35. The first day I miss my father-in-law
Survival in the wild is too hard, whether it is extreme weather or difficult predation processes, it is a test for all animals.
This is inevitable, nature is relentlessly testing and eliminating them all the time, and accidents, diseases, and other emergencies are harvesting their lives.
Animals that are not alert enough simply cannot survive in the brutal wild environment.
Even every hunt of carnivores, every run of herbivores will damage their bodies, and then leave behind dark wounds that slowly erode their already short lifespan.
As a result, wild animals have a much shorter lifespan than in captivity.
Therefore, most wild animals are extremely cautious and spare their lives, and any dangerous movements will attract their high attention, so as to make careful and agile life-saving actions.
And almost every tiger that enters adulthood will have some dark wounds on their bodies, which will slowly erode their lifespan and indirectly affect their state and strength.
If there are no hidden wounds on the wild tiger's body, then the strength will inevitably be even higher.
The current state of the tiger mother is the state of the dark injury being repaired.
If it weren't for the fact that the repair of the body's dark injuries consumed most of the energy, the tiger mother who ate most of the strings of "spirit fruits" would definitely be more than the current change.
Probably because of the continuous rainy weather, the tiger mother hesitated for a long time when choosing a place to rest.
Luckily, they managed to find a sunken dirt slope to keep out the rain before nightfall.
There are rocks above the slope, so even the tiger mother can hide under the rain to avoid the rain.
If it doesn't rain, the tiger mother is naturally willing, and it doesn't feel comfortable that the hair is wet all the time.
Lin Qianhe shook his hair and lay down in the arms of the tiger mother.
After a day of walking, it rained from time to time, which was quite uncomfortable for the two little ones.
The mother tiger warms her two cubs with her body and gives warmth in this drizzly weather.
Lin Qian and Courage are close to each other, and it has become their tacit understanding to warm each other when they rest and sleep.
With the tiger mother, a big warm baby, to provide warmth, even if the temperature plummets tonight, the brothers will not have the risk of getting cold.
Last night there was another heavy rain, which continued until dawn, and continued to water the dense forest with the whining wind.
The forest is filled with mist, the rain soaks the soil, the plants are wet, the grass is strung with water droplets, and the fresh smell of the forest comes to the face.
The ground near the pit is imprinted with plum blossoms, which are the marks left by the small paws of the tiger cubs.
Lin Qian looked at the gloomy sky, then turned his head to look at the small string of plum blossom prints left behind him, and sighed in his heart at the moodiness of nature.
He misses his father-in-law who smiled brightly two days ago, although the summer sun is scorching, but it is conducive to travel.
The tiger mother walks leisurely in the forest, not annoyed by the rain.
Wind or rain, it's used to it.
It originally wanted to use the slope as a new residence for a short period of time.
However, the weather is not beautiful, it rained heavily overnight, and when I woke up in the morning, the rain had flooded the soil slope and there was no place to put my feet.
Therefore, it has to take the tiger cubs to find a suitable place to live again.
Courage with a playful heart, no worries at all.
The rain stained its hair, and it was happy to step on the puddle it encountered.
Looking at the splashing muddy water, the little tiger shouted and cheered, enjoying the joy of playing in the water.
The tiger mother will not stop the child's behavior of playing in water and stepping on puddles like a human mother does, and even the tiger mother will show a relieved gaze, thinking that the cub's adaptability is good.
Lin Qian has nothing to say about this, he also likes to play in the water, but this kind of muddy rain + mud puddle is not his favorite.
He likes the clear river water that flows slowly, and he is happy to soak his whole body in the cool river water, swim and dive in the golden sunshine.
Unfortunately, the gentle river in the forest is now surging and ferocious, and the clear water of the past is also muddy.
This originally gentle mother river is roaring angrily these days, and its temper is not good at all.
After a day of walking under the gloomy sky, when it was approaching evening, Lin Qian's mother and son did not encounter suitable prey.
Just when Lin Qian thought that he couldn't eat meat today, the tiger mother stopped.
Seeing the tiger mother holding her head high and staring at her, Lin Qian was overjoyed.
There's something to eat!
Courage was also happy, and it almost cheered, but fortunately, Lin Qianyi held down its little head.
Courage didn't care about his brother's rudeness at all, and happily rubbed Lin Qian's neck, his little tail flicking around behind him.
The tiger mother looked at the roe deer five hundred meters away, and her tongue stuck out and licked her mouth slightly.
Normally, daytime hunting is naturally undesirable, but this gloomy rainy day and the sound of rushing torrents will turn everything upside down.
At this time, the roe deer were leisurely eating the young leaves on the bushes, completely unaware that their tender meat had been discovered and targeted by natural enemies.
There are five members of the roe deer group, three large and two small.
The roe deer is a herbivore with a body length of about 1.2 meters and a weight of about 15~30 kg.
Male roe deer has long horns, while female roe deer have no horns.
There is only one horned male roe deer, two hornless females, and two juvenile roe deer in the roe deer group.
Obviously, this male roe deer is more successful than the single roe deer hunted by the tiger mother before.
Not only hugged left and right, but also children around their knees.
It's like a roe deer winner.
The tiger mother lowered her body, hiding her body among the lush bushes, and silently approached the unsuspecting roe deer.
Hunting roe deer, a prey that has no power to resist, the tiger mother has nothing to hesitate, and even chooses the target to start with a slight glance, and when it approaches, which stupid roe deer is closest to her.
Lin Qian held his breath in the back, watching the tiger mother's hunting steps intently.
After all, he is not a pure tiger cub, and he can't rely on instinct to learn the growth steps like courage, so it is very necessary for him to take the initiative to study hard.
The roe deer flock enjoyed the tender green branches and leaves under the rain curtain and ate very happily.
The two little roe deer followed their mother's steps closely, circling around her mother's side, cautiously and curiously looking down for the tender blades of grass.
The rain-watered meadow apparently gave rise to a lot of fresh branches and leaves, and the roe deer ate very happily.
The other female roe deer followed the male, apparently younger and not yet a mother.
has been approaching the roe deer for less than 100 meters, seeing that the roe deer are still eating grass stupidly, the tiger mother's eyes are already flashing with fierce light.
One of these silly roe deer must have become her food today!
Watching the tiger mother arch her muscles from a distance, Lin Qian and Courage's eyes lit up together.
