In nature's cruel food chain, leopards are top predators, and their hunting behavior is a survival instinct.
When a leopard successfully captures a rabbit, it usually uses a series of highly effective strategies to deal with its prey.
First, the leopard will use its strong front paws to pin the rabbit firmly to the ground, ensuring that the prey cannot escape.
This display of strength is one of the leopard's unique hunting techniques as a cat. In this way, they can quickly subdue their prey and reduce unnecessary chasing and energy consumption.
Next, the leopard will use its sharp teeth to tear open the rabbit's skin and flesh.
This process requires precise control and strong bite force to ensure that the rabbit's skin and muscle tissue can be quickly penetrated. Leopards' teeth are well designed to tear meat, and their fangs and canines can easily cut through the skin and flesh of their prey.
Once the rabbit's skin is torn off, the leopard will begin tearing out the rabbit's meat and internal organs.
This process also requires great skill and strength, because the leopard needs to separate the rabbit's muscles and internal organs while avoiding swallowing too many bones or other difficult-to-digest parts. The leopard will carefully select the most nutritious and easily digestible parts to meet its high energy needs.
Throughout the hunt, leopards demonstrate the instincts and skills of a top predator. Their survival depends on this efficient hunting and food handling method.
So, even if you are eating a golden monkey, you can find the remains.
With an uneasy mood, when Su Ran entered the cave, the scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide.
The drone did not take pictures of the situation inside the cave at the first time, but instead recorded Su Ran's surprised expression first.
Such a dramatic scene made the audience anxious.
"No, was this done intentionally by the anchor, or was it an accident by the drone?"
"The drone indicated it was being careless on purpose."
"So what happened in there? Did Brother Su see the dead body of the little monkey?"
"No way, don't scare me."
"Just look at Brother Su's expression and you'll know why it's impossible."
However, the next second, a smile instantly appeared on Su Ran's face.
The audience was stunned.
Then they became happy again.
The drone camera was pointed into the cave, and under the illumination of a low-gear light, a little golden monkey was lying inside.
And next to it, there are two little Siberian leopards.
The two little guys were squinting their eyes, and when they opened their eyes stimulated by the lights, their big watery eyes directly caught the audience's attention.
"So...so cute."
"Oh my god, this is on par with the little monkey."
“I feel like these baby animals are all very cute.”
"…Do you think Haozi was cute when he was little?"
"I meant mammals."
"So do you think you were pretty when you were little?"
"..."
The barrage was speechless for a moment.
Until someone said, "I was ugly when I was little. But I've grown up now."
The little golden monkey is still resting, probably still in a sweet dream.
Su Ran was originally filled with worry, fearing that the precious golden monkey had met with an accident and was eaten by the Siberian leopard. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, his worries instantly vanished.
Not only did the golden monkey not become food for the Amur leopard, but it also found its own place in this new environment.
It looks so comfortable, as if this is its home.
What is even more surprising is that the golden monkey's hands and feet naturally rested on the back of the little Northeast Leopard when it fell asleep. This scene is both warm and harmonious. The way these three little guys - the golden monkey and the little Northeast Leopard get along with each other completely overturned Su Ran's inherent understanding of the relationship between wild animals.
Rather than showing the tension between predators and prey, they appear more like a family, living together happily.
Su Ran was deeply shocked by this scene of harmonious coexistence.
Soon, the little golden monkey was also woken up.
The moment it saw Su Ran, it excitedly ran to its feet and asked for a hug.
Because the height inside the cave was only half of Su Ran's height, he could only lower his head. It was very inconvenient to hold the golden monkey. When he carried the little guy out, he carefully checked its body.
"It's great that you're still alive and well, without any missing limbs."
Su Ran lifted the golden monkey above his head. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto the monkey's body, making it sparkle. The outer circle of its golden hair seemed to be covered with a halo.
"I'll take you back now."
After finally finding the little guy, Su Ran felt that the most urgent thing was to take it away from this dangerous place.
At least, he couldn't be completely sure what the adult Siberian leopard thought of the little golden monkey.
go back?
Although the furry golden monkey could not understand Su Ran's words, the smart little guy could vaguely see a special emotion.
It probably knows what its owner is thinking.
Looking back at the cave, the golden monkey found that his two friends were missing.
Su Ran felt something pulling his legs.
He looked down and found that the two little Siberian leopards had bitten his trouser legs on both sides and kept pulling them, as if they were strongly accusing him of what he was doing.
“Does the little leopard want the anchor to return the golden monkey to them?”
“Ah ...
One of the little leopards even stood up and howled at Su Ran with its mouth wide open.
However, because Yuangu was so young, his cry had no intimidating power at all, but instead sounded quite cute and childish.
At this moment, Su Ran noticed a burst of rapid footsteps coming from behind him.
The adult Amur leopard is back.
Perhaps it sensed that there was an intruder here, so it ran towards its nest at an extremely fast speed.
His eyes were sharp and majestic. When the Siberian leopard came behind Su Ran, it was ready to attack at any time.
However, Dahei is not a vegetarian either.
In terms of size, Dahei is only slightly different from this adult Amur leopard.
As a male wild wolf, Dahei is still better than this female leopard in fighting ability.
Just when the situation was tense, the golden monkey in Su Ran's arms struggled and jumped down.
Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and was surprised to see that the little golden monkey actually took the initiative to walk towards the mother leopard.
The female leopard's eyes were no longer aggressive when facing the little golden monkey, and suddenly became gentle.
After the mother leopard leaned over and squatted, the little golden monkey also lay on its neck and used its little hands to help it clean the dirt under its hair.
As a mediator between Su Ran and the mother leopard, the two creatures across species gave up their hostility towards each other because of the same little guy.
"It seems... I was wrong from the beginning."
"This Siberian leopard is actually the mother of the little golden monkey." (End of this chapter)
