Tiger Mom sniffed warily, then tentatively stuck out her tongue and licked it.
It tasted like fresh meat, without any signs of spoilage. Logically, the taste of prey that has been dead for a day should have changed.
Why does this red fox look so delicious?
Moreover, the body odor she hated had completely disappeared.
Tiger Mom stood on the grass, looking at the fox meat with a puzzled expression, but her thoughts didn't last long. Her appetite was whetted by the smell of fresh blood and flesh, and she soon lowered her head and began to devour it.
As for the issue of fox meat becoming more delicious, she wouldn't even think about it, let alone remember it.
Lin Qian was unaware of the situation on Tiger Mom's side. The two brothers, who were eating meat for the first time, ate until their bellies were completely round.
They can't lie on their stomachs anymore; they can only lie on their backs on the haystack, with their little bellies facing up, to rest.
Lin Qian yawned contentedly, looking at his younger brother whose belly was rounder than his own, clearly lacking any restraint, and found it somewhat amusing.
He actually wanted to eat some more, but reason told him to know when to stop; he didn't want to upset his stomach.
Fortunately, the tiger mom also took this into consideration, and when she saw that Courage's little belly was round, she put away the brown bear meat.
I usually sleep on my stomach, so lying on my back like this is not very comfortable. But with dry grass under me, I feel much better.
Thinking of the hay, Lin Qian felt he would have to go and get some more weeds to dry later. They were growing rapidly, and the little nest made of hay was clearly not enough.
That's right, Lin Qian made himself a hay nest. Even though he had become a tiger, who wouldn't be happy to have a better quality of life? However, Lin Qian only made improvements within his means and didn't demand too much.
At first, when Lin Qian brought back the hay, Tiger Mom would take it out and clean it up. But when she found that Lin Qian was very persistent and the hay pile was quite cleaned by Lin Qian, Tiger Mom stopped cleaning it up.
After resting on the haystack for a while to digest some of the food in his stomach, Lin Qian woke up his younger brother with a paw.
Despite his brother's merciless slaps, Yongqi was quite used to it and even excitedly pounced on Lin Qian, ready to play. He thought his brother was inviting him to play together.
Lin Qian rubbed its fluffy little head, indicating that she wanted to take it outside to play.
Yeah, let's pull some weeds.
With sheer courage, he immediately dashed out, and his brother took him to play! Excited! Happy!
However, Lin Qian was surprised and then puzzled when he saw the grass suddenly growing much thicker.
What's going on?
I ate some meat, took a nap, and now the grass outside has grown so much?!
And the weeds that used to only reach his chin are now almost as tall as him. Did they use chemical fertilizer?!
Seeing his brother lost in thought, Yongqi immediately came over. He hadn't even noticed that the grass had grown taller.
Following her brother's gaze at the wild grass that was almost as tall as her, her courage slowly revealed a hint of confusion.
However, this moment of confusion was only fleeting; his little brain didn't actively think about the problem.
Lin Qian looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with the grass. Although it was a bit lush and taller, it was still just weeds, so let it grow.
He put that matter aside for the time being, deciding to find a place to sleep first.
The necessities of life are the only basic needs!
So Lin Qian and Yong Qi happily became "weed-pulling tigers," especially Yong Qi, who was very active and excited in tearing apart the tough weeds.
After taking a bite of wild grass, it excitedly sidled up to Lin Qian, howling and begging for praise.
Lin Qian, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, smiled and gave his younger brother a gentle pat on the head with great satisfaction.
Encouraged, they immediately went to work even harder on the weeds.
"Aww!" Time for my brother to chew on the grass!
Lin Qian used to not believe that wild animals had feelings, but now he has truly experienced the tenderness that belongs to wild beasts in his tiger brother, tiger mother, and tiger father.
Perhaps, when he and Yongqi grow up, they will go their separate ways and lose their current affection, but at least, before that happens, he won't have to suffer the bitterness of loneliness.
Watching her cubs tear at the grass, the tiger mother slowly yawned, then looked puzzled at the suddenly lush grass.
She remembered that the grass had grown just as lush when she was first pregnant with her cub.
However, her memory is somewhat hazy, and even if she notices such a change, she won't remember it.
This time, Tiger Mom surprisingly tried to use her limited wisdom to think about it, but naturally, the result was inconclusive.
Clearly, the inexplicable changes in nature are still beyond the Tiger Mom's intellectual comprehension; her thoughts and memories have always revolved around survival and hunting.
Of course, now there's one more thing: raising tiger cubs.
She has always been powerless to change the nature of things.
If prey becomes scarce, she'll move, just like she would during a sudden drought or other disaster.
At dinner, the tiger mother gave each of the cubs some bear offal.
Brown bears have plenty of internal organs. The tiger cubs are just starting to eat meat and can't eat too much. The two brothers could easily eat five more meals.
Well, that's assuming the brown bear meat doesn't spoil that quickly.
Having already tasted meat, the tigers were naturally unwilling to eat vegetarian food again, and both cubs' eyes lit up when they saw the brown bear meat.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi couldn't wait for the meat. As soon as they got their share, their fluffy little heads immediately plunged into the pile of meat.
After the two brothers finished eating the meat, the tiger mother fed the two cubs milk.
Tiger cubs are typically nursed for 5-6 months and are not weaned so early, so the two brothers have a meal of meat and several meals of milk every day.
Normally, tiger cubs start eating meat after two months. When they are over two and a half months old, they will occasionally go out hunting with their mothers.
For tiger cubs, going out hunting with their mother is a very exciting time.
The Lin brothers were growing very well, so the tiger mother did not hesitate to feed the cubs meat.
If this continues, the weaning time will probably be brought forward.
For the next two days, the tiger's den was peaceful and cozy. With most of the brown bears there, the mother tiger didn't need to go out hunting for the time being and could lie down in the den and enjoy a few days of peace and comfort.
Lin Qian and the tiger cubs were already able to eat their internal organs skillfully. Starting from the third day, the tiger mother stopped helping them with the process and instead helped them select the tender parts, tear them off, and let them eat them on their own.
Tiger Mom found this strange, as she remembered not having such sharp teeth and claws when she was a cub.
Back then, it took her mother a long time to help her eat offal, and she could only eat on her own after her claws and teeth grew sharp and strong enough.
Why are her cubs different? Is this a difference between male and female tigers?
The mother tiger tilted her head and watched the two cubs happily eating. After a while, she stopped caring and thought it was a good thing that the cubs were strong.
