Chapter 70 Kruger Lion (Seventeen)
Post title: The rebellious lion Ochi has killed another male lion and several lion cubs less than two years old, and the central lion group has suffered heavy losses.
1L: Oh my god... why is it Ochi again?
He clearly has his own territory and mate, and has no shortage of food.
Why are you unwilling to protect the lion group, but instead go looking for trouble with other lion groups?
7L: If Ochi did that, he wouldn't be called the 'rebel lion'.
Not long after Oki was born, all his brothers and sisters died. He had no playmates since childhood and was called "Lonely Oki".
When he grew up, Ochi bit his father, uncle, and brother to death, and attacked four lion groups in succession.
After failing in his first two challenges, everyone thought he would be satisfied once he got the territory.
The third time was successful, and Ochi defeated the Lord Lion.
But he did not stay with the lion group. Instead, he chose to continue wandering and formed an alliance with wandering male lions (?).
But Ochi later bit all his allies to death, which completely subverted our understanding of male lions. Generally speaking, male lions will not betray their good brothers.
After the fourth successful attack on the lion group, Ochi stayed.
At that time, everyone thought that he would become a powerful lion king and stay to protect the lion group.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, Ochi bit his former partner and cub to death. This behavior also overturned human's understanding of male lions.
In short, Ochi and Prince are two extremes, they are both atypical Leos.
15L: Oh! No! I refuse to compare Ozzy to Prince!
Although they are equally powerful and handsome, the prince is much gentler than Ochi and is loyal to his partner, which is why so many girls are fascinated by him.
20L: Reply to 15F, you have to admit that both of them go against the traditional character of the lion.
Having said that, Ochi also has many fans who admire him.
29L: Is now the time to discuss the number of fans?
Ochi completely destroyed the central lion group, causing the balance of the entire area to be disrupted!
If Ochi continues to act as he pleases, the next target he might attack is the Tommy lion group that the prince is in.
36L: I must correct the statement on the 29th floor. The central lion group was not completely destroyed, and there are still lioness and missing cubs.
Assuming the lioness follows her instinct and accepts Ochi as the new leader, a new central pride will be born.
47L: Even if the lioness follows her instinct, Ochi will not follow his instinct.
Don't forget, he has killed his mate and his own cubs. There won't be any new lion groups!
61L: Floor 47, calm down! That incident was later confirmed, because the lioness left the group to give birth and did not return until some time later.
Ochi mistook them for foreign lions, so he attacked.
79L: Reply to post 61, that is just human’s subjective guess. Lions can identify their own kind by smell, so how could they not recognize their mate?
Tommy returned to the lion group four months later, and the lioness Dora also gave birth away from the group, and the cub she was carrying was not Tommy's.
When Dora returned, Tommy still recognized his partner by smell and accepted her.
If every male lion was like Ochi, lions would have been extinct long ago!!!
90L: Well... I am a supporter of White Lion Yunduo, and I only started paying attention to lions recently.
I wonder, will that dangerous lion hurt my little cloud?
107L: 90th floor, I’m sorry to answer you: Yes.
Ochi is a ferocious lion who won't stop fighting.
If he attacks the Tommy Lions, your clouds will surely suffer.
113L: Xuexue! My Xuexue!
No...he's still a baby QAQ...who will stop Ochi!
126L: According to the regulations of Kruger National Park, we cannot interfere with the behavior of wild animals.
Tommy's pride had too many lions that I liked, and a whole litter of cubs, and now they were all gone.
134L: What are you pessimistic about?
Tommy's lion group has two lion king-level lions and three sub-adult lions. It should be more than enough to deal with one male lion, right?
148L: The last lion group that Ochi challenged had four adult male lions, but he still lost.
156L: But...Tommy Lions has Xuexue.
165L: Yes! Xuexue is awesome!
He once helped Electro fight the hyenas, and was also involved in the fight between Tommy and the former Lions Alliance, so there will be no problem!
172L: The cloud fan filter is really powerful. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot change the fact that he is a little lion less than one and a half years old, not even a sub-adult male lion.
