Chapter 125 The big walking bird
And how could this male warthog let the warthog king go like this? It also wanted to kill the warthog king.
Because only by killing the warthog king can it safely become the new warthog king.
As a result, the male warthog began to chase the injured warthog king.
The warthog king had no choice but to run towards his cave again.
It felt that it would be safer as long as it ran into the cave.
The other male warthog, on the other hand, just chased after him. He must kill the warthog king to feel at ease.
But when the warthog king was about to run to the entrance of his cave, a male lion suddenly jumped out from the side and bit the warthog king's neck in one bite.
The Warthog King had no strength to resist now and could only surrender.
This lion that suddenly jumped out was no ordinary lion, it was Chu Ye.
When Chu Ye saw the warthog king going out to look for food, he stood guard next to the warthog king's cave entrance.
He knew that the warthog king would probably return to the cave soon.
Because of its current appearance, as soon as it goes out, it will be discovered by other male warthogs eager to compete for the throne.
Once other male warthogs find that the warthog king is injured, they will attack it. And it will definitely fail.
Then he will run away to his cave.
Sure enough, everything was as Chu Ye thought.
This warthog king, after going out to look for food for a while, fled back in embarrassment.
As soon as it returned to its cave entrance, Chu Ye caught it immediately.
This time, the warthog king had no strength to struggle.
It had been fighting with the male warthog for a long time and was already very tired.
If Chu Ye attacks it at this time, it won't be able to escape.
Besides, when the other male warthog saw that the warthog king had been captured by a male lion, he didn't have to worry about it.
However, it didn't want to provoke this lion, so it immediately ran into the warthog king's cave.
Because from now on, this cave belongs to it.
Chu Ye caught a warthog king, which was equivalent to getting more than a hundred kilograms of pork.
Chu Ye locked his throat with one move, but the Warthog King only struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
Facing more than one hundred kilograms of wart pork, Chu Ye felt happy.
After Chu Ye caught the wild boar queen, he quickly thought of a way to hide the large piece of meat.
After all, in this prairie full of predators, no prey can belong to just one predator.
Any predator's food may be taken away by other predators.
Chu Ye caught a wild boar king and he could eat pork for several days.
It's just that he can't eat the whole pig at once, he needs to hide the remaining pork.
Chu Ye first dragged the wild boar king into a bush. After feeling safer inside, he started eating.
After Chu Ye finished eating the internal organs of the wild boar king, he felt that he had almost eaten.
After removing the internal organs of this wild boar king, the weight has also been reduced a lot.
Chu Ye went nearby and found another aardvark cave where food could be stored.
Then he dragged the remaining body of the wild boar king to the cave and preserved it.
With these more than 100 kilograms of pork, Chu Ye lived without worries about food and clothing for another half month.
It’s just that days with food always pass quickly, and days without food are always very difficult.
Generally speaking, the dry season on the prairies lasts at least five months.
Almost half of Chu Ye's time has passed now.
For more than two months, Chu Ye did not live a life of hunger just because it was the dry season.
It has extraordinary abilities and can still eat a lot of prey even in the dry season.
Just like this pork, Chu Ye has eaten almost two adult warthogs in the past month.
After living in the two-month dry season, many lions were starved and thin.
Whether they are stray male lions or king lions, their life in the dry season is very difficult.
Although lions can capture warthogs for food at this time, warthogs are not that easy to capture.
Moreover, there are not many warthogs. They often hide in caves, making it difficult for lions to find their traces.
Only special lions like Chu Ye can easily capture warthogs.
Therefore, Chu Ye was the only one who lived a life without worries about food and clothing during these two months.
Now Chu Ye's body size has increased a bit, and his body has become stronger.
It probably weighed around 150 kilograms, almost as much as a king warthog.
Not only did Chu Ye gain weight, the scarf around his neck also changed color.
From the original golden color, it has slowly turned into dark gray.
