Chapter 123 The hyena queen dare not approach Chu Ye
So Chu Ye stopped chasing and decided to let the lion go.
Otherwise, Chu Ye could completely catch up and take back the meat from the lion's mouth.
After this male lion stole a piece of warthog, he ran away again. I am afraid that this male lion will not be able to understand this experience for a while. It didn't understand how it could lose to a wandering male lion who didn't look very tall and strong.
Also, although this stray male lion defeated itself, it didn't seem that it didn't intend to take over its pride, it was just to protect its prey.
How could this wandering lion know what Chu Ye was thinking! This lion king was lucky to meet a wandering lion like Chu Ye. If it were another stray male lion, he would definitely take over the pride of this lion king.
Although Chu Ye defeated this lion. But he didn't want to be a lion king, he still wanted to live his life as a wandering lion. After all, this kind of free life has just begun for him, so how could he immediately enter a pride of lions again?
After Chu Ye saw this male lion running away, he continued to eat his own food. Now that no one is bothering him, he can eat his prey in peace.
Of course, on the prairie, you can't really enjoy your prey with peace of mind. Because every prey has many pairs of eyes staring at it.
Although Chu Ye is a powerful lion. But his prey will also have many pairs of eyes staring at it. However, Chu Ye's performance just now had scared away some predators who wanted to compete for prey.
Of course, the cleaners on the prairie, the vultures, would still stand patiently not far away, waiting to clean up some leftover leftovers after Chu Ye finished his meal.
Originally, there was a group of hyenas that smelled the prey and wanted to come over and fight for it. But when the queen of this group of hyenas saw Chu Ye, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Because this group of hyenas is still the same group of hyenas that Chu Ye taught him a lesson before. The queen of this group of hyenas is still the strong female hyena-Nal.
Na'er had previously been taught a lesson by Chu Ye for snatching the Tang's gazelle captured by Chu Ye.
At that time, Na'er felt that Chu Ye was not like a strong wandering lion, so she didn't take Chu Ye seriously. The result was that Chu Ye taught them all a lesson.
Especially Na'er, it has tasted Chu Ye's special chemical weapon - the big stinky fart.
Na'er had already remembered Chu Ye, and the smell of Chu Ye's body was still fresh in her mind these days.
Animals almost always use smell to perceive the world. Moreover, I use smell to record my life.
Animals also recognize each other by smell, not appearance. For animals, appearance is not very important. They are distinguished mainly by smell.
Not only do our own people have to use smell to distinguish them, but the enemy also has to use smell to distinguish them.
In this regard, animals and humans are completely different. Humans may not have this ability to use smell to identify similar species. Animals almost always use smell to communicate and differentiate.
After Na'er dealt with Chu Ye last time, it had already memorized the scent of Chu Ye. Especially when Chu Ye farts, the smell may really be remembered for the rest of her life by Queen Naer.
After all, that smell was definitely an extremely foul smell that Queen Nall had never smelled in her life.
Now Na'er actually smelled the warthog's scent and wanted to snatch a piece of warthog to eat. But when it saw Chu Ye from a distance, it recognized this stray male lion at a glance. It was the very powerful stray male lion who had taught their group of hyenas a lesson a few days ago.
'oh! oh! oh! ---'
Now Na'er, with her people, could only look at Chu Ye from a distance, and then let out some unwilling roars from her mouth.
When Chu Ye heard the hyena's cry, he raised his head and glanced into the distance. He also recognized Queen Nar at a glance among a group of hyenas standing in the distance.
'Hmph, it's this group of shameless hyenas again, trying to steal my prey again. It’s just that they no longer dare to approach me. They must have frightened me. '
Chu Ye also recognized the group of hyenas not far away. He saw that these hyenas could only stand dozens of meters away, watching Chu Ye eat food here. They were obviously very afraid of Chu Ye and did not dare to approach him.
But this group of hyenas were obviously very hungry. Although they did not dare to compete with Chu Ye for food, they were still unwilling to leave and wanted to get some leftovers from Chu Ye to satisfy their hunger.
This warthog is not very big, just a female warthog. Chu Ye quickly ate up almost all the meat on the warthog, leaving only some skeleton.
There is a group of hyenas in the distance waiting to get some leftovers from Chu Ye. Not far away, there was a group of vultures waiting to clean the battlefield for Chu Ye.
'Hi! You guys, why don't you hunt for yourself? You always like to eat other people's leftovers! Chu Ye looked at the group of hyenas and vultures not far away. He looked down on these guys who always liked to get something for nothing.
