Chapter 59 Kruger Lion (VI)
The Wandering Lions Squad got lucky!
The zebras hunted in other beasts' territories neither attracted the hyena pack nor were they discovered by the lord lion on the east coast.
Only a lioness from the East Coast came over following the scent, and then ran away following the scent.
Lioness: I found three bachelors ahead, let’s run away!
The dry season was still in full force, and the lioness was not willing to start a fight at this time.
The three wandering musketeers encountered no resistance and occupied the zebras and the water source with peace of mind. Not to mention how moisturized they were, even their dreams were filled with the beauty of spring.
It was not until Sanmao heard the white lion's grunting and calling that he licked the saliva from his lips and ran over to the sound to check the situation.
As soon as he moved, the professor woke up immediately, yawned, washed his face, and followed slowly behind him.
Tommy's hind legs were not fully healed yet, so he moved the slowest.
The old father, with the stubbornness of a father, greeted his two sons from a distance, strengthening the (what he thought was) increasingly deep father-son bond.
"roar!"
Dabao and Xiaobao, Daddy loves you~!
As their old father called them affectionately, Dabao and Xiaobao both ran over, and then...
Both of them ran around Tommy and headed towards the wooded area.
Tommy was left alone, embarrassed, licking his paws and pretending to wash his face.
Cats will pretend to be busy when they are embarrassed.
Tommy looked around and saw the photographer pointing his camera at him.
The former lion king meowed loudly, just like a male celebrity who was photographed by paparazzi peeing in the street.
What are you shooting!
The Lion King has no face!!!
At the same time, Tommy's two little kids were chasing each other and jumping away from their old father.
Zhumi and Chouchou didn't dare to run too far. As soon as they stepped into the area with lush grass and lush water, they began to search in meow mode. They transformed into cats and bugs and crawled forward, carefully looking for the rabbit's nest.
The pig, who has nearly ten years of experience in catching rabbits, knows very well that wild rabbits will dig their nests in hidden areas with soft soil, such as hills, grass slopes, or at the bottom of tree roots.
The African hare is a nocturnal animal and is hard to come across during the day, as if its population is very small.
In fact, hares are one of the most widespread animals on Earth, much more widespread than lions, tigers, and gray wolves.
The rabbit family has a strong reproductive ability. Male rabbits can reproduce anytime and anywhere. Female rabbits have double uteruses and can raise two litters of cubs at the same time. It is difficult for them not to have many rabbit grandchildren.
In Africa, rabbits and rats are as important as rice, and their main feature is that they are large in quantity and can fill you up.
With his rich experience in catching wild rabbits, Yu Yiyun successfully dug out the rabbit's nest and forced out the sleeping rabbits inside.
As Bunny cursed, Chouchou couldn't wait to push forward and confidently stretched out his claws...
"Mia-wah!"
Accompanied by Chou Chou's screams, Tutu jumped onto his forehead and performed Yu Yiyun's original special move online - Rabbit, Zi, Kick!
The frequency of the authentic rabbit kicking was very high, and Chouchou was kicked so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, and missed the best opportunity to catch the wild rabbit.
Sanmao and the professor turned back and found that the eldest brother's kid wanted to catch a rabbit, so they rushed over to help without saying a word.
There are far more hares in the African grasslands than lions.
During the growth stage of the little lion, it more or less used the rabbits near the nest to practice its hunting skills, but it always lost more than it won.
Not only did they fail to catch many rabbits, but they also helped the hares develop a set of tactics to deal with lions.
The lion's sharp teeth and claws have maximum attack power, and they are almost always effective against large prey. Large lion groups even dare to hunt old, weak, sick and disabled individuals such as African elephants.
But it is cumbersome to deal with small prey. The huge cat claws are not agile enough to catch the overly agile hare.
The hare moved in a charming way, moving between the professor and Sanmao, and also seduced the eager Chouchou, thus forming a stable situation of three cats standing side by side.
Yu Yiyun, who was watching, heard three consecutive meows. A few idiots bumped into each other in a mess, and the hare took the opportunity to escape.
"Meow, meow, meow!"
The scene was so funny that Yu Yiyun rolled on the ground laughing and had no energy to chase the rabbit.
