11. Heavy rain
Lin Qian raised his head and wanted to touch his forehead, alas, he couldn't see the lines on his forehead.
╥﹏╥
It's a sad story......
The male tiger looked sideways at the cub's strange movements, and stretched out his head to rub Lin Qian's round head with some confusion.
As soon as Lin Qian looked up, he saw a small tiger cub reflected in the deep tiger eyes.
Oh yes, through the pupils!
With a thrill in his heart, Lin Qian immediately pulled the male tiger and tried his best to take a closer look.
However, the eyes are not mirrors after all, and the patterns cannot be seen clearly through the reflection, and only a little tiger with messy hair can be seen.
The male tiger is very happy about the closeness of his cubs.
As soon as the tiger's arm hooked, he took the cub into his arms, stretched out his big tongue and began to lick Lin Qian's small brain.
The cub's hair is messed up, so hurry up and lick it.
Bite! Tiger daddy with cubs first experience +1☆
The male tiger licked happily, but Lin Qian's tiger face was tangled together. If nothing else, Tiger Dad's strength is too great!
This strength, where is the hair, it's just to shave!
The little paw immediately resisted to stop the tiger father's big tongue, and the little body slipped towards the tiger mother, not licking it.
The tiger mother was not happy to see the cub, so she quickly lowered her head and licked it gently, not forgetting to throw a disgusted look at the male tiger.
It's as if to say, "Clumsy people can't even lick their hair." ”
The male tiger also reacted when he received the disgusting eyes of the tiger mother, and immediately glanced at the cub with a weak heart.
Isn't it inexperienced, and I didn't see you unhappy when I licked your fur before...... I didn't grasp the strength of licking the cub for the first time, so it would be nice to lick more.
Although he thought so, the male tiger didn't lick Lin Qian's hair anymore, but just looked at Lin Qian's little head with a trace of regret.
Seeing such a humane eye contact between the two tigers, Lin Qian was suddenly surprised.
Is there something wrong with this?
Tigers have such abundant emotions?
Such an anthropomorphic gaze?
It's so weird!
Lin Qian was stunned, this was absolutely not in his previous cognition!
No matter how surprised and shocked Lin Qian was, the performance of the male tiger and the tiger mother was not an illusion, it was a real occurrence.
Lin Qian is not very familiar with this aspect, and has no reference basis, so he can only attribute it to the fact that he did not understand animals before, and now his personal experience is naturally different.
Although the males and females of tigers do not raise their offspring together, the territory of the female tiger is generally within the territory of the male.
Courage didn't know about the interaction between his parents and his brother, and he didn't know his brother's shock. rushed over and crashed into the tiger's arms.
As soon as the regret in the tiger's eyes was closed, the cubs who circled themselves into the net started the experience of taking cubs again.
Lin Qian looked at his stupid younger brother and turned around silently.
Males can have a range of more than 1,000 square kilometers, while females generally have a range of 300-500 square kilometers.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, a male Siberian tiger can have a maximum of three female Siberian tigers in the territory.
If this amount is exceeded, there will be not enough prey, which is not conducive to survival.
At this time, if there are sub-adult tigers in the territory of the female Siberian tiger, they will be driven away. If not, the Siberian tiger will leave the territory and look for a new area to live in.
Under the premise of a good living environment, if the female tiger encounters an invincible enemy, it is possible to send out a special tiger roar to summon the male tiger.
There have been records of a mother tiger dying because a black bear stalked her prey and repeatedly snatching it, resulting in her cubs not having enough food.
After receiving the call from the female tiger, the male tiger came over to hunt the black bear and take revenge directly.
So although the male tiger does not raise offspring, it is not completely indifferent. If cubs and females are in danger, males will intervene.
Most males leave the female during the mating period and then come back to visit their wives and children at regular intervals.
If the death of a female tiger leaves the offspring without shelter, some males will take over the responsibility of raising their children.
There was once a male tiger who took over the responsibility of raising a daughter after the death of his wife, or the child of two successive wives, and the male tiger even gave up the opportunity to expand his territory.
Even a fierce and ruthless beast like a tiger will have such a warm and loving offspring, obviously mother's love and father's love are not discriminatory.
But Lin Qian obviously didn't know about these things, but his impression of Tiger Dad had improved now. It's not like before, it's just disgust, otherwise the male tiger knows that it's time to cry.
The morning sun was soft and warm, and the male tiger leaped into the jungle and soon disappeared.
The male tiger has been there for a whole day and is gone today.
Although it is nice to have offspring, it is not good to stay with the female tiger for too long.
Wandering is the fate of the male tiger's life, and the male tiger will never stay in one area for a long time.
The male tiger wanted to ask who the murderer who injured his cub was, but the female tiger didn't mention it, so it should have been solved.
Unfortunately, the male tiger who became a father for the first time did not know that he had lost a cub.
It's also a kind of luck for it.
The tiger mother looked at Chaoyang and yawned.
