In such a harsh desert as The Namib, the chance of survival is already very low, but the desert residents have their own survival tricks: some rely on the wise leadership of the leader, some practice group life, and there is a tenacious mammal that survives in a team - the fox family survives the harsh dry season safely, and the number of members is multiplied, and the future of the queen and her family is still full of variables, but as long as they work together, they can break a way out of the harsh Namib Desert.
Drought and heat came to the Namib Desert, and the fox deer population began to migrate to the southwest coast because water sources began to be strained. Da instructs the group where to go to forage for food every day, depending on where the food is best retrieved from before.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="112" > First, hard choice: foraging and protecting children, which is more important? </h1>
Although the fox mother Jiang wants to stay with her son Rong and The Worm, sometimes hunger drives it to go out with the group to forage for food, at which point it can only leave the child in the care of a nanny. After Yu slaughtered his nephews, although Jiang was not at ease to leave them to anyone to take care of, he did not have time to wait by his son's side all the time. A few of her specially treated cubs are thriving and becoming more and more active– they are a hot potato for the nanny. They play and play, become more and more aggressive, and lose their temper is also accustomed. In contrast, Rong and Xuan are much more peaceful. As their cubs grew larger, the nannies who took care of them began to grab live snacks and help them wean. This succulent snake lizard is so tempting that everyone wants a piece of the pie. This big meal is for everyone, but except for The Worm and the Rong. The curiosity of the clam is much larger than the physique, and he can't help but be tempted to go over and see what is going on. Dai's cub lost his booty and poured his anger on the weaker rong than it. The nannies turned a blind eye. Rong alone was frightened.
Desert snake lizard
When the family came back, Jiang hurried back to Rong's side. It has lost its you, never wants to lose its rong again, and it may die at any time—it is the only one who cares about the life and death of these bastards. If you want them to live, Ginger must stay away from the child, but what should he do?
The next morning, Ginger, the mother fox, made a bold decision, this time when it followed the group to forage, it took Rong and the worm with her. They are only 3 weeks old, and it is too early for them to leave the cave, but Ginger only has a chance to keep them alive if they do. Although Rong and Qi are a few days older than their uncles Xi and Qi, They are well nourished and grow much faster than Rong and Qi. They are big enough to explore the outside world. But for Jiang's children, the outside world is a terrible hell, and the clams can still keep up with the team, and Rong always needs to help. Ginger wants the cubs to survive, and in addition to self-sacrifice, it needs good luck. The presence of Ginger is always a threat to Dai, even Xi and Qi feel Dai's cruelty, how long can it endure the daughter of a competitor in the family?
After a few more days, the good old time for the little fox to hang out at home was over. The leader of the small foxes, the size of January, is going out with the adults for the first time to forage for food. The little brothers, Xi and Qi, can't wait to set off, and although they have only been out of the nest for a few days, they are eager to explore the wild world. But the little girls Jasmine and Li seem to be a little reluctant to leave home. The lemurs have to study in the desert for two months before they can forage alone, and later they must learn how to deal with deadly scorpions and react quickly to alarms. But today adults decided to start with safe food. The rest of the family is busy taking care of the children, and the eldest brother Yan is in charge of the guard. The herd of foxes is interspersed with small, fragile lemurs, and it becomes especially important to be on the alert for danger at all times. The vigilance soon paid off. There were predators approaching, shadows appeared in the sky, and Yan spotted the figure of a fierce eagle. Lemurs are very visually sharp from a distance and can see certain birds of prey from a kilometer away. But Yan did not pull his leg and run, but wittily assessed the risk. If the eagle gets any closer, Yan will issue a highly urgent alarm and tell everyone to look for cover. The Fox Family pays no distraction to the threat from above, but ignores the more pressing crisis around them.
The jackal returned, and now it had its eye on the fox family. Yan saw the intruder and issued a low ground alarm. Family members quickly gathered to protect the little foxes, including Ginger's illegitimate son, and formed a unified front to share the hardships. While the jackals were acting, the fox family quickly sought cover. They hide in a sleeping cave. This is a good move for the fox. Unlike hidden caves, which have only a single entrance, sleep caves are intricately intricately caverned and crypts, making it difficult for jackals to lock on to the fox's position underground.
But the jackal is very patient, and the fox family has not yet escaped. As long as the jackal finds their whereabouts, it will not hesitate to dig them up and eat them. To make matters worse, not all the members hid in the hole, and the youngest of the team was gone. However, the jackal has not yet found Mo, and the single Molly is completely defenseless. Confused about the situation, Mo is completely lost and goes in the wrong direction. It was too young to know how to escape. Moo issued a "lost alarm" to ask her family for help. This kind of rescue alarm allows adult foxes to find a lost baby. But Mo's call for help was in vain, the fox badger family was trapped in the ground, And Dai waited for the opportunity to probe out of the hole, and did not have a chance to get close to Mo. Mo went farther and farther. The jackal is on the outside, and the adult fox cannot leave the cave to rescue the young Jasmine. The eagle did not fly far away, and at this time it was still staring at the tiger at a high altitude, expecting to win in the chaos.
In the evening, the fox family finally came out of the cave and waited for Mo to return. As the sun sets, the hope of reuniting with Jasmine gradually fades, and even if Jasmine is not eaten by the jackal, she will be frozen to death by the cold night. For this pocket family, every member is important. Every time you lose your family, it is a bone-chilling pain.
The next morning, everyone climbed out of the hole. Jasmine is still missing. Although the loss of the family is painful, everyone must beat the spirit to take care of the few remaining babies, including Jiang's son. They are the future of the family, and getting them through the dry season will be the biggest challenge for the fox family. In this disaster, in addition to the disappearance of the young boy Mo, the adult E is also missing. The other foxes were foraging for food, but there was no trace of E, and everyone was a little worried.
Fast-moving desert rattlesnake
Da stood at the mouth of the cave on a high place, looking into the distance, hoping that the child would come back to be reunited. But now there are uninvited guests. Among the snakes, the African rattlesnake is a small snake, less than a foot long, although they are not as large as the forest crab, but the raiding magic is just as clever. Rattlesnakes are looking for a hiding place. Covering itself with a rough, granular skin, it is a master of disguise, the grains of sand covering its scales like a waterfall, and it observes the surroundings and waits for opportunities. The fox dodged, but the lizard ran to death. The snake is ready to attack, coiling its body into a spring ready to strike, and then launching a lightning strike. Rattlesnakes secrete venom and completely dispose of their prey within seconds. One in ten snakes use venom to kill their prey, secreting deadly mixed toxins to enter and destroy the blood system, and the victim usually fails to detect who has been killed, and can only learn the harsh facts from the stamp of the bite. In this desert, at least 15 people die each year under the fangs of rattlesnakes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="115" > second, the fox queen monopolizes reproductive rights, and has more than 70 children, it is very selfish? </h1>
Jasmine and E are both missing, but their mother, Da, has no time to cry sadly. In addition to foraging all day, she also has the responsibility of creating the next generation, and she will give birth to more than 70 babies in her lifetime. In the first few months of life, the lemur tries to avoid making its baby a victim of predators, disease and starvation. If the baby lemurs survive the crucial first six months, their chances of survival are greatly increased. She needs every member to play by the rules, even her own daughter and sister. Only by following the rules can you survive. To live is the last word, and Dai is convinced of this. They inhabit a network of tunnels and chambers, about 6 meters deep above the desert surface. This is a shelter away from the extreme heat and cold of the bone, so that Xi and his friends have become small creatures that have survived another day under this vast African sky.