Piglet lay there, watching Rabbit open the MVP settlement page, and ran away arrogantly with a step that showed he didn't care about anyone.
Oh.
The king of beasts is nothing more than this.
"Wow!" Chouchou looked for the rabbit for the whole night and finally saw the shadow of a rabbit, but he only met Maomao. He was so angry that he broke down and cried loudly.
Yu Yiyun finally laughed enough and raised her paw to pat her stupid brother.
The poor little kitten, with no companions or lions around him, wanted to practice hunting through rabbits, but ended up crying because of his own lack of skills.
Yu Yiyun, 'the best brother in Africa', meowed to comfort him and told him to cry away so as not to affect his performance.
Too green, can't carry it.
Chouchou: “…”
So love will disappear, right?
Yu Yiyun chased Chou Chou away, then ran to a tree root farther away and gently dug up the soft soil with her claws.
Before Chou Chou could see clearly, the rabbit in the nest had been pulled out by its ears.
It was only three seconds after being pulled out that it reacted, and its small eyes stared straight into the white lion's light blue pupils.
Rabbit:……!!!
Today's wake-up call was a bit too exciting.
Yu Yiyun blinked and gave Tutu a beautiful wink.
Dear, let’s learn about painless rabbit catching~
Your relatives in Asia and America have all given it a favorable review!
The jokes about hell were so outrageous that even Tutu was amused. When he was placed in front of Chouchou, he was so scared that he could not move and just pretended to be dead.
On the contrary, Chouchou acted as if facing a formidable enemy. He kept a safe distance of 0.5 meters from the rabbit and tried to touch it with his paws.
As soon as I pulled it, the rabbit kicked its four legs and its body became stiff.
"Mim, meow!" Chouchou used his soft paws and scratched the rabbit's body alternately with his left and right paws, making the rabbit's body even harder.
Usually, when they are not hungry, the little lions hunt rabbits for fun rather than to fill their stomachs.
Chouchou works all night long looking for hares, mainly to play with them... no, to practice hunting.
Now, the wild rabbit died before it even had time to play. Chouchou seemed to have suffered a great injustice and turned to his brother for comfort.
Just as he turned around, the originally stiff hare opened its eyes, performed a resurrection-on-the-spot performance, and ran desperately while Chou Chou was unable to react.
Really runs faster than a rabbit.
The aggrieved "meow" of Chouchou was stuck in his throat, and the lion watched the rabbit disappear into the grass, completely dumbfounded.
"Meow, ow, ow!" Yu Yijun rolled over on the ground laughing again, and refused to catch the rabbit for him no matter what.
Silly brother's hunting ability is comparable to that of the wolf cubs in Yellowstone Park.
Even if he dug up all the rabbit nests in the grassland, the good lion would definitely release them all.
It’s better to skip the middle step and let the rabbits sleep well.
Not only Bunny needs a good sleep, the good African brother who stayed up all night with his silly brother is about to get dark circles under his eyes.
He was born with white hair, and if he really had dark circles under his eyes, tourists would definitely think that the panda's diplomatic business was carried out on the African savannah.
Before she was too sleepy to death, Yu Yiyun showed her pig nature and took a few bites of zebra meat.
With the last bite of zebra meat still in his throat, he rested his head on Chouchou's body, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
A few days ago, while staying in Dian Guang's territory, Yu Yiyun had to keep one eye on guard every night before going to bed, for fear that his second brother's army, who did not follow the moral code of martial arts, and his dog would secretly attack him in his sleep.
Now, there are three lions guarding them. Unless the hyenas are infected with rabies, they dare not easily provoke so many big cats.
Yu Yiyun was confident that she would be able to get a good 18 hours of sleep today.
Little did he know that before it got dark, bursts of lion roars disturbed his sweet dreams.
“Ouch…”
Yu Yiyun realized that the lion's roars were getting closer and closer, and he rolled over and got up in fear.
Several lions surrounded the remaining zebras, seizing the last chance to grab a few more bites.
The roar came from a group of lions on the upper east coast, and they are the dominant animals here.
The wandering team just wanted to get some free food and drinks, and had no intention of getting into conflict with the lord lions, so they tacitly prepared to eat and slip away.
