Chapter 61 Kruger Lion (VIII)
The little foreign kitten, who had no idea of its own strength or that of the enemy beast, was easily suppressed by Yu Yiyun, who was several months younger than it and whose mane had not yet grown, and lay on the ground, unable to turn over.
When Yu Yiyun heard the wailing, she eased off a little, fearing that she might hurt the kitten.
The foreign lion didn't believe it, and used all his strength to break free from the pig, then opened his claws and pounced on it again.
Then, he scored twice, three times... countless times.
Mei Kai played until the end, even Chouchou couldn't stand it anymore, and advised the foreign lion not to be stubborn and to be timid when necessary.
"Mi-wah!" Give it up.
There are always some hurdles in the life of animals that are difficult to overcome.
Chouchou spends every day with his brother, but he doesn't dare to "exchange martial arts" with his brother.
This is mainly because Yu Yiyun likes to be lazy when playing games, and always makes a fatal move.
He got beaten up a lot, but had no gaming experience at all.
“Roar…Roar!”
The foreign lion gathered its energy in its dantian, let out a childish roar, and pounced forward to launch its eighth attack.
It was getting late, and Yu Yiyun had to go home for dinner and was too lazy to deal with the elementary school kid.
The piglet dodged perfectly with its fancy moves, flicked its tail and ran away, leaving the foreign lion lying there, doubting its life.
“Roar…”
Looking at the white phantom going away, the foreign lion couldn't believe that the enemy beast just floated away like that.
It's not very harmful, but it's very insulting.
The little cat got up in annoyance, shook its head vigorously, turned around and ran back in the direction that did not belong to any lion group.
Across some kapok bushes, a young lioness was looking for her cubs.
The little lion immediately sped up and threw himself into his mother's arms, humming and acting coquettishly.
Soon, another male lion with lighter fur came slowly over and rubbed the lioness with his mane.
When I saw my son’s disheveled and dirty appearance, I knew he had lost the fight.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
The little lion, who had suffered so much injustice, seemed to have found a supporter when he saw his father. He hung his big head and complained to his father, exaggerating his miserable experience.
When the light-haired lion heard his son's nonsense, instead of venting his anger for him, he enthusiastically walked around his fat son twice and lowered his head to confirm his expression.
It’s like a famous bird emoticon: Wow, are you really crying?
The foreign lion felt even more aggrieved and buried his face in his mane, not wanting to see it in front of his biological father.
At this moment, he once again suspected that he had received the gift by buying cat food.
In the next few days, the foreign lions frequently roamed around the Dianguan territory, trying to defeat Yu Yiyun and regain their territory.
Chouchou is so happy!
After wandering for so long, he finally has a playmate of equal ability~!
Whenever the two cats meet, they will fight and roll around until one of them has to go home for dinner.
Over time, the two of them almost formed a tacit understanding and became each other's best classmates in kindergarten.
As for Yu Yiyun?
The foreign lions fought and were defeated over and over again, and each time they were defeated... they just lay down.
He finally learned to accept reality, and every time he was suppressed by Zhumi, he would immediately kneel down and admit defeat.
Then he put his head against Stinky Head and said bad things about the White Lion to his face.
'Your brother is so fierce!'
'Yeah, he's so fierce!'
'Your brother is not a good cat!'
"You are not a good cat! My brother is the best in the whole grassland~!"
Most of the time, Yu Yiyun was too lazy to join in the fun with the two of them.
As a vengeful little kitten, when he has free time, he will quietly approach the lion group on the lower west coast with stealthy steps.
After two failed attempts at the beginning, Piglet became even more curious about the native lion group.
After repeated visits, he finally figured out the return cycle of the native lion group and the size of its members.
That day, Yu Yiyun sneaked to the vicinity of the lion group on the lower west bank again, found a tree with the best view and hung himself on it, secretly watching the every move of the native lion group.
After several days of observation, Yu Yiyun discovered that the three new male lion leaders always wandered on the edge of the lion group, looking like an old couple who were in name only.
During the rainy season, prey is scattered, and many times, the three of them will separate from the lioness and hunt outside alone. It is obvious that their brotherhood is more important than "love".
