lion heart

Chapter 11 A half-sized warthog
Heibi and Baixue don't eat or sleep together, and they always keep a distance of 30 meters.But before they go hunting every day, they will play together without exception, simulating killing each other, and finally end with mutual caressing.Both motherless children needed fondling, and both Snow White and Black Nosed's mother left them too early, and they didn't give them enough fondling when they were young, and they made up for that lack of youth.

It seems that the friendship between Bai Xue and Black Nose has transcended blood, surpassed the boundaries of species, and is unbreakable.

In order to get rid of the harassment of the jackals, Black Nose took Baixue away from the swamp of Lake Natron to hunt in the shrub grasslands at the edge of the swamp.Black Nose carefully explored every path.

However, Snow White is not very enthusiastic about this hunt.Because Baixue knew very well in her heart that if she left the swamp, her white fur would fully expose her on the golden grassland.Although Baixue went hunting with his mother Jinweijian's lioness hunting team since he was a child, and also observed and learned the hunting skills of lions, but because Baixue has snow-white fur, his mother Jinweijian never allowed him to step into the real world. hunting grounds.Bai Xue is always under the sole care of her father, Brown Mane. Under the big tree far away from the hunting ground, she yawns and grinds her teeth with Brown Mane.

The cheetah is a solitary animal with low emotional intelligence.What's more, Hei Nai was abandoned by his mother when he was three months old, so he has no sense of Bai Xue's emotions.Black Nose is searching for prey, imagining that he can chase and run extremely fast, and catch many prey easily.

Blacknose finds a baby warthog that once ate the delicacy as a child.But Blacknose had never seen his mother capture a baby warthog.When Bai Xue didn't pay attention, Black Nose went to break into the warthog's nest by himself.Perhaps, Black Nose is still immersed in childhood fantasies, perhaps Black Nose relies on Bai Xue to deal with its troubles behind it.

Warthogs are basically cave-dwelling and ugly looking.The huge head occupies one-third of the body length, and on the already ugly face, there are also four huge fangs, stabbing forward abruptly.Those four huge tusks are the sharp weapons of warthogs. Inexperienced young cheetahs are often stabbed by warthogs, or even killed.But when a warthog faces a strong adult lion, it is too weak and often has no room to resist.

Seeing the arrival of Snow the Lion, the warthogs fled in panic.Bai Xue had no choice but to find a termite mound in a hurry, and lay in ambush, waiting for the frightened warthog to pass by it.

Sure enough, a half-sized warthog with gray and wrinkled body, with its tail upright, fled towards the termite mound in panic... Now, the warthog is still 20 meters away from the place where Baixue was lying in ambush.Baixue didn't move, because Baixue didn't have the confidence to hunt successfully at this distance.

Warthogs are good at running long distances, while lions rely on pounce and sprint speed to win.The escaped warthog weighed about [-] kilograms, not much lighter than Xue Bai, who was already a juvenile lioness.Snow White continued to lie in wait for the Warthog to get closer.When Bai Xue was a child, she saw her mother Jinweijian teach the young lioness how to catch a warthog. If Bai Xue started to attack when she was nine meters away from the warthog, she would be more likely to succeed.

However, Snow White didn't know what to do to catch the warthog without hurting herself.

Black Nose is always in a state of excitement.Under Baixue's repeated gestures, although it lowered its shoulders and slipped into the bushes opposite the termite mound, its black and white long tail was still raised high and trembling constantly.

The half-grown warthog stopped in front of the bushes where Blacknose was, and only then did it realize that it had escaped the protection of the herd.The half-sized warthog looked around for a mate.

Blacknose jumped out, but when he saw that the warthog was twice his size, he stopped the pursuit and sneaked back into the bushes, fearing that the warthog would attack him.

Even so, the half-sized warthog was still so frightened that he couldn't tell the direction, and rushed to Bai Xue in one fell swoop.Snow White jumped up instinctively, and bit the warthog by the throat.Snow White has not yet been able to bite off the throat of a warthog like an adult lion, but it can bite the throat of a warthog tightly, causing the warthog to slowly suffocate to death.

The half-sized warthog struggled for a while, then stopped moving.

Blacknose burst out from behind the bushes, tearing at the warthog's thighs as a matter of course.It wanted to tear off the warthog's fat thigh meat, find a secluded place, and eat gracefully.Suddenly, a trace of unhappiness filled Xue Bai's heart again.

In a pride, all lions eat together.Bai Xue really doesn't understand why the black-nosed cheetah always hides and hides all day long, and how many prey it wants to eat and hide.

Bai Xue held back the displeasure in her heart, and helped Hei Nai tear off a warthog thigh.Before Snow White could disembowel the warthog, Black Nose came back, bit off another warthog's thigh, and ran away.Bai Xue snorted at the black nose in dissatisfaction, expressing the resentment in her heart.

Snow White had just opened the belly of the warthog and pulled out the liver. Before she could swallow a mouthful, the black nose came back.Black Nose unceremoniously snatched the waxy and slippery warthog liver from Snow White's mouth.

Since her mother left Baixue, it was the first time that Baixue ate such fresh large animal offal.Snow White could no longer restrain the anger in her heart, and let out a threatening roar, warning Black Nose not to approach the prey again.

After a while, Black Nose came back cautiously, tentatively approaching the prey.Bai Xue couldn't bear it anymore, raised her front paw, and patted the black-nosed little head.Baixue dragged the prey angrily and disappeared into the reeds.

Night fell, and this evening Snow White did not hunt.Snow White swallowed most of the warthog's meat.

The average daily meat consumption of female lions is about [-] kg, and that of male lions is [-] kg.But if there is no successful hunting, there are also those who starve for two or three days.If they return with a full load, they may eat [-] kilograms or even [-] kilograms of meat at a time.

Some of the remaining skeletons were hidden by Bai Xue in the nearby bushes.Tomorrow morning, Baixue didn't have to hunt, and continued to lick the meat off the warthog's skeleton, so she wouldn't be hungry all day long.This is the most full time Baixue has eaten since her mother left Baixue, and she still has food storage.Nature opened the door to Bai Xue.

Baixue was immersed in the beautiful longing, and soon fell asleep on the rock in the bush.

The black nose hiding in the bushes in the distance is always observing Baixue, and it no longer dares to snatch its prey in front of Baixue.After Bai Xue fell asleep, Black Nose collapsed from hunger.For three days, it hardly ate anything.Two rabbit legs, a female water chicken, and a litter of young water chickens all went into the stomachs of the jackals.The most irritating thing is that the two fat and tender warthog legs and a complete set of warthog liver that Black Nose got today were all snatched by the jackals.Among the jackals who robbed Black Nose of food, there is also the little jackal's father.

Black Nose was too hungry to fall asleep, vaguely, it heard Bai Xue snoring and fell into a deep sleep.Blacknose quietly found the place where Snow White hid the warthog skeleton.

When Bai Xue fell asleep, the skeleton of the warthog had been gnawed by the jackals until there was no shreds of meat left, only the ugly head of the warthog was left, and the four sharp fangs were chilling in the dim moonlight .

At dawn, Snow White awoke to see Blacknose still nibbling on the warthog's scalp.Disappointment, frustration, and hatred flashed across Bai Xue's face one by one.Snow White believed that the greedy Black Nose not only took the two fat and tender warthog legs and the warthog liver for himself, but also ate the meat from the warthog's skeleton.

Bai Xue ignored Black Nose and walked away quietly.
