Chapter 85 Why are Song Yi and Lao San with their biological father Leopard?
When Ye Yu Nian led Song Yi and Lao San to drink water, Angela followed them all the time.
Angela didn't leave until the two kids finished drinking and Ye Yu Nian led them out of the territory.
Andrew noticed that Angela had come back, opened his eyelids and glanced at her, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, is Angela a little too concerned about the cubs?
How come Angela is still so vigilant after living with him in the territory for so long?
What if I take the cubs to move in a few days, and Angela finds out and follows me again?
Andrew was so worried.
He even felt that he couldn't sleep well, so he simply stood up and quickly got down from the tree.
To be honest, there is no harm in letting Andrew continue to live with Angela.
After all, Angela is also good at hunting. With her around, their hunting success rate will rise sharply, and they can also raise the cubs better.
But then again.
Can't Angela change her temper?
What kind of female leopard would attack him every day for no reason?
It's only because Andrew has a good temper that he doesn't bother with her.
Oh.
Why not take Angela with him when he migrates.
After all, Andrew is really afraid that if he migrates with the cubs and Angela disagrees, she will catch up and fight with him.
Of course, more importantly, Andrew is a little worried that if he doesn't take Angela with him, the cubs will not follow him.
Therefore, before the migration begins in the next few days, Andrew must determine the direction of their future migration and ensure that their new territory has sufficient food resources and water sources.
Of course.
What Andrew never thought at this time was that it would be his own baby cubs who would be unwilling to migrate with him.
In the next few days, Andrew became busy.
He would begin to patrol his territory after nightfall.
This is done first to determine what prey still lives in the territory, and secondly to observe the movements of other neighbors living around his territory.
The river that passes through Andrew's territory not only flows through his territory, but also flows through the territory of the Ethan lion group next door.
Once the water source in the lions' territory begins to decrease, the lions will also migrate with the prey, and Andrew and his team must leave before that.
One night five days later, Andrew suddenly heard footsteps.
Ye Yunian and Angela, who were sleeping in the tree, were also awakened by the sound.
The three leopards stood up from the tree at the same time, looking into the distance.
It was a group of wildebeests. They gathered at night, forming a long team, and stepped on the yellow sand in groups.
The departure of the wildebeests announced that this land was no longer suitable for their survival.
Without them, carnivores would also lose most of their food sources.
Andrew looked in the south.
Soon, Ethan's lions will also leave their territory and migrate with the wildebeests.
They need to leave their current territory before the lions come.
It just so happens that half of the prey hunted yesterday is left.
Andrew continued without hesitation and began to call the cubs and Angela to come over to eat.
After filling their stomachs, they will also set off.
Ye Yunian naturally knew what Andrew's call meant, so Ye Yunian felt a little sad at this time.
The African savannah is very large.
Once separated from your biological father leopard and mother leopard, it may be difficult to meet again in the future.
Although Ye Yunian has only lived with them for less than two months, Ye Yunian still has a lot of feelings for them.
Ye Yunian stood up and jumped onto the tree where Andrew stored food.
Andrew saw his cub and rubbed the cub's head affectionately as usual, then dragged the food in front of Ye Yunian, signaling the cub to eat first.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunian didn't even look at the food, but took another step forward and rubbed Andrew's head frantically.
The cub's head was furry, and every time he was rubbed by him, Andrew would squint his eyes comfortably and contentedly.
Of course, he also licked the cub's head this time, and he even happily stretched out his tongue to lick the cub's head.
His cub is so cute!
I like it!
Andrew licked, licked, licked.
It was almost like washing Ye Yunian's face.
It was not until Angela came over and blew a dissatisfied sound at Andrew that Andrew reluctantly withdrew his tongue.
Ye Yunian naturally noticed Angela coming over, so when Andrew let him go, he walked to Angela without hesitation and rubbed Angela intimately.
Angela was a little disgusted with the smell of Andrew on the cub's head. Ye Yunian only rubbed her for a moment, and she began to lick the cub's fur.
Lick it off, you must lick off all the smell of Andrew!
After a while, only Angela's breath remained on Ye Yunian's head.
Angela was very satisfied and also withdrew her tongue, then motioned the cub to eat with her.
In the next period of time, Andrew and Angela will walk a long distance to migrate.
During this process, hunting will become particularly difficult, so they must fill their stomachs as much as possible to have sufficient physical strength to fight against various accidents that may happen next.
Ye Yunian knew the importance of these foods to them, so Ye Yunian took several steps back and rejected Andrew and Angela's invitation to eat.
The two leopards were stunned when they saw this.
Huh?
Why doesn't the cub eat?
Could it be that he ate too much yesterday and is not hungry today?