That's normal.
Without the birth of cubs, it is difficult for male lions to integrate into the lion group. Even with cubs, some male lions still like to spend their days with their "good friends" and let the female lions endure the widowhood marriage alone.
There are a total of seven female lions in the Lower West Coast lion group, three of whom are slightly older and should be Zhumi’s mother and aunt.
Pig Holmes Mi used every possible means to reason, speculate, and analyze, and then... nothing happened.
With limited clues, Yu Yiyun, who has a low sensitivity to animals, scored a good score of 0 in the game "Guess Who's the Mommy".
[The cat is crying.jpg]
Piglet comforted himself optimistically: Forget it, if I can’t guess it, then I can’t guess it!
Anyway, the lionesses raise the cubs together, and no matter if they are moms or aunts, they are all big cats who have taken care of them before!
As for the remaining four young lionesses, it’s easy to guess!
They are two or three years old and appear to have just entered sexual maturity.
Considering the age of old father Tommy, the young lioness should be his daughter and his own sister.
The old father was very lucky and raised two sets of lovely daughters in succession.
Yu Yiyun carefully observed her sisters and found that two of them had lighter fur, and obviously they had inherited the white fur gene.
The other two sisters have normal fur color and are no different from ordinary lions.
It is reasonable to infer that white hair should be a recessive gene, and pure white hair is a recessive gene.
At this moment, Yu Yiyun seemed to be back in high school biology class, facing the yellow circle, green wrinkles and 9:3:3:1...
The pig shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the biological knowledge that the little lion didn't need.
He observed silently for more than ten minutes before climbing down the tree silently.
Even though Yu Yijun was stubborn and could run fast, he did not intend to challenge three lions alone.
Even if a cat has nine lives, by doing such a big thing, you will waste at least eight of them.
Forget it, forget it, let’s save the cat’s life.
Yu Yijun left the Lower West Coast territory quietly. Not long after, she found Tommy squatting there with a serious expression on his face and a look that told a story.
"Meow?" Pig tilted his head slightly.
With the arrival of the rainy season, prey can move around in a larger area. Stray lions no longer have to live in other animals' territories with their tails between their legs, but can hunt freely according to their own abilities.
At times like this, the advantages of the 'Three Musketeers of the Grassland' were fully demonstrated.
Most lion groups are mainly composed of female lions, who are responsible for hunting, making it seem that male lions are only interested in gigolos.
In fact, male lions will cooperate with each other. They are taller and more powerful.
The hunting success rate of multiple male lions is no less than that of a group of female lions.
Tommy has been with the two younger brothers for some time and they work well together.
They were responsible for driving away the prey, while Tommy was responsible for delivering the fatal blow. The same routine worked every time.
Finally, they bid farewell to the days of hunger and fullness. Tommy's injuries healed quickly, and the manes of the two sub-adult male lions grew well.
Whether it is animals or humans, after meeting their survival needs, they will naturally consider spiritual needs next.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about... that.
Tommy had just recovered from his injury and recalled the happy life with his wife and children by his side. He couldn't help but build up his own lofty ideals, and the idea of "recovering lost territory" was stirring.
Finally, Tommy couldn't control his longing for his hometown anymore and came to his former home, only to see his precious son walking out with heavy steps.
Looking at the white lion, the old father's eyes were filled with tears.
It turns out that not only he wanted to return home, his son also missed the place where he was born.
Tommy made up his mind again that he must regain his glory!
The March deadline has arrived, and this time, he is going to get back everything he lost!
The more Tommy thought about it, the more passionate he became. He walked towards the white lion and gently touched his head.
“Roar.”
Don’t be sad, baby, daddy will always be your reliable fortress.
"Meow?" Yu Yijun looked into Tommy's eyes which seemed to be filled with tears, and his cat face was confused.
What's going on?
I just squatted on the tree for two hours and my legs are a little numb.
Frankly speaking, Yu Yiyun has an indifferent attitude towards "recovering lost territory".
Piglet lived in the Lower West Coast territory for a total of 5 minutes, and it was difficult for him to develop a sense of belonging.
