red ribbon lion king

Chapter 17 Reviving the pride of the lions (1)
The wasp-waisted lioness is determined to create a miracle, so that the red streamer can regain the courage of life, rekindle the flame of competition, and become a powerful contender in the lion society.

Why do male lions only shine once in their lifetime?Why, once the big lion is defeated, it will sink forever like the sun setting?Why can't we find the second starting line of life and start from scratch?Why can't the tide rise and fall and make a comeback?

The red ribbon is in the prime of life, and it is still too early to get old. As long as you can survive premature aging, you may win the second glory of life, the wasp-waisted lioness thought.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing it did was to sneak back to the gourd wasteland alone while taking a nap, endured the grief, and carried the bodies of three lion cubs to a small hill.The small hill was bare, not covered by trees or grass, and the vultures, which were cruising in the sky looking for food, could easily spot the three lion cubs lying stiff on the ground.

The lion society implements natural sky burials. When a lion dies, the familiar lions will come forward, stand beside the dead lion and mourn silently for a while, and then the simple funeral will be over. Vultures with keen eyesight and hyenas with keen sense of smell devour the dead.

Vultures and hyenas are the undertakers of the African savannah.Although this funeral method looks cruel and disgusting, it is clean and hygienic, saves worry and effort, uses waste, and regenerates resources. It is beneficial to maintain the ecological balance of nature without any harm.Soon, vultures with bare heads and necks came to the hill one after another; after a while, more and more vultures rushed to the feast, and the whole hill was crowded with dense vultures, and the hill was blackened.

The wasp-waisted lioness stood and watched from afar, feeling as bitter as if she was making coptis soup.

After a few 10 minutes, those ugly vultures fluttered high with the satisfaction and comfort after a big meal.Xiao Shangang returned to its original crimson red color.

The wasp-waisted lioness knew that the three babies had turned into a pile of scattered bones.It is very sad, but also very helpless.It went back to the gourd wasteland again, scratched and scratched with its claws, and with great effort, it cleaned up the blood and smell of the three cubs.

It does this entirely for the red streamer, it wants the red streamer to forget the painful past, forget the heavy blow of fate, and erase all traces of failure from memory.

The second thing the wasp-waisted lioness did was to leave the gourd wasteland with a red ribbon for a while to avoid hurting the scene.They roam around the fringes of the territory of the Kaza lion group and the Chaam lion group, hunting wherever it is convenient, and roosting wherever it is suitable.It's like traveling on vacation, going outside to relax and leave your troubles behind.

The third thing the wasp-waisted lioness did was to restrain her inner sadness and insist on going out for food twice in the morning and evening as usual.For it, it is not easy to do this.

A lion is an animal with emotions, excessive sadness will affect appetite, not wanting to eat, too lazy to move, or pick up dead bodies, or dig rat holes, eat whatever you want, as long as you don’t starve to death.If it weren't for the red ribbon, it would not have been so active in hunting for at least a long time; it would be so sad that it would be boring to do anything, let alone go twice a day to catch fresh animals.

But now, the red streamer looks listless all day long. If it is also sluggish, and the bad emotions are cross-infected, it will not be able to survive this day?

More importantly, for lions, hunting is not only about filling their stomachs to survive, but also a barometer of life form: an aggressive life that is on the way up, the frequency of hunting is high, and it shows the style of life in the hunting ground , to show the value of life; a life that is going downhill without pursuit, the frequency of hunting is low, stepping into the hunting ground is purely for a meal, and no longer expects anything other than subsistence.The wasp-waisted lioness hopes to mobilize the emotions of the red streamers and arouse the enthusiasm of the red streamers through intense hunting activities.

Several times, they encountered hyena groups tearing the carrion carcasses of giraffes or springbok on the road. The red streamers wanted to save trouble, and they wanted to drive away the hyenas and eat carrion to satisfy their hunger, but they were stopped by wasp-rumped lionesses.A lion with great ambitions and achievements does not bother to snatch the spoiled and smelly carrion from the mouth of the hyena. Only a guy at the end of the road will salivate at the food in the mouth of the hyena.

In the process of chasing the prey, it will deliberately run a few steps slower, give up the opportunity to throw down the prey to the red streamer, and act as a helper and supporting role. After the prey falls, it will bite the leg of the prey in time to weaken the struggle of the prey And resist, let the red streamer break the prey's neck smoothly.It feels that this bloody killing will help restore the masculinity of the red streamer.

Sometimes, they hunted an eland in the morning and ate half of it, and there was still half left. If it was normal, they would pick some grass leaves to hide the leftover food and save it for the next meal, and they would not go again that evening. It has hunted; but in order to awaken the male consciousness of the red streamer during the hunt, it does not hesitate to throw the half of the leftover eland in the open air, and let the vultures, javes or eagles take advantage of it.In the evening, under the pressure of hunger, the red streamer had to go foraging with it again.