What can your Xuexue do when facing the powerful and battle-experienced Ochi?
183L: Can I...steal chocolate?
196L: Hahahaha!
I was very worried about Xuexue, but when I saw the 183rd floor, I suddenly laughed out loud.
204L: Are there any tourists going to Kruger Park? I will sponsor a box of chocolates for free, please help me deliver it to Yunduo!
219L: Don't joke, such a large dose is equivalent to poisoning the local animals.
228L: Dear friends, there is no need to be too nervous. Wild animals have their own survival rules.
Lions have existed for millions of years, and Ochi is definitely not the only 'rebel lion'. However, this race still continues, so believe them.
235L: Agree with 228th floor.
Moreover, various data show that the two atypical male lions, Ochi and Prince, are almost the same in weight, tooth length and bite force.
If they really meet, it's hard to say who will win or lose.
241L: Various data also show that as a white lion, Xuexue’s data has surpassed the prince in the same period.
Especially his mane! So charming!
The first time I saw a lion, his mane had just started to grow and he was already very handsome with no awkward period at all. Xuexue is absolutely my dream cat!
250L: So, you haven’t decided whether to call her Yun Duo or Xue Xue today?
.
Yu Yijun from 'Snow Clouds on the Grassland' stayed up late to join in the fun, but was caught by the rebellious lion Aoqi. She was so scared that she hid behind the photographer for protection.
Crazy Pig's Behavior: Can't See Me... Can't See Me...
No matter how crazy Ochi is, he wouldn't dare to attack the photographer, right?
Ochi slowly licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, withdrew his gaze, seemed to have no interest in the underage lion cub, and turned around slowly.
The only six remaining lionesses of the South Bank lion group guarded the remains of the lion king and two lionesses, huddled together to comfort each other like frightened big cats.
Seeing Ochi coming towards them, some of the lionesses even began to tremble, and they lay down submissively, shivering, to express their submission to the new lord.
Ochi did not look at them, nor did he seem to have any intention of staying. He slowly left with scars and blood all over his body.
Witnessing this scene, both the photographer and the lion were stunned.
Since Ochi didn't want to occupy the lion group, why did he attack the leader lion and bite the lioness and cubs to death?
There is no answer to this question.
After making sure that Ochi had gone far away, one of the lionesses dared to lower her voice and call her hidden cub.
Soon, a few surviving cubs appeared, and they seemed to be safe and sound.
The baby lion didn't know what was happening and ran to his mother.
Spotting some pieces of meat on the ground, the cub opened his mouth and was about to eat them, but was stopped by the lioness.
In seasons when food is scarce, lions eat their dead companions.
The lionesses on the south bank couldn't bear to see the father and son eating each other.
She quickly shook off her grief and fear, pulled herself together, and the sisters hunted together for their cubs.
The lord lion is dead, and it's the lioness' turn to defend the territory and cubs!
Yu Yijun looked at the lionesses' backs, which were still brave and strong, and felt a little uncomfortable. She returned home slowly with her tail hanging down.
As soon as they stepped into the territory of Lower West Coast, four overly energetic kittens immediately spread their paws and ran over, circling around their brother's legs.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, my younger brother and sister are already four months old, and their desire to explore the world has reached its peak.
If parents are not careful, their children may easily slip away.
Fortunately, there are many lions in the Lower West Coast territory, and the natural enemies nearby that might threaten the little lions dare not target the cubs for hunting, which makes them even more unscrupulous.
"Ah!" Brother!
"Boo~" So boring~
"Woo!" Play with me!
"Ha——!" The enemy beasts retreated!
Among the four cubs, the fastest growing lioness is a replica of Dora. She has been aggressive and aggressive since she was a child, and has a queen-like demeanor.
The other three are all boys, the slowest growing one is just like Chouchou, lazy and spoiled whenever he gets the chance. The other two male lions are clingy, especially Yu Yijun.
Whenever the pig stays in the territory, the lion baby will turn into a cat-shaped pendant in minutes.
Yu Yijun had just returned home, and his body was covered with kittens, which made him feel much more relaxed.