As time passed, the environment of the nanobub became more and more harsh. The dry season is at its peak, and the desert soil turns to dust and flies all over the sky. Today is the first day of the really hot dry season. In the morning, the temperature in the shade could reach 40 degrees Celsius, and there was only one key factor in surviving: the manna falling from the sky. But before the next rainy season comes, they will have to endure the heat and food shortages. Food was scarce, which meant that she also had to go out to forage every day, and the fertility plan was suspended. The instinct honed by time dominates most of the creatures of the Namibe Desert, and some creatures have also learned to use the knowledge passed down from generation to generation to conquer this absurd land. Deserts form because of a lack of water, but what really kills animals is not heat or lack of water, but lack of food.
Xi still went out with the extended family to forage for food. However, Xi and his friends are too small to dig out small insects. Teamwork once again helped the little foxes get off to a smooth start, and each cub followed an older member and kept begging for food, "Give me food, I'm hungry!" "Can you please hurry up?" The little ones soon paid off, and the food that their parents and brothers had worked so hard to get was given to the little fox without saying a word. Dai, Shun, and young foxes provide a steady stream of food, usually feeding their pups before satisfying themselves. But this is not always the case, so the little foxes are very angry at the selfishness of their brothers and sisters, or dissatisfied with the nephew's attempt to rob food, and one of the little foxes is violent, of course, it is Xi. It was very dissatisfied with the little nephew who had robbed his own worm, and was originally going to give it to him, but the worm ate the worm first. This kind of fighting is sometimes quite fierce, and even at a young age, Xi's position as the boss of the group has begun to form.
Xi and the other little guys need to follow the big troops far. But they are still smelly and inexperienced, unable to keep up with the extended family. Older Brother Tai stayed behind to take care of things, and his only duty now was to take care of them, these little ones who were still underage. Like all animals in the Namib, desert lions are looking for food, they can't afford to be hungry, and they have to look at any possible prey, regardless of size. Although the Xi family is relatively small, it also has recipes and menus for hungry lions. Tai has never been afraid of male lions, because he knows that these big cats can't drill holes, and he is familiar with the hidden caves on the ground. The older brother must also take on two responsibilities at this time: both as a nanny and as a food supplier. In order to be a qualified nanny, the older brother must first teach his brother and nephew some life-and-death skills: how to find prey. But now it's dry and there aren't many prey; in addition, they are taught to learn the lemur's early warning call and issue real alerts. Becoming a trustworthy guard is also an important lesson. But now Xi and The Worm were still too young to detect danger or concentrate on vigilance tasks.
The terrifying-looking desert horned lizard
Ty led the children into a patch of dry grass, but could not move any further, knowing the danger ahead. In this area they can see not only large animals such as male lions and elephants, but also smaller, more terrifying and more peculiar desert horned lizards. Horned lizards hardly need water to survive in the desert, because they are covered with armor and covered with thorny scales and spikes, hence the name horned lizard. Although it is ugly, the fox knows that it can be eaten, but it is not easy to eat. Although the horned lizard's appearance is very fierce, and the short spines on the whole body seem to be very sharp, in fact, these are all its disguises, bluff, mainly used for defense, and have no offensive effect, so Tai is not afraid of it; and Xi is more curious. But the horned lizard knew that it should be afraid of its opponents, and while its body crawled forward, its body spines were able to dig up the sand like a hoe, pile the sand on its back, and then dive into the sand, showing only its head and looking nervously at the foxes. The horned lizard dug a pit to hide itself, and Tai let it go. The fox knew what this perverted guy would do, and he didn't want to let the children be afraid, so he led Xi away.
The foxes mostly eat insects, almost all the dug out bugs are handed out to the little ones, and Tai's nanny work is very hard. And all Xi had to do was to stay silly and open his mouth. But that's not Xi. It sits around like a little, doing nothing and causing trouble. Its attention shifted from the temptation of food to another new thing, a desert monitor lizard nearly a meter long. To encounter such a big thing can be regarded as buying a lottery ticket with a jackpot of 5 million. However, without his brother's guidance, Xi didn't even know that the monitor lizard could eat it, let alone where to start. Ty knows that the monitor lizard is not easy to deal with, so it is better not to provoke it, not to teach children to take risks - that will cause great trouble. But Xi's soaring curiosity caused it to leave the family, follow the monitor lizard away, and try to catch it. The greater the curiosity, the more vulnerable it is, and the monitor lizard can kill it with a casual swing of its tail. Xi didn't know this. Getting lost can have serious consequences, and the Namib Desert is not a place to be alone. When Xi shouts for help, Ty has no choice —although the risk of responding is enormous, instinct forces it to respond, even if it means that the other little ones have lost their umbrella. Tai had to leave to rescue Xi. Although the brother saved the life of the curious little guy, Xi was still in fear and uneasiness. To survive, it still has a lot to learn, but the first thing is to "be careful with the ship of ten thousand years.". Occasional accidents also made Tai Fei frightened. Tai did not dare to be careless, so he took a few little guys to chase after his family, and today's study class ended here.
Namib Desert Monitor Lizard
It was only 9:30 in the morning, and the temperature under the sun was already as high as 35 degrees Celsius, and of course it was much cooler in the shade, but first you had to find a place to stay. Although it needs to be adapted, covering the sand does have the effect of cooling off. The fox's metabolism is slow, which means that for animals of this size, the heat in their bodies is surprisingly low, and they are very adaptable to the weather of this barbecue mode. The morning was almost over, and now even in the shade of the trees was extremely hot, at which point Dada decided to move again. No one knew where it was going, and the little ones had to follow the female leader, although they did not intend to move in the 40-degree heat. Da's decision was very wise, and the summer resort found that an abandoned hyena hole was cooler than any shade. The ground here is warmer than 70 degrees Celsius, there is no shade, and the nearest large tree is far away. But the temperature in the cool cave is 30 degrees lower than outside.
Six hours after the sun came out, as the afternoon cooled down, the foxes began to move again. Although the weather is hot, the foxes hardly drink water, and they get all the water they need from the juicy grubs and bugs. Juvenile foxes are insatiable for these juicy delicacies. As soon as they set off, they began begging for food. With continuous calls, Xi and The Worm reminded the elderly family members to bring them food, "The little baby is hungry, let's start eating!" "Due to the midday heat interrupting the foraging operation, Tai can only take time to fill his stomach later, but he is also entangled with the little fox, and the nanny's life is really difficult.