The pig realized that danger was approaching, and even though his stomach was full, he still pounced on the meat and devoured it in big mouthfuls.
While eating, Chou Chou let out a low growl, as if scolding himself: You dead mouth, hurry up and eat!
30 seconds before the lion group from the upper east coast arrived, five male lions with amazing appetites ate two more zebra legs, leaving 1/4 for the leader lion group as rent.
Several leading lions came running over and found that they could have the feast on the spot. Their anger immediately subsided and they roared twice symbolically, warning the stray lions not to come again next time.
If you come again... pay more rent!
Do you understand the ways of animals?
Realizing that the lord lion had no intention of pursuing him, Tommy, who had run thousands of meters away, lay down, panting with exhaustion.
The younger brother behind him also lay down on the spot.
Yu Yijun hid among the three lions and looked at the lion group on the east bank from afar.
There are a total of four male lions surrounding the zebra. Judging from the condition of their manes and canine teeth, they should be a father-son alliance.
The older male lion unceremoniously occupied the best eating position, while the other three male lions quietly lay at the head and hoof positions.
Most male lion alliances on the African savannah are like these, dominated by the oldest or most powerful male lions, with eating and courtship taking priority.
Although the lion, who is in a disadvantaged position, has to give up some rights, he can still enjoy the benefits of the alliance.
If a male lion forms an alliance with his father, he will not be expelled even when he grows up and will not suffer the pain of wandering.
Therefore, the weak male lion is willing to give up the priority of eating and courtship rights to the strong male lion.
After all, the lion alliance is a community of interests, sharing food and mates.
Even worse than the weak male lion are the group behind.
Smelling the prey, the lion queen rushed over with a few cubs who were just beginning to learn how to hunt.
Upon noticing that the male lion had already started eating, a sub-adult lion cub could not resist the temptation and approached the zebra tentatively.
Before he got close, one of the lions started up its king engine and roared loudly.
The other lion stood up and angrily chased after the lion whose mane had just begun to grow, intending to force him to leave his territory.
The little lion, who was temporarily unable to be independent, quickly hid behind the lioness.
The lion queen protected the little lion and roared at the male lion in the middle gate.
The Lion Queen is responsible for leading the hunting team and managing the family, and holds a pivotal position.
The lion obviously lost the argument and returned to the prey, wagging its tail.
The remaining zebra meat was obviously not enough for the lion group, and the lord lion had no intention of sharing it.
The lion queen knew what kind of people they were, so she took her sisters and little lions to the river to hunt.
Yu Yiyun excitedly propped himself up and took a few steps forward.
After being a big cat on the grassland for half a month, this was the first time I saw a live lion group hunting.
So excited!
Compared to most male lions who live off their wives, female lions are all good hunters.
The lion population on the Upper East Coast has undergone changes over the past few decades, with several batches of male lions coming and going.
But apart from the normal birth, aging, illness and death, there is basically no major change in female lions.
There are more than twenty adult female lions on the upper east coast.
Except for old, young or injured lionesses, the rest of the lionesses move out in groups, and even African elephants have to avoid them when they see them.
The iron-blooded female army arrived at the river bank, locked their hunting target on a five-meter-tall giraffe, and quietly deployed a hunting formation.
There are a lot of prey animals on this river bank. When they smell the scent of lions, most of the herbivores flee in panic.
They were afraid that if they took a step with their left leg first or breathed air, they would be chosen by the lions as dinner.
The giraffes also fled with the group, and the river bank was in chaos for a while.
Little did the prey know that making them into a mess was exactly the original goal of the lion group.
The lion group on the Upper East Coast is too large, and the hiding hunting method of ordinary cats is not applicable to a huge lion group of twenty members.
After repeated practice, the lion group gradually began to create chaos with a purpose.
In the chaos, every prey has the chance of being lucky enough to find that the target is not me.
Lions will also use sleight of hand to pretend to chase a few prey other than their target in order to lower the target's own defensiveness.
The Lion Queen is very confident.
This time, no one could guess that my target was the giraffe!
——Who said that?
Yu Yiyun, who is 8 months old and has 35 years of work experience, judged almost from the beginning that the lions were surrounding the giraffes from all directions based on their activity direction and behavioral trends.
