Chapter 186 Kruger Lion (Twenty-three)
One cub, two cubs, three cubs… eighteen cubs.
Surrounded by the cubs, Yu Yiyun had the illusion that she was exiled to the North Pole to face the Fox Army.
However, the scorching sun overhead proved that this could not be the North Pole.
Yu Yiyun raised her cat-like head and looked at the little lion that was climbing up and down and stepping on her body. She had a deep question in her heart:
Aren’t these all my children?
Am I trying too hard?!
The lionesses huddled not far away to share the prey, with no intention of taking the cubs back to rescue the lion king from the dire straits.
“Ahhh!”
Yu Yiyun called for help, but no cat responded.
A cub that had not yet been weaned arrogantly climbed to the top of the lion king's head and nibbled his ears, with no regard for the lion's dignity at all.
After a while, another lion came running over.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, Yu Yiyun still easily recognized him: it was Chou Chou, the lion brother he depended on for survival.
At the critical moment, brothers are more reliable...
Before Yu Yijun could finish his thoughts, Chou Chou let out a "meow" and excitedly jumped onto his brother.

“Ahhh!”
Yu Yiyun jumped up immediately and kicked Chouchou away with her back foot.
Can a male lion weighing several hundred kilograms be the same as a lion cub?
This guy is already ten years old, but his personality has not improved at all and he is still as childish as when he was a kid.
For a lion, ten years old is like a fading sunset, with only a brief afterglow left.
Most male lions reach adulthood at the age of four and reach their peak at the age of six, but their glory can only last for a short two or three years.
The lions of the prairie rarely have a good end.
After their peak period, they will either be replaced by new male lions or be expelled from the lion group.
This new lion group, formed by the fusion of multiple lion groups in the ∩-shaped river channel, has overturned the rule that 'male lions cannot have a good end'.
The lion king is already ten years old, but there are no new little lions growing up trying to challenge the authority of the owner.
They can either stay in the pride and share the responsibilities of the family.
Or when you are old enough, you can embark on a new journey with hope and extend the footsteps of the Kruger Lion further.
In the past few years, the newly grown lion cubs have expanded their territory, not only opening up a migration route for the lions in the original ∩-shaped river channel, but also allowing the new habitat of the original only one lion group to expand like the veins of leaves, giving rise to several lion groups.
The leaders of those lion groups were all raised by Yu Yiyun himself.
He usually stays close to the native territory just to sneak in and act cute with the big lion, and has no intention of replacing him.
The past two times, a strange male lion followed the smell to Yubangkewei's territory. Just after uttering two provocative shouts, before the lion king stood up, the lion queen and a group of female lions surrounded him and pointed at the strange lion.
"Roar? Roar?" You want to be the lion king? You?
"Aoao." Too thin. I don't like thin cats.
"Mimi." With so many scars on your body, you must often lose in fights, right?
"Woo woo." Can you take care of your cubs? Who eats first at home?
The strange lion was suddenly surrounded by beauties. He felt that happiness came too suddenly and tried to exchange breath with the nearest lioness.
The lioness dodged in disgust and turned to complain to the queen lion.
"Huff." He's a scumbag, I don't like him.
“Roar——!” Get out——!
The lion queen gave the order and the lionesses rushed over and drove the strange lion out of their territory.
Yu Yijun came over lazily, stretched his neck to look at the strange lion's back as it walked away dejectedly, and looked at the lion queen curiously.
"Meow?" What is he doing here?
"Haha." It's none of your business, go play somewhere else.
"Meow~"Okay~
During his seven-year term as Lion King, Yubang Kewei had never experienced a real Lion King War.
The photographer who was responsible for filming the documentary about him made a comparison of the changes in Uboncovi over the years.
Supporters of other lion kings are worried that the lion king will be defeated one day and end up in a miserable situation.
However, there is only one worry for many Youbang Kewei mommy fans:
Baby, you really can't get any fatter!
Every time there is a 'Lion King Strength Ranking' on the forum, her son Yubang Kewei is seriously underestimated because he is as fat as a pig and has never fought a hard battle since he became an adult.
This has left the Yun mommies with no choice but to use the clip of Yubang Kewei when he was a child, fighting against Ochi, to prove that their own pigs... no, their own lion kings can also fight.
He just doesn't stand a chance!
Yu Yiyun doesn't care about the 'ranking of lion king strength' at all. Being able to protect the family from harm is the greatest honor of the lion king.
He kicked Chouchou hard twice, climbed up, shook his still thick mane, and prepared to visit the African grasslands he had not seen for a long time.
The piglet staggered to the edge of the territory and developed this huge tribe, not just guarding itself.
His first litter of cubs are now six years old and have grown into outstanding lions.
Among them, two male lions chose to stay in the family and protect the family with their father.
Behind them followed their younger brother, who was a little younger but whose mane had already begun to grow, and who was learning hunting from his older brother.
The reason why there has never been a conflict between father and son in the Ubangkwi lion group is that the lion king personally raises the cubs and teaches them survival skills.
Also, because the cub was two years old, the kind lion king never expelled his son, leaving the choice to the boy himself.
Not only did the Lion King not expel his own children, he didn't even expel other people's children.
At the beginning, there were too many female lions following him in the migration, and it was impossible for every one of them to become Yubangkwi's partner.