The brave little fox catches scorpions to eat
Although every adult lemur is hard at work, and the little fox can get an endless stream of bugs, the little one still tries to feed himself. Xi tried to catch ants at the beginning, which was not easy - strangely, although catching ants was very difficult, the little fox was easy to catch scorpions. If a person is stung by a scorpion, he will soon be seriously injured, and the scorpion will grab a scorpion with his bare hands and swallow the scorpion in its entirety, without even pulling out the poisonous tail thorn.
Surrounded by predators, Ginger and its children must be on constant alert, their greatest threat came from the sky, and a fierce eagle quickly locked on to the weakest target below, this time rong and clam. For the young brothers, the best way to save their lives is to hang out in the fox herd. Rong barely followed the line, but the front was equally dangerous. The Dai's people left their territory, crossing invisible borders.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="117" > third, the plight of the lemur's illegitimate child, and the death-defying battle between the lemur and the cobra</h1>
In the world of the fox, border disputes have caused countless conflicts, no less than human border disputes. Their intrusion was discovered, and the strong enemy was waiting. In a panic, the family members of Dada pulled their legs and ran, which was a nightmare for Jiang Mother and Son. If the cubs are separated from their mother, they will be torn to pieces by their opponents. Da's clan prepares to counter-charge. But in the midst of the chaos, Rong and Xuan were separated from their mother. After a bluff, the undermanned enemy retreated. But where are Ginger's children? In his panic, Ginger miraculously found that his sons were safe and sound.
For the three of them, the dangerous and exhausting day had finally passed. Ginger has gone through many crises in taking them out to forage, but it was worth it. Considering that they were so young and fragile, every day that Rong and The Worm survived was a miracle and a victory for the dedicated mother. But the long day is not over. Ginger knew that it could be expelled at any time, and its eldest sister was ruthlessly expelled by Da because she gave birth to her cubs.
Fox Wit Fight Black-necked Spray Venomous Cobra
In the hot, dry namib, foraging birds also fly back to their nests in their huge trees, but they are not the only inhabitants of dead branches. The foxes also have a sinister neighbor. The black-necked venomous cobra also lives in the Namib Desert. Depending on their surroundings, they have different body colors, but the most conspicuous pattern on this snake gives it another title, "zebra snake". It is nearly two meters long, capable of entering heaven and earth and doing anything. It is both a master climber, able to blend perfectly into the desert rocks, or it can hide in a hole in the ground, waiting for a surprise attack. If threatened, this snake will never back down. Unlike the golden cobra, it does not glide at all, relying only on muscles to lift its body forward and twist its torso so that the distance between its bodies is kept small. In this way the body tumbles and swings from its neck to its tail, leaving its specific marks in the sand behind it.
The zebra snake is considered the most dangerous snake in the world due to its speed and long-distance chase. The zebra snake can run 7 kilometers per hour, while on short runs, it can double its speed per hour, exceeding the speed that anyone can achieve. It can move forward while getting a third of its body up to the ground. Naturally, the zebra snake is the most feared snake in the African land, it is very thin, curly and extremely aggressive. Zebra snakes can move quickly on open land or in water, and only two drops of venom are deadly. They inject so much poisonous juice into their prey, and it's no wonder that people are so afraid of them, and they seem to be more afraid of humans than they are.
The birds are still in the trees, and zebra snakes can find them as long as the birds don't fly away. Although snakes can also smell in their nostrils, the tongue and Jacobson's organs enhance the snake's ability to sense odors, allowing these desert animals to hunt with superb raid tactics. The birds spotted the cunning hunters and flew away. At this time, the flightless nanobud chameleon was still on the branches, but its camouflage was useless. Because it faces predators, it is almost entirely preyed upon by smell. The chameleon tried to escape, but it was too late. It turned bright yellow under pressure, and the chameleon, which was forced into a desperate situation, inhaled air as much as possible to make its body bigger, but in vain. The chameleon makes a final effort to try to repel the killer. But the zebra snake did not fight back, it just waited for the venom containing powerful cytotoxins to work. As the venom dispersed, the chameleon's skin cells died one by one, and it underwent its last discoloration in this life, becoming the cobra's lunch.
The zebra snake didn't go away, still looking for a summer house on the branches, because it was too hot and it didn't want to return to the casserole-like ground. But as a mother, it has to stop, it is getting harder and harder to find food, and all parents are busy trying to survive. Zebra snakes have just laid their eggs and are lacking in nutrients, and if they can eat the little fox, their physical strength will be greatly replenished. It has 1 meter 80 long disc-shaped muscles, can issue a fatal kiss in an instant, and the venom injected into the bite can kill 10 adults and kill the little fox. The zebra snake still came down from the tree, and it was searching the underground caves one by one, looking for something to eat. Tai and a few small foxes unfortunately encounter this big man who is still hungry. This guy erected half of his body, revealing black eyes, which was intimidating.
In fact, adult foxes only react in the blink of an eye to avoid cobra attacks. Ty quickly jumped away, knowing to keep his distance from his opponent and stare into the eyes of the snake, never trying to run away and turning his back on it. Lemurs are able to resist any kind of snake, and no matter how powerful they are, snakes generally leave the area. But this time the little fox encountered stubborn resistance. The zebra snake seems to be deliberately bullying young Tai, and wants to swallow the weak clam into his mouth. Its special neck muscles pull apart the ribs that are usually retracted, forming a head pocket to make itself appear larger. But the opponent still did not run away. Zebra Snake is now about to use its most important defensive weapon and spew out venom. There are forward-facing holes in the venomous cobra fangs that can accurately spray distant targets. Powerful venom can be sprayed in a mist or column of water, more than two meters away. These venoms are harmless to skin without wounds, but if the eyes come into contact with these venoms and are not treated in time, they can lead to temporary blindness. But Ty deftly dodged its venom.
The zebra snake still refused to give up, and stood by to watch, waiting, perhaps there would be a fox cub away from Tai's protection, falling into its blood basin mouth. Predators squatting in front of their homes to keep their posts are nothing new to the fox family, and snakes and foxes have been enemies since ancient times. Dealing with poisonous snakes is only a compulsory course for survival. Like the other little ones, Xi needs a teacher who teaches the necessary skills. Every little fox has many teachers, Shun, Da, Yan, Yuan, Jiang and Tai are all good teachers. However, the trouble-loving Xi still fights for his own preferences, that is, to cause trouble, and it is approaching and provoking the cobra. Tai had no choice but to bravely approach the cobra and share the danger of his brother. The cobra had no intention of tangling with the agile Ty and shook his head as he left.
Da returns home and sees her missing daughter E. It looks a lot thinner, and it must have given birth to a baby again. E did give birth to babies Qian, Xi, Yong and Fox. But there was no movement in the nest, and Tai was taking good care of the young fox. Dada finds that the children are all fine, but she does not know that this may be the opposite result, and xi is lucky to be alive. In The Namib, every sunset is a victory for creatures that have a chance to survive.