After many days of fooling around... no, field investigation, Yu Yiyun realized that the conditions downstream were really harsh.
During the dry season, water is scarce, prey is scarce, and the soil is infertile.
During the rainy season, the cost of hunting for lions is very high because the terrain is flat and the prey has a large range of activities.
He has no obsession with his 'birthplace'. Considering the survival of the entire lion group, he naturally prefers the rich territory upstream.
I frequently observe the lion groups on the west coast, mostly because the female lions here are my own relatives.
Yu Yiyun was keenly aware that her old father must have misunderstood something.
However, Zhumi did not intend to correct it.
From then on, Tommy seemed to be energized and hunted even harder.
The prey in his stomach had not been digested yet, so he took his two younger brothers to look for new prey.
Zhumi and Chouchou shamelessly ate the food and became fat and strong. They even ate some of the food and took it back to feed Dianguang.
Thanks to them, the skinny Leopard's waist became rounder and rounder, and the photographer who followed him even worried, "Honey, can you still run so fast in the future?"
The food crisis was temporarily resolved, but Yu Yiyun did not slack off in training Chouchou.
The rainy season is the best time to practice hunting.
Prey in peak condition can better hone the hunter's skills.
Although the number of failures in training the two cats far outweighed the successes, the progress was visible to the naked eye.
If they are lucky, they can also catch the lamb!
The frequency of sightings of introduced lions is increasing.
At the beginning, he just wanted to compete with Yu Yiyun because he was unwilling to accept the result.
Gradually, the foreign lions realized that they were not just playing and fighting, so they started to take it seriously and consciously demonstrated their various skills.
At first, Yu Yiyun was not very interested in the foreign lion because he looked too much like a spoiled mama's boy.
A mama's boy who is doted on by his parents will gradually become independent after he is at least two years old.
The foreign lion is only one and a half years old and will not be useful for at least another six months.
It was not until the foreign lion demonstrated his fighting and hunting skills that Yu Yiyun realized that he was quite capable.
The skills of the foreign lion are obviously not the fancy tricks learned by wrestling with lion cubs of the same age, nor are they the petty tricks of catching rabbits. Although he looks immature, he has obviously participated in hunting, or at least often watched big lions hunting.
Yu Yiyun finally became interested in the foreign lion and wanted to know which lion group the cub belonged to.
However, after Yu Yiyun had been fooling around, he looked around but could not find any lion group that was so good at educating their children.
It's strange.
Look at the appearance of the foreign lion, it is obviously being taken care of by a big lion.
However, he does not belong to any local lion group.
Could it be that there are still lion groups in this grassland that I haven’t discovered yet?
Yu Yiyun's curiosity was completely aroused, and she searched everywhere but couldn't find the legendary hidden lion group.
It was because of an accident that I saw the two parents of the foreign lion.
Recently, the Three Musketeers of the Prairie have been very active in hunting.
With their scale, as long as they successfully hunt a wildebeest or a zebra, they can rest assured for half a month.
However, there are two "filial sons" around him who not only eat a lot, but also steal their father's food to give to Baobao.
As a result, the three-lion group has to complete an average of one hunt per week to feed 5.5 mouths.
That leopard's 'small bird stomach' can barely be considered half a mouth.
On this day, the sudden rain had just stopped and the three musketeers of the grassland were searching for prey everywhere.
Zhumi and Chouchou followed behind them, ready to watch the big cat hunting and get a free meal as soon as possible.
It had just rained heavily and the ground was muddy, so many animals chose to hide from the rain.
The five lions searched for a long time without finding suitable prey. Unconsciously, they came to a kapok bush that they had never set foot on before.
Thousands of meters away, Yu Yiyun discovered a huge lion lying in the bushes.
It's not that he has good perception and can see through the lion's disguise at a glance.
Mainly because of the lion...it was a white lion, and the dark bushes couldn't hide its light-colored fur at all.
Zhumi sighed heavily, as if he saw the scene he was trying to disguise.
So, white really can’t be used as a protective color!
Yu Yijun sniffed carefully and found no smell of lion excrement around, so it seemed that this was not the territory he marked.
Even so, Tommy still stopped and looked at the lion in his prime carefully.
