Tiger Mom's ears were extremely sensitive. With the slightest movement of the summer breeze, the white spots behind her ears twitched slightly, as if they had caught some information.
In the bushes, the verdant leaves were gently tugged, and the sound of chewing was so subtle yet so melodious.
This is a fully grown male roe deer, calmly feeding on the lush, low shrubs, its tender green leaves delicious and juicy.
As the roe deer contentedly chewed on the tender leaves, it would occasionally raise its head warily to observe the surrounding rustling grass.
Summer is when plants are at their most lush and abundant. Herbivores don't have to worry about going hungry during this season. As long as they ensure their own safety, they can spend this hot season without any worries.
The roe deer has a tuft of white fur growing under its tail, as white and flawless as snow. When they are startled, their white tails will bristle, like a snow lotus.
They usually move in pairs, and their exploded tails can serve as a timely warning.
In winter, when the herd gathers together to forage and care for their young, they can use their conspicuous tails to guide the cubs' attention and prevent them from getting lost.
But at this moment, there is only one roe deer here.
It is clearly a single roe deer.
Summer is the mating season for roe deer, and it seems this male roe deer hasn't found a mate yet.
Unfortunately, it may never have another chance to seduce a female roe deer.
The tigress, lurking and closing in, was less than ten meters away from the roe deer. Her tiger eyes grew increasingly lazy as she got closer to her prey.
Those leisurely, silent footsteps, seemingly like a stroll, are the footsteps of death; the relaxed posture is the tiger's optimal hunting state.
The tiger's colorful body leaped out of the bushes in an instant, nimble and swift.
The roe deer was so frightened that it cried out and fled in panic.
The tiger mother's calm eyes remained unwavering; the roe deer's escape was exactly what she had anticipated.
With a scream, the roe deer's tail behind its rump instantly burst open, a bright, white, fluffy ball that stood out conspicuously in the dense forest.
However, before the roe deer could leap over the tall grass, its panicked body was ambushed and forced to fall.
As the scarlet tiger's mouth came at the roe deer, the roe deer stared wide-eyed in terror, its ears twitching incessantly.
A terrified sob rang out, then abruptly stopped.
The tiger mother had already bitten through the roe deer's throat.
The fresh blood, like sweet spring water, made Tiger Mom's stomach begin to burn.
Seeing that Tiger Mom had pounced on her prey, Lin Qian and Yong Qi immediately ran up excitedly, howling.
When the mother tiger spotted her prey, she bent down and gave her cubs a comforting lick.
Lin Qian understood immediately and stretched out her little paw to press down on her younger brother's round head.
Courage instinctively knew that his mother was going hunting, so he didn't make a fuss and obediently stayed close to his brother.
The two cubs lay quietly in the bushes, watching their mother slowly approach the naive roe deer, oblivious to the danger.
Upon seeing her cubs, the mother tiger immediately released her grip, tore open the roe deer's belly, and began to eat.
The two tiger cubs are now able to feed themselves and do not need its help to tear off pieces of meat.
Courage hurriedly approached his mother, burying his little head in her internal organs to eat.
Eating internal organs is the instinct of wild beasts, but Lin Qian obviously wouldn't follow that instinct.
He tore at the roe deer's fur alone, wanting to swallow the roe deer's delicious belly meat.
Seeing her cubs being willful again, the tiger mother immediately tore off a piece of the roe deer's heart and let out a helpless growl at Lin Qian.
"roar."
Lin Qian wagged its little tail and immediately picked up the roe deer's heart and began to tear it apart with delight.
He did it on purpose.
Since he started eating meat, Lin Qian has accumulated some experience. He has found that the best-tasting offal is the heart and liver, and his favorite is the heart.
Because this part is the cleanest and least likely to get contaminated with other things.
But Tiger Mom usually eats his heart. Since he recovered from his injury, Tiger Mom hasn't given him any special treatment.
But he's clever; after a little thought, he managed to get Tiger Mom to continue giving him extra tutoring.
The tiger mother was somewhat helpless about her cubs' picky eating, but she was also worried that the cubs would be unhealthy if they didn't eat their internal organs, so she had no choice but to compromise.
Courage had no objection to his brother monopolizing the most delicious and nutritious offal, since Lin Qian had already taken the position of the eldest.
In the minds of predators, the heart of the prey belongs to the strong.
And since my brother doesn't eat other offal, it means everything else belongs to him! A great deal!
When Yongqi finished eating the offal and turned back to eat the meat, he found that his older brother had already devoured a large piece of meat.
The tiger cub immediately roared and pounced on another area of tender flesh.
While feeding, the mother tiger intentionally gave the softest and most tender parts of the roe deer to her cubs, while she herself gnawed on the tougher leg meat.
Herbivores are probably best at escaping, so their thigh muscles are the most developed, have the most tendons, are the chewiest, and are the hardest to tear apart.
But as a tiger, the mother tiger has sharp teeth and is not afraid of meat or tendons at all; on the contrary, she finds it more and more delicious.
However, Lin Qianhe is still young and his teeth are not sharp enough. He can only eat tender meat for now, and he can't bite into meat with a lot of tendons like thigh meat.
Apart from the thigh meat, the meat from other parts of the roe deer is perfectly suitable for the two tiger cubs to eat on their own.
Roe deer meat is completely lean, with no fat on its entire body. The meat is very tender and delicious, earning it the title of "King of Lean Meat".
Lin Qian had heard about the deliciousness of roe deer meat before, but he had never actually tasted it. Now that he had taken a bite, he had to exclaim that the meat was truly delicious!
After marveling at it, I couldn't help but think, "Humans really know how to eat!"
This roe deer weighs nearly 40 kilograms. After removing the bones and inedible parts like hooves, it weighs only about 20 kilograms.
Tigers generally don't eat the hooves below the lower legs of their prey, and they generally won't eat other parts of the body that have little meat unless they are very hungry.
Tiger Mom eats 15 kilograms in one meal, while Lin Qian and Yong Qi can eat 5-7 kilograms.
So this one roe deer was enough for the mother and her two cubs to have one meal; the scraps and a little bit of meat left over could be left for any other animals in the forest that might be destined to live there.
There are plenty of scavengers in the forest; this roe deer won't even last until tomorrow.
After a hearty meal, the mother and her three children were quite content. Today's delicious food meant they could relax again tomorrow.
The mother tiger led her cubs in a straight line through the forest, very purposefully. Lin Qian thought that the mother tiger probably had a destination in mind.
Sure enough, after walking about two kilometers, the mother tiger led her cubs into a lush meadow. In a patch of messy grass stood a huge banyan tree with a lush canopy, perfect for providing shade.
Tiger Mom went to the tree first, walked around the banyan tree, observed it, cleaned the hole under the banyan tree, and only lay down next to it after confirming that there was no danger.
