Reborn as a cheetah

Halfway through the rainy season, Lawson and Rory are seventeen months old.

The two brothers are becoming more and more independent, and occasionally they still act like a baby with Luo Qiao, but they rarely stick together with their father.Often it was Rojo who walked away alone, while the brothers went about their own business.Fighting, hunting, and playing with Xi Lan's brothers.The alliance of the four male cheetahs has been firmly established, and Sham intends to turn a blind eye to this matter, but to teach her three children more severely, no matter what, living with such two male cheetahs is always How long do you want to watch.

After Xi Lan leaves Sham, she will not be separated from her brothers immediately, and will live alone after she is in heat for the first time.Compared with leopards, cheetahs can be regarded as late-maturing. Generally, female leopards will go into heat for the first time in about eleven months. Of course, they cannot mate yet. Like cheetahs, leopards, like cheetahs, will not really mature until they are about three years old. mature.

Recently, Luo Qiao often feels anxious about gains and losses. On the one hand, he is reluctant to part with the two little cheetahs he raised, and on the other hand, he feels that this idea is too selfish.Just like children who grow up must leave their parents and live independently, Rosen and Luo Rui must have the process of independence when they grow up, which is related to their future survival and reproduction.

But he was still worried... What if he couldn't catch the prey, didn't have enough to eat, or was in danger...

Well, he's just a silly dad.

Rojo had just caught a gazelle, and after eating with his two children, he lay down on the grass, drowsy.

Sham took her three children out to hunt, and Xida also took the four cubs out. The four-month-old cubs can already keep up with their mother's footsteps, even though they are still the target of many predators. It is also necessary to learn to adapt to this cruel prairie.

Rosen and Rory are climbing up and down the rocky hill, and they are interested in a fig tree beside the rocky hill.Cheetahs like trees, but they are not good at climbing. When Rosen Laurie was a child, his claws were still very sharp, and he could easily climb up dead branches and short trees that fell on the ground, and taller trees were no problem.As they get older, the game gets harder and more clumsy.

But compared to hyenas, which are completely clueless to trees, cheetahs are already pretty good.

As long as they climbed to a higher place, the hyenas were helpless.

Thinking of this, Luo Qiao turned over, retracted his paws, and rubbed his back on the grass.Although Rosen and Rory have already mastered the hunting skills, catching the prey is not the root, but keeping the prey is the key.At the beginning, I had suffered a lot in this regard.Cheetahs are too weak to drag their prey into trees to hide like leopards, and within ten to twenty minutes after the end of the chase, they are almost powerless to resist, which also leads to them being often robbed.Even Sham and Xida were robbed repeatedly, not to mention Luo Qiao.What should Rosen and Rory do if this happens to them too?

The closer the two cheetah cubs become independent, the more worried Rojo becomes.

Feeling comfortable, Luo Qiao turned over and stood up and yawned. When the children were young, they worried all day about how to raise them.When the children grow up, they worry about whether they can live a good life.This is the common problem of parents all over the world, right?

It's just that human parents are worried about their children getting married and starting a business, but cheetah fathers are worried about their son's food and life safety.

According to Sham, Rojo was just worrying.Luo Qiao has already taught Rosen and Luo Rui what should be taught and what can be taught. Whether they can survive and live well depends on themselves. Luo Qiao cannot help them forever.

If you think that the [-] independent cheetahs are still very young, wouldn't the serval who was kicked out of the house at one year old cry to death?

"No cheetah is as useless as you think." Sham gave Luo Qiao a paw, intending to slap her son who is concerned and chaotic, "Maybe their life will be a bit difficult when they first become independent, but all cheetahs are This is how they live. If you don’t let them be independent, they won’t grow up at all! Besides,” Sham paused for a moment before continuing, “If someone like you can live a good life, can they still suffer?”

There is one more thing that Sham didn't say, these two crooked little cheetahs are not like simple-minded young cheetahs at all, and they certainly won't bump into walls like other young people who have just become independent.

Her two young sons will also benefit from it.

Luo Qiao licked the painful place slapped by Sham, and wanted to say, dear mother, is this comfort?Why did he always feel that Sham was beating him around the bush?

Delusion?

