Chapter 2
There are more than [-] lions, large and small, lying under a single ancient banyan tree in the Luolian prairie. This is the Patilu lion group that dominates this prairie.

A cool wind blows from the northwest, blowing down a few banyan leaves, fluttering and dancing on top of a lioness.The lioness shook its ears and shook off the fallen leaves on its head. It looked up at the rapidly sinking sun like a big kumquat, yawned, and slowly stood up.

This is a young lioness, the taupe fur looks like glazed porcelain, shining brightly; the black hair at the tip of the tail is fluffy like a cloud, about half a foot long, like a whisk in the hands of a Buddhist; the figure is well-proportioned, Limbs are fit, sharp teeth seem to be carved out of the ice and snow on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, shining with a dazzling cold light; two eyes are like two newly dug wells, watery, sparkling and crystal clear.What is different is that there are several dark gray zebra crossings on the waist of this lioness Rouman, which is the wasp-waisted lioness.

Just as the wasp-waisted lioness stood up, two fluffy lion cubs emerged from the grass behind her. These were her first cubs.The little guy was as big as a wild cat, with tan fur covered with money-shaped fetal spots, staring childish eyes, lying on the bend of his mother's front legs, smacking his mouth, and screaming.

The wasp-waisted lioness took a step back and turned sideways, freeing herself from the cub's entanglement.It knows that a pair of babies are hungry and are begging for food from it. The little one has been weaned and wants to eat fresh meat. Where can it get food for them?It is also very hungry.

It looked at a bush not far away with dissatisfied eyes.Under the bushes, there were two male lions reclined, sleeping with their eyes closed, their chests and abdomens rising and falling, making rough snoring sounds.

These are two elderly male lions. The long mane on the neck of the one lying on the left side of the bush is messy and gray. It is the leader of the Patilu lion group, the old male lion; the one lying on the right side of the bush The other one had some kind of strange disease when he was young. His nose was rotten, his image was greatly damaged, and he was ugly like a skeleton. His nickname was Skeleton Male.The body hair of these two old male lions has lost its luster, the corners of their eyes are filled with muddy yellow goo, the four canine teeth in front of their mouths are stained with yellow stains, like four rusty iron nails, and the muscles of their limbs are also slack. The skin on the buttocks was wrinkled like a sun-dried papaya.The lions were already lethargic, and the older male lions were even more sleepy. The sun was only a few feet above the horizon, and the two old male lions hadn't woken up yet.

The wasp-waisted lioness was so anxious that she couldn't help but let out a soft growl:
——Wake up, wake up, are we going to starve us again today?
Lions are used to foraging at dusk.Yesterday, it was because the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male overslept and delayed the hunting time. As a result, the Patilu lion group was busy and found nothing. Both the big lion and the cub were hungry for a whole day.If there is no hunting of gazelle, wildebeest or other food today, the adult lion may still be able to bear it, and the cub may be starved to death.

In any case, wake up Old Miscellaneous and Skeleton.

A few more lionesses followed the wasp-waisted lioness and stood up, pacing up and down restlessly, and glanced at the bushes with an angry expression from time to time. Obviously, their mood was the same as that of the wasp-waisted lioness. the same.

In the Patilu lion group, without the consent of the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male, the lioness cannot go hunting at will, otherwise she will be severely punished.

Vomit—the wasp-waisted lioness raised her voice and roared again.

The old miscellaneous hair was finally awakened, opened his sleepy eyes, gouged out the wasp-waisted lioness, and let out a low growl from his throat, probably to show his majesty.Unfortunately, as he was getting older, his trachea was clogged with a lot of mucus, and his roar was accompanied by a thick phlegm sound, which greatly reduced his majesty.

Gulu—what’s the noise; Gulu—I’m so annoying; Gulu—I’m dreaming that I’m jumping on the back of a blue wildebeest; Gulu—you startled my dream away.

The skeleton male also woke up, imitating the old miscellaneous hair, and grunting from the depths of his throat.

Old Miscellaneous Hair is the supreme lion king, and Skeleton Man is the powerful arm of Old Miscellaneous Mao.The old miscellaneous hair sneezed, and the skeleton hero also wanted to chime in.

One or two timid lionesses were frightened and lay down again.

Although the wasp-waisted lioness stopped roaring, she was still pacing up and down under the mangrove tree, licking her lips with her long tongue, straightening her neck and looking towards the Lorian prairie.People depend on food, and the problem of eating is a big problem. If you are hungry, you can no longer keep quiet!
The old miscellaneous hair just fell asleep and didn't feel hungry. Once he was woken up, he was also hungry. After thinking about it, he stopped complaining and got up, shaking the mane on his shoulders, signaling that it was time to go hunting.

The lionesses, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, quickly divided into two teams. A dozen single lionesses and young lionesses formed a group and headed towards the swamp. Three old lionesses with cubs stayed in the mangrove forest. Watching over all the cubs, the old mistletoe and the skeleton male kept a distance and lazily followed the hunting lionesses.

This is the basic formation for lion social hunting.Although the male lions are mighty and brave, they generally do not hunt by themselves. The hunting is mainly done by the female lions, and the male lions are only behind to supervise or drive away the hyenas and vultures who try to steal.

