  Chapter 781 Born to Know

  Located in the sandy land of Namibia in southwestern Africa, a female cheetah looked around vigilantly every few minutes.

  Its body was lying on the grass, but its head was raised high, looking around deeply.

   After repeatedly inspecting the surroundings for several hours, it finally got into a piece of tall grass with confidence.

  In the hidden grass, there is a litter of six cheetah cubs who were born less than a day old.

   "Meow..." The cubs uttered sporadically.

   Their bodies are very fragile, it may take ten days to open their eyes, and they will almost always hide in this grass within a month.

   This is the dry season, and the competition among carnivores is even more brutal. At this time, a female cheetah that has to feed six cubs is destined to face the most severe test of survival.

   Fortunately, all animals will try to gather near the water source, so this piece of grass far away from the river will be a little safer.

  The mother cheetah looked around vigilantly again before lying on her side next to her cubs, allowing them to **** milk instinctively.

  However, one of the six cheetah cubs did not seem to go to drink milk like its brothers and sisters, but kicked its legs vigorously on the compacted grass nest, trying to stand up.

  The fluffy fur on its back floated with its movements, and its four calves trembled, but it still couldn't stand up.

  This little milk leopard has just been born, and it will take at least two or three days before it can crawl. At this moment, it is a waste of energy to try to stand up without wanting to eat.

  The female cheetah moved her body slightly, changed her lying position, and got closer to her, hoping that the baby leopard could smell the milk and do the right thing.

  However, the little milk leopard leaned on its mother for half of its body, borrowing strength slowly, and stood up instead.

  The little milk leopard took a step forward, but his frail body only jumped forward a bit before falling down again.

  The mother cheetah finally gave up on guiding this little guy, her experience made her understand... six cubs are really too many.

  This maverick little milk leopard may be a defective product destined to be eliminated from birth.

  The body structure of a female cheetah is doomed that it cannot store a large amount of fat, which means that it cannot store food in its body to convert into milk. During lactation, it must hunt and eat every day, otherwise the litter of cubs will starve.

   For this reason, it is absolutely impossible to waste too much time on the feeding problem of this little milk leopard alone.

  After the feeding, the female cheetah stood up, and she had to fill her stomach.

  I saw it licked the cubs, waiting for them to sleep soundly.

  The five cubs fell asleep obediently after eating enough, but only the little milk leopard, who couldn't even open his eyes, was still wasting his energy trying to get up.

   After careful observation, the female cheetah found that with the tossing of the little guy, the surrounding air and even some grass clippings were disappearing strangely.

  It has never seen this phenomenon, let alone know what it means.

   "Meow..." It seemed that it was too tired after tossing around, it finally let out a cry, and lay still on the grass.

   This is really a maverick little milk leopard. When other cubs bark, it doesn't say a word.

  At this moment, everyone fell asleep, but it screamed.

  The mother cheetah vigilantly observed the surrounding area, and comforted it repeatedly for a long time, but saw that the baby leopard's barking still persisted, so she had to pick it up and move it to another bush about 30 meters away from the grass nest.

   There is no way to do this, the sound will attract other predators.

  After isolating the baby leopard, the female cheetah moved away from the den to look for prey.

   It didn't come back with a tired body until dusk. From its shriveled stomach, it could be seen that it hadn't eaten today.

  Back to the nest, it first licked the cubs one by one to confirm the number.

  Five, reminding him that he transferred one. The mother cheetah didn't abandon it, so she went there to check on the baby leopard.

   "Meow..." It finally calmed down, lying on the grass very weak and tired.

  The female cheetah picked it up and wanted to bring it back to the den, but stopped after taking two steps.

   It has not eaten all day, and its milk supply is seriously insufficient, so it cannot feed six cubs.

  Even the other five couldn’t get enough to eat.

  Finally, the mother cheetah put it down again, licked the cubs, and returned to the den of the five cubs.

  The difficult night passed, and the female cheetah almost stayed up all night, always vigilant about its surroundings.

   Only in the daytime, after the field of view widened, did it supplement sleep.

   But he still wakes up every few minutes and looks around.

   Until the afternoon, it felt that it had almost rested, so it chose to go hunting.

   It can’t fail anymore today, it has to eat, otherwise none of the six cubs may survive.