In the evening, the youngest baby fox has had her first chance to eat since her mother's morning out. Producing enough milk and feeding the four little ones was exhausting, but thanks to the support of the entire population, she was able to store enough milk when she left the nest during the day. This is one of the great advantages of living in a united collective. With the help of other members to take care of the cubs, E can give birth to three litters of calves a year – but this is not allowed. She will not indulge her daughter in breaking the rules. But in the harsh environment, its achievements have been quite good. It is especially important for E to save these two children, and their grandmother may kill them at any time.
Another surprise awaits Da's fox family. Foxes from rival races came to visit. Han is a young male, and he is not here to find someone to fight. This time its intentions are courteous and romantic. It has a crush on Ginger's little sister. When the members of her own clan were curious to look at the strangers, Ji Sneaked out to the appointment. Ginger watched her sister frolicking and fooling around with strangers, and she didn't say anything. Ji sneaked back into the group, but it couldn't hide Han's unique smell. First Ginger, then E, then Ji, successively have secret lovers, after they become pregnant and give birth, will Dai's prestige decline?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="119" > fourth, the fox queen tolerates the secret behind the betrayal of her daughter and sister</h1>
Ginger's cubs grew up under unfavorable conditions and survived a six-month dangerous period. But as foxes, they still have a lot to learn. The cunning is gentle and obedient; Rong is lively and active, always does not listen to his mother, and often takes risks. Nowadays, the burden on Ginger's shoulders has not only not been reduced, but has become heavier and heavier, because it is becoming more and more difficult to live, and the active cubs are easy to break into trouble. The care of the cubs will continue until the rainy season, when torrential rains will sweep across the desert. However, the rain is good news for the foxes. Although they don't like to get wet, after a heavy rain, a large number of bugs will emerge from the ground, and the whole family will be able to enjoy a delicious meal. As the storm moves north, the fox family will migrate to a good place, migrating and foraging among several sleeping caves on the site.
But the rainy season has not yet arrived on time, and there are obvious changes in the family. The chieftain was pregnant again, but it wasn't just her who had a big belly, the concubine was also pregnant. But its pregnancy directly threatens the life of the fetus in the womb. The pregnancy of the concubine is different from the pregnancy of princess Jiang, and if a low-level female fox like the concubine is pregnant, she may kill the baby of the eldest sister, and the murder is to give her baby the best chance of survival. She must keep a close eye on her sister's every move at all times. Pregnancy puts a lot of pressure on the body, and being wary of competitors makes you physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, it becomes especially important to fill your stomach and replenish your energy.
In the early morning, the foxes had just emerged from their burrows, a group of 14 adult lemurs, 5 teenage lemurs, and 4 newborn baby foxes. They are basking in the sun to warm their bodies. The youngest baby foxes are E's children, they are so cute and only 4 weeks old, they are all tightly attached. This group must be very vigilant because of the presence of these fragile cubs. Lemurs are particularly known for their excellent eyesight, and their long noses can play an important surveillance role. In fact, foxes can smell the threat before they see danger. That's how they protect their pups. The foxes remained vigilant for a moment, and the sentries monitored any predators that might come within its field of vision. Foxes have many predatory predators, such as jackals, puffed vipers, cobras, etc., which can be disguised as "appearing". But they can't hide their smell, leaving tiny traces wherever they go.
The main food of the fox: the yellow fat-tailed scorpion
Da found a big meal, a strong fat-tailed scorpion. The yellow fat-tailed scorpion is one of the most poisonous scorpions in South Africa and rarely gets caught. They are strong survival masters, and when food is scarce, scorpions can slow down their metabolic rate to one-third of their original rate. Some scorpions can eat an insect and hide underground for an entire year. Facing Da, the fat-tailed scorpion uses stingers to deal with predators. Da had to be careful and vigilant, and was swaddled by scorpions so that they would not cause death, but the painful experience could still be avoided. The secret to this difficult opponent is to see the opportunity and bite off its poisonous tail, rather than recklessly grabbing it like a clam and shoving it directly into the mouth, which may be stabbed in the mouth. But the situation did not go as smoothly as she imagined, and the scorpion was very alert, and it could not start for a long time. And the concubine was looking at the tiger on the side, and then, in a big rebellion, rushed up first to be strong, snatching the big sister's breakfast. The sister violated the principles of organization, violated the law of pregnancy, turned a blind eye, and pretended not to know. But at this time, the offender dared to provoke himself, which was intolerable, and Da gave her sister a dismount, and it ruthlessly repaired her sister with its claws and teeth. The concubine was beaten up by her sister. She has no choice but to think about the baby in her womb, and in order to protect her offspring, she can only endure the pain of expelling her sister from the house.
In the evening of this day, the other members of the Dai family returned to the sleeping cave early to rest. Exhausted from the fight, the concubine barely climbs into an abandoned hiding cave. It was scarred and collapsed at the mouth of the cave. Without the support and protection of the family, it and the unborn baby are full of life.
Dark clouds are gathering in the distance, which may be the long-awaited time for all desert dwellers to relieve the drought.
In the two-meter-deep cave, members of the Dai family huddled together, and the temperature would drop below zero at night, and the petite foxes shared their body temperature to keep warm. But the concubine who was expelled from the house had to endure the long cold night alone, and whether she could survive until dawn was still uncertain.
But after two days, it still didn't rain, and the desert sky often made people rejoice. The clouds drifted in the sky, and not a single drop of rain fell. The disappointment of the single mother fox concubine is not only this one, the scars of eviction from the house are still there, and the new pain has increased. The concubine drilled out of its solitary burrow, and while sunbathing in the morning sun, its flat belly revealed the tragic fact that it had miscarried. The pressure of being expelled from the house may make its small body unable to withstand the weight of breeding, and the chances of survival of a single concubine are sharply reduced.
Pregnant dai becomes increasingly moody, hormone content pushes its tolerance to a minimum, and may be angry at any time, killing several of E's children; and instinct drives da to eradicate any characters that may pose a threat to its unborn cubs, especially older females, such as Ginger and E, who may also try to kill Da's children. The fact that the daughter remains in the group and gives birth to a child is an obvious threat, and a final showdown with the daughter is inevitable. Ginger thus bore all the anger of his mother and repeatedly backed down. But this time it also had to flee for its life. Rong and Xuan tried to follow their mother, but the mother had already gone far. For the first time in his life, Ginger was alone. As night falls, the family reunion is as usual, Jiang and his son are close at hand, but it seems to be far away, and it still has to face the cold night alone. Ginger's life seemed to be returning from heaven to hell. It relies on the shelter of the ethnic group and is ostracized because it is seen as a threat by its mother. Fortunately, Rong and Xuan survived with Ginger's selfless dedication and wit. What they learn from their mothers is enough for them to take care of themselves and move on to the future of life.
