Tiger Dad and Baby Show is a Hit
After realizing that it was in the air, the young tiger's eyes suddenly widened.
It opened its mouth as if it wanted to say something, but the feeling of its neck being held made it hang stupidly in the tiger's mouth, its short limbs swaying as the tiger moved, like a doll.
During this short period of time, many thoughts flashed through Chenchen's mind.
Is it going to be eaten?!
Eh? It doesn't hurt. It was picked up. Where are you taking it?
Yes, is it to store food? Just like it used to hide the meat and save it for the next meal...
“Gugu——”
His stomach was growling because he hadn't eaten for a long time. The physical discomfort unknowingly overwhelmed his fear. Chenchen stuck out his tongue and was in a daze. This time, he was not so afraid of being eaten by his own kind.
After all, being hungry is uncomfortable.
The big tiger carried it for a while, and just when Chenchen thought it would go on forever on this road, it suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
Huh?!
The little guy's originally dull eyes focused, and he moved his paws stimulated by the smell.
What came into view was a still warm wild boar carcass.
There was a mark of sharp teeth piercing the neck of the corpse, probably a fatal blow. Afterwards, the predator seemed to violently tear it apart along that spot, exposing the animal's internal organs and flesh, and then feasted on it and ate it up.
The upturned soil and weeds on the ground were enough to suggest the fierce confrontation that took place during the process.
“Woo…”
The force on the back of its neck was released, and Chenchen was placed on the ground, but he still stared blankly at the wild boar's corpse, unable to come back to his senses.
This scene had a huge impact on the young tiger.
It had never seen anything like it.
In the tiger cub's previous understanding, hunting was like playing with a small robot, and the prey were just carefully cleaned and prepared pieces of meat, not only without fur but also cut into sizes.
But now it's completely different.
Everything is so rough and primitive, full of danger and murderous intent...but I inexplicably yearn for it.
After the big tiger put the cub down, it walked over to the dead prey, stuck its head out, searched and tore at the already empty belly of the prey, and the claws pressing down on the prey's head seemed to weigh thousands of pounds.
Such a scene obviously stimulated the little tiger.
An inexplicable emotion rose in the tiger cub's heart. It suddenly felt its teeth itchy and its claws popped out unconsciously.
It wants to call -
“Woo…”
However, when the big tiger turned around and faced the cold and majestic eyes of the adult male tiger, the little flame that had risen in the young tiger's heart was extinguished in an instant.
It had only called halfway when it immediately went into airplane ear mode again, shrinking its neck and not daring to make any more sounds.
The big tiger exhaled, shook its tail gently, turned around, tore off a piece of meat, and then slowly walked towards the cub.
As everyone looked on in amazement, the big tiger in the picture placed the meat in front of the little tiger and gave it a low call.
It was obvious that the big tiger was feeding the cub.
Not to mention the reaction of the little tiger Chenchen, the people watching were already going crazy.
"Wait a minute! What is going on now??"
"What's going on?! How could a strange South China tiger appear here? After so long of comparing the data, is there any match?!"
"I compared all the adult South China tigers in the database and found that none of them looked like it. To be honest, it was so big that if it weren't for its iconic beautiful fur and round head and short ears, I would have suspected that it was a tiger from somewhere else."
"The robot deployed nearby has arrived. Do we still need it to pick up Chenchen?"
"Wait a minute, the situation seems a little special... Anyway, don't hurt this adult South China tiger!"
The people behind the scenes were in a state of chaos. After the strange adult male tiger appeared, they almost went through all the existing records, but still could not explain the current situation. They were very confused.
In the live broadcast room, the audience were also stunned.
[What’s going on? ? I was so scared that I covered my eyes just now, why are you feeding me now? ? ]
[What I was watching was probably the big tiger smelling the cub, then picking it up to look for food.]
[What's going on? Who is this big tiger? It's so strong. Didn't I say Yuetian's size is one of the best? Why does it feel like it's even bigger than Yuetian?]
[I understand, I understand! This is the wild South China tiger we saw in the forest before! ! ]
[Uh… If I didn’t know the background, it would be possible. This is a man-made planet. How could there be wild South China tigers? Could it be that tigers have evolved again here? ? ]
[Don’t mention it, this big guy is really good looking! It’s not impossible for it to evolve again here… After all, the South China tiger is also known as the ancestor of tigers! ]
When everyone was confused, the narrator spoke slowly:
"And due to some unexpected events, TA, who was originally an amateur, also participated in the show."
"He was originally just an ordinary person, but because he became the stepfather of a celebrity, he joined a variety show and entered the public eye."
"At first, no one was optimistic about him, but later, everyone was disappointed."
