Wolf's Endowment

Newborn baby elephants need to drink milk for 4 months, and then they can eat some grass. However, some baby elephants are very dependent on their mothers and drink their mother's milk until they reach adulthood.Elephants are generally sexually mature around 10 years old. Before that, they are in crisis. Adult elephants have almost no natural enemies, but young elephants have always been the target of attacks by lions, tigers and leopards.Any species is vulnerable when young, and they need the protection of their mother and family.

Biji can only drink milk now, and the milk fruit in the Red Rock Valley can be used as milk for him to eat.The milk fruit tastes sweet and full of juice, and Biggie likes it very much. Now he can only go to the lower milk fruit, roll up the milk fruit with his nose and put it into his mouth.The milk fruit at the high place is bigger and more mellow, I can jump up to the height of one person, and the fruit at the higher place can only be eaten when Biji grows up.He is very dependent on me, rubbing my back and forth with his little nose every day.His nose was covered with the juice of the milk fruit, and milk was all over my body. Once he raised his nose and sucked my nipple with his lower lip. I was so scared that I hurried him to the bushes and the inner rock wall. Under the plants, there are enough berries of all kinds there.

Fortunately, our communication is very effective. Animals are often amazingly direct and inspired. He stopped developing me.I was very curious about the whole mountain, so I took him to play for a few days.Although there is no enemy in the mountains, he still has to learn the survival rules of nature, and the plants here will wither slowly in winter, the baby elephant must go outside to find food, and then we have to face powerful carnivores.

Biggie is smaller than me now, but in less than a month he'll overtake me, and he'll have to walk in and out of Red Rock Valley by himself in clogs.I need to prepare some wood in advance, because he grows fast, the clothes of the little ones can't help, and the shoes of the baby elephant are changed more frequently.

Biggie hated the hot rock walls of Red Rock very much, and it took some effort to lead him in and out.This time I left him in the valley, and he is still stumbling and clumsy, but it won't be long before his hind legs straighten, and I need to stock up on food before the last meal of the monsoon feast.

a month later.The river flowing through this grassland has dried up, revealing the dry and cracked river channel.Millions of herds migrated away chasing the rain, and a belated bison herd came to this land.They sniffed the smell of water in the air, found a small pond, prepared to drink and continue on their way.But the few remaining water sources on this grassland are the domain of lions, hippos, rhinos and crocodiles, and they will not easily give up their land for outsiders to feast on.

The bison herd numbered more than 30 heads, and they broke into the crocodile's territory.In a blink of an eye, a newborn calf was dragged down by a big mouth. The bison did not give up the calf and ran away. His mother led the adult bison to stab the crocodile with its sharp horns.The calf broke free from the crocodile, but dozens of crocodiles emerged from the water, opened their mouths wide, exposed their sharp teeth, and swung their huge bodies, threatening the bison.The leader of the crocodile group is a huge male crocodile, which is 8 meters long and weighs 3 tons. He leads dozens of females.The calf was bitten into the water by him again. More than 20 strong adult bison walked down the pond together, roared and attacked the crocodile fiercely with their horns. The calf was rescued. Find the next river.The crocodile sank into the pond again, and the water returned to tranquility.

A herd of elephants was also looking for water. Led by an adult female elephant, he followed the path his mother had walked in his memory, and brought her tribe to a river pond.They bathed in mud in the pond to cool down, while the baby elephants were playing and playing. This river pond is not enough for all the elephants to bathe, so they can only enter in batches.After the mother elephant is washed, she will take care of the baby elephant to take a bath so that she can help at any time.Elephants can drink a lot of water, the pond dries up quickly, and they need to go on to find water.

But this river pond is the territory of the mighty lion that I used to visit secretly before. The elephants drank up the water source of the lion family. The lions may not be able to survive this water shortage season. They want to take revenge on the elephants.