Andrew looked at Angela.
Angela's eyes were also full of confusion and doubt.
Even if he ate too much yesterday, it's been a whole day, so he can eat a little, right?
Is he not feeling well?
Angela walked forward and sniffed the cub.
The cub smelled normal, and it didn't look uncomfortable.
Andrew tilted his head in surprise. Could it be that he hadn't torn meat for the cub for a long time, so the cub was a little unhappy?
Andrew simply lowered his head, tore off a large piece of meat, and handed it to the cub.
While putting down the meat, Andrew rubbed his head against Ye Yunian, motioning him to eat quickly.
Ye Yunian looked down at the meat in front of him, then looked at Angela and Andrew in front of him. It would be a lie if he didn't feel moved.
But Ye Yunian really couldn't eat this food at this time!
He will not migrate with his biological father and mother leopards, so why does he eat so much!
On the contrary, his biological father and mother leopards will migrate for a long time, and even in the next part of the journey, they will soon go their separate ways because of his departure.
Leopards are solitary animals. If it weren’t for him, Andrew would not keep Angela, and Angela would not be willing to live with Andrew.
But without each other’s company, even if Andrew and Angela are very strong, it will become difficult for them to hunt during the migration and search for territory.
So Ye Yunian will definitely not eat a bite!
All this food must be left for his biological father and mother leopards.
Ye Yunian once again rejected Andrew and Angela with his actions.
The two leopards were really confused at this moment.
Why did the healthy cubs start to refuse to eat?
Could it be that they were really feeling unwell somewhere?
Just when Andrew and Angela were so worried that they didn't plan to eat, Ye Yunian suddenly came forward, licked the two leopards in turn, and roared at them twice.
The meaning was: I'm fine, I'm really not feeling unwell, you guys should eat quickly.
After shouting, Ye Yunian was still worried that the two leopards would not believe him, so he simply jumped down from the tree.
The tree trunk where they were now was almost five meters away from the ground. Ye Yunian just used the trunk to help him land steadily on the ground.
After jumping to the ground, Ye Yunian couldn't wait to raise his head, as if to say, look, I'm very healthy!
At this point, Andrew and Angela were finally relieved.
But the cubs couldn't really not eat anything!
Andrew and Angela were worried and still left some food for the cubs.
They planned to leave at dawn, so these foods -
Andrew suddenly raised his head and looked at a place with some confusion.
Angela was also confused and puzzled, and followed Andrew to look into the distance.
They were obviously going to move, why at this time, their cubs had to go out of the territory to play with the cubs in the neighboring territory?
Wait.
Could it be that the cubs didn't know they were going to move?
The two leopards didn't care to continue eating at this time, and they came down from the tree one after another, and then followed Ye Yunian at the same time.
Not long after Ye Yunian left, he felt that his biological father and mother Leopard followed him.
Huh?
How did they follow him?
In Ye Yunian's opinion, the separation was something that was enough to make Leopard sad, but it was also something that he had to face.
So Ye Yunian didn't think about leaving secretly at the beginning. He just wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do at the moment to go and see Song Yi, and then come back to say goodbye to them before his biological father and mother Leopard left.
In addition, Ye Yunian planned to wait for his biological father and mother Leopard to leave, and then he would immediately bring Song Yi and his family to Andrew's territory!
After all, such a large territory would be a waste if he didn't live there!
Although most of the large prey living in this territory have begun to migrate, there are still many small and medium-sized prey living here.
Although Ye Yunian is still young, he has now learned how to hunt. He can still support himself and raise Song Yi at the same time!
Could it be that the biological father and mother leopards are leaving now?
Ye Yunian stopped and turned around without hesitation and walked towards the two leopards.
Why did they leave so soon?
Ye Yunian was a little sad.
When Andrew and Angela saw the cubs walking back towards them, the two leopards breathed a sigh of relief and stopped at the same time.
Right.
They were leaving soon, so why would they run to play next door at this time?
Andrew looked up at the sky.
It was almost dawn, and he and Angela had almost finished eating all the prey on the tree. Although there was still some meat left, it wouldn't be a big deal to keep it.
Why not just migrate now?
Andrew glanced at Angela who was standing next to him.
Angela understood what Andrew meant almost instantly.
She agreed with Andrew's suggestion without hesitation.
After all, Andrew was an excellent male leopard, and his judgment would definitely not be wrong.
When Ye Yuanian walked in front of them, the two leopards turned around at the same time and motioned Ye Yuanian to follow them.
Andrew was experienced, so he walked in front.
Angela followed him, occasionally looking back at the cub.
After taking two steps, Angela looked back.
The cub was still standing there.
After taking five or six steps, Angela looked back again.
