Chapter 880: Abundant Predators

Lions and hyenas followed the zebras and attacked them. Soon, they made gains in the vast herd of zebras.

A vigorous lioness pounced on a sub-adult zebra, grabbed its buttocks and climbed up, biting the skin and flesh on its back, knocking the zebra to stagger.

However, the size and weight of a zebra are much larger than that of a lioness. The zebra bitten on the back did not stop, but dragged the lioness forward in the burst of life and death.

The zebras next to them were frightened and moved away from their companions. None of them dared to help.

No matter what kind of animal it is, sub-adults have basically left their parents and live alone, and their parents will naturally not appear.

This sub-adult zebra is isolated and helpless.

Bifang, who was standing in the distance, tensed his muscles unconsciously, and was ready to run away at any time while watching the excitement.

In these short ten seconds, the distance between him and the zebras was shortened a little, but only about seventy or eighty meters, almost close to the face.

But Bifang was also unwilling to leave directly.

The scene in front of me is so rare.

A good photographer will never climb to the top of the mountain and see the sunrise without raising his camera.

[It's over, this zebra is going to rest]

[Too brutal]

[Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, whether brothers can have enough food depends on this meal today]

[Lao Fang is really brave, you raised the lion group? Dare to take such a close shot? ]

[I am the king of beasts! ! Meow~~~]

[Harley was stunned, is this thing in the same department as me? ]

The zebra that was dragged down was extremely conspicuous in the whole fast-moving group, just like a huge stubborn rock rising in the rushing river, dividing the advancing water flow and stirring up white waves on both sides.

With the help of the first lioness, the lions behind quickly caught up and pounced on the zebra one after another.

Two of them completely imprisoned it in place, unable to move. The third one bit the zebra's neck and, under the action of inertia, knocked the huge sub-adult zebra to the ground.

The winner was decided.

The audience in front of the screen knew clearly that the zebra, which was pressed by the lion, could not make much waves.

More and more lions came up and surrounded the zebra. They were all yellow hair, and it was almost impossible to see the black and white stripes through the analysis between the lions.

"Lions usually live in groups. A lion group has about 8 to 30 members, an average of 17. This lion group is not small, with more than ten lions. If they all come up, the zebra cannot escape."

Bifang took a look and moved his eyes to other places.

The hyena group on the other side also had its own method. Several spotted hyenas inserted into the torrent of zebras like sharp knives, using the natural fear of herbivores to successfully cut out a small piece of rapids and trapped several zebras in it.

The stronger one tried to break out, but the hyenas tried to deal with it a few times. After realizing its strength, they opened the encirclement and let it go.

In the end, only two zebras, one old and one young, were left in the encirclement, and they were unable to break out of the encirclement.

The hyenas gathered around and circled around the zebras under the command of the leader. This scene was not very similar to the previous attack on Bifang, but it was exactly the same.

The drone was close, and some viewers recognized at a glance that two of them were old acquaintances. They were the hyenas that tried to besiege Bifang last night!

There was no other reason, but the scabby hair on the back was the most sufficient evidence!

Being scalded by the boiling water would not kill the spotted hyena with thick fur, and it was not even a big injury. It could continue to participate in hunting activities the next day, but some hair loss was inevitable, just like scabby.

[Hyenas have lost their right to choose a mate]

[Wow, I didn't expect to see them again]

[Were there only eight yesterday? How come there are so many today? There must be at least dozens of them here, right?]

"Hyenas have considerable freedom under the premise of living in groups. They often come and go alone, hunt alone, and eat by themselves."

"Members of a group are often not together for a long time."

Bifang stared at the hunting scene in the distance and saw someone asking a question in the barrage, so he explained.

"Once spotted hyenas meet again, they can naturally act as a member of the group, which reflects their social gregariousness."

"Sometimes when there are many reunions, the group is larger, with dozens of them possible. When there are few reunions, the group is smaller, with twos and threes."

[I see]

[So, is there a super large group of hyenas here? 】

"That's right. Each group of spotted hyenas has its own sphere of influence, which is generally about 20 square kilometers."

"They strictly guard their sphere of influence and do not allow other groups of spotted hyenas to invade. If there is a cross-border phenomenon, the two sides will confront each other or even conflict, but this kind of fighting is rare."

"When a group of hyenas chases prey to the territory of another group of spotted hyenas, if the number of the other group is larger, this group of hyenas will give the prey they have hunted to the other group. Once the hyenas leave their territory more than 1,000 meters away, they will lose their sense of security."

"We have not changed the location of the camp since last night, so the eight hyenas obviously belong to the large group of spotted hyenas in front of us. It is normal for them to surround the zebra group when it passes through."

I am a member of it, so it is not surprising to see it again.