Poor giraffe, he thought he was safe when he saw the lioness chasing the wildebeest in front of him.
As soon as it slowed down, the queen lion and another lioness jumped up at the same time, using the jumping power of the frightened beast to bite the part connected to the giraffe's neck.
This was not the first time that the lioness group had hunted giraffes. Each cat knew its position and pounced on the giraffes in a well-trained manner.
At first, the giraffe planned to use its height and weight to knock the lion off its back.
Soon, more and more cats fell on it, causing it to bend its legs and cry out in pain.
The moment he saw its body lowered, Yu Yiyun knew that this beautiful hunt was over!
The lioness lived up to her title as the top hunter on the grassland. With perfect coordination and powerful strength, she successfully got tonight's feast...
Well.
Haven’t gotten it yet.
The lionesses had just finished hunting when four male lions, who had just eaten zebras, swaggered over, pushed the lionesses away with their butts, and unceremoniously took priority in enjoying the prey.
The lioness, who had just consumed too much energy and was in urgent need of food, slowly approached the male lion tentatively.
Seeing that the other party was docile, was a lioness, and the prey was big enough, the bad-tempered male lion finally did not drive away the lioness who was approaching.
Upon seeing this, the other lionesses gathered around to enjoy the venison.
Although the sub-adult male lion did not contribute much effort, he exhausted himself and followed behind his mother to prepare for the meal.
As soon as the lion squatted down, the eating lion's face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and bit the little lion hard, causing the little lion to cry out in pain.
The lioness quickly protected the little lion, took him to hide in an area far away from the male lion, and licked her child with heartache.
Even if the child is not in danger for the time being, the lioness knows that the male lion will not be able to tolerate him for much longer.
The Lion Queen stopped eating and took in this scene, her eyes suddenly becoming desolate.
History repeated itself at the end of the dry season when food was scarce.
The male lion once again turned into a tyrant, plundering the lion group's resources with impunity.
Even now the lion group on the upper east coast is strong enough to provide sufficient food.
What if you encounter a natural disaster, illness, or accident?
The lion queen's eyes gradually turned cold as she swept over the four lions.
They seemed to have forgotten how they joined the East Coast lion group.
Two years ago, when the queen was still a young lioness, her family also encountered a brutal male lion.
She saw her sisters and cubs starving and their vitality decreasing, and finally made a bold decision in silence.
The lion queen took the initiative to contact the stray male lion, and worked together with the lion group to expel the tyrant from the country.
Now, it's her turn to make a choice again.
The Lion Queen stood up silently, walked to her sad sister, and rubbed her gently.
Her determined eyes scanned the surroundings and fell on the stray team that was only a thousand meters away.
The Lion Queen's sharp eyes swept over them one by one.
The two sub-adult male lions had no idea what the sudden female gaze meant, but instinctively straightened their chests to accept the queen's inspection.
The Lion Queen shook her head in disappointment.
——Their manes are so funny.
When given the choice, female lions are mostly obsessed with looks.
There was a male lion in the zoo. Although he defeated all his competitors, the female lions were unwilling to pay attention to him because he looked too funny.
Every time he returned victorious, the lionesses would face the wall together and push and shove each other.
If they could talk, they would definitely squeeze each other:
'Your husband~'
'Your husband!'
The Professor and Sanmao's manes haven't fully grown yet, which really affects their appearance. The Lion Queen looked at them for 0.3 seconds before looking away.
She looked at Tommy, her gaze lingering a little longer.
But Tommy did not respond to the Lion Queen's gaze, as he still had the lofty dream of "recovering lost territory and giving his son a complete childhood" in his heart.
Plus, the Lion Queen noticed that he looked OK, but his tail was missing a piece.
Can a tail that is missing a piece still be called a tail?
After the cubs are born, they will definitely ask their mothers: Why do my classmates in kindergarten have fur balls to play with, but I don’t?
The lioness thought about it and gave Tommy a big X.
After ruling out the three big ones, the lioness moved her gaze downwards and saw a small cat that didn't look very smart.
Too stupid to do that.
Affects the IQ of offspring.
The lioness sighed and shook her head, feeling that life was difficult for a lion.
Male lions at home are unreliable, and wild male lions are equally unreliable, alas.
