Chapter 40 The Unsung Hero
In fact, for Lisa and Elsa, it is normal to lose some lion cubs during the dry season.
For these two lionesses who have experienced the pain of losing their beloved children many times, today's experience may be nothing in their hearts.
The two lionesses never dared to expect that all their ten children would grow into adult lions. It would be great if half of them could grow into adult lions. Even if we can survive half of this dry season, it is still a good result.
There were ten lion cubs, and now there are eight left. Two lion cubs have been lost. Fortunately, however, the two weakest lion cubs were lost. Both cubs are Elsa's cubs.
The one lost before was a lioness, but this time it was a male lion. These two little lions are both in poor physical condition among the six children of Elsa.
In fact, if the little male lion had stayed in the bushes and didn't move, Kurt would not have discovered it. Because at that time, Kurt no longer wanted to look for the lion cub, he just wanted to run away quickly!
Who knows, at this moment, this little lion ran out of the bushes on his own.
Of course, if the lionesses did not come back at that time and the little lion was still hiding in the bushes, it would be possible for Kurt to find it, because Kurt originally wanted to go to the nearby bushes. Looking for lion cubs. If the lioness hadn't come back, it would have been possible for her to find the little lion.
So, for this little lion, it may be doomed! No matter what, it might become Kurt's prey.
Fortunately, the other lion cubs were not snatched away by the escaping wild dogs. It was obvious that the wild dogs were only focused on escaping for their own lives and could not care about the lion cubs running out of the bushes.
So, these little lions were lucky enough to escape this disaster.
The two lionesses looked at the remaining eight lion cubs and seemed to be in a good mood. After all, there are still eight lion cubs, and they are all four or five months old. As long as they survive the dry season for another two months, they can live a relatively safe life.
Originally, lion cubs were most in danger only during the dry season. Because during the dry season, other carnivores do not have much prey to capture. So, I had to catch the attention of the little lions.
During the rainy season, food is very abundant, and other predators will not pay attention to the lion cubs. The little lions can grow up safely.
Only this time Chu Ye became an unsung hero. Although it tried its best to prevent these wild dogs from looking for other lion cubs. But the lionesses didn't see it, and the other cubs wouldn't tell the lioness.
Think about it, if Chu Ye hadn't been stopping these wild dogs, wouldn't there be a great chance that the other little lions would be found by the wild dogs!
It's just that the lionesses didn't see everything Chu Ye did for the pride. When the two lionesses came back, the other wild dogs had already gone looking for other lion cubs, and none of the wild dogs were still fighting Chu Ye.
So, what the two lionesses saw was Chu Ye standing next to the big tree, and the other cubs didn't see it at all.
There was no way the two lionesses knew what had just happened. They also thought that Chu Ye came out of the bush after seeing the two lionesses coming back.
Therefore, this time for Chu Ye, he could only keep his contribution in mind, but the two lionesses had no idea about it.
Although Chu Ye also fought with a group of wild dogs, there were no injuries on Chu Ye's body, and the two lionesses certainly didn't care much about the injuries on those wild dogs. Of course, they might not have seen those injuries at all. Wounds on a wild dog.
In this way, these two lionesses were quite happy after seeing their eight cubs. After all, only one lion cub was lost, and it was still a relatively thin lion cub.
Even if a little lion like this escapes this disaster, he may not be able to escape the next one. After all, in a lion pride, it is difficult for any thin lion cub to survive the dry season.
Although Chu Ye has made a lot of contributions to this lion group and is also in extreme danger, no one knows all this.
What the lionesses saw was that a group of wild dogs attacked their cubs, and their cubs cleverly hid. After searching for a long time, the wild dogs caught a lion cub.
It was only after the lion cubs were reunited with the two lionesses that the male lion came back from wandering outside. The male lion seemed to have no idea what was going on at home, and he certainly didn't care when he lost a little lion.
But when the lion came back, Lisa and Elsa were very excited. When the two lionesses saw the male lion coming back, they bit him together.
This sudden move made the lion very angry, and he immediately started fighting with his two wives.
Chu Ye was also a little strange and didn't understand why the two lionesses wanted to fight the male lion. However, he understood it after thinking about it.
The two lionesses must have asked the male lion to take care of the children at home, but the male lion ran away and wandered away. If a male lion is at home, how dare wild dogs attack these little lions?
The male lion obviously didn't know that a wild dog had attacked the lion cub at home, and he had already lost a lion cub.
In fact, the male lion is not just going out for a walk. It has its own responsibilities. It must patrol its own territory and do not want other male lions to come into their territory.
Just now, Jike was just doing what he should do. However, he was also careless. After being out for a long time and not coming back, the wild dogs had a chance to attack the lion cubs.
Two lionesses and a male lion got into a fight. The little lions just watched, not understanding what was going on.
However, the male lion and the lioness are husband and wife. Even if they have some conflicts, they will not fight to the death just because of the slightest conflict. Just vent the anger in my heart.
The two lionesses fought with the male lion for a while and then returned to the cub. The lion ran to rest on a stone on the side again.
Although they were fighting, they only scratched symbolically and did not actually fight.
Chu Ye already knew why the two lionesses were angry just now, because the male lions failed to protect their cubs.
If the male lion had been at home, how could other predators attack the cubs?
