Chapter 300 Great Migration!(1/2)
Serengeti, Seron Zilla.
Kitahara and Kaede put down the hand-drawn map in the vehicle and looked at the vast grassland.
In the distance are the blue mountains stretching through the mist. Breadfruit trees and acacias stand lushly at the end of the world. The emerald green grass blades on the grassland have faintly turned yellow. Not far away are groups of zebras and wildebeests.
He is lowering his head and enjoying the rare comfort of the herbivores on this grassland.
The meerkats stood up and looked around in the grass, ostriches ran in groups on the grass, the elephants comfortably ate the last branches and leaves of the wet season, and the giraffes placed their heads on the branches.
’s nap.
This is June, the beginning of the dry season.
Wildebeests are constantly gathering here, and the dense blackness spreads to the horizon like black clouds, like a precursor to the most spectacular event in the world.
"Kitahara..."
Najib sat in the car, watching all this with bright eyes. He put down the telescope he had finally found, and suddenly leaned down and whispered to Kitahara and Kaede in the car: "I never imagined——
I’ve probably never seen as many people in my life as I see wild animals today.”
"Yes, there are millions of wildebeests alone."
Kitahara and Kaede raised their heads, seemed to smile, put one arm on the steering wheel, and saw an unknown bright yellow bird flying through the leaves.
When the dry season begins, so does the Great Migration of the Serengeti. Millions of herbivores rush to the Masai Mara, a land of abundant water and green grass—and with them the meat they need to survive.
Animals, together start this vigorous pursuit of the place of survival.
The great migration on the Serengeti savanna has never stopped, but only this migration from June to August is particularly cruel, and you have to charge through the Nile crocodile level.
85% of the wildebeest will gather in Theron Zilla, accompanied by various herbivores, kicking off the great migration to the Masai Mara.
Kitahara, Kaede, and Najib hid the car in the woods, not disturbing the rest of these animals, but waiting for the large team to set off at any time.
"We can follow them when the time comes, but it's best to keep a certain distance and not drive into the herd of animals. With countless predators watching eagerly, the mother wildebeest and her calf are separated because of us, and it is very likely that they will never see each other again."
Kitahara and Kaede warned Najib in a gentle voice and raised their eyes to look at the animals in the distance.
The wildebeest herds began to make noisy "moo" sounds in response to each other. The wildebeests in a large area began to deliberately adjust their formations and placed the young wildebeests in the center of the group. The zebras seemed to notice something and loudly "bark woof".
"With that, he rushed forward.
A golden cheetah suddenly emerged from the bushes, and at great speed caught up with a young wildebeest that had not yet had time to accelerate. It wanted to bite the opponent's hind legs, but was quickly killed by the surrounding wildebeest.
He turned the corner at him aggressively.
The cheetah nimbly dodged, made a sharp turn, nimbly dodged between the cattle, and pounced directly on a Thomson's gazelle, blocking its escape path.
"Ang!" Thomson's gazelle shouted uneasily. After finding that it was surrounded by various animals, it could only make a sharp turn as dexterously as possible, trying to get rid of the predators behind it.
Although it is the second largest land vehicle with a burst speed of 80 kilometers per hour, under this situation, it has no confidence that it can outrun this dangerous hunter.
The surrounding animals relaxed a lot after realizing that the cheetah seemed not to be targeting them, and some even began to lower their heads and continue eating grass. However, the previous commotion still caused most of the animals to start moving - although not very fast.
After the Thomson's gazelle failed to escape by leaping in the end, it was still grabbed by the cheetah by the thigh, and unwillingly became the opponent's lunch. At the same time, it let out a sad and miserable wail until the cheetah bit through its thigh.
Throat.
The team had begun to move, and this area was consciously avoided by many herbivores. The cheetah looked around fiercely, and then breathed a sigh of relief when it found that no other carnivores were nearby. It bit open the fur and chewed the antelope's flesh.
Get your heart up.
The creatures on the prairie cling to each other, but are also indifferent to each other, revealing a kind of cruelty and savagery belonging to animals. In this land, there is no right or wrong, no good or evil, just to live.
"Survival" is the highest criterion in the animal world.
Najib couldn't bear to look away and did not look at the disemboweled antelope, but he did not stop it.
Kitahara and Feng also sighed slightly and drove past with the animal team.
The sound of "rumbling" sounded, which startled many herbivores, but they found that this big guy had no intention of speeding up, and there was an elephant following closely, but they still maintained their basic composure.
They don't start to run away explosively when they encounter any trouble. They also need to conserve their physical strength to face real attacks, instead of wasting their physical strength in a sudden surprise.
However, the cheetah suddenly became alert, raised its head and looked at the tall vehicle, exhaled hot breath from its mouth and nose, opened its eyes wide, and deliberately showed a vicious attitude.
"It seemed scared."
Najib moved his gaze away little by little, his eyes lightly flicking on the cheetah, and he whispered to Kitahara and Feng in a low voice.