[It appeared! The classic reversal and face-slapping routine! ]
[Ahh, so the protagonist is actually this giant tiger?! ]
[No, you said this tiger with muscular body is ordinary? ? This is a wild South China tiger!! ]
[I understand. In this kind of literature, the so-called amateurs are definitely not really amateurs. They will definitely reveal their rich identities later on! ]
【Hahahaha, where is the buff stacked in front? 】
[Stepfather, baby show, explosive popularity... OMG, it seems to be a good match. 】
[If this is the setting, I agree! This is a wild South China tiger that looks like it has good genes! Moreover, it seems to be actively taking care of the cubs! The keeper is ecstatic! ! ]
“Ouch!”
Chenchen called out subconsciously, but then all his attention was shifted to the piece of meat in front of him.
Gurgle.
Looking at the bloody piece of tender meat, it swallowed.
Before, Chenchen was very picky and only ate processed chicken and rabbit meat in the breeding center. He had no appetite if there was any hair or grass on it.
And now, even though the meat in front of him was not the two kinds it usually ate, and there were a few bloody black hairs on it, Chenchen still thought it would be delicious.
“Woo, woo…”
I don’t know if it was because he had been hungry for a few days or because he was stimulated by the scene just now, but in any case, Chenchen didn’t hesitate for too long. He pounced on the meat, and ate it with big mouthfuls of grunts.
While eating, it makes sounds to protect the food.
He has poor ability and a bad temper.
The big tiger stared at the young tiger quietly until the little guy gradually started to hum and stopped humming, then he withdrew his oppressive gaze.
Narrator:
"His meeting with the cub was actually just an accident."
"Out of kindness, he fed the cub that was about to faint from hunger on the road, but he didn't expect to be entangled by the other party and was forced to join the baby show."
[Wow, he's such a stepfather! ]
[It looks very reliable, I think it's good, little tiger, come and hug my thigh! ]
[The majestic yet gentle tiger dad also teaches his children not to smack their lips (bushi), love it. ]
[Wow, the show is now interesting hahaha. ]
After the cub finished eating the meat, the big tiger turned around and left.
Although Dahu rescued Chenchen for unknown reasons, it obviously did not intend to continue taking care of the cub.
This is a very normal thing.
It is rare for a male tiger to take care of its cubs. Even if it does happen, it only takes care of cubs that are blood-related to it. For a strange cub like this, it is considered gentle for a male tiger not to bite it to death, not to mention actively feeding it.
However, Chenchen doesn't know these rules.
The sound of light footsteps came from behind. The big tiger tilted its head slightly and found that the young tiger was tentatively following it.
The big tiger narrowed his eyes.
Facing the pair of scrutinizing gilded eyes, the young tiger shrank back for a moment, and its cry became even more cautious, almost as soft as a cat's meow:
“Woo, meow…?”
Would you mind taking it with you?
Although he was afraid of this strange male tiger, but with the goodwill gained from feeding him, Chenchen was still willing to follow him.
After all, it's better than a little tiger staying here alone.
The big tiger stared at it quietly for a while, until the little tiger began to press its ears and tremble unconsciously, then it withdrew its gaze and walked forward on its own.
Sometimes, not saying no is an attitude.
Chenchen's eyes widened slightly and he quickly caught up with the new protector.
【Ohhhh, successfully accepted! 】
[Wow, is this true? How can a male tiger accept a cub so easily? Wouldn't he kill any cubs that are not related to him to prevent competition?]
[I guess, maybe it's because the gene pool of the South China tiger itself is relatively monotonous, so all the tigers are brothers? Do you think this cub is your own cub? ]
[Well, it's possible... But we still need to figure out where this wild South China tiger came from.]
This task was handed over to the micro robots that had already been deployed in the forest.
However, the people behind the scenes were still a little hesitant:
"There is a mild anesthetic on the needle. We don't know where this South China tiger came from yet. What if it can't stand it?"
"Let's collect some basic hair first. We should be able to find some next to the wild boar."
"So, is there anything else we should do? Like terminate this practice?"
When this question came up, everyone was a little silent.
This development now is completely different from their original plan.
Originally, they planned to let several big tigers with cubs stay in this primeval forest for about half a month, starting with feeding them with lean meat, then feeding them live animals guided by machines, and finally testing whether they could survive again.
As a result, the pampered second generation tigers performed poorly from the beginning, and some even lost their cubs.
For the first half hour they were still worried, thinking that since Chenchen had been abandoned by Xiwang, they had to take him back and continue to raise him as a second-generation tiger.
But now a wild South China tiger suddenly appeared along the way.
Ah this.
I have no idea what to do!
"Honestly speaking, if it could really raise Chenchen, it would probably be more professional than us..."
There was silence for a long time, and I didn't know who started the conversation first.
