Chapter 138 Two Scavengers
But while Chu Ye was eating, he was still thinking about the dramatic scene just now. He just didn't understand how those buffaloes could escape without competing with him.
After all the buffaloes ran away, Chu Ye began to eat the prey he had caught. This is a half-sized buffalo, although not as heavy as an adult buffalo. But it weighs more than 200 kilograms and is also a strong buffalo.
Chu Ye started to eat. He had been hungry for several days. Before, I ate a big python. Although that big python also weighs seventy or eighty pounds.
But for Chu Ye, he still likes to eat beef. As for snake meat, he would only eat it when he was helpless. If he was not particularly hungry, how could he be willing to eat snake meat.
This place was relatively secluded, and Chu Ye did not encounter other animals while eating.
But no matter what, Chu Ye still had to wolf down his meal. As a carnivore, living behind the scenes, you generally have two basic qualities.
First, any carnivore must be able to starve if it wants to survive on the savannah. If a carnivore cannot survive on the prairie and cannot starve, and will starve to death if it does not eat for three or two days, then this animal will soon be eliminated from the prairie.
Second, any carnivore needs a big stomach to survive on the prairie. In other words, all carnivores, including herbivores, are big eaters. Just like a lion, it can eat dozens of kilograms of meat in one meal. Relative to their weight, this is really a big eater.
Third, any carnivore must learn to devour food to survive on the prairie. When carnivores eat, they compete to eat. It is impossible to let you chew slowly and savor the taste of food there.
For Chu Ye, although he was a lion reborn from a human, he had already adapted to life on the prairie. Moreover, it also possesses the three basic skills that all carnivores on the prairie should possess.
This half-large buffalo quickly made Chu Ye eat dozens of kilograms of meat. Of course, even so, this buffalo still has a lot of meat left to eat.
Originally, Chu Ye could have hidden the remaining meat. But Chu Ye felt that his hunting ability was very strong. There is no need to do this. Now that I have reached this place where there are a lot of herbivores, it will be easier to hunt by myself in the future.
Today’s buffalo will be given to those carnivores who are still hungry! They must have a harder time surviving than me, so I just thought of being a good person and giving this food to the hungry guys.
Just after Chu Ye had eaten his fill, a group of big birds flew over from the sky. Chu Ye knew what kind of bird it was without even looking.
The big bird flying over is the vulture, the cleaner on the African savanna. This large bird plays a vital role in the ecological balance of the savannah.
More than a dozen vultures began to circle above Chu Ye's head. They were hungry and looking at the delicious food on the ground. But Chu Ye hasn't left yet, so they can only stare at him in the air.
Vultures are generally known to eat carrion. In fact, this is not the case. There is no animal in this world that is truly willing to eat carrion. Who doesn’t want to eat fresh meat and is willing to eat rotten meat?
Vultures are thought to be carrion eaters because they often feed on carrion. Because their size cannot defeat some large animals on the ground, they cannot directly hunt some prey on the ground.
They can only compete with some predators on the ground for some of the prey that people have hunted. But because vultures are smaller than ordinary carnivores. Therefore, it is difficult for it to defeat predators on the ground.
They can only eat leftover prey from predators. But there are also many carnivores on the ground. When they eat almost all the food, there will not be much food left. There is naturally very little food left for the vultures.
But even this small amount of food has basically turned into carrion. This is because the prairie has a tropical climate with high temperatures all year round. Any food will rot and spoil quickly after being exposed to the sun on the prairie.
Therefore, vultures must adapt to such an environment. They can only adapt to a life of eating carrion in order to survive on the prairie. If they couldn't eat carrion, they would probably starve to death.
In fact, any carnivore on the savanna may eat carrion. As long as they feel very hungry and cannot hunt prey, even lions may eat carrion.
Of course, lions generally don't remove carrion. After all, their hunting abilities are quite strong. Moreover, their ability to resist hunger is also very powerful. Therefore, lions generally do not eat carrion.
But another carnivore is different. Another carnivore, it also often eats carrion.
This is the hyena. Hyenas are animals that often eat carrion during the dry season when food is scarce. After all, their populations are relatively large and they generally raise more cubs. In order to survive, of course they have to eat carrion even when there is no food.
'oh! oh! ---'
Not long after the vultures appeared, another scavenger appeared on the savanna. This is of course the famous African second brother-hyena.
Although Chu Ye was full, he was still reluctant to part with his prey. He lay next to his prey, guarding his prey.
The vultures circled above Chu Ye's head for a while, then flew down to a place ten meters away from Chu Ye. They did not dare to approach Chu Ye.
A group of hyenas also smelled the smell of blood and immediately ran over from a distance.
This is a relatively large group of more than twenty hyenas.
The leader is a strong female hyena, the queen of this group of hyenas.
Hyenas are unique social animals headed by females. The reason why the female is the leader. This is because female hyenas are larger than male hyenas.
Within a species, seniority is definitely determined by strength. Only the strongest and most powerful animals can become the leader of this group.
This is the case with hyenas, because female hyenas are taller and stronger than male lion hyenas. Therefore, female hyenas can defeat male hyenas and become the leader of the group.
Now there are more than twenty hyenas in this group, led by a strong female hyena, coming to Chu Ye. They want to snatch Chu Ye's food.