It was not only Jiang who suffered injustice, but Also Eun was ruthlessly expelled by her mother. It had to leave its children and run away from home. Fortunately, it soon met Ruyi Lang Junlie. Lie has been following the Da's family and wandering around Da's territory. The days of a bachelor are fed by one person and the whole family is not hungry, not like the hardships of E dragging the family with their mouths. Eun then established a small family with Lie according to the standards of the Fox Family. A couple of foxes, even if they do not stay together for life, will live together for several years. However, they are newlyweds who are just beginning to live together and are also establishing their own territory. To do this, they need to strengthen the power of the group, produce more small foxes, and the more cubs, the larger the family and the stronger the camp. E's son Qian sneaked out the next day and joined Lie's camp. Lie didn't mind being Qian's stepfather.
A majestic fox
After spending a night in the cool cave, the adult male fox was the first to come out of the cave, followed by the male qian, and the family looked calm. Qian, like Tai, always looks majestic and exuberant, full of spirit. Lie's size is no more than half a cat, and Qian is only the size of a mouse, but he looks like a majestic bodyguard wearing sunglasses, very manly heroism. But Qian suddenly tensed up, which surprised Lie, and there was no threat around him.
It turned out that Qian was worried about Swift. Swifts are no threat to foxes, but little ones don't know, and it's never seen Swifts. The swift has lived in Europe for five months and has just arrived in Africa to escape the cold winter in the north. Qian had never seen an animal like this that could fly without preying, and it was often attacked by eagles and other birds of prey, so it was very vigilant, and it was afraid of swifts as a threat, which was really "once bitten by a snake, three years afraid of well ropes." The little fox must learn from Lie and E, which are food and which are natural enemies; which birds are threatening and which birds are not, such as swifts. In fact, before it becomes self-reliant, it has to learn a lot of survival knowledge. E's little family, like all foxes, loves to sunbathe. The first thing they do when they come out is to warm up. Qian tried his best to stay alert with his parents, but Qian, who had just woken up, was still a little confused and completely unaware of the danger.
The lonely and wandering Ginger, not as lucky as E, was able to start a new family. Nor can it be like lions and elephants, who can swim alone in the desert. As a result, it has been active on the edge of the family's territory. But things are unpredictable. One morning Ginger woke up to an unusual smell around him, and he saw his mother again. The leader's entourage seemed to have shrunk considerably, no longer the dozen or so foxes that had been hugging before. The mother now has only Shun and two newborn cubs as companions. Where did the other foxes go? Rong and Yu had grown up, and it was difficult for Dai to kill them; Tai and Ji seemed to disappear out of thin air; moreover, Yan and Yuan's several big brothers would not encounter accidents at the same time. So, what happened to the family? The only explanation is that the race is now divided in two, and most of the foxes are tired of the violent queen, so the queen has few followers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="121" > Fifth, the fox queen is spurned, how to face the mother after the daughter takes power? </h1>
Are Rong and Xuan still alive? This is what Ginger is eager to know. It set out to look for the tribes that had been separated. It didn't take long to find the answer, Rong and Xuan were of course still alive, and they were in the middle of the family. They grew up and seemed to be living well, and the two were playing with each other. Ginger involuntarily followed the larger group, instinctively driving it to look for long-lost warmth and safety. The situation was unbelievably good now, and now the worm was no longer the youngest child in the group, and it was bullying the other cubs of Da, and it was ashamed of the snow. The queen is gone, can Ginger join the clan again? Through observation, Jiang found that there were no foxes in charge, and it seemed that no foxes had a tendency to inherit leadership. Ji is now the only heir to the throne, but he is absent-minded and blindly fighting with Han Er. In this scattered state, once there is danger, it will threaten the safety of Rong and Xuan, and Jiang, who is in the distance, will be unable to help. But will she soon return to the clan? Ginger wasn't sure.
After a few more days, it seems that the goddess of luck has finally fallen for ginger, and its cruel mother has really left the group, and the position of leader has been vacated. Ginger then returned to the family and took charge of the family's power. After so many lonely days and nights, Princess Jiang is now finally reunited with the Rong and Xuan brothers; moreover, she is now the leader, who can stay in the clan for a long time, dominate the resources of the entire clan, and raise the 3 little babies and the children of E that Da did not take away. What a dramatic day for Ginger, who has finally regained his freedom from Da's dictatorship and will be living an incredibly good life, as if ginger were in a fox paradise.
Also enjoying a happy life is Jiang's younger sister E, who is about to give birth again and may give birth next week. Perhaps for this reason, Lie had been busy marking territory for the past few days, smearing his scent around the residence and warning other invading foxes. Lie and E are very affectionate, they will definitely stay together, and because of this, Lie increasingly needs to find new territories to meet the growing needs of the family. Moving means moving away from familiar habitats and encountering unknown dangers. But after wandering for many years, the well-informed spirit has made up its mind, and it has taken the lead in embarking on the road of moving with firm steps. The weak and small Qian, unaccustomed to long journeys, began to become restless; moreover, the journey was bound to pass through the territory of the neighbors, and if they encountered difficult opponents, they would encounter fierce battles of the enemy.
Fox killer - white-throated monitor lizard
The cunning Lie led the family to cleverly dodge the enemy, but encountered another danger, a white-throated monitor lizard more than a meter long blocked the way. Although the monitor lizards are bulky, they are fearless, they have strong bites, and their well-developed tails can also give their opponents a hard blow. The diphthered monitor lizard can easily swallow the small foxes in the cave, and usually these little ones have to burrow into the hole to avoid trouble. Curious Qian not only does not dodge, but also wants to jump and compete with the monitor lizard. After a few rounds, Qian retreated in frustration. Fortunately, the lizard just wanted to avoid trouble, not to forage, and it turned around and left. Although there was danger, Qian still couldn't help but want to see it for the last time. Qian's actions look crazy, and he could have left, but he was going to cause trouble. In fact, it is because of their curiosity that foxes can flourish.
Jiang and E are trying to create their own happy lives, while their mother, Da, is not doing well. The majestic Queen Yu Wei is weakening day by day, and the small size of the group and the two hungry cubs put great pressure on the couple's survival, forcing them to forage hard in all weather conditions, and there is no one to warn, so the foraging is very distracted and the harvest is very small. As Dai became more and more desperate, the fox boss Shun quietly left, leaving the hungry cubs for Dai to take care of alone. One cannot feed the cubs, and for the survival of the two cubs, it can only return to the family and regain what it has lost.
Create and make people. One morning, Ginger wakes up from a cold cave to find the Queen back. The mother waited for the opportunity and competed with her daughter. Ginger will inevitably lose everything again. Dai has written a battle book, showing its determination that it will never back down. This is a dangerous step. If Ginger's new group embraces it, it can easily repel its own mother. But whether the members of the clan favor the old masters or the new chiefs depends on their loyalty. Ginger desperately exudes its scent, showing Dada that he is the leader of the clan. She was brave and fearless, and took the lead in dancing the war dance, as if entering no man's land. Facing its ruthless mother again, for Ginger, the time to witness the truth has arrived, and for their mother and daughter, it is now the time to decide the victory or defeat. Dai's shivering gaze seemed to be able to shoot through the hearts of Jiang and everyone in the group. Under its sharp gaze, first Xi, then Ji, the clansmen left Jiang one by one and joined The Battle Dance Troupe. The Daobao Sword is not old, and Yu Wei is still there. Ginger lost his fighting spirit at this time, and his mother once again ruined his good life. Dai's boldness was so strong that even Rong and Xuan could not resist it, and they also joined Dai's team. Abandoned by his clan and even his son, Jiang's last chance was also in vain.
