MTL - Those Years of Dressing As An Animal-Chapter 167
Previously, Chen Xing's family spent a lot of time recuperating in the zoo because of the injury of the Tibetan fox mother.
Now that their family has been released back to their original home, it is summer and autumn, which is a very important time for wild animals.
Generally speaking, in summer, the parents of Tibetan foxes have to take turns to hunt and feed the little Tibetan foxes to ensure that the body of the little Tibetan foxes takes in enough energy to make them stronger in this season of abundant food. Only in this way can we survive the cold winter when food is scarce and live well into the second year.
But this year, due to the special circumstances of the family, Chen Xing and his family directly spent most of the summer in the zoo. Without the need for Tibetan fox parents to worry about it, humans provided a steady stream of food to fill the four little Tibetans. The bottomless belly of the fox, their body has also become stronger and stronger because of this sufficient food, the body is rich in nutrients, and the stomach is full of oil and water, even the thinnest Tibetan fox sister at the time, now looks the same. The other little Tibetan foxes of the same kind couldn't tell the difference, and they couldn't tell that she had ever been very thin.
Compared with other little Tibetan foxes who grew up in the wild, the four brothers and sisters Chen Xing always got along well in the zoo.
The Tibetan fox father and mother also benefited from this, and the work of feeding the little Tibetan foxes is much better than other Tibetan fox parents who have been in the wild.
At least, with the sturdy bodies of the four little Tibetan foxes, as long as there are no accidents, they will definitely be able to survive the cold winter and grow into adulthood smoothly.
At that time, the Tibetan fox parents' task of raising their children will finally end.
In this summer and autumn, the next most important job for the family is to hunt as much prey as possible, either eat it into the stomach and turn it into fat, or find a way to store it to fill the stomach when food is scarce.
No matter how much food you have, you don’t dislike it. Tibetan Fox’s parents are hard-working people.
The second day after returning home, early in the morning, the Tibetan fox parents woke up first, and then woke up the four cubs by licking their faces.
His eyelids were licked, and no matter how sleepy Chen Xing was, he still woke up. Then he and his three younger brothers and sisters followed behind the Tibetan fox's parents and went out of the long-awaited cave. It went directly to the place where they usually hunted.
The Tibetan fox's parents may have already explored it before. This area is still very safe for the time being, and no other large carnivores have been seen. Therefore, the cubs came to this hunting area, and their husband and wife kept watching, it was safe Don't be too nervous.
Before the mother Tibetan fox was injured, Chen Xing always saw the mother and father of the Tibetan fox hunting in this area. There were many pikas hiding in this grass, and the pikas dug holes in all directions, and they also supported many other pikas. little animals.
It may seem that there is only a piece of grass and various flowers growing on the ground now, not like there are many living things.
However, if you have a pair of see-through eyes, or if you go directly into the cave below, you will find that there are many small animals moving in the caves extending in all directions.
However, it is impossible for small animals to live in underground holes all their lives, and they always have to look for food on the grass, such as grass and flowers. Therefore, for carnivores, they can still find ways to deal with these small animals. Animals hunt and fill their stomachs with prey.
When Chen Xing noticed that the Tibetan fox parents brought their four brothers and sisters to the area where they usually hunted, he knew in his heart that it was probably time for the four of them to start learning how to hunt with their parents.
Compared to when they were only one month old, Chen Xing's four little Tibetan foxes have obviously doubled in size, and their faces have become more and more square towards their parents. They have enough strength in their bodies to try to catch one. Pika, and what they need to do now is to learn and practice hunting skills, so that they can live independently on this grassland after they leave home as adults.
The little fights between brothers and sisters are usually helpful for learning to hunt, but the effect is not as good as the rich actual combat experience. I always have to come and face the Tibetan fox recipes such as pika and other Tibetan foxes in person. On the small animals for actual combat.
Sure enough, the actions of Tibetan Fox's parents next undoubtedly proved Chen Xing's guess.
The Tibetan fox mother watched over the four children. If there was an emergency, she could sound an early warning in time, while the Tibetan fox father set an example and prepared to show the children how it hunted.
[It seems that today the Tibetan fox couple is going to teach the four little Tibetan foxes how to hunt. ]
[Speaking of hunting, I think of the handsome figure of the Tibetan fox dad back then~]
[Little Tibetan fox is still so young, is it about to learn to hunt? Speaking of which, when will the little Tibetan fox leave his parents as an adult? ]
[About one year old, by this time tomorrow, the little Tibetan foxes should leave home and go out alone. ]
The videographer of the program group held the camera and focused on filming the Tibetan fox family in front.
When the Tibetan fox family was released yesterday, the popularity of the program group became higher and higher, and everyone loved the Tibetan fox family more and more, and more and more hoped that the program group would stay and shoot a few more episodes of the program about this family. , instead of ending directly.
It just so happened that the last episode of the program group has ended a while ago, and the subjects of the next episode have not been discussed yet. Now the popularity of watching the Tibetan fox family is so high that the audience went to the message area to strongly recommend Let them continue to stay in the plateau to shoot the Tibetan fox family.
The leaders of the program group discussed and discussed, but in the end they couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the audience, and they were going to shoot more of the Tibetan fox family as the audience said they hoped.
It happened that the last show was suddenly interrupted because of Tibetan Fox's mother's injury, and the next filming can be made up for it.
The leadership has made a decision, and the staff naturally have no objection. This time, there is no need to rush out. Just like the last time, we will set up camp near the house of the Tibetan fox family. We will be working in the field for a while now. Take a good pat, it is impossible to leave in a hurry like last time.
Early this morning, the program team noticed the animals of the Tibetan fox family and quickly photographed all their actions.