Also, the mane on the neck has grown a lot.
Chu Ye is now much stronger and more imposing than before, and looks even more powerful.
But after Chu Ye finished eating the meat of the warthog king he had stored, he went to hunt again.
Although Chu Ye could still capture warthogs to satisfy his hunger, he felt that there was no need for him to always be in trouble with other people's warthogs.
If I kill all the kings, can I let this species go?
For Chu Ye, he is fully capable of catching the food he wants to eat.
In this respect he is far superior to other lions.
Other lions, whether they are wandering male lions or a pride led by a lion king, they have nothing to be picky about when it comes to food.
As long as it is edible food, they are absolutely willing to eat it.
But Chu Ye was different.
Although it is the dry season, Chu Ye can still eat the food he wants.
As a human who was reborn as a lion, Chu Ye couldn't change some of human's bad habits.
Humans waste a lot more food than animals.
Human beings not only need to eat enough, but also eat well. Not only do you need to eat well, but you also need to eat a variety of foods.
Especially rich people, they have to find ways to eat.
They can eat everything from the sky to the upper reaches of the earth, delicacies from the mountains and seas, shark fins, bear paws, and exotic animals.
Chu Ye was also a very gluttonous guy during his lifetime, and also liked to taste all kinds of delicious food.
Now that he has been reborn as a lion, he still has the same bad habits.
Chu Ye had eaten many kinds of animals before.
Like wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, jumping rabbit, and warthog.
Chu Ye even tasted the meat of the Warthog King.
Chu Ye is now wondering whether he should change his next meal to a different dish.
I have also tasted warthog meat. Next, I want to try the meat of other animals.
"What else can I eat?" Chu Ye was thinking about this question.
But Chu Ye didn't know what food he should eat for a while.
So Chu Ye climbed up a big tree, he wanted to see the scenery in the distance.
When Chu Ye climbed up a big tree, he saw a scene that made him feel a little funny.
Not far away, there was a large flightless bird with several fluffy birds looking for food on the grassland.
This big bird is very large, with a dark gray body, a very slender neck, and its two wings, which have degenerated into two palms.
Chu Ye recognized this big bird at a glance.
This is a large bird unique to Africa - the ostrich.
Ostrich is a magical bird whose ancestors can fly.
But later, the descendants of these birds slowly lost the ability to fly and became what they are now.
This may be related to the environment of the African savanna.
In the African savannah, there are not many trees.
Even a big bird like an ostrich doesn't feel too dangerous living on the ground.
Therefore, there is no need for them to fly into the trees.
In this way, these birds lose their ability to fly and become a kind of walking bird that can only walk but not fly.
The Chinese have known the ostrich for a long time and have mythically regarded it as a magical and incomparable bird.
In this regard, there are some historical records, which are also quite interesting.
"Guangzhi" by Guo Yigong in ancient China "is a great bird that pays tribute to the state of Anxi. It is a wild goose with camel hooves and is pale in color. It holds its head seven or eight feet high and spreads its wings more than ten feet. It eats barley and its eggs are like urns. It is called ostrich."
"Tang Shu Biography of Tocharo" "Tocharo, a large bird was presented in the first year of Yongzheng. It is seven feet tall, black, with legs like a camel. It walks with wings spread, and can eat iron for three hundred miles. It is commonly known as ostrich. ."
The ostrich is indeed a very magical bird. It is not only huge in appearance, but also very strange in appearance. It is really an alternative species among birds.
Ostrich, even though it is just a bird, its attack power is very powerful.
A male ostrich can even kill a lion when angry.
Not only female lions can be killed by angry male ostriches, but even male lions can be killed by strong male ostriches.
Although the ostrich is a bird, its attack power and size are far beyond those of ordinary birds.
Don't talk about ordinary birds. Even the most powerful raptor in Africa, the war eagle, is no match for the ostrich.
The reason why the ostrich is so powerful is of course inseparable from its size.
