Chapter 698: The Living Habits of Lions

In this way, they slept until midnight, and if nothing else happened, they could sleep until dawn. But when they were sleeping until midnight, they suddenly heard a strange cry.

However, just when they were sleeping until midnight, a strange sound reached the ears of their three lions.

This sound sounded like the scream of some kind of animal. It seems like some predator is hunting. They hunted successfully, and the prey kept making some pitiful screams.

'Boss, what is this voice? It sounds so cautious. Feifei woke up after hearing the sound. He saw Chu Ye also woke up, so he asked by the way.

Chu Ye said, 'I don't know! It sounded like the roar of a lion. 'The ears in the dream are also different from those of ordinary lions. Its ears have very good hearing.

'Is there a pride of lions here, are they hunting? Feifei said this again after hearing what Chu Ye said.

'may be! Don't worry about them, let's sleep peacefully! Although Chu Ye heard the screams, he didn't care. After all, there are all kinds of animals living on this prairie, and many animals like to be active at night.

The reason why these animals like to be active at night is mainly because the African savanna has a tropical monsoon climate and has relatively high temperatures all year round. Because the weather is very hot during the day, many animals are reluctant to come out and move around. They wait until night before coming out to move around.

Just like lions, they also like to be active at night. During the day, lions like to hide under the shade of trees and sleep.

This makes many people who travel to the African savanna feel that lions are lazy, unwilling to move, and just sleep all day long.

In fact, this is because these people do not understand the living habits of lions. They go out to hunt at night and sleep during the day. There are two main reasons why they choose to hunt at night.

First, the temperature is very high on the African savanna during the day. It would be very dangerous to go out hunting at this time. Because lions also consume a lot of energy during hunting. If you consume a lot of energy and sweat a lot while hunting, you will easily suffer from heatstroke. If they suffer from heatstroke, it may threaten the life safety of the lions.

Second, another advantage of hunting at night is that the success rate of hunting is very high. This is because the eyes of cats have gradually developed the ability to adapt to dark environments after millions of years of evolution. The pupils in their eyes are relatively large and can collect a large amount of light, allowing them to see animals clearly in the dark.

Third, most of the prey of lions are herbivores. These animals generally have poor eyesight. Because herbivores are active during the day and rest at night. Their eyes are only suitable for working during the day. At night, they cannot see the objects around them clearly.

It is precisely because of the above three reasons that lions like to hunt at night, and their hunting success rate is much higher at night than during the day.

Therefore, when we travel to the African savannah, we will see lions often hiding under the shade of big trees and sleeping, unwilling to hunt at all.
