98. Ready-made food
Soon, a fluffy white rabbit appeared in Lin Qianxiang's sight.
The rabbit's ears are not very long, there is a handful of black hair on the tip of the white ears, the whole body is snow-white, the tail is short, and the snow-white fluff looks very warm.
There is no doubt that this is a snow hare.
The snow hare is a nocturnal animal, timid, cold-tolerant and heat-tolerant, and likes to gnaw on wood.
In order to adapt to the harsh winter snow living environment, the snow hare turns white in winter until the roots of the hair.
In summer, the coat color becomes darker, mostly russet, and it is a hare with white winter hair.
Lin Qian felt very familiar when he saw the snow rabbit, and he was a little puzzled, if he saw such a snow-white rabbit, he would definitely not let it go, had he caught it before?
But when he thought about it, it didn't seem to be.
There are really not many white hares, and he has an impression.
For this matter, I can only blame Lin Qian for being uneducated.
He didn't know that many of the hares he had caught before were snow hares, but at that time, the hair was russet, and it was not as thick as the winter hair, so it was naturally a little worse in appearance, and it was normal not to be remembered.
The hair has changed, but there will be no big change in body shape, so Lin Qian will feel that this rabbit is familiar.
The snow rabbit, which was supposed to act at night, appeared outside during the day for some reason, and this thick blizzard was not the right time to travel no matter how you look at it.
Lin Qianke didn't care why the snow rabbit was dispatched at this time, in his eyes, this was a small snack.
Lin Qian swept his courage with his tail secretly, and the courage understood in seconds, and he instantly made preparations for attacking.
Lin Qian rushed out, there was no way, the venue was not suitable for ambush, so he could only use Plan B.
The snow rabbit was frightened by the sudden movement, and when he saw the little tiger rushing towards him, he fled to the side.
Where did it think that facing the little tiger chasing it was just to disturb its judgment, and the real killing move had quietly circled in front of it!
The speed of courage has an excellent advantage in Plan B!
"Uh-"
The bitten throat could not even utter a full scream, and the sound of shattering and deformation was the last life of the snow rabbit.
Its confused eyes were wide open, apparently unexpectedly that another tiger would already come near it.
Successfully hunted the rabbits, Lin Qian and Courage didn't feel anything, they skillfully skinned the rabbits and ate the meat, and ate a small snack in about three minutes.
Lin Qian looked at the bloodstained snow-white rabbit skin draped on the branch and felt a little pity, he hadn't found the prey yet, he couldn't take the rabbit skin to find the prey, so he could only throw it here first.
I just hope that he will have this thing in his mouth when he comes back, otherwise he will have to give up this beautiful fur in the end.
Whenever this happens, Lin Qian thinks of the chipmunk, and envy it when he thinks of its spatial abilities.
Of course, he had tried to get the chipmunk to fill it with something else, but unfortunately, the little guy could only stuff it into his mouth for now.
Therefore, objects larger than its mouth cannot be put in at all, and it can only be expected to achieve the effect of "in the sleeve" as the ability is enhanced in the future, so that it can really be used as a suitcase.
Chipmunk: Squeak!
The tiger mother and the female tiger are not surprised by the tactical cooperation and results of the two tiger cubs, and they have seen such scenes many times.
Seeing that the brothers had finished eating, the tiger mother let out a low roar and signaled to continue on the road.
The sky was getting overcast, the sun was already blocked, and the snowflakes that had just stopped for a while were falling again.
After a long journey, the tiger came to an area where deer hunt is common.
This area is a mountainous grassland landform, where water and grass are abundant, relatively open, easy to run, and also close to the river, which is the favorite activity area of the deer herd.
Now that there are no sparse trees and foliage, the forest seems more empty, but not to mention the shadow of the deer, even the bird's cry is rarely heard.
As soon as Lin Qian finished observing, he saw the tiger mother and the female tiger walking towards a snow bag without hesitation.
"Whoa."
The tiger's claws quickly shaved through the snow, and soon, the shape of a red deer was revealed.
This, this is frozen to death last night?!
Lin Qian looked at the frozen red deer in surprise and expectation, he seemed to understand something!
The mother tiger and the female tiger dragged the red deer, and this time the whole red deer came out of the snow bag.
The tiger mother and the female tiger are extremely skillful in skinning, and the sisters are now able to skin them without damage, and there is not even a tooth hole in the deerskin.
This red deer is a female red deer, nearly two hundred catties, enough for a tiger to eat.
The frozen venison brought a different taste, Lin Qian squinted, this kind of meat was a little less bloody than usual, it was too frozen, and it was cold to swallow.
After eating, the tiger mother and the female tiger skillfully buried the remaining residues and skeletons back in the snow bag.