The hyenas surrounded the two zebras. After a simple front and back assault, it seemed that they had reached a critical point. The entire hyena group rushed forward and bit the prey's stomach, neck, limbs and all parts of the body at the same time.

When the entire zebra group rushed past, only a few spots were left on the entire open grassland, scattered on the wilderness.

The center of the spots was the fallen zebra or ostrich, and the hyenas, leopards or lions extended outward.

The crossing of zebras is naturally a carnival for carnivores.

Not only lions and spotted hyenas, but also leopards came to share a piece of the pie, and grabbed an ostrich mixed in the zebra group.

The members of the zebra group are relatively friendly, and often mix with herbivores such as ostriches, giraffes, and antelopes. They live together, share the same food, and use each other and exchange information to avoid strong enemies.

For leopards, zebras are too big, and hunting alone is easy to fail, so they aim at some less sturdy creatures mixed in the zebra group.

In addition to these three, there are also African wild dogs that have nothing to gain, wandering outside a few spots.

They are not willing to leave without catching prey, and are ready to eat some leftovers after the big brothers and the second brothers have finished eating.

These special wild dogs with big and round ears and black spots on their bodies often weigh more than 20 or 30 kilograms. They are not small in size, and they are the size that ordinary people will be scared of. In addition to the advantage of numbers, they are also a force that cannot be ignored on the grassland.

It’s a pity that in front of lions, spotted hyenas, and leopards, they can only restrain their claws and wait quietly for one of them to finish eating first and leave the cold rice.

"The temperature on the prairie is not too cold, food is not easy to preserve, and the predators have a long feeding cycle. They usually cannot finish eating in one meal, and it is often several carnivores on the food chain who work together to finish it."

Bifang originally planned to leave immediately, but the first and second brothers of the prairie had harvested, and the most threatening one was gone, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

"Carnivores rarely attack the enemy when they are full, so we can be said to be in a safe state now. It's okay even if we get closer. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke and compete for food, lions and hyenas will not care about you."

Under the audience's concern, Bifang moved a little closer, so close that he seemed to hear the sound of hyenas biting bones.

The screams of the zebras mixed with the excited howls of the spotted hyenas were creepy.

[Damn, I can hear goose bumps]

[This thing is too scary]

[A lot of blood]

[Fuck, what is that guy doing, he started to put the cylinder together! 】

【My goodness, my butt is a little cold】

Bifang laughed and said: "The call of the zebra itself is very unpleasant, just like the bray of a donkey, and it is even more hoarse in the face of death."

"The spotted hyena is no less than that."

"On the African savannah, after nightfall, there will be creepy howling sounds from the depths of the savannah, which are hyenas hunting prey or fighting each other."

"Spotted hyenas can make more than ten kinds of calls, because this is very important for their survival."

"Spotted hyenas, who often move at night, must rely on different calls to strengthen the connection between group members."

"But these calls are almost all very strange, especially once they find food or are in heat, the strong call they make is even more terrifying."

"So much so that some places have spread the absurd legend that as long as it appears in human settlements, it will bring death."

The hyenas that caught the zebra gathered together, like a group of playful children, noisy and unusually lively.

And they kept using their ears and tails to transmit information to each other, and used calls to communicate with each other, and even some sounds could be heard that sounded like "laughter".

All of this proved that what Bifang said was true.

"The two calls themselves are creepy, and the general environment is that the zebra is about to die, which must be scary."

[Already panicking]

[It's really like the god of death]

[There's blood down there]

[Why do you like to put the jar together so much]

[Didn't Fang Shen say that he likes to eat internal organs, have you forgotten? ]

[Oh, I remember]

"In fact, compared to wildebeests, bisons, and gazelles, zebras can be said to be a very good source of food."

"It's not as strong as wildebeests and bisons, and it doesn't have horns on its head, so you don't have to worry about it being disemboweled by a collision."

"Compared with gazelles that can easily run at speeds of 70 or 80, zebras that run at only 50 or 60 are much slower, and they are also larger in size and easier to get full."

While watching from the side, Bifang also explained some information to the audience.

"Of course, the most crucial point is that zebras have no leader!"

[No leader? ]

[Really?]

[Fuck, isn't it a social animal? ]

Bifang nodded: "Yes, as a social animal, it has no leader, which means that each of them is independent and no one listens to anyone else."

"This is relatively rare in the animal world, which means that once in danger, the entire zebra group will not have a leader to coordinate, and all members of the group will flee in all directions and will not form an effective resistance."

"Others, such as wildebeests and bison, are small in number. Once in danger and unable to flee, they may gather together under the leadership of the leader to resist the enemy together."

"A typical example is the musk oxen we encountered in the Arctic. They are like this."