The average adult female ostrich weighs about 100 kilograms, and the adult male ostrich weighs more than 150 kilograms.
Think about it, in the animal world, heroes are judged based on their size. Whoever is bigger is the boss.
The female ostrich is nearly two meters tall and weighs over 100 kilograms, while the male ostrich is over 2.5 meters tall and weighs over 150 kilograms.
Consider that the average female lion only weighs a little over 100 kilograms.
Even among giant lions, not many weigh more than 150 kilograms.
Only the lion can weigh more than 150 kilograms.
Just because the ostrich also has a strong body, it naturally has a relatively powerful attack power.
Although Chu Ye had also heard that a male ostrich could defeat a lion.
However, he felt that this statement was somewhat exaggerated.
Although the ostrich is very strong, it does not have any particularly powerful weapons.
Unlike large herbivores such as wildebeest, buffalo and eland, they all have a pair of strong and sharp horns.
It is this pair of horns that gives wildebeest, buffalo and eland great attacking power.
Although the ostrich weighs about the same as a lion, it only has a long, thin neck and a small triangular beak.
The only great thing about the ostrich is its long toenails.
In particular, the horn nails of adult male ostriches are very powerful, about seven centimeters long, and very sharp.
When they attack natural enemies, they use their claws to kick their opponents forward.
Although Ostrich does not have many abilities, this move is still very powerful. After all, the ostrich has two relatively strong long legs, which allow it to generate powerful attack power when kicking.
Chu Ye stood on a big tree and looked at a female ostrich in the distance. He was wondering if he wanted to taste ostrich meat.
He felt that he could hunt this female ostrich with his own abilities.
However, when he saw this female ostrich with several baby ostriches, he couldn't bear it.
After all, Chu Ye has a human soul, and he still doesn't want to hurt these mothers with their babies.
Before, Chu Ye killed the female warthog, which made Chu Ye feel a little guilty.
Those little warthogs, if they don't have the protection of their mother, it will be difficult for them to continue living even if they don't eat them.
Because they may soon become prey of cheetahs or lions.
Not to mention that cheetahs and lions can easily capture small warthogs, even carnivores with mediocre combat capabilities such as wild dogs and jackals can also easily capture small warthogs.
After all, no matter what kind of animal it is, it is very fragile when it is young.
Not to mention small warthogs, even top predators like lions and crocodiles are vulnerable when they are young!
Chu Ye didn't want to kill the female ostrich with its baby. He just lay on the fork of a big tree and looked at the female ostrich not far away, leisurely with her baby. Looking for green grass and some insects on the prairie to fill their stomachs.
Originally, Chu Ye did not want to kill this female ostrich out of compassion.
But among animals with such compassion, Chu Ye may be the only male lion on this prairie!
For other carnivores, it is impossible to have any compassion.
They just work hard to stay alive. No matter what kind of prey they are, they will hunt as long as they can fill their stomachs.
Just when Chu Ye didn't want to ruin the beautiful scene of mother and son foraging in front of him.
Suddenly, three dog-like animals emerged from the bushes nearby.
These three animals immediately surrounded the mother ostrich and several baby ostriches.
Chu Ye took a closer look and recognized that it was a jackal, a small canine on the prairie.
Although the jackal calls wolf. But it's not actually a wolf, just a jackal.
Jackals are smaller than wild dogs and hyenas, and their combat effectiveness is certainly not as good as those of the previous two.
Jackals look more like foxes.
There are many types of jackals, the Asian jackal is called the golden-backed jackal, and the African jackal is called the black-backed jackal.
This is so called because of the different colors on their backs.
The African jackal is a small carnivore with short black hair on its back.
Jackals are generally thought to eat carrion, but this is all an illusion.
Just like we generally think of vultures as eating carrion.
In fact, any wild carnivore may eat carrion.
Because the lives of carnivores are very difficult, their food can escape, unlike herbivores, whose food generally does not escape.