It's not just Rosen and Rory who are about to become independent, Beatrice's two cubs are also about to leave their mother.

It is not easier for leopards to raise cubs than cheetahs. Many leopard mothers can only support one cub in one litter.For cheetah mothers, survival can be difficult for cubs without siblings, and they always try to have as many babies as possible.But for leopards, the survival rate of a cub is actually higher.

While leopard mothers rarely support more than two cubs, cheetah mothers often take a herd of cubs across the savannah.

Sham's highest record is six, and a female cheetah once gave birth to nine cubs in a litter, but not all of them survived.

The leopards are also growing fast. The male leopard is stronger than his mother, and the female leopard is about the same size as his mother. The two leopard cubs have inherited Beatrice's excellent hunting skills and fiery temper. The male leopard's curiosity Heavier than his younger sister, he once challenged a five-meter-long crocodile alone!

At that time, the crocodile was lying on the shore basking in the sun. The cold night made him move slowly. If his body temperature was not allowed to rise, he could not move.

When Beatrice's child found him, the little female leopard instinctively felt the danger and avoided it, but the little male leopard stepped forward curiously and patted the crocodile's nose with its paw.

The so-called ignorant people are fearless. They ate crocodile meat when they were young, but it was already a broken and incomplete corpse. This kind of huge reptile with a hideous face was still very strange to the little leopard.

The little male leopard was very lucky. The crocodile was slow at that time, allowing him to escape the fatal blow. I believe that from then on, he will remain in awe of this huge guy.

Beatrice knew it was time for her to let the baby go.A male leopard will not allow another male who is about to mature in his territory.Even father and son are the same.

Monty won't be too polite to his son, if the little male leopard doesn't want to get hurt, he has to leave voluntarily.Of course, if he can defeat Monty, he can inherit this vast territory. Obviously, that is just daydreaming, and he is not Monty's opponent.

Beatrice has already greeted Monty, her two children will leave before the rainy season, the male leopard will go alone to find its own territory, and Beatrice will take her daughter to the territory of another male leopard Live, and then divide their territories.

Monty wouldn't mate with her again, and she didn't want to find a man when she needed one in the future.

Monty expressed indifference to whether Beatrice would leave. In fact, he was planning how to make Rojo's two sons independent as soon as possible. Eighteen months was Monty's limit.

Lion cubs became independent later than both cheetahs and leopards.Generally, they will not really leave the lion group until they are two to three years old.If the power of the lion group changes during this period, and the throne of the lion king is taken away, the cubs under one year old will be killed, and the older cubs will scatter for their lives.The lucky ones live, the unlucky ones die.

While the cubs may return to the pride when they grow up, the male cubs leave for good, either to die or claim the throne for themselves.

The throne of the Lion King of the Horsby Lions was occupied by Fili and Arrow, and Nas had become a thing of the past.After a short period of turmoil, the lions returned to calm.The lionesses began to hunt as usual, and several lionesses were pregnant with the brothers' children.

In the Oros pride, the newborn cub has been brought back to the pride by its mother. The six-week-old cub is chubby and very lovable.Lionesses are very friendly to their cubs. They will gently rub these cubs with their paws and foreheads, and the cubs will instinctively show obedience and politeness.

Oros is very tolerant to his children, but only when he is in a good mood.If he is in a bad mood or hungry, the lion king will be very irritable, and it is very dangerous for such a small lion to approach him.

The mothers of the newborn cubs watched nervously as their babies approached Oros, whose heads were no bigger than Oros' paws.

Fortunately, Oros was in a good mood today, and he even licked a cub lying on his back on his paw.

The lionesses breathed a sigh of relief.

The eleven cubs born in the last rainy season have grown up, and they have begun to participate in hunting. These newcomers have become the targets of simulated hunting by these sub-adult lions.They must endure the roughness of their brothers and sisters, which is the rule of lions.

Of course, if the older cubs go too far, the lionesses will come forward too.But that's rarely the case, and cubs are not as vulnerable as they appear.

This is how the big cats educate their children, both rough and gentle, and the cubs must learn survival skills by themselves in order to survive the brutal competition.As for the cheetah father who is worried about his children all day long, it can only be regarded as an example.