Everyone looked at the wild tiger on the screen, which was stronger than the strongest male tiger they had carefully raised, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"You mean, we should learn how to raise cubs from it?"
"Uh... my original intention was to say that Chenchen wouldn't be in trouble if he followed it, but now that you mentioned it, it seems to make sense."
"But this is an extremely precious individual! How can we leave it out there?"
"Why rush? If we follow it for a few days, won't we be able to collect its genes? Aren't these habits and child-rearing techniques more important to us now?"
"Yes, gene collection is no longer a problem. The most important thing is the various habits of the South China tiger. There is too much missing information in this area..."
After a long discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus again.
Unless there is a conflict between individuals that is life-threatening, they will continue to follow their previous practices and not interfere, just observe.
In particular, they should focus on observing this unfamiliar wild South China tiger and record all its habits and characteristics for the purpose of improving their rewilding activities.
Of course, the most important thing is to collect the genes of this unfamiliar South China tiger and confirm its identity and origin.
After the meeting, a few people remained in the conference room chatting.
"If it really came out of nowhere, the Institute of Biology will have a lot of work to do."
"Haha, so artificial environments can also breed new life? Well, it really can drive them all crazy."
"By the way, is it possible that one of the tigers from that generation survived?"
"…They are all dead. The bodies have been confirmed. It's impossible."
"What a pity! Niya of that generation was the healthiest tigress after the resuscitation. She had the best chance of naturally giving birth to cubs with good genes."
"It is precisely because of the previous lesson that we spoiled the second generation so much. Although they have lost some abilities, at least they have lived safely until now. Let's take it slow."
"Be optimistic. Now that we've discovered this new big tiger, maybe everything will change."
Several people looked at the screen, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Wild South China tiger...
What shocking things will it bring?
The discussion has little concrete impact on the tigers in the forest.
The camera in the live broadcast room quickly flashed across each family and found that most of the tigers looked a little listless.
There was no way out. There was not enough food and they had to starve.
The staff off-site had originally been planning to increase the food supply because Chenchen was separated from the mother tiger, but now that he has been adopted, the staff can't change anything.
Chenchen had been hungry for a few days, but now he had a big meal of wild boar meat. Coupled with the novelty of coming to a new family, he has become the most energetic little tiger on the field.
The little tiger looked around curiously with its clear eyes.
As it walked, it was surprised to find that no matter what kind of animal it was, when they saw the male tiger beside it, they would run away in panic.
Next to him, the tall and strong male tiger had an indifferent look in his eyes. He did not take any of the animals in the forest seriously and was accustomed to the animals' escape.
Maybe this is the king of the forest.
So cool!
She's simply an idol!
He looked at the big tiger several times with sparkling eyes, and when he looked forward again, the young tiger unconsciously straightened his chest and tried to tighten his cute face, as if this way he could get a little bit of the big boss's arrogance.
At this moment, Chenchen finally realized what kind of thick thigh he had hugged.
I will definitely not go hungry again after this!
Maybe there is still a lot of meat!
The young tiger was very happy and his steps became brisk.
However--
The reality is not as good as the little guy imagined.
The next day, when Chenchen eagerly pawed at his stepfather for food, he only received a puzzled look from the big tiger.
“Woo…”
The young tiger made a sound, trying his best to hint.
I'm hungry.
Would you consider feeding it?
Blink.
Big Tiger: ...?
It looked at the tiger cub's not-so-thin body with subtle eyes, and then glanced at the pheasant pecking at insects not far away. Although it suspected that the tiger cub had poor eyesight, it still pushed the tiger cub over there with its claws, just as a guide.
There are so many buffets around, how can you still go hungry?
However, the young tiger did not understand his parents' actions.
It staggered after being pushed, and thought that the tiger was dissatisfied with it, so it lowered its ears and begged for mercy in a wronged manner.
A hint of confusion seemed to flash across the handsome and cool face of the big tiger.
But it has always done whatever it wants. Seeing that the little tiger was not going that way, it simply picked up the little guy by the scruff of the neck, walked almost silently to the pheasant on its paw pads, and then threw the little tiger in its mouth out.
“Giggle!”
“Ouch!”
The imagined scene of the little tiger landing and swooping down to kill the pheasant with one blow did not appear. On the contrary, the two looked at each other and were both scared and flew up at the same time. The pheasant cackled and flapped its wings and ran away, while the little tiger ran back with its ears pressed down.
Big Tiger: ? ?
Few things could surprise him so much.
But what surprised it even more was the little tiger's complaint of grievance after he came back.
“Meow.”
The frightened tiger cub cried out in grievance, saying that only a big tiger could handle such a big creature and it could only run away.
The big tiger stared at the cub on the ground for a long time. At a certain moment, it suddenly leaned over, picked it up, and walked in a certain direction.
