Chapter 81 Song Yi is in danger!
Ye Yu Nian’s second visit still surprised Maria who returned late.
But this time, Maria didn’t seem to be as flustered as last time.
Because they were so far away, she noticed that her cubs were in good condition.
When she came back and took a closer look, it was exactly the same as last time. The two little ones had bulging bellies, and it was obvious that they were well fed.
So every time the sub-adult leopard came over, it was just to feed its cubs?
Maria didn’t understand the purpose of Ye Yu Nian’s behavior, but as long as her cubs were not harmed, she was relieved.
But Maria was not so easy to trust other leopard mothers, so this time Maria, who came back late, still moved with her cubs.
Ye Yunian knew about this the next day because the direction of the smell had changed.
In response, Ye Yunian said: These are all small problems, as long as Maria does not leave this territory with her cubs, Ye Yunian can find Song Yi. So in
the following period of time, whenever Maria went out hunting, Ye Yunian would hurriedly take the fresh food he had just hunted and quickly run towards the hiding place of Maria's two cubs.
Every time Ye Yunian would not stay for long, and would leave after delivering the food.
Even every time he went there, Ye Yunian would not meet the two cubs head-on.
After all, the cubs are cautious and timid, and they will not show up easily.
But even so, Ye Yunian still enjoys it.
And soon the photographers discovered that Ye Yunian had a little more ritual sense -
every time he left, he would howl softly twice towards the crevice where the little black panther was.
Then Ye Yunian would shake his tail and run to Andrew's territory.
This one-sided feeding lasted for a month.
Maria also moved with her cubs for a month.
Even because Ye Yunian came more and more frequently, sometimes he would watch the two cubs sleep, so he didn't have time to find that Maria had returned.
The two leopards met twice at a long distance.
This scared the photographers who were watching around.
They were worried that Maria would attack Ye Yunian, and they were ready to wake him up, but he woke up slowly, and then ran away the next second.
Well.
It seems that Ye Yunian is still a little wary! But definitely not much.
Over time, not only did the photographers get used to Ye Yunian coming to Maria's territory every now and then to feed the cubs, but even Maria seemed to have gotten used to it.
She still didn't understand why a strange sub-adult leopard was so devoted to feeding its cubs.
But because the sub-adult leopard was happy to feed them, after a month, her two cubs were fat and strong.
As a mother, the happiest thing is of course to see her children healthy.
In addition, the sub-adult leopard never showed any threat to Maria and her cubs.
So after moving for a month, Maria finally got tired of moving every few days.
On a rare cool night, Maria, tired of a day of hunting, returned to the territory and did not move with her cubs.
Not only the photographers were stunned, but Ye Yunian was also stunned when he woke up the next day.
Hey?
Why didn't you continue moving this time?
Could it be that Maria is finally beginning to slowly accept herself? !
Ye Yunian was suddenly a little excited and excited.
In order to confirm his guess, Ye Yunian wandered around Andrew's territory for a while that day, caught a hare, and then took his fresh trophy and quickly ran towards Maria's territory.
Maria had just gone out hunting yesterday, and she would not leave her cubs for several days.
Ye Yunian chose this time to approach Maria and her cubs, which was undoubtedly a dangerous and reckless action.
When the photographers saw this scene, their hearts were lifted up again.
"How much does Niannian like Maria's cub? Maria didn't even leave, but he dared to approach Maria's territory!"
The photographers were really worried.
But they couldn't do anything about Ye Yunian.
After all, if the leopard would listen to them, that would be a big problem!
Fortunately, although Ye Yunian was reckless, he was not too adventurous.
After approaching Maria's territory, Ye Yunian stopped and began to wander around.
Ye Yunian was testing Maria's attitude.
If Maria felt that Ye Yunian was dangerous, or if she didn't want him to get any closer, she would have started to warn him at a distance where she could smell his scent.
But to everyone's surprise, Ye Yunian stayed here for almost half an hour, and Maria didn't warn him.
So after staying for almost half an hour, Ye Yunian continued to move forward.
Ye Yunian walked very slowly on the next section of the road, and after walking a certain distance, he would stop, listen carefully to the sound, and then smell the scent of Maria and Song Yi.
He would continue to move forward only after making sure that Maria didn't move with the cub.
It didn't take Ye Yunian much time to walk to a distance of only about one kilometer from Maria and the cub.
Finally, a warning roar came from the distance.
Ye Yunian knew that this was the closest distance he could get.
Ye Yunian was a little happy, and did not move forward. Instead, he held the wild rabbit meat in his mouth and quickly climbed up a tree.