The cub was still standing there?
Huh?
Angela stopped.
At this moment, Ye Yunian ran towards her, then leaped over and hugged Angela's neck with his two front paws.
The cub always has some special intimate movements with Angela.
Angela enjoys the intimacy between the cub and herself, so she stood there without moving, enjoying the cub's initiative to get close to her.
After Ye Yunian and Angela finished being intimate, he walked forward and was intimate with Andrew.
The three leopards stayed close to each other for several minutes before Ye Yunian took a step back.
The two leopards he was touching were both very satisfied at this time.
Their cubs are so cute!
I just like to be intimate with the cubs all the time!
Hum.
Andrew hummed two sounds in his throat, swung his tail, and walked to the front again. He still led the way, and Angela walked behind Andrew.
The two leopards walked forward one meter and looked back at the cubs. The cubs stood there, looking at them with burning eyes.
Andrew took Angela forward another two meters, and the two leopards looked back at the cubs again. The cubs stood there, looking at them with a hint of sadness in their eyes.
Hmm?
Not right.
Andrew stopped.
Angela also turned her head sharply, and she called the cub softly.
Normally, after hearing Angela's call, the cub would quickly come forward.
But this time, Ye Yunian stood there, without moving.
Angela quickly realized that something was wrong.
Andrew turned his head to look at Angela, and then also patiently howled at the cub, meaning: We are moving now, you have to keep up with us.
Ye Yunian could certainly understand what Andrew meant, so he also roared at the two leopards.
What he meant was: I will not migrate with you, I am grown up now, and I can live independently.
Andrew tilted his head in confusion.
What does it mean that the cub is grown up now and can live independently?
Angela was equally confused.
Her cub is only one year old now, how can it be independent?
In Angela's view, her cub is still a little baby!
In nature, most leopards live with their mothers until they are about two and a half years old and then leave their mothers. There are even some leopards who rely on their mothers and will not leave until they are over three years old.
How can your cub live independently?
Angela was puzzled and roared several times.
The general meaning is, you are still a cub, you must migrate with us now.
Andrew also joined the team to persuade the cub.
Yes, yes.
How old are you now, cub!
And even if you really want to leave them, you can't be too far away from them.
At most...well, Andrew will only accept his cub to live in the territory next to his!
You must not be too far away from him, and it would be best if he can see the cub whenever he wants.
Andrew really likes his cub!
So what is the situation now?
Why does the cub refuse to go with them?
The two leopards stood there, and after persuading for a full ten minutes, Andrew and Angela were tired.
Angela sat down where she was.
Andrew even lay down directly in the haystack beside him.
He didn't understand.
He was very confused.
Why didn't their cubs leave no matter how much they persuaded them?
They didn't sleep much last night. Originally, Andrew wanted to wait until it was dark and the temperature was not too high, so they could try to hurry up. After dawn, when the temperature gradually rose, they would find a place to have a good rest.
But now it seems -
Andrew raised his head and glanced at the horizon not far away. At this moment, the dark sky has actually had a hint of light.
Can they really set off before dawn?
Andrew also fell into deep thought for a rare time.
Ye Yunian, who was standing in front of the two leopards, was even more anxious.
He had already made everything clear to his biological father Leopard and biological mother Leopard!
He will not run around, and will still stay in this territory, but he will no longer live with them.
I am now one year old, and I have mastered the skills of hunting, and even the success rate of hunting is constantly improving.
Ye Yunian is fully capable of taking care of himself.
Why don't they believe it? !
And!
When I was still a human, I also watched some documentaries. Obviously, parents are eager for their cubs to leave them as soon as possible, so why are their own father and mother leopards worried?
If Angela and Andrew knew what the cub was thinking at this time, they would definitely say at the same time: Of course it's because you are too young!
Parents hope that the cubs can be independent as soon as possible, but no matter what, they must get to the right age!
How can a one-year-old cub, whose body is not fully developed yet, be independent?
Andrew and Angela did not intend to abandon the cub and leave, so when they saw that Ye Yunian was not leaving, they simply did not leave.
At most, they could stay here for another day. Maybe the cub would change his mind after a day?
But the facts disappointed the two leopards.
A day later, Ye Yunian still refused to migrate with Andrew and Angela.
Even today, Ye Yunian found that the water source in Maria's territory was completely dry.
Song Yi was so thirsty that he opened his mouth and gasped.
Ye Yunian looked very distressed.
Thinking about the last time he took Song Yi to Andrew's territory to drink water, Andrew did not stop him, so this time he should be allowed, right?
So Ye Yunian took Song Yi and Lao San to the water source in Andrew's territory.
Due to the continuous drought, even in Andrew's territory, the water source has been greatly reduced.
