Chapter 359 Hyena Alliance
'Boss, thank you for saving me. If you hadn't come here in time, I would have been dead. As soon as Maomao saw that Chu Ye was back, he quickly expressed his gratitude to Chu Ye.
'Okay, you can't even defeat three stray lions, you are such a stupid lion. Chu Ye looked at Maomao and gave him a lesson.
'Boss, look at what you said, how can I compare with you? I am so fat and my fighting ability is not that good! ' Maomao said.
'Who told you to be greedy? Didn't I say before that you should pay attention to exercise and lose weight? How can you beat those strong wandering lions if you are so fat? Chu Ye stared at Maomao and said loudly.
After hearing what Chu Ye said, Maomao said sheepishly, "Boss, am I just a little greedy?" However, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. '
'Okay, your mission is not completed yet. Let's quickly mark the boundary here, so that other stray lions will not dare to come over if they smell our scent. '
After saying that, Chu Ye took Maomao and started to pee at the boundary of his territory.
Lions mark their territory by spraying their own urine in special places on the boundaries they have drawn. For example, some huge rocks, or a big tree.
When male lions sprinkle their urine on these rocks or tree trunks, they produce some special smell.
These smells can stay in place within two or three days, and other animals can smell this smell as long as they walk to this place.
Of course, if animals are not of the same kind, they won't pay much attention to these smells.
Generally speaking, other types of animals can be present in a lion's territory, but strangers of the same kind are not allowed. But there is an exception, that is, in the territory of lions, animals such as hyenas are not allowed to move in their territories. Hyenas will also be very frightened when they smell the scent of a lion and dare not enter the lion's territory without permission.
Chu Ye and Maomao marked their own designated territories, so that they had a new territory.
However, Chu Ye and Maomao never expected that at this moment, a large group of hyenas quietly entered their territory and broke into their camp directly.
The number of hyenas in this large group is very amazing. There are more than 30 hyenas. Such a large group of hyenas is very rare.
Just after Chu Ye and Maomao left, Nika led several lionesses to hunt. We had just hunted two warthogs, which was only a taste for a huge pride of lions. If you want to eat enough, you have to continue hunting.
Although a hyena attack on a pride of lions just happened. However, Mira had successfully fought off the hyenas and killed two hyenas.
This made Nika and Mira themselves, as well as Chu Ye, feel that as long as Mira was at home, they could take good care of these little lions without having to worry about the hyenas attacking again.
However, no one could have imagined that the hyena queen, Lear, turned out to be a cunning and cunning guy. After it failed to attack the lions last time, it actually held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on Mira.
Leal is a very experienced hyena queen. She knows that just relying on the strength of their hyena group cannot compete with the lionesses of Mira. If you want to defeat Mira and the others, you can only unite with another hyena group and increase your own strength to defeat those lionesses.
So, after Lear escaped, he found another hyena group. He communicated with the hyena queen of this hyena group and united the two hyena groups together.
During the dry season, due to food shortages, the number of hyena groups will increase exponentially. This does not mean that the number of one hyena group has increased, but that two or three hyena groups have formed a temporary hunting alliance.
In the African savannah, such hunting alliances are very common. However, such hunting alliances usually appear in the dry season.
Because during the dry season, food is scarce. Carnivores can only hunt large foods if they unite. If it remains the same as before, it will not be easy to hunt large prey.
Even typically solitary animals like cheetahs and leopards will temporarily form hunting alliances during the dry season. Of course, the number of individuals in the hunting alliance of cheetahs and leopards is much smaller than that of hyenas, only seven or eight at most.
During the dry season, the maximum size of a hyena group may reach seventy or eighty, which is about ten times the number of cheetahs and leopards.
At this time, there were more than thirty hyenas in the hyena alliance led by Lear, most of them were male hyenas, but of course there were also some female hyenas. Because male hyenas have a low status among the hyena group, when they reach adulthood, they usually act as "soldiers" and fight everywhere on the savanna under the leadership of the hyena queen.
Now Leer led more than 30 hyenas and came to the camp of Chuye lions again. They came in preparation. After arriving under this huge baobab tree, they immediately attacked Mira and the others. The lioness and the lion cubs were surrounded.
Mira wanted to take a rest after Chuye, Nika and the others left. So, together with the lionesses, we lay down and slept under this huge baobab tree.
Although it is morning, it is not yet noon. However, the hot climate has made many lions no longer want to move outside.
This baobab tree is very tall, about thirty meters high, and the crown above looks like a huge umbrella canopy. The whole big tree is like a huge umbrella, providing shade to the animals living here.
Mira and the lionesses were resting on the ground, while the lion cubs were playing on the side.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden oh-oh sound coming from a distance.
When Mira heard it, she knew what kind of animal was coming.
However, Mira didn’t pay too much attention. Because it knows that this sound is the sound made by a group of hyenas, and it may be that a group of hyenas is passing by here.
Mira is a lioness and is very familiar with hyena packs. It felt that even if a pack of hyenas passed by, they would not dare to attack them.
The other lionesses may have the same idea as Mira. They also heard the hyenas' roars, but they all looked lazy and seemed not to pay attention to the hyenas at all.
But soon, a large group of hyenas appeared in front of Mira and the lionesses. When Mira and the lionesses saw the hyenas, they were immediately stunned.
Because what is coming now is not an ordinary hyena group, but a hyena alliance, a hunting alliance composed of more than thirty hyenas.
