red ribbon lion king

Chapter 4 The lion cub was slaughtered (1)
The giant yellow mane and the braided lion jumped onto an anthill about one meter above the ground. With their heads held high, they roared softly at the female lions scattered around the banyan trees.

The wasp-waisted lioness understood that this was the young male's enthronement.

In the lion group society, once the dynasty changes, the new ruler must hold a very unique ceremony to confirm his supremacy in the lion group.

The enthronement ceremony of a male lion is divided into two parts. The first part can be called "grooming worship", and the second part can be called "smell identification".

The so-called "grooming worship" means that all the female lions go up one by one and lick the mane on the male lion's neck.In all furry animals, grooming is a very common and important means of communication, with multiple symbols.Grooming the fur of the same sex with similar status usually means that there is no hostility to each other, peace and friendship; Caring; the low-status grooming the high-status symbolizes obedience and worship.Primates, with dexterous front paws, generally use their "hands" to groom each other, while cats and canines groom with their tongues.Western zoologists compare animal fur grooming to human chatting, chatting, discussing, and reporting, and its importance is equal to that of human language communication.

The so-called "smell identification" is that the newly enthroned male lion sprinkles a few drops of urine on each female lion.This is by no means a frivolous teasing, nor is it a childish prank, but a very serious and serious acceptance etiquette.Smell is like the nationality of people in the animal world. Animals know each other by smell. Animals in the same group emit the same smell. Many animals attract the opposite sex by smell, find a mate by smell, and use it to smear on tree stumps or rocks. Urine, feces, body hair — ways to diffuse one's own body odor to define territories and spheres of influence.It is no exaggeration to say that mammals think by their noses.The smell of the newly enthroned male lion is different from the original one of the Patilu lion group, which means separation, which of course is absolutely not allowed. The solution is to unify the smell.Unified to whose smell?Naturally, it is unified to the ruler's smell, and urine is the best smell carrier.

The lionesses jumped up the anthill in a single file and walked on their knees.Every lioness who walked up to the giant mane lowered her height as much as possible to show humility and humble herself. Then, she stretched out her wet tongue and licked the golden mane of the giant mane devoutly. He licked again until he got impatient with the giant mane, turned his head away, and then turned around with a lot of interest, with his tail facing the giant mane.The yellow hyena puts its two front paws on the crotch of the lioness, and sprinkles a few drops of urine on the base of the tail of the lioness. This not only completes the identification of smell, but also symbolizes possession, killing two birds with one stone.

The lioness, who had been recognized by the giant hyena, walked up to the braided lion and repeated the procedure just now.

Don't think that the giant yellow mane and the braided lion are relaxed and happy in this cumbersome enthronement ceremony, but in fact, it is quite tiring.It's like a leader goes to a mass meeting and shakes hands one by one, whether he likes them or not, dry, bloated, pale, ugly, contagious, not rinsed with germs after urinating Hands have to be held, and sometimes thousands of hands have to be held in one hold.Of course, he experienced the sweetness of power and satisfied a kind of human dignity when people eagerly stretched out their hands to him, couldn't wait to hold one of his hands with both hands, smiled extremely flatteringly, and were so excited that tears filled their eyes. Human vanity, but I am still so tired that I can’t lift my hands. It is said that my hands are swollen from being held. Being a leader is still very hard.In contrast, giant yellow hyenas and braided lions have worked harder than leaders among humans. Leaders just shake hands. Superb leadership art and a strong sense of responsibility are absolutely impossible.

It was the turn of the wasp-legged lioness. After she finished licking the mane of the giant mane, suddenly, the mane twisted her neck for the first time, and stretched out her tongue to moisten her forehead.It found that the majestic eyes of the giant hyena had a soft brilliance, and the tightly closed and resolute lips were grinning into a crescent shape. Although it was not as hippie smiling, it was not too serious.Of course, it knows the special meaning contained in the unique movements of the giant yellow hyena, that is, to pay special attention to it, to support it, to dote on it, which is equivalent to announcing in public that the wasp-waisted lioness is the highest in the Patilu lion group after the change of dynasty. A lioness, roughly equivalent to a queen.

In the past during Lao Zamao's reign, the old lioness Zama was the lioness with the highest status. The so-called emperor and courtier, when Lao Zamao stepped down, Zama naturally fell out of favor.All of a sudden, the wasp-waisted lioness felt that she had found the reason why Zama was frightened when the old miscellaneous hair failed in the fight, oh, it was because she was afraid that her vested interests would be damaged.It turned its face and peeked at Oma secretly, thinking that it could see Oma's jealous eyes. Females always hope that other "people" are jealous of it. Jealousy is actually a kind of implicit compliment.