On the contrary, Chouchou was not afraid of death. He rushed forward a few steps and made happy noises.
"Wow~"Here I come!
"Roar!" Tommy was anxious and wanted to call his naughty child back.
After just two shouts, Chou Chou's call received a response.
He saw his best friend in kindergarten, the little foreign lion, crawling up from behind the lion.
Also crawling up was a beautiful lioness about three or four years old with very long eyelashes.
“Gurgle gurgle~”
When the foreign lion saw Chouchou, it ran towards him in surprise, with a look of joy on its face, as if "a good friend came to visit my home."
The two little lions circled around and sniffed each other's scent, then the foreign lion raised his cat face and called to the lioness, introducing his new friend.
He shouted so loudly that the sleeping lion was finally awakened. He lazily got up, shook his thick mane, and shook out at least three pounds of rain water.
Having just been rained on, the white lion's fur looks particularly bright.
He obviously knew that his fur was different from other lions and could not stand dirt, so he would find a place with a mat to sleep to avoid getting his fur dirty.
Some white lions with weaker survival abilities will deliberately roll themselves in mud in order to increase their camouflage.
Although the male lion's fur is not as white as Yu Yiyun's, it is already a very light golden color, which is particularly eye-catching when it moves.
In this case, the lion still keeps its hair clean, which means that it is very strong.
Yu Yiyun looked around and found no other companions except the two big lions.
The white lion walked up to his partner and displayed his clean mane like a peacock.
Zhu Mi stared eagerly, unsure whether he had encountered a miracle in the lion world—
A family of three?
It’s true.
Under the white lion's dense mane is a positioning collar, which was put on him by zoologists in order to study this unique white lion.
Netizens like his light golden fur and blue eyes very much, and named this white lion "Prince".
The prince did not belong to this savanna; he was born in another habitat hundreds of kilometers away.
It is closer to the equator and the climate is hotter.
In drought years, the rainy season lasts only two weeks or even less.
Also, because of the frequent appearance of black kites in the area, they set fires to drive away insects, resulting in frequent wildfires, making the situation for the animals extremely difficult.
Under such circumstances, the prince grew up smoothly and his physique was obviously superior to lions of the same age.
Netizens who closely followed the lion group were fully expecting the prince to challenge the lion lord and lead the lion group to survive in this desert.
But who would have thought that when he was just two and a half years old, he took the initiative to leave his original lion group, swaggered into the territory of the neighboring lion group... and left again swaggeringly.
When he left, he also kidnapped the lion king's precious daughter.
Given a choice, female lions tend to be obsessed with looks.
Sometimes, a female lion will even secretly date a male lion that she admired but lost the fight with.
It doesn't seem surprising that a lioness, who is used to living in a group, would leave the group for love.
In this way, the prince took the lioness and embarked on the migration route that his great-grandfather Ryan had once embarked on.
Eighteen years ago, because there had been no rain in the habitat for two consecutive years, the lion king Ryan led his family to migrate south and settled in the Kruger National Park, where the environment was better.
Before he left, a litter of sub-adult male lions that had already left home remained in their original habitat and survived tenaciously.
Ryan's migration not only found a way to survive for his own lion group, but also reduced the survival pressure of local lion groups, allowing them to survive the dry season and continue to reproduce.
The prince's white lion gene is the mark left to him by his great-grandfather.
Although both were migrations, the prince's honeymoon trip was much more relaxed than Ryan's.
As Africa industrializes and becomes more urbanized, there have been many sightings of the prince by locals and tourists along the way.
Sometimes, he and his partner would lie on the side of the road waiting for traffic to pass.
Sometimes, he sneaked into human villages in the dark to find water to drink.
If someone he meets calls him "Prince", the lion will respond with a purr.
Since the prince stayed away from people most of the time, he did not show any aggression towards humans.
Therefore, local animal protection organizations did not interfere with his migration, but secretly provided protection to prevent the precious white lion from being hunted.
For a few months, the prince's positioning collar stopped working and everyone thought something had happened to him.
Later, the prince appeared again with a furry little lion by his side, making everyone call him the "winner of lion life".
