30. Lin Qian's language

The tiger mother was lying in the grass, still closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

Tigers love to sleep, especially adult tigers, and sleep for more than 18 hours. This is because they need to conserve their stamina and go out hunting in the best possible condition.

Of course, tigers don't sleep for so long at once, about two or three hours at a time, and are in a state of light sleep.

In their light sleep, they are also vigilant, and they will wake up instantly at the slightest disturbance.

Cubs don't sleep as much as adults, because they don't need to conserve their physical strength to hunt and don't have enough vigilance, so they spend their daily lives playing to their heart's content.

Well, Lin Qian is obviously not among them.

Courage is the norm.

Seeing the sand for the first time, Courage clearly has a great curiosity and interest in the sand.

It was excitedly digging the sand between the large rocks with its claws, and it was a little annoyed to see that the fine sand could not be caught.

A low roar of menacing manipulation was frequent, apparently more vigorous.

After tossing for a while, he grabbed some small stones in the sand and dug them out, looked at them one by one, and piled them all together.

After collecting the stones, Courage turned his gaze to the sparse and tenacious weeds in the cracks of the stones.

The fluffy brown hair was gradually filled with sand and blades of grass, but it was unaware of it, as if the sand and weeds had an enmity with it.

The tiger's mouth whined, waving its little paws again and again to pull at the tough weeds.

Looking at the courage with infinite energy and cuteness, Lin Qian only felt that it was funny.

This tiger is a real tiger.

"Whew~"

Lin Qian called out to his younger brother who was constantly fighting against the sand, and the tone of this call was specially set by him for courage.

It means "courage", and it is the name of courage.

Although Courage didn't realize what a name was now, and he didn't understand the true meaning of this roar, Lin Qian still did it.

He gave courage a name, so it was natural to give it the true meaning and purpose of the name.

Tigers don't have a language, but it's not that they can't communicate, and there are many kinds of roars that tigers use to communicate with each other.

As long as he persistently calls for courage with this particular roar, it will sooner or later understand that this roar is calling to him, a call that is unique to it.

Moreover, this kind of roar that clearly calls for meaning is not only to express the meaning of "name", but also to better communicate with courage.

If only courage could know for sure that this roar is calling to it.

When you get used to it, or become aware enough, this clear meaning of the call can be of great use.

At that time, whether it was training together or when Lin Qian needed it, Courage would be able to accurately understand the message he conveyed for the first time.

The roar of a tiger, although it has its own meaning, is mostly general.

Like a tiger mother calling a tiger cub, it really just calls them, and it will not be clearly divided into calling Lin Qian or calling courage.

Once the courage has the awareness that "this roar is my brother calling me", then many things will become much easier.

Lin Qian can even use this "self-created tiger language" and courage to fight the enemy together and cooperate with the hunt.

The tiger cub and his mother will live together for about 2 years, and this period of time is neither long nor short, but Lin Qian does not want to rely on the tiger mother to raise him all the time.

Now it's really too small to have to.

In a month or two, he and Courage will be able to try to catch small animals when they are older, and they will be able to help the tiger mother share some of the food burden.

If he had a tacit understanding with Courage, and with his wisdom and experience, he felt that it would not be impossible for the two tiger cubs to feed themselves.

Courage has been called by Lin Qian's roar a lot in the past few days, and he can more or less understand that this is his brother calling it.

The tiger cub is a blank sheet of paper that has just begun to learn, absorb knowledge and accumulate experience, so for Lin Qian's self-created "tiger language", the courage to accept it quickly.

The little paw shook off the weeds he had just caught, shook the sand in his hair, and the little tiger immediately ran over.

Lin Qian saw his younger brother running over, and immediately showed a relieved look.

The son is teachable, and he is worthy of his good intentions for so long.

"Roar." It's time to train.

The tone of this roar was also set by Lin Qian.

Courage is ignorant, and it probably knows what my brother wants it to do. However, it is understood that "play" is not "training".

Lin Qian saw courage and excitement around him, and understood.

Alas, language is a long way to go.

The two brothers trained next to each other for a while, completing the part of their daily training.

The tiger mother stood up and was ready to go.

The mountain terrain is bare, surrounded by weeds, rocks and sand, with no shelter except for boulders. Even the dull roe deer can see the approach of the Siberian tiger from a distance and calmly escape.

Obviously, this is not a suitable place to live for a long time.

The tiger mother left the place where the cubs stayed overnight without hesitation, and the forest was their home turf.

"Roar." With a low roar, the tiger mother signaled that it was time for the cubs to continue their journey.

Lin Qianhe and Courage immediately trotted close to their mother, rubbed their little body against the tiger mother, and they were ready to go.

The tiger mother lowered her head and rubbed the two of them, and then walked towards the forest in the distance with graceful tiger steps.

It was nearly dusk before the tiger mother and the two brothers entered a dense forest, the forest on the western edge of its territory, where it used to come to hunt when it was alone as a tiger.

But it hasn't been here for nearly four months since it was about to give birth, and the herbivores in this area must have grown fat after being pampered for so long.

Thinking of the fat bodies of the prey, the tiger mother couldn't help but feel a little hungry and thirsty, it hadn't eaten for more than a day, and it felt a little hungry.

The tiger mother narrowed her tiger eyes slightly, and walked casually, but in fact, she was extremely vigilant, and her attention was already focused on searching for prey.

Tiger mothers rarely search for prey during the day, because the light during the day is not conducive to hunting, and daytime hunting often requires more caution and caution.

Most predators in the forest haunt twilight and night, and twilight can cover their posture, making it more difficult for herbivores to observe their environment, reducing the probability of prey spotting them, and helping them forage.

During the day, predators are often spotted from a great distance, and the success rate of the hunt is greatly reduced.

Therefore, during the day, most of the predators are recuperating, which also creates a relatively safe environment during the day.

This is the experience accumulated over thousands of years and engraved in the genes.

Predators have learned how to hunt better, and herbivores have accumulated survival experience, so most herbivores choose to haunt and eat during the day.