The piglet swung its tail as a toy for its cubs, licking their fur one by one, frantically replenishing its cute energy.
While sucking the cubs, the images of several little lions from the south bank lion group emerged in Zhumi's mind, and he felt a little worried.
They were lucky and managed to survive.
At the same time it is unfortunate.
If a lion group loses its leader lion and encounters an invasion, the little lions will become the main targets of attack.
Yu Yiyun was determined not to let such a situation happen to the lion group on the lower west bank.
The years when she was a wolf were very heavy lessons for Yu Yiyun.
He thought he was safe from harm, but in fact he was just waiting to die.
If you want to protect your family, you must learn——
Show your claws to your own kind!
.
Over the next few months, the dry season steadily took hold, and the lower reaches of the river dried up completely.
The two lion groups downstream, which had already formed a de facto alliance, found themselves in a difficult situation and had no choice but to move upstream one by one.
At first, the big cats were a little nervous and were very cautious every time they hunted.
After all, the area above is the south bank lion group. Big cats hunting in other animals' territory is almost like robbing a house.
Lions have no concept of "breaking into a house", but they also know that breaking into another lion's territory is against lion ethics.
Therefore, every time they caught prey, the lions would immediately evacuate quickly and would not start the feast until they were far away from the south bank lion group.
Even so, the smell and blood they left behind must have alarmed the lion group on the south bank.
The strange thing is that after half a month, the lion group on the south bank still didn't react.
You know, the Lord Lion has a strong sense of ownership over his territory.
If other lions are found invading, even if they don't fight to the death, they will at least expel them.
Several big lions couldn't understand why, so they were still cautious every time they hunted, for fear of angering the South Bank Lord Lion.
Only Yu Yijun knew that the lion group on the south bank had suffered a severe blow, and now only the female lions were responsible for raising the cubs.
In order to protect their cubs, they were forced to restrain their nature and did not dare to fight with other lion groups at this time.
Even if both parties are very careful and try their best to avoid conflict.
But as time goes by, encountering each other is inevitable.
On this day, a pride of lions were chasing a very fast-running zebra and accidentally went deep into the territory of a pride of lions on the south bank.
A lioness on the south bank was resting. She smelled the scent of a foreign male lion in her sleep and was so frightened that she immediately got up and prepared to hide her cubs.
The mother cub looked around and found that the cub was gone. She was so scared that her hair exploded.
The six lionesses were very anxious!
You know, the cubs are the last hope of the lion group.
If a few cubs die, the bloodline of the previous lion king will no longer exist, and the South Coast lion group will face a second blow.
"roar……"
“Woo…”
The lionesses quickly got up and followed the smell to find the lost cubs, calling out.
After only half a minute of searching, the lioness discovered the cubs.
The little lions were attracted by the strange smell and sat in a row, and were -
Watching a group of foreign lions hunting.
The little lion, with no sense of crisis, got too close and almost put himself into the mouth of the enemy beast.
After the introduced lions eat the zebras, they can have them as dessert.
The female lions were terrified and bared their sharp fangs, rushing forward aggressively to protect their cubs.
"roar!"
The cub's mother roared and prepared to fight to the death with the enemy beast.
But when the lions on the other side heard it, they immediately grabbed the food with a guilty conscience and ran away quickly.
"Mi-wa!" The stealing was discovered!
"Roar!" Don't shout, run!
"Meow, meow, meow~" Why are you running so slowly?
Led by the three little ones, the lion group on the lower west coast quickly ran away.
The frightened lioness came to the little lion and found out that -
Each little lion was chewing zebra meat in its mouth, and no one knew who fed it.
Zhumi: That’s right, it’s me~!
The same thing happened several times later.
The little lions on the south bank have tasted the sweetness, and every time they smell the scent of foreign male lions, they will come over to sit and watch (wait) for hunting (throwing) and feeding.
Under the influence of the white lion, the lion group in the Lower West Coast no longer had the bad habit of attacking their cubs and ignored the little lions every time.
Yu Yiyun is an exception.
As we all know, Zhumi is a scumbag who gets bored easily.