But to the surprise of the wasp-waisted lioness, Zumma didn't even look at it. Zumma's eyes were fixed on the group of lion cubs playing under the anthill from the beginning to the end, with panic and fear mixed in her eyes.The little lions are playing the game of chasing each other. It's fine. Is there anything to worry about?It's really weird and a little out of line!
Although the wasp-waisted lioness is very happy that the giant yellow mane has favored her, she is not particularly surprised. She knows that she is young and beautiful, and she is a coquettish fan of "people".In the past, when the old bastard was in power, he was treated better than other lionesses.For example, when the old miscellaneous hair is sleeping, if other lionesses, including the old lioness Zama, wake it up, it will roar like thunder, and the lioness who wakes it up may be severely punished; If the lion accidentally wakes up the old miscellaneous hair, the old miscellaneous hair will just hum angrily.In the lion society, there is no practice of relegating the old queen to the sidelines or demoting it to a commoner and replacing it with a new queen. Otherwise, the bee-waisted lioness would have taken the place of the old lioness Zama long ago.

The male lion is a mirror of the female lion, and it has already reflected its own value from this "mirror"; the male lion is a steelyard for the female lion, and it has already weighed its own weight from this "scale".

After tossing and tossing for a while, the "grooming worship" and "smell identification" of the lionesses finally came to an end. Next, it's the turn of the cubs.

The cubs of the Patilu lion group are all half-year-old, and the crimson fetal spots on their bodies have just begun to fade.

Two lion cubs whose tails were wagging like small bells first came to the giant yellow hyena, naughtily climbed to the shoulder blades of the big male lion, scratched and licked, coquettishly.One is a lioness cub named Shanshan, and the other is a male lion cub named Hunhun, both are the biological offspring of the white-breasted lioness.

According to the etiquette rules, the yellow giant hyena should lick the cub lightly to show approval; the yellow giant hyena should narrow its eyes slightly to show the amiability of the elders.The wasp-waisted lioness paid attention to the expression and movements of the yellow giant hyena, and found strangely that the eyes of the yellow giant hyena were not squinted, on the contrary, they were as big as copper bells. Facing a prey that was still struggling, there was a murderous intent.No no, now is the enthronement ceremony, and there is no possibility of any killing, the wasp-waisted lioness thought, it must be because her eyes were dazzled and had an illusion.

The wasp-waisted lioness raised one of its front paws and rubbed its eye sockets, then looked towards the giant mane, oh, it was indeed that he was suspicious, look, the giant mane lowered his head to lick Shanshan and Hunhun's necks, but... ...But...Why doesn't the giant hyena stick out its tongue, but show four long and sharp canine teeth?Shanshan who was licked also seemed to be a little bit wrong, her cute little face suddenly elongated horribly, her bright little eyes like glass beads burst out in horror, as if they were about to fall out of their eye sockets, as soon as the mouth of the giant yellow hyena left the little The guy's neck, the little guy fell to the ground with a thud.Huang Juyan turned his head to lick Hunhun again, and "licked" Hunhun down again.

A great sense of terror rolled over the heart of the wasp-legged lioness. The giant yellow hyena was not licking the two cubs lovingly, but brutally biting them to death!

How can this be?How can this be!The wasp-waisted lioness's mind went blank, numb with shock.

All the lionesses were also stunned, standing under the anthill like clay sculptures and wood carvings, motionless.Only the old lioness Zama collapsed on the ground, her eyes closed in pain.

The giant yellow mane and the braided lion rushed into the cubs in a whirlwind, just like wolves jumped into the flock of sheep, and foxes got into the flock of chickens. In a short period of seconds, four more lion cubs fell in a pool of blood .

Only the last three cubs remained, two of which, God forbid, were the offspring of her wasp-lumped lionesses.The other is the hawthorn fruit of the lion cub born to the old lioness Yuma.

The three surviving cubs were scared out of their wits, howled mournfully, and fled towards the lioness.

The wasp-waisted lioness recovered from the initial shock, jumped up reflexively, guarded the three cubs behind her, and yelled frantically at the two big male lions with mouths full of blood: Bastard, devil, Executioners, stop your slaughter!

The giant hyena looked at it inexplicably, and shook the fluffy black hair on the tip of its tail as if thinking it was nosy, signaling it to get out of the way.

The wasp-rumped lioness couldn't bear it any longer, so she jumped up and aimed at the giant mane and bit it. She wished she could bite off the cervical spine of the mane in one bite, and let the demon who killed their cubs fall in a pool of blood.But it is a lioness after all, with a petite body and relatively weaker strength. As soon as the paw landed on the shoulder of the giant hyena, the giant hyena leaped and lifted it away, and the braided lion took the opportunity to go around it Behind him, he took a sip and finished off a cub born to a wasp-waisted lioness.The wasp-waisted lioness let out a mournful trombone, and turned around to bite the braided lion's hind leg, but the braided lion was already prepared, turned around and bumped, and the wasp-waisted lioness was knocked into a somersault.