Although lions are the most ferocious animals in the African grasslands, it is not easy to catch large and medium-sized herbivores.In the eternal contest of hunting and escaping, herbivores such as antelope, zebra, rabbit and red deer have evolved a set of quite successful escape techniques, such as galloping like flying, or being extremely vigilant, or lying in the night. Walking at night often causes lions to expend a lot of physical strength but achieve nothing.

According to statistics, only one out of five hunts by a single lion is successful, and only one out of three hunts by a group of lions is successful.The wasp-waisted lioness throws away the leftover food every time, and hunts and kills those fast-moving animals every meal. It is difficult to imagine. Turned green.Even so, the wasp-waisted lioness has no complaints or regrets, as long as it can cheer up the spirit of the red streamer, she is willing to suffer as much as she suffers.

After 20 days, the mood of the red streamers was basically stable, and they returned to the gourd wasteland.

They can't let go of the territory they have worked so hard to create, and they can't wander forever.The concept of going home is not exclusive to humans. Many animals have a nostalgia complex for their homes.

Back in the gourd wasteland, the wasp-waisted lioness immediately discovered that the male lion's frustration syndrome was much more stubborn than she thought, and it could not be cured by wandering outside for a period of time.The moment it stepped into the scent boundary, it clearly saw that the red ribbon trembled all over, and staggered when its front legs tripped over a fallen twig.This is undoubtedly a gaffe and abnormality.Walking into the wasteland, the red streamer seems to be more cautious, as if afraid of trampling ants to death, walking slowly, looking around, sniffing and smelling, guilty and timid like a thief.

——Hey, the two demons, the giant yellow hyena and the braided lion, have already returned to the territory of Patilu lions, so there is no need to worry about it!

However, the red streamer can't show the kind of stretch and ease of returning to its own territory.

Fortunately, it had already disposed of the bodies of the three cubs, even the traces were wiped clean, the wasp-waisted lioness thought, otherwise, I really don't know if the red streamer would be insane?
It has been more than 20 days since they left the gourd wasteland, exposed to the sun and rain, the odor boundary line has been almost diluted, and the odor in many areas is so weak that it can hardly be smelled.

For lions with a sense of territory, whether the smell of the boundary line is strong or not is an important indicator of the prosperity of the lion group living in this territory.A big male lion full of energy and full of confidence in the future is like a diligent monarch, who often runs to the border to replenish his scent, strengthen his guard, and consolidate the border defense; The monarch, too lazy to patrol the border, let the border slowly fall into disrepair.

The wasp-waisted lioness looks forward to the red streamer's proactive efforts to repair and strengthen the boundary line of the scent.One day passed, and the red streamer did nothing; two days passed, and the red streamer still had no such intention.Going on like this is tantamount to slowly giving up the territory on which one lives.

In the middle of the night, there was a torrential rain, and the pouring rainwater gathered into a river, washed down from a high place, and flooded the calabash wasteland.At noon the next day, the flood water penetrated into the ground.After being soaked in water for a day, the already faint and thin scent boundary line disappeared, and I couldn't even smell a trace of scent.The red ribbon still has no move to rearrange the boundary line.

The wasp-waisted lioness was very disappointed and worried.The way it is now means that the territory is not fortified. If there are stray lions passing by, they will definitely run in without any scruples, triggering a dispute over sovereignty.It seems that the male lion frustration syndrome suffered by the red ribbon is already terminally ill, and it is unrealistic to expect a natural recovery.It should force the red streamer to rearrange the borderline.

Please be as aggressive as generals.

The wasp-waisted lioness ran to the boundary line and rubbed her body against tree stumps and rocks, as if she wanted to arrange the scent boundary line by hand.I remember that when they first owned this gourd wasteland, it arranged the scent boundary. At that time, the red ribbon male's self-esteem was hurt, he was restless, very annoyed and angry.Later, due to being often harassed by stray lions, the red streamer had to arrange the scent boundary line instead. At that time, the red streamer was enthusiastic and did not rest at noon, working hard, and quickly arranged the scent boundary line , that look of being proud and proud, looks like the emperor who has just been crowned.It hoped to reproduce the scene at that time, and pretended to rush to arrange the scent boundary, but in fact it was using the aggressive method to arouse the male self-esteem of the red streamer, and compete with it for the right to arrange the scent boundary.

Shacha, Shacha.The wasp-waisted lioness is leaning on a small tree near the border, with the rough bark on her buttocks, exaggeratedly moving her body back and forth, like disco twisting, rubbing rhythmically, and sticking her golden-yellow body hair to the tree skin.The red streamer stood on an abandoned anthill about 20 meters away from it. There was no shelter between them, and everything could be seen clearly.It squinted at the reaction of the red ribbon.
