Chapter 132: Meerkats fight poisonous snakes
"Where are those two badgers! Why don't they come to hunt this cobra?"
Chu Ye wanted to see the two dense badgers, but he didn't see their shadows anymore. They might have gone to look for food in the distance.
"It would be great if those two secret badgers were here, then I could watch the secret badgers fight the venomous snakes again."
Chu Ye looked back and didn't see the shadow of the two dense badgers anymore. He felt a little regretful.
"Forget it, I'd better leave here quickly! It seems that there are so many venomous snakes in this place, I want to go somewhere else."
Chu Ye felt that there were too many venomous snakes in this place, and he felt that it was more dangerous in this place.
But just when Chu Ye was about to leave, he suddenly heard a chirping sound not far away, as if there were many small animals running over.
Chu Ye looked up and saw some small animals like weasels running from a distance.
But when they saw Chu Ye, a male lion, they immediately stopped.
Then run around in place.
Obviously, they wanted to come to this place, but since Chu Ye stayed here, they did not dare to come.
Chu Ye took a closer look and saw that it was a group of meerkats.
Of course, you can also call them meerkats or meerkats.
In short, this is a magical and cute little animal on the African savannah.
CNN ranked the world's cutest animals, with the meerkat ranking 16th.
Meerkat body length can reach 24-30 cm, tail length is 17-25 cm, and weight is 620-970 grams.
It is a small diurnal animal with a skull that projects large eye sockets, no sagittal crest, and a thin zygomatic arch. The forehead is rounded, and the cheeks are tapered and pointy to the brown nose.
It has small, black, crescent-shaped ears that can be closed when digging holes to prevent sand from entering the ears. The torso is slender and straight, and the limbs are well-proportioned.
There are four toes on each foot with powerful curved claws, 2 cm long, which are used to dig holes for hunting and adjust their underground burrows. The tail is long and slender with a black tip. When standing upright, the meerkat will use its tail to support it to maintain balance.
There are unique black dark spots around the eyes, and the shape and structure function like sunglasses, allowing them to see clearly under the bright sun, even looking directly at the sun.
This helps meerkats a lot, as aerial predators usually fly ahead of the sun to avoid detection.
The color of the meerkat's fur is usually light yellowish brown mixed with grey, bronze or slightly silvery brown. There are short, parallel stripes across the back. These stripes extend from the base of the tail to the shoulders. The stripes on each animal All are different.
There are no patterns on the lower part of the body, but there are only sparse hair covering the body on the abdomen, and the black skin underneath is exposed. When they stand on their hind feet, meerkats use this black area on the abdomen to absorb the heat of the sun.
This is often the first thing they do in the morning to warm themselves up after a cold desert night.
Meerkat is also a very typical social animal on the African savannah. Each meerkat population usually consists of 2 to 50 meerkats.
The meerkat group constructs a maternal society, in which the internal rulers are the male leader and the female leader, with the male leader selected by the female leader.
Below this, other meerkats are of lower status. The cubs have a slightly higher status, but the cubs must leave the family after reaching the age of 3. The male cubs will become the leaders of other groups or form new groups. .
Females may also return to the group after leaving. Individuals in the same group will frequently groom each other to strengthen social bonds.
The alpha mate will often leave scent marks on subordinates in the group to express their authority, and such behavior is often accompanied by subordinates licking and grooming the leader mate.
These actions also usually occur when group members reunite after being away for a while. Most meerkats in the same group are all siblings or children of the leader spouse.
Meerkats will also look after all the young in the group, and the sterile females will nurse the young in the absence of the leader female. They will also protect their young from any threats, often even to their lives.
When a warning of danger is given, these sitters take the cubs underground for shelter and prepare to guard them.
If danger follows, such as some predator that burrows. If unable to hide underground, the nanny will gather the cubs and block them with her own body.
Meerkat is a social animal. There are usually dozens of meerkats living together, with one strong male as the leader.
Meerkats not only forage for food together, but also play games together, doing things like wrestling races.
It can be seen that the meerkat is really a very cute and magical little animal.
Another amazing thing about this little animal is that it has no courtship behavior.
Their courtship behavior is not about males fighting each other to win the favor of females.
Instead, the male directly beats the female until she is knocked down and subdued.
I feel so sad for the female members of the meerkat family.
In the animal kingdom, females generally have a high status.
No matter what kind of animal it is, if you want to win the favor of a female, you need a duel between males.
Only the winner gets the heart.
It's just that meerkats are a bit special. Male meerkats don't have to fight over female meerkats.
All they have to do is use martial arts competitions to attract mates and directly let the female feel that this male meerkat is strong enough.
Of course, if you want to become the leader of a group of meerkats, you still need to fight.
When males compete for the throne, they also need to use combat to decide.
Only the strongest male meerkat can become the leader of dozens of meerkats.
When Chu Ye saw so many cute little animals coming towards him, he felt that he should hide temporarily.
Apparently, he was blocking the way of the meerkat family.
"Okay, I'll hide in the big tree first. I want to see what the meerkat family is up to here."
While Chu Ye was thinking, he ran to a big acacia tree not far away, and it climbed up the big tree in a few clicks.
When the meerkat family saw Chu Ye leaving, they ran towards this side again.
Standing on the big tree, Chu Ye could clearly see the situation below.
There are more than a dozen meerkats in this group.
But not all of them ran to Chu Ye.
Apparently, they foraged separately.
There were only three meerkats who came to Chu Ye.
When these three cute little meerkats arrived at the place where Chu Ye had just been, they suddenly stopped.
