Chapter 0295 - Lion Hunting Pigs
The cougar's fur is generally grayish-yellow, with occasional floral colors. It reaches a length of almost two meters, a drooping tail of about one meter, a large, round head, and a short snout. Its body shape is very graceful, its physique is very strong, and its weight is estimated to be at least one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, obviously this is an adult male lion.
It hides in the grass, its eyes blazing, staring ahead.
In the first two hundred meters, there were more than 20 cows, sheep and pigs grazing leisurely, including the cubs, who were so happy to eat that they lurked behind without knowing the great danger.
Two hundred meters further on, there were two ranch workers, sitting on a slope, each holding a shotgun, talking and laughing, two horses grazing beside them, and two cattle dogs lying there napping.
The cougar's delay in taking action was due to the concern of the two ranch workers.
"This guy is really big." In the helicopter, Butney took off her goggles, squinted her eyes and looked down, and then said to Xu Xiaoyu: "Boss, the character of the cougar is actually very docile, and many people keep them as pets. If you feed your family from an early age, you will be able to live peacefully with other pets in the family when you grow up, and you will be able to take care of your home faithfully like a dog. In many places, people call the cougar a 'friend of mankind'. ”
"Oh, the famous cougar, it turns out that there is such a side." Xu Xiaoyu heard about it for the first time, and couldn't help but nodded, secretly thinking that if he got a cougar cub and raised it, he could really use Nini and Tsai as a mount. It is said that Wangcai and Laifu are limited in size, and they are not very comfortable to ride, think about how comfortable it should be to ride this huge cougar.
"Yes, boss." "Pumas feed on wild animals and rarely steal human livestock unless they are too hungry to do so," Butney said. The area around the Tianshan Mountains is barren and lacks vegetation, and there are few hares and deer to live. The cougar probably didn't find its prey for a few days, and it was hungry before sneaking into the pasture. ”
"Butney, you know quite a bit." Xu Xiaoyu praised.
"When I was a kid, my family lived in the woods, and many wild animals made friends with me, including a cougar. That guy was very well-behaved, listened to me, and rode me to school a lot. But when I got to the edge of the woods, it would let me down and go back to the depths of the woods alone. ”
A peaceful smile appeared on Butney's wheat-colored cheeks, as if reminiscing about her childhood, and gradually became a little sad: "My parents never knew about me being friends with it. Then one time, I was playing alone in front of the house, and it came from the woods and happened to be seen by my father. Frightened, he ran into the house, got a shotgun, and shot at it. ”
Butney's expression grew sad: "That shot hit it in the thigh, and it dragged its bloody leg away...... I was so angry that I ignored my dad for half a month...... Since then, it has never appeared, but it often appears in my dreams, frolicking with me, and sending me to school. ”
"I really didn't expect you to have such a childhood past." Xu Xiaoyu sketched that picture in his mind, feeling very warm and a little sad.
Butney took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, looked at Xu Xiaoyu and said, "This is also the reason why I agreed with my previous boss to come to work with you." I love animals, especially lions. I hope that if I have the opportunity, I can continue the relationship I had when I was a child. ”
She paused, looked down again, and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with that guy?" ”
"We have an old Chinese saying that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult." Xu Xiaoyu smiled: "Since you have that wish, then I will help you realize it." ”
"Really, boss?" Butney was overjoyed, and quickly shook her head again: "The guy below is an adult, there is no possibility of taming, and it is not easy to capture it alive, the cougar is very alert, so the boss ......"
"It's okay, I have a way." Xu Xiaoyu smiled slightly.
"What's the solution?" Butney was delighted and intrigued.
"I won't tell you yet, you'll find out later." Xu Xiaoyu was mysterious, and when he was about to control the helicopter to land a little farther away, the situation below changed.
He didn't rush to land, leaving the helicopter in suspense in mid-air and admiring it with interest.
On the ground, the two workers looked at the watches on their wrists, presumably to do something else, chatted a few words, and then rode away.
The two napping cattle dogs lay still, and their job was to take care of the cattle and sheep, but the cougar didn't pay attention to them at all.
Seeing that the two biggest threats were gone, it stood up on its stomach for a long time, its eyes became brighter, it stretched out its tongue and licked its lips, then looked up at the helicopter in mid-air vigilantly, and after a little hesitation, it decisively began to act.
The cougar composed himself slightly, held his breath, moved his limbs, and with a slight and dexterous touch, under the cover of the dense pasture, slowly touched the nearest piglet and a half.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters......
Closer, closer, closer and closer, and soon there was only twenty meters left......
The cougar moved stealthily and well disguised, and even when it was so close, the half-grown piglet, and the other animals nearby, were unaware.
"It's coming! This piglet will be its prey. ”
Butney's eyes were tight, following the cougar, her pink fist clenched, looking a little excited and nervous, as if she was hunting.
The cougar finally stopped when it was about ten meters away from the half-sized piglet, it was very alert, poked its neck, looked around left and right, and then looked at the helicopter, and felt that nothing could pose much of a threat to it, so it officially attacked!
Sou!
Its powerful hind legs kicked violently, and its sturdy body suddenly lunged forward like an arrow from a string. Its speed is fast, its body is carrying a strong wind, the tiger is loud, murderous, and the momentum is extremely strong.
Its sudden slaughter finally alarmed the grazing livestock, and all the cattle, sheep and pigs reacted in a surprising unanimous manner, first stunned, and then fled wildly with their feet scattered, only hating their parents for giving them two legs less.
The half-large piglet that was targeted by the cougar reacted in the same way, but the speed of the cougar was so swift that it only ran three or four steps before leaping into the air and culling. rs