However, when they saw a strong male lion lying in front of the food, they stayed aside to discuss whether they should fight Chu Ye!
If Chu Ye was not a male lion, but a lioness, this group of hyenas would jump up and fight Chu Ye without hesitation.
Hyenas are definitely the strongest ones on the savanna. Despite their appearance, their barks are also particularly unpleasant. But survival on the prairie is not about living on your face.
If you can survive on the savannah and rely on your face to make a living, I dare say that hyenas would have starved to death on the savannah. It is impossible to achieve the prestige of Africa's second brother today.
To survive on the prairie, you don't rely on your face to survive; you rely on your face to survive. Whoever can scratch whose face can survive on the prairie.
Relatively speaking, the animal world is relatively fair. It all depends on strength. It’s not like human society, so what’s the relationship? Family! Good looks have become a magic weapon that can lead to advancement in human society.
This is so fucking unfair! Children of wealthy families are born rich and can enjoy the benefits without having to compete or struggle. Children from poor families are born with nothing and have to struggle on their own.
Many people have no ability at all. They just marry a rich man and become rich themselves. Many people have no ability themselves, but they just marry a rich man and become rich themselves. There are also people who don’t have any technical skills, but just because they have a pretty face, they can go around and cheat. What a bastard.
Think about it, the animal world is very fair. Here, it doesn't matter what you look like, as long as you have the ability to compete. No one looks down on you because of how you look.
Just like other people's hyenas are like this, no matter how bad their parents are. But relying on his unique skills in digging out jars, he was able to thrive on the prairie.
Although the hyena also attracted some infamy because of this move. But what about the infamy? Isn’t being called a name also a name? In human society, aren't there many people who would rather be scolded in order to be famous?
Although hyenas are notorious for digging out vats, they do it as a last resort in order to survive. But some people in our human society would rather be scolded and famous, not for survival, but just for something that smells like copper.
Chu Ye had some bad views on hyenas before. But after he was reborn as a lion, he no longer looked at hyenas the same way as before.
He felt that hyenas, like lions, were part of the savannah and were fighting for their own survival.
Although hyenas are notorious for digging out tanks, they still work hard to survive on the prairie. They do not seek fame or profit, but just to survive on the prairie for a few more days. Just to live a few more days, they run around every day, hunting and robbing everywhere.
Although herbivore's 'chrysanthemum' has no floral aroma at all, on the contrary, it certainly doesn't taste very good. But they still want to bite. Because that is the magic weapon for their survival and the only survival skill that they can rely on for their survival.
'oh! oh! ---'
The hyenas were surrounding Chu Ye. They were running around, trying to snatch Chu Ye's prey, but they did not dare to step forward.
The vultures stood further away. After all, with Big Brother Africa and Second Brother Africa here, the vultures can only hide away.
This group of hyenas has not had food for many days. They also migrated from the southern prairie in search of food.
As soon as I arrived at this place, I smelled the smell of blood. They ran over immediately and saw that a lion had hunted a buffalo. They were very happy. It felt like I could grab some food right away.
But when these hyenas saw that this lion was a male lion, and a very strong male lion, they did not dare to move forward.
Hyenas generally don't take lionesses seriously. Not to mention one lioness, even two lionesses, as long as there are more than a dozen hyenas, they will dare to go up and fight with the lioness.
But when they see a male lion, it's different. The fighting ability of male lions is definitely higher than that of female lions. This is determined by the body shape of the male lion. Male lions are larger than female lions. Therefore, hyenas should think twice before facing a male lion.
It goes without saying that hyenas are definitely afraid of lions. It's just that when they attack the male lion, they have to think more carefully, and they can't go over and start a fight right away.
Lions and hyenas are basically enemies on the savannah. As long as these two animals meet together, a war may begin immediately.
When Chu Ye faced more than twenty hyenas, he felt a little guilty. After all, these twenty dozen hyenas are very powerful in combat. Although he was strong and strong, he still had to weigh whether he could defeat these two dozen hyenas.
However, Chu Ye felt that this was also an opportunity to experience himself. I couldn't miss this opportunity. As long as it can defeat these two dozen hyenas, it means that its fighting power is already very powerful.
Thinking of this, Chu Ye decided to tease this group of hyenas. Although it is full, it is not willing to give up its prey. It guards its prey next to it and does not let other animals get close.
Naturally, the vultures did not dare to step forward and could only stand in the distance waiting to finally clean up the battlefield.
The hyenas were running around together, waiting for the order from the hyena queen. Because all their actions must be decided by the queen.
The Hyena Queen looked at Chu Ye carefully. I feel that although Chu Ye looks very powerful, he is not a mature lion, just a young lion.
When she saw this situation, the hyena queen was thinking, 'Humph, isn't he just a handsome lion guy! What's so great, I, the hyena queen, will eat you today. If you know better, get out of here, otherwise, I will be rude to you. '
Although hyenas are naturally more afraid of male lions, they definitely don't mean to run away when they see a male lion. They will also look at the strength of this male lion to see if they need to compete with this male lion.
The male lion in front of me didn't seem to be particularly powerful in the eyes of the Hyena Queen. And the prey captured by this male lion is very attractive, a half-sized buffalo. The male lion only ate a small half, and there was still more than half of the meat!