   Fortunately, it is a female leopard with superb hunting skills. With unremitting efforts, she finally managed to capture a springbok and had a full meal.

  The female cheetah happily returned to the den, but near the den, she saw the animal she least wanted to see...a lion.

  The hind leg of the lioness was injured, and she was very old. She seemed to be kicked out of the pride and lived alone.

  A lion passed by near the den where the cub was hiding, which made the female cheetah very anxious.

  But it didn’t dare to approach the place where the cub was hiding, because the lioness obviously didn’t notice the cub and was staring at her fiercely at the moment.

"Roar!"

  The lioness gave a low growl to warn the cheetah.

  The cheetah was frightened and fled in a panic, but kept its distance, instead of completely fleeing the area.

  It wanted to lure the lion away, but the lion was not interested in it. Being injured, it knew that it would never be possible to chase the cheetah, so it didn't want to chase the cheetah at all.

  The lion didn't think much about the behavior of the female cheetah, and was about to leave.

  However, it seemed that they were startled by the previous roar, and five cheetah cubs cried out from the grass nest.

  So that's how it is... The lioness finally realized that the cub of the female cheetah was nearby, and immediately followed the sound to find it in the grass.

  The female cheetah was extremely anxious, and it dared to approach the lion, but the female lion just turned around and pretended to bite, forcing the female cheetah back.

   It is impossible to fight. Except for necessary hunting, never fight. This is the common sense of cheetahs.

  So the female cheetah just kept provoking the lion, but never dared to make real contact, relying on her speed to jump up and down around the lion.

   But the lion ignored it and followed the sound to the cubs.

  After a while, the lion left proudly, and the female cheetah returned to the grass nest to check until it was out of sight.

   died, and the bodies of the three cubs were scattered in the grass coldly, and they were killed by the lion.

   Fortunately, there are two cubs that have learned to crawl, and they crawled out of the grass nest playfully before, and the lion did not find them, so they escaped unharmed.

   There is no doubt that these are two strong cheetah cubs. They are only two days old and can climb so far.

   "Meow...meow!" The mother cheetah called out to the missing cubs, and followed the response to find them.

   Not only that, but it also brought back the baby leopard that was quarantined the day before.

  Three cubs, this is its only child. The number was cut in half.

"Meow…"

  The maverick little milk leopard has not drank milk for two days since it was born. Although it is dying, it is not dead after all.

  It seems that in this frail body, there is a tenacious will, supporting it with its last breath.

  The mother cheetah leaned over to breastfeed the three cubs. This time, the maverick little guy finally knew how to suckle.

   With a big mouth, greedily sucking what can support it to live.

  Five days later, the baby leopard looked no different from the sisters around her.

  Feeding, playing, and practicing crawling ignorantly.

  The female cheetahs would come back to feed them every day. Even though they couldn’t get enough to eat, they still lived tenaciously.

  Ten days later, all the cubs had opened their eyes.

  Two of them looked at the world curiously, and while playing together, they observed the surrounding environment.

Fiddle with the earth and rocks, crush the weeds with your body, correspond the feeling and smell, as well as the nature of the crushed and fiddled with the things you see in front of you, and use these playful behaviors to get familiar with the plants, trees, and soil around you one stone.

   But only the little milk leopard became independent again.

  It dimly opened its eyes, but suddenly lost its playful nature, as if being in a daze itself was the greatest pleasure.

  Different from other sisters, it feels that it is very familiar with everything around it, and there is no need to try it.

  Sky, clouds, sun, grass, sand, flies, and two cheetah cubs who are its sisters.

   All of these, it feels like it knows it all, and even knows what they do.

  It lay quietly on the grass, staring blankly at the two cubs fighting, thinking involuntarily.

   "This is a cheetah cub... Am I a cheetah too? Eh? How would I know?"

   "Huh? Me? How do I know 'me'?"

   "What is 'I'? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"

  After opening his eyes, the cognition of too many things suddenly filled the brain of this little milk leopard.

  It knows the sky, the earth, and all the plants and animals in front of it. These seem to be nothing new.

   Even, it can clearly recognize the concept of 'I', and judge and think with subjective will.

  This made it gradually tired even if it wasn't playing around, and fell asleep after less than an hour.
