Chapter 33 Wild Dogs Attack
On the beautiful and cruel prairie, a silver moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the entire prairie brightly.
A group of Kut wild dogs held a strange ceremony next to a bush.
This patch of bush is the territorial boundary between the wild dogs and the lions.
Kurt was surrounded by some young male wild dogs.
Kurt sneezed first. Then, he looked at several other male wild dogs.
After the other eight male wild dogs saw Kurt sneezing, they all sneezed too.
Then, Kut led these eight male wild dogs and twelve female wild dogs to form a sixteen wild dog army led by Kut, and set off towards the Jik lion group.
This is a democratic voting ceremony held by wild dog groups while hunting.
Wild dogs are very social animals, and they also discuss things before going out to hunt. If everyone agrees, they will hunt together. If many people are unwilling, they cannot hunt.
Although Kurt is the leader of this wild dog group, it does not mean that he can have the final say in everything. In the face of such a big event as hunting, Kurt does not have the final say alone, but only if other male wild dogs with good hunting experience in the wild dog group agree to go hunting together.
The wild dog queen Hill did not go hunting. She was taking care of her dozen pups in the rear with some other female wild dogs.
Because wild dog pups also face the possibility of being preyed upon by other predators. There are other hyena packs nearby. If they know that the cubs in the wild dog group are unsupervised, they will take the opportunity to attack.
Hyenas and wild dogs, although somewhat related in their evolutionary path. But on the road of survival, they are all enemies.
Wild dogs will not go out in full force to hunt, they will always stay behind to look after the home. Some young female wild dogs will act as nannies at this time. They will not only take care of the cubs, but also take care of some old, weak, sick and disabled wild dogs.
Wild dogs are the only animals on the savannah that care for their older peers. Except for wild dogs, no animal cares for its elderly peers. in other populations. Older people of the same species can only be expelled from the team and cannot be taken care of at all.
Especially during the dry season, if there are old individuals in that population. That's either being expelled or possibly being eaten.
In the entire prairie, only the wild dog population is a very humane population that not only conducts democratic voting when hunting. They are also meticulous in taking care of the elderly and the weak. Even some sick individuals can still get food.
Wild dogs may do this to make their group more united. Because only by uniting as a group can a stronger fighting power be unleashed.
When wild dogs do this, they naturally have their survival wisdom. Therefore, as long as wild dogs come out to hunt, they will not act alone, or in groups of three or two. As long as they move, there may be more than ten.
Not so with hyenas. Compared to wild dog groups, hyenas are not very united. Hyenas often get into fights over private conflicts. Even if they are of the same kind, they often fight with each other and even kill each other.
Hyenas are less likely to care for the elderly, weak and sick. As long as you are in a hyena group, if you are injured, you may be expelled from the hyena group by the hyena queen, or even killed and eaten by the hyena queen.
The cruelty of hyenas may also be a kind of survival wisdom. It is that they will not let any individual affect the overall combat effectiveness.
Besides, the Jike lions did not realize that danger was approaching them tonight.
In the middle of the night, Lisa and Elsa went hunting.
The male lion Jike did not go hunting. He originally stayed at home to protect the nine cubs. After all, after what happened last time, Lisa and Elsa didn't let the lion go anywhere else, they just let it stay at home to protect the cubs.
That night, Lisa and Aisha went hunting, while the male lion Jike was taking care of his cubs at home.
But in the middle of the night, it heard the roar of a male lion from the south of its territory. It knew that another stray male lion wanted to invade their pride.
Faced with this situation, Jike did not hesitate to face the provocative lion.
Jike also felt that by doing so, the cubs might be attacked by other predators. But facing the invading lion, it had no other choice but to go over and fight.
Of course, Jike also felt that the territory next to him was the territory of a group of wild dogs. This group of wild dogs has always been relatively honest and did not dare to take any chances with their pride.
But not long after Jike left, Kurt led his twenty wild dog regiments to Jike's territory.
But when Kurt arrived on Jike's territory, he didn't dare to go any further.
It knows how powerful the male lion is, and he wants to see if the male lion is watching over his children at home.
Because Kurt also knew that under normal circumstances, male lions would go out to patrol their territories at night. There are always lionesses in the house who look after their children.
Of course, this is for large prides with more female lions. For small lion cubs like Jike, the cubs are basically left to take care of themselves.
Because Lisa and Elsa have to hunt no matter what. If they don't hunt, they will eat and drink whatever they want.
Kurt first sent a male wild dog to inquire about the den of the Jik lion pride. This male wild dog soon found out that in the entire Jik lion pride, only nine cubs were left in the bushes under a big tree, and both the lioness and the male lion were not at home.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For the Kut wild dog group, it feels like this is an opportunity given by God to successfully attack the Jik lion group.
So, Kurt led his wild dog army and rushed towards a bush under the big tree.
Because Kurt already knew that the nine little lions were next to the big tree in the territory of the Jike lion group. They could catch a few lion cubs as long as they rushed into the bushes.
Besides, Chu Ye was sleeping in the bushes with eight other little lions at this time. It's just that Chu Ye is not asleep now, but the other eight little lions are soundly asleep.
Regarding the danger that had arrived, only Chu Ye felt that something was wrong, while the other eight little lions were completely ignorant.
