54. Victoria's Secret (xiv)
At this time, because the little white rhino was born for a few months, it was the age when he was curious about everything.
The female white rhinoceros lies on her side under the tree to enjoy the shade, while the little white rhino looks around.
"Moo~"
The little white rhino spotted Yang Wu, turned around and barked at the female white rhino, and then turned to stare at Yang Wu nervously.
The female white rhino was agitated and immediately stood up.
"Moo!~"
The female white rhino's cry was much more powerful than that of the little white rhino, and it shrugged the horns on its head, and its eyes stared at Yang Wu deadly, as if it was something about Yang Wu, and if he made any abnormal moves, he would attack.
When Yang Wu saw that the white rhino mother and son had discovered him, he stopped looking at them, since he didn't treat them as prey, there was no need to provoke them.
He looked ahead, and the empty prairie was unobstructed, there were no animals in front of him, and the weather was so hot that the animals might be taking a dip under the trees.
So he changed direction, no longer going forward, towards the woods in the other direction.
"Chirp~Tweet~......"
"Chirp~Tweet~......"
As Yang Wu advanced, he vaguely heard the sound of two birds calling one after another, and the sound was very crisp and pleasant.
Curious, he searched for the cry and continued walking.
It didn't take long for him to spot two beautiful birds on the edge of the woods that looked like crowns on their heads, and Yang Wu recognized them as two crowned cranes.
The crowned crane is also called "crown bird", the crowned crane (gray-crowned crane, East African crowned crane) (crane family) belongs to the order Craneformes, the crane family, the crowned crane genus, known as the king of cranes, is a world-famous fairy bird.
The crown bird is mainly found in Uganda, Kenya, southern Sudan, eastern Zaire and western Ethiopia, with slight differences in body shape and appearance depending on the habitat.
Those who live in southern Sudan are smaller and have slightly darker plumage, while those who live in Uganda, Kenya and eastern Zaire have taller bodies, slightly lighter plumage and particularly bright crowns, making them the best of their kind.
It is named for the golden feathers on its head that resemble a crown.
It is loved by the locals for its graceful posture and royal demeanor, and its image is often featured on postage stamps, postcards, and the Ugandan flag.
The two cranes found by Yang Wu belonged to Kenya, and they were larger than those in Sudan.
This beautiful bird was once abundant in the wetlands of the Lake Victoria region of East Africa, but now that their numbers are declining, it is difficult to find them in the area. The reason for this consequence is the loss of wetlands.
The Lake Victoria Basin is one of the most densely populated areas on the African continent, and human activities have caused great damage to the ecological environment of wetlands. Farmers have encroached on large swaths of the valley, depleting the swampy wetlands of water.
That is, this is in the protected area, so there is still an undeveloped pure land, otherwise Yang Wu would not have seen them.
Crown birds generally begin to courtship at the age of 10, marriage, once the marriage will live together day and night, never abandon, even if one unfortunately dies, the other will not remarry, will die alone, their loyalty to love is shocking.
The general lifespan of crown birds can reach 130~150 years.
Crowned birds prefer to roost in ponds, marshes, and on the shores of rivers and lakes, feeding on insects, frogs, and grass seeds.
They lay eggs in an even number, two or four, and occasionally six, from May to July each year.
The incubation of the eggs of the crown bird takes place in secluded aquatic grasses, with the male and female taking turns to serve them.
Yang Wu didn't expect to find crowned birds here, probably they also came to enjoy the coolness, which was also an unexpected joy.
After all, the crown bird is a symbol of love, Yang Wu did not harvest love in his previous life because of his body, but in this life he is physically strong, but he has become a lion, which makes it even more difficult to harvest love, anyway, you can't find a lioness, right?!
"Alas~ It's tears when I think too much!"
“......”
Yang Wu looked for the call of the crown bird, not only found the crown bird, but also found hundreds of fat and tender Tang's antelope around the woods, and now lunch and dinner have fallen.
The Tang Clan's Antelope, who was resting at noon, discovered Yang Wu's traces, because Yang Wu did not hide and crawl forward, but walked over in a big way.
"Hey~......"
"Baa~......"
The Tang Clan Gazelle who found Yang Wu was alerted, and all the Gazelles looked at him vigilantly.
In fact, at a certain distance, the antelope is not afraid of predators like lions, because if the lions do not ambush, but pursue them head-on, they may not be able to catch up with them.
The speed of the lion's eruption is very fast, more than 80 kilometers per hour, which is definitely faster than the antelope, but the fastest speed of the lion's eruption can only last 100 meters.
At a certain distance, on the premise that the antelope is not slow, it is difficult to catch up with them in a hundred meters.
So they didn't run away at the first moment, but kept an eye on Yang Wu's next move.
It's a pity that Yang Wu is not one of those lions in the usual sense, with his explosive speed comparable to that of a cheetah, strong and stable endurance, no animal can escape his pursuit, unless it can fly.
When Yang Wu was still fifty meters away from them, the antelopes finally couldn't help it, and they fled in the opposite direction to Yang Wu, but it was too late.
Yang Wu's instantaneous acceleration can reach 105 kilometers per hour, and he rushed out of more than 100 meters in just over three seconds, which is really too close.
The Townsfolk were terrified, they had never seen a lion running so fast, their strong limbs drove their graceful bodies to jump high, but unfortunately it was useless.
None of the people who were targeted by Yang Wu could escape.
That is, in the sixth second of Yang Wu's starting speed, a pedal antelope died under Yang Wu's mouth, but Yang Wu did not stop, a pedal antelope was only a few dozen kilograms, and with Yang Wu's amount of food, it was not enough to stuff his teeth.
In the fifteenth second, another pedaling antelope died under Yang Wu's claws.
Half a minute later, the third antelope also collapsed in despair.
After hunting and killing three antelopes, Yang Wu stopped, three were enough, and he didn't want to use them to accumulate the source of life, the key was that there were too few, five could only contribute a wisp of it was good, Yang Wu didn't look down on it.
These three Tang's gazelles are enough for Yang Wu's lunch and dinner, and he will go to the tourist area of Lake Victoria in the evening.
Next, Yang Wu began to feast, to be honest, the meat of these Tang's Kick Antelope contained too little qi and blood, and Yang Wu, who had eaten hippos, had his mouth raised.
At noon, the blazing sun was baking the earth, and Yang Wu, who was full of food and drink, could not bear such a high temperature, and lay down under a tree to rest.
