With no hidden injuries and her physical condition fully recovered and enhanced, the tiger mother is no longer the ordinary tigress she once was.
The brown bear seemed momentarily stunned by the tigress's roar, but upon realizing what was happening, and hearing the tigress continue to emit intimidating growls, it decisively chose to retreat.
It was just a chance encounter; there's no need to fight it out.
The roar of a tiger is terrifying because it is so loud that it can be heard even 3,200 meters away.
Tigers also have another weapon: a roar. They can produce a deep, resonant roar at an ultra-low frequency.
Although humans cannot hear, they can feel it with their bodies.
The combination of deafening roars and ultra-low-pitched howls can cause temporary paralysis in humans and other animals.
If the distance is close enough, some animals may be so frightened that they become paralyzed and unable to move.
The brown bear was clearly unprepared for this and thus fell victim to the attack.
Seeing the brown bear leave, the tiger mother's eyes gleamed with pride; she no longer needed to fear such a large creature.
Courage was thrilled by its mother's bravery and excitedly ran around its mother's front legs.
Lin Qian was still captivated by the sound of the Emperor Engine.
Tiger Mom's deep growl just now was so beautiful!
Yes, the tiger's roar that would instill fear in brown bears was nothing but charm to Lin Qian, the little tiger cub.
Normally, Tiger Mom wouldn't roar like that. From birth until now, Lin Qian has only heard Tiger Mom roar four or five times.
The tiger roars only when the mother tiger goes out hunting, and she uses the roar to intimidate other animals outside the den.
When they go out hunting, the tiger mother basically doesn't make a sound.
Tigers usually don't roar when hunting, because a loud roar would scare away potential prey, thus causing the hunt to fail.
Tigers will only try to intimidate prey that is already bewildered unless the prey intends to fight back.
Or, like today, a tiger only roars intimidatingly when it encounters an opponent it needs to force back.
A tiger's roar can intimidate and paralyze animals, including humans, but the key is the very low frequency of the sound, not a particularly loud one. That's why the mother tiger's growl was deep and resonant.
Tigers have better hearing than humans, and can produce sounds at different frequencies.
Tigers can emit sounds below 20 Hz, which are called "infrasound".
The same applies to animals like whales, elephants, and rhinos.
Infrasound can travel very far, penetrating buildings, passing through dense forests, and even crossing mountains.
The lower the frequency, the farther the sound travels.
Therefore, sometimes even though a tiger's roar may not be loud, it can still transmit information over long distances.
Other tigers in the distance could also hear the transmitted sounds and respond.
Bioacoustics have discovered that tigers can emit sounds at a frequency of about 18 Hz, and when they attempt to intimidate other animals, they can also emit sounds at significantly lower frequencies.
When a tiger emits a sound below 20 Hz, it can paralyze the animal to some extent.
It can have a direct physiological impact on the human body, causing people to feel a chill down their spine, experience tinnitus, or even become unable to move!
The roar of a tiger, as commonly referred to, is mostly a means by which tigers intimidate the forests and assert their dominance.
A tiger's actual roar as an attack is usually very low and not loud.
Of course, the roar of a tiger is equally powerful. It is said that some people have been scared to death by the roar of a tiger.
Having driven the brown bear away, the mother and her three cubs continued their advance.
The dark clouds were dispersed by the golden sunlight.
Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the sun reappear.
The lush green grass, glistening with dewdrops, was a sight Lin Qian leisurely surveyed. Suddenly, a plant that looked familiar caught his eye.
The tiger cub moved its limbs, pushed aside the branches and leaves of the bushes, and successfully stood in front of the plant.
"Ginseng!" Lin Qian exclaimed inwardly, then lowered his head to sniff it.
This is a tiger's instinct; nowadays, he will subconsciously sniff anything he sees first.
The faint ginseng aroma enters the nasal cavity, mostly a mixture of muddy water and grassy leaves.
Lin Qian hesitated about whether to dig out the ginseng, but Yongqi had already come up and nuzzled his fur, asking a question.
"Aww~", brother, what fun thing did you find?
Seeing that Tiger Mom had also appeared behind him at some point, Lin Qian no longer hesitated, stretched out his two paws, and started digging vigorously.
Courage, feeling curious, stretched out its furry little paws to dig a hole as well, but clearly, its little paws were aimless and did not help at all.
The mother tiger watched her cubs digging a hole, but didn't urge or disturb them; she simply lay quietly to the side.
Aside from hunting, the tiger mother does not stop her cubs from playing.
After peeling off most of it, Lin Qian opened his mouth and bit down on the ginseng, then wiggled it from side to side to loosen it.
With a "pop!" sound, the ginseng was successfully bitten out.
Courage looked at the plant his brother was holding in his mouth, his pale yellow eyes filled with doubt.
Lin Qian stuck out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth, tearing and grinding his teeth for a while before swallowing the ginseng.
Courage stared wide-eyed in shock at his brother, letting out two loud howls.
She seemed completely unable to understand why her brother would eat plants.
They are tigers, carnivores!
Lin Qian licked his lips, but apart from a faint ginseng scent, there was nothing else, and his mouth tasted almost nothing.
When I was a human, I had very little memory of that herbal smell.
A tiger's taste buds can't taste ginseng?
Lin Qian was puzzled for a moment, but didn't dwell on it too much. It was normal that he couldn't taste it, after all, he was a tiger now, so naturally there would be differences compared to humans.
Tigers and humans definitely have different senses of taste.
As for whether eating ginseng would have any adverse effects on the body, Lin Qian was not worried. He remembered that tigers do eat plants, but they rarely do so unless absolutely necessary.
Lin Qian was right; felines only have about 800 taste buds, which is pitifully few compared to the 9,000 humans have.
Furthermore, tigers are naturally unable to taste sweetness.
Out of caution, Lin Qian stopped eating ginseng, mainly because he was unsure if his two-month-old body could handle such "heavy tonics".
The little tiger cub grabbed the ginseng and ran towards its mother.
The tiger mother looked at the plant her cub had brought with a puzzled expression.
"Aww~" Mom, this is delicious and very nutritious!
Lin Qian rubbed against Tiger Mom's fur, expressing his filial piety.
As a cub that is only two months old, his digestive system may not be able to handle such a potent tonic as ginseng.
But tiger mothers are different; an adult tiger can't possibly be unable to digest a ginseng root.
Ginseng should be beneficial to both humans and animals.