After climbing the tree, he first put down the rabbit meat in his mouth, and then began to look into the distance.
Although after a month of getting along, Maria probably knew that Ye Yunian would not harm her cub, but this did not mean that Maria had lost her guard against Ye Yunian.
Realizing that a strange sub-adult leopard was nearby, Maria first issued a warning, and then hid her two cubs.
Ye Yunian stood on the tree branch and looked out for a long time. He only saw Maria's head in the distance deep in the tall grass, and there was no sign of the cubs around.
Come to think of it.
Maria was already giving him face by letting him get so close, how could she let her cubs out again!
Ye Yunian couldn't help but sigh. It's
a bit regrettable.
But this is already a progress!
Maria allowed herself to be one kilometer away today, maybe tomorrow she would agree to let herself be half a kilometer away, and the day after tomorrow she would be able to see Song Yi from a distance of about 500 meters!
Thinking of this, Ye Yunian was very happy. He
went up the tree trunk, rolled on the thick trunk, and then jumped down from the tree happily.
"Aowu——"
Ye Yunian called in a friendly way in the direction of Maria.
Translated, it means: I'll leave the hare meat here for you, remember to feed Song Yi quickly!
After Ye Yunian gave his instructions to himself, he turned around and ran towards Andrew's territory.
He ran very fast and disappeared in a flash. When
the photographers saw this, they were all surprised.
You know, one kilometer is an extremely dangerous distance.
But Maria didn't warn Niannian until they were one kilometer away.
So -
the food that Niannian sent from thousands of miles away some time ago was still effective!
For a moment, the photographers were a little amused.
Niannian really learned how to socialize with strange leopards!
Looking at the other side, Ye Yunian had returned to Andrew's territory happily.
After noticing the cubs' return, Andrew and Angela stopped at the same time.
It was July, and the most direct impact of the dry season was the sharp decrease in the water volume of the river in Andrew's territory. During
this period, several fights had broken out near the river over the problem of drinking water.
Just two days ago, a strange group of hyenas came to Andrew's territory.
But this group of hyenas did not stay in Andrew's territory for too long.
The reason is simple, because the number of hyenas in this group is not large, only about ten.
Andrew has always hated hyenas, and Angela also particularly hates these grassland robbers.
So the two leopards, who have always been at odds and rarely meet each other even though they live in the same territory, gathered together, and then the two leopards went towards the hyena group.
Two against ten, Andrew and Angela are indeed no match for this group of hyenas.
But who said they were going to have a group fight? As soon as
Andrew and Angela approached, the two leopards rushed towards the hyena queen.
The leader never thought that there were two leopards living on this land. When he saw them rushing straight towards him, he ran away at the first moment, but the leopards had strong explosive power and were very fast.
Andrew took the lead in pinning down the hyena queen, and Angela followed closely and bit her back.
Although the two leopards rarely cooperated, they cooperated very well. It didn't take long for them to kill the hyena queen.
Without a leader, a group of hyenas naturally fled in panic.
This crisis was temporarily resolved, but it didn't mean that everything was over.
After all, hyenas have high IQs, and they might find time to come back for revenge.
So Andrew and Angela kept a close eye on the cubs these days.
Unexpectedly, they didn't pay attention and let the cubs run out of the territory.
Andrew and Angela were anxious. After realizing that the cub was not in the territory, the two leopards hurriedly followed the scent.
Fortunately, they did not walk too far before they realized that the cub had returned.
Looking at the cub happily running to them and rubbing against them in various ways.
Andrew and Angela were no longer as flustered as before, but the leopard parents were still a little confused. Why did their cub always go out of the territory recently?
Was he naughty and went out to play?
That's not right.
Andrew looked up.
Of course he knew that Maria did not leave, but as long as Maria did not live near the edge of his territory, Andrew could tolerate her and would not drive her and her cubs away.
Looking at his cub again, it seems that this is the direction he goes out to play every day -
Andrew's big eyes are full of doubts.
Could it be that his cub has taken a fancy to the leopard?
Andrew turned his head in surprise to look at the cub, and then looked at Angela beside the cub.
But Angela was obviously not as shocked as Andrew, and she did not have Andrew's wild ideas.
After all, Angela now still mistakenly believed that Maria was Andrew's new girlfriend.
The cub born by the new girlfriend is of course the cub's younger brother.
So it is normal for Angela to go out to play with his younger brothers.
But the cub can no longer leave the territory at will these few days.
Angela licked the cub's head and called him a few times.
