Chapter 323 The hippo wants to eat meat

However, these female lions did not take this giant hippopotamus seriously. They felt that hippos were vegetarians and would not compete with the lions for food. This hippopotamus ran over and must have wanted to eat here.

Green grass is not here to eat giraffe meat.

So, these lionesses were still there eating the minced meat from the giraffe. As for the hippopotamus that wanted to run over, they just looked up at it and continued looking for the minced meat.

The same goes for Maomao. He also stared at the hippopotamus running over, and then continued to compete with the lionesses for food.

However, Chu Ye has been staring at this uninvited guest. Because Chu Ye feels that this hippopotamus is not an ordinary hippopotamus. Since it is a mutant hippopotamus, it will definitely do some unusual things.

Sure enough, when this hippopotamus ran over from a distance, it did not go looking for grass to eat. Instead, it came directly to eat giraffe meat.

This move shocked all the lions present. Chu Ye was even more shocked. After all, he never expected that this hippopotamus would come to snatch meat.

Since there was not much meat left on the giraffe, when the hippopotamus ran over, it felt that if it wanted to eat the meat, it had to drive away these female lions.

So, this hippopotamus immediately drove the lionesses away and let one of them eat the minced meat of this giraffe.

But how could Nika and Mira be willing to give up their prey to this hippopotamus, so they immediately started fighting with this hippopotamus.

Maomao was nibbling some leftover meat on the giraffe's neck just now. She was a little far away from the hippo and had not yet had a head-on conflict with the hippo.

He originally thought that this hippopotamus would not compete with lions like them for food. However, the sudden change surprised him. He did not understand how this hippopotamus could compete with lions for food.

.

Because this hippopotamus is very tall and strong. Its giant mouth also has four extremely hard and sharp tusks. As a result, the strength of hippopotamuses in the entire prairie is definitely one of the best.

It can be said that in the entire savannah, the only animal that dares to fight a hippopotamus alone is probably an elephant. Even a male lion does not dare to compete with an adult hippopotamus alone.

You know, an adult hippopotamus weighs nearly two tons. This weight is almost as heavy as a giraffe. And an ordinary male lion does not weigh more than 300 kilograms. In front of a hippopotamus weighing nearly two tons

, it’s really nothing.

Therefore, if a stray male lion encounters a hippopotamus, it will have no choice but to run away and will not dare to compete with the hippopotamus head-on.

Of course, the only animals that dare to attack hippos are lions. Because lions have strong fighting power, if they go out to hunt in groups, no matter what kind of prey they are, they can become the targets of the lions.

Hippos are also targets of lion attacks. If more than a dozen lions go hunting together, even huge hippos will become targets of lion attacks.

After all, a pride of more than a dozen lions requires a lot of food every day. If they only hunt some small prey, they obviously cannot satisfy their huge appetites.

Therefore, as long as a pride of lions goes out to hunt together, they will definitely choose some large prey. Because only by hunting large prey can all the lions in the entire pride have a full meal.

For animals living on the prairie, they can only be fed regularly during the rainy season. During the dry season, they are hungry almost every day.

Animals are not like humans, who can eat enough every day. As adults, animals live a life of having one meal but no next meal. In fact, they not only have one meal but no next meal, they may still have no food for the day.

tomorrow.

In fact, our understanding of animals is still very limited. We humans are obviously still relatively naive and ignorant in the face of the mysterious and colorful nature.

This giant hippopotamus actually started eating meat during the dry season. This phenomenon may be incomprehensible to ordinary people.

However, for Chu Ye, who has lived on the prairie for two years, this does not seem to be a very difficult thing to understand.

Of course, when Chu Ye first saw the strange behavior of this hippopotamus, he was also very surprised. Because the behavior of this hippopotamus was completely beyond Chu Ye's imagination.

But no matter what, Chu Ye quickly understood the weird behavior of this hippopotamus. After all, it is the dry season, and the animals are very hungry. For animals with astonishing appetites like hippos, if there is not a large amount

If you give them green grass to eat, they may also eat meat.

Hippos have never been absolute vegetarians. They have many opportunities to eat meat in their lives. Not only do they eat meat during the dry season, but sometimes they also eat some meat during the rainy season.

Originally, in nature, there is no clear boundary between herbivores and carnivores. Some carnivores may also eat some grass or fruits of plants when they are very hungry.

Some herbivores may also eat some meat under certain special circumstances. Although they don't like eating meat very much, sometimes they seem to have to eat some meat.

As for the mutated hippo in front of it, it felt that it needed to eat some meat. So, it wanted to come and snatch the food from these lions.

However, it may not have seen that there is a very tall and strong male lion next to these female lions, guarding these female lions.

Of course, maybe this hippo doesn't pay attention to Chu Ye and these female lions at all. It feels that with its huge size, it can completely deal with Chu Ye and these female lions.

So, this hippopotamus began to attack the female lions, Nika and Mira. It opened its big mouth and bit the head of a female lion.

Fortunately, this lioness reacted faster and quickly jumped to the side, preventing the giant hippopotamus from having its head exploded.

Just imagine, the bite force of such a giant hippopotamus must be very amazing. If the lioness just let this giant hippopotamus bite its head, it might really be doomed.