She was tired of rubbing her younger siblings and leopard cubs, and she couldn't walk when she saw other leopard cubs.
Whenever the little lions appeared on the south bank, he would bring meat and feed them one by one.
As he was fed, the little lion almost treated him as his father and called him affectionately.
Daddy, stick with me~
Once, the lion group on the Lower West Coast finished hunting and was preparing to go home. A few little lions followed behind and almost left the territory.
Piglet was afraid that the lioness would find out that her cub had been abducted and would fight with her, so she used all means of coaxing and tricking him into sending her cub back.
He trembled as he approached the area where the lionesses were, fearing that his behavior of rubbing the little kitten would anger the lionesses and he would be surrounded and beaten up.
In fact, the lionesses had already smelled Yu Yijun's scent from the cubs, and they didn't react much when they saw him.
The mother cub took her baby back, and the other two young female lions came over and circled Yu Yiyun twice, with disappointment written all over their faces.
"Roar." You are too young.
"Ah." Yes, it's too small.
The lionesses had already concluded from the smell that Zhumi was an underage male lion.
After the death of the lord lion, many stray lions got the news and came to the south bank lion group to apply for the position of lion king.
The lionesses, focused on raising their cubs, refused.
It takes a long time for the cubs to grow, and other lionesses need to reproduce their own cubs.
Usually when this happens, the mother cub will take her baby away from the group and let the other female lions welcome the new male lion.
But it is the dry season now, and it is almost impossible for a lioness to survive alone with her cubs.
The other lionesses could only suppress their nature, sisterhood triumphed over "love", and were forced to be abstinent.
At this time, if a male lion appears, he will not harm the cubs and will even help feed them.
Even if the other party is a sub-adult male lion and does not have the ability to protect the family, the lioness sisters will make an exception and consider it.
The problem is…
The lions they like are not young, but 'young'.
"roar!"
The young lioness roared at Zhumi, scaring him so much that his ears dropped to the floor.
"Meow, meow?" Yu Yijun called weakly, thinking that her act of abducting the little lion had made the lioness unhappy.
Hearing the white lion's childish voice, the lioness became even angrier.
The young lion cub can't even "make do with it".
Several lionesses lost their dreams and drove the white lion away fiercely.
Yu Yiyun was confused and returned to his own territory in depression.
Unexpectedly, I would have to face the second and third tests.
Yu Yiyun was full and worried about Dianguang and the cubs who were still hungry, so she rushed over with some meat in her mouth to feed them.
Only 5% of cheetah cubs survive in the wild.
The seven cubs of Dianguang's family miraculously survived the two most difficult months of their lives with the joint care of their two mothers.
Leopard is weaned early and can learn to eat meat at two months old.
There were suddenly seven more mouths to feed in the house, and even with Dian Guang’s strong hunting abilities, it was still difficult to feed them.
Not to mention that this area is sparsely populated by animals. Sometimes you may not see a single sheep even if you wait for a whole day.
In the past, the cubs of Dian Guang could only go hungry and wait pitifully for their mother to feed them.
It’s different now!
They are very clever. If they can't get food from their mother's mouth, they will hop around to find their foster brother who will turn into a chubby baby if he just lies down and lets them rub him.
Perhaps because they grew up drinking lion milk, cheetah cubs are particularly receptive to lion's diet.
Even though the meat Yu Yijun brought was beyond the cheetah's normal diet, the cubs still smacked the food.
Today, Yu Yiyun and Chou Chou ran to the sand dunes, holding a large piece of zebra meat.
Before they made any sound, the seven cubs had already lined up and came out.
They have been eating well recently and are not that hungry. When they see their brother, they start to act coquettishly for a while.
One of the cubs went around behind Yu Yiyun and wanted to play with the fur ball that other leopard cubs could never play with.
I leaned over to smell it and found that the fur ball smelled bad, as if it had been sucked by another cat.
Moreover, the cats that sucked the fur balls before were not the same ones!!!
"Meow?" Brother, do you have a cat outside?
"Chu?" Who?!