Fortunately, on the bank of the Patilu River, which is about 60 meters wide, hundreds of African hog deer have gathered and are swimming across the river from a wild ferry with relatively gentle water.Nothing is easier to arrest than a hog deer crossing a river.

The African hog deer is a member of the huge deer family. It has a face as long as a horse and a body as strong as a cow. It is a medium-sized herbivore with a gentle temperament. It is especially afraid of lions and never dares to use its horns to resist lions.As long as two hog deer can be caught, it is enough for all the lions in the Patilu pride to have a good meal.

According to the habit of lions hunting in ambush, the lionesses sneaked forward in the grass for a while, and when they were about [-] meters away from the hog deer herd, they reached an open area without any shelter.The wasp-waisted lionesses waved their tails as a signal, and all the lionesses suddenly jumped out of the grass and fanned towards the hog deer.The wasp-waisted lioness selected an elderly hog deer and a calf less than a year old.

A lion is an animal with a high IQ. It knows that facing a large number of prey groups, it should not be dazzled or half-hearted, and must keep one or two targets dead; They are excellent, but they run extremely fast and react quickly, and are not easy to catch. Therefore, it is better to choose those old hog deer that are old and frail or young and ignorant, so the chances of success are much greater.

For herbivores, dusk is a dangerous time.The wild ferry is very crowded. Everyone wants to cross the river as soon as possible. You compete for each other and run on each other.Because the old hog deer and the young hog deer could not squeeze the strong adult hog deer, they stood on the grass slope a little far from the wild ferry, separated from the group by a distance, just giving the lionesses a gap to intersperse and divide.

After the lionesses jumped out of the grass and fanned out, the three lionesses on the right quickly inserted into the gap between the two unlucky eggs and the large group of hog deer, and roared deafeningly at the group of hog deer.The porpoise deer crossing the river were frightened out of their wits. They only hated that their parents had lost two legs, and they fled in all directions.The moment the old hog deer and the young hog deer saw the lions, they turned around quickly and wanted to blend in with the group. Being mixed in the huge herd of hog deer not only strengthened their courage, but also found opportunities to escape from the lions in the chaos. claws.Unfortunately, the way to escape into the group was blocked, so I had no choice but to change the direction and run towards the grassland to the east after the hog deer who had not had time to jump into the river.

On the desolate grassland, a ferocious hunt was launched.

Under normal circumstances, a dozen lionesses chasing two hog deer that have been isolated from the group is like fishing a fish that has been covered with a net.

The old porpoise deer and the young porpoise deer fled together for a while, and then branched off in two directions.The lionesses were also divided into two groups and chased separately.

The wasp-waisted lioness was the first to sprint towards the old porpoise deer, and the other four lionesses acted as helpers. In a group of two, one on the left and one on the right jumped towards the old porpoise deer on the side about 30 meters away from the wasp-waisted lioness, intending to prevent The old hog deer slashed and escaped.

The running speed of a hog deer is comparable to that of a lion. If a lion chases a hog deer, everyone runs in a straight line. in hand.But in fact, in the open grassland, it is very difficult for a lion to capture a hog deer, because the hog deer will not foolishly run away in a straight line forever, but will make a sharp turn unexpectedly and follow behind the hog deer The chasing lion is unprepared, and will always be rushed several meters away by inertia. When it turns around and chases again, the distance between them will widen.Therefore, when there are more than two lions chasing a hog deer, one lion acts as the main attacker, staring at the hog deer's buttocks and chasing it endlessly, while the other lions feign attack from the side, forcing the hog deer not to dare to turn at will.

The wasp-waisted lioness saw that her paws were about to land on the buttocks of the old hog deer. Suddenly, the old hog deer slammed on the brakes. The pair of foot-long horns on top of the head, foaming from the corners of the mouth, snorted angrily, and put on a posture of a cornered beast.

The wasp-waisted lioness had rushed only a few inches away from the pair of antlers, and when she saw this, she immediately stopped and stopped.The old hog deer shook its horns and leaped forward two steps provocatively, while the wasp-waisted lioness took two steps back.It seems that an aging hog deer is forcing a fierce lion to retreat, and the lion seems a bit too useless. In fact, this just reflects the intelligence and wisdom of the wasp-waisted lioness.

At this time, if the wasp-waisted lioness does not back down and attacks head-on, of course the old hog deer can be thrown down, but it is also possible that the old hog deer's sharp horns will accidentally stab the eyes, cheeks or front legs or something; the old hog deer The deer is at the end of the road, so there is no need to fight with it, and risk being picked by the antlers for a little vanity; the lioness on the left, Cookie Xiang, and the lioness, White Breast, on the right, are almost catching up. You can pounce on the old hog deer from the side. It is only a matter of time before the old hog deer becomes the lion's dinner.

