Juliet Tower

There are no white rhinos.

The off-road vehicle convoy drove all the way to the Mara River, and then lined up on the bank.

A large herd of herbivores on the river bank ate hard, at least hundreds of wildebeest.

The guide drove the car and stopped at a place with a good view. They were adjacent to a ramp on the left. The slope sloped all the way into the river, and was trampled to the ground. This is undoubtedly one of the crossing points for herbivores.

Qiao Yumian was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at An Jiayu, who also looked dumbfounded: "No...it's not..."

"Not necessarily...maybe just eating grass...not necessarily going to pass..."

After all, who knows what animals think.

"The Crossing of Heaven".

The most shocking scene on this continent is about to be staged before their eyes.Although they were prepared to squat and guard, after all, it was only the first day, and no one was ready to hit the big luck.An Jiayu frantically changed the lens for the camera, and replaced a spare camera with a super wide-angle lens for Qiao Yumian: "Can you use it?"

"Yes...but not professionally..."

"Just take more shots. It doesn't matter whether he is professional or not, and he won't participate in the competition." An Jiayu set up the camera position, sweating from the tip of his nose with excitement.

Unknowingly, dozens of off-road vehicles gathered on both sides of the Mara River. The guide said that this is not the most time.

And at the same time they gathered on the river bank overlooking the rushing river, there was also a group of scavengers, vultures.They circled and landed, staring silently at the river, which is the habitat of the Nile crocodiles. The beasts in the water have not eaten for two or three months, and they are very hungry.And these insidious birds are waiting, waiting for the victim to appear, and if they catch the right moment, they can have a full meal and eat up the corpse.

Herbivores are fraught with dangers on their long migratory road. When crossing the grassland, they will be slaughtered by lions and cheetahs at any time.When wading through the rapids, crocodiles and hippos are watching. Some of them must die while crossing the river, but they will not stop in order to survive.

In this long journey, some deaths are accompanied by some new births.

"It's time to pass!" Not only the tour guide whispered, but the walkie-talkie in every car could hear it.

Hundreds of pairs of human eyes stared at the narrow river crossing, ready to capture the moment when wildebeests leaped into the river.

The car that had been turned off suddenly restarted, and their guide actually drove the car away from the ramp, moved it ten meters to one side, and interspersed among other cars.

Qiao Yumian felt strange, didn't it be hard to grab the nearest seat?

Seeing his suspicious expression, the guide laughed and said, "It's too close, you can't take pictures."

He and An Jiayu looked at each other, not knowing why, but still decided to trust this experienced Maasai.

Not wanting to gather together to look down on the animals drinking water, they dispersed after 10 minutes, looking for suitable grass and burying their heads to eat leisurely again. They gave the humans a shot, and everyone was a little discouraged: "Today probably won't be too late, it's a bit late. Better come here early tomorrow."

Two or 10 minutes later, cars left one after another.

"Are you all right? Do you still have to wait?" The Maasai guide turned around and asked, "Why don't you come here early tomorrow, in fact, the chances of meeting you in the morning are higher."

An Jiayu was a little reconciled, and nudged Qiao Yumian with her elbow: "You have a discussion with them, it's rare for us to come..."

"...so why do they listen to me..." Qiao Yumian looked at him innocently, "I'm not Simba."

"Because all animals like you..." An Jiayu couldn't help laughing, but the smile couldn't hide the small disappointment after the little expectation failed.

Qiao Yumian lay side by side with him under the roof, staring at a group of zebras not far behind the back of the car and jokingly said, "Don't eat it, you've eaten it all, and the grass on the opposite side is fresher." Zebras like a few zebras to stand Together, the stripes look dazzling from a distance, spelling out a strange giant beast, so as to scare off some timid or bad-eyed predators.

"What's the use of telling them, wildebeest are leading the way..." An Jiayu put the camera cover back on the lens and put it on the car seat.

Qiao Yumian reached out and patted the guide's shoulder: "Let's go, we will..."

Before he finished speaking, the guide suddenly reached out to stop him.

Qiao Yumian followed his gaze to the rearview mirror, and the zebras actually raised their heads just now, stomped their horseshoes on the spot, bypassed the cars, and ran closer to the shore.

