Individual advantages are not just about preferential treatment in resources, but even include life itself.
When the surrounding environment changes and food becomes scarce, the mother tiger will give more food to the cub to ensure its survival. If the situation changes and the mother tiger can only save one cub, she will choose the one with the advantage.
Because it was stronger than the other tiger cubs, it had a higher chance of surviving the harsh environment that followed.
Normally, tiger cubs establish their hierarchy around 5-6 months old.
But clearly, the hierarchy of courage and bravery has been established, and Lin Qian is the dominant young tiger in this den.
Although he now only has one younger brother to manage, this does not prevent him from exercising his 'power'.
The mother tiger nuzzled Lin Qian contentedly, then gracefully flicked her tail, leading her cubs out of the cave for the first time.
Tigers raise their cubs based entirely on their growth and development, without calculating specific timeframes. Generally, once a cub's physical development reaches a certain standard, it can move on to the next stage.
After being baptized by the fruit's energy, Lin Qian and Yong Qi's bodies have grown considerably larger than those of a typical two-month-old tiger cub. Currently, the two brothers are almost the size of a three-month-old cub, which can be considered very good.
Lin Qian jogged along, closely following Tiger Mom out of the tiger's den. The unfamiliar scenery along the way excited both Lin Qian and Yongqi.
Lin Qian was already very familiar with the area around the tiger's den, so naturally it wasn't as attractive as the scenery outside.
Courage is entirely driven by curiosity. Since its birth, it has seen very few sights and things, and this stage is precisely when the young tiger is most active in exploring its environment.
The tiger mother didn't urge the cubs to play, but gently and affectionately watched over them, as long as they didn't leave her sight.
Gradually, the three tigers walked to the riverbank. It turned out that the mother tiger had brought them there to drink water.
Because she had been drinking milk all the time, Lin Qian had never needed water. She drank tiger milk several times a day and was never thirsty.
Seeing the clear river flowing slowly past him, Lin Qian couldn't help but feel thirsty.
The cool taste from his memory was awakening, and even though the river water in front of him was raw, Lin Qian had no qualms about it.
After all, he's a tiger cub now, wild, so it's perfectly normal for him to drink tap water.
The tiger mother strolled to the riverbank without any hesitation, lowered her head and began to drink, without the slightest qualms.
Lin Qian thought about it and understood. They were Siberian tigers, the overlords of the mountains and forests. Who would dare to challenge their status?
The wild animals outside would be terrified if they smelled their scent.
Even wild animals, seeing the tiger mother's strong physique, would be wary and choose to go around her.
Wild animals all know the saying "don't mess with a tigress," as female tigers in their breeding season are even more ferocious than male tigers.
Lin Qian immediately ran to the riverbank, stood next to Tiger Mom, lowered her head and put her little head on the water, her tiger paws on the rocks in the shallow water on the riverbank, and her pink tongue licked the cool river water little by little.
As the moisture seeped into his throat, Lin Qian felt the tiger instantly become full of energy.
Courage, being naturally curious, was seeing a river for the first time and began to wander along the riverbank, looking around curiously.
Seeing that the cubs had run a little too far, the mother tiger would growl frequently, urging her cubs to come back quickly.
Despite his curiosity, he was still a well-behaved tiger. Upon hearing his mother's call, he immediately turned back.
Seeing her brother enjoying drinking water by the river, she bravely ran over, intending to get closer to him, but then she stumbled.
With a "plop," he fell into the river.
The tiger cub wasn't watching where it was going, and it fell quite hard. Luckily, there was water below, so there's no need to worry about it getting hurt.
"Awooo!"
The little tiger was thrashing about in the water with its four little paws, and it opened its mouth in fright, crying out for help.
Awooo!!!
Mother!
elder brother!
So much water!
?︵?ヽ(°□°)ノ︵?︵?
Courage's fluffy fur was completely soaked, and its limbs splashed water everywhere, making it look like a drowned tiger.
The tiger mother, who was drinking water by the river, looked up but lost the courage to roar. A hint of confusion appeared in her tiger eyes.
Lin Qian was startled when she saw her younger brother fall into the water. Seeing that her mother, Tiger Mom, was indifferent, she immediately rushed into the river.
Lin Qian was terrified when he went into the water.
I can't swim!!!
save……
Why? ? ?
etc……('?_?)
When did I learn to swim?!
Lin Qian was stunned as he watched his limbs flailing about in the river water with perfect natural movements.
Looking back at courage.
Good heavens!
The little tiger was already splashing around in the river, having a great time playing in the water!
Lin Qian was speechless. He remembered that tigers could swim.
So swimming is an innate skill?
Was Tiger Mom's expression just now an expression of frustration with Courage's flustered state?
After understanding why Tiger Mom was unmoved, Lin Qian felt a little embarrassed.
Indeed, the tiger mother's love and care for them goes without saying; if there were any dangers, how could she not step in?
All the knowledge I had about tigers suddenly came flooding back to me: tigers can not only climb trees, but also swim and dive.
He seemed to have heard before that Siberian tigers could cross the HLJ!
Thinking about this, Lin Qian was eager to try it out. His swimming and diving skills were amazing! He had to learn them!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Lin Qian immediately submerged his body in the water and began to test his diving skills.
