In the protected area of the Arctic, Qiao Qixi and his partner Odis spent a very leisurely and comfortable old age.
Until the end, Odis didn't have any illnesses, but died quietly while nestling next to Qiao Qixi on a snowy night.
Odis was most afraid of heat when he was alive, but Xiong was afraid of cold when he was old, especially a few months before he left, he was very sticky to Qiao Qixi.
Rolling in the snow or something is something that you will only do when you are young.
In the last winter, I stayed with Qiao Qixi all day in the log cabin. You kissed me and I kissed you. I was so happy.
When Qiao Qixi woke up and found that Odis lying beside him had gone, although he was reluctant, he had no regrets.
After all, we have been with each other for so long, we should be satisfied.
However, since Odis left, he also became incapable of life, and it didn't take long for him to survive.
It was a snowy night when I left, and it wasn't long before Odis was separated.
That night, Qiao Qixi woke up in the middle of the night, because he dreamed of Otis, he suddenly missed Otis especially. Before Otis passed away, there was no outburst of emotion, and it erupted in this snowy night.
Qiao Qixi is getting older, and his heart can't stand the heavy grief.
It is estimated that Odis couldn't even dream of it. He had guarded the petite bear for a lifetime, and finally passed away in the cry of thinking of himself alone.
It's also thanks to him that he doesn't know, otherwise it should be very distressed.
As a traveler, Qiao Qixi has thought about what she will be like after death, and will she have a next life
Probably not. After all, having two lives is already a gift from heaven. There shouldn’t be a third time, and even if there is a third time, if there is no Odis in the new life, what's the point.
However, Qiao Qixi didn't think about whether there was a third life or not at all that he had the final say.
As if he was dressed as a polar bear, he was caught off guard.
After Alexander's body functions stopped working, Qiao Qixi didn't know that he had passed away, because his consciousness was still there.
Just like a dream, Qiao Qixi knew some things, for example, he will have a third life, and when he wakes up again, he will become a lion on the grassland, and Odis will also be born on this grassland.
If the two parties are well-connected, they may still meet.
?
Is there such a good thing
Qiao Qixi was confused, not sure that he missed Otis too much, and he was so schizophrenic that he invented an illusion to comfort him.
Because if it was true, it would be incredible, but think about it, I tried it once before and changed from a human to a polar bear.
So it doesn’t seem strange to become a lion now
In the content of Qiao Qixi's "knowing", Odis was born in the prairie after leaving the North Pole and became a lion.
In other words, the other party may not remember anything.
What a pity.
Qiao Qixi, who had just received the good news, thought carefully, but his mood had changed from sadness to expectation. For the prediction that does not know whether it is true or not, let's call it prophecy for the time being.
What if it is true
…
Africa, on the grasslands south of the Sahara Desert, where one of the two major subgroups of lions lives, the African lion.
According to statistics, there are currently more than 20,000 wild African lions, a seemingly good number.
As for another subgroup, due to human hunting and environmental destruction, they only have more than 300 heads left, and they are currently kept in captivity in a protected area of more than 1,400 square kilometers.
They are Asian lions.
Once on this blue planet, the total number of lions added up to a considerable amount, because they had two subgroups and eight subspecies, which were once distributed all over the world.
However, many subspecies are now extinct or on the verge of extinction, such as the extinct Cape lion and the Barbary lion, and the now endangered Asian lion.
The rainy season of the grassland has changed people's impression of the dim and dim African savannah, and now it is so vibrant.
After ample rainfall in December and January, it nourishes the rich grassland and the green lush canopy.
The wild growth of plants makes the air fresh and moist, just like a natural oxygen bar.
The animals that inhabit this grassland, such as African buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, antelope, zebra, etc., all stroll and graze leisurely under the blue sky.
Of course, this refers to the time when no carnivores are looking at them.
As we all know, there are a group of powerful and fierce carnivores on the African grasslands. They are the familiar African lions, several kinds of leopards, hyenas, and baboons that are not well known.
When any of them appears near smaller herbivores, it is enough to cause a riot.
However, this does not include a lion group that is going to an end.