They stretched their heads and looked around, their nostrils opening and closing.
Apparently, they smelled prey.
Meerkats are also called meerkats, and snakes are one of their favorite foods.
Even the king cobra is in the meerkat's diet.
These three little meerkats obviously discovered the traces of the King Cobra. They sniffed the scent on the ground and ran over from a distance.
When this king cobra saw Chu Ye, the male lion, it did not run away.
But when it saw three little meerkats, it was so frightened that it started to run away.
But the three little meerkats were unwilling to let go of their prey. When they discovered the king cobra, they immediately chased it.
The three little meerkats quickly caught up with the king cobra and surrounded it.
But the three little meerkats didn't dare to act rashly.
Although venomous snakes are the prey of meerkats, they must be very careful when preying on venomous snakes.
In this regard, the meerkat cannot be compared with its cousin the flat-headed badger.
The dense badger has rough skin and thick flesh, and is immune to venomous snakes.
When they fight with venomous snakes, they have no scruples, they just catch the prey and bite it.
The same cannot be said for the meerkat, which cannot bite poisonous snakes casually.
Although meerkats are immune to the venom of poisonous snakes, they will faint if bitten by a poisonous snake.
Of course, they will not die, they will just faint for a while and then wake up.
Then, nothing happened, just like a normal meerkat.
Therefore, when faced with venomous snakes, meerkats will not directly deal with the prey in front of them in a simple and crude way like badgers do.
They will slowly circle their prey, and then find the right opportunity to bite the prey's neck, so that they can kill the prey.
After the three meerkats discovered the cobra, they immediately surrounded the cobra.
Seeing that he could not get rid of the three meerkats, the cobra had no choice but to fight with the three meerkats.
The three meerkats also know that cobra venom is very powerful.
Therefore, they did not dare to attack the cobra rashly, but just circled around the cobra first.
Although meerkats are immune to cobra venom, they will faint if bitten by a cobra. While they are unconscious, they are easily captured by predators.
Therefore, when meerkats prey on cobras, they try not to be bitten by the cobras.
Facing the three meerkats, the cobra had no other choice but to go all out.
I hope I can get rid of these three meerkats.
But these three meerkats will never give up. They started to deal with this cobra. These three meerkats went out to look for food this morning, but they haven't eaten any prey yet. Now this cobra is a big meal for these three meerkats.
If it were a meerkat, this cobra might have a chance to escape. But facing the three meerkats, it had no chance of escaping.
The three meerkats took turns fighting, and the fight made the cobra dizzy.
Among them, a meerkat saw the right moment and bit the cobra's neck.
This time the cobra was stunned.
After the cobra was bitten on the neck by one of the meerkats, it could no longer escape.
The other two meerkats looked at this cobra and had already subdued it.
They came up together and bit the cobra's body.
Soon, the cobra's body was torn apart by the bites of the three little meerkats.
But when the cobra's head was bitten off by the meerkat, the snake's head behaved like a rattlesnake again.
The snake head, which had fallen off the cobra's body, suddenly jumped up and bit a meerkat in the neck.
This meerkat was the one that directly bit the cobra's neck.
What the leader of the cobra is doing now is as if he wants to avenge himself.
This meerkat probably didn't expect that this snakehead would do this.
It jumped up all of a sudden, trying to shake off the snake's head biting its neck.
Helpless, the snake's head bit tightly, and it was unable to get rid of this snake head.
Soon, the cobra's venom was injected into the meerkat's body.
The meerkat jumped a few times and soon lay motionless on the ground.
The other two meerkats saw this situation and seemed not surprised at all, looking like they were familiar with it.
When this meerkat lay still on the ground, the other two meerkats just came over and sniffed it twice before walking away again.
Chu Ye looked at all this and felt very surprised.
He also thought that this meerkat had been bitten to death by the head of this cobra.
Ordinarily, at this time, Chu Ye could go down and pick up some food.
This little meerkat can also be used as breakfast for Chu Ye.
But Chu Ye felt that this meerkat was bitten to death by this poisonous snake.
It’s hard to say whether the meat on this meerkat is also poisonous!
So, Chu Ye thought: "Forget it, there are many prey that I can eat, and this little meerkat is the most important one."
Just when Chu Ye was thinking this, the little meerkat on the ground suddenly opened its eyes again. It looked around and then stood up again.
And the snake head biting its neck has fallen to the grass on the side.
When Chu Ye witnessed all this, he felt amazing.
This meerkat was poisoned by the cobra's venom, but nothing happened. He just fell into a coma for a while and then woke up again.
After the meerkats woke up, they quickly left the place as if nothing had happened.
Chu Ye looked at all this and was once again shocked by the magical animals on the African savannah.
'Holy shit, this little meerkat actually has such magical abilities! It seems that every animal on the African savanna has its own unique survival skills. '
After Chu Ye saw the meerkat's abilities, he knew that the animals on the African savannah had their own unique survival skills.
It turns out that the animals we see on the African savanna now are strong ones that have been naturally eliminated for millions or even tens of millions of years.
Whether it is a strong male lion or a small meerkat, they all have their own survival skills. Whether it is the Big Five African beasts or a small elephant shrew, they all have their own ability to survive. They are the most unique species on the African savanna.
The animals on the African savannah are elite species eliminated by nature over millions or even tens of millions of years. Every animal here is a masterpiece of nature.
This is the charm of the African grassland. The animals here have magical abilities.
Whether it is one of the five giant beasts or a small meerkat, they all have magical abilities that allow them to survive on this prairie.
