Chapter 80 Chu Ye thinks of a way
So, these lionesses went to the bushes again and began to look for the lion cubs that had not yet come out.
But what they found were no longer lively lion cubs, but just the corpses of several lion cubs.
After the buffalo herd went crazy, five or six lion cubs were killed by the buffalo.
Several lionesses took out the bodies of their cubs in the bushes. They kept adding to the dead cubs as if they were still alive.
Chu Ye looked at the little lions that had lost their lives, and he felt sympathy in his heart.
'Hey, what a cruel prairie! The little lion that was still alive and kicking just now is now dead. '
Several lionesses were howling incessantly while loading the bodies of their cubs. Apparently, they knew the cubs were dead.
This situation already made Chu Ye feel a sense of compassion. As a human, Chu Ye would certainly not be like other little lions when seeing such a scene.
But just when Chu Ye felt sad that these lionesses had lost their cubs. The next behavior of these lionesses shocked Chu Ye, but it was also understandable.
After these lionesses added the carcasses of these little lions for a while, they actually did something shocking and unbelievable.
These lionesses ate their own cubs after giving birth to them for a while.
Such behavior is simply unacceptable to Chu Ye, who has a human soul.
But Chu Ye didn't just come to this prairie. It had been living on this prairie for half a year, and it was able to accept all kinds of strange and cruel things on this prairie.
It's the dry season, so the lionesses' child-eating behavior is understandable. After all, if the lionesses don't eat the carcasses of these little lions, they will be eaten by other predators.
If that's the case, why can't the lionesses eat their own cubs? You know, these lionesses haven't eaten for several days. They were already hungry.
For these lionesses, they cannot bear to eat their own cubs. But in order to survive and take care of other cubs, they must do this.
Sometimes the cruelty of a lioness is just another kind of maternal love. If they want to take care of other cubs, they must cruelly eat some of their own cubs.
In fact, what is happening now is not the most cruel thing. Because the cubs that the lionesses eat are, after all, the cubs that the buffaloes kill. If these lionesses don't eat, they will be eaten by other predators. The lionesses do this because they do not want the food on their lips to be given to others.
There is another situation that is much crueler than what is happening now. Even during the dry season on the savanna, some lionesses will still resolutely eat the cubs they just gave birth to, even though they may not be able to survive due to food shortages after giving birth to cubs.
These poor cubs have just come out of the lioness's belly, and they have to go back into the lioness's belly again. It's just that the place you come out of is different from the place you go back to.
Chu Ye looked at the scene in front of him, which made him very surprised. But I can understand the behavior of the lionesses.
Poor parents in the world! Even the lions are the same. They always love their cubs, but sometimes they have to do things that humans cannot understand.
There is a saying that goes like this, 'Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds'. This illustrates the greatness of maternal love. Even animals will not eat their own children. But for animals living on the savanna, they may not be like this. Many carnivores may eat their own young when life is at its most difficult.
In fact, even tigers may be the same. If they are about to starve to death, they may eat their own children.
The reason why we say 'tiger poison cannot eat its seeds'. This is just a metaphor, it just shows that tigers will not eat their own cubs under normal circumstances. But in special circumstances, it's a different matter.
The same is true for lions. Lionesses generally do not eat their own children. But in some special circumstances, it is a different matter.
As is the case now, when these lion cubs were killed by a herd of buffaloes. Their lionesses ate their own cubs very cruelly.
After these lionesses ate their own cubs, they went hunting with the male lions again. No matter what, they still have to live. Although they lost five or six lion cubs after this battle with the buffalo herd, they still had ten lion cubs who escaped the disaster. This was already a very good ending.
Chu Ye saw that these lionesses and male lions were hunting together again, so he came down from the big tree again and returned to his home.
After Chu Ye returned, the other little lions lay down next to the bushes to rest. The little lions had no idea what was going on in the pride next door.
Looking at these cute little lions, Chu Ye suddenly felt an inexplicable fear and worry.
'If those buffalo herds just now did not run into the territory of the lion group next door and stayed in the territory of their own lion group, what would be the consequences! '
When Chu Ye thought about it, he felt a chill down his spine. If this group of buffaloes ran into their territory just now, would the little lions in their pride be in trouble?
'Fortunately, these buffalo herds did not run into our territory. God took care of us. Thank God, I hope that this group of buffaloes will only move in the territory of the lion group next door, and not in the territory of our lion group. '
Chu Ye looked at the cute little lions in front of him. He could only pray for these cute little lions silently in his heart.
But after Chu Ye prayed for a while, he felt that he couldn't just rely on God for help. God is also very fair in his dealings. It is impossible to only take care of the Jik lion pride; we also have to take care of other lion prides.
There's no telling which lion group these buffalo herds will attack next. It is possible for the buffalo group to want to graze on the lion group's territory. Buffaloes will not just graze on the territory of one lion pride.
'No, I should do something now. It is foresight to prepare for a rainy day, but it is foolish to make up for it before it is too late. '
Chu Ye felt that he should think of a way to deal with the buffalo herd before they attacked these little lions. If you wait until the buffalo herd attacks these little lions, it will be too late to think of a solution.
So, while the other lion cubs were just playing around, Chu Ye was thinking about how to deal with the buffalo herd's attack.
'What should I do? How should I deal with the attack of the buffalo herd?' Chu Ye kept thinking about this problem.
'It would be great if these little lions could be like me and climb up big trees when they are in danger. If this were the case, wouldn't these little lions be able to avoid the attacks of the buffalo herds? '
The first thing Chu Ye thought of was to let the little lions climb up the big tree. Only in this way is the safest.
But Chu Ye thought again, these little lions can't climb trees. He had also trained these little lions to climb trees before. But they just can't learn. Chu Ye has never been able to do anything about this matter.
'Otherwise, I will continue to train these little lions to climb trees. If they could learn to climb trees, they could escape buffalo herds. '
Chu Ye felt that the only way for these little lions to avoid the attacks of the buffalo herd was to climb up the big trees. Because in this area where these little lions often rest, there is a huge acacia tree.
This huge acacia tree is the symbol of the Jik lion pride. All the lionesses and cubs of the Jik lion pride live in this place, and the male lions often rest in this place.
This acacia tree is very huge. No matter how powerful the buffalo herd is, they cannot knock down this big tree. It would be very safe if the little lions of the Jike pride could climb up to this big tree when they encountered danger.
'Hey, this method is good, but how do I train these little lions to climb trees! I have trained these little lions to climb trees before, but they are not willing to climb at all. After several days of training, only Xiao Hei could barely climb up this big tree, while the other little lions couldn't climb up at all. '
Although Chu Ye felt that this method was good, how to train these little lions became another problem.
'No, this method is still not good. Not to mention that the training of these little lions is very strenuous and they have not made much progress at all. Even if they can learn to climb trees after many days, who can guarantee that nothing dangerous will happen within these ten days? '
Chu Ye thought about it and felt that this method was not very reliable. It is more troublesome to retrain these little lions now. Moreover, if the danger is imminent, then this method will be completely useless.
'No, this method is both time-consuming and ineffective. I still have to find another way. '
Chu Ye thought about this over and over again and felt that this method of climbing trees was of no use at all. Unable to solve the current problem encountered.
'I still have to find another way, I have to find a new way. Now I have to think of a practical and safe method. '
Chu Ye thought about it over and over for a while and felt that the method of 'tree climbing' was not very good. He had to think of another good way.
