After the convoy stopped, Xia Lier first said hello to the colleagues in the other two cars, and then came back and took out the camera to start shooting, explaining to Xia Wencai and them while shooting. w?

Xia Lier said that they have been observing these three cheetahs for a year, and they have been tracking and shooting since the birth of the cheetah, and the female cheetah is called Maya, and it is the first time to be a mother, but it has done a good job, and it has survived with this pair of two daughters in a harsh environment.

You must know that the survival rate of cheetah cubs is extremely low, female cheetahs they live alone, unlike lions can hunt in batches, when the mother hunts, you can let the baby's aunts take it first, when they leave the hunt, the cheetah cubs only hide by themselves and wait for the return of their mothers, but often they wait for not the mother cheetah, but other predators, the most notorious of which is the hyena, they are the cubs of any beast like to steal.

And Maya, the mother, is obviously very conscientious and protects them well, and now that the children are sub-adults, they have a better chance of survival.

After they observed for a while, Maya began to move, and the reason why she sat on the anthill was because of the high terrain here, after all, it was good for observing prey, and now it was obvious that she had found her target.

"You see, Maya's target is the gazelles, which are their staple food, and they generally don't prey on prey that are too large, which is also limited by their physical condition!" Charlier explained as she filmed. Maya first came to the long grass, and began to use the grass to cover her crawling forward, while her daughter obediently watched her mother's every move from a distance, learning her mother's hunting skills.

At the moment when Maya attacked, Xia Wencai and others held high-powered binoculars, and for the first time clearly felt the strength and beauty of the cheetah when running, and the body structure suitable for running made them have unparalleled speed. In the past, it didn't feel so intuitive when I watched it on TV, but now it feels different when I watch it in person, after the cheetah accelerates, it feels like it's running, it's like flying, and the feet are lightly on the ground and jumps out of a distance of ten meters, Xia Wencai finally understands what it's like to break through the white kilometer per hour on foot. Lightning-fast is the best way to describe a cheetah.

After only about ten seconds of chase, Maya caught up with a gazelle, flicked the hind legs of the gazelle with her front paws, and it fell to the drop, Maya immediately pounced on it and bit its neck tightly, and soon the gazelle suffocated to death.

Xia Wencai also knows that cheetahs are the predators with the highest success rate in Africa, with a success rate of about 50 percent, while the success rate of lions is only 25 percent. `

"Unlucky Maya, it looks like their family is going hungry today." Xia Wencai and the others were originally discussing the wonderful process just now. Xia Lier's words shocked them.

Turning his head, he saw Xia Lier pointing to a place, Xia Wencai and the others turned their heads to look, and a hyena was dragging its funny big belly and running quickly.

"It's just a hyena, can't Maya beat it?" Bai Qiuyu, who was completely white in this regard, asked curiously.

Xia Lier said as she continued to shoot: "There is nothing a hyena can do with a cheetah, but they are used to fighting more and less, you see. It is calling out to its companions. ”

The hyena's barking sounded a little ridiculous to Lin Xiaowan and others, "quacking". Not at all like canine sounds, they sometimes make sounds that resemble human laughter.

However, Maya did not sound ridiculous at all, and after intimidating the hyena, it quickly tore into the belly of the dead gazelle, and soon chewed on a mouthful full of blood. Now it's only one of them, it's obviously a little cowardly, and he didn't mess with Maya, but was very anxious to scream and circle around Maya.

Xia Wencai and the others watched it funny, although they didn't understand animal language, they could roughly understand what this hyena was roaring. It must be saying at this time: "Brothers, why don't you come to help, the food will be eaten up in a while!"

"Hehe, this girl Maya is much smarter now, and she is much braver, and she knows how to buy time to eat, and she used to give up her prey and leave as soon as it encountered such a situation." Xia Lier said with a little relief.

But the good times didn't last long, Maya hadn't eaten two bites, and two hyenas ran over all the way "coo-wah-wah" all the way, Maya saw this, and immediately gave up the prey and left, and the hyenas didn't chase, they were just for food, and they couldn't catch up with the speed of the cheetah.

After seeing Maya go back and leave with two children with dry stomachs with a depressed face, Lin Xiaowan and Bai Qiuyu were quite angry at the hyena's banditry behavior, and they snatched the prey that people had worked so hard to kill, and confirmed that it made people angry at first sight.

Although Xia Lier is also very sympathetic to the Mayan family, she doesn't care about it, she has already seen such a scene, this is also the law of survival in this land, cheetahs have skilled hunting skills, it is relatively easy to get prey, and hyenas They work as a team to get prey, all for survival.

However, the main reason why hyenas are not likable may be such a hard-earned character, they usually have a large team, and they can hunt large animals on their own, but they prefer to be robbers.

Some people say that they are saving their bodies, in order to get prey more easily and safer, because they may die when they hunt large prey, don't think that herbivores are easy to bully, they can really kick people to death.

However, there are also people who oppose this point of view, thinking that robbers are just their nature, you must know that they often go to grab food with the lions, this behavior is not safe at all, the lioness is good to say, they are not much different in size, not much danger, but the lion group has a male lion in charge, the lioness generally can't beat them will call their husbands to help, and there are many hyenas who die under the mouth of the male lion every year.

Of course, injured or lone lionesses are often killed by them, and although the animals in the African savannah are more or less frictional, only lions and hyenas are the biggest enemies, and they want to kill each other when they meet.

Xia Wencai watched a video last year, the scene was indeed a bit weird, a hyena actually held the lion head of a dead lioness, and made a special trip to the lions to show off his might to intimidate them, it was really strange, and how much hatred it had to be to do this, this hyena is really IQ!

Bell and the others next to him were also watching with binoculars, and kept explaining to Fan Bingxu and others, Xia Wencai obviously saw that when Maya was robbed, the mouths of the two girls were also raised high, and it seemed that they were also very uneasy about this! (To be continued.) )
