Chapter 313 Mutated Giraffe
Of course, these animals have also adapted to the harsh environment on the prairie, and they can survive tenaciously even in the dry season.
It should be said that the animals on the prairie have very strong survivability. No matter how severe the drought, they have a way to survive.
However, drought is definitely not the most terrifying thing on the prairie. The animals here have long adapted to the harsh life of the dry season on the prairie after millions of years of evolution.
Many animals living here have their own ways of dealing with the dry season. For example, the African lungfish can wrap itself in mud during the dry season to survive the dry season for up to half a year.
There are other African animals that are well adapted to life in the dry season here. Like warthogs, they can go without food or water for half a month without any problem. Even a lion can go many days without eating or drinking.
Animals all have special survival skills. From the perspective of survival in the wild, humans cannot be compared with animals.
After Chu Ye drove away Basi and Bella, he lived safely in his own territory again. Bas was arrested by the police, and his private hunting area was confiscated by the Arusha government.
There were no more human activities in the territory of Chu Ye and his pride. The temporary road began to grow grass within a few days and became part of the prairie again.
The animals living here can all live as they did before. Chu Ye and the lionesses of their pride began their difficult life in the dry season again.
Although life is not easy in the dry season, Chu Ye has special abilities. Their lion group occupies the place with the richest prey on this prairie. There are many kinds of herbivorous animals living in Chu Ye's territory. In addition to warthogs, ubiquitous grassland animals, there are also large African herbivores such as elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, and rhinos.
During the dry season, lions no longer have easy-to-hunt large herbivores such as wildebeest and zebra, and can only hunt some small herbivores. Warthogs and impalas, these two animals, are almost daily meals for lions.
However, these two animals will become increasingly rare as the dry season continues to extend. If lions want to survive, they can only hunt large herbivores.
However, large herbivores are not so easy to hunt. Some of them have tall bodies and some have sharp horns. It is also very difficult for lions to hunt these large herbivores.
Nika and Mira have not hunted any large herbivores these days. If you go out hunting every day, you basically come back empty-handed. Sometimes, some small warthogs and small jumping rabbits can also be hunted. But these animals simply cannot solve the food problem of a huge pride.
Since Chu Ye could hunt some small herbivores, he did not expect Nika and the others to hunt large prey for him to enjoy.
And Maomao, this guy can also eat some prey by following Chu Ye. He wasn't worried about whether the lionesses could catch the prey.
So, these days, Chu Ye and Maomao are living a leisurely life in their territory. It’s just that the life pressure of female lions is very high. Not only do they have to hunt for themselves, but they also have to feed the dozen or so little lions in the pride.
These little lions are now five or six months old. They are almost weaned and can eat some meat. At this time, the lionesses will work hard to hunt.
It’s just those small herbivores that are already hard to find. Because small herbivores like warthogs and jumping rabbits are burrowers. It is also very difficult to hunt them. They usually look for food near their caves. Once a hunter approaches them, they will escape back to their caves as quickly as possible.
As the lion king of this pride, Chu Ye should have been concerned about the hunting work of the lionesses. However, under normal circumstances, the lion king just sits back and enjoys the success and is unwilling to participate in the hunting work of the female lions.
Chu Ye felt that he was not sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor, but was instead earning his own living. He did not need to snatch the lionesses' prey. He already felt that he was doing a good job as the lion king.
Therefore, Chu Ye didn't pay much attention to the hunting work of the lionesses, and only occasionally looked at what prey they had caught.
One morning, Chu Ye lay down under a big tree to rest, and the lionesses went hunting again. They have been failing to hunt at night recently and have to continue hunting during the day.
At this time, Maomao ran over from a distance, shaking his fat body, and came to Chu Ye.
Chu Ye looked at Maomao and asked in confusion, "Why are you running here? Do you want me to help you hunt again?" You said you are not a child anymore, why can’t you hunt by yourself and you have to ask me for help? '
After hearing this, Maomao smiled and said, "The one who knows me is the boss." I just want you to help me hunt a prey. '
'Yeah! What prey did you find again, a warthog or a jumping rabbit. 'Chu Ye feels that now he and Maomao can hunt only these two small animals, because many large animals rarely move in their territories.
Maomao looked at Chu Ye and said with a strange smile, "It's not a warthog or a jumping rabbit." Boss, guess what prey I found. '
Chu Ye snorted from his nose and said, "Besides these two little animals you love most, what other animal can there be? It can't be an impala!" '
After hearing Chu Ye's words, Maomao shook his big head and said with a smile, 'No! The prey I found this time was definitely a big guy. '
'What a big guy, could it be a buffalo? 'Chu Ye felt strange. Even with Maomao alone, he didn't dare to attack the buffalo.
'Buffalo is nothing, the prey I found is much bigger than buffalo. As Maomao said, he stood up and glanced into the distance, as if he had seen the prey he was talking about.
'Damn it, what kind of prey is it, can you fucking tell me. Chu Ye was a little angry and scolded Maomao.
'It's a giraffe, do you think it's bigger than a buffalo? Maomao looked at Chu Ye excitedly and said.
When Chu Ye heard this, his eyes widened, "What are you talking about? It's a giraffe. Do you not want to live anymore and dare to treat a giraffe as prey?" '
Giraffe is one of the five largest animals in Africa, and it is a prey that even lions dare not easily hunt. If it weren't for a pride with a large number of female lions, no lion would dare to challenge the majesty of a giraffe.
You must know that the attack power of a giraffe is also quite amazing. It is said that a giraffe has such long legs that the weight of a kick may reach up to thirteen tons. Listen, what an astonishing number this is.
'Boss, I found a giraffe in the eastern part of the territory. This giraffe is very special, it is completely different from ordinary giraffes. Maomao lay down in front of Chu Ye and looked at Chu Ye and said.
'What's different? It's just an ordinary giraffe! 'Chu Ye was still a little confused.
'Boss, I just discovered a giraffe. Not only is it tall, it also has two long horns on its head. ' Maomao said.
When Chu Ye heard this, his eyes widened again, "What are you talking about? The giraffe has grown antlers." 'Chu Ye simply couldn't believe what Maomao said.
'Boss, if you don't believe it, I can take you to see it now. After Maomao finished speaking, he stood up, as if he wanted to take Chu Ye to see the strange giraffe right away.
Of course Chu Ye was a little surprised. He also stood up, then looked at Maomao and said, 'Okay, Fatty, let's go and see it together! '
'Okay, I'll show you a giraffe with horns today. Maomao said as he walked towards the east of the territory.
Chu Ye also followed Maomao and walked east. They soon came to a place on the border of the territory. There were many tall acacia trees growing in this place, as well as some dense shrubbery.
It's just that when Chu Ye arrived at this place, he didn't immediately see any giraffe with horns on its head. So, he stared at Maomao and asked, "Fat man, where is the strange giraffe you mentioned." '
Maomao was also a little dumbfounded at this time. After all, he really saw a magical giraffe in this place just now. But at this moment, I don’t know where I went.
'Boss, I'm not lying to you. That is definitely a very special giraffe. There may be only one magical giraffe in the entire prairie. Maomao was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain it to Chu Ye again.
'Okay, I believe you are. Chu Ye had no choice but to temporarily believe what Maomao said.
Just when Chu Ye was talking like this, he felt a big tree next to him shake, as if some animal was moving there.
'Boss, let's go there and have a look. I feel like there might be giraffes living in that place. 'Maomao discovered a magical mutant giraffe just now because he felt some movement nearby.