'Forget it, let's leave some for them! Seeing that people have been waiting here for a long time, I can't leave any food for them. '
After all, Chu Ye has a human soul, and he still has some sympathy. Seeing that the hyenas and vultures did not dare to approach him and were just waiting patiently, he decided to leave and give the remaining leftovers to the hyenas and vultures.
So, after Chu Ye had eaten, he left this place and walked towards his camp. He decided to go back and take a rest. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so he still had to rest and maintain his physical strength.
When Chu Ye left, the hyenas and vultures swarmed up together and immediately surrounded the warthog skeletons that Chu Ye had eaten.
Although the vultures were afraid of Chu Ye, they did not dare to come and snatch them while Chu Ye was eating. However, when Chu Ye left, they had nothing to worry about.
Although the hyena is also the second brother of Haoli in Africa, he is also very powerful. But compared with Africa's eldest brother, the lion, this second brother in Africa is really in vain. Because many animals are not particularly afraid of hyenas, but many animals are afraid of lions.
Such is the case with vultures, although such large birds do not dare to approach lions. But they dare to get close to the hyenas and compete with the hyenas for food.
But no matter what, vultures don't dare to compete with hyenas. After all, the body shape is there. If they fight, the vulture is no match for the hyena.
Now the food scraps left by Chu Ye will immediately become delicacies for the hyenas and vultures.
Nal is the hyena queen, and she has the right to enjoy the prey first, even if it is the leftovers eaten by these lions. As the hyena queen, Nal also has priority.
Na'er now directly grabbed a warthog's thigh bone, although there was no meat on the warthog's thigh bone. But this bone is already very tempting to Naer.
During the dry season, not to mention fresh flesh and blood, even fresh bones are considered delicacies to hungry predators.
After Nale grabbed a thigh bone, she quickly ran to the side and started chewing the warthog's thigh bone.
The bite force of hyenas is quite amazing. Apart from lions, hyenas have the strongest bite force on the African savanna.
In fact, the bite force of hyenas and the chewing power of molars definitely exceed that of lions. Lions generally only eat the meat of their prey, and rarely eat the bones of their prey. But hyenas are different. Like ordinary dogs, hyenas like to chew bones.
The reason for this difference is that lions do not have powerful molars. Lions only have more developed cleft teeth and canine teeth. They are just good at tearing the skin and flesh of animals, and then biting off the skin and flesh of the animal, swallowing the whole piece whole.
Since lions do not have powerful molars, they are not good at chewing food, they are only good at tearing it apart.
For food like bones, generally speaking, the bones need to be chewed with molars and then eaten into the stomach.
For this kind of eating method, lions are obviously not suitable. This is why lions only eat meat but not bones. The hyenas can eat the meat and bones together.
This is because hyenas not only have powerful canine teeth, but also have well-developed molars, which allow them to chew the bones of their prey and then eat them into their stomachs.
Both lions and hyenas are the top predators on the African savannah, especially hyenas. Although they are less than half the size of lions, with their clumsy fighting skills and powerful bite force, they stand out among the beasts of the savannah and become a terrifying existence. .
Generally speaking, as long as there are more than three hyenas, they will dare to compete with the lioness for food.
Lions have fangs, but hyenas don’t have lion-like fangs, but their bite force is better than lions. In the animal world, it often happens that a single hyena steals the food of a single lion, and it is very common for a lion to give up without pursuing it too closely. This is a hyena. .
Therefore, some people have said that since hyenas have a stronger bite than male lions, why can't they defeat male lions?
First we need to understand what bite force is? Bite force refers to the bite force of a carnivore's crack teeth, which are teeth that crush bones. These teeth are useless in a fight.
Hyenas eat the bones of their prey, but cats rarely eat bones, so their bite is not as strong as that of hyenas. But the lethal weapons of carnivores are canine teeth. The canine teeth of hyenas are far inferior to those of lions, and the size and strength are very different. Therefore, it is normal to be unable to defeat a lion. Fighting is not more than chewing bones.
Secondly, let’s take a look at the size difference between lions and hyenas. Hyenas weigh 70 kilograms, which is considered a large individual. Female lions weigh an average of 150 kilograms, not to mention male lions, which are generally more than 200 kilograms.
The difference in body size is too big. Generally, three hyenas dare to tease a lone lioness, and they can even snatch the lioness' food. However, if the male lion is around, the hyenas will not dare to tease the lion easily. The male lion will get angry. He can easily kill the second African brother in seconds.
It is precisely because of the huge size difference between the two that even though hyenas are social animals with many team members, lions are also social animals. In terms of team battles and singles, lions are worthy.
Therefore, both are the top predators on the African grasslands. It is precisely because of the existence of many threats that hyenas never go out alone. In the documentaries we watch, the scenes of lions being killed by hyenas are usually in groups. When it comes to a single fight between a hyena and a lone lion, the lion will definitely kill the hyena instantly. What do you think?
