Chapter 2 Practice physical fitness by yourself
When Chu Ye was in the bushes, he faced a loving lioness every day. She had nothing to do except suck milk and play. There were no other lions or other animals in sight.
The places where lions give birth to their cubs are in very secluded places to avoid being discovered by other predators.
Although lions are the kings of the grasslands, their cubs are also delicacies in the mouths of other predators.
Given the opportunity, hyenas will attack lion cubs.
In addition, there are predators such as wild dogs, cheetahs, and leopards that may attack lion cubs.
In fact, not only these carnivores, but also herbivores will chase and kill lion cubs without mercy.
Especially buffalo, a big, bad-tempered guy. They are natural enemies with lions, as if they have a deep hatred.
However, from a human perspective, there is indeed a deep hatred between them, because there are many buffaloes that are eaten by lions.
There are also many lions that have been taken care of by buffaloes, including many lion cubs.
In this way, these two animals do have a deep hatred.
It can be said that the number of lions that die under the horns is no less than the number of buffaloes that lions eat.
Chu Ye returned to the big family, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Because from now on, it may face more dangers.
First of all, the male lion of this pride is the key factor that determines whether the little lions can live forever.
Because a male lion generally does not lead a pride for too long. Only a particularly strong lion can rule for several years. The average male lion will not rule a pride for more than a year.
If the male lions of a pride are replaced by other stray male lions, then all the young lions will face disaster.
Chu Ye knew his situation very well. How long he and the other lion cubs could live depended on how long the lion father could be in power.
However, Jike is still very young and strong, and it seems that there is no need to worry about other stray lions taking his place for the time being.
But no matter what, such dangers are always present. Because some of the wandering lions are male lion brothers. If you encounter male lion brothers, a group of lions led by a single male lion will be more dangerous.
However, if the lion king is very young and strong, the lionesses in the pride will not stand idly by when encountering such a situation. They will definitely help the Lion King and defeat the invading lion brothers.
Although Zeke may encounter the male lion brothers, Kaisa and Lisa are still very strong. When the time comes, they can fight side by side with Zeke and fight off the invading lion brothers together.
Therefore, Chu Ye does not have to worry about his lion king father being replaced by another lion for the time being. However, this kind of danger may happen at any time. After all, no lion king can securely sit on the throne, and there will always be challengers who will appear at any time.
Chu Ye is still worried about some predators. Because the dry season is coming, lion cubs have become a delicacy in the eyes of some predators.
Jike may have realized something. When the little lions returned to him, he took the time to train these little guys.
Although the male lion is training these little lions, his method is really not very good.
To be honest, although the male lion is tall and strong, he really has no experience in hunting.
In this regard, lionesses can definitely be teachers of male lions.
It can be seen from their division of labor that male lions are not good at hunting.
After male lions become lion kings, they basically stop hunting.
Although they also hunt during the dry season, they mainly help their wives with their work.
In the hunting process, the lioness still plays the leading role.
The male lion is just cooperating with the female lion.
Male lions are only good at fighting, but female lions are better at hunting.
Although Jike also wants to train his children, he really doesn't have any clever tricks.
He would just lie down on the ground, then jump forward and make a sneak attack.
This is how I teach my children every day.
Apart from this action, it seems to have no other hunting actions.
After Chu Ye trained with the Lion King instructor for a few days, he felt that the instructor was incompetent and that he could not learn anything useful from him.
Although the lionesses have good hunting experience, there are only two lionesses in this lion group, and they have no time to train their children.
Because they are single and weak, the two lionesses often fail to hunt at night and have to work overtime during the day.
From now on, Chu Ye and the other little lions can really only rely on themselves.
Although the lion wants to teach children, he really doesn't have the ability.
Moreover, it doesn't have much patience. It just teaches for a while and then goes to sleep.
"No, I'd better train myself! I can't learn any useful hunting skills from this idiot Lion King."
Chu Ye felt that if he kept training with the Lion King, he would have no training and would not be able to learn useful skills at all.
"I am still very young, and my hunting skills are of little use. No matter how superb hunting skills I have learned, they are of no use in the face of powerful prey and predators."
"I should exercise my physical fitness to make my body stronger. Also, I don't seem to need the ability to hunt, but the ability to escape."
Chu Ye knew very well that for a lion cub that was one or two months old, any hunting skills were useless.
Only the ability to escape is important. Being so weak, when faced with danger, what else can he do except run away.
"Running, climbing trees. These are the skills I need to master now."
Chu Ye made such a decision.
The dry season is coming, and when the time comes, the only thing that can save it is not the male lion or the lioness, nor any hunting skills, but only running away and climbing trees.
So, Chu Ye had nothing to do, so he began to train his physical fitness. He ran around on the grass, but he didn't dare to run too far, so he could only circle around a nearby big tree.
When I was tired from running, I went over to practice my tree climbing ability. Practice for a while and then go running again.
At first the other little lions didn't pay much attention to it. But slowly, its weird behavior made the other little lions confused. They didn't understand what was wrong with this little lion, why it couldn't sit still and was tossing on the grass all day long.
While the other lion cubs were lying under the big tree to rest and cool off, Chu Xiaoye was still training enthusiastically on running and climbing trees.
Even the lion Jike felt strange. He didn't understand what was wrong with this child, whether his brain was abnormal and why he didn't know how to rest.
