Chapter 126 The battle between the ostrich and the jackal
Of course, even the grass that herbivores eat will change due to the rainy and dry seasons, and will also move from one place to another.
But relatively speaking, the grass is still growing there.
It is much easier for herbivores to want to eat.
But carnivores are different. They have to put in a lot of effort for every meal.
Catching herbivores is not an easy task.
Not to mention small predators like jackals, even top predators like lions have a hard time surviving on the savannah.
Precisely because the life of a carnivore is not easy. Therefore, they are all likely to eat carrion.
After all, when food is scarce, even if it is rotten meat, that doesn’t mean you will definitely have it if you want to eat it.
It can be said that all carnivores may eat carrion.
As long as they feel that they are very hungry and only eating carrion can sustain their lives, of course they will eat carrion.
In fact, even we humans are the same. When we are very hungry, we won’t be picky eaters if we eat everything!
The same goes for jackals, of course they may eat carrion.
However, they prefer to eat fresh flesh and blood.
Another special thing about jackals is that they are not strictly social animals.
Under normal circumstances, jackals live a monogamous life, and a jackal couple can stay together for life, which is also very rare in the animal world.
However, when jackals are hunting, they will still hunt together in groups.
Because of their relatively small size, the combat effectiveness of a single jackal is relatively weak. If you want to catch large prey, you must work as a team.
These three jackals are three female jackals, and they are also raising their cubs.
But for their own young, they must kill ostrich young.
Jackals certainly know that they cannot capture the mother ostrich.
Their target is not the adult female ostrich, but the small ostriches next to the female ostrich.
Seeing this situation, Chu Ye didn't know what to do for a moment.
He was wondering whether he should help the ostrich mother.
But then he thought, he should just let nature take its course.
Since you are a lion, you must adapt to life in the animal world. You cannot interfere with nature just because you have a human soul.
At the same time, Chu Ye also recognized that these three jackals were three female jackals. They came out to look for food, probably to feed their babies.
They are both mothers, and they are now raising their own babies. No matter what the outcome of their fight is, as humans, they should not interfere.
At this point, we humans often make the mistake of feeling that it is very cruel for carnivores to hunt herbivores.
In fact, from the perspective of nature, this is a very normal thing.
After all, carnivores eat meat. If you don't let them hunt herbivores, they will starve to death.
At the same time, if there are no carnivores hunting herbivores, then there will be more and more herbivores on the earth. It’s not about eating all the grass. If the grass is eaten, how can the herbivores survive?
Also, grass is also a kind of life.
When they are eaten by herbivores, isn't it also a cruel act?
Therefore, we cannot only look at these things in nature from a human perspective.
After all, we have feelings and compassion.
It would be a mess if we judged the animal world based on our own compassion.
What is happening in front of Chu Ye now is very helpless.
They are both mothers with children, but because one is an ostrich and the other is a jackal, they have to fight with each other for survival.
Chu Ye watched all this.
I don't feel like there's anything special about it.
After all, this kind of situation happens every day on the African savannah.
Three black-backed jackals surrounded the ostrich and its children.
When the mother ostrich saw the three jackals, she immediately got into a fighting stance.
Several of its cubs also realized the danger and immediately ran to the feet of the ostrich mother, not daring to go anywhere else.
Three jackals were running around the mother ostrich. They did not dare to compete with the mother ostrich head-on, so they could only choose a sneak attack to capture the baby ostrich.
The mother ostrich is not afraid of these three jackals. If it were not for her cubs, she would not care about them at all.
But now these three jackals are eyeing its cub, and it has to fight these three jackals.
The three female jackals naturally knew how powerful the mother ostrich was, and they did not dare to confront the mother ostrich head-on.
I can only run around the mother ostrich, just to look for opportunities to sneak attack on the baby ostrich.
Chu Ye looked at everything in front of him and felt calm in his heart.
Because he is a lion, not a human being.
He could see these scenes almost every day.
However, Chu Ye still wanted to see if this female ostrich could protect her children.
After all, this ostrich mother is carrying six little ostriches. It is difficult for her to protect the six little ostriches.
The three jackals also felt that the mother ostrich was carrying six little ostriches, and the three jackals could steal a little ostrich no matter what.
So, the three jackals started to deal with the mother ostrich on the same spot.
The mother ostrich was very angry and directly attacked the three jackals.
It's just that the three jackals are very flexible.
After all, for a small and exquisite carnivore like a jackal. Their greatest feature is flexibility.
Although the mother ostrich is tall and strong, it is not easy to defeat these three jackals.
Although it kept attacking the three jackals, the three jackals were able to dodge, causing the mother ostrich's attacks to fail every time.
Since the mother ostrich has to deal with three jackals, it is obviously a little concerned about one thing and not the other.
The three jackals are also very cunning.
They are both adult female jackals and have a lot of hunting experience.
After the three female jackals besieged the mother ostrich for a while, they saw that there was no chance of catching the baby ostrich, so they changed their strategy.
One of the female jackals immediately began to compete head-on with the mother ostrich.
The mother ostrich had to go all out to deal with this female jackal.
So, the other two female jackals were given a chance to sneak attack on the little ostrich.
One of the female jackals saw the opportunity and bit a small ostrich in one fell swoop.
Then, he quickly ran into the bushes.
When the female ostrich mother heard the cry of the little ostrich, she quickly turned back to rescue the little ostrich.