The male lion led the lionesses to secretly follow the herd of elephants. The elephant herd quickly found the lions. The adult elephants surrounded the young elephants, waved their powerful trunks, and issued warning sounds from their mouths.The lions are not retreating, they are looking for opportunities.There was a rumbling sound in the sky, and a storm was coming.Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky with roaring thunder, and the lion attacked.With a loud bang, the war ended. A lioness and an adult elephant lay on the ground, their huge weight kicked up the flying dust, and the elephants surrounded them, but the elephant and the lioness could not continue. stand up.However, there were no injuries on their bodies. They were killed by lightning strikes.Adult elephants die every year due to lightning strikes. The span of forelimbs and hind limbs of adult elephants reaches 5 meters. A large amount of electric current paralyzed their hearts instantly.The lioness pounced on the elephant herd to disrupt their team. She pounced on the elephant that was conducting electricity. The lion's body couldn't bear the huge current, so she died too.

The pride dispersed, and on the way back another lioness fell, pierced by tusks in her belly.The elephant herd was also injured. A baby elephant was hit hard on the head. He couldn't control his trunk, couldn't drink water and eat grass, and soon he also fell down.Elephants have a strong memory, and their descendants will not visit this pond in the coming year, which caused them a lot of losses.But this heavy rain gave the herd new hope, and the water in the dry pool became abundant again.

Although there are still three months before the severe winter, I know that this grassland can no longer sneak in, and I will be food for lions until the rainy season next year.

I went back to Red Rock, and Biggie was piled up the milk nuts he had picked. When he saw me, he ran to me and rubbed me with his nose and body. He couldn't control his hind legs very well. Often step on together.I was brought to the fruit he received, and when I ate a piece of milk fruit, his nose would make a happy sound.It's like when he just came, I picked fruit for him to eat, I was secretly happy, I was obedient and smart at such a young age.I rubbed his long pointed beak against his skin to express my gratitude, and he wagged his tail, which seemed to be very helpful.

In a blink of an eye, it has been 5 months since Biji, and winter has come for a month, and most of the plants in the Red Rock Valley are withered. The 5-month-old Biggie is the size of an adult lioness. He needs a lot of food. My food accumulation is also exhausted. We have to venture outside to find food.

There is no rain or snow in winter, but the weather is very cold.I chose a wooded rocky area where the bears and snakes hibernate in the coldest of times.Elsewhere, solitary wolves and juvenile elephants are targeted by predators, while hibernating animals generally stay out of their burrows unless disturbed.

For several days in a row, I was lucky and did not encounter any danger.Bears generally hibernate in sheltered caves, and we are not allowed to go to any sheltered places.The bear will come out immediately when it hears the sound, tearing apart the intruder.I took Biji to the air outlet, there are a lot of trees here, Biji eats leaves and branches, slowly groping to eat bark, Biji without a female elephant, everything can only be learned by himself.When Biggie is eating, I have to be on duty for him. If there is any movement, I have to change places and continue eating.He would bite off the fresh inner bark of the tree and pass it to me. Wolves also eat bark in winter. The bark that Biggie found was delicious, with a slightly sour fragrance and a citrusy taste.These trees have been severely damaged by elephants, but it doesn't matter, they will soon recover and grow new bark.

In winter, it is easy for scavengers to find food. Many herbivores starve to death or freeze to death. Careful observation can always find dead bodies.And I hid behind the tree next to the corpse, waiting for the prey to take the bait. In practice, I mastered hunting skills, biting the opponent's trachea tightly, or tearing the opponent's stomach. I also learned to eat raw food quickly, and I can only eat one meal A few minutes, or you'll be a target right away.

The pond in the Red Rock Mountain is frozen, and the flow of the waterfall is much smaller after the rainy season. At first, Biji and I were able to cut through the ice to drink water, but now it is completely frozen, and Biji and I have to find water again. .

The hippopotamuses in this world can also survive in the cold winter. They have no sweat glands on their bodies and their body temperature is very high. The river ponds where they live will not freeze, which is the guarantee of water for all animals in this area.Of course, it's also extremely dangerous there.