If it weren't for the early hours, the number of viewers watching the show online would only increase.
As for the situation on the program team's side, the Tibetan fox father who is going to teach the children hunting skills is not clear. The only thing he knows is that these strange humans suddenly stop near their homes, surrounded by all kinds of strange and strange people. Weird stuff.
However, the current Tibetan Fox Dad is no longer as vigilant against these strange humans as he was at the beginning. Even if he felt the stoppage of the staff of the show team, he did not interfere with the river.
As long as these humans do not pose a threat to their family, Father Tibetan Fox will not waste time and energy to drive them away.
The most important thing now is the food and clothing of his family, and he has to worry about the life skills of the cubs.
The Tibetan fox mother kept the four cubs by her side. The most calm and intelligent eldest son, Chen Xing, did not have to worry about her. The quietest little daughter was also very sensible and stayed by her mother's side. Only the two most naughty sons needed Tibetan foxes. The mother spent more time being trapped by her side, and let them concentrate on observing the posture of the father Tibetan fox in front of him when he was hunting.
Chen Xing squatted beside Tibetan Fox's mother and stared very intently at the movements of Tibetan Fox's father in front of him. If it weren't for his physical unbearableness, he would have stopped blinking at all.
After all, this is an important factor related to whether he can successfully survive on this grassland in the future.
The Tibetan fox father still behaves the same as usual when hunting, walking lightly on the grass, sniffing the surrounding odors with his sharp nose, identifying the presence of prey, and squinting his eyes to prevent being stimulated by the sunlight on the plateau. , trying hard to find the shadows of the surrounding prey.
After carefully examining it for five or six minutes, the effort paid off. With his patience, Father Tibetan Fox found the figure of an unusually plump pika.
The pika found by the Tibetan fox father is grazing at the moment, and its mouth is moving, and it looks like a rabbit. In fact, it is quite cute in the eyes of humans.
If it weren't for the fact that the protagonists of today were still the Tibetan fox family instead of this cute pika, the audience would only think that this hunting was too cruel for the pika.
However, when the protagonist of the filming is replaced by the Tibetan fox father who is a hunter, then no matter how cute this pika is, not many people will speak for this prey.
After the Tibetan fox father found the figure of the pika, his movements became lighter and lighter, for fear that a little movement would disturb the pika that was grazing and cause the action to fail.
At the same time, Father Tibetan Fox lowered his body, and let the very vigorous grass cover his figure as much as possible, so as to avoid being spotted by the pika and fleeing.
The Tibetan fox father found the prey, and made the actions that he would only have when hunting.
Chen Xing, who was staying with Tibetan Fox's mother at the back, immediately followed Tibetan Fox's father's eyes and saw the fat pika that Tibetan Fox's father was staring at.
As soon as he saw the figure of the prey, Chen Xing became more and more attentive and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Even the two little male Tibetan foxes who were a little impatient just now have finally realized how powerful they are. They don't need to be trapped by the Tibetan fox mother, they can take the initiative to calm down and watch carefully like the big brother and the little sister. Tibetan fox father in front.
In front of the four little cubs at the back, as well as countless spectators outside the camera, the picture of the Tibetan fox father hunting was clearly seen.
Father Tibetan Fox was not affected by these sights, and still focused his attention on the pika in front of him. While lowering his body to avoid making any noise, he tried to narrow the distance between him and the pika step by step.
In this process, the most important thing for a Tibetan fox father with rich hunting experience is patience.
Fortunately, the patience of the Tibetan fox father has still been deeply rewarded. He concentrates on grazing, and there is no "friend" around him who is guarding the pika. He has never noticed that there is a carnivore beside him. And step by step trying to get closer to it.
With the ignorance of the pika and the patience of Father Tibetan Fox, the distance between the two sides was gradually narrowed, and finally narrowed to a range of two or three meters.
After reaching this distance, Father Tibetan Fox stopped decisively, and began to accumulate energy all over his body, holding his breath.
The pika not far away was still chewing the grass roots in its mouth, not knowing that death was coming.
Chen Xing, who stayed by the Tibetan fox mother's side and focused on the hunting process, quickly raised his heart and became more and more nervous, hoping that the Tibetan fox father would be able to capture the prey in the next blow!
Finally, the Tibetan fox father can be considered to have accumulated strength. Taking advantage of the moment when the pika was unprepared, he immediately jumped up like a spring, and suddenly jumped to the position where the pika was.
The pika, who finally felt bad, immediately planned to escape, and planned to hide in a cave a dozen centimeters away.
Then, the pika's movements were still one step slower than the Tibetan fox father.
Before the pika jumped a step, the Tibetan fox father on this side had already rushed to the position of the pika, and his mouth had precisely bit the plump pika.
The next moment, without waiting for the pika in his mouth to bark, Father Tibetan Fox tried his best to close his mouth, and his canine teeth directly snapped the neck of the pika in his mouth.
The pika in his mouth gasped completely, and his life was lost inadvertently.
The prey in his mouth lost its breath, and the Tibetan fox father smugly took the prey to the direction of his wife and children.
Today's Tibetan fox father seems to be very happy and excited throughout the fox's emotions.
Excited not only because the pika was successfully caught, but also because today was the first time that the children were deliberately shown how to hunt, and the hunt was very successful.
This is for him, as a father, to successfully show his heroic appearance in front of the children, can he not feel happy and a little proud?
This time there were no "robbers" such as eagles, so the Tibetan fox father returned to his wife and children with the prey in his mouth very smoothly.
Throwing the pika in his mouth to the ground, Father Tibetan Fox squatted in front of the children with his head held high.