Not only did he have his wife to accompany him on his travels, but he also found time to have a baby!
After a migration journey that lasted two years and three months, the prince arrived in Kruger National Park.
Everyone thought that he would challenge the local lord, the Lion, just like Ryan did in the past.
However, as with all the habitats he had visited in the past, the prince intended to stay only briefly.
Not to mention challenging a pride of lions, he didn't even have the intention of marking his territory.
The prince chose to stay a few days longer because he was the only child in the family and had made some good friends in the neighborhood.
Noticing that Chouchou was running towards his cub, the prince came over with interest, sniffed Chouchou's scent, and quickly made a judgment:
The boy who beat my son till he cried last time was not this one.
He looked around with his light blue eyes and saw Yu Yijun, whose fur and eye color were almost the same as his.
When Yu Yiyun met his gaze, she realized that a lion could also have such rich expressions.
Although he wasn't smiling, Yu Yiyun could clearly see some mischief in his expression.
It's so indecent.
When old father Tommy noticed the strange lion approaching his son, he followed suit, with the emperor engine rolling in his throat.
The white lion on the opposite side did not respond, seemed to be indifferent, and even yawned lazily.
Tommy had just recovered from a serious injury and still had big dreams. He did not intend to clash with the strange lion.
He reminded Chouchou sullenly, signaling him to go hunting with him quickly.
After calling out three times, Chouchou remained indifferent.
Tommy was a little anxious and was going to use the piggy's trick and use his tail...
Tommy flicked his tail and froze.
He realized again that he had no tail.
The lazy white lion noticed Tommy's reaction and went around to look at his half-tailed body.
"roar?"
Hahaha, you have no tail!
“Roar~”
Fortunately, I have ~
Yu Yiyun had come into contact with so many big cats, but this was the first time she saw such a gloating and arrogant expression on a feline's face.
The prince was afraid that his expression was not obvious enough, so he turned around and swung his tail, shaking the plump fur ball in front of Chouchou's eyes.
Chouchou was instantly attracted and pounced over to reach the furry ball with his paws.
The little lion next to it had no reaction at all, and even looked indifferent to life and death.
Sure enough, when Chouchou was about to hit the ball, the naughty prince turned around flexibly and hid the ball of fur behind him, causing Chouchou to fall flat on his face.
His plan worked, and he smiled even more happily, using the natural cat teaser to seduce the piglet.
With the lessons learned from the past, Yu Yiyun already knew:
The cunning lion had no intention of letting himself play with the cat toy, he just wanted to tease the child and satisfy his own evil taste.
Knowing is knowing...
"Meow!"
Piglet pounced on it anyway.
What cat can resist the temptation of a cat teaser!
I saw the pig jump into the air and pounce to the left.
The prince swung the fur ball nimbly and hid it in the opposite direction.
He has played with his own kitten too many times and is very familiar with the basic routine of the kitten using the cat stick.
Unexpectedly, the little white lion, which had already jumped up, changed direction in the air and landed accurately on the other side.
This is a trick that Yu Yijun finally mastered when he was a dog, after suffering countless hardships at the hands of Quinn. It allows him to change direction in mid-air using the strength of his waist and abdomen.
The prince was briefly surprised, his body reacting subconsciously.
To avoid being touched by the pig, swing your tail back to the left.
Logically speaking, after jumping so high and missing the target, Yu Yiyun should have fallen to the ground like Chou Chou and would not be able to get up for a while.
How could the prince have imagined that what Yu Yiyun had learned back then was a silky little combo!
After he landed, he instantly launched a second attack, grabbing the prince's tail with all four paws and biting his fur ball.
"……roar."
Although the prince was cunning, he did not play tricks on the child.
Now that the fur ball had been caught, it resigned itself to just wagging the tip of its tail and letting the pig have its fun.
Chouchou and the little lion who were watching nearby had their eyes green with envy.
Especially Chouchou, he looked at the other person's father, and then looked at his old father Tommy, his face was full of disappointment.
"Roar." The foreign lion comforted him.
Don’t be sad, I can’t play with daddy’s furry ball either.
"Mia!" At least your dad has it!
