Seeing Tiger Mom's awkward movements, Lin Qian howled to express her meaning.
After Lin Qian repeated it several times, Tiger Mom seemed to have taken it to heart.
He put the wild boar meat down again, then bent down and snapped the boar's throat bone with a snap.
The tiger claws gripped the heavy boar's head and quickly ripped it off.
After discarding a heavy piece of meat and picking up the wild boar meat, Tiger Mom clearly felt a bit lighter.
At this moment, it suddenly remembered the red fox whose limbs it had bitten off... The tiger's eyes involuntarily looked at the wild boar's four hooves, and the tiger mother thought it was a good idea.
Lin Qian was stunned to see Tiger Mom stop again and bite off a piece of the wild boar's hoof.
This... Tiger Mom can even apply what she's learned to other situations?!
Lightened by the newfound ease, the tiger mother was in high spirits. Swaying her thick tail, she walked lightly into the forest.
Lin Qian was amazed by the wisdom displayed by Tiger Mom, but she couldn't ask a question directly, so she could only bury her doubts in her heart for the time being.
Tiger Mom quickly returned to the banyan tree with the wild boar meat. The sun outside the tree was scorching hot, but the shade inside was cool and comfortable.
The tiger mother put down the wild boar meat, looked around, then jumped to the lowest tree trunk with the meat in her mouth and placed it on top.
This is one way tigers store food: hiding it in trees effectively prevents other animals from stealing it.
However, because adult tigers are quite large, the mother tiger naturally couldn't place the food in a high place, so she simply chose a lower spot to hang it.
The tiger mother was very familiar with her territory and was quite confident that no animal would dare to touch her prey under her nose.
Lin Qianjian understood her mother's actions and wanted to help her hide the food in a high place, but looking at the wild boar meat that was several times heavier than herself, she could only silently curl up her little body.
Without a second thought, Yongqi leaped up a tree, sniffing the wild boar meat with obvious satisfaction.
The little tiger cub was delighted to have so much food right in front of him.
"Roar~" The tiger mother roared from under the tree, signaling her cubs not to steal food.
Courage's gluttonous nature was so obvious that it perfectly embodied the greed of tigers.
The tiger mother was afraid that the cubs would eat a lot when she wasn't looking, and that they would overeat, which would be bad, as the cubs' digestive systems were not fully developed at this age.
Courage lowered his head obediently, while the little tiger cub made a "mmm" sound, indicating that he was just looking.
Tiger Mom, unsuspecting, lay down under the tree, ready to rest for a while.
The tiger cub had just eaten and wouldn't need to eat for a while.
Seeing that Tiger Mom was resting, Yongqi licked his little tongue and looked at the wild boar meat with eager anticipation.
"Awooo!" Lin Qian's call immediately broke the little guy's concentration.
The little tiger nimbly leaped down from the tree and ran into the tree hole.
Lin Qian looked at her little tiger brother who came at her call and patted the little guy's head with satisfaction.
"Aww~" Courage expressed his dissatisfaction with his brother messing up his fur.
Even though I'm still a little tiger cub, I still need to maintain a good image, okay?
Lin Qian could understand most of the roars of courage, and chuckled as he licked the little guy's head and groomed its fur.
Lin Qian is not only well-adapted to licking his own fur, but also very skilled at it.
As his brother groomed his fur, Courage let out a happy low growl, his little ears twitched, and the white spots on the back of his ears seemed to radiate joy.
The two tiger cubs were licking each other's fur, a tender and affectionate scene.
The sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly.
After their wild boar meat reserves were exhausted, Lin Qian and her son embarked on another journey to find a "new home".
Speaking of which, Lin Qian felt that Tiger Mom wasn't in a hurry to find a new home at all; Tiger Mom's lifestyle was more like taking things as they come.
They can stay wherever they go, and if there's enough food, they can stay in one place for three to five days without moving.
The tiger mother was indeed quite casual in her choice of resting place, because tigers don't have high requirements for their resting areas. And since there are few animals in the forest that could threaten a tiger's safety, they naturally don't need to consider the security of their dwelling.
What they care about is whether the living area is suitable for their survival. As long as this is met, the entire area will be their resting place.
Tigers are large felines that have very strict requirements for their habitat.
First, the density of vegetation is crucial; only sufficiently lush vegetation can help tigers conceal themselves.
Because the stripes on a tiger's body provide excellent camouflage.
Deer and other ungulates cannot distinguish colors like humans do. To them, a tiger's fur is not bright orange, but green.
This is why sometimes when a tiger hides in the bushes only three or four meters away from its prey, the prey seems to "ignore" the tiger.
Only when tigers enter open areas do their fur lose some of its protective function.
Furthermore, there is the sufficiency of prey and whether it is conducive to successful reproduction.
In Lin Qian's previous understanding, the reproduction of the race was the most difficult condition.
He vaguely remembered seeing a news report about a Siberian tiger that had searched for three thousand miles but still couldn't find a female tiger.
The story goes that in the land of Yingdu, a male tiger embarked on an "epic journey" in search of territory, food, and a mate.
Over a period of 13 months, the tiger traveled more than 3,000 kilometers, setting a record for the longest migration ever recorded.
This male tiger is a Bengal tiger, its code name is C1, and it was 3 and a half years old at the time.
During its journey of more than 3,000 kilometers, the male tiger C1 traversed different forest landscapes and rivers within the reserve, as well as human-made roads, villages, and farmlands.
Why did the Tiger C1 go to such lengths to undertake this amazing long-distance migration?
They are simply looking for a territory—a territory with forests, prey, water, mates, not too much competition among male tigers, and minimal human disturbance.
However, during the male tiger C1's long journey, it found a suitable forest but failed to find a mate.
Reproduction has become C1's biggest challenge.
But clearly, Tiger Mom doesn't have the worries of C1, because this forest perfectly meets the survival requirements of tigers.
Compared to the miserable C1, the tiger dad is the real winner in tiger life, not only having a beautiful and young spouse like the tiger mom, but also having his own offspring.
Although the mother tiger led her cubs around, they did not leave the forest. The mother tiger and the two cubs walked slowly through the forest, seemingly aimless but subtly maintaining a general direction of movement.
The tiger mother was purposefully leading her cubs to familiarize themselves with the forest, because, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would be living there for quite some time.
The mother tiger led her cubs through the forest, not only to find a new home and familiarize themselves with the environment, but also to rebuild her authority.
