Living together?
Cyrus had a momentary heartbeat. If he lived with Parzin Jarlow, both in terms of food and safety, he would be more secure than living alone with two cheetahs on the prairie.
But Cyrus didn't immediately agree, and things weren't that simple.
Male cheetahs without blood ties may form alliances and live together for some reason, but they have never heard of alliances helping each other raise children.
Moreover, as the cheetah grows up, its appetite will also increase, and it is now the dry season with food scarcity. Calvin and Charlie are likely to become a burden on each other. In addition, there is already a competitive relationship between them and Parzin and Jarlow, with food and spouse being potential trigger points for conflicts. There is no blood relationship between them as a lubricant.
Perhaps this is a bit worrisome. Parzin and Jarlow can accept Cyrus, not necessarily Calvin and Charlie, but Cyrus is unwilling to take risks.
Cyrus rubbed the chubby belly of the cheetah with his paws while shaking his head.
Cyrus's refusal surprised Parzin a bit. Jarlow flicked his tail, but his brother refused to listen and had already told him that as a beast, being reserved and implying something was simply not appropriate. Sure enough, they didn't understand what the brothers meant by living together.
"Don't think about it again?"
"No, thank you very much for your kindness." Cyrus lay down on the grass, looking lazy. The big cat, who was full, looked very harmless.
Parzin did not continue to inquire, but he did not intend to stop there. Since the evolved cheetah did not understand his meaning, it was better to be straightforward. Perhaps Jarlow was right. Since it was a beast, let's follow its rules.
Jarlow watched as Parzin stood up and walked up to Cyrus. Subconsciously, the two brothers had been together since birth, and their understanding of each other had penetrated deep into their bones.
It seems that his brother no longer intends to play the subtle game.
"What's wrong?" Cyrus lifted his head, his two little cheetahs in his arms already drowsy, unaware of Parzin and Jarlow's approach. Cyrus noticed a change in Parzin's attitude and looked into his amber eyes, suddenly feeling a sense of unease.
Cyrus stood up at the fastest speed, woke up two little cheetahs, and made them run away quickly,.
"Parzin?"
Parzin remained silent as he slowly approached Cyrus, slightly lowering his head. He seemed to be staring at the prey, but the hair on the back of his neck did not stand up, and his gaze did not show any killing intent. Cyrus inexplicably felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment.
The two little cheetahs also noticed an unusual atmosphere at the moment. They ignored Cyrus's tail wagging suggestion and stood firmly beside him, raising the fur on their necks and making bird like calls to Parzin and Jarlow.
Parzin ignored them, but Jarlow chuckled and said, "Well, although this evolutionary species is a bit unique and strange, he really didn't raise these two offspring in vain.".
Just like this, how do you look, how do you feel like you want to rub it on the ground.
Cyrus instinctively stood in front of two cheetahs, staring closely at Parzin. He didn't understand what Parzin wanted to do, but he inexplicably felt the danger.
Finally, Parzin spoke up and said, "Since you don't understand my suggestion, let me be direct."
Hmm?
Cyrus just moved his ear and got a paw from Parzin on his body. The other party is very measured, with just the right amount of strength, which can make him feel pain but won't hurt him.
Why hit him?!
Seeing Cyrus still not understanding, Parzin knocked Cyrus's paw again. Cyrus instinctively wanted to hide, but suddenly remembered the two little cheetahs being blocked behind him. He could only forcefully hit them and lay on the ground.
The two cheetahs instinctively began to hide in the grass, but Parzin and Jarlow ignored them. Parzin jumped up high, continuously tapping Cyrus with his tail and claws. Cyrus flipped over and stood up, but was pushed to the ground by Jarlow behind him.
"What the hell are you doing? Do you want to fight?!"
Cyrus is angry, is this an alternative form of bullying?
"Fighting?" Parzin stopped his movements and stood next to Cyrus, looking at Cyrus who was forced to lie on his side. He lowered his head and licked Cyrus's mouth, saying, "No, how could I want to fight you? I'm pursuing you."