Two lean lionesses headed south on the grassland with five cubs about nine months old, in order to avoid the neighbor lions who invaded the territory.
A month ago, the lion guarding this lion group died of injury, leaving five lionesses and 13 cubs in the territory.
In order to occupy the lion group, the male lion will spare no effort to bite and kill the cubs. The three-month-old cubs have already died in the first confrontation.
The lionesses of this group of lions have a tough personality. In order to protect the remaining sub-adult cubs, they use various methods to deal with the male lions.
However, things backfired. The two lionesses who fleeed with the cubs were obviously unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities, because they had suffered a lot of injuries along the way.
Even if they can escape the attacks of other lions and their physical condition is not optimistic, it will be difficult for lionesses to hunt for the next meal to feed the five sub-adult male lions waiting to be fed.
The human team responsible for recording the activities of the lion group quietly followed this lion group that is going to extinction. Even if the worker in charge of the camera has 20 or 30 years of work experience, he has become accustomed to life and death on the grassland.
But at this moment his heart is very sad.
This lion group in front of the camera is facing decline right away, but it cannot be denied that they once had a well-known name called the Norman Family Alliance.
Anyone who pays a little attention to the African lion knows the history of the Norman family alliance.
It was once brilliant and it was one of the famous powerful alliances on the grassland.
At the beginning, it consisted of two male lions. The Twin Lions Alliance lays down a piece of land in the southern part of the grassland. When the lion group was at its peak, there were 35 lions. This is a very rare example.
After the first generation of the Norman family's two lion kings became famous on the grassland, this pair of lion kings who had always been in a good relationship left behind six very outstanding sons, forming the later six lions alliance, continuing the glory of the Norman family .
It was at this time that the whole world began to pay attention to this loving and righteous brotherhood and became their iron fan.
People were impressed by the unity and fierceness of the Six Lions, and moved by their inseparable brotherhood.
From the young sub-adult stage to the peak stage, there have been countless struggles and injuries, cheers and tears. People have accompanied these six majestic lions for ten years.
However, the fate of these six brothers in their later years was not very good. Their next generation did not have the ability to provoke the backbone. The continuation of the lion group still depends on the six brothers to support them.
After their curtain call, the third generation of the Norman family did not fall, but was no longer glorious, and even fell into a state of survival.
This period is the saddest period for the supporters of the Norman family all over the world, because the third generation is really heartbreaking.
From the very beginning, people hoped that the third generation would stand up, and later prayed that the third generation would be alive as long as there is nothing wrong with it.
Where there is life, there is hope.
The third generation does not work, then count on the fourth and fifth generations.
Despite the low requirements, the direct descendants of the Twin Lion Kings still died or disappeared one by one.
When the last two brothers of the third generation passed away, there were only five sub-adult male lions left in the Norman family. They were the fourth generation, and they were protected under their fangs by dedicated lionesses.
But now the lioness is also unsustainable.
Without the protection of the lioness, these five little male lions will undoubtedly die.
Sure enough, the two lionesses fell down during a hunt, and the sisters failed to return to the lion group smoothly.
At this time, the five little male lions became orphans. They could not hunt, and even if they were lucky enough to not encounter the invasion of foreign enemies, they could only wander on this grassland for a week at most.
The recorder took pictures of two lionesses falling down, and another five helpless little lions concealed in the grass.
Do you want to continue tracking
This is a particularly worrying process, because everyone knows that these five little lions are bound to die.
Unless there is a miracle.
However, the grassland, which has never been too peaceful, would not be too kind to these five little lions.
The camera was followed for two days, and the results were no surprise. People's record of the Norman family for more than two decades ended when these sub-adult male lions crawled exhaustedly on the grass.
This will be the last picture that people can see about the Norman family.
Very sad, but helpless.
The once glorious and powerful family announced its destruction. I don't know how sad the Norman family's supporters will be when they learn this news.
Not photographing their stiff corpses was the last thing the photographer could bear. When night fell on this grassland where the weak and the strong, the humans left this sad place.
I have to say that the lioness is very wise, and the escape direction they choose for the little lion is a trivial zone.