Everything is providence, everything is fate, and Ginger is alone again.
The foxes did not have a good habit of storing food, and the family would soon face hunger in the heat, but no one seemed to realize their growing survival problems. Now, even the resourceful Dada has nothing to do, and she must lead her family to attack and go around the sand in search of food to make ends meet. For the growing Xi, the sound of sand and gravel fluttering with the wind, and the unforeseen danger, are irrelevant, and filling the belly is the big problem. The whole family has embarked on a journey of foraging, and Xi is closely following behind. They're getting farther and farther away from the nearest network of tunnels, a collective adventure for the family. But they have enough members to remain vigilant at all times. The last few remaining foods in the desert are attractive to both competitors and the Dai family. Staying away from habitat and expanding the space for hunting meant invading rival territories and bloody battles. The Da family used the Dance of War to intimidate their opponents, and this trick worked. The invaded fox family was sparsely populated, and they were intimidated and retreated with interest.
The Dai family continued to search for food along the way, except for Xi's brother Tai, who stood up straight and guarded along the way. But it couldn't take care of all directions at once, and a fierce eagle swooped down from the top of the dune and headed straight for Xi! Tai sounded a piercing alarm as he sped toward his brother, who pounced on Him before the eagle. Tai gave up his life to protect his brother. Eagles also need to provide food for their cubs, and Tai selflessly dedicates his flesh and blood.
A noble saint, a loving elder, a brave and fearless heart has passed away. For Xi, this is a tragedy, and it still needs to complete survival training. Although the increasingly strong Xi is highly skilled in fighting, he also needs to be taught how to deal with dangerous prey. Without this skill, the fox cannot survive to adulthood, and it is the older brother Tai who teaches it step by step, including the deadly dance steps against cobras and monitor lizards, as well as dodging birds of prey in the sky, and more importantly, how to deal with their victims, including catching poisonous scorpions and small lizards. These are the cheats needed to survive in the Namib Desert. The brother taught Xi and Xuan very well, but now the good teacher is no longer there.
Temperatures in the desert are still rising, turning the valley into a hot pot. The heat wave depletes the energy of the fox who is determined to remain alert, and even the vigilant deer sometimes cannot resist, and cannot sit down to rest, or snooze to reduce physical exertion.
Drought, heat waves and dust, the adverse effects of summer crushed the earth, and all the creatures who went out. For months, without a single drop of rain, the fate of the nanobub creatures was in jeopardy. As the plants die piece by piece, the desert becomes a red "wok", and the sand transforms the shape of the entire "wok".
The Namib Desert was extremely dry, and the temperature was so high that even drought-tolerant foxes could not bear it. Under the scorching sun, the desert temperature hovers between 50 and 70 degrees Celsius. The ghostly figures of desert animals roam the horizon to feed, supporting the animals to this moment, proving their true ability to bear hardships and stand hard work. Remembering where the puddles dug by the elephants, she decided to move her family closer to the water source to allow the fox family to survive the hardest part of the dry season. While foxes get the water they need from food, finding water in times of food shortage is an advantage. Water can attract a wide variety of desert animals, making it easier for foxes to find food, but danger is also everywhere.
As their group drifts away from their familiar habitats, they begin to become restless, and when they encounter difficult opponents, they will engage in fierce battles. However, after leaving their former homeland, they do face many unpredictable dangers, and they have not yet taken the time to check the escape route here, and it is inevitable that they will not encounter poisonous snakes like cobras. Fortunately, the growing xi is healthy and unharmed, and it and its family form a united fox camp to deal with various challenges together.
As they grew older, their daily games had to be put on hold, and they had to take on family responsibilities. Xi struggled to dig up the sand, but to no avail, and his young brother's begging was fruitless. Even Da refused the cub's pleas, and it had to do so—a heartbreaking reality of life in the Namib Desert. For Xi, what should have been a rich life for a large family was replaced by years of starvation.
Xi's birth and rainy season met unexpectedly, and now it should be the rainy season, which means that Xi is already one year old, and it also indicates that it has come of age and is a man. The rainy season brings plenty of abundant food, but this summer, after the clouds form, the sun seems to evaporate the rain before the raindrops fall to the ground. The scorching sun dried up the entire valley, and the food that helped the foxes thrive hid themselves deep beneath the ground.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="126" > Sixth, The War of the Fox Population: The Battle of Territory and Food</h1>
Xi Hexuan's year of vicissitudes, even the wind in the desert has removed the dust from his eyes, carefully examined this tenacious family, and solemnly respected. This was one of the worst droughts in the history of the Namib Desert. The fragile desert ecology, with only a slight change in climate, can disrupt the delicate balance of nature. Da's youngest cub is in danger of dying, and despite all her efforts, she has not been able to help. Raising babies is hard, guarding the homeland is even more difficult, and the Dai family is now unable to do so even if they have the idea of attacking the city. Worse still, opponents are still reconnoitring the border line, trying to regain their lost territory, but because of the inferior numbers, they have been circling around and trying to move.
Namib Desert Chameleon
Later in the afternoon, as the sun's reign runs out, its power gradually diminishes, and animals face a new challenge, making the most of what remaining light and heat remain before the sun disappears. The sand of the namib slowly cooled, however, the namib chameleon began to undergo the most bizarre change again, the body color split in half from the middle, the black side facing the sun in order to absorb the remaining warmth; the white side in the shadow to slow down the loss of body heat. It's playing magic tricks, turning itself into two chameleons so that it can survive the coming cold night.
Dark clouds bring a ray of hope. With the sound of thunder and rain across Africa, it finally rained in the Namib Desert. But there's no need to worry about whether a storm hits the place or not, the rain brings everything the desert creatures need. The storm of the Namib was so powerful that the thunderstorm clouds were fiercer than a hundred tornadoes, and the lightning in the air seemed to frighten all the animals on the ground, and Xi had never seen such a scene before. The world of the fox is always full of variables, and a sudden storm disrupts everything. The newly merged groups are panicked and blindly flee from one refuge to another, eager to find a suitable cave to serve as a temporary shelter. But in a panic, they entered the territory of hostile forces. Darkness shrouded them, and they rested in enemy territory.
The Dai clan is really in trouble now. Da and her family looked at the increasingly ferocious storm and were overjoyed. At this time, Jiang also followed the scent trail to find his family. It had not yet recovered from the shock and confusion of abandonment, damp and covered in mud, without the warmth of the body of its people, and it faced another cold and torturous night.