Lin Qian didn't know why, this venison had already been eaten by them, why did they hide it?
This is naturally the habit of tiger mothers in winter, and there is not much meat left, so it is not suitable to take them back at the moment.
But if you don't find any food in the future, you can come back and dig it up and eat it or take it back.
After all, there is a snow cover, and these meats can be preserved for a long time, so you don't have to worry about spoilage in the short term.
Moreover, it snowed so heavily in early winter, and I don't know how many animals suffered that night.
It's not a good thing for herbivores to lose too much in early winter, and don't look at the effortless all-you-can-eat meat in front of you, and the rest can be miserable.
In the depths of winter, there are fewer and fewer herbivores, and there is not enough food, so carnivores have to fight each other.
Covered with snow and buried all the blood, the tiger set off again.
Last night's blizzard caught many animals off guard, and most of those animals that had no place to shelter from the snow and were not warm enough were in the wilderness.
Therefore, the tiger did not walk for long, and another snow bag appeared in front of it, and the tiger mother walked over and took out her paws, sniffed, confirmed that there was food, and quickly dug it.
Lin Qian was holding the deer skin in his mouth, and he was puzzled when he saw the two sika deer that were frozen hard.
Is this blizzard so powerful, and the animals in the forest so stupid?
Frozen to death like this?
Lin Qian really can't understand the reason for this, in his opinion, no matter how stupid the animal is, it also has a survival instinct, and the snow is accumulated little by little, and it is not a hula hood.
Don't animals know how to find a place to hide from the snow?
Lin Qian's doubts were not unreasonable. In fact, when wild animals sense that a snowstorm is coming, they will immediately move to find a safe place, but it is not so easy to find shelter from the snowstorm.
Of course, there are many animals that look for burrows before the onset of winter, but the number of natural burrows is very small.
In extreme weather, most of the animals' fur is difficult to resist the cold, especially the deer, their fur is not outstanding among many animals, which is also the reason why Lin Qian and the deer they dug up one after another.
Last night's blizzard was a bit unexpected, and such a blizzard should not have been in early winter.
This also caught the animals foraging outside off guard and had no way to cope.
In the face of a sudden blizzard, the animals can only forge ahead in the wind and snow, resigned to their fate.
If you're lucky, you'll find a glimmer of life before your limbs stiffen.
If you are unlucky, you can only walk slower and slower in the snowstorm until your hooves freeze and freeze, and you lose consciousness completely, and finally lose consciousness and are completely buried by snowflakes.
Just like the cattle and sheep on the grassland, they will never stop moving forward in the face of a snowstorm.
Because they know that as long as they stop in the wind and snow, they will be frozen by the wind and snow for a moment, and they will completely lose hope of life, and there is no other way but to move forward.
Therefore, someone once photographed frozen cattle and sheep standing in the snow, which is what they look like in the blizzard.
On the way to survival, they are gradually wiped out of consciousness, lose their temperature, and stiffen their whole bodies until they are completely frozen into ice sculptures.
When it comes to survival, the animals are really not stupid or stupid, and even they are brave and tough.
It's just that they don't have a choice, they are powerless to fight against the power of nature, and even if they struggle, they are extremely vulnerable.
Probably only a blessed animal like the Siberian tiger can survive the roar of the wind and snow.
Tigers are blessed with particularly thick fur and fat, which allows them to move freely in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, a half-sized tiger like Lin Qian is also more resistant to the cold winter than other animals, which is the innate gap.
Lin Qian's doubts flashed, except for tigers and humans, other animals in his eyes only had the question of whether they could eat good or not.
He doesn't care if the animals are really stupid, he's not a scholar, he doesn't have that much curiosity, and for now, the food in front of him is the most real.
After all, he can live a life of drinking blood now, where can he take care of that.
The experience of picking up food made Lin Qian think, he is very familiar with the territory of the tiger mother now, and he met three deer after walking a few hundred meters.
The area of this forest is not small, and if you come out to pick up food every day in the future, won't you have to worry about eating meat for a long time in the future?
If you can get it for nothing, who wants to work hard.
He understands the joy of lying flat. There was ready-made food, which was certainly the best.
As soon as the thought passed, Lin Qian himself gave it a no.
They are not the only tigers in this forest, other predators will definitely come out to hunt for food.
Moreover, there are probably not as many animals that have frozen to death as he expected, after all, most animals must have survived the winter.
These deer must have been unlucky, failed to find suitable shelter, and were unlucky enough to encounter a blizzard in early winter.
As Lin Qian thought, most of the deer that can be frozen to death by the blizzard are too unlucky, and they are basically old and weak, and those who are strong and powerful have already occupied a safe place, where can they still be hanging outside in winter.
And being able to find two snow bags in succession was just Lin Qian's luck.
