Chapter 192 Nika decides to hunt giraffes
But Chu Ye would never look at them seriously. They lived in their own pride of lions, and it was only after spending time with Nika that they gradually became familiar with them.
Sometimes, even if Nika teaches these lionesses a lesson, Chu Ye will not interfere. Because it is a male lion, it only cares about its own territory and the affairs of other male lions. Chu Ye is unwilling to participate in the palace fight between female lions.
But it's different now. When Chu Ye brought back some female lions, he was actually very friendly to them. Even their little lions, Chu Ye was also very friendly to them.
All this is beyond Nika's understanding. After all, it doesn't know the relationship between these lionesses and Chu Ye. If it knew, it might be able to understand Chu Ye's behavior.
Chuye didn't need to explain anything to Nika. He knew that slowly Nika would know the relationship between Lisa and Aisha and him, Chuye.
In this way, Lisa, Aisha and the little lions continued to live in Chu Ye's pride.
Yake became a wandering lion again, and could only find some small animals in his own territory to satisfy his hunger.
However, relying on its relationship with Chu Ye, it sometimes comes to Chu Ye's territory to hunt.
Although Chu Ye knew that Yak would sometimes invade his territory, he pretended not to see it. After all, he was his lion father, so he would still give him some face. Its territory is already very large, and it doesn't care if there is a male lion moving in its territory.
Chu Ye was very filial to his lioness mother and aunt. After Lisa and Aisha arrived at Chu Ye's lion group, they no longer had to hunt.
Every time Nika and the others hunted prey, Chuye would share it with Lisa and Aisha. He wanted his mother and aunt to enjoy the same treatment as himself.
Of course, there are also those little lions, who can also enjoy ready-made food with their mothers, without having to worry about being hungry one day.
It's just that these little lions are one year old and can go outside to hunt. Of course, they don't have any hunting experience yet, so someone needs to train them.
Nika, Mira, and Lachi didn't understand why Chuye was so kind to Lisa and Aisha at first. But as time went by, they already knew the relationship between Chu Ye and them.
When Nika knew that Lisa and Aisha were Chuye's mother and aunt, it naturally stopped being angry. Not only was it not angry, but it also respected the two lionesses very much. After all, they were Chu Ye's relatives, and Nika had to respect them.
Chu Ye was more leisurely now. He asked Lisa and Aisha to take care of these little lions in the camp, while he continued to take his girlfriend Feifei to play in his vast territory.
It turns out that there are so many little lions in the pride, and they really need someone to take care of them. After Lisa and Elsa joined the pride, they took on the important task of taking care of the cubs.
Nika and Mira were a little angry at first, feeling that Chuye was too good to Lisa and Aisha. But when they knew that Lisa and Aisha didn't just eat and work, they naturally understood Chu Ye's arrangement.
After all, their little lions do need someone to look after them. Otherwise, I don't know when, I will be attacked by some predators again.
Chu Ye just took Feifei to play in his own territory, and he no longer had to worry about the safety of the little lions. With his mother and aunt taking care of those little lions, Chu Ye could feel free and bold to have sex with Feifei under the shade of the tree.
It's just that Feifei has never been pregnant, so Chu Ye has to continue to carry on the family line. He really wants Feifei to give birth to several lion cubs that truly belong to him.
But it is difficult for female lions to get pregnant. The birth of each lion cub is the result of countless efforts by male and female lions.
Although Chu Ye really wanted Feifei to give birth to his own child. But this kind of childbirth cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are to have a child, the more you need to relax. If you don't relax, it will be counterproductive. The more you want, the less likely your lover will be to get pregnant.
Although Chu Ye had never been a father during his lifetime, he didn't know how to be one. But he is a college student after all, and he knows something about having children.
As for Feifei's temporary inability to conceive, Chu Ye could only let it go. It all depends on God’s will! If Feifei was still unable to get pregnant, Chuye would have no choice but to let other lionesses give birth to a few cubs for him.
In any case, Chu Ye is very satisfied with his current life. He already has eighteen female lions, including, of course, his mother and aunt. There are also more than ten lion cubs. Although these lion cubs are not Chu Ye's biological cubs, Chu Ye will care about them as much as he cares about his own children.
After Nika and the others learned about Chuye's relationship with Lisa and Aisha, they agreed to let them stay and take care of the cubs.
Chu Ye was fine and went out to play with Feifei again. Although Feifei was never pregnant, Chu Ye didn't care about this. He still cared about the happy time with Feifei.
This morning, after the lionesses went hunting again, Chu Ye and Feifei played in their own territory again.
