Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 549: The Lowest Combat Unit: Tiger Cub

The two little ones were finally brought back by the young tiger.

The eldest tiger shook off the water on her body, found a rock to lie down on and began to lick her fur, while the eldest tiger cub surrounded the young tiger and made a fuss about asking for food.

"There is food. There are lots of rabbits and pheasants over there. Go catch them yourself."

The older tiger cub looked at the younger tiger in shock, "Meow! Do I have to catch it myself?"

"Yeah, your sister can do it, but you can't?"

The disappointed young tiger glared at the older tiger cub and growled, "Go now, or you'll have to hunt on your own in the future."

The tiger cub shrank back, tears welling up in his eyes.

It turned its head and looked around. Its mother was not there, and neither were the two-legged beasts. Woo woo┭┮﹏┭┮
After fiddling with the four short legs for three hours, I was so tired that my tongue hung out, and I didn't even touch a single rabbit hair.

Instead, the two tiger cubs worked together to hunt a half-grown rabbit.

"Sister, will it really starve to death?" While eating and looking at her brother, Tiger Little Sister felt that the bones in her mouth were a little difficult to chew.

"Eat it first, and leave some for it so it won't be too hungry to go back."

Tiger sister was quick and had eaten two-thirds of her share. With only a little meat left, she quietly hid in the bushes.

Seeing her sister's actions, Tiger Little Sister sped up and finished about one-third of the meat. Then she hid it not far from her sister's remaining meat.

After eating and resting for a while, the eldest tiger sister began to sleep in the sun on the rock as usual, while the youngest tiger sister was eager to move towards the pond.

The tiger cub lay dejectedly by the water, drinking a sip of water from time to time to comfort his hungry stomach.

After swimming around it twice, the little tiger sister came to her brother and called out softly twice. The two little ones looked up quietly at the young tiger.

The young tiger lying on the high place was well aware of the little actions of the two little sisters, but he did not stop them from feeding his brother. He just secretly decided that if the big tiger cub continued to rely on his sister, he would no longer care about it in the future.

The tiger cub doesn't know what he will face yet. After getting a hint from his sister, he quietly lurks in the bushes and can finally fill his stomach a little.

The hare, which was not big to begin with, was divided into three parts, which was really only enough to fill the stomach slightly. Moreover, after eating it, the tiger cub felt even hungrier. The tiger cub was so hungry that his eyes turned green, and he even licked the blood off the grass leaves.

This action made the tiger sister, who was lying in the sun nearby, widen her eyes. She even considered whether she should cooperate with her sister again to catch a bigger prey to feed her brother.

Fortunately, before it could take action, the young tiger jumped down from its high place and walked into the woods. After a while, it dragged a prey over, signaling the two little female tigers that they could come over for dinner.

The young male tiger rushed forward first, but was pinned to the ground by the young tiger's claw halfway.

"You, eat last."

"Why, why?"

"You can't even catch prey, and you still have the nerve to eat?"

The tiger cub finally couldn't hold back his tears.

The two tiger cubs looked at each other and obediently went over to bite the prey brought back by their uncle.

The most tender meat on a young muntjac was naturally shared by the two young female tigers. They could not eat the rest of the meat, so they stepped aside, called softly to the young tiger, and began to tidy up their hair that was dirty from eating.

After confirming that the two young female tigers really did not want to eat, the young tiger loosened its claws and let the older cub eat.

The tiger cub cried as he ate voraciously, swallowing the meat without even chewing it.

After eating for a while, it was picked up by the young tiger and taken away, "You can't eat anymore. Your stomach can't hold it."

"No, I can still eat!" The big tiger cub scratched with his four claws and successfully tore off a piece of meat. As soon as he was put on the ground, he quickly stuffed the meat into his mouth, for fear that the young tiger would throw it away.

In the distance, a drone captured all of this. Chen Ying and Xia Sen, who were in charge of operating the drone, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the methodical way that young Tiger took care of the baby.

They had been worried about whether the young tiger could complete the task of raising babies. Now it seems that even if there are some flaws, it is more suitable for them to teach.

As for Bai Bingyang... forget it, this guy is beyond help.

Bai Bingyang was very happy living in the mountains. He ate on time every day, slept when he wanted to, and went out for a walk when he wanted to.

But what it likes most is to sleep on the high platform in the activity area of ​​the first aid station. It can see the two-legged animals when it opens its eyes. It is so happy!

The young tiger did not take the cubs out for training every day. After all, they were still young, and the temperature dropped sharply. It was not a mother tiger and was not used to sleeping with its cubs in its arms.

Although they didn't go out for training for two consecutive days, the two sisters did not relax their requirements on themselves.

When Uncle Tiger didn't come, the two of them would go to the woods behind to practice ambushes every day. Uncle Tiger said that their bodies were not as strong as the male tigers, and they would have to take on the responsibility of raising cubs in the future, so when hunting, they had to protect themselves and do it in a way that saved effort.

Ambush is the most labor-saving hunting method and the best method chosen by most cats.

The grass in the woods was not very deep, so it was not a good place to practice ambushes. But relatively speaking, the tiger cubs were not very tall either, so it was just right for them to practice now.