Chu Ye watched as the leftovers he ate became delicacies in the eyes of these predators. They roared and fought for each other, as if they were fighting for a intact prey.
'Hi! These animals are really pitiful, just let them fight for their lives like this for some bones. It seems that their life in the dry season is really not easy. '
Chu Ye knew that the prairie had already entered the most severe period of the dry season. Many animals may not survive the harshest period of the dry season, and will starve to death or be killed by other predators.
Chu Ye had always felt that he didn't have to worry too much about food. It feels like I can still hunt some prey easily. But when he saw these predators vying for his leftovers, he was somewhat worried.
'Forget it, don't worry about them anymore, I'm going to rest in my cave. '
Chu Ye looked at the hyenas and vultures who were still fighting for food for a while, then he left the place and started walking towards his camp.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he saw the hyena queen Nal eating a warthog bone.
Na'er got a thigh bone by herself, chewing the warthog's thigh bone in the grass nearby.
When Chu Ye saw Naer, he recognized her as the queen of this group of hyenas at a glance. It was also the same hyena queen it had dealt with before.
However, Chu Ye also knew that the hyena queen had caused him a lot of trouble before, forcing him to drag his prey to a big tree.
'Humph, I saw you today, then I will teach you a lesson. '
Chu Ye saw that the hyena hadn't noticed him yet and was eating the warthog's bones without any scruples, so he slowly approached the hyena queen.
The hyena queen might have been so absorbed in eating that she didn't really feel that a male lion was slowly approaching her.
Chu Ye slowly approached the Hyena Queen, and then suddenly rushed to Naer's side.
Na'er was eating warthog bones. She never imagined that a male lion would suddenly appear at this moment.
Chu Ye's sudden appearance was like thunder from the ground to the hyena queen Na'er, which really frightened Na'er.
'oh! ——'
As soon as Naer saw it, a male lion suddenly rushed in front of it. It quickly dropped the warthog bone and ran towards the bushes nearby.
Chu Ye did not chase after her. After all, Chu Ye did not want to kill the Hyena Queen. He had eaten an adult warthog himself, he was very full now and not hungry at all, how could he kill the hyena queen for no reason.
But the sudden appearance of Chu Ye nearly scared the spirit of the hyena queen Naer away. After all, if a hyena encounters a male lion alone, it will definitely be very scared.
Even the hyena queen is of course very scared when she faces a male lion alone.
Na'er didn't know that it was Chu Ye who ran to her at first, and she thought it was another lion. However, when it saw clearly that the person running to it was Chu Ye, it really felt a little scared.
'Oh my God! I'm scared to death. Isn't this lion gone? Why are you back again? 'Na'er looked at Chu Ye not far away, and it had recognized that the army in front of it was Chu Ye.
At that time, after Naer saw Chu Ye eating and leaving, she thought that Chu Ye was going to rest somewhere else and would not come back to protect his food.
But now Chu Ye suddenly appeared again, which really scared Naer.
Na'er hid in the bushes nearby, her body seemed to be screening for health. It was afraid that Chu Ye would continue to attack it. If that were the case, it might die today at the mouth of Chu Ye, a stray lion.
Fortunately, Chu Ye didn't want to argue with Na'er, and he didn't want to kill this hyena queen again. In doing so, he was just teasing the hyena queen.
When Chu Ye saw that the hyena queen had scared him into the bushes nearby and did not dare to move, he left the place again. He didn't eat the warthog's thigh bone either. After all, Chu Ye was already full and he would not come back for any other food.
After seeing Chu Ye leave, Na'er slowly emerged from the bushes. It looked at Chu Ye who had walked away, and its beating heart finally calmed down.
'Ouch! I was so scared that this damn lion finally left. I want to eat my bones quickly. '
After seeing Chu Ye leave, Naer hurriedly came back to eat the warthog bones that she had not eaten far. Although there is no meat on this piece of bone, it can completely satisfy the hyena queen's hunger problem.
Chu Ye left this patch of grass and walked toward his camp along the boundary between the two lion kings.
At this time, the lion kings on the east and west sides were leading their wives and children to rest in their own territories.
For Chu Ye, a wandering lion, the lion kings on both sides were a little scared. After all, there is a powerful wandering male lion living between the two lion kings. How can it not make them both very scared?
Whether it is the lion king in the east or the lion king in the west, they have already competed with Chu Ye. Chu Ye's strength has made them feel that their throne is under great threat.
But no matter what, Chu Ye did not compete with them for the throne. He still lived alone, right in the middle of the two lions.