Meaning, stay in the territory for a few days, don't run around.
Ye Yunian certainly understood what Angela meant.
But Ye Yunian was a little confused, why can't you run around these days?
A few days ago, when Angela and Andrew teamed up to hunt down the hyena leader, Ye Yunian was feeding the cubs in Maria's territory.
Of course, he didn't know what happened in his own territory, so at this time he opened his eyes with a pair of big eyes, very puzzled.
Seeing Angela's serious face, Ye Yunian still nodded obediently.
Okay.
Anyway, Maria has caught prey in the past few days. Even if Ye Yunian goes there in the past few days, he can't get close to the cubs.
And more importantly, Maria no longer moves with the cubs!
So Ye Yunian is not so anxious.
Just wait a few days.
It's just right that I can study it again in these few days and think about what delicious food to bring to Song Yi next time.
Ye Yunian followed Angela and Andrew back to the forest in the center of their territory.
The three leopards each found a big tree and started to sleep.
Ye Yunian lay on the tree and didn't fall asleep for a while, and then began to think about what food to bring to Song Yi next time they meet.
Zebra?
Song Yi was fed once last time.
It seems that wildebeests and antelopes have also been fed.
The wild rabbit has been sent many times.
It's nothing new!
Then...
hey?
Ye Yunian's eyes lit up.
How about sending some spicy strips?
Thinking of the cobra he got from the flat-headed brother last time, Ye Yunian was immediately drooling.
Spicy strips are really delicious.
Song Yi is more than two months old now, and his teeth should be able to chew snake bones.
Ye Yunian thought about it and felt that his idea was very good.
So in the next few days, Ye Yunian has been looking for the flat-headed brother everywhere in Andrew's territory.
The snake venom of the cobra is not easy to deal with, and it is easy to lose your life if you are not careful.
So Ye Yunian certainly can't rely on himself!
However, if he really stole the food of the honey badger, he would probably be chased by it for thousands of miles.
In order not to cause trouble to Song Yi, Ye Yunian would remember to hunt a wild rabbit every time he went out to look for the honey badger.
This way it is not free, it is a barter!
Unfortunately, after wandering around the territory for several days, Ye Yunian got nothing.
It’s not that Ye Yunian didn’t find the honey badger, the honey badger is still easy to find, but how could it be such a coincidence that when Ye Yunian found the honey badger, the honey badger was killing a cobra?
There is no such coincidence in the world.
For several days, Ye Yunian was a little listless.
"Awoo——"
Ye Yunian couldn't help but vent his temper a little to the sky.
At this time, a gust of hot wind brought another piece of news—Maria left her territory to hunt.
Damn it!
If I don’t go to see Song Yi now, I will have to wait another five or six days.
In another five or six days, wouldn’t it mean that I haven’t seen Song Yi for more than ten days? Will
Song Yi still recognize me by then?
Will he just forget me!
No way.
Ye Yunian hasn’t seen Song Yi for a long time.
No spicy strips, no spicy strips.
Who made the spicy strips on the African savannah all poisonous?
Ye Yunian really can’t afford to offend these guys with poisonous teeth.
Then he can only go to see Song Yi with the hare in his mouth.
Before leaving, Ye Yunian sniffed the scent of Andrew and Angela.
Great, his biological father Leopard and his biological parents are still asleep.
Ye Yunian did not hesitate any longer, holding the hare in his mouth, he began to move towards Maria's territory.
The last ray of setting sun in the sky was still hanging in the distant horizon. Ye Yunian's actions temporarily deceived the sleeping Angela and Andrew, but did not deceive the photographers.
The photographers drove and followed Ye Yunian slowly.
Soon, Ye Yunian had reached the edge of Andrew's territory.
But Ye Yunian did not leave immediately. After all, Maria was not far away at this time. Ye Yunian could still smell Maria's scent. If he went there at this time -
eh?
The photographers were still analyzing it, and they saw Ye Yunian suddenly turned in front of them.
Why did Nian Nian change direction?
The photographers hurried to catch up.
Soon, they knew the reason why Ye Yunian suddenly changed direction -
Nian Nian went to find the flat-headed brother again.
I don't know what's wrong with this kid recently. He suddenly likes to follow the flat-headed brother.
In the past few days, the photographers have photographed Ye Yunian following the flat-headed brother several times.
Originally, the photographers thought that Nian Nian was going to steal the food of the honey badger again, but every time he met the honey badger, Ye Yu Nian did not move. He just looked at it from a distance, as if he was confirming something.
