Chapter 545: Vultures circling in the sky

In fact, for carnivores, hunting can be roughly divided into two hunting situations, one is teamwork and the other is hunting alone. These two forms have their own advantages and disadvantages.

If you hunt in a group, the success rate is very high. However, after catching the prey, everyone shares it. In this case, there are two situations. If the prey hunted together is relatively large, everyone can share a share.

Soup. If the prey you hunt is relatively small, it may not be enough.

If you hunt alone, your success rate will be much lower, but once you succeed, you can enjoy your prey alone. Therefore, these two hunting methods have their own advantages.

It's just that wild dogs are relatively weak. It's almost impossible for them to hunt alone, so they rarely hunt alone.

But hyenas are different. Relatively speaking, hyenas are relatively powerful. A single adult hyena can defeat an adult cheetah. Therefore, hyenas sometimes still like to hunt alone, so that they may get more food.

.

But when hyenas act alone, they are in danger. Once they encounter a group of wild dogs, a lone hyena will be in trouble.

Therefore, the African wild dog is also a very powerful animal.

African wild dogs, also called variegated wolves, have a body length of 100 cm, a tail length of 30-45 cm, and a weight of 17-36 kg. The coat color is messy, including black, yellow and white, and each individual has different coat color markings. The forelimbs have no claws.

.The premolars are larger and can grind large bones, similar to hyenas. They live in groups and use calls to locate themselves.

Adult African wild dogs weigh 18-34 kilograms, are 85-141 cm long, and have a tail length of 30-45 cm. The difference between the sexes is not big, and males are about 3-7% larger than females. African wild dogs in southern Africa are usually larger than those in eastern and eastern Africa.

The ones in the west are larger.

The coat color of African wild dogs is significantly different from that of other canines. Their coat colors are strange and gorgeous. Like zebras, the markings of each African wild dog are unique. No two have the same color spots, so

It can be easily identified by the color spots.

There are areas of brown, red, black, yellow and white on their bodies, as if a painter had randomly applied the colors on them. Their fur is short and sparse, even bald in places.

But generally speaking, their heads are darker in color and have white fur on their tails. Their ears are big and round, and they are usually upright on the top of their heads, which is very eye-catching. Their bodies are slender, their legs are long and muscular, and each foot has four legs.

A toe. The African wild dog is the only canine whose forelimbs do not have upper claws.

African wild dogs are cooperative hunting animals and live in close groups. Each group has a pair of leading dogs that can breed. They mark their territory with urine. Their lifespan is about 10 years. They are led by the leader and hunt within the territory. The female leader

Other females in the group are not allowed to breed, and female African wild dogs will take turns caring for the newborn puppies. They behave like puppies, and they are generally submissive and rarely domineering.

They will lick their lips, lie on their backs, hold their ears flat, and chatter without making eye contact. If they meet with bared teeth, an erect tail, or a stalking posture, these may indicate the intention to ambush other wild dogs.

No stalking threat is found within dingo families. If there is a physical conflict leading to a serious fight, this is very rare. If one of the dingoes tries to grab the other dingo by the throat, the other will grab the ground and play dead.

Until the other party gives up.

African wild dogs are animals that attach great importance to teamwork. They usually hunt and live together.

This is mainly because African wild dogs are smaller and not as powerful as hyenas. Because of this, African wild dogs always maintain teamwork.

At this point, hyenas are not as united as African wild dogs. There is a strong fight for power within the hyena group. This may be the reason why some male lion hyenas are never willing to succumb to the female lion leader.

As long as the African wild dogs unite, they will dare to fight even if they encounter a lion. Because of this, the African wild dogs are considered a powerful team on the savannah, and they have also won the reputation of the third brother of Africa.

After hearing what Chu Ye said, the fat man asked in confusion, "If it was an African hyena, why did it only eat the internal organs? Wild dogs are also social animals. If they want to eat food, they can quickly eat it."

Did you eat the whole prey?'

After hearing what the fat man said, Chu Ye said, "This is what I am very puzzled about. If they are wild dogs, then they should hunt and eat together like hyenas. Why do they only eat internal organs and not animals?"

Where's your body!'

‘Yes! So, although the boss’s analysis is reasonable, it also has flaws!’ the fat man said again.

Chu Ye didn't say anything for the time being, it was thinking about this issue.

It's just that this problem is really confusing, and I can't figure out what's going on.

At this time, the fat man said again, 'Boss, since we can't understand this problem, let's forget it and let's run away!'

After hearing this, Chu Ye said helplessly, 'Okay, let's run away first. If we encounter any abnormal situation, we will solve this matter later.'

Chu Ye felt that there was no point in thinking about this issue here all the time. It was better to run away first and then think about this issue slowly.

So, Chu Ye led Fatty and Feifei and started walking forward along the river bank again.

As Chu Ye walked, he also warned everyone, "Everyone should be more careful. It seems that there are some special animals in this place."

After hearing this, Fatty and Feifei nodded in agreement.

In this way, they walked forward for several hundred meters without feeling anything was wrong. Everything seemed to be normal.

Chu Ye accidentally looked up at the sky and saw a group of vultures circling in the sky not far away, as if they had discovered some prey.

Vultures are also very magical animals on the prairie. They look a bit ugly and like to eat carrion, which makes people feel that this animal is an evil animal.

However, it makes sense for humans to judge this kind of animal this way. After all, if you see a vulture circling in the sky in a certain place, a bloody death event is likely to have occurred below.

Of course, this is just a problem that humans look at from a secular perspective. If you look at it from the perspective of nature, all this is perfectly normal.
