Chapter 536: The hippopotamus teasing the lion
Since this patch of grass is only a dozen meters away from the river, the hippos taking a bath in the river may have seen three lions hiding in the grass.
But these hippos didn't take the three lions seriously at all. To these hippos, the three lions were hiding in the grass and posed no threat to them at all.
Chu Ye, Fatty and Feifei hid in the grass and observed the movements of these hippos.
These hippos are still playing in the water, opening their mouths from time to time, revealing two pairs of thick and long canine teeth, which makes people shudder.
Hippos are social animals, often with dozens of them living together. The strongest male hippopotamus among them will become their leader. Other male hippos, females and calves are all members of this group.
Hippos usually pay great attention to protecting the little hippopotamus. Whether they are in the water or on land, they will surround the little hippopotamus in the middle, so as to protect the safety of the little hippopotamus.
Adult hippos have few natural predators on land or in the water. However, whether it is a crocodile or a lion, it is almost no threat to an adult hippopotamus.
Hippos usually go ashore to look for food at night. During the day, because the temperature is too high, they stay in the water to avoid mosquito bites and sunburn.
But this way of life is only applicable to the Serengeti savannah. In this Ngorongoro National Park, the climate is not particularly dry and the temperature is not particularly high. The animals living here and their living habits are somewhat different from those of the animals on the Serengeti savannah.
The hippos here not only come out to feed at night, but also come out to feed during the day. This is different from the hippos on the Serengeti.
After Chu Ye, Fatty and Feifei lurked, they began to wait for the hippos to come out of the river, and then they could attack them.
However, these hippos seemed to know that there were lions lurking in the grass. They were just playing in the water and had no intention of going to the shore to look for food.
'Boss, are we waiting here in vain? These hippos will not come to the shore. 'After only waiting for more than ten minutes, the fat man was already a little impatient.
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the grass, flying around in front of the three lions from time to time, which made the fat man very annoyed.
'Fat man, it's only been ten minutes and you're already impatient. How can you possibly succeed in hunting?' If you want to hunt successfully, you must be patient. 'Chu Ye saw that the fat man was a little impatient, so he gave him a lesson.
After hearing this, the fat man said nothing more, but faced the bomber-like mosquitoes, the fat man was very helpless. There was no other way, so the fat man had no choice but to put his head on the ground, and then protect his head with his claws, letting the mosquitoes fly around on his head.
Of course, Chu Ye and Feifei also suffered a lot. Of course, these mosquitoes would not only bite the fat man, but also Chu Ye and Feifei.
But the two of them were relatively patient, stretching out their claws from time to time to swat the mosquitoes and flies in front of them. However, they have no complaints and are still lurking there.
The fat man lay there, the mosquitoes could no longer bite him, and he felt somewhat calmer.
This guy, apart from being greedy, is also greedy for sleep.
Lying down in the grass like this, he slowly fell into sleep, and purred from time to time.
'Hold the grass! can you sleep in such condition. Chu Ye glanced at the fat man next to him with disdain.
Feifei also stared at the fat man and laughed, "You are really the God of Sleep!" '
However, after Chu Ye and the others waited for another half an hour, when there was still no hippo coming ashore to feed, even Chu Ye and Feifei became a little impatient.
The fat man was sleeping soundly at this time. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he was still sleeping soundly there.
'Boss, do you think these hippos will come ashore? If they don't come ashore for a day, will we have to wait here for a day? Feifei looked at Chu Ye impatiently and asked.
Although Chu Ye was about to lose his patience, since it was his initiative to do this, he would definitely have to pretend to be patient.
'If I hold on for a while, I feel like these hippos will come to the shore to feed. Chu Ye said with a guilty conscience. Because Chu Ye didn't know much about this, he just said it casually, hoping that these hippos could give him some face and come to the shore earlier to look for food.
Feifei had no choice but to continue waiting.
Fortunately, this group of hippos is now starting to take action. Some of the adult male hippos among them slowly came out of the river and came to the beach on the shore.
'Okay, these hippos are coming ashore to feed. Chu Ye looked at the hippopotamus not far away very excitedly and said.
Feifei was also very happy, feeling that the time had finally come.
'We haven't waited in vain! ' Feifei said to herself.
However, what made Chu Ye and Feifei feel very helpless was that these male hippos seemed to be deliberately irritating Chu Ye and the others. They just wandered around the river beach for a while and then returned to the water.
'oops! Are they deliberately teasing us? Feifei said helplessly.
Chu Ye was also very helpless, but he comforted Feifei and said, "Don't worry, wait a while, I will kill a little hippopotamus to relieve your anger." '
Originally, the behavior of these male hippos was enough to make Chu Ye and Feifei angry, but what happened next made Chu Ye's nose even crooked with anger.
It turns out that there is a large group of crocodiles living in the water next to this group of hippos. Although they and hippopotamus live together, they are basically separate from each other. Although they are both overlords in the water, they can live in peace with each other.
Crocodiles also often live in the water, so that they can avoid being burned by the sun outside, and at the same time, they can ambush their prey in the water.
These crocodiles are lurking in the water, exposing their weird heads from time to time to take a breath of fresh air, and then lurking under the water again.
They are waiting for prey to come here, and then they can ambush them. But at this time, no animals came here to drink water. It might be that it was not yet noon, the weather was not very hot yet, and the animals were not very thirsty yet.
These crocodiles can only wait for opportunities in the water. They are very patient and can often lie motionless in the water for several hours.
Chu Ye didn't pay attention to them at first. After all, the targets they wanted to hunt were the hippos, not the crocodiles.