The water source that could completely submerge the hippopotamus before is now not even high enough to reach their lower limbs.
Therefore, the hippopotamus living in this territory also moved away some time ago.
Now there are only some small creatures that will appear during the day.
It is relatively safe near the water source.
But even so, Ye Yunian was not very reassured. He checked around first before taking Song Yi and Lao San forward.
The water in this pool is relatively clear. As soon as they arrived at the water's edge, Song Yi and Lao San lowered their heads and drank water.
Ye Yunian was a little tired at this time, so he lay down by the water and drank water with Song Yi.
Andrew and Angela followed and saw this scene from a distance.
This was the first time that Andrew saw his cub's two playmates.
It must be said that Maria was also good at raising children. These two cubs looked chubby and cute.
Especially the little black panther next to his cub, his fur color was very special, which made him look even rounder.
Of course, no matter how cute, he couldn't be as cute as his own cub!
Andrew looked away.
Then quickly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head suddenly and looked at the three figures in front of him in disbelief.
It was also at this moment that Andrew suddenly understood something.
Could it be that his cubs did not migrate with them just because of these two cubs? !
Andrew turned his head to look at Angela in disbelief.
At this moment, Angela seemed to have suddenly realized something, and turned her head in shock to look at Andrew.
No way? Is
it really because of these two cubs?
The leopard parents had a rare tacit understanding, and they didn't say anything. They lay quietly in the distance and observed the three leopards.
Ye Yunian had obviously discovered Andrew and Angela, but he was very confident in his biological father and mother leopards, knowing that they would not hurt Song Yi and his brothers, so after the two little ones finished drinking water, Ye Yunian did not take them away immediately, but stood by the water and helped Song Yi tidy up his hair.
Seeing this scene.
Andrew was shocked again, turned his head slightly, and looked at Angela with a puzzled look, obviously asking: Don’t our cubs like to lick their own fur?
Andrew likes the cub very much, so he knows all the cub's little habits very well.
When the cub first came to his own territory and looked for his own, every time after eating, the cub wanted to sleep immediately. Which time didn't Andrew go over and lick his fur?
Later, Angela came, and Angela would also lick the cub's fur at different times. After that, the job of licking the cub's fur became the division of labor between Angela and Andrew.
But at this moment, their lazy cub who didn't like to lick his fur was licking the other cubs happily!
Andrew was hit hard.
So it must be because of this cub!
It was because of this cub that their cubs were unwilling to migrate with them!
Angela naturally reacted.
Why do their cubs like this little black panther so much?
Although this little black panther does look cute and has a special fur color.
Angela couldn't figure it out, she lay in the haystack with her head tilted, and couldn't help but sighing.
Looking at Andrew on the other side, he was so angry that he stood up and turned away.
Oh.
An impatient leopard.
However, if Andrew leaves this territory and goes out to find a new territory alone, then it's not impossible for her to stay and live with the cub!
Thinking of this, Angela's eyes lit up instantly.
This is really a good thing!
So when did Andrew leave?
The good news is that Andrew did leave that night.
Angela noticed that Andrew had left the territory just as it was getting dark.
Angela became excited instantly.
Great!
Now that Andrew has left, she doesn't have to migrate with her cubs anymore!
But this excitement didn't last long.
Because soon Angela found that Andrew had come back, and was running in one direction at a very fast speed.
This direction was not the direction back to the territory, but the migration direction that Andrew had decided at the beginning.
Huh?
Why is there the smell of other leopards?
Could it be that Andrew provoked other female leopards outside?
But this is not the estrus period for leopards!
Angela couldn't help but stand up.
Ye Yunian next to him was sleeping so hard that he turned over on his stomach and didn't notice anything unusual.
At this moment, Angela heard a roar, and the sound was from Maria, the neighbor next door.
Combined with the two strange and familiar smells, Angela reacted instantly. Andrew actually ran away with Maria's two cubs!
Wait!
Angela turned her head and looked at Ye Yunian next to her.
Ye Yunian was awakened by Maria's roar.
As soon as he woke up, Ye Yunian quickly stood up from the tree trunk. Maria rarely made such an angry sound, but this sound tonight was so loud that it woke Ye Yunian up. Did something unexpected happen?
Ye Yunian's heart suddenly hung up.
Then he quickly raised his head and sniffed the smell in the air.
Ye Yu Nian was also stunned when he smelled it.
Huh?
Why did Ye Yu Nian smell the scent of his father Bao and Song Yi Lao San leaving the territory?
Hey -
Ye Yunian's eyes suddenly widened.
No.
Why are Song Yi and Lao San with their biological father Leopard? ! !
Aren't Song Yi and Lao San with Maria?