Soon after, Nian Nian turned around and walked away with a blank expression.
The photographers thought it would be the same this time, but they didn't expect that Ye Yu Nian did not leave immediately after meeting the honey badger, but lay down in a bush.
The photographers adjusted the equipment and quickly took pictures of the situation in front.
Just near the bushes less than a hundred meters in front of Ye Yu Nian, a honey badger was fighting a black mamba snake.
Seeing this scene, the photographers were all excited.
This is a rare picture, they must take a picture!
The movement of the honey badger is very flexible, and its thick fur gives it a natural advantage in hunting snakes.
When hunting snakes, the honey badger will attack from behind the snake's head. When
the snake wants to counterattack, it will quickly retreat. After repeated attempts, the honey badger will attack the snake when it is exhausted and gradually shows signs of fatigue and intends to escape.
This honey badger is already an adult, and it is obvious that it is very experienced in hunting venomous snakes.
A group of photographers and Ye Yunian squatted in the grass for about half an hour, and the black mamba gradually fell below.
At one moment, the flat-headed brother suddenly bit forward and bit the black mamba's neck.
This confrontation ended with the victory of the flat-headed brother.
The photographers watched with relish, and just when they were about to move the camera to Ye Yunian, they saw Ye Yunian, who had been lurking in the tall grass, suddenly jumped out.
The flat-headed brother bit off the head of the black mamba and was about to enjoy his delicacy when he saw a sub-adult leopard running in front of him recklessly.
It was stunned for a second, and then just as it was about to attack, a big fat hare suddenly fell from the sky.
The hare hit the flat-headed brother directly, and it was hit and lay on the ground a little dizzy.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunian had quickly picked up the big black spicy strip on the ground and ran away quickly.
Even when the flat-headed brother stood up from the ground with his head turned, he still didn't understand what had happened.
He looked at the big fat rabbit on the ground, and then at the leopard that had disappeared in the distance.
The flat-headed brother fell into deep thought.
Although the snake meat was gone, there was a fat rabbit.
Fat rabbits are also delicious.
But who can tell him why his snake meat suddenly turned into rabbit meat?
Was it made by the leopard just now?
To be honest, the irritable flat-headed brother was still very angry.
After all, he had spent a lot of effort to kill the snake.
But looking at the rabbit in front of him. The
flat-headed brother swallowed his saliva.
The snake just now was only about two meters long, and excluding the snake head, there were only two or three pounds of meat.
Look at this fat wild rabbit again.
It must be six pounds!
So he made the profit?
The honey badger was puzzled.
But his thinking was limited, and his belly kept reminding him that he was hungry, so the honey badger simply stopped thinking and lowered his head to eat.
The photographers who witnessed the whole process: ...
For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
At the same time, they also reacted.
So during this period of time, Niannian followed the honey badger every day, just to snatch the snake meat from the honey badger?
Don't mention it, Niannian is quite smart.
Knowing that the honey badger hates being robbed of food the most and will chase him, he even hunted a wild rabbit meat in advance to exchange with the honey badger.
The photographers laughed so hard.
Maybe it was because their laughter was a little loud, which made the honey badger who was eating a little unhappy.
Suddenly, the honey badger threw away the wild rabbit meat in his hand and came straight towards them.
The photographers were all frightened.
"Run!"
"Get in the car!"
Don't dare to provoke it.
So Niannian is really too smart!
After leaving the honey badger, the photographers caught up with Ye Yunian again.
Ye Yunian's direction this time was very clear - Maria's cub.
Five days later, Ye Yunian set foot on Maria's territory again.
Because Maria had gone out to hunt, Ye Yunian had a smooth journey along the way.
The photographers even captured a scene -
perhaps because he was too happy, Ye Yunian was jumping while walking, his head was shaking from side to side, and his long tail was swinging from side to side with his movements.
It can be seen that Niannian was in a very good mood today.
But such a good mood did not last long.
When he was only about a kilometer away from the hiding place of the cubs, Ye Yunian found a hyena.
Ye Yunian paused and looked at the hyena from a distance.
The hyena also found Ye Yunian, and it almost didn't think about it, and began to call loudly to its own kind.
How did I meet a hyena in this place?
The sub-adult leopard is no match for the adult hyena.
So Ye Yunian didn't think about it, and quickly found a tree and climbed up.
Because he climbed higher, Ye Yunian, standing on the tree branch, saw the pile of stones where Song Yi and his brothers were hiding.
There were three hyenas around the pile of stones!
Ye Yunian's face quickly darkened.
Song Yi was in danger!
