dogs, led by the queen, came here to drink water.
After drinking the water, the queen took her soldiers to hunt.
Our lion group has to rest well during the day because it is too hot.
Just look at my father, his chest is rising and falling rapidly, his mouth is wide open, it is obvious that the action of walking under the scorching sun just now has consumed too much energy.
The other lions did the same, all squinting their eyes and resting in the shade of the trees, preparing to start hunting in the evening.
The place Ryan chose had several big trees, and several baboons were standing on top of the trees. It seemed that this was a baboon territory.
Of course, the lion group doesn’t care whether it is the baboon’s territory or not, it has nothing to do with the lion group.
In fact, baboons hate lions very much. After all, the two species are natural enemies.
Lions eat baboons, and baboons steal lion cubs. The two species are irreconcilable.
But the baboons didn't dare to fight with the lions, and they had no way to fight. They were in the tall trees. Lions could climb trees, but they didn't dare to climb so high.
Baboons obviously have no advantage on the ground, so they can't fight.
However, since they cannot fight, baboons have other ways to express their dissatisfaction with the arrival of the lions.
For example, when evening comes, the lion group will take a fancy to the group of antelopes drinking water here during the day, and prepare to crawl over and catch a few antelopes to eat.
However, just as Ryan took a few steps forward, the baboon standing guard on the treetop began to shout "Wow wow wow".
This is the warning sound used by baboons to alert herbivores that a top predator is approaching.
So, the herd of antelopes disappeared in an instant and ran far away.
They had ruined the lions' hunting plan, and even stood on the treetops in triumph, making a boastful sound of "Ao Ao Ao——"
Ryan was fine, after all, he knew that baboons would always obstruct the lion's hunting activities, but Sister Sa would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She raised her head and kept looking at the baboon standing on the top of the tree.
It was as if she really wanted to climb up that tree and tear that baboon in half.
The baboon was stared at by the lion, so he jumped away from the treetop and hid himself behind the rocks.
So the lions had no choice but to move further away to another place to look for prey again.
In the end, Sister Sa returned again and quietly hunted an antelope. This time the baboons didn't even see her come back.
Sister Sa is particularly vengeful. If she doesn't turn back to hunt the antelope, she is afraid that the baboon will not have a good time the next day.
Maybe the next day I will have to climb a tree and fight with a group of baboons.
Facts have proved that Qiao Jinnian knows Sister Sa quite well.
Sure enough, on the second day, Sister Sa actually used her most powerful hunting skill of hiding her body, sneaked onto the rock, and then jumped from the top of the rock to the tree trunk.
After stabilizing her body, Sister Sa was not in a hurry and hid herself among some leaves.
Generally, only leopards can climb such very tall trees. Lionesses can climb trees, but their climbing skills are far inferior to those of leopards.
But this doesn't delay Sister Sa from coming for revenge.
The baboon who liked to stand on the treetop didn't even notice Sister Sa's presence, because Sister Sa was very patient and remained quiet throughout the whole process.
When the baboon wanted to jump from the treetop on this side to the branch next door, Sister Sa jumped up from the tree trunk as if she was risking her life, opened her big mouth and bit the baboon in her mouth.
Of course, because she was so big and not as agile as the leopard, she quickly lost her balance and fell from the tree.
But even so, Sister Sa just used her sharp nails to try to grab the tree trunk to steady her body.
She held the baboon tightly in her mouth and would not let go even if it meant falling to its death.
Because of the friction between her claws and the tree trunk, Sister Sa's falling speed slowed down a little.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, Sister Sa fell to the ground, but she was like a cat's claw on the ground, so she was only stunned for a while. After a few seconds, she woke up.
The baboon she had bitten was already dead. Sister Sa angrily threw the baboon's body on the ground and yelled at the sub-adult: "Roar--"
This is a snack for sub-adults. After all, the meat of a baboon is too little, just enough for a lion to fill its teeth.
The other members of the baboon group witnessed the lioness's desperate fighting throughout the whole process. They originally wanted to go forward to help, after all, she was a member of the tribe.
But think about 20 lions, so many kings of the grasslands, how could they dare? Aren't they afraid of being wiped out?
Indeed, animals will also judge the difference in strength between the two sides. If the gap is too big, they will have to consider sacrificing the entire tribe to avenge a dead baboon. This practice seems a bit ridiculous.
So the baboon tribe dared not speak out and remained silent.
