Chapter 520 (1/2)
Serengeti, prairie.
The hot sun is burning the earth. Under the blue sky, the huge horned horse team is moving towards the north.
From July to September of each year, it is the season of changing between rainy season and dry season in the grassland of East Africa.
At the end of the rainy season in Serengeti, the rain area moved north, the precipitation decreased and the dry season came. This makes Serengeti grassland gradually become a wasteland, and herbivores, including horned horses, are facing an increasingly serious survival crisis.
At this time, Masai Mara Nature Reserve in northern Kenya is the continuous rainy season, which makes it become the ”Eden” of the whole East African grassland at this time.
During this period, with the pace of the rain, the horned horse traveled day and night to avoid the attack of many natural enemies. It traveled more than 40 kilometers every day and migrated northward to Masai Mara in Kenya, a distance of about 3000 kilometers.
The process of migration is very dangerous, because they will step over the territory of many beasts.
This stage is also the time for all the wild animals on the grassland to hunt.
Lions, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, and so on. These fierce predators are ready to eat and feast at this time.
At this time, in one corner of the prairie, nearly a hundred horned horses were running towards the migrating army.
And behind them, the lions followed closely, bloodthirsty looking for the lone horned horse, ready to pounce on it for a deadly strike.
Hunting is an instinct for the top predators on the prairie, and their hunting skills are repeatedly honed in their growth. Because the cost of mistakes is starvation, they are very skilled at catching prey.
While driving the horned horses away from the big army, the lioness's eyes were still scanning the inside of the horned horses, the small cubs.
Compared with adult wildebeests, pups are undoubtedly the best targets for hunting.
And killing cubs is not easy to be hurt by accident.
At this time, the hunting began. A lioness suddenly roared, and the rest of the lionesses around the horned horses rushed to the horned horses at the same time.
As herbivores, hordes of wildebeests are capable of competing with lions, but they don't have the courage to fight. In the face of the lions, they are in a panic, and the running formation breaks up.
This is exactly what the lions want to see. At that time, several horned horses were knocked down by the lioness.
Because of habit, the first target of a lion is the throat of a horned horse, which is also a fatal part.
At the moment, this scene is being photographed by cameras not far away as a great migration landscape on the prairie, and many photographers come here to collect materials at this time of year.
The thrill of the wildebeest's migration can really create a lot of ratings for them.
But the job is also dangerous.
Because there are too many fierce predators on the prairie, even if they have many protections, they will die if they are not careful.
In the same way, high risk brings about high returns.
So every year, there are still many photographers who come to make documentaries or materials.
At this moment, the scene of lions hunting wildebeests is exactly the selling point they want to see. A few photographers, who are not far away, immediately focus on the scene of lions showing superb hunting skills.
The hunting was fast-paced and a large number of wildebeests fled, but four wildebeests were killed on the spot. The scene was breathtaking and excited the photographers who took pictures.
Because these clips can bring them fame and money.
After hunting, the lionesses did not eat, but each bit their prey and began to turn back.
As a social animal, lions are different from many animal groups.
Although it is the lioness that goes out to hunt, the lioness does not have the right to take the lead in eating. The lion who guards the territory is the leader of the lion group, and only it has the first right to eat.
Only when the male is full, then is the time for the females to eat. The rules of eating are very strict.
At the moment, although the lionesses have hunted four horned horses, the males will not be able to eat them, but the lionesses still choose to bring back the food.
Because in general, the male lion will pick and choose the delicious part of his mouth when eating. Unless there is a shortage of food, under certain conditions, the male lion will first satisfy his own taste, so the four horned horses and the male lion all have the right of superior and advanced food.
The three thousand beauties of the harem also sent them out to work to support themselves. In this respect, the male lion played the most incisively and vividly.
Like a fighter in a scum!
Of course, in fact, the lion also bears the heavy responsibility, which is not very easy, because the task of the lion is to defend the territory, protect the ethnic group and protect the offspring, and every battle is in danger of death.
But without the arrival of the ”old king next door”, the life of the lion is very comfortable under the absolute safety condition.
At this moment, the lionesses begin to turn back, dragging the dead horned horse.
Unfortunately, this group of lionesses turned back in the direction of the photographers.
At this moment, the photographers, who were very happy before, were sweating.
Because they knew exactly what would happen if they were found.
They immediately put down the camera, crawling to the ground, looking forward to the terrible things do not come.
As the distance approached, the heavy breath of the lionesses was clearly audible.
At this moment, the photographers were so nervous that their hearts could not stop pounding.
At this time, a lioness walking in front of the team suddenly turned her sharp eyes to the weeds not far away.
Although the smell of blood in the mouth is very heavy, it still smells a different smell.
The lioness immediately put down her prey in her mouth and approached the haystack.
As the top predators, they are not afraid of any rivals in this prairie, so they are not worried about the existence of danger at all.
