Chapter 89 Chu Ye wanders on the prairie
The same goes for Chu Ye. When he saw the buffalo meat in front of him, he felt like his mouth was about to flow. After all, he has always wanted to eat beef!
The lion was already full, so he just lay down on a big rock to rest. Chu Ye and the other little lions were eating fresh beef.
In fact, for the Jike lion group, this meal is really very important. Because after eating this meal, they will start to wander north.
Although lions do not wander around the Serengeti like wildebeest and zebra. But they also have to live a wandering life for a while.
In fact, all animals on the African savanna are migratory. It’s not that only zebras and wildebeests migrate.
The reason why we say that zebras and wildebeests are migratory animals is just because they migrate far distances.
Other animals don't migrate as far. Because zebras and wildebeest circle around the entire Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Park. Their journey exceeds three thousand kilometers.
In the entire Serengeti savanna, only wildebeest and zebra are typical migratory animals. They wander around constantly throughout the year. In July and August, zebras and wildebeests go abroad from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to live in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park for two months.
The reason why we say that zebras and wildebeests are migratory animals is because their migration routes are relatively long and they are typical migratory animals.
In fact, animals living in nature, whether they are large animals or small animals, almost all live a wandering life in order to survive. Because whether they are carnivores or herbivores, they will keep looking for food suitable for themselves because of the shortage of food.
Although lions are not like zebras and wildebeests, they have to circle around Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Park throughout the year. But during the driest season, they also wander from the short grass plains in the south of the Serengeti to the mountain forests in the north.
The Jike lions have been living in the southern plains for several months, and they are now going to live in the northern mountain forests.
But for Chu Ye, he didn't know that the lions would start wandering to the north tomorrow.
Because there is no food left in this place. The previous herd of buffalo was about to wander north.
Buffaloes generally live where there is water. And all the puddles across the southern prairies are now dry.
Buffaloes cannot live where there is no water, they must live where there is water. In the north of the Serengeti, there is a river that flows all year round. The buffalo herds want to live on the banks of this big river.
The same goes for other herbivores. When the entire southern Serengeti prairie enters a severe dry season, all large animals will wander north.
Large carnivores like lions also want to wander north. Because there are no more herbivores in the entire northern Serengeti grassland.
Tomorrow is an excellent opportunity for the Jike lion group to set off. Because the whole pride had a full meal today. It's just that the weather is too hot for them to set off immediately.
And it will be cooler tomorrow morning. At that time, the Jike lion group will set off to the north together.
In the past few days, the Jike lion group has not wandered northward because they were waiting for a big meal to arrive. When their entire pride had a full meal, it was time for them to start wandering north.
Today is a very important day for the Jik lion pride. The entire pride had a feast of beef. The next few days will be a wandering life in the north.
Now Jike, Lisa and Aisha all know that they will wander north tomorrow morning.
It's just that the eight little lions in this pride have no idea that their entire pride will wander north tomorrow.
The two lionesses and eight cubs have now eaten almost the entire buffalo. They all ate with bulging bellies.
The same goes for Chu Ye, who finally had a beef dinner that made him drool. He felt that his efforts today were not in vain. Not only did he help three adult lions hunt a sub-adult buffalo, he also protected seven lion cubs using the tree holes he had dug previously.
Chu Ye was also very happy. After all, he saw that his lions were still living as usual. Although I will often go hungry, I will also encounter many problems. But Chu Ye continued to help the lion group, allowing the lion group to get out of difficulties time and time again.
After the two lionesses were full, they just rested under the big tree. The other seven lion cubs were also full, and they lay down beside the two lionesses to rest.
Chu Ye, like the other little lions, lay down next to Lisa to rest.
When Lisa saw Chu Ye lying next to her, she stuck out her tongue and licked Chu Ye's back.
For Lisa, she has realized that Chu Ye is not an ordinary lion cub, but a very amazing little lion.
Although the male lion Jike was resting on the boulder, he was resting facing the north. From time to time, it raised its head and looked at the northern prairie, with something complicated in its eyes.
The two lionesses just lay together with their cubs, enjoying the wonderful time of being reunited with their cubs for the time being.
Although Chu Ye also noticed that the lion Jike always looked up to the north. But he didn't think that much.
Chu Ye felt that it might be because the male lions were observing the northern boundary of their territory, wanting to see if any other wandering male lions came over to invade their pride's territory.
It is now past ten o'clock in the morning, and the temperature on the prairie is getting higher and higher. All the carnivores are now lying under the shade of the trees to rest.
Chu Ye also lay down with Lisa to rest at first. But after he rested for a while, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
After all, for little lions like Chu Ye, they sleep at night and are active during the day.
Especially for Chu Ye, a little lion with a human soul, he still likes to sleep at night and does not like to sleep during the day.
The two lionesses and the male lion seemed to be asleep. They were lying on the ground with their eyes closed, looking lazy.
