The music of the bugs becomes slightly tighter at night, and the cool wind blows the rabbit's brown hair.

The plush ones are somewhat cute.

At this time, the hare was concentrating on the delicious grass juice, and it could not perceive the subtle changes around it, and it was still carefully selecting the next bite of food.

Suddenly, slightly, the grinding sound of bush branches and leaves alarmed it.

The alert long ears were frightened and erected.

A figure as swift as thunder had appeared in front of the hare, like lightning that suddenly appeared during thunder, abrupt and fast.

The instinct to survive prompted the hare to exert all its muscles in an instant, and it catapulted out like an electric shock, wanting to escape from its predetermined fate.

However, the tiger mother's pounce is extremely accurate, and her sophisticated hunting skills make it almost effortless to face such a cute and weak prey.

The strong tiger's claws pressed the hare's head, and the three-petaled mouth, which was still clenching the young leaves, opened and closed weakly.

The tiger's claws were forced, and this fragile life was broken in an instant.

Perhaps the rabbit had been a little more alert, and it would have been able to escape into a pre-explored tree hole or a rabbit hole that had been dug long ago, and it would have escaped for its life.

But apparently, it's just maybe.

Any life under the laws of nature, even the slightest slackness, will lose its life.

The tiger mother looked around and chose to eat on the spot.

It doesn't take much effort to kill this small prey, so it can be said that it is easy to do.

The tiger mother's goal has never been to be a little thing like a hare, it's just a dessert on her hunting path.

The little rabbit quickly entered the belly of the tiger mother, and the taste of rabbit meat was not bad. She is very willing to catch such cuties and bring them back to feed the children.

But now, she needs to fill her stomach first.

If she meets a little guy who is not lucky enough on the way back, she will definitely bring it back.

Eat a whole rabbit and lick the blood from its mouth and paws like an aftertaste on the tip of its scarlet tongue.

Hunger is not alleviated by eating, but by the delicious small amount of meat that arouses more cravings.

Coupled with the concern for the tiger cub in the cave, the tiger mother quickly quickened her pace and headed towards the familiar hunting ground.

Moonlight shines through the forest, and a little bit of moonlight is revealed between the dense canopy.

The quiet early summer night is like a sleeping princess, and beneath the beauty is death that is about to come.

In the tiger's den, the tiger brothers were already asleep, but Lin Qian was still vigilant with his sleepy little body.

His mental effort was vigilant, but his young body was getting more and more tired, and he was too young to support such exertion.

But he did not dare to sleep, for fear that he would be eaten by the other predators of the forest in his sleep.

Usually, the tiger mother didn't come back, and he kept guarding it like this.

At first, he couldn't stay up and would fall asleep halfway, but before the tiger mother came back, he would wake up and continue to guard.

Lin Qian didn't know if it was useful, but this was the only thing he could do now.

In the dark night, he could only pray that the tiger mother would return early, so that he could sleep peacefully.

Lin Qian's prayers were probably not heard by the gods of the forest.

The tiger mother had a rough hunt tonight, as she had walked through a large area of territory without catching any more prey.

Because of the presence of cubs, the tiger mother did not dare to go too far from the tiger's den, and her hunting range was limited.

Hunting itself is not an easy task, and even the Siberian tiger, which stands at the top of the food chain, has a success rate of less than 30%.

In this cruel forest, every animal is trying its best to survive.

Weak animals often do their best to save their lives, desperately hiding, hiding, and it is not as easy to find them as imagined.

Trappers, on the other hand, often need luck in addition to 10% patience and superb hunting skills.

The brutality of the hunt is on full display in the forest.

Weak herbivores look pitiful and innocent, are naturally weak, and always provoke pity.

But meat eaters are not born brutal, they just want to live, to survive.

And herbivores aren't always docile and good.

When faced with life and death, they will ruthlessly abandon their companions, and when they encounter predators, they will not hesitate to abandon the group to survive.

When needed for survival, they can also extend their attacking horns to their own kind, which they use to compete for status, mates, and reproduction.

These brutal battles are also vividly displayed among herbivores.

Survival is tragic and cold, and under this sky, the death of any life is not innocent.

"Goo-"

The call of the owl echoed through the thick treetops, and the ghostly sound reverberated through the quiet night.

If you listen closely, you can hear the wind from the beating of the powerful wings.

The tiger mother looked up and looked at the dark sky through the canopy, and the tiger paw tiptoed a little anxiously, and the deepest moment of the night came.

The alert herbivores relaxed slightly, the only time of day to let their guard down, albeit briefly.

Because the ferocious predators have mostly gained something by this moment, and are ready to return to their nests to sleep.

And most of the predators who have not harvested will return to their burrows at this moment, starving and continuing to endure until the next night comes.

The tiger mother stood there and hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to return.