In the distance, there are several giraffes looking for edible food in the bushes. The giraffes' favorite food is the leaves of the acacia tree.
But there are many sharp thorns on the branches of the acacia tree, so many herbivores can only look away and sigh. But giraffes have a way to deal with these spikes. Their tongues can be retracted into a long strip and inserted between the spikes of the acacia tree to eat the leaves.
This is the result of evolutionary competition between giraffes and acacia trees. Acacia trees have evolved spikes to deal with giraffes. But in order to eat the leaves of the acacia tree, the giraffe not only makes its neck elongated, but also its tongue.
Chu Ye didn't pay attention to these giraffes at first. After all, these giraffes were still quite far away from him and Feifei, about a hundred meters away.
However, just when Chu Ye wanted to be intimate with Feifei, a group of lions suddenly ran past him.
Chu Ye initially thought it was a lion from another pride, but when he saw it, it turned out to be Nika and Mira.
Nika and Mira seemed to be attracted by some prey in the distance. They had no idea that Chu Ye was in the bushes near them.
When Chu Ye saw it was Nika and the others, he became a little curious.
'Hey, what kind of prey are they hunting? There seemed to be only a group of giraffes in front of me! Chu Ye looked at the group of female lions that had gone away, and he didn't understand.
These days, Nika and the others are basically hunting animals like buffalo. Because they have more than ten female lions, it is not difficult to hunt a buffalo.
But today, they seem to have a different target. They seemed to be heading towards the giraffe in front.
Chu Ye became a little worried when he thought that this group of female lions were going to hunt giraffes. After all, hunting giraffe is much more difficult than hunting buffalo.
Not only do giraffes weigh more than buffalo, but they also eclipse buffalo in height.
The giraffe's head is nearly six meters above the ground, and its weight is between one to two tons, which is enough to weigh two buffaloes.
Giraffes have good tempers and basically don't make any sounds. Some people think that giraffes cannot bark because they have no vocal cords. In fact, this is not the case. The reason why giraffes cannot bark is because their necks are very long.
Animals must not only have vocal cords to make sounds, but more importantly, they must use many organs in the chest and abdomen to work together to eject airflow to make sounds.
But the giraffe's neck is too long, and it is difficult for the giraffe to use the organs in its chest to help it produce sounds. Although they could make some noise, they were too powerful.
Only some newly born baby giraffes can make a "moo" sound like a calf when they are looking for their mother.
Although giraffes have good tempers, they are not easy to mess with. When they are attacked, they can also show strong counterattack capabilities.
The giraffe not only has a tall stature, but more importantly, it also has four iron hooves. If a giraffe kicks a lion in the head while hunting a giraffe, the lion will basically be doomed.
Therefore, female lions rarely hunt giraffes. Unless they have the help of male lions, they will provoke these large herbivores.
Originally, lions rarely hunted giraffes and African elephants, the two tallest animals on the savanna, during the rainy season.
But during the dry season, due to food shortages, lions are hungry. Even if hunting giraffes is very dangerous, they might try it.
This was the case this morning. Nika and the others originally wanted to hunt buffalo. But they saw no buffalo herd today. It turns out that a group of buffaloes living here ate up almost all the grass here, so they moved to another place.
Nika and the others had no buffalo to hunt, so they had to take the risk to hunt giraffes. Although it is a bit dangerous, if it succeeds, the meat of one giraffe can completely feed a huge pride of lions.
For Chu Ye, there are seventeen or eighteen adult lions, plus more than ten cubs. The entire pride of lions needs a lot of food every day. It would be difficult to feed a pride of lions without hunting large herbivores.
Nika and the others did not encounter buffalo this morning, so they had to take the risk of hunting giraffe. That's it, it's not bad, there are finally large prey to hunt.
If this group of giraffes were not here to eat the leaves of acacia trees, they might not be able to touch any prey this morning.
The reason why Nika dared to hunt giraffes was because they felt that they had more than ten female lions, and as long as they worked together, there would be no problem in hunting a sub-adult giraffe.
So Nika and the others decided to take the risk of hunting giraffes, although this decision was very dangerous and might cost the female lions in the pride some money.
But in order to get more food, Nika had no choice but to take risks.
But Nika didn't know that Chu Ye was also playing in this place and was secretly spying on them.
Nika just led the lionesses and ran towards the giraffe in the distance.
Giraffes are so tall that they can not only eat leaves from big trees, but also have the ability to defend themselves against predators.
Because giraffes have tall bodies, the head of an adult giraffe may be more than six meters above the ground. Such a height is enough to make giraffes "superior" to others on the savannah, and they can also stand high and see far.
