Chapter 546: Saw a dark shadow
Of course, this is just a problem that humans look at from a secular perspective. From the perspective of nature, all this is perfectly normal.
In fact, vultures play a great role in the prairie. They are not only cleaners on the prairie, but also beacons for many predators to find food.
Animals like lions and hyenas, who hunt in the savannah, often watch for vultures in the sky and see them circling there.
Once you see vultures circling over a certain grassland, it means there must be food there. Because vultures have special eyesight, they can see very far.
Regardless of any carnivore, as long as it successfully hunts on the prairie, the first animal to be discovered is the vulture.
Therefore, vultures can often detect bloodshed on the prairie immediately. And quickly flew to the scene, ready to get a piece of the pie.
Vultures are a very important member of many animals on the savanna. There is a certain tacit understanding between them and other carnivores.
The vulture is large and is the largest raptor on the plateau. When it spreads its wings, its wingspan is about 2 meters long and 0.6 meters wide (the larger ones can reach more than 3 meters).
Adult vultures have dark brown down feathers from the forehead to the back pillow, the back of the head is longer and dense, and the feather color is also dull. There are sparse dark brown hairy short feathers on the side of the head, cheeks, and ears, and the eye first cover has dark brown fibrous feathers. , the upper part of the back neck is naked and featherless, lead blue, and the base of the neck has wrinkled feathers formed by long pale brown to dark brown feather clusters, and some wrinkled feathers are decorated with white.
The exposed head can be easily inserted into the abdominal cavity of the corpse; the base of the vulture's neck has a ring of relatively long feathers, which, like a human napkin, can prevent the feathers from getting dirty when eating corpses.
The upper body is dark brown from the back to the tail coverts, the tail is slightly wedge-shaped, dark brown, the feather shafts are black, the primary flight feathers are dark brown with metallic luster, the wing coverts and other flight feathers are dark brown.
The lower body is dark brown, and the chest is densely covered with dark brown hairy down feathers. There is a bunch of fluffy spear-like long feathers on each side. The abdomen is decorated with pale vertical stripes. The perianal and undertail coverts are grayish brown or brownish white. , Covert leg feathers dark brown to black brown.
The mouth is powerful. Due to the need to eat corpses, its hooked mouth has become very powerful. It can easily peck and tear through the tough cowhide and drag out the heavy internal organs.
Juvenile birds are basically similar to adult birds, but their body color is darker and their heads are more exposed. The iris is brown, the tip of the mouth is dark brown, the wax membrane is aluminum blue, the tarsometatarsus and toes are gray, and the claws are black.
Chu Ye was very familiar with vultures, both as a lion and as a human being. When he saw vultures circling in the sky, he knew there was another eucalyptus discovery ahead.
'Come on, let's go over there and see if any animals have been hunted again. As soon as Chu Ye saw the vultures circling in the sky, he wanted to go over and take a closer look.
Fatty and Feifei agreed after hearing this.
The three of them immediately ran towards a patch of grass in the distance.
Soon, they ran to the patch of grass. At this time, they saw a buffalo lying on the ground. Its body was still shaking, as if some animal was biting its buttocks.
It's just a matter of angle. It's not clear what kind of animal is biting the buffalo. Because the grass is very dense, you can't see clearly until you are in front of you.
'Let's see what kind of animal attacked this buffalo. 'Chu Ye didn't think much at the time, he just wanted to rush over and take a look.
Fatty and Feifei also wanted to see what kind of animal attacked the buffalo.
However, just when they were about to walk over, they saw a huge animal jumping up from behind the buffalo. This animal looks a bit strange, with two big ears, and most of its body is black, but there are some large yellow spots.
The animal was huge, almost as big as a buffalo. It jumped up and ran towards a nearby bush.
It was very fast. As it ran, its entire body turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the dense bushes in an instant.
When Chu Ye and the others walked through the grass and came to the buffalo, the animal that attacked the buffalo had disappeared.
The scene in front of him made Chu Ye unable to recognize it.
A huge buffalo fell to the ground. There was a pool of blood behind its butt. Those were its internal organs, but now they were flowing out from the back of its butt.
However, the buffalo had not yet breathed its last. It was shaking its body and looking at the three lions walking in front of it with painful eyes.
It seemed that he wanted these three lions and quickly ended its life. After all, if it looked like this, it would definitely be worse than death.
Such a scene shocked Chu Ye. He didn't even understand why the animal just hunted a buffalo in such a way.
This scene was even more bloody than the scene where a big monster hippopotamus was hunted just now. The big monster hippopotamus was already dead when Chu Ye and the others saw it, and its internal organs were eaten by the hunters.
However, the big buffalo in front of him was not dead yet, and the hunter had not had time to eat the buffalo's internal organs. It was only the arrival of Chu Ye and the others that interrupted its eating process.
Feifei was completely unable to adapt to such a scene. She only glanced at it and ran away. Although she is a lion now, she has human thoughts after all. In such matters, human thoughts will prevail.
Although Fatty is usually very carefree, as if he doesn't care about anything. However, the bloody scene in front of him still shocked him.
Seeing the expression of the buffalo struggling in pain on the ground, the fat man looked at Chu Ye and said, "Boss, it's so pitiful. You'd better give it a good time and kill it as soon as possible!" '
The buffalo seemed to understand what the fat man said. It lay on the ground, barely raised its head, and then looked at Chu Ye with pleading eyes, as if it wanted Chu Ye to end it quickly.
Although Chu Ye had good intentions, facing this situation, he could only kill him.
So, Chu Ye lowered his head and bit the buffalo's neck.
The buffalo hardly struggled anymore, and after a few minutes it lay quietly on the ground motionless.
'Boss, what kind of animal attacked this buffalo? I don't seem to see clearly what kind of animal that thing was just now. 'The fat man saw that the buffalo was not moving, so he began to think about the situation he had just seen.