The Lion Queen turned around regretfully, facing the river bank, and was caught off guard by a furry figure.
Yu Yiyun had just seen the lion hunting scene, and his blood was boiling. He couldn't control the hunting impulse of a wild beast at all.
He was only eight months old, with only weight for weight, but his claws and teeth were not sharp enough, so he couldn't even deal with a giraffe calf.
Yu Yiyun had to settle for the next best thing and set his sights on a baby impala.
Just now the lioness army created chaos and the animals fled.
The young impala probably didn't run away quickly, and was wandering along the river bank, bleating.
Yu Yijun was not familiar with other prey on the grassland, but blackbuck was one of the cheetah's main diets and it ate a lot of it.
Adult impalas can run extremely fast, even reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour.
Moreover, the gestation period of black impalas is long, and the cubs develop relatively completely in the womb and can run within a few hours of birth.
Lions will not target healthy impalas as prey unless they have no other choice.
However, Yu Yiyun is not a native lion.
During the years when he was a dog, Yu Yiyun caught many pronghorn antelopes that ran as fast as impalas.
He took advantage of the scent of lions all around him to hide his own breath, and sneaked up on the impala from behind.
The little impala was completely unaware of the approaching danger and was only concerned with looking for its mother, even bleating loudly without caring about the consequences.
Just when it was at a loss, a rustling sound came from the grass, which seemed to be the sound of its mother running.
The impala was overjoyed and immediately ran towards that location.
Seeing that it was getting closer, Yu Yiyun quietly sharpened his claws and was about to pounce.
Sudden……
"Mia-wah!"
Chouchou couldn't find his brother, so he followed the smell and went behind a big tree, where he played hide-and-seek with his brother with great interest.
The impala found that there was no mother there, only a sinister and cunning lion, so it was scared and ran away immediately.
Yu Yiyun:!!!
How could he forget that the main reason why cats on the grassland fail in hunting is that the naughty children make trouble nearby and disturb the prey.
Yu Yiyun, who was so close to getting the claw and completing the first official hunt in her life as a lion, was so angry that she broke down and pounced on Chou Chou, rolling into the river with him in her arms.
Come on!
Let’s die together!
Chouchou was covered in water and meowed loudly in fear.
The cold-blooded brother refused to let him go. He took advantage of the clear river water and the hippos and crocodiles being scared away by the lions, and held Chou Chou's mouth, which had just eaten shit, and forced him to drink several gulps of water.
Chouchou was so miserable that he pounced on Yu Yijun, intending to retaliate against her.
As a result, Yu Yiyun lay in the water, happily performing backstroke, with her tail shaking happy waves.
The two cubs were having so much fun that they didn't notice the lion queen who was watching them closely on the shore.
The Lion Queen couldn't help but be attracted by the white lion in the water.
In terms of age, even if the little white lion doubles his age, he is still not qualified to become the leader of a lion group.
However, just in the past few minutes, the Lion Queen saw courage, wisdom and decisiveness in him.
In addition to its wonderful qualities, white lions also possess amazing running speed, climbing ability, and mimicry abilities.
He's not even afraid of water!
There is such a perfect cat on the grassland!
The Lion Queen couldn't help but secretly lament while she was praising him:
Even though he has the ability to become a lion king, he hasn't even grown a mane yet.
It is impossible for such a large lion group on the East Coast to wait for two years to welcome an excellent lion king...
The lion queen was lost in thought when she saw the white lion climbing out of the water and roaring at her from a distance.
"Ah!" Turn around!
"……?"
Before the Lion Queen could react, she heard screams of pain from behind her.
She turned around and found another sub-adult cub, who had obediently waited until the lord lion had finished eating before going over to eat with its tail between its legs, but was still bitten.
The one who bit the little lion this time was the dominant male lion, who demonstrated his paternal authority in this way.
At first, in order to fight for territory, the old lion had to share rights with his sons.
Now his territory is stable and he has many wives and concubines.
The male lion must warn his sons who are about to grow up, so that they don't follow his example and stay in his territory to eat and drink for free.
The lion queen turned around and saw her cub, bitten and bleeding.
The dog-male lion is committing domestic violence again, and his claws are hard!
