Chapter 100 Okapi
So, for a moment, Chu Ye was really at a loss. He was thinking about how he would deal with this giant hyena.
Fortunately, Chu Ye is also very experienced in competing with some large prey. When he let the giant hyena bite him in the neck, he suddenly turned around and bit the giant hyena in the neck again.
This is a unique trick that only Chu Ye can do. No other animal has Chu Ye's ability. In the dream, it was also because I ate that little badger that I had this special ability.
This giant hyena never imagined that after it bit Chu Ye's neck, Chu Ye would bite his own neck in turn.
'Damn, this little lion is really powerful, it can bite back. This move is really special! I feel like no other little lion can do this kind of move. '
This giant hyena never expected that Chu Ye would use such a move. After being bitten in the neck by his opponent, he could bite the opponent's neck in turn.
'Hmph, you bit my neck again, so what can you do to me? I'm bigger than you, and my strength is definitely greater than yours. Even if you bite my neck, you can't do anything to me. But I can bite your throat out, I can kill you. '
Although this giant hyena was bitten on the neck by Chu Ye, it was not worried at all that it would be defeated by Chu Ye. It felt that it could still defeat Chu Ye.
So, the giant hyena started to bite Chu Ye's neck with force.
But how could this giant hyena know that Chu Ye was not an ordinary little lion? It had the ability of a badger, and its fur was not so easy for other animals to bite through.
When Chu Ye let the giant hyena bite his neck, he in turn bit the giant hyena's neck. Moreover, Chu Ye also began to bite the giant hyena's neck with force.
Since then, Chu Ye and the giant hyena began to compete over whose neck was stronger.
In such a comparison, the giant hyena would definitely lose. Because Chu Ye's fur is very strong, giant hyenas cannot bite it through.
Chu Ye's teeth are very sharp, and he can easily bite through the neck of this giant hyena.
'oh! ——'
When Chu Ye and the giant hyena bit hard at the same time, the giant hyena felt that something was not good.
Because no matter how hard he bit Chu Ye's neck, it just couldn't bite Chu Ye's neck. But Chu Ye actually bit the giant hyena's neck in one go.
This giant hyena only felt a sharp pain on its neck, and it couldn't help but screamed again.
Chu Ye only felt that his neck was bitten by the giant hyena. He did not feel that his neck was bitten by the giant hyena.
The giant hyena no longer dared to fight Chu Ye, and it began to struggle to escape. After all, it felt like it was no match for Chu Ye. Chu Ye's fur was very strong, and even though its teeth were very sharp, they were unable to pierce Chu Ye's skin.
The giant hyena saw that its teeth could not penetrate Chu Ye's skin, so it had no choice but to run away. After all, if it continues like this, it might kill Chu Ye.
As a result, the giant hyena began to struggle to escape. But Chu Ye bit its neck, making it really unable to break free for a while.
However, this giant hyena also knew that if he did not endure the risk of being bitten and ran away, Chu Ye would probably be bitten to death.
As a result, the giant hyena began to endure the great pain and tried to escape. But if he struggled like this, the skin and flesh on his neck would be torn off by Chu Ye's sharp teeth.
But even if his own skin and flesh were torn off by Chu Ye, this giant hyena still tried hard to break free from Chu Ye's control, and then ran away quickly.
Chu Ye didn't want to chase this giant hyena anymore. After all, this giant hyena has been injured, and there is no need for him to argue with this giant hyena anymore.
After Chu Ye saw the giant hyena escaping, he no longer cared about it. He just wanted to continue eating the meat of the hyena in front of him.
But the meat of this coyote is indeed not very tasty. At first, Chu Ye felt very hungry. When he was eating, he didn't feel how unpalatable the coyote meat was.
But when he ate some coyote meat, he wasn't so hungry anymore. Therefore, he felt that the coyote's meat was not very tasty.
'The meat of this coyote is really not very tasty! If only I could hunt a herbivore. The meat of this herbivore will definitely taste better than the meat of carnivores. 'Chu Ye took a few mouthfuls of coyote meat and felt like he didn't want to eat it anymore. After all, the meat of this coyote is really not very tasty.
'But this is the dry season! Food is relatively scarce. Although the meat of this coyote is not very delicious, I can't waste it. I still want to eat more. '
Although Chu Ye didn't want to eat the meat of this coyote, he had no choice. Since it was the dry season, of course he had to cherish the food.
But just as Chu Ye was eating the meat of this coyote, he saw an animal he had never seen before suddenly appear in the grass in front of him.
As soon as he saw the animal, Chuye thought, 'Hey! This animal is so strange! What kind of animal is this? It looks like a herbivore. It's really quite big. If I could hunt this herbivore, its meat would be much tastier than the meat of this coyote. '
When Chu Ye saw this strange animal, he suddenly became interested in it. He was no longer interested in the coyote in front of him.
'I'm going to go take a look, I'm going to see what kind of animal it is. Chu Ye still got rid of the coyote and began to walk towards the magical animal in the distance.
This animal looks a bit like a giraffe, but it's not the same. It is similar in size to a wildebeest, but is thinner and not as strong as a wildebeest.
This magical animal was just eating grass in a patch of grass. It obviously didn't care about Chu Ye, the little lion.
Although Chu Ye's size is already about the same size as a leopard. But it still seemed a little insignificant in the dense grass.
The spiky grass in this place is very deep. Even a male lion can be well hidden in it, let alone a small lion.
Chu Ye began to slowly approach this magical animal. This magical animal didn't notice it at all, just grazing leisurely in the grass.
'This animal is really strange, I seem to have never seen it before! What kind of animal is this? 'Chu Ye looked at the animals in front of him and felt a little puzzled. Because the appearance of this animal was something he had never seen before.