Chenchen opened his eyes wide.
This action is the same as yesterday!
Is it time to find a place to feed it?
This time the little tiger was put down not long after walking.
Before it could take a look at its surroundings, it heard a few sharp screams, and then a shivering mountain rabbit was pulled in front of it by Tiger Claw.
Chenchen: Oh?
It approached curiously, wanting to smell the gray little guy, but the little guy suddenly jumped up and screamed, almost scaring it to death.
Just like before, it tried to hide behind the big tiger, but this time it was held down.
"call--"
The big tiger's breathing seemed a little heavier than before. It looked at the young tiger, whose face was filled with innocence and romance, for a few seconds, then took the initiative and bit the mountain rabbit that was about to escape half to death. Then, it continued to throw the mountain rabbit in front of the little tiger.
This time, it let out a low cry, revealing its sharp teeth, gestured at the twitching prey on the ground, and patiently instructed the younger one.
Chenchen: Woo?
The little tiger was still hesitant.
Seeing the little animal that was alive and kicking just now suddenly become so miserable in the tiger's mouth, it even shrank its neck and felt a little scared.
Although the smell of blood in the air smelled a little familiar, it still had no idea that it could eat a live rabbit.
However, since the parents were watching, it could only lower its head and pretend to sniff and gesture, but in fact it had already begun to daydream.
Big Tiger: ...
It narrowed its eyes and its tail began to wag impatiently.
Seeing that the little tiger on the ground still had a soft attitude, it couldn't help it, so it raised its paw and pressed down the head below, burying the little tiger's face directly in the half-dead body of the mountain rabbit.
“Ouch!”
Chenchen screamed, and then he was confused by the rabbit blood and rabbit hair all over his face.
Although it wanted to struggle at first, it suddenly calmed down after licking its nose subconsciously.
Huh?
It's a familiar taste.
When the claws on the back of its head were removed, the little tiger continued to lie on the mountain rabbit and lick and bite it. The familiar taste coming from the tip of its tongue gradually made it realize something.
When he raised his head again, Chenchen's face had turned into a clown's.
Although the fur on his face was stained with blood and a few rabbit hairs got into his nose and mouth, this could not suppress the little guy's excitement.
Major discovery!
This animal with long ears is the meat it had eaten before!
"……call."
The big tiger was breathing heavily. Facing the excitement of the young tiger, it responded perfunctorily and then signaled the other to eat quickly.
Chenchen avoided his gaze slightly: "Meow?"
How, how to eat?
But it still moves!
How about waiting here for a while?
Big Cat: ...
Under the guidance of the big tiger, Chenchen successfully bit the half-dead mountain rabbit to death and had his first meal since arriving here.
There's still a lot of hair though...
But it's gradually getting used to it!
Narrator:
"Unlike other parents who love their cubs and want to help them with everything, he is not that considerate. He even doesn't move himself and asks his cubs to cook."
"People originally thought this was too much, but the facts slapped them in the face."
"The cub successfully cooked the meal and enjoyed the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, and learned many cooking tips."
"It seems that this is all designed by TA to train the cubs."
[You have to exercise. You can’t do without exercise! ]
[Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the tiger cub would be pushed directly onto the rabbit. It reminded me of my cat. It had to force chicken breast into its mouth before it knew it was edible. It's really like a cat, haha.]
[The original work is about raising children in reverse, but it is quite normal here. After all, it is necessary to train survival skills in the wild. 】
[I hope the other little tigers can grow up quickly! They can’t keep eating artificial food! ]
In this regard, the staff behind the scenes quickly took similar measures.
Specifically, they tried not to process the food, neither the fur nor the internal organs, and then used a small robot to push the food on the ground, pretending that the animals were moving.
Although many tigers were startled at first, the familiar smell in the air still made them follow hesitantly.
Sniff, lick, eyes light up.
OK, this is something I've eaten before.
After being hungry for a few meals, the tiger was no longer picky about the fur. After making sure that the food was edible, it would eat it quickly for fear of being snatched away.
This trick works.
Narrator:
"Other families saw that he was in the spotlight and followed suit."
"This just proves how good he is at raising cubs."
[No, it's obviously the "program crew" who followed suit! ]
[It is true that her cub-raising skills are high... After all, it is a wild cub, so she won't be so picky. ]
[Is this what it means to plant willows by accident and get a shade?]
Big Cat's Journey:
I found a cat - it wanted to go home with me - but it might be mentally retarded - it might be mentally retarded - at least it can eat - do I even need to teach it to bite things?!
This is actually not a formal release. It can be compared to a South China tiger kindergarten. They just change the scene and train them slowly when the time comes. If the release is confirmed, this forest will not be fenced off.