They now know that no matter how much they hate these lions, they dare not call the police for the herbivores, because these lions are not easy to deal with. They will take revenge on the spot. Oh my god, it's so scary!
If a leopard fell from a height of more than ten meters, it would be fine. Sister Sa fell from such a high place, and although the impact was cushioned along the way, she still suffered some injuries and had difficulty walking.
So, Sister Sa returned to the shade of the tree calmly, lowered her head and began to lick her big paws, licking both her front and back paws.
In the evening, when everyone was about to go hunting, Sister Sa did not go because she was not feeling well and needed to rest.
The wounds on lions sometimes bleed and look serious, but as long as they have meat to eat and are given some time, they can slowly recover.
And they knew when they should rest, so Sister Sa refused to go hunting.
This time, Ryan caught another antelope right here.
But there is only this group of antelopes here. It seems a bit excessive to catch and kill only one of the tribe.
So, after that, the lion groups went to more distant places to hunt.
There are many giraffes here, but capturing them requires everyone's full cooperation, which is a highly difficult hunting operation.
Last time, they got a giraffe for free, but that was because the bull elephant went crazy. This time they have to discuss an action plan carefully.
There was a group of giraffes eating leaves standing in front of them, including a mother giraffe with her baby. Therefore, any normal lion group would first target the baby giraffe.
The giraffe cub is already half the height of its mother, but obviously does not have the strong long legs like its mother. As long as the cub and the mother are separated, it will be easy to catch the baby giraffe.
This is the target chosen by Ryan, and he is ready to start assigning tasks.
The sub-adults still did not participate in the hunting. After all, it was the dry season and it was not suitable for them to hunt large animals.
Sister Sa was injured again, so Ryan, Reiner, Little Sister Sa and Sa Claw, the four adult lions, each has a very heavy task.
Ryan assigned tasks to everyone and it was time to take action.
Qiao Jinnian knew that the lion father still didn't know how to let her participate in hunting. Although they all knew that she could catch animals alive, that method was not the usual way for lions to cooperate in hunting.
For lions, they all prefer a more direct way of hunting animals, such as jumping directly onto the back of a giraffe and biting the giraffe's long neck. Four adult lions weigh more than one ton, and a giraffe also weighs almost one ton. As long as they hang on the giraffe and make it fall, it will never be able to get up again and will not survive because it will go into shock immediately.
Not to mention, they planned to hunt only baby giraffes today, which would make it easier.
However, before the lions could start to move, a noisy sound of "Ah Ah Ah" was heard in the distance.
It was the group of wild dogs I saw by the river last time. It turned out that the wild dog queen also took a fancy to this mother and child giraffe.
This is nothing, our own lion group has not taken any action yet, and wild dogs also have the right to hunt.
But the wild dogs have exposed their whereabouts, so it is difficult for the lion group to set off now, and the other giraffes have all run away.
Wild dogs' hunting efficiency in the wild is much higher than that of lions, almost reaching 90%. In other words, any prey selected by wild dogs will be caught by them unless special circumstances occur.
What kind of teamwork ability is this!
The lions were not that hungry. After all, they had already eaten two meals of antelope in a row. Now they had no better target, so they decided to stay for a while and learn how to unite like wild dogs.
The wild dog queen issued an order to the tribe: "Oh oh oh oh——"
The tribe, which consisted of about thirty wild dog members, received the order and began to deliberately create chaos to completely separate the mother and child so that they could attack them one by one.
Yes, Qiao Jinnian saw that this wild dog queen wanted to take everything.
However, looking at the number of nearly 40, they do need a lot of meat.
However, wild dogs are too small and short after all. Although they are really united, injuries are inevitable.
In order to protect her cub, the mother giraffe stretched out her legs and stomped hard on a wild dog soldier on the ground.
After being stepped on several times, the unfortunate wild dog was covered in blood and lay motionless on the ground.
The Wild Dog Queen was very angry when she found out that she had lost a soldier. However, when hunting such a large animal, sacrifice was inevitable. She immediately adjusted some of her commands: "Oh oh oh oh——"
At the command, the wild dog soldiers no longer tried to separate the mother and child. Instead, all of them started to bite the giraffe mother and child.
Can you imagine being surrounded by nearly 40 wild dogs and starting to bite your legs from all directions?
Qiao Jinnian was about to suffer from claustrophobia when she saw this scene.
The mother giraffe was in trouble. When the wild dog queen gave the order this time, the mother giraffe was completely helpless. There was only one of her, but there were so many wild dogs. How could she possibly beat them all?