The fog in the forest is dissipating, and the cool dew makes the tiger cubs who have just gotten up to drink milk sleepy.
The courage to eat milk vigorously to fill his little belly, but his little head gradually drooped and fell asleep again.
Lin Qian glanced at his sleeping brother, and felt a little funny in a daze.
This foodie, can you eat and fall asleep after eating milk?
As soon as his thoughts arose, Lin Qian also closed his eyes in a daze.
The tiger mother looked at the tiger cubs who were asleep again with soft eyes, adjusted the cubs' positions, and lay down in the cave.
I don't know if it's too comfortable, but she also feels a little sleepy.
The male tiger, who ran not far from the tiger's den, suddenly felt a little sleepy, and after thinking about it, he chose a hidden position and lay down.
The big mouth opened wide and yawned, and the male tiger suddenly fell asleep, and his ears, which had always been alert, slackened at this time.
There are many predators in the jungle, but the tiger is the apex predator, and no animal in the jungle will take the initiative to provoke an adult tiger without long eyes.
So the male tiger is not worried about his own safety at all.
If Lin Qian hadn't fallen asleep at this time, he would definitely have found that today's forest was much quieter than usual.
Outside the cave, a gust of wind suddenly blew, rolling up a lot of needles from larch.
These tiny needles are the most annoying to the tiger, and they are very uncomfortable when they are entangled in the fur, and if they can't shake it off, they have to use their tongues, and the bitter smell of pine resin and artemisia makes the tiger disgusted.
Fortunately, Lin Qian's mother and son are now sleeping soundly in the cave, and no one is disturbed by the annoying tiger's needles.
Tough and tenacious larch trees stand silently on the ground outside the cave, they can grow in fertile and moist land, but also in barren and arid slopes, and can withstand the low temperature of minus 50 degrees, and the vitality is extremely strong.
The wind, which had been a little gentle, suddenly became violent, and with a roar, the vast forest roared by.
"Boom—"
A muffled thunder suddenly sounded.
Crackling raindrops fell, and the rainstorm took shape in an instant.
Under the rain curtain, larch trees and many other trees and vegetation quietly accept this baptism from nature, and they are calm in the face of wind and rain.
They have obviously spent countless years in such lonely and boring years, and many trees have even taken root in this land for decades, hundreds, or even millennia.
In the pouring rain, the rainwater accumulates slightly in the potholes of the meadow and is quickly absorbed by the soil vegetation.
The forest was quiet under the rain curtain, and there seemed to be no sound except for the rustling of the rain.
The birds that used to fly and chirp are gone, and the howling beasts are gone.
Only the wind swept through the trees and grass, and some vegetation was swayed by a strange air current.
In the blink of an eye, this slight movement quickly disappeared.
A summer rain that was originally taken for granted seemed to be secretly strange and unusual.
Plants, on the other hand, have always existed as producers, silently and selflessly giving everything, but now, they seem to be beginning to change.
The rain came suddenly, ended neatly, and in less than an hour, this improvisation of nature had come to an end.
In the cave, Lin Qian slowly opened his eyes.
The little tiger yawned, and the milk was cute.
Lin Qian blinked and was a little dazed, why was he so sleepy today?
Woke up in the morning and fell asleep with milk?
Before he could think about it, a rumbling sound in his little stomach reminded him that it was time to eat.
The courage has already snorted and pounced on the tiger mother to beg for milk.
It's hungry, so hungry.
The tiger mother looked at the hungry cubs and felt very hungry in her stomach, which made her a little puzzled.
She had just had a full meal yesterday, why was she hungry so quickly?
The hunger in her body became more and more surging, and the tiger mother didn't think much about it anymore, and the tiger paw pushed her courage and turned around and dragged the bear meat out.
She's going to give meat to the tiger cubs.
The cubs are two months old, they are growing very well, their baby teeth are growing very healthy, and they can try to eat some meat.
As for fox meat, the tiger mother does not plan to give it to the tiger cubs, because of the smell of the fox, the taste of fox meat is not good.
Normally, tigers don't like to catch foxes.
The fox is not big, the meat is not delicious, and the benefits and efforts are really unequal.
Lin Qian's eyes lit up when he saw the tiger mother's movements.
What a big bear!
Roar, Tiger Daddy is still very powerful!
Such a big brown bear can hunt it back!
He saw the picture of the tiger mother coming in with the bear in her mouth, and later understood that it was the prey brought back by the tiger father.
After two months of being a tiger, Lin Qian didn't have much feeling for the bloody animal corpses, and he had seen too many pictures of the tiger mother returning from hunting and eating.
But seeing the headless brown bear, Lin Qian was still shocked, surprised by the strength of the tiger father.
Then I thought of the 500-kilogram bite force of the Siberian tiger, and I instantly took it for granted.
Thinking of the power of the male tiger, Lin Qian suddenly had confidence in his tiger life, he is also a male tiger, and when he grows up, he will not be bad!
Roar!
He, Siberian tiger cub.
It doesn't take ten years, three years to get to Hexi!
