Chapter 59 (1/2)
The river is dangerous.
Hot and dry weather, lack of food, and less and less water, so that all animals become more and more irritable.
Hippopotamus, who migrated from the lower reaches, bullied crocodiles again.
In order to occupy more water, the hippopotamus, led by the leader, began to attack the crocodile.
The muddy river water is now full of mud and chaos.
The crocodiles had to swallow their guts again and continue to move upstream, giving up territory to hippos.
However, with the coming of the dry season and the continued decline of the river, the war will break out again sooner or later.
And crocodiles in order to survive, but also have to stick to the last piece of water.
By the river.
Several zebras, in order to fight for water position, also had a fight.
Their fighting weapons are powerful hind legs and mouths. Besides kicking, they bite each other's legs.
Many zebras die because they are bitten on their legs and unable to run in battle with their own species, and are hunted by carnivores.
Competition is always there.
Two strong male gazelle, do not know whether to fight for territory or mate, directly in the river full of predators, launched a battle.
Their temperaments are particularly irascible. Every time they rush and collide, they use a desperate posture and stir up the dust.
The slender and sharp corners on his head made a crisp crash and friction sound.
They had bad luck.
In a violent collision, two pairs of slender corners were pinned together and could not be separated.
Two gazelle stood in the same place, low head, you retreat I enter, I enter you retreat, back and forth, extremely anxious, but helpless.
At this time, several stray hyenas saw the opportunity and ran over.
Without any hesitation, they immediately pounce on the back of a gazelle and begin to bite fiercely.
The gazelle tried to escape, but could not move.
And the other gazelle, can only stare in horror, head down, struggling to retreat.
Several hyenas move with them as they bite.
After a while, the gazelle was eaten with only one head and half of its neck!
And the other gazelle, finally raised its head, against the bloody head of its companion, ran away quickly.
A few hyenas, who were full of food, did not go after them.
They looked at three lionesses and four cubs by the river.
Chu Xiaoye finished drinking water, also turned his head and looked at them.
The little curly tail showed the fangs directly, and made a ferocious roar from his mouth, and looked at them defiantly and contemptuously.
Some hyenas looked at him and turned away.
They are too small to be a threat to the lioness and cubs.
They have come from elsewhere and are trying to join the hyenas in the territory.
When the time comes, come back and have a good understanding with these old enemies.
The ferocious underwater killer has been driven to the top by hippos. The place where lions drink water is now occupied by hippos.
These monsters, which even crocodiles are afraid of, usually do not take the initiative to attack lions.
So, Elsa and hill, with their cubs, had a good drink.
Chu Xiaoye can clearly feel the fatigue of the three lioness and the worry in their eyes.
At their age, they naturally spent many dry seasons.
The dry season is undoubtedly the most difficult and dangerous season for the animals on the grassland.
For cubs, it's even more cruel.
Many young lions die of hunger or thirst in the dry season.
They don't have the stamina and physical strength of adult lions, can't run too far, and can't compete with adult lions.
Most of the time, even if the lioness catches prey, they can't eat it.
When food is scarce, both the lioness and the lion, out of the instinct of animals, only feed themselves and let themselves live.
Therefore, at this moment, when feeling that the dry season has come and the cruel and merciless power of nature is about to come to this grassland, the three lioness are extremely heavy and anxious.
If the lions are strong enough, they can leave the territory and continue to move up with the river.
But their lions are not strong.