Several neighboring lions are busy fighting fires. No lions have noticed here for the time being, or they have noticed, but they haven't freed their hands.
It is not only the sacrificed lioness who is equally smart, but also Alexander who immigrated from the Arctic.
Yes, I was a little excited, that incredible prediction turned out to be true.
After Qiao Qixi opened his eyes again, he found that he was now a sub-adult male lion.
He is fat and strong, about three years old, and it seems that he has just left the lion group for less than half a year.
Now wandering alone on the grassland, next to the old lion group, because the lioness's personality is quite friendly, when he first came, he occasionally went back to eat and drink.
However, the existence of free food is not welcome anywhere.
Qiao Qixi spent two days with the meal of the lion group, and felt that he had to be independent and self-improvement, otherwise, how could he go out to find Otis.
Alexandre, who was determined not to squeeze rice, began to think about hunting.
"..." Oops, his head went blank.
Missing genetic memory is really a fucking thing, almost everything has to be done from scratch.
At this time, a literary sentence sounded in Qiao Qixi's mind: I have watched countless documentaries on the grassland, but I still have a bad life.
But the problem is not big. He doesn't have the hunting memory of lions, but the hunting memory of polar bears.
Generally speaking, he is already a veteran of wild survival.
Also, Qiao Qixi found that his five senses were particularly sharp, just like a polar bear, he could smell food or dangerous odors dozens of kilometers away.
Combined with human wisdom, hunting on the grassland is not difficult for him.
You can even call him a plug-in on the grassland. After all, no sub-adult male lion wandering alone can live so leisurely as him.
The most dangerous time for a single lion battle is actually not the time of hunting, but after the successful hunting, the smell of blood will cause a large number of carnivores to come and divide it up.
For example, the most notorious hyena group on the grassland, as long as there are more than three, they will not fear a single sub-adult male lion.
As for vultures or something, that's fine.
Therefore, Qiao Qixi generally hunts smaller herbivores and leaves after eating quickly.
This lion, which has the habit of polar bears, likes to hunt for food before it rains, because rain can wash away the blood and cover up the spread of smell.
This way he can take the prey back to where he slept and eat it slowly.
Qiao Qixi was pulling an overweight highhorn antelope in his mouth. This was really an accident. Originally, he wanted to catch a gazelle, because there was too much meat and he couldn't finish it. The gazelle was just right in size.
But the world is unpredictable. This high-horned antelope stepped on his trap, and he could only fall into the well and kill the opponent.
Taking a shortcut back to the nest in the rain, Qiao Qixi saw a nest of little lions in the grass that had been soaked by the rain.
He just glanced at it, and he continued to squeeze the food back into his nest without saving it. Why should he save it
The weak and the strong eat, life and death are at stake.
This is the cruel animal world.
But if you want to raise cubs, it's another matter.
Qiao Qixi has always wanted to raise cubs, now the opportunity has come, it is a litter of cubs without parents.
Hehehehehehe.
So fate is really strange, he failed to raise cubs in the North Pole, but he raised cubs on the grassland.
Qiao Qixi returned to the grass and took the weak lions back into their den one by one.
At this time he started to miss Xiao Huang, and if Xiao Huang was there, he could take them both at once.
Xiao Huang:? ? ? I am retired, thank you!
Alexander's den is in a recessed position under a stone mountain.
This orientation avoids the rain well.
Moreover, he dug a drainage ditch earlier, so the nest is very dry.
There are five lions in total. When Qiao Qixi helped them lick their bodies, they found that they were five male lions.
They were less than one year old, and some of the spots on their bodies hadn't finished, obviously they were quite small.
But I must have given up milk, because the baby teeth are growing very gratifyingly.
What surprised Qiao Qixi was that there was a white lion among the five little lions.
And it looks the thinnest, so the rumors on the grassland are really good, and the white lion's chances of surviving are very small.
If this white lion had not encountered a miracle, he would have gone to see the king now.
In fact, not only the white lion, all the cubs have a low survival rate, and their mortality rate is as high as 80%.
