The arrival of autumn brings with it fallen leaves and fruit that frequently float across the river.
The fish at the bottom of the river are attracted by things on the surface of the river, and from time to time they swim up to touch the fallen leaves or take a bite of a small fruit.
"Smack!"
A splash of water echoed across the river.
Courage was half-submerged in the river, his eyes fixed intently on the surface.
As soon as something floats by, the tiger cub quickly extends its paw to slap and hold it down.
For a moment, even the fish dared not swim over.
The little tiger was a bit annoyed; it wasn't the leaves and fruit it wanted to grab!
It's a little creature swimming in the water!
It's been curious about these little things for a long time!
"Awooo!"
Frustrated by its repeated unsuccessful attempts to pounce, the little tiger roared furiously at the water's surface, its threat intensifying.
Lin Qian found its silly antics both amusing and exasperating.
"Ouch." He's gone.
We've run this far; if Tiger Mom finds us, it'll be terrible. We'd better hurry back and catch some rabbits to play with.
Courage is unhappy.
"Awooo!" I won't leave!
The little tiger clapped its paws vigorously, getting its whole body wet from the splashing river water.
Seeing that Yongqi had taken an interest in the river fish, Lin Qian's eyes lit up. He thought of the saying "autumn fish are plump and delicious."
The thought of fish naturally whets the appetite.
Come to think of it, he hasn't eaten fish for over half a year...
As a feline, how can it not taste fish?
Once this thought crossed my mind, I started making plans.
"Awooo." Turning his head and letting out a low growl at courage, Lin Qian was the first to leap into the river.
Courage leaped, and like a small cannonball, it crashed into the water.
Two tiger cubs dived into the river, using their skillful and superb diving techniques to search for their target underwater.
Lin Qian tried his best to remain still, and Qiong obediently did the same, carefully searching for his target.
Soon, some fish revealed themselves, and Lin Qianchao gave them a friendly nod.
The two brothers instantly coordinated and set off.
The river water instantly became murky, and Lin Qian and Qiong could barely see the swimming fish, but their feline talents and wild instincts made them invincible.
A pair of tiger claws extended sharp hooks, like the scythe of death.
Fish are slippery and move freely underwater.
But once you encounter a tiger's claws, even the most slippery creature is useless.
"Splash!"
Less than three minutes later, two splashes of water were heard.
Two little tigers, each with a fish in its paw, returned home laden with their catch.
Standing by the river, Lin Qian looked at the fish under his claws. The sharp claws had already pierced the fish's body, and streaks of blood were spreading in the shallow water on the riverbank.
Courage caught a creature in the water for the first time, its tiger eyes staring curiously at the fish beneath its claws.
The little paws twitched a few times, then it hugged the baby, sniffing and licking it—it was just a curious little thing.
On the other side, Lin Qian had already scraped off the scales from the fish with his claws.
Although as a tiger, swallowing fish scales whole shouldn't be a problem, it still felt strangely unsettling, so Lin Qian still scraped the fish scales off slightly with his claws.
Then cut open the fish's belly and scrape out all the internal organs.
The fish's gallbladder affects the taste, and it's unknown whether this will affect the tiger's sense of taste, but he still carefully removed it.
Anyway, the fish's internal organs aren't that big, so it's not a waste not to eat them.
After giving the fish a quick cleaning, Lin Qian rinsed it again. As a tiger with a personality, he still had a pursuit of quality of life.
Given the opportunity, he would naturally prefer to be a refined and stylish tiger cub!
Lin Qian chose a flat stone as a dining table before he began to eat.
Fresh river fish have a fishy smell, a smell that was once unpleasant to humans, but now it smells delicious and can even whet the appetite.
The fish has bones, but Lin Qian doesn't need to worry about that at all.
With a flick of the tongue, the soft, supple barbs instantly become a magic weapon for eating fish.
The barbs on the tip of the tongue easily picked out the fish bones, and with a forceful lick, the scarlet little tongue acted like a boning knife, scraping the fish meat off directly.
With a flick of the tongue, the fresh fish meat was swallowed.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
With his nimble tongue scraping flesh off the river fish, Lin Qian was completely immersed in the joy of eating fish.
The curious little boy, seeing that his older brother had already started eating, stopped wasting time observing.
Compared to Lin Qian's "elegant and meticulous" fish-eating steps, Yong Qi's was wildly unrestrained.
The little tiger opened its mouth and first bit the fish head. The hard fish head had no meat, so it licked it with its little tongue and then went to lick the fish body.
Upon discovering the scales, it immediately used its tiny paws to peel off the fish skin, removing the scales and skin together. Then, it eagerly licked the fish meat, swallowing a large piece of delicious fish meat into its belly.
The answer to the question of whether tigers will eat fish is obvious.
According to human observations, all felines except lions eat fish.
Someone once specifically tested whether tigers eat fish, and it turns out that tigers not only eat fish, but also like to eat fish meat.
The most amazing thing is that the tiger was born and raised in a zoo and had never seen a fish in its entire life.
But when eating a whole raw fish for the first time, its technique is quite skillful.
After peeling off the fish skin, it naturally uses its barbed tongue to pick out the fish bones, as if it already knew that there were fine bones inside the fish.
The two brothers smacked their lips as they enjoyed a delicious fish feast, their little tails wagging happily behind them.
