The herd of gazelles, which were grazing leisurely, was apparently unaware of the danger.

An Feng observed through the scope of a sniper rifle that the gazelle was a medium-sized animal, with a light brown body, but a distinctly white abdomen, a pair of long sharp horns on the top of its head, and an aggressive personality. The lions surrounded outside, and two gazelles were fighting with their heads, and they were not vigilant.

Darwin's voice rang out: "The lion pack is the Victor family, and the lioness who took the lead recently gave birth to three cubs and has been looking for food nearby...... The hyenas also approached, and they looked hungry and might snatch the lion's prey, or they might act on their own. ”

An Feng looked at the hyena group in the distance, he had heard of the hyena for a long time, their reputation was not very good, a symbol of greed and laziness, specializing in snatching the prey of lions and leopards, and getting it for nothing. But there are also people who justify them, hyenas also take the initiative to hunt, and even take down bison.

"Oh, look! The lions have moved! ”

As the voice fell, everyone's eyes focused on the lions, and three lionesses rushed out of the grass to chase the gazelles immersed in grazing and fighting. The appearance of the lion suddenly made this group of creatures like frightened birds, and their four legs were scattered in the blink of an eye as if they were loaded with springs.

The three lionesses were in hot pursuit, and soon, they locked onto one of the gazelles! Its body is very flexible, jumping left and right, never walking in a straight line, the first chasing lioness is not as flexible as it, pounced, but the cooperation of the lion group is very tacit, the second lioness is outflanked next to it, the gazelle dodged to avoid the lion's bloody mouth, but was slapped down by the lioness chasing from the other direction, biting the neck, and there was no sound in a few seconds.

"Wonderful!" Everyone's voices were heard on the radio.

The hunt took a very short time, but it was a classic.

After the lion bites off the throat of its prey, it begins to share in the delicious food. In addition to the panicked gazelles around, the circle of hyenas outside also slowly arrived. The hyena made a terrible sound from its mouth, like a hysterical laugh of a man, and when it reached the side of the lions, they raised their heads vigilantly.

At this time, the hyena pack picked up speed. The lions are faced with a choice: fight or retreat. And the number of hyenas is at least twenty, although the lion is mighty, the front single hyena is basically one bite, but three lions can only be a shrunken turtle in the face of twenty hyenas.

The lioness were not reconciled, perhaps hungry these days, and took a few more bites of food, and then let out a roar to scare off the hyenas. But hyenas are used to this land after all. Born to like to bully, there is prey, and there are few opponents, isn't this an opportunity?

When the hyenas approached, the three lioness circled around their prey, using their voices and short sprints to drive away the hyenas, and for a short time the hyenas hesitated. But soon, the taste of the food stimulates them. Having gained courage, the hyenas began to meet the lions in pairs.

Once the hyenas cooperated, the lions were really invincible, and it didn't take long for them to retreat, unwillingly standing aside, watching their prey being shared. There was also a lion when he was driving away the hyenas just now. I was bitten in the leg, and now I'm lying on the ground panting, very angry.

"The lions are so pitiful!" Joanna said.

An Feng can't deny: "It is the rule of nature that the weak eat the strong, when the lions are full, the hyenas are also in a desperate situation of starving to death one after another." ”

"Yes." She nodded. "But I still sympathize with them."

"That is, if you are compassionate, you are a normal person." An Feng said with a smile.

Perhaps it was the sympathy of the people at work, Darwin said: "Based on the recent activity of the lions, they have been facing food shortages, and the hunting team has one less lioness and more hyenas, so it would be good for you to intervene in this matter if you can." ”

Although it is said that the laws of nature, it is better for humans not to interfere in the destruction, but the poaching of lions has long broken the rules, and the surplus of hyenas is evidence, when the animal expert also said so, Bazel's voice came: "Leave half!" Listen to me when you're ready! ”

"No problem." An Feng picked up the sniper rifle, adjusted the magnification of the scope, the gun was mounted on the roof of the car, and he observed that the group of hyenas competing for food gazelles, so many of them, only one gazelle, I am afraid it is not enough to eat...... Joanna next to her also set up a gun.

An Feng glanced at her and said to the communicator: "No. 3 is ready!" ”

"Roger!" Bazel, like an army commander, spoke decisively: "All units are ready, now they can shoot freely!" ”

The sound fell, a banging gunfire rang out, An Feng pulled the trigger, and a spotted hyena in the scope was knocked over, and the blood on his body soared several meters away, and he couldn't get up again. He reacted quickly, and after firing a shot, he pulled the bolt to reload the cartridge case, and with one shot, he rolled another hyena that was running in a hurry, but it was still able to get up and struggle, and An Feng shot through its body again.

After the second hyena fell to the ground, An Feng wanted to continue looking for other prey, but they were all gone, followed by everyone's report on the radio, An Feng reacted quickly and shot two prey, Joanna one, and the others added up to eight, which was less than the expected ten.

After the hyenas were beaten away, the lions apparently got their chance, and despite the threat of gunfire, hunger drove them forward and bit their prey again, this time not eating where they were, intending to drag them back. According to Darwin, they still have their cubs waiting for food at home.

Everyone put down their guns, changed to a telephoto lens, and took pictures of the backs of the lions.

