It was very cold in the early morning on the grassland. Morgan and Luo Rui clung to Jasper. The three father and son were lazy and no one wanted to move. Perhaps it was a habit of cats. If he had to hunt for a living, Jasper would not feel bored if he had nothing to do all day long.
"Dad, what are you going to eat today?"
Luo Rui saw Jasper stand up and stretch his waist, and immediately squatted down in front of him with bright eyes. Regardless of his brother Morgan's contemptuous eyes, he rolled around on the grass like a coquettish girl.
Jasper couldn't help but stretched out his sinful paws and rubbed the little cheetah's soft belly. Is this really a cheetah? Isn't it really a kitten?
The playful nature of the cub was clearly exposed at this moment. While Jasper was looking deeply at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Morgan jumped on Jasper's back and stepped on it with his little paws. Luo Rui stopped rolling. Follow his brother's footsteps and climb on Jasper. The two little cheetahs are no longer the scrawny look they were when they first met Jasper. They are round and furry, which is really cute.
Jasper lay on the grass, letting the two cheetah cubs chase and play around him, and occasionally climbed on his head. Their weight was not much different from that of a domestic cat.
Half of the rainy season has passed. According to the memory received by Jasper, when the dry season comes in about three months, most herbivores will migrate. By then, hunting will be very difficult. Although cheetahs, unlike lions, do not stick to one territory, they cannot wander around at will. If they break into an unknown area and there is no defense, it is likely to be a disaster. The threat to the little cheetah is not only from predators such as lions and hyenas, but also from its own kind. Most of this delta area is the territory of the Elliot lion group. This powerful lion group not only drives other lion groups out of the delta, but also constantly hunts and drives away hyenas. As long as Rojo pays attention to avoiding the lion group, he will It's safe here. But when the dry season approaches, this security becomes uncertain. A hungry lion is not easy to deal with.
"We need to consider practical issues."
As the temperature gradually increased, Rojo left the termite mound with his two cheetah cubs.
They had some bad luck today. After walking for a long time, they still found no trace of the antelope herd. Morgan and Luo Rui were chasing and fighting all the way. The two cheetah cubs were well raised by Jasper. They believed that as long as their father was around, everything would be no problem.
Jasper was a little helpless about this. It was not a bad thing for his son to admire him, but it also made him feel a lot of pressure.
At noon, Jasper still found nothing.
The two cheetah cubs were feeling uncomfortable under the sun. Jasper led them to the shade of a tree, but found an ostrich egg on the grass in front of the shade.
By the way, this is an ostrich egg, right?
Jasper picked the egg with his paws. Morgan and Luo Rui saw an ostrich egg for the first time and they were very curious.
"Dad, what is this?"
"Ostrich egg."
"Oh." The two little cheetahs still don't know what an ostrich is, but that doesn't stop them from thinking about a more practical question, "Can it be eaten?"
"It's edible."
Jasper nodded, but he didn't want to eat. Otherwise, ostrich eggs are just too tasty. Unable to resist the shining eyes of the two little cheetahs, Jasper decided to eat.
Returning to human form again, Jasper carried the ostrich egg and walked to the shade of the tree. He picked up a stone and cracked the egg shell. Suddenly, two little cheetahs covered their noses and ran away.
Jasper grinned and waved to his son.
Morgan and Luo Rui hid in the tall grass, their little heads shaking like rattles, unwilling to come over.
Jasper was helpless. Why should a cheetah be picky about food? The big cat, which only eats fresh meat, cannot stand the smell of ostrich eggs. But it feels like a pity to throw it away like this. Jasper thought for a while, walked to a smooth stone slab not far away, looked at the sun, and tried to pour the egg liquid on the surface of the stone slab. With a squeaking sound, a burnt aroma replaced the original fishy smell. . The two little cheetahs twitched their noses, while Jasper had a dark look on his face. He just wanted to give it a try. Isn't the result too amazing? By the way, is that hanging in the sky the sun or the oven?
I wonder if cheetahs can eat cooked food?
Jasper first tore off a piece of the omelette and ate it himself. After a while, after making sure there was nothing unusual, he divided the remaining omelette between the two cheetahs. I sat on the side with my chin tilted and watched the two little guys eating without raising their heads. How different are the evolved cheetahs from the original cheetahs?
One ostrich egg obviously could not satisfy the appetite of the three father and son. Jasper decided to continue walking. He remembered that he had encountered a herd of impala not far ahead. Although the big one could not catch it, the little black one could not catch it. The goral is still no problem.
Shortly after Rojo left, two young lions came out of the grass. Due to the direction of the wind, Jasper couldn't smell the lion's scent and never noticed them.
"Brother, can you eat ostrich eggs like this?"