What?!
Cyrus suddenly perked up his ears. Did he have any hearing problems?
"Are you joking?"
"No," Parzin seemed to find Cyrus' current appearance very amusing, continuing to lick him and generally saying, "I don't like to joke."
Pursuing him? He was clearly beating him up! And it's two against one!
Jarlow joined the fun and patted Cyrus's hind legs with his paws. He lowered his head and sniffed, but Parzin gave him a warning glare before taking a step back and saying, "You're also male. Don't you know how to pursue a girl?"
When Jarlow talked about the girl, Cyrus suddenly remembered the scene when he met Sheeta before...
I #￥erwrtew! Cyrus swore, pushing Parsen away with his front paw and shouting, "I'm male!"
"I know you're male." Parzin didn't care about Cyrus' rejection at all. He simply gave Cyrus another paw. "So, I'm just courting you and want to mate with you."
Begging for love, mating, is that all?!
Cyrus was extremely angry He kicked Jarlow with his behind legs and scratching Parzin with his front paws While the brothers Dodged, Cyrus turned over and stock up, showing at Parzin, "Your grandfather's class! I don't want to mate with you! Go away!"
The sudden outbreak of Cyrus startled Parzin and Jarlow. Before they could come to their senses, Cyrus had already transformed into a human form, picked up two equally frightened cheetahs, and quickly ran into the tall grass, leaving only a silhouette in an instant.
Fortunately, he remembered the lesson from last time and resolutely did not run naked.
Jarlow licked the corner of his mouth and asked, "Brother, won't you chase after me?"
"..."
"Speaking of which, it's Sheeta's younger brother. It's spicy enough, I like it!"
"..."
"Don't look at me like that, can't you just make a joke?"
"..."
"Really, I swear! I only like panther girls!"
Parzin turned his head, forget it, let him go this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Jarlow secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his brother was a quiet one who made a splash when he spoke up.
Cyrus ran a distance and saw Parzin and Jarlow not chasing after him, leaning against a tree and gasping for breath.
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Well, it's okay."
Cyrus put Calvin and Charlie down, patted the heads of the two little cheetahs, and cursed angrily: This world of pit fathers, damn big cats!
Just as Cyrus returned on the road with two cheetahs, the Orus lion pack was feasting around the giraffe.
This giraffe is enough for the entire lion pack to eat for a week. Although they can hunt water buffalo during the dry season, who wouldn't want to save some effort and enjoy a free meal compared to those sharp horns and cow hooves?
When the mother lions are full, they rest under the shade of a nearby tree and nurse their little lions. The little lions have already started eating meat, but the lactation period of the lion cubs is as long as six to seven months. Moreover, the mother lions breastfeed together, and the mother lions in the same group do not mind whose child is breastfeeding.
Of course, older lions always dominate, and if the age difference is too great, it is difficult for younger lions to grab milk. Fortunately, two-thirds of the female lions in the Orus lion pack are now able to breastfeed, which greatly increases the chances of survival for the young lions. Since entering the dry season, the lionesses have always tried their best to feed themselves and their cubs. Although some cubs still died, thirteen of them have successfully survived to this day, which has not been in vain.
"Shana, where's Orus?" Rosa asked while playing with the cub with her tail.
"I went chasing hyenas."
Shana flipped over and lay on the grass, with two little lions drinking milk while falling asleep.
"What are you looking for him for?" Teeny walked over and lay down next to Rosa. "Anyway, he'll come back on his own when he's hungry."
"That's right."
"Damn it, those vultures are here again."
"It's okay, Hona will drive them away."
Rosa yawned and felt drowsy.
Since the new hyena leader Nabi was killed by Orus, the entire hyena pack has completely fallen into chaos, with evenly matched female hyenas refusing to yield to each other, and the population is in danger of disintegration.
Orus will not miss this great opportunity, a new round of slaughter and expulsion has begun again.