For standard ambush hiding, the front half of the body should be lower than the back half, and preferably the height should not exceed fifteen centimeters.

Among the three little tigers, the two female tigers can hide perfectly as required, but the eldest tiger cub cannot. It seems that its brain is underdeveloped and its cerebellum is completely undeveloped. Once the front half of its body lies down, its buttocks will stick up high, and it will even stand its pretty little tail in the air when it gets excited.

Not to mention the young tiger, even Chen Ying and the others couldn't help but feel the veins on their foreheads twitching when they saw this action.

Big sister Tiger didn't care, but little sister Tiger became inexplicably anxious.

"Sister, what should I do? Will my brother be able to support himself in the future?"

"It's okay. At worst, I can just be like my mom and let the two-legged beast raise me." Tiger sister is a typical person who doesn't like to talk, but she gets straight to the point when she opens her mouth.

Little Tiger sister lay down, exhaled softly, and felt that what her sister said was right. If it doesn't work out, she can go to the two-legged beasts. Her mother is living a good life there too.

In fact, it wanted to be raised by the bipeds like its mother, but Aunt Leopard said that the mountain could only support one tiger, and if it wanted to stay, its mother would be sent away. The place it went to was not as good as this place. It was a huge iron cage with many tigers that couldn't hunt like them. They would fight to the death for a bite of meat.

Tiger Little Sister shuddered when she heard this, thinking of how weak, pitiful and helpless her mother was. If there were no two-legged beasts to protect her, she would definitely not be able to save her brain! o(╥﹏╥)o
Thinking of this, Tiger Little Sister's fur suddenly stood up again.

"Sister, sister, Auntie Bao said there can only be one Tiger Tiger here. If brother stays, what will mom do?"

The two little ones looked at each other, and even Tiger Sister became nervous.

"No, brother must learn how to hunt! For the sake of its brains, he must learn it even if he doesn't know how!" Tiger sister's eyes flashed, and she didn't want to sleep anymore.

The tiger cub, who had a rare two-day rest and could eat self-provided food, suddenly woke up from his sleep, his fur stood up, and he turned over vigilantly and looked around.

"Well, who is it, who wants to steal my meat?"

It locked its little paws together, pressed its body against the ground, and hid the leftover chicken bones from lunch under its belly.

While the tiger cubs were hiding from the wind and snow at the first aid station, Xiaobao and Beibei took the five leopard cubs to hide in the crevice of the rocks west of Laoxionggou. After they woke up from their good sleep, they planned to go find something to eat.

The five leopard cubs have also begun learning to hunt. Their practice targets are also rabbits and pheasants. Occasionally, they will climb up trees and ambush passing squirrels.

The five cubs were divided into two groups. Three little male leopards formed a brother alliance and targeted a nearby rabbit nest.

The two little female leopards formed a sister alliance and prepared to cause trouble to the pheasants on the other side of the bushes.

Xiaobao stayed to watch his sons hunting, while Beibei accompanied the two daughters to catch chickens.

It would not take action. When it was about to approach the chicken coop, it would jump onto a tree, lie down, and watch the girls' actions.

The two young female leopards were standing on the left and right, crouching their bodies and slowly approaching a nest of pheasants in the bushes.

There were about five or six of them, all of which were not very big. In the eyes of the two little female leopards, they were just walking chicken legs.

After they got close, they did not run away impulsively, but looked for opportunities patiently, striving to succeed in one go.

Mom said that they are not physically strong enough and if they are too impulsive, they will waste a lot of energy and end up not catching a single chicken feather.

Although the two little female leopards are usually very noisy, they are surprisingly patient when hunting.

A half-grown pheasant with gray feathers lowered its head and scratched the grass with its claws. The thin snow had almost melted long ago, so it was easy to scratch out the grass seeds and stems.

Now is the time to start!
The two sisters pounced on the pheasant in tacit understanding, one biting its neck and the other biting its wings, and they cooperated perfectly to bite off the chicken's neck.

The pheasants were frightened by the sudden appearance of the little leopard and flew around in panic. One of them, perhaps because it slipped or wanted to avenge its dead sister, pounced towards the little female leopard.

How could they let go of the meat that was right in their mouths? The two little female leopards dodged one after another, and then the younger leopard used her older sister's body to twist in the air and successfully pounced on the pheasant's back. Her tender claws firmly grasped the back of the pheasant's neck, and she opened her mouth and bit the chicken's neck rudely.

It didn't have enough strength, and at this time sister Leopard pounced over and helped her sister to knock down the pheasant, while also biting the pheasant's throat.

There was actually a certain amount of luck involved in this hunt. After all, at their current age, the leopard cubs have just begun to learn how to hunt, and even though leopards have lived independently earlier than tigers, it is still quite difficult to successfully capture pheasants.

Of course, in addition to luck, their success is also mainly due to their strong genes and outstanding strength. Didn’t you see the male tiger cub next door, who is still licking his big face and begging for food from humans?

The two female leopards each held their own prey in their mouths and returned to the crevice with their heads held high.