He is not that greedy, and he can't take care of it all.
In addition to Chou Chou, the lions that followed the migration included Tiezhu's family, the two survivors from the upper east coast, and the orphans of the lion group from the south coast.
Spring is coming, and it is the breeding season for lions.
The male lion on the East Coast is eager to date his former partner, but is afraid to touch the lion king's "reverse scale".
Lion King: I am not a dinosaur, how can I have a reverse scale?
The two male lions had no choice but to be sneaky and go on dates outside the territory with their partners in a very secretive manner.
When Youbang Kewei saw them running far away, he thought he had violated the "hidden lion rights" and felt very embarrassed.
The next day, noticing that the lion couple was becoming restless, the lion king took the initiative to leave and pretended to patrol the territory, leaving them a date place.
Gradually, the male lions realized that Yubangkewi did not intend to monopolize the breeding rights of the lion group.
There are so many beautiful lionesses in the lion group, we can't always rely on the king lion to provide genes.
When Tiezhu and Chouchou reached breeding age and the orphan from the south bank grew up, the new generation of lions quickly increased.
Yu Yiyun sighed.
Fortunately, fortunately.
If all the cubs were my children, the pressure would be too great and the old father would not be able to raise them.
Among the eighteen cubs, only two lionesses are descendants of Yubangkewei, and the other two are descendants of Chouchou.
The remaining 14 lions include descendants of the South Bank lion group and grandchildren of Yubangkowi.
The kitten that just stepped on the lion's head is the favored grandchild.
Grandparents are especially close.
Later, the children's father returned with the prey.
The lionesses are willing to help the lion king drive away the strange lions, not only because the lion king is strong enough, but also because under his leadership, the male lions have changed their overbearing and authoritarian faces and deeply understand the truth that "no hunting, no food".
The male lions in a pride never wait contentedly for the female lions to bring back food, and then rush over to be the first to enjoy it.
There are so many members in a lion group and they have to raise so many cubs, so every lion has to take on the task of hunting.
While the female lions are giving birth and breastfeeding, the male lions will consciously increase their hunting intensity to ensure that the cubs can thrive.
Smelling the scent of prey, the little ones couldn't wait any longer and ran towards their father and uncles.
"Beep beep!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
A few slightly older lion cubs, which have already started eating meat, are surrounding the male lion and acting coquettishly.
If it were any other lion group, this would never happen.
The noble lion king must eat first, and the cubs and the lioness who brings back food can only wait on the side for him to finish eating.
In seasons when food is scarce, male lions will even keep the food to themselves and not allow them to approach.
In response to the cubs' coquettish behavior, the male lions skillfully tore the meat into small pieces and fed them to the cubs.
When the lionesses saw that the cubs were being fed, they came up to the food without hesitation and enjoyed the delicious meat with big mouthfuls.
Halfway through the meal, a lion realized that the lion king was gone and roared twice into the distance.
“Ho ho!” It’s time to eat!
"Haha!" If you don't come over, you have to catch the rabbit by yourself.
The voice traveled far away, but there was no response.
Lions are used to it.
Our own lion king has lost his way again and I don’t know where he went.
Yu Yiyun unknowingly stepped out of the territory and walked a long way.
After seven years, the road leading to the river has changed a lot.
Due to the frequent migration of lions and elephants, a lot of excrement is left along the way.
The excrement of both carnivores and herbivores can nourish the soil.
In addition, there has been no severe drought in recent years, and last year the rainfall was even plentiful, so lichens are gradually growing on the barren land.
Yu Yiyun experienced the dinosaur era, so she understands the importance of plants more clearly.
The vitality of plants is the key factor in determining the regional food chain.
With the lichens, herbivorous mice and rabbits gradually appeared.
It is estimated that after some time, this barren land will have a complete and healthy ecological chain.
As Yu Yiyun thought about it, she became a little fascinated and walked a long way away unconsciously.
A little further away, there is a small water source.
African elephants, who have excellent memories, come here every year to fetch water.
Due to abundant rainfall in the past two years, the puddle gradually expanded and formed a small pond.
With water and plants, this place can already accommodate slightly larger animals.
For example, lambs, servals, and... cheetahs?!
A golden shadow flashed before Yu Yijun's eyes. He saw the cheetah flying past and his eyes widened in horror.
Although the cheetah is a smaller cat, it can be called a big cat after all.
Not to mention whether the emerging environment can support the needs of cheetahs.
This place is far away from the cheetah's active area. Why would a single cheetah go against its nature and come to a place where it is not adapted?
"Meow~"
The cheetah noticed Yu Yijun and suddenly stopped, wagging its tail and coming to his side, clinging to the big lion as usual.
Yu Yiyun was shocked.
He recognized the cheetah as Electric Mommy.
Two years ago, Dian Guang completed the last reproduction of the leopard's life, raised the last litter of cubs, and resolutely embarked on the migration journey that the lion group had taken.
She had no idea of the road ahead.
But she longed to be there.
If lions can go, why can't cheetahs go?
Yu Yiyun didn't know the whole story, but he immediately guessed why the lightning appeared here.
He rubbed against the big cat, whose voice was still clear even though it was old.
"Meow~"
Mommy, I'll catch a rabbit for you to eat~
