These are two small impalas, one curled up on the ground, the other rocking from side to side in the grass. The curious cheetah quietly approached and saw clearly: the impala is pulling the dirt pit and lying down to sleep!
The cheetah is very calm, its head keeps turning left and right, its eyes, ears, and nose are adjusted to the best state at the same time, and it does not miss any clues to search for surrounding information, and confirm the impala and its surroundings. Then turned around and called, and three small cheetahs immediately ran towards the cheetah, but one ran elsewhere. It turned out that this was a female leopard taking her cubs out to feed, so she repeatedly confirmed that there was no safety hazard around the situation, and then called the four baby cheetahs hiding in the distance.
Perhaps it was the first time the baby cheetah saw other animals alive, and the three cubs were hesitant or timid to approach. The female leopard demonstrates with her mouth and constantly calls it and smears saliva on the impala, telling the baby leopard that it is food. The little leopards finally gathered the courage to approach the impala, and began to smell, grab, bite, and get excited, apparently this is the mother leopard using the impala to practice hunting for the little leopard.
The little leopard practiced more and more vigorously, using its claws and mouth together, while the leopard mother was on guard and guided. But impala didn't know what was going on.
Don't you think it's strange? The little leopard is accompanied by the leopard mother, what about the little impala's mother?
Cheetahs are carnivorous cats that inhabit temperate, tropical steppes, deserts and savannas. Adult female leopards live independently, and male leopards will hunt together to live, but some give up halfway, and some can last for a long time or even grow old together. Therefore, cheetahs are neither completely solitary nor completely social animals.
Unlike other animals, female cheetahs have no seasonality in heat, and they can do whatever they want in spring or summer. Every time they are in heat, they will spread their body fluids, and the male cheetahs in the southeast, southwest and northwest will smell the smell and rush to participate in the three-day recruitment meeting of female cheetahs. During this period, knockout rounds are staged every day, producing multiple seeded players.
At the end of the three-day period, all the male cheetahs are anxious to catch up with the next event, and the female panthers bear all the consequences alone. It will find a safe place to make a litter and give birth to 1-6 pups after 91-95 days of gestation, but 2-4 are more common. The cub weighs about half a pound when it is first born, and has silver hair on its back like the shape of "flat-headed brother", which is a protective color learned from "flat-headed brother", and will fall off and replace it when it is weaned after more than two months.
Around 45 days they began to follow the mother leopard and learn to find and identify prey, and after four months practiced climbing trees and hunting, and at the age of one they were able to hunt with the female leopard. At about 18 months of age, the baby cheetah enters the adolescence of the first emotional sinus, and will gradually open its mother, or go alone or in a group to the jungle desert to experience.
After the age of two, the cheetah weighs 50-80 kg, is 0.7-0.9 meters tall, has a long trunk length of 1-1.5 meters and a long tail of 0.6-0.8 meters, and trains into the fastest animal running on land with a speed of 115 kilometers per hour and a stride length of up to seven meters, becoming a veritable "lightning killer", and began to hold or participate in blind date conferences to reproduce.
The impala is a plantivore that lives in groups of 15-100 members led by a male. The adult impala weighs 40-60 kg, is about 75-100 cm tall, runs at 80 kilometers per hour, can jump 3 meters high and 9 meters away, so it has the nickname "Flying Antelope".
Females breed once a year from March to May for 194-200 days of gestation, giving birth to only one cub per litter and lactating for about 4-6 months.
In order to guard against natural predators, the females will meet to give birth at the same time, and each will find a safe place to hide the impala, which has just given birth to about 5 kilograms. The impala can stand in about 10 minutes, it takes 2 or 3 days to walk, and the female impala will come to feed the impala from time to time. The females then concentrate the impalas under their supervision and nursing.
Every time they arrive at a new pasture, the females will form a large circle to feed, surrounding all the impalas in a circle, allowing them to get acquainted with each other, forage, play, and practice running, jumping and escape.
The impala, who was annoyed by the little cheetah, stood up, dragged the umbilical cord, and did not escape, but burrowed under the belly of the female leopard to feed. Although the mother leopard did not show maternal love, she did not scratch it or even explicitly rejected it.
The ignorant impala, when he saw milk, thought it was his mother, only knew that he could live well with a full stomach, but he didn't know that his life no longer belonged to him. #奇妙的动物第二期 #