"Good start, let's keep going, keep up with the lions, and see their families and cubs," Bazel said. ”

The convoy started and continued on its way.

There is no road in the direction of the lions, and there are a lot of stones, which is an extreme test of the vehicle's off-road ability, and it is estimated that it is not scraping the chassis or sinking into the stone pile, and the Wrangler is still easily passing through the obstacles, keeping a distance and following the lions who drag food away.

They followed and patted all the way, with a few vultures hovering overhead.

Joanna looked at the sky: "Does this mean that there are abandoned corpses nearby?" ”

"Maybe." An Feng glanced at it a few times, and the place where the vultures hovered was usually the prey that was ready to fall, or was being shared by the hunter.

They followed them to a pond where the rainwater had accumulated, where the lion's family lived.

The convoy stopped, getting too close would disturb them, and everyone picked up the binoculars. Observe the lions from a distance. There is also a lazy male lion in the lion pack, its large and thick mane is very conspicuous, and when the food comes up, he will come up to enjoy it domineeringly, and there are two or three cute little ones around.

Darwin's muttering spread over the radio: "Strange, where is Shirley, another lioness?" Let's get closer. Look in the other direction. ”

The convoy approached slowly, changed to the side of the lions, without the cover of vegetation, and finally saw the scene of the lions enjoying their food, the male and female lionesses were tearing at the carcass of their prey, chewing heavily, blood splattering, and the lion cubs gathered around, occasionally getting a piece or two of meat. It's a lot of fun.

"I saw it!" Darwin's voice became sharper, "Even-boned Karma!" Shirley was lying and it was injured...... It's a trapper! ”

The convoy was only three or four hundred meters away from the lion's family, and when he set up the telescope, it was like happening in front of him, and An Feng observed that the lion that Darwin said was a female lioness with brown hair. But the neck is blood-red, and the flesh turned out is very obvious...... Even hideous.

Its neck was tightly strangled by a hunting weapon. Stuck in the flesh, the skin is long gone, the red flesh of the neck is turned out, and there are even flies crawling on it. The lioness lay weakly, exhausted, and her apricot eyes were full of despair. Not to mention eating, I'm afraid it's even difficult to breathe.

"Let's help him!" Catherine and the others in the team had this idea.

Darwin said: "There are lions all around, we don't have enough tranquilizer guns, and the lions will attack us!" ”

"What then?" Joanna asked.

"Let's see, let's find a way to get rid of the lion!" Darwin said.

"You're ready for the tranquilizer gun. Wait until they're full before shooting and expelling! "Matthew, pay attention to the lions, we are faced with two situations, the lions leave or the enraged lions attack us, don't look at the bullets in your hands, the lions will not be afraid!" ”

An Feng watched the video, a group of hunters went to hunt the lioness, but was chased by the male lion, it was shot several times, but still rushed to the crowd and knocked the hunter down, but unfortunately lost the head, otherwise a slap or bite would be enough for the hunter to die. So lazy male lions are the most dangerous.

Patiently, Shirley's tragic situation won everyone's sympathy and anger at the poachers, and due to the drastic decline of wild tigers, hunters set their sights on lions, and the price of their bones increased tenfold in just ten years, attracting profitable poachers.

The lions finally had their full meal, Bazel asked everyone to fire into the sky, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the lions, and in the confrontation, they continued to shoot, maybe they couldn't run or something else, the male lion let out a few very domineering roars, and left with his lions, and Shirley also got up with difficulty and followed behind.

"Good chance!"

The vehicle caught up and within the effective range of the tranquilizer gun, a shot was struck in Shirley's ass, and the guy struggled a few times and fainted to the ground.

Everyone stared at the lions that were far away, and after confirming that it was safe, some people were left in the car, and the rest got out of the car.

Darwin took a first-aid kit and came to Shirley to observe, when everyone looked at its neck closely, the contracted iron cable had sunk into the muscle, Darwin could not find a way to cut it, and even the wound was already infected, even if it was cut, it would not escape death.

Everyone has tried many ways, but in the end, they can only face the end of weakness, and the lioness will die of two situations: infection or starvation. It was so badly injured that it couldn't eat even if it could withstand the infection. Looking at the skinny appearance, it can last for a day or two at most.

"Damn poachers!" Catherine said.

Darwin shook his head and looked up at everyone, "Maybe we can make it easier." ”

"Shoot?" An Feng asked, and everyone nodded.

An Feng looked at the miserable appearance of the lioness, being alive is also a kind of torture, it is better to give it a quiet pleasure.

"So be it." Bazel turned his head and said, "Matthew, bring the camera, record the environment and time, and prepare to report it later." ”

"I don't want to see it." Catherine turned away.

An Feng stayed where he was and watched, and under the narration of the camera and Darwin, everyone ended its life.

After the gunshots, there was a sense of regret, and he returned the same way relatively wordlessly. An Feng looked up at the sky, the vultures were still circling, thinking that they were aiming at the lioness here, but no, they were in the wrong position. An Feng called Darwin in front: "Do you see where the vultures are going to move?" ”

Darwin looked at the sky and pointed to a sparse grove in front of him: "That direction!" ”

"Where there are vultures, it means death, and recently there may be poachers here, so let's go along and see if we can find something else," Bazel said. (To be continued......)