"Oh, oh, oh..." Aren't we your only little kitties?
The leopards surrounded Yu Yiyun and accused him of being a scumbag who went outside to rub cats even though he already had a cat at home.
Yu Yiyun felt guilty, so she fed the meat to the cubs and told them that she had just made the same mistake that every cat slave would make...that's all.
Compared to lion cubs, cheetah cubs are much more independent.
They angrily refused Yu Yiyun's feeding and held the meat themselves, biting it with their little milk teeth, chewing and continuing to complain.
"Meow?" Yu Yijun was scolded so hard that she couldn't even raise her head, so she looked for Chou Chou for comfort.
"Meow!" Chouchou shouted loudly to express his appreciation for the good scolding.
"Meow!" Humph, you won't even let me play with the fur ball.
"Mia?" Am I not a cute little kitten?
"Ouch!" Get out! You little stinky cat!
Yu Yiyun played with them for a long time and finally coaxed Leopard into submission.
The pig returned home contentedly, and his cat-shaped pendants surrounded him, scrambling to get behind him to grab his tail, and then…
"Hmm?" My brother's tail was played bald?
"Oh?" Who's playing?
"Woo..." My brother has cats outside, and more than a bunch of them.
"Ha——!" The enemy beasts retreated!
“…”
At this moment, Yu Yiyun actually felt Zhen'an's bitterness.
It turns out that being a sea king is not that easy.
Even though she was trapped in a Shura field, Yu Yiyun still couldn't change her habit of rubbing little kittens. She tried hard to find a balance between the three litters of cats, and made raising kittens feel like an affair.
Thanks to his efforts, the three litters of cats grew up healthily and lived safely until the end of the dry season.
The calendar turned to October, and it had been a whole year since Yu Yiyun came to Kruger National Park!
The white lion, which just turned 20 months old, has thick mane and sharp teeth.
Although it is not yet sub-adult, its body shape is no different, and it is even better developed than most sub-adult lions.
Compared with other small lions, some people would definitely believe that Zhumi is an adult lion.
In October, the rainy season has not yet arrived, and it is the driest and most difficult time of the entire dry season.
This year's dry season was particularly long. Not only in the lower reaches, but even on the south bank in the middle reaches, there was a lack of flow and partial drying up.
Without enough water, the survival of wild animals will become extremely difficult.
In recent days, the lower west bank lion group has apparently discovered that even in the territory of the south bank lion group, prey has become scarce.
In order to find food successfully, they must travel long distances and migrate to upstream areas.
The problem is, they're not the only ones who think this way.
Other lion groups and stray male lions had the same idea.
The large-scale migration of lions once caused the density of lion populations in the upstream areas to increase significantly, exceeding the environmental carrying capacity, and danger occurred from time to time.
On that day, the lion group on the lower west coast searched in its own territory and the territory of the lion group on the south coast for a whole night, and the largest prey they encountered was the blackbuck.
The lion has expended too much energy and has no strength to chase the impala which can run at over 100 kilometers per hour.
Even if they could catch one, a lamb weighing less than 100 pounds would not be enough to feed the lions.
Helplessly, the lion group on the lower west bank could only drag their tired bodies and continue moving upstream along the river.
When we arrived near the Upper East Coast territory, dawn had just broken.
A hot wind blew towards us, bringing with it a hint of danger.
The sun slowly rises from the east, slowly illuminating this vast land.
Next to the river bank, there was a lion, still strong and sturdy even in the dry season, lying and enjoying his prey.
And under that lion, there was also a male lion lying.
There was no movement, and the stomach was empty.
Smelling the scent of its own kind, the lion slowly raised its head and looked straight over.
He looked towards the lion group, then met Yu Yiyun's gaze, his orange eyes as emotionless as last time.
Yu Yiyun narrowed his eyes.
He recognized the lion, Ochi.
After a few months, Yu Yiyun did not back down like she did last time.
Quinn had taught him that in a fight between beasts, the one who shows weakness is half the battle.
He strode to the front and bravely looked Ochi in the eye.
——My lion group is very powerful, if you have the guts, you can try it.