Although the other seven little lions were just like Chu Ye, they were not sleepy. But they all lay obediently next to the two lionesses, as if they were unwilling to leave their mothers again.
The experience just now can be said to be the most dangerous experience for these seven little lions in their lives.
Although these little lions of the Jik lion pride have been attacked by many predators before. But it was the first time for these little lions to come into close contact with such huge animals as the buffalo herd.
The huge body of the buffalo herd and the way they dashed through the grass must have left a deep impression on the minds of these little lions.
Now these little lions are no longer willing to leave their mothers, and are willing to stay with the two lionesses.
But for Chu Ye, the experience just now was nothing. Before, he had fought against two invading stray lions. For Chu Ye, the battle with the buffalo herd just now did not feel very scary to him.
This experience does not feel very special to Chu Ye, and he will not always remember this experience.
Chu Ye was alone with two lionesses. It didn't feel interesting, and he didn't want to be with other little lions.
Although Chu Ye is now a lion, he has a human soul after all, and he can live with these lions. But sometimes, he still likes to go out and wander around alone. He still seems to like to live alone.
'Anyway, I'm not sleepy, so I might as well go outside and wander around. It's just so boring to sleep on your stomach here. '
Chu Ye didn't want to just sleep next to the two lionesses like the other lion cubs. He still wanted to go outside and wander around.
So Chu Ye sneaked away from the two lionesses alone. The two lionesses were sleeping and didn't even notice that Chu Ye had left them.
The lion Jike actually saw Chu Ye running into the bushes nearby again. But it didn't do anything. For male lions, they never seem to care much about their children. No matter what the children are doing, it seems to turn a blind eye.
After Chu Ye left the lions, he wandered around again. For him, everything on the prairie is still very new.
Although Chu Ye has been here for several months. But he is just a little lion, and he cannot go very far, nor can he understand the situation of the entire prairie.
'I'm going to go farther today to see what other magical animals there are on the prairie. 'Chu Ye has made such a decision now.
So, Chu Ye began to walk towards the southern part of the distant prairie. Anyway, for Chu Ye, he felt that no matter what other predators he encountered, he didn't have to be afraid. Because of Chu Ye's strength, he can already deal with ordinary predators.
Of course, there are no large animals in the southern Serengeti grasslands now. Because all the large animals have wandered to the northern mountain forests to live.
Chu Ye didn't encounter any large herbivores or carnivores along the way. Even small herbivores like the jumping rabbit have disappeared.
Chu Ye had eaten a lot of beef just now, and now he had walked a long distance. He slowly felt thirsty.
'I'm thirsty for some water. The weather is so hot. How can I do it without drinking some water? 'Chu Ye suddenly felt thirsty and wanted to find some water to drink.
'But where should I go to find water! It is the dry season now, and there is not a drop of water in the entire southern Serengeti grassland. '
Chu Ye felt very thirsty and wanted to find some water to drink, but he didn't know where to find water.
At this time, Chu Ye felt that the environment in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if he had been here before.
Chu Ye stood there and thought for a while, then realized that this place was still within the territory of their pride. It's just that this place is close to the southern border of the Jike lion territory.
'There should be a big puddle here. In the past, the two lionesses would sometimes take me and other cubs to drink water from this big puddle. '
Chu Ye observed the terrain of the scene and felt that it was familiar. He knew that this was the place where the two lionesses took their little lions to drink water.
'I'm going to look out front to see if there's a big puddle here. If there is still water in it, I can drink some water. '
Chu Ye thought of this and continued to move forward. When he walked about a hundred meters, he saw a big pit in front of him.
But it's not a big puddle, it's a big dirt pit. There is no water in this pit, just some dry and cracked land.
It's just that this puddle is also very big. Chu Ye just looked at it from a distance and felt that there was no water. If you go nearby, there might be some water.
So, Chu Ye continued to move forward, and he soon came to the side of this big puddle. He could already see the entire puddle clearly.
This big puddle has dried up, and there is really no water in it. There seems to be some water just in the middle.
'I'm going to go to the middle and see if there's some water, I can still drink some water. ' Chu Ye thought as he walked towards the middle of the big puddle.
Soon, Chu Ye walked to the middle of this large puddle. When it arrived at this place, it saw that there was still some water. But this water is only a shallow layer.
The sunlight in the sky is still shining mercilessly on this large puddle. This small amount of water in the middle of this big puddle may soon be evaporated by the hot sunlight.
'I have to drink some water quickly, otherwise this big puddle will dry up. Chu Ye looked at the small puddle in front of him and quickly walked over.
He walked to the small puddle and began to drink the water in the puddle.
Although the water is already a little turbid. But for Chu Ye, he felt very thirsty now, and he couldn't care less. It's good to have this turbid water. Do you still want to drink clean and cool water during this dry season?
Therefore, Chu Ye didn't care whether the water was a little turbid, he quickly lay down by the small puddle and started drinking. Although the water was not very clean, to Chu Ye, it already felt like very delicious water.