Reese said nothing. What he cared about was not how to eat the ostrich eggs, but whether there was an ostrich nest nearby. If he could find it, he and Tyler would be able to fill their bellies today.
Just when the young lion brothers were looking for the ostrich nest, Rojo finally got lucky. He found a lame male impala!
It is not known how the Impala was injured, but it was unable to stand still.
Jasper told Morgan and Luo Rui to lie down in the grass and make no sound. He lowered his body, stared at the prey not far away, and quietly approached it.
Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...
Finally, when the impala spotted Rojo, Rojo suddenly jumped out of the grass and pounced on the impala like an arrow from a string!
The male impala's horns and size were more than Rojo could handle, but he had other options. A paw slapped the impala's injured hind leg. When the impala fell in pain, Rojo transformed into a human, grabbed a stone, jumped on the impala's back, and hit it hard with the stone. on the impala's head.
Blood splashed onto Jasper's face, and he instinctively stuck out his tongue. The taste of warm blood made him narrow his eyes involuntarily.
At this moment, he was no longer the photographer living in a civilized world, but a beast killing lives for survival.
Finally, the Impala stopped breathing.
Jasper jumped to the ground, wiped the blood on his face with his arm, threw the stone aside, and called the two little cheetahs to come over and eat.
The impala was so big that Rojo couldn't drag it away, so they could only eat as much as they could, as much as they could.
There were already vultures circling in the sky. Rojo used his sharp claws to tear open the impala's skin and let the two cheetah cubs eat first. He stood aside, alert to enemies that might appear at any time in the sky and on land.
Morgan and Luo Rui ate the meat. Jasper took a deep breath and lay down on the ground. In this weather, he still preferred the form of a cheetah. The blood and fresh meat in his mouth stimulated his taste buds. Dylan, who was full, took Rojo's place, while Morgan arched his back and growled lowly at the gradually gathering vultures.
"Leave them alone." Jasper pressed Morgan's tail with his paw, raised his head and asked, "Son, are you full?"
"Well, I'm full."
"Where's Dylan?"
"full."
It was rare to catch such a big prey. The father and son had full stomachs after eating, and most of the impala was left.
Morgan and Luo Rui were a little reluctant to leave, and Rojo knew he had to go.
Reese and Tyler, who did not find the ostrich eggs, were not far away. Rojo saw them, but the two lions did not come over. Instead, they stopped where they were, as if they were afraid of something. Even the vultures who had been waiting for a long time seemed very uneasy.
Jasper realized that something was not right. He immediately called Morgan and Luo Rui to his side and looked around vigilantly.
There was a strange smell in the air, the smell of lion,
A muscular lion with a thick mane and golden eyes appeared in Rojo's field of vision. He walked towards here step by step. His huge body showed his fearless strength, and his dark golden mane symbolized the majesty of the king.
He is the ruler of this delta, the powerful leader of the lions, Elliot.
Rojo was instinctively afraid of this huge beast. The weight of this male lion was four or five times his.
"dad..."
Morgan and Luo Rui were afraid and wanted to hide behind Roqiao, who was a little at a loss. This male lion was different from the two young lions he had encountered before. Rojo did not have the confidence to escape easily from him.
Elliot glanced at Rojo, the two cheetah cubs, and the impala on the ground, and finally stopped at Reese and Tyler.
"Roar!"
The lion's roar resounded throughout the sky, and the young lion learned from Elliot what kingly power was. There was the same thing in their father.
Reese and Tyler instinctively showed their submission, but Elliot obviously didn't intend to let them go just like that. He started running.
The lion's mane is flying in the wind, and its muscular body shows its unparalleled momentum and strength.
Reese and Tyler had only one thought at the moment, which was to turn around and run away, which they did. Jasper took the opportunity to throw Morgan onto his back, picked up Luo Rui, and ran away in the opposite direction. But he was intercepted halfway by two lionesses.
Lioness Ryder looked curiously at the evolved male cheetah in front of her. By the way, he was male, right?
Ryder's sister Jade looked at Rojo with eyes full of hostility. Lions always reject all competitors, even a cheetah that is very different from their prey.
Just when Jade was about to pounce on Rojo, Ryder exclaimed: "He is really a male!"
Jade's feet went weak and she almost slipped to the ground.
"Of course he's a male! Where are your eyes looking?!"
"But he has two cubs with him, sister, a male cheetah with cubs! Isn't he the evolved species that Tini mentioned yesterday running naked on the grassland?"
"So what? Don't you want to kill him?"
"Yes."
Ryder nodded and showed her fangs at Rojo.
Jasper looked at the two lionesses blocking the road, compared the size of himself and the lionesses, and burst into tears again.
These days, soft girls are no longer popular, and people admire female rambos who are full of muscles.
