Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence.
Cyrus didn't explode or resist. He complied with the leopard Monty's wish and rolled. Not only Cyrus rolled, but also the two little cheetah cubs rolled together into two furry balls. However, they rolled a bit far away. Before the leopard Monty could react, Cyrus turned over and got up, planning to escape with the two little cheetah cubs.
May wishes be good, reality is cruel.
The result of insufficient starting distance is that even if Cyrus and the two little cheetah cubs accelerate to the limit in an instant, they are still bitten by Monty. Monty didn't bite the two little cheetah cubs, he aimed at Cyrus's tail and bit it, without biting it to bleed, but it really hurts.
Cyrus is honest and doesn't dare to run anymore.
Monty held Cyrus down with his paws and looked up at him, his gaze like he was saying, "Little sample, are you running? Run again?"? No matter how much you run, you can't escape the Lord's claws!
Cyrus looked helplessly at the two frightened cheetahs and could only hold his breath and ask, "What exactly do you want?"
"I didn't think much of it, I didn't say it. I thought you were rolling cute and wanted you to roll another one." Monty stepped on Cyrus' belly with his paws and said in a friendly tone to Cyrus, "Be good, roll one. Roll well, I'll let you go."
Cyrus thought angrily, "Why is the cheetah skin brittle and blood thin?"?! I'll go!
Why aren't cheetahs good at fighting?! Get lost again!
Why are these guys bullying cheetahs?! Keep rolling!
Cyrus clenched his paws and rolled on the ground several times like a domestic cat, covered in dirt. Monty was satisfied. He finally showed great compassion and withdrew his claws. However, before letting Cyrus go, a pearl chicken was deducted, which is called a toll.
"Hunting in my territory, you have to leave something behind, right? Also, you can come back in the future."
Cyrus was angry, but also helpless. He could only pick up the remaining two guinea fowls and flee with two little cheetahs. He swore that he would never step into this canyon again unless all the prey in other places had died!
Monty kindly reminded Cyrus later, "Remember to pluck the feathers before eating the pearl chicken."
Cyrus, who was running rapidly, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Monty climbed up the fig tree with a pearl chicken in his mouth. Although he didn't lack food, he just found the cheetah's reaction interesting. Perhaps this is the nature of feline animals. Whether it's a big cat or a small cat, if they catch them, they won't let go if they don't enjoy playing.
While Monty was dozing on the fig tree, a smaller female leopard strolled leisurely under the tree, looked up, and saw the tail hanging between the branches, saying, "Monty, did you just let that cheetah go?"
She had been hiding behind a rock, thinking that Monty would kill the three cheetahs that had invaded her territory, but she didn't want to see what had just happened.
"Beatrice?" Monty looked down and then lazily leaned back onto the branch. "Don't you think that evolutionary species is very interesting?"
Indeed. Beatrice does not deny this, the male cheetah with its cubs is very interesting from any perspective. But Monty's performance is not just due to this, is it?
"Just because of this," Monty's light golden eyes explored as he looked at the male leopard lying on the tree
"That has nothing to do with you."
Monty's voice did not fluctuate, and then he threw a guinea fowl under the tree and said, "Here you are. Just ignore what happened earlier."
Looking at the pearl chicken on the ground, Beatrice can be completely certain that Monty has developed a strong interest in the evolved cheetah itself, not because of his uniqueness.
The territorial division of leopards is different from that of lions. A male leopard has an extremely vast territory, while most female leopards establish their territory within the territory of male leopards. Usually, female leopards will mate with the owner of their territory, and the offspring will inherit their mother's territory or establish their own territory nearby, while the young male leopards will be driven away. Of course, the time a male leopard can occupy a territory is also limited. They either die naturally, or are driven away or killed by newcomers. Just like lions, only females are the true owners of territory
Monty is very strong. He drove away the male leopard from this territory two years ago and took possession of it. At that time, he had just reached adulthood. There were originally five female leopards living here, all of whom were very young. Three of them had just inherited their territory from their mother for a short time. They yearn for mating and raising young, but the new owners of this territory are very uncooperative!
No matter how smooth and charming the female leopards' fur is, Monty just isn't moved. The female leopards wouldn't give up, and the result of taking turns to approach him is that Monty got tired of hiding. This made the female leopards very angry.
They couldn't drive him away, and no other male leopards would enter here, and Monty was such an attitude. If the conditions allowed, the female leopards all wanted to force themselves on him. They all had some bad guesses. Could this male leopard, who looked strong and mighty, be impotent?
Fortunately, a year later Monty was finally willing to mate with the female leopards, but compared to the three minute heat of other male leopards, he didn't even have a minute. The rainy season has passed, and only two little leopards have been born in the territory! Whether they can survive this dry season is still unknown.
The female leopards had another concern. Could it be that this male leopard was not impotent, but sexually apathetic? Although they didn't mind the male leopard's cold attitude. To be honest, they were all used to being alone. Male leopards had nothing to do with raising children. Even if Monty wanted to, they wouldn't be happy. Once they saw Monty appear within a few hundred meters of the cubs, they might even rush up to fight. But that didn't mean they were willing to not be satisfied when they needed it!
Three female leopards have abandoned their territory here and gone elsewhere. One of the two female leopards left behind has planned to move away, only Beatrice, who still needs to stay here to raise her two cubs.
Until today, Beatrice realized that Monty was not at all what they had guessed. Damn him for not lifting, damn his sexual coldness!
Even though she was full of anger, Beatrice wouldn't hold a grudge against food. She still had two cubs to feed. Holding the guinea fowl in her mouth, Beatrice walked away in big steps. When her children grew up, she would leave too! Male leopards with four legs were everywhere in the grassland!
Monty was still lying on the fig tree, squinting his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Cyrus ran with two cheetahs all the way and stopped by a golden acacia tree. The two little cheetahs were so tired that they couldn't speak. Cyrus held the two cheetahs in his arms, one licking, the other licking, and the two guinea fowls that had been carried all the way here, as if they had been forgotten.
Just as Cyrus and two cheetahs thought they could let go, a lioness suddenly burst into their sight. Cyrus has an impression of this lioness, who is the lady who recently snatched the impala from the vulture's mouth. She looks slimmer and a bit messy. Her goal is obviously those two guinea fowls.
The lioness walked towards Cyrus and two cheetahs without stopping. The little cheetah, who had just run out of breath, could no longer have the strength to escape.
Cyrus stood in front of two cheetahs, lowered his head, raised the hair on his neck, and made a threatening gesture towards the lioness.
The lioness seems indifferent to this, it's just a cheetah.
Cyrus finally got angry. The little cheetah must have something to eat today, otherwise they might starve to death tomorrow! The leopard is just teasing him, but this lioness will take the life of his child! The young male cheetah couldn't bear it anymore and charged towards the lioness.
The lioness had no expectation that the male cheetah would charge towards her, looking fierce and imposing. She is not as calm as she appears. She is currently in the territory of a strange lion pack, and if she catches the attention of the lion pack here, she will definitely be in danger.
Seeing Cyrus, who disregarded his desperate attitude, the lioness became timid and immediately turned around to run away.
Cyrus's adventure worked, he saved his food and also protected two cheetahs. But the young cheetah dad is not happy. Even a bit disheartened. If he were stronger, would he still be bullied like this?
"Dad?"
Calvin rubbed Cyrus's front leg, and Cyrus lowered his head to lick Calvin's ears. He perked up and said to the two cheetahs, "Come, let's eat!"