So despite the fact that there are so many cubs in the lion group, there are actually very few who can survive.
Of course, the elites who survived in the end.
Qiao Qixi licked clean hair to the little lions, and found that although these little lions were weak, they still had the desire to survive.
So he tore apart the antelope skin and chewed some minced meat for them to eat.
The cubs, who were so hungry that they passed out, smelled the smell of blood, and they all struggled to get up to eat.
Qiao Qixi looked at the weakest white lion, and was a little worried that the other party could not support it, so he eccentrically opened a small stove.
Fortunately, this little white lion could still open his mouth and swallow, and under the forced feeding, he ate some minced meat.
This eating lasted a long time.
When the little lions regained some strength, they lay down beside the food to eat, eagerly with some restraint, as if they were worried that this strange lion would hurt them.
It is the nature of the cubs that they naturally understand the nature of avoiding immediately when encountering an unfamiliar lion.
But the temptation of food is too great, these few hungry little lions, where are they willing to leave.
So I can only eat eagerly while being vigilant, from the anxiety at the beginning to the gorging on later.
It only took about 10 minutes.
Qiao Qixi didn't care about them, and was only responsible for feeding the white lions who were already incapable of action.
After Jomo was almost fed, he warmed the opponent's already slightly cool body around him.
Although the white lion has a bad fate, if it can survive, it must be a leader on the grassland.
Qiao Qixi was looking forward to it. It would be great if he could make this litter of young lions survive. Of course he knew that the ending would be difficult.
There used to be a legend on the grassland. Two sturdy lionesses fed 8 cubs and brought all the 8 cubs to the age of independence. This is truly a legend, a legend that cannot be surpassed.
Qiao Qixi licked the weak white lion in his arms and thought with great ambition, if there was a male lion on the grassland feeding five little lions.
Isn't that, to set a new record
At this time, the white lion opened his eyes in Qiao Qixi's arms. The first thing he felt weak was an unfamiliar lion scent.
Frightened and uneasy, vigilant and doubtful, various emotions may swarm and occupy the heart of this sub-adult white lion.
He should have struggled to leave here immediately, but the warm embrace seemed to have returned to his mother's arms. It was a memory that he had not enjoyed several times in his childhood but had a deep memory.
Indeed, compared to other brothers, the White Lion may be treated very little.
Some may even be killed at birth.
Qiao Qixi lowered his head and found that the little lion in his arms had opened his eyes and was staring at him at the moment.
The eyes are pretty.
Qiao Qixi: Hello, little lion, isn't it surprising
In other words, the face of this young lion is very good, and the facial features are very good and handsome. Except for this white lion, the other four are only yellow fur. It is not difficult to imagine that it will grow light brown brown hair as an adult.
Of course, they haven't grown out yet, and these sub-adults are still very young and cute.
Qiao Qixi chewed up some antelope meat, and the white lion who had been fed had a strong desire to survive.
He had to accept it.
This unfamiliar male lion acted like a mother, which gradually reduced the white lion’s fear of the male lion, and at the same time increased more doubts and curiosity.
Encountered a rare meal, the other four little lions ate desperately until they filled their stomachs, and then reluctantly gave up the unfinished antelope.
After simply cleaning up their paws and faces, the four brothers huddled together in the corner. The four green faces looked full of panic and anxiety.
And they are tired.
In addition to fear in the horrified eyes, there are more sleepy eyes.
Everyone knew that they should leave here as soon as possible, but looking at the strange male lion, the cubs were afraid to return, but they still stayed in this nest full of the smell of the lion.
Because they know that the outside world is not safer than here.
The brothers tasted the long-lost feeling of fullness and warmth here, which made the little lions who lacked enough survival experience to fall into ambivalence.
But none of them chose to leave.
After all, the life of drifting away is so fearful, they are greedy for the sense of security at this moment, and finally can't hold back to fall asleep.
When one fell asleep, it would drive the other. Finally, less than 20 minutes later, the four little male lions huddled together and all fell asleep.
The white lion, who was eating intermittently, eventually tilted his head and fell asleep between Qiao Qixi's paws.