The old hog deer faced the wasp-waisted lioness with its sharp horns, and peeped nervously at both sides with a pair of terrified eyes. Seeing a few clouds of mud and dust rolling towards the left and right sides, it made another half-step forward in a bluffing manner, and then turned around abruptly. escape.It was too late, but it was fast at that time, the wasp-waisted lioness jumped up like lightning, and just when the old hog deer turned halfway around, she pounced on the old hog deer's back.Like a heavy hill suddenly pressed down, the old hog deer's limbs softened and fell to the ground with a thud. The wasp-waisted lioness took the opportunity to bite the back of the old hog deer's cervical spine, twisted her strong jaws, and clicked There was a loud bang, and the old hog deer suffered a comminuted fracture of the posterior cervical vertebrae, and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

Finally, the hard work was not in vain, and finally I won't go hungry tonight.

The wasp-waisted lioness climbed up from the old hog deer and turned to look at another group of lionesses, hoping that they would also be able to throw down the young hog deer smoothly. Only two hog deer can feed all the lions.But it just happened to see the scene it least wanted to see.

Several lionesses chased the calf, who desperately smashed through a clump of thorns and slipped through vines full of poisonous thorns.The lionesses were afraid that the thorny thorns would cut their faces, so they stopped in front of the thorns and chased them in circles.In a panic, the little hog deer fled towards where the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male were.When the little hog deer fled to 30 meters away from the two male lions, the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male came up to meet them.There were two male lions intercepting it in front, and several lionesses chasing it behind.

Just when the feat was about to be completed, the lionesses who were chasing probably felt that the two male lions intercepted in front were enough to deal with the calf deer, so they slowed down. Moving closer to the center, the "fence" was invisibly withdrawn; the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male rushed towards the little hog deer. I don't know because they have been in a pampered leadership position for a long time, and they only urge the lionesses to hunt, but their ability to hunt by themselves is greatly improved. The reduction is due to the fact that the legs are weaker due to age, and the jumping speed is so slow that "people" are shy. The little hog deer made a sharp turn in front of them and escaped calmly.At this time, the two old male lions made another mistake, thinking that the lionesses behind would be obliged to catch up. You want to give me the opportunity, and I want to give you the opportunity. I will also be modest, and you will also be modest. , but in the end, he gave the little hog deer a chance to escape.When the lionesses at the back came to their senses, they roared and wanted to continue chasing, but it was too late, and the young hog deer had fled into the bushes, leaving only a puff of dust like smoke behind.

The wasp-waisted lioness was as distressed as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out, as uncomfortable as a bipedal man losing a big wallet.A big dinner party turned into a half-starved fast food.Thirty lions, big and small, eat an old hog deer. There are too many monks and too little porridge.

The little hog deer had already escaped, the sun was engulfed by the horizon, and the sky was gradually getting dark. It was useless to complain or regret.The bee-waisted lioness and the lioness, Cookie Xiang, held their head and tail, and dragged the old hog deer back to the ancient banyan tree.

The cubs staying in the base camp could not wait to come out after smelling the sweet smell of blood, and staggered towards the old hog deer.At this moment, the wasp-waisted lioness heard a majestic roar of vomit - vomit - from behind, and without looking back, it knew that it was the old bastard who was playing awe-inspiring, the meaning was very clear, it was to call the lionesses Get out of the way with the cubs.

According to the rules of the lion group, the head lion has the privilege of eating first.

The wasp-waisted lioness retreated helplessly from the old hog deer with a pair of offspring.All the lionesses and cubs moved out of the way as well.

The old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male lay on the old hog deer, snoring and sucking the internal organs, and gnawing the leg meat.

The lionesses and cubs watching around were dripping with saliva.

Finally, Old Miscellaneous Hair and Skeleton Xiong ate their bellies round, stretched comfortably, and left the food.The lionesses swarmed up, desperately snatching the meat.The old hog deer's internal organs and four thighs were almost eaten up by the old miscellaneous hair and the skeleton male. About one-third of them had already been eaten, and the remaining two-thirds had to be filled with more than thirty bellies, large and small. Obviously impossible.The lionesses scrambled like crazy, bumps and bumps were unavoidable in the chaos, and two lionesses scratched each other's faces and started beating each other.The lioness with her cubs stings on her prey like a fly, regardless of being scratched or knocked down. Everyone wants to tear off more pieces of meat from the old hog deer so that they can feed the cubs.Eating has become a veritable war.

The old miscellaneous hair showed a look of disdain on his face, shook his head and sighed aside, probably cursing in his heart: females are such a virtue, they are greedy and greedy!

In two to three minutes, the old hog deer was unloaded to pieces.The wasp-waisted lioness was lucky and snatched a front leg. Although most of the leg meat had been eaten by the skeleton male, a large piece of skin was still there, and some cartilage and tendons remained on the calf.It dragged its front legs to a secluded grass, tore off the meat and tendons to feed the two babies, and swallowed the extremely hard-to-chew skin and hair together, and the mother and child barely ate half full. .

The moon rose, and Old Miscellaneous and Skeleton fell asleep soundly with hiccups.The wasp-waisted lioness looked at their bulging bellies, and felt resentment in her heart. She and several other lionesses worked so hard to capture the old hog deer, but they only got a hard-to-swallow skin. The old male lion not only did nothing, but also let go of a young hog deer because of his slow movement, which caused irreparable losses to the group, but he had a full meal of hog venison.This world is too unfair!
