Chapter 15 Hyena Attack
And the same is true for hyenas. Hyenas also allow other animals to roam their territory, but lions are an exception.
From this point of view, the relationship between lions and hyenas is indeed incompatible.
Once a lion encounters a hyena, it will attack the hyena. Even if they kill hyenas, they generally won't eat them.
This may be the reason why hyena meat is really unpalatable. Of course, it may also be because the lion is not hungry.
Once a hyena pack encounters a prey hunted by a lioness, it will come to snatch it. As long as the male lions are not around, the hyenas will not take the lionesses seriously.
When Chu Ye saw these dozen hyenas moving around the border of their pride's territory, he knew that they must have good intentions. They must be targeting the pride of Jike.
Generally speaking, the biggest threat to lion cubs is hyenas. This may also be because hyenas and lions have endless grudges and grudges.
Chu Ye also understands this knowledge. When he saw this group of hyenas moving in their territory, he knew that these guys must have some purpose.
"Fuck, are these despicable and dirty guys trying to trick us little lions?" Chu Ye used human thinking to easily understand the intentions of these hyenas.
In fact, these hyenas are also targeting the Jik lion pride.
Of course they don't think about hunting adult lions, their targets are these young lions.
Generally speaking, hyenas will not attack lion cubs in a pride during the rainy season because they have a lot of prey to catch.
But in the dry season, it's different. Due to lack of food. Hyenas would then have to take risks to hunt the young of other animals.
Lion cubs are one of the delicacies that hyenas like to eat. During the dry season, there will be a large number of lion cubs that will be eaten by hyenas.
The leader of this hyena pack is called Nila. She is a very experienced female hyena. She has been leading this hyena group for two or three years.
Hyena Queen Nila is now leading more than a dozen members of the group to inquire about the situation of the Jik lion group at the boundary of its territory.
After several days of inquiring, Nila knew that the strength of this lion group was not very good. It consists of only one male lion and two female lions.
Not only is his strength not very good, but he also raises ten lion cubs.
These ten lion cubs are only more than three months old and have no fighting ability at all.
After Nila inquired about this situation, she felt that this lion group could make a sneak attack. If successful, the ten lion cubs will become delicacies for the hyenas.
However, as long as the male lions are with their cubs, the hyenas will not dare to act rashly.
Although hyenas are very powerful, they can compete with lions. That's just competing with the lioness. Hyenas generally stay away from male lions and are unwilling to have a head-on conflict with them.
Generally speaking, in a lion pride, as long as there is a male lion protecting the cubs at home, the cubs are relatively safe.
Even if the hyena queen saw that there were many lion cubs in this pride, she would not dare to lead her team to steal food.
But if the male lion is not around, the hyenas will take the opportunity to steal the lion cubs.
Now that Chu Ye discovered this group of hyenas snooping around the border of their territory, he felt a little uneasy. Because these hyenas are no better than those lions. The lion came just to challenge the lion king. In fact, they do not directly regard the lion cub as a target.
After the male lion successfully seizes power, the reason why he kills the lion cubs is not to eat them. Just to let the lioness breed her own offspring.
Therefore, relatively speaking, a stray male lion may not be as serious a threat to a lion group as a group of hyenas.
When Chu Ye saw these sneaky hyenas, he felt an uneasy atmosphere hanging over the little lions of the Jike pride.
Chu Ye really wanted to tell the lion Jike what he thought. But unfortunately he couldn't communicate with Jike. Therefore, Chu Ye could only wait and see what happened, and he was also thinking about how he should deal with these hateful hyenas.
"Hey! Can't I use killer bees? Then why not use killer bees to deal with these despicable hyenas!" Chu Ye thought of the trick he had used before.
"I can use killer bees to drive away a big male lion, but can't I deal with this group of shameless dogs?" Chu Ye felt that he could repeat his old trick and use killer bees to deal with this group of hateful hyenas.
Of course, Chu Ye thought things were too simple. The reason why the hyena is called the second brother of Africa is not for nothing, there must be a reason.
The next day, the weather was just as good. Is it the dry season? It’s hard to see rainy days.
Now is the dry season, and there are often male lion invasions during the day. Today, Jike planned to inspect the southern territory in the morning while the weather was cool.
Because these lion invasions all came from the south.
Chu Ye and a group of little lions were running around under the big tree.
For these little lions, no matter what the dry or rainy season is, for them, apart from sucking milk and eating some unpalatable meat, they are just playing.
Last night, the two lionesses succeeded in hunting. They caught an adult impala and gave the three adult lions in the pride a feast. By the way, they also gave the ten lion cubs a taste of mutton. .
Lisa and Elsa lay down under the big tree to rest. A group of little lions, playing around them, is really a heartwarming picture.
Even Chu Ye felt very happy. He was in a good mood as he rubbed himself next to Lisa and felt the sunshine of maternal love.
'Woo! ——Woo! ——'
Suddenly, there was a burst of animal screams from the north of the territory.
When Lisa and Aisha heard this, they immediately stood up and looked nervously at the northern border of the territory.
Chu Ye was the same. He became nervous when he heard the scream.
But the nine little lions were still jumping around. To them, this scream seems to have nothing to do with them.
When Chu Ye heard the scream, he immediately climbed up the tree and looked towards the north of the territory. As soon as he saw it, his eyes widened in surprise.
From the north of the territory, a group of spotted hyenas ran over. There are about seventeen or eighteen of them. Led by a strong female leader, they ran directly towards Chu Ye and the others.
Obviously, the hyenas came prepared. They were sure that the lion king Jike was not among the lions, so they decided to sneak attack on the weak lions.
The leader of this hyena group is Nila. After several days of observation, he learned some characteristics of this lion group.