"No... No way, Qiao Yumian..." An Jiayu was dumbfounded, "I really listen to you... Who the hell are you..."

The trampling sound spread round and round, infecting all the animals, and the wildebeests started to form without warning.When they ran around the bank at full speed, Qiao Yumian also understood why the guide stayed away from that slope.

The running of hundreds of herbivores brought up billowing dust, and the yellow sand was flying nearby, but it was very spectacular from a distance, like walking on clouds.

More wildebeest and antelopes swarmed from afar, joined this massive team, jumped from the rocks on the beach, and jumped into the turbulent current.

They all saw the beasts in the water floating to the surface of the river, but ignored them.

When the crocodile opens its mouth to reveal its fangs, and whose neck it bites on, it all depends on luck.

Qiao Yumian was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe, her hands were covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't help but began to pray for the animals who swam to the other side desperately, even though it was futile.

The dark brown Nile crocodile, like a reef in the river, seized the right time, and in the blink of an eye, it bit the neck of an adult wildebeest and dragged it aside.

The same kind turned a blind eye to their suffering companions, and would only use faster speed and stronger posture to escape from this river and reach the heaven on the other side.

The wildebeest was ups and downs, struggling to die.

And this is just the beginning of death.

The slopes on the opposite bank are steep and almost vertical. They are piled up on the edge of the dangerous river and cannot be easily escaped. New victims will appear at any time.

So some of them stepped on the backs of their companions and struggled to climb up the steep bank.

The large group escaped successfully and ran towards the abundant grassland without looking back, while the vultures who had been waiting for a long time on both sides of the bank finally got their chance.Some corpses that were directly trampled to death floated down the river, some animals that were slandered or passed out limply waited to die on the slope, and birds of prey flew over in groups...

Only then did Qiao Yumian realize that they didn't only eat carrion like humans thought, but fresh meat was also favored.

The seriously injured wildebeest looked at the predators surrounding it in mid-air, and closed its eyes in despair.

The previous excitement and agitation in the crowd gradually dissipated at this moment, replaced by the shock of witnessing the law of the jungle and the awe of the tragic nature.

"Did you... catch it?" An Jiayu asked in a low voice, turning his eyes away from the tragic river.

"At the beginning, I took a few pictures..." Then he didn't remember taking pictures at all. He kept his eyes on the viewfinder of the camera, but forgot to press the shutter.The thrilling pictures of the animals fighting for survival only remain in my mind.

"Me too..." An Jiayu looked at the densely packed herd of wildebeest on the opposite bank. Their ceremony to welcome the newborn after the catastrophe was nothing new. They still lowered their heads and grazing quietly.

Qiao Yumian touched her stomach, feeling hungry involuntarily.He looked down and saw that An Jiayu was pulling out a chocolate bar from his bag.He tore open the package, bit one end, broke it hard, took the upper half, and handed the remaining half to Qiao Yumian.

After a whole afternoon of hunting, the Big Five of Africa gathered three kinds, the African lions who were too lazy, the African buffaloes gathered by the water source, and the huge African elephants passing by in groups.

The little elephant flapped its ears cheerfully, but suddenly stopped in front of the off-road vehicle and raised its soft nose.

A cowbird landed on its broad head from mid-air, it raised its head curiously but couldn't see it, so it had to use its long nose to test the top of its head, the bird jumped back a few steps and moved to its back .

It seemed to have some new fun, shaking its head in place until it was forcibly taken away by the returning mother elephant.

This warm and lovely episode was recorded by An Jiayu in its entirety, and it finally calmed down the trembling aftertaste left by the journey to heaven.

Their off-road vehicle stayed in place for a long time, watching the elephant herd walking towards the sunset in the distance.

The setting sun in the grassland is incomparably beautiful. On the broad horizon, the towering Albizia julienne is cut out by the golden-red light to form a lonely shadow. Occasionally, a giraffe that is as lonely as it is waiting.In the black-and-white-golden-red picture, the crisis is hidden, and everything is grand and peaceful.

Returning from the primitive animal society to the modern residence, they washed off the dust and sweat of a busy day.

In order not to disturb the nearby wild animals, An Jiayu put a silencer on the strings.

He played "Canyou feel the love tonight" again, but this time the melody is no longer purely cheerful and enthusiastic, but deep, gentle, and full of vitality.