The giraffe has a long and slender neck. It can rotate its neck 360 degrees, allowing it to see predators within a 360-degree range around it.
However, there are not many natural enemies of giraffes on the savannah, and only lions occasionally dare to challenge the majesty of giraffes. Other predators can only look at the tall giraffe and sigh.
Today, Nika wanted to challenge the majesty of the giraffe. Nika is not unaware that hunting giraffes is dangerous. But it knew that if the buffalo herd left, they would never come back.
Because they need a place with green grass, they will not stay in one place forever. Although they will not migrate long distances like wildebeests and zebras, they will still migrate far away along the river. This place When the green grass is eaten up, it will migrate to other places.
Nika knew that the buffalo herds might be gone forever, and that if they wanted to hunt large prey in the future, they would probably have to choose between giraffes and African elephants.
However, Nika also feels that they are no longer what they used to be. Their pride can now be said to be the most powerful lion pride in the entire Serengeti savannah, with 18 female lions and one of the most powerful male lions. There are also four sub-adult lions and more than a dozen cubs.
Nika just feels that her pride of lions is so powerful that even giraffes can now challenge it. So, it led the lionesses and ran towards the giraffe in the distance.
Chu Ye became curious as soon as he saw that the lionesses were going to hunt giraffes. After all, he had never seen lionesses hunting giraffes.
For a period of time, Chu Ye lived with the lionesses. Their daily prey was either warthogs or buffaloes, and no other animals.
Chu Ye had never seen lionesses hunting giraffes before. He suddenly became curious and wanted to see how the lionesses hunted a tall and strong giraffe.
So, Chu Ye took Feifei and quietly followed Nika and the others. Want to watch lionesses hunting giraffes up close.
Although Chu Ye also knew that there would be some danger if the lionesses wanted to hunt giraffes. However, Chu Ye felt that Nika and the others were very experienced. And, they went with sixteen female lions to hunt a giraffe.
Sixteen female lions fight together, this is a very powerful lion army. In the savannah, there are rarely sixteen female lions in a pride. It is also rare to see sixteen female lions hunting a single giraffe.
Chu Ye was very curious, whether it was in the heart of a lion or in the psychology of a human being. Anyway, Chu Ye now wants to see how Nika and the others hunt the giraffe, one of the five largest beasts in Africa.
There are seven or eight giraffes in this group, including a strong male giraffe, several female giraffes, and several baby giraffes.
They were eating leisurely leaves from the acacia trees, completely unaware of the danger that was about to come.
However, giraffes have always felt that they are so tall that predators rarely put them on their menu.
In fact, the leader of this group of giraffes, the tallest and strongest male giraffe, has already discovered Nika and the others.
You must know that the head of a giraffe is more than six meters high from the ground. They can rely on this height to detect predators when they are more than a hundred meters away.
Although the giraffe leader has discovered Nika and the others, they have not left. Because giraffes have always been a little proud. They feel that even lions would not dare to provoke them.
Therefore, when the giraffe leader discovered Nika and the others, he did not lead the other giraffes away. They were still eating leaves from the acacia trees.
It seems that the leader of the giraffes feels that Nikka and the others are not hunting them, but maybe hunting other animals.
The leader of the giraffe is so confident. He feels that it is impossible for female lions like Nika to list such 'powerful' animals as their hunting targets.
So, when Nika and the others started to run quickly towards this group of giraffes, the giraffe leader and other giraffes were still there casually eating the leaves on the acacia tree, as if these leaves were so delicious that they didn't want to eat them at all. As if reluctant to leave.
Besides, Nika was a little worried when she led the lionesses and ran toward the group of giraffes. It was also afraid that the group of giraffes would discover them early and run away immediately.
If this group of giraffes runs away, Nika and the others will have no choice but to give up hunting giraffes. Because you can't chase them anymore. Giraffes are very fast and it is impossible for lionesses to catch up with them when they are too far away.
But what makes Nika happy is that this group of giraffes are actually very bold. Even when they know that predators are coming, they are still there eating the leaves of the acacia tree, as if Nika and the others are not going there. Hunting this group of giraffes.
Nika saw that the group of giraffes did not escape, so he led the lionesses closer to the group of giraffes.
Whether lions are hunting small prey or large prey, they almost always use a tactic, which is to approach quietly, lurk, and then slowly surround the prey, and finally let a lion drive away the prey and let them Get into your own circle.
Of course, when Nikka and the others wanted to hunt this group of giraffes, they also used this method.