The next day the rain passed, and the desert seemed to become the Garden of Eden. The Dai family has crossed the insurmountable field, and turning around and going home is the best choice. The fox's nose is very sensitive, and no enemy can escape their sense of smell. The jackal is one of the main natural enemies of the foxes, and even if a jackal's hair falls on a rock, a few meters away from their foraging path, the fox's nose can catch the smell in a few minutes, and will follow it, and use the most traditional siege tactics, raise its tail and arch its back, and gather together. This is a powerful demonstration of their rapid adjustment to danger. This time, however, there were no enemies, just a pinch of the jackal's hair. But the enemy is not the only way foxes use their sense of smell, they also use it to defend their territory. Foxes have spent their entire lives fighting territorial defenses against predators, so it's absolutely important to distinguish between friend and foe.
In the Namib Desert, short showers bring plenty of food, but food is with competition. Now, for a group of foxes who have intruded into each other's territory, it is undoubtedly forcing themselves into danger. The strange foxes appeared near their own holes, and within minutes the territory foxes had caught a strange smell, with a fox sentry approaching them. But everyone in Dai's fox group seemed more concerned about enjoying the warm sun pouring down on them and driving away the cold of last night. Ginger is nearby, like a silent shadow on the edge of the group, and is also a guardian. As their petite bodies warmed up, the group began to slowly return. The damp fur was still sticky to the dirt, and rong and clams looked like dolls soaked in cocoa powder. But the race accidentally slept in someone else's bed, and their whereabouts had been discovered by the scouts of the other side, and the army was overwhelmed. Last time their opponents ran away out of fear, but this time it was different, and there were more territorial foxes, and they felt a strange smell, which was from other populations of foxes. One of the foxes was highly vigilant, standing upright on its hind legs to see farther, scanning the horizon with its eyes. It was trying to see if uninvited guests had broken in, and what the situation was, and it was clearly the boss of the colony of territorial foxes. It saw an invading herd of foxes, and it would organize its own family members, gather in swarms, and launch a fierce attack.
The fox boss who is scouting the enemy
As a bystander, Jiang is well aware that the crisis is gradually approaching. Sandwiched between two factions, neither side is friendly, and its situation is not only embarrassing, but also dangerous. But it still sounded the danger alarm without hesitation, reminding the family members to pay attention. Realizing the danger, Da quickly gathered her clan and prepared to fight her opponent to the death. We are all committed to fighting each other, and it is a matter of territorial security. Dai still took the lead in charging the front as always, followed by Xi became the main force, followed by Yan and Xuan, who were not willing to be left behind, and successively threw themselves into the battle group. In order to solve the stomach problem, Xi had to fight with other foxes frequently. Its enthusiasm has always pushed it to the forefront, since his father Shun did not quit, his brother Tai died in the line of duty, and the family has no fierce generals to guard the homeland. Rushing to the forefront of the line, Xi found himself embattled. At this point, running away is the only way out, otherwise your life will be in danger, but that's the way to leave home.
Xi fled to an unknown world somewhere else outside the valley. Even Brother Tai had never been so far away, it was lost, lonely, worried, and the circumstances were quite bad. This time, there was no brother to come to the rescue, and Xi almost lost his instinct. It ventures deep into a crypt to hide, only to be warned by a cobra's "sizzling" sound. Xi may think that the underground is safe, but the situation outside the door is not accurate. When night came, the foxes rarely stayed on the ground for the night, not only too dangerous, but also too cold. Xi was very tired and in urgent need of rest, but tonight there was neither a safe cave nor a warm body from his family to comfort him.
After the fierce battle, The Dai's clan was victorious, and they successfully defended the invading territory, but also paid a price, with many wounded. Dai's sons Yan and Yuan were both injured, and not only was he seriously injured, but even the onlooker Jiang was scratched by the enemy during the battle. The hind legs were a bit lame, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. However, there was never a trace of Xi and Xuan. After the battle, the clan assembled on the return journey, and the clam appeared safely.
But there was another person whose whereabouts were unknown, and Jiang did not see Da. It usually rushes to the front, perhaps it is too old to withstand the toss and still resting somewhere; perhaps it is the battle it has rushed over, suffered a severe blow from its opponent and is seriously injured, waiting to die somewhere. Ginger saw a second chance to ascend to the throne. But it was only a dream, Dai was still alive, and the queen quietly appeared. It looks invincible. Da roared again to expel her daughter, and Jiang's hopes of probation were shattered. For the expelled princess, everything still did not turn around.
Da and the rest of the members had settled down. At first, they lost Tai, and now they have lost Xi, one by one, the loss of soldiers, the family has become smaller, weaker, and Da's family has been pushed to the cusp of the storm. Xi's situation is even worse, it is the first night that is about to be spent alone. Having lost their home, the foxes simply could not survive alone. For Xi, safe swarms are the only means of rescue. It had to do everything it could to find a chance to survive, as it had to do what its brother had taught. But the only real chance is to find your way home. With its nose, xi can sense dangers that are not felt by the eyes and ears, and the sense of smell is too important in their world.
Sprinkle some water on the stone and it vaporizes quickly under the action of heat, which is almost consistent with the volatilization of odor molecules in the air – which is why the air contains more odors in places with warmer climates. For foxes, this scent information resource is critical to the safety of the population. The lemurs stopped foraging for a day and returned to their comfortable and warm nests, and the little lemurs followed their elders all the way, all because of their small and sensitive noses, which could operate like a great radar system. Although lemurs have an excellent talent for catching different odors, their noses are not very sensitive to small odor traces. But in the end, Xi found clues on the sand. Its family members had been here, and it was the place they had been before they dueled their opponents. A few weeks ago, it didn't even dare to go out alone, but now it's stronger and more agile, able to stand at any point of danger needed to survive.
On the way home there was one last checkpoint, the big one, through the enemy's territory. Under the desire to capture prey and control the territory, the enemy will not easily leave here. This used to be a moment of panic, but it was not what it used to be. Although he and his family are only separated by a narrow desert trail of hundreds of meters, Xi may also die from it. It cannot risk temptation and attract the attention of the enemy. Observation, patience, and timing, to be successful in getting home, you have to do just that. Xi is no longer a cub, and many adventures have changed it, becoming more courageous and witty. Under the cover of night, Xi sneaked through the enemy-occupied area like a guerrilla and returned home smoothly. The powerful son returned home to be reunited, which was a difficult and great victory for the Dai family.
Frustrated, Jiang made the decision to leave his family resolutely. Ginger walks into the wilderness, completely breaking away from the protection of the family and stepping into a dangerous and lonely world. But Ginger wasn't alone now, someone was paying attention to it. It is Qi, a male who has been wandering for a long time. The appearance of Qi may not solve Ginger's immediate priorities, but it can be a part of Ginger's future life; for Ginger, a new life is about to begin, and it finally gets rid of its mother's shadow. Ginger's past life is over, and perhaps it will never see its beloved Rong and Worm again, but at least it has succeeded in keeping them alive. Now that they've grown up, they don't need to rely on it anymore. The cost of the fox leaving the family is high, but there are certainly other expelled females, and if one of them, a sister, Ji or Li, joins it and becomes its right and left arm, then they have a new foundation, seize a new territory, and build a huge group like Da. Perhaps, Jiang's future will be like this, with a big family of his own.