"It's normal. Hunting by cheetahs consumes a lot of energy. Their explosive speed of 90 kilometers per hour can only be maintained for three minutes. If it takes longer, the body will collapse because it can't stand the heat of muscle exercise."
Kitahara and Kaede glanced at the cheetah, which looked a bit fierce and sinister, and answered Najib's question softly: "They need a long time to recuperate after hunting, so their prey is often snatched by lions, hyenas and wild dogs."
This is also the reason why this cheetah behaved so fiercely. It wanted to scare this strange giant away so that it could have a full meal.
——Once a cheetah fails to hunt four or five times in a row, it will face death.
The traveler thought of the sentence he had read in the book, remained silent for a while, accelerated the RV and left, leaving the cheetah to continue enjoying its hard-earned food.
After the Great Migration team started moving, more animals continued to join, and there were even many people joining in the fun: they didn't even need to migrate, but they still mingled in and looked around curiously.
There were more animals that fed on green grass. They all seemed to realize something after seeing this huge team. Just like streams flowing into rivers and seas, they all ran quickly to merge into these huge groups.
The team grew almost visibly, with millions of animals gathering together. Different colors, different races, different personalities, different languages and sounds, all pointing to a firm goal in the end.
Go to the north. Go to the other side of the Mara River. Go to the new paradise for our reproduction.
No one knew which animal was the first to run in this mighty team, but soon, all the animals started running one after another.
They faced the strong wind blowing from the north, and the fur on their bodies was blown down. The sound of their hooves hitting the earth almost made people feel that the land was trembling with the tide of life.
Wildebeests are carrying their babies beside them, little antelopes are staggeringly following their mother’s footsteps, and zebras are neighing joyfully.
At this moment, no one expended all their physical strength as if they were about to die in the next second, but instead took their steps briskly in the direction of the wind.
The wildebeest has smelled the water source.
"They're starting to run! Kitahara!"
Najib put his fingers between his brows as a roof, and looked at the animals running forward wrapped in dry season dust. He quickly got rid of the previous melancholy, his eyes lit up again, and he almost couldn't wait to shout: "
Do we have to follow--"
"certainly."
Beihara and Feng glanced at the little elephant who was still able to keep up with the troops. A smile flashed in his orange-gold eyes, dispelling the previous heaviness in his heart, and said loudly: "Then, let's set off!"
The vehicle lined up beside the herbivore, accelerating along with it, and from time to time it could not avoid the antelope that rushed past at a fast speed.
There is also an impala that leaps three meters high as if showing off.
, stretched out its long and slender legs, and flew over the vehicle with the dexterity of a bird.
"Wow..."
Najib subconsciously leaned on the top of the vehicle and watched in amazement as the elegant impala disappeared from his field of vision, blending into a large group of antelopes and never being found again.
"When it jumps up, its tail is raised!"
The boy lay on the roof of the car and stared blankly for a long time. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted with a mixture of joy and surprise: "It's really cute, Beiyuan! It's the first time I'm so close."
The Impala jumps up from the distance! It’s like it’s flying!”
"So in my hometown, it is also called impala, a flying antelope - Hi, good noon!"
Kitahara and Kaede controlled the steering wheel to turn the car, avoiding a little antelope that looked a little stunned by fright, and even said hello to each other in a friendly manner.
"Ang, Jiji?"
The little antelope tilted its head and realized that this "big animal" didn't seem to want to eat itself. It suddenly woke up and ran away quickly. However, it couldn't restrain its curiosity about this big thing and sneaked in again.
I glanced at it a few times.
"Angji?"
Kitahara and Feng blinked and called out to the little antelope. As a result, the other party was startled and ran into the team to look for their parents.
"Okay...is it that scary?"
The traveler looked at the escaping little antelope with some amusement and helplessness. He couldn't help but shake his head and continued to drive forward. Najib was laughing in his ears, his voice was soft and cheerful, as if he was shaking and colliding in the wind.
Bells and ornaments.
"Perhaps Kitahara made too many grammatical errors in your sentence, which shocked people!"
The young man stretched out his hands to prop himself up, sat upright in his seat and spoke with a smile. His dark brown eyes were slightly bent, as if they were filled with sunlight. His laughing voice even pulled away the little princess who was walking next to him.
Come in:
"Do you think so, Scheherazade?"
"Hum?" The little elephant tilted his head and looked at it. He quickly caught up with him several steps and swung his long trunk back and forth.
Although I don’t know what you are talking about, what Najib said must be right! It must be right!
This time it was Kitahara and Kaede's turn to laugh, as they understood the language of elephants. They thought these two "children" were extremely cute.
The wind came in through the windows that were not completely closed, nuzzled the traveler's neck intimately, nestled in the soft scarf, and wrapped itself around the small windmill in front of the car.
The windmill whirled in the car, and the sunlight fell on the brightly colored tinfoil, blooming with dazzling and detailed light.
"We will soon reach the Grumiti River. Beiyuan, you must be careful, there are many crocodiles in it."