Not only had Chu Ye never seen such an animal since he was reborn as a little lion, but he had never seen such an animal even when he was in human society.
'I'm going to scan it with my eyes, I'm going to see what kind of animal it is. ' Chu Ye thought as he began to have eyes to observe this magical animal.
After Chu Ye scanned it frequently, he quickly learned what this animal was called and some information about this animal.
Chu Ye knew from the scan that this animal should be called the okapi.
Okapi: Weighing 180-317 kilograms, body length is between 1.9-2.5 meters, tail length is 30-42 cm, shoulder height is about 1.5-1.65 meters. Females are on average larger than males. It is a large mammal that was not discovered in the forests of Zaire, Africa until 1901.
At first glance, the okapi looks more like a horse. Due to the alternating black and white stripes on its back, it looks very much like a zebra.
In the past, some people thought that the okapi was the result of the mating of a giraffe and a zebra, but in fact it is not a close relative of the zebra. A giraffe looks similar to an okapi before its neck becomes longer.
It is distributed in the tropical rain forests and alpine forests of eastern Congo, Africa. It lives at an altitude of 500-1000 meters. In addition to green leaves and young leaves, it also eats grass, ferns, fruits and fungi. It maintains many original features and is relatively rare.
The okapi's fur is short, slightly greasy to the touch, fragrant, chocolate-colored, and has a red and crimson velvety sheen. The forehead, neck and body are brown, and the cheeks, throat and chest are fawn or gray. The buttocks and upper legs have horizontal black and white stripes.
Some believe these stripes serve as a "follow me" sign in dense rainforests, allowing cubs to follow their mothers, and they also serve as camouflage. Legs white or light brown. The face is black and white. The neck and legs are obviously elongated, but not to the extent of a giraffe. The male animal has two short, antler-bearing horns, while the female animal has no horns.
The okapi's tongue is blue, very long, about 30 centimeters, and very flexible. Okapi use their tongues to reel in young leaves from trees. Their long tongues can also be used to clean their eyes and ears. The large, backward-moving, trumpet-shaped ears are a weapon that lynx rely on to detect their natural predators, leopards.
Okapi only need to sleep for 5 minutes a day and they are always alert. Okapi use glands on each foot to secrete a pitch-like substance to mark where they travel, and use urine to mark their territory.
Elephants only inhabit deep mountains and dense forests, and grassland carnivores such as lions and hounds rarely get involved, so except for cheetahs, they have almost no other natural enemies.
However, cheetahs always like to target herbivores that live in groups and are not very interested in "lone rangers" like lynx, so they rarely have the opportunity to meet. In addition to green and tender leaves, the okapi eats grasses, ferns, fruits and fungi.
Okapi are diurnal animals, usually single, and only meet together when breeding. April to July every year is the estrus season. At this time, male limps wander around their territory looking for females who are also in estrus. Males use the smell of a female's urine to determine if she is in estrus.
After determining the target, the male will slowly approach the female, become familiar with each other's scent, and then gradually approach and become familiar with each other, and finally mate. The male leaves immediately after mating is completed, and the gestation period is 421 to 457 days. Usually born between August and October, the cubs weigh 14-30 kilograms at birth. The lactation period is about 10 months and the maturity period is 4-5 years. The life span of an okapi in captivity is more than 15-30 years.
The okapi's birth cycle is approximately 14-15 months apart. Expectant mothers will retreat into the dense forest before giving birth. After the newborn is born, the mother and baby will hide in the dense forest for several days.
It will not appear until a few days later, and then the mother will not be far behind the child. The young okapi always stays close to the mother, following the mother's activities at all times. Okapi only give birth to one child at a time, and the gestation and lactation periods are very long, so the reproduction rate is very low.
A newborn baby can stand up in 20 minutes, can feed itself within an hour, and can double its weight within a month. Two months later, its weight is three times that of birth. The lactation period of the cub lasts for 6 months. Interestingly, in the first two months, the cub does not defecate at all. This is a way for them to protect themselves - it prevents the smell of droppings from attracting predators.
After 6 months of lactation, Xiao Xi can leave her mother and start living independently. But it takes about three years for the cubs to reach sexual maturity and begin a new round of racial reproduction. The lifespan of an ox is generally 20 years, and the lifespan of a "longevity star" has been recorded to be 33 years.
The Okapi's mother uses infrasound communication to communicate with the okapi. This is sound, below the range of human hearing, and elephants also have this physiological phenomenon.
Chu Ye knew that through eye scanning, he already knew that this animal was called Okapi, and it was a very magical animal.
'The meat of this magical animal must be very delicious. I want to kill this Okapi and taste the meat of this magical animal. 'Chu Ye suddenly didn't want to eat the meat of that hyena anymore. He wanted to eat the meat of this okapi.
It's just that this Okapi is very tall and strong, much larger than Chu Ye. Chu Ye thought that if he were alone, he might not be able to defeat this Okapi.
'Why don't I go back and bring in reinforcements? Why not let Lisa and Elsa come to help, so that our pride can eat the meat of an okapi. '
Chu Ye felt that if he fought this okapi alone, he might not be able to defeat this okapi.
Therefore, Chu Ye temporarily let go of the Okapi and began to return to his resting place. That is under the big tree.
When he got to the bottom of the big tree, he only saw some lion cubs playing there. He did not see the two lionesses, and the male lions did not know where they were.
'Hey, where are the two lionesses? I want to hunt the okapi with them! Chu Ye became a little anxious when he saw that there were no shadows of the two lionesses under the big tree.
'I'm going to quickly find out where the two lionesses are, and I'm going to hunt the okapi with them. 'Chu Ye thought of this and hurriedly walked towards the grass in the distance.
