Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Wolf Cub
Every time the wolf dog brothers meet the wolf king, they are all enemies who are very red-eyed when they meet, as the same species in the past, but now the two sides don't like each other, and every time they meet, they roar violently through the cage.
Needless to say, Su Ming can guess the reason.
The wolf king probably thinks that you guys have long given up the glory of your ancestors and become shameless domestic dogs who kneel and lick for humans, and dare to dangle in front of me, which is simply shameless to the extreme!
And it seems to the wolf dog brothers, no matter how much you are bull, you are not trapped in a cage, the daffodils do not bloom, what garlic do you pretend!
But the wife of the wolf king, who was about to give birth to a baby, had a very good attitude towards the two wolf dogs, which made Su Ming feel very sorry for the wolf king.
"Xiao Su, hurry up, hurry up, the she-wolf has a cub, you have to go!" Early in the morning of Tuesday morning, Master Peng hurriedly called Su Ming out of the water pavilion and dragged him towards the wolf house.
Master Peng's original intention was to hope that when the wolf cub was born, Su Ming would be on the side, and the first thing the wolf cub saw after birth was Su Ming, so he would naturally have a sense of closeness to Su Ming, and it would be convenient to raise and manage it in the future.
Master Peng was well-intentioned, but Su Ming always felt that his words were strange.
Why do I have to go when the she-wolf gives birth? Although Lao Tzu is a bigmonster, the she-wolf's cub really has nothing to do with me!
said so, but when he heard that the she-wolf had given birth, Su Ming was still quite happy.
His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is finally liberated, and he will never have to look at the stinky face of the wolf pregnant woman in the future!
is also liberated, and the wolf king, during this time, it has suffered a lot.
Strange to say, the wolves in the zoo are probably raised to lack some wildness, and their temperament and habits are different from those in the wild.
The wolf attaches great importance to the cubs and is also very loyal to his partner, but he has never heard of the male wolf will also 'love the house and black' of the pregnant female wolf, during the period when the female wolf is pregnant, the temper is quite bad, and the wolf king's nose is not a nose and a face every day, the wolf king actually endured it all, there is no domineering of the king at all, and he looks like an angry little man, Su Ming feels very pitiful when he looks at it.
The time of pregnancy of female wolves is also different from that of wolves in the wild, and most wolves in the wild give birth in spring.
In the spring, everything recovers, all kinds of animals are not in their peak state because they are hungry for a winter, and they are anxious to find food, and their vigilance is greatly reduced, which is convenient for the she-wolf to prey, and the she-wolf has enough food to produce a large amount of milk and feed the little wolf cubs.
The wolves in the zoo have no food concerns, and although they can't eat well, they can still be 'full', so even the time to give their cubs has changed, sometimes in summer, sometimes in autumn.
What's even more strange is that there are at least three or four female wolves in a litter, but this she-wolf in the zoo actually gave birth to only one wolf cub! It made everyone very baffled.
Nine dogs and a mastiff, the only one is the most ferocious, and I don't know if this only little wolf cub will also become the strongest wolf when he grows up.
Anyway, it's a good thing for everyone to finally give birth.
The weather was too hot, and the she-wolf became pregnant again, so the zoo invested heavily in installing a glass house and air conditioning in the wolf house.
Looking through the transparent glass, the wolf king sat quietly in the cage, looking around with some vigilance from time to time, the she-wolf was lying in the wolf's den, giving birth to her tongue and constantly licking a large piece of something like a placenta.
It does not want to eat the placenta, but to lick the smell of blood from the placenta to avoid attracting other carnivores and threatening the newborn cubs. Although some of the wolves in the zoo have changed their habits, most of their nature remains in their bones.
Beside the she-wolf, there was a little wolf cub with gray fur and black wolf hair, and it drilled into the bosom of the she-wolf vigorously.
Yuan Song lay on the railing next to the wolf house, leaned forward, squinted at the she-wolf and the little wolf for a while, and said: "The wolf king and his wife are both old wolves, and the she-wolf is two years older than the wolf king, and it is estimated that there is no milk, Lao Peng, you go in with me and take the little wolf out to feed." ”
The lifespan of the steppe wolf is generally only 12-16 years, and the wolf king and his wife were already ten years old when they came to the zoo, and lived here for two years.
"I'll do it!" Su Ming hurriedly persuaded Director Song and Master Peng.
The wolf is very aggressive, and the female wolf is in a sensitive period in order to protect the wolf, and it is extremely dangerous to approach the wolf cub at this time, although the zoo has a set of protective measures, it does not mean that it is 100% safe.
Others go, even if they can ensure people's safety, it is easy to frighten the she-wolf who has just given birth, in case there is some postpartum depression or something like that.
Director Song looked at Su Ming, nodded, and then motioned to Master Peng to give the bottle to Su Ming, and patted Su Ming on the shoulder: "Pay attention to safety!" ”
Su Ming carried the bottle, detoured behind the wolf house, opened the iron door, and got in through the keeper's passage.
Similar to the internal structure of Bear Mountain, the keeper's passage behind the wolf house and the wolf house are separated by an iron fence, the she-wolf is lying not far from the iron fence, and Su Ming squatts on the edge of the fence, reaching out to touch the wolf cubs.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, the she-wolf who was lying on her stomach was like an electric shock, and she jumped up at once, and the wolf howl on her neck exploded, blocking the little wolf with her body, grinning and baring her fangs and letting out a low roar.
“easy!” Su Ming released a spiritual power and shook the bottle at the she-wolf.
The she-wolf smelled the familiar smell on Su Ming's body, so she let down her guard and lay down next to the wolf cub again.
When he got closer, Su Ming saw those wolf cubs clearly, the little wolf cubs were slightly bigger than the palm, and the eyes were covered with a thin gray membrane, blue and full of moisture, and the pupils were already black.
Seeing the living person come in, the little guy who was still drilling hard into the arms of the she-wolf just now, his tail and limbs suddenly straightened, his body was crooked, his little head was facing down, and he fell to the ground with a poof, his eyes were closed, and his body became very stiff and motionless.
It seemed that the little wolf cub seemed to have been frightened by Su Ming into having a heart attack and died suddenly.
"The acting is too pompous!" Su Ming almost laughed, the little wolf cub didn't know him, he was pretending to be dead.
So he released a faint spiritual power and tentatively walked towards the little wolf cub.
The newly born wolf cub has a natural sensitivity to spiritual power, and as soon as it touches the spiritual power, it immediately notices that the 'big guy' in front of him is not hostile, on the contrary, there is a feeling that makes them feel very attached.
The little wolf cub took off his guard at this time, opened his eyes a little, looked at Su Ming curiously, then shook his head and struggled to get up.
It stretched out its little claws and waved them a few times in the air, as if trying to grab the 'spiritual power', but it threw itself into the air, lost its balance, and fell again.