But it was already too late. The jackal took the little ostrich in its mouth and got into the bushes.
At this time, the female ostrich actually made another serious mistake.
It wanted to save the little ostrich that was taken away by the jackal.
But when it did this, it gave the other two jackals a chance, and they pounced on the little ostriches one after another.
Among them, a jackal caught another little ostrich, turned around and ran away again.
When the mother ostrich heard the scream of another little ostrich, she quickly turned around. But the jackal had already run away with the little ostrich in its mouth.
Both jackals had a harvest and ran away quickly.
There was one jackal left, which seemed to be somewhat willing to catch a little ostrich.
After all, its children are waiting for it to bring back food!
Only at this time, the mother ostrich can go all out to deal with the remaining jackal.
This time, the jackal had no chance.
Because the mother ostrich is very powerful, this jackal is no match for it.
Soon, the mother ostrich beat the jackal away.
This jackal had no choice. Without the help of his teammates, it would be impossible for him to catch the little ostrich alone.
So the jackal had no choice but to run away empty-handed.
Although it found nothing, it could only run away quickly.
The final outcome of this fight was that the mother ostrich lost her two children.
There are two jackal mothers who can bring food back to their children.
The other jackal mother had to go elsewhere to find food for her children.
Chu Ye witnessed all this, and in his heart, he had turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.
If Chu Ye could go down now, he would directly prey on this female ostrich.
After all, with his current strength, he can definitely defeat a female ostrich.
But Chu Ye couldn't bear it.
After all, if he eats this female ostrich, no one will take care of her remaining children.
These children may soon be eaten by jackals or other predators.
"Forget it, I'll just find a male ostrich to practice with! Just let this female ostrich go!"
Chu Ye didn't want to have trouble with this female ostrich. He wanted to find a male ostrich to practice his skills with. Only male ostriches had the strength to compete with Chu Ye.
If there are female ostriches, there will be male ostriches.
Chu Ye knew that there would definitely be a male ostrich in this place.
Because ostriches are also social animals, usually one male ostrich leads four or five female ostriches to live together.
Chu Ye thought that as long as he stayed here, he would definitely see the male ostrich appear here.
As long as the male ostrich appears, it will go down to capture a male ostrich.
In this way, Chu Ye will be guarding this place all day long.
At first, he only saw a few female ostriches foraging here, but the male ostriches did not appear.
But the next morning, Chu Ye saw a male ostrich on the big tree.
The appearance of male ostriches is different from that of female ostriches.
The appearance of the male ostrich is mainly black, and there will be some white feathers on the tail and wings.
Chu Ye saw at a glance that on the grass not far away, there was a strong male ostrich leading several female ostriches, and some small ostriches were foraging on the grass.
With the protection of the male ostriches, these female ostriches leisurely look for small animals such as insects and mice in the grass.
The male ostrich raised his head from time to time and looked around. Obviously, it was protecting the female ostriches and the little ostriches.
It was as if it already knew that two little ostriches were captured by jackals yesterday.
Seeing the male ostrich appear, Chu Ye came down from the big tree excitedly. He came directly to the group of ostriches.
When Chu Ye appeared in front of these ostriches, the female ostriches and the baby ostriches immediately ran away.
Chu Ye originally thought that this male ostrich would definitely run away when it saw him.
After all, he is a lion, he is the king of beasts. This male ostrich had no reason not to run away.
But what Chu Ye didn't expect was when he came to this group of ostriches.
The other ostriches all ran away, but this male ostrich did not escape.
Not only did the male ostrich not escape, on the contrary, it directly attacked Chu Ye.
Obviously, this male ostrich is not afraid of Chu Ye.
In his eyes, Chu Ye might not be very strong.
After all, Chu Ye is not the Lion King, and he is certainly not as strong as the Lion King.
Chu Ye was really shocked by the courage of this male ostrich. It didn't expect that this male ostrich would be so bold.
He also thought that when he appeared, the male ostrich should run away.
But what Chu Ye didn't expect was that this male ostrich would pounce directly on him.
Chu Ye was really frightened by this male ostrich. It quickly turned around and ran away.
After all, he had heard that a male ostrich could kill a male lion.
But Chu Ye ran for a while and then stopped again.
He felt that he was not an ordinary male lion, and he should not be so afraid of the male ostrich.
Thinking of this, Chu Ye suddenly turned around and faced the male ostrich.
When the male ostrich saw Chu Ye turning around, he immediately raised his thigh and was about to kick Chu Ye.
How could Chu Ye let it succeed? He immediately dodged it deftly.
In this way, Chu Ye and the male ostrich started fighting.
The male ostrich also underestimated Chu Ye's strength.
It felt that Chu Ye was just an ordinary lion. He could defeat Chu Ye with his weight of more than 150 kilograms.
And Chu Ye also underestimated the strength of this male ostrich.
He had always felt that the story about a male ostrich defeating a male lion was a false legend, and he never believed such a thing.
But when Chu Ye actually faced a strong and brave male ostrich now, he knew that the legend about the male ostrich being very powerful was true.
This male ostrich indeed showed a strong style in order to protect his wife, children and children.
Facing a male lion, it chose to attack proactively.
However, at first, Chu Ye was really overwhelmed by the fierce attack of the male ostrich.
After all, he had no experience fighting ostriches, and he didn't know how to deal with such a big bird.
Just when Chu Ye initially let the big bird beat him back, it accidentally let the big bird catch him.