The E's family is also wandering in strange places, and when the real threat, a fierce eagle, appears, they will rush into the unknown territory in a panic to find cover. Qian was the first to rush into a hole in the ground, but fell into a trap. It was in big trouble in the dark, leaving a small wound on its left shoulder. This must have been a snake bite. It stumbled into the snake's den and was bitten by a huge swollen viper. A person who is bitten by this snake will die. The injured Qian staggered all the way to catch up with his family, but Eun Ai couldn't help but stand not far away and watch it. Qian's injury, E looked in her eyes, and the pain was in her heart. In the end, Qian struggled to return to the newly found nest alone. It gradually lost consciousness at this time, but fortunately it rushed back to the cave in time. At dusk, Qian could barely breathe. But it was strong enough to survive the whole night; then it struggled through the next day; then, on the morning of the third day... A miracle happened, and somehow it actually walked. It's incredible that an animal of this size could withstand the bite of a poisonous snake, and it was in a state of near-death for two days, and now it's bouncing around again! Now, Qian was no different from other foxes. The life force of the foxes is very tenacious, they may have some immunity to snake venom, but they will also be bitten by the snake, and Qian has survived in an incredible way. Within a few days, it was as lively and active as before.
The driest of the Namib Desert, because of the erosion of showers, many creatures are exposed to the ground. This is the first time Xi has encountered flying ants. The soft parts of the flying ants can be enjoyed like butter, but the foxes feed mainly on their wings, because the flying ants have almost no flesh except for a pair of wings. When the flatstone lizard jumps up and devours flying insects, it is easy to think of flying dragons. But whether it's a dragon or not, the foxes will eat them. Having become physically strong and energetic, he is now more focused on making an effort, being able to judge on his own the best place to find food and serve food to his younger siblings. Dai's youngest cub finally escaped the chase of death and was lucky enough to survive to the rainy season. This should be attributed to Da's resourcefulness and extensive experience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="129" > seventh, the redemption of rain and the growth of the fox family</h1>
Although the rainy season is long overdue, it has finally arrived, and the long wait of other desert residents has finally come to an end. Rainwater is precious, not a drop can be wasted, all animals and plants are using rainwater to reproduce and grow. The fox family also enjoys the riches of the rainy season happily. The rainy season brings new life, And dai has 6 newborn cubs, and a new challenge begins. The chances of the family being stronger are greater, but it takes 6 little ones to survive the early months. This is a great time for Xi Da to show his skills, and he may be able to do his best to help take care of and teach his younger brother like his older brother Tai. The newborn 6 babies coincide with the good season, they are the pride of heaven, tea to reach out and eat to open their mouths. Although the Dai family has been successful this year, it still cannot be complacent.
Eun also wasted no time in giving birth to 5 cubs. This is a nightmare for Qian. Although it can bully these weak little guys as much as it wants, it can no longer continue to beg for food from its mother, it must dig up bugs to fill its stomach, and fight against the fat-tailed scorpion. However, growing pains are inevitable, and Qian must learn to be independent. Qian's family has grown now, and it still has to take care of its younger siblings, and the burden on its shoulders is really not light. Fortunately, Qian is healthy after being bitten by a poisonous snake; Lie is also a good father, and E and his cubs will have a good future. Together, they form a united camp of foxes to tackle challenges together.
It is still possible to survive in the Namib Desert, as long as it can endure the harsh environment, the animals that can adapt can survive here like foxes, and there are few animals to match. Torrential rains brought hope to this corner of the Namib, the desert was revived, and the harsh times of the midsummer sun were far away. Now Xi can guard, teach and protect the little one, just as Tai once did with it. When the little guy found the ground squirrel so interesting, Xi was forgotten. Not so long ago, Xi may have been a weak link in the family, but now it is a key member of the family and is trustworthy. The road ahead is not easy, and it is the same for all foxes. But in the Namib Desert, high temperatures and sand make survival more difficult. He has matured and understands what it means to be an adult fox, and he is old enough to do his duty for the family: to guard, to protect, to teach future generations how to survive.
The jackal is back, and it's in the neighborhood. When Xi and Jackal meet on the narrow road, Xi loses his sister Mo. Xi raised an alarm and stared closely at the jackal's every move. But today the jackal had something else on his mind, his 5 hungry babies, calling out a kilometer away. Jackal babies are only four years old and must be fed by their mothers. The female jackal was supposed to share the responsibility of caring for the child with her partner. But the desert took the life of the male jackal, so it became a single mother. It's not a good idea to leave your baby to forage, but it has no other choice, and it hasn't eaten for days. If your baby doesn't eat, he may not last long, but he knows where to go to find food at this time.
When inland resources are scarce, jackals can trek more than 30 kilometers, traveling between desert and coastal areas. South African fur seals gather here every year to give birth, and there are a total of 24 different settlements along the Atlantic coast, each with up to hundreds of fur seals. It is no coincidence that the fur seal colony is assembled here, and the sea here is an ideal foraging ground. The cold Benguela Current from Antarctica provides stable nutrients that nourish large schools of fish. The fish raise large schools of fur seals. This is a rare opportunity for animals that dare to brave the fierce fur seal array. The mother jackal approaches cautiously, and the fur seal will fiercely protect its baby. The jackal ventured through the herd of fur seals, picked up a dead pup, and left with the booty. It walked 15 kilometers to the beach, so it took most of the afternoon to get back to the baby, and their long wait was coming to an end. The mother jackal seems to return empty-handed, and the jackal will regurgitate the meat eaten to the baby, so that the female jackal can not worry about the food being snatched away by others, and partially digested food can help the little jackal digest protein. They don't have to go to bed hungry tonight.
Xi found signs of trouble again, and in the distance there was a strange fox sneaking closer. Family size is crucial to defending territory and conquering territory, so the fox is always trying to reduce the number of members of neighboring families, and will not hesitate to kill each other's babies whenever they have the opportunity. If this is a sentry sent by a rival family, Dae must lead the family to defend her baby, and they hurriedly take the 6 cubs to safety. This is a very robust tactic, they hide the baby in the hole and hold the hole. The young Rong stayed in the cave to protect the little fox, while the other members set out to stop the invaders. It was Dai who took the lead, but after getting closer, it found that the other party was not here to fight, it turned out to be the concubine who had been kicked out. At the risk of being beaten, it bravely tried to return home. The concubine crawled forward, showing a sense of submission. The concubine admits defeat and pleads with her to accept it again. The concubine had obviously given up on the idea of seizing the throne of her eldest sister. Dai relieved herself of her previous suspicions and accepted her sister's request to go home. Seeing that the crisis is lifted, the little fox can no longer hide. Members of the fox family, separated for months, are busy marking territory with their sense of smell to re-consolidate family feelings. The concubine returned home, its long suffering finally came to an end, and the family was once again fully assembled. #Almighty Creator ##生物多样性 #
