59, old female tiger
This is the second time that the tiger mother has inspected this territory.
Except for one patrol when she first arrived, the mother tiger did not patrol again, because with the cubs, for the safety of the cubs, the female tiger will try to minimize the number of patrols in the territory during the rearing period.
Hearing the call of the tiger mother to go out, the courage could not care about the stalemate with the chipmunk, and the little tiger cub climbed down the tree and ran towards the tiger mother excitedly.
Although after learning to hunt, he and Lin Qian's range of activities near the pond became larger and larger, but in fact they did not go far.
Being able to go far and go to the forest outside, courage is naturally exciting and happy.
Lin Qian is also full of interest in going out, he is almost familiar with the surrounding terrain, and there is really nothing new.
The tiger mother rubbed the little brains of the tiger cubs, flicked her big tail, and took the tiger cubs on a trip.
The mother and son were walking in the forest, and the animals they encountered were all aware of it from a distance and quickly retreated.
Ever since the tiger mother revisited the territory, the animals in this forest have long known that the queen has returned, and they dare not die.
After the tiger mother finished marking a place, Lin Qian's little ears suddenly moved, and it heard a tiger roar.
It's a female tiger's.
The tiger mother looked up into the distance, sniffing at the tip of her nose.
Lin Qianhe had the courage to notice the abnormality, and he also pricked up his nose, trying to find the smell to distinguish the information.
Tigers have a very good sense of smell, and adult tigers can smell odors within five kilometers and locate them accurately.
Lin Qianhe sniffed for a long time, but he didn't receive any useful information. But the tiger mother, who seems to know something, is hesitating.
Lin Qian ran to his mother, and his little head rubbed the hair on the tiger mother's chest.
"Huh?" Mom, what's wrong?
Courage also held his little head high, looking at the tiger mother with a curious and puzzled look.
The mother tiger lowered her head and rubbed the tiger cubs, then let out a low roar and decided to take the children with her.
Lin Qian watched the tiger mother walk out of the territory area, and her eyes widened in surprise.
You must know that the female tiger has a very strong sense of territory, and even cares more about the territory than the male tiger. Under normal circumstances, female tigers do not leave their territory, and they do not easily intrude into the territory of other tigers.
But the tiger mother did it, isn't she afraid that the female tiger in this area will be angry?
Could it be that there is only one female tiger in Tiger Dad's domain?
After thinking about it, Lin Qian felt that it was absolutely impossible.
When Tiger Dad was young and strong, how could there be a female tiger in the territory, not to mention that this mountain forest is not barren, there will definitely be female tigers to settle here.
Lin Qian didn't continue to ask, and quietly followed the tiger mother.
Since the tiger mother dares to bring them over, it must be safe to be sure.
Courage is a little excited, along the way to see, that sniff, a pair of watery eyes are full of curiosity.
"Roar~"
Walking through a forest, Lin Qian heard a low tiger roar representing "hello".
Is it the owner of the family who knows that they are coming? Still not angry at all?
Lin Qian was very curious, the tiger actually had a social interaction?
Hearing the tiger's roar, the tiger mother whispered back, expressing her closeness and friendliness.
The sound that the tiger mother makes is a breath sound, and it sounds like the sound of putting the upper row of teeth against the lower lip and spraying.
Lin Qian is very familiar with this kind of sound, because the tiger mother often uses this kind of air sound when communicating with them, and there are fewer sounds like roaring when they really open their mouths.
After Lin Qian became a tiger, he realized that when the tiger expressed kindness or felt happy, it basically made such a sound, instead of a tiger roaring and roaring.
One big and two small ones slowly moved forward like this, and soon saw a female tiger lying on a big rock under a tree to enjoy the coolness.
The little nose sniffed instinctively, and Lin Qian soon knew the basic information of the female tiger.
This is an old female tiger, at least 15 years old.
This was the first time Lin Qian had encountered other female tigers, and it was also the oldest wild tiger he had seen so far.
The old female tiger slowly got up and paced forward slowly.
The mother tiger also took a few steps forward, and then the heads of the two female tigers touched slightly, looking very harmonious and friendly.
After greeting the tiger mother, the old female tiger looked down at the two tiger cubs, showing a hint of love in her eyes, but did not come closer.
Lin Qian looked at the state of the two big cats and suspected that the elderly female tiger was its "maternal grandmother".
It knew that the territory of the female tiger was usually divided from the mother.
Lin Qian's guess was correct based on normal circumstances.
But here, there is a deviation.
Courage sensed that the old female tiger had no ill will towards them, and his courage suddenly grew.
He didn't hide at his mother's feet anymore, he looked at the old female tiger curiously with his little brain, and boldly stepped forward and walked beside him.
The tiger mother called in a low voice, not letting the cub leave its side.
Although the old female tiger has no malicious intent, the maternal instinct of the tiger mother is still very vigilant, and the tiger cub must be firmly protected by her side to rest assured.
Courage is not really simple, feeling my mother's anxiety and immediately ran back.
The little cub obediently rubbed his mother's thigh, which instantly soothed his mother's anxiety.
The old tigress also knew that she should keep a safe distance, and turned back to lie down on the rocks from before.
At this time, another female tiger came out of the woods beside him.
Lin Qianhe and Courage hurriedly hid to the side of the tiger mother.
The female tiger who came this time is very young, and judging from the smell information, it is a female tiger who has not been an adult for a long time, and she is about the same age as the tiger mother.
The female tiger was slightly stunned when she saw the tiger mother, and after coming back to her senses, she came forward and rubbed the tiger mother's back very affectionately.
The tiger mother also roared happily and rubbed it back.
Seeing the actions of the two tigers, Lin Qian felt that this was probably the sister of the tiger mother.
This time, Lin Qian guessed correctly.
The female tiger is indeed the sister of the tiger mother, and she is also a sibling of the same mother, the same litter.
However, Lin Qian, the "little aunt", is very uncalm at the moment, I haven't seen her for more than half a year, how did my sister become so strong?
The shock change a few days ago, it suddenly became stronger, but it didn't change so much.
Could it be that my sister is naturally stronger than it?
But when I was a child, they all looked about the same...... The female tiger really couldn't figure it out, so she didn't bother anymore.
The tiger mother was not surprised by the appearance of her sister, when the tiger mother had just come to this area with her front foot, her sister who was also driven out with the back foot also came here.
The sisters settled here again and became neighbors.
However, because of the habits of tigers, the two sisters usually don't see each other.
But they still have feelings for each other, because the competition between the female tigers is not strong, and they are even more peaceful after having their respective territories, and the relationship between the sisters has naturally not weakened.
The two sisters briefly exchanged feelings, and the female tiger walked towards the old female tiger and said hello with an angry voice.
The elderly tigress looked a little lazy, and she slowly stood up and rubbed the tigress gently like her mother.