The hippos and rhinos in the river pond are all herbivores. Unless food is scarce, they will be omnivorous, eating other animals and even their own kind.Biggie and I were at the pond before dawn, we were going to drink and leave before the herbivores came.Lions, tigers and leopards mostly hunt at dusk or at night, but they will also be active in the early morning. Herbivores will come to the pond to drink water in the early morning. Large carnivores and crocodiles are likely to hide somewhere waiting for you to show up, sometimes even hidden previous day or days.

Feeling my surroundings, I drank water next to Biggie.Crocodiles generally don’t attack elephants. He puts me under his body for protection. Small elephants usually play under the body of adult elephants. Biji is much taller than me. He always likes to put me under his big belly , let me play under him.I looked around after I was full, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and I began to feel uneasy.Biggie still needs a drink, and he sucks up a few liters of water through his nose and into his mouth.I touch his leg, tell him to keep an eye out, and Biggie speeds up to drink.There was the smell of a tigress in the wind, and Biggie and I acted immediately, running as fast as we could towards Red Rock Mountain.Adult elephants are huge, have limited mobility, and can't run fast, but Biji is smaller. He is flexible and follows me closely.

In the jungle, the trees are sloping, the mountains are piled up with rocks, and there are often waterfalls and small streams between the rock walls. However, in this season, the streams are either dry or frozen. Tigers break into other animals’ territories for drinking water, often causing fierce battles with heavy casualties.Winter has reduced the number of carnivores here, but with spring on the horizon, the stronger animals that survived the harsh winter can have offspring and their numbers will recover.

The tigress spotted us and started chasing us.Her large, hairy mouth was still bloodied, as if she had just had a good meal.But we can't take it lightly, because she has three cubs about 3 year old. Even if they are not hungry, Biji and I are very likely to be the target of cubs practicing hunting skills.

The long cry of an elephant came from the air, and the elephants could perceive each other even if they were far away. I asked the little elephant to run to the place where the sound came from.I continued to run towards Hongyan Mountain. If the elephant saw me running with the little elephant, it would use its trunk to slam me down to the ground to protect the little elephant.

An adult tiger can leap 6 meters away, but the female tiger threw me down with her big sharp claws and gave me a warning roar.She didn't bite me, just put her paws on me, she was waiting for her children.I guessed right, I became a culling practice subject.They will slowly play with their dead prey like a cat and a mouse.But here is not far from Hongyan, and the morning is coming, the lord here will launch an attack because of the tiger's invasion.Given the chance, I can live.Her children were approaching, she let go of her big claws, and taught her children hunting skills, how to bite the throat, how to pounce, how to use the claws to grasp the prey, I ran to the red rock with all my strength, the children The tiger pounced on me from behind, and I dodged and ran away.When the dew dried up, other beasts might come and attack the cubs. The tigress dared not stay any longer, and took her cubs back to the jungle.

I escaped from danger and returned to Hongyan Valley. There was Biji's breath in the mountain, and it seemed that he was safe.Super inspired to warn me of danger, I jumped back onto the hot rock wall wearing clogs.A full-grown male elephant appeared in the valley.He just hit me with the nose, but his four feet were badly burned and he couldn't move much.

Biggie snorted loudly, and he intersected the trunks of the adult elephants with their trunks, rubbing their noses together to convey information.The adult elephant was no longer restless. He moved into the pool step by step, stomped his feet vigorously on the ice, and slapped the ice with his powerful and robust trunk. The ice in the pool cracked.He rescued the baby elephant and opened the water source for us.But he didn't drink water, his foot was injured more seriously, and he dragged his legs step by step towards the stone wall covered with withered vines. The stone wall was knocked open by his strong body. The vines and the cool water, everything was as usual.Biggie sat on the ground sadly, and I rubbed my pointed mouth to comfort him.Now I figured out that this beautiful fairy tale kingdom is the mysterious elephant tomb in the legend.