The female tiger with three cubs did not dare to give up the opportunity to hunt easily.

Raising her cubs requires milk, and the mother must ensure that she can replenish her food and produce enough milk to feed her cubs.

The three tiger cubs have passed the period when they are most likely to die, and now the three tiger cubs are growing very well, with healthy physiques and baby teeth, and they are obviously not going to die early.

Unless the cub is weak and unable to survive, and there is a lack of milk and food, the female tiger will not abandon the cub.

This is the tiger mother's first cub, and she naturally wants to do her best to raise them all.

But the tiger mother, who is a mother for the first time, does not have enough experience in child-rearing, and the burden of raising three cubs is too heavy.

Every step of raising a tiger cub is a huge test for this novice tiger mother, which makes her afraid to take risks easily.

If she is hungry today, it will be more difficult for her to catch her prey tomorrow, even more hungry and tired.

At that time, she is afraid that she will not be able to provide enough milk for the tiger cubs, so that the tiger cubs will starve and even abandon one of the tiger cubs because of this.

Such an ending was obviously not what she wanted to see.

In the pristine natural environment, the more species stand at the top of the food chain, the more difficult it is to reproduce, especially the Siberian tiger.

It often takes a year and a half or more for a tiger cub to be born and able to hunt alone, and the tigress is left alone to care for this time.

Tigers, on the other hand, have a long and fragile juvenile period, and until their sharp claws mature, the only thing cubs can rely on is their mother.

In addition, the fertility and reproduction of tigers is also not simple, the gestation period of the female tiger is about 3 months, each birth of 2-4 tiger cubs, generally 2, lactation period of 5-6 months.

Tigresses will live with their cubs for 2-3 years until the cubs reach adulthood.

During this period, the female tiger no longer mates in heat, so the female tiger can only reproduce her offspring every 2-3 years under natural conditions.

The lifespan of Siberian tigers in the wild is usually 15-17 years, with a maximum of 20 years.

Females are sexually mature at about 3 years of age, so they have a very limited number of reproductions.

In addition, it is not easy to survive in the wild, and the mortality rate of cubs is very high, almost less than half, so the degree of care for the cubs is very high.

Some tigresses even suffer from 'depression' after losing their cubs and go on hunger strikes. Many tigresses who have been hit hard will be reluctant to have offspring.

Humans often say that 'being a mother is strong', and the female tiger is even more so, and the female tiger who is born as the king bears more than the male tiger.

Therefore, during the time period of rearing the tiger, the tigress will be unusually irritable and suspicious.

In order to protect its cubs, it is no longer afraid of even male tigers, which are much larger than it, and any animal that dares to approach its territory will be attacked by it in the most terrible way.

Even if it is the biological father of the tiger cub, most of the tigresses will choose to back down in the face of cub protection, which is one of the reasons why the male tiger does not care about his family.

The music of insect chirping became more and more intense, and the brown hair of the tiger mother fluttered in the night breeze, and she resolutely rushed to the next hunting ground.

The dull sound of turbulence flowed slowly beneath the night sky, and the tall trees dropped abruptly in view.

There were no longer thick tree trunks blocking the view, and low, lush bushes and grasses were rooted in the muddy riverbank.

The river flows quietly, nourishing all the creatures in the basin, silently witnessing the birth and death of life.

It's a source of water within Tiger Mother's territory, and the cold water of the river separates her territory from the deep and dense forests on the other side of the river.

It was the territory of an adult male brown bear.

Tiger mothers have never crossed a river into brown bear territory to hunt, a silent tacit understanding among apex predators.

The brown bear is often defiant and contemptuous of the female tiger, so she has a very bad impression of the neighbor.

The adult male brown bear has a huge body weight and huge arm strength, and it is in the peak stage of bear life.

Female Siberian tigers are slightly inferior to male tigers in weight and strength, and are naturally not as deterrent to brown bears as male tigers.

This area is not a frequent hunting spot for tiger mothers, and it is a matter of luck to come here.

The water source is a place where large herbivores feed, and it is also a great hunting ground, and if you are lucky, you can meet large herbivores who come to drink and feed.

But because the forest opposite is inhabited by brown bears, the animals that come to drink water are obviously more vigilant.

However, by this time her pesky neighbor should be back in the lair, and it would be a good time not to be disturbed.

If the timing is a little more clever, then she and the tiger cub will have food for the next few days.

Tiger mothers are very familiar with their territory, and they are even more familiar with the hunting methods in several hunting grounds. She knew that most of the reindeer at this time of year were in groups of threes and twos, and some of the baby reindeer would follow their mothers to the riverbank in search of food.

If you're lucky enough to catch a delicious deer, today's hunt will be perfect.

But the appearance of the deer herd is irregular, and the tiger mother is not sure, so she can only gamble.
