Chapter 74 Playing with a baboon

At this time, the king baboon will also take the initiative to show friendship to the lower-status male and female baboons and groom them. This will further strengthen its status. The group of baboons also compete to flatter the king.

The king only grooms the subordinate baboons symbolically, while the lower-status baboons do their best. Therefore, the king's hair is always smooth and smooth, which can be seen at a glance.

Mainly active on the ground, it also climbs up trees to sleep or look for food. It is good at swimming and can make loud calls. It is active during the day and roosts in large branches or caves at night.

Food includes a variety of small animals and plants. Animals live in groups. The size of each group is usually 30 to 60 animals, and there are also large groups of 200 to 300 animals. There are more females, but males have a higher status.

Male East African baboons fight to determine each other's rank. Only high-ranking male baboons can mate with female baboons in estrus.

The group is led by an old and strong male baboon, with a specialized watcher responsible for warning of the approaching enemy. When retreating, the females and juveniles are the first to retreat, with the males protecting behind, making threatening roars, and even fighting back, because of their strength and bravery.

It can pose a threat to intruders. The main natural enemy is leopard.

According to scientific research, children born and raised by female baboons who like to gather together and communicate have a particularly high survival rate. The specific role that baboons' sociability plays in the prosperity of their families or genetic genes is still a mystery.

However, research data on baboons shows that communication between baboons can help groom each other and reduce the number of heartbeats, which can ease the mood. It can also accelerate the secretion of endorphins in the brain to eliminate nervousness.

Based on past observation data, psychologists also found that when male baboons face danger, they either respond in the same intimidating way or run away, while female baboons send distress signals to their partners when they face danger.

Not long ago, "Science" magazine also published research results on the way female baboons deal with emergencies. They are omnivorous and can find food in almost any environment, including vines, twigs, leaves, grass, roots, and trees.

Skin, buds, fruits (durian, rambutan, pineapple, lychee, mango, mango, fig), lichen, tubers, seeds, mushrooms, bulbs, and rhizomes.

In dry and arid areas, such as the deserts of the Northeast, they will feed on small invertebrates such as insects, grubs, spiders and scorpions. Occasionally they will also eat birds and small vertebrates. They usually drink water at noon.

Chu Ye now saw this baboon hiding in the grass. It kept peeking at the big tree in front of it.

‘Hey, what does this baboon want to do? Why is it hiding in this patch of grass?’ Chu Ye looked at the baboon in front of him. He didn’t understand what this baboon wanted to do.

It's just that Chu Ye is also hiding in this patch of grass now. He just wants to see what this baboon wants to do here.

While Chu Ye was thinking this, the baboon suddenly started running forward.

When Chu Ye saw this baboon running forward, he also ran over. He just wanted to see what this baboon wanted to do in the territory of their pride.

After this baboon ran forward for a while, it hid in a patch of grass again.

Chu Ye also hid in the grass nearby.

At this moment, Chu Ye saw a little lion from his pride, his sister Huahua, playing in the grass.

And this baboon was hiding in a patch of grass about ten meters away from Huahua. It stared at Huahua with wide eyes, salivating.

'No, this baboon wants to hunt our little lion.'

Chu Ye was now certain that this baboon wanted to hunt down the lion cub in their pride. It also wanted to hunt Huahua.

'Hmph, you are such a bold baboon. You actually dare to run wild in the territory of our pride. Let's see how I deal with you.'

When Chu Ye saw that this baboon actually wanted to run wild in the territory of their pride, he was very angry and immediately followed it again.

This baboon had no idea that there was a lion cub staring at it from behind. It also thought that no one here would notice its whereabouts.

Maybe this baboon wanted to eat a lion cub so much that it boldly ran to the core of the lion territory and brought it to him.

Huahua, on the other hand, had no idea that the danger had come. It was still playing in the grass and didn't even feel that a baboon was staring at it!

This baboon looked at Huahua and didn't notice it at all. It was also very happy and felt that it would definitely be able to catch this little lion this time.

Not only did Huahua not know that danger was coming, on the contrary, she was getting closer and closer to the baboon while playing.

'No, this baboon is going to attack Huahua. I must protect Huahua.' Chu Ye was already prepared. He knew that he had to protect Huahua. Don't say that Huahua is his sister, even if it is another little

Lion, he will also protect Huahua.

This baboon became even more excited when it saw Huahua getting closer and closer to it. When Huahua was only five or six meters away from it, it suddenly sprang out from the grass and rushed towards Huahua.

But at the same time as the baboon sprang out of the grass, Chu Ye also sprang out of the grass.

Now what is going on between Chu Ye, this baboon and Hua Hua is a good show of a mantis stalking a cicada, followed by an oriole.

This baboon never imagined that at this time, there would be another lion cub that would regard it as prey.

At this time, there were no adult lions in the Jik lion pride. The two lionesses and the male lions had gone hunting. Among the lions, only these eight cubs remained at home.

This baboon also accidentally discovered such a good opportunity to prey on a lion cub. Because when it was looking for food in the grass this morning, it saw that the male and female lions in the Jik lion group were hunting, and eight

The lion cubs were playing next to a bush and didn't even notice that a baboon was eyeing one of their little lions.

This baboon immediately pounced towards Huahua. Huahua had no idea that such a thing would happen suddenly.

When Huahua saw an adult baboon rushing towards it, it was completely frightened. It just looked at the baboon in surprise, not knowing what to do.

This baboon was frightened by the actions of this little lion, and it became even more proud. It felt that this time, it would definitely be able to hunt a little lion and taste the taste of lion meat.

Although baboons are not carnivores, they still like to eat meat. As long as they have the opportunity to kill other animals, they will kill them without mercy.

This time, this baboon wanted to hunt a lion cub and taste the lion meat.

But when this baboon just pounced in front of Huahua, before it touched Huahua's fur, he felt a sharp claw and grabbed its red buttocks.

'ah!--'

This baboon was happily trying to catch this little lion! But suddenly it was also attacked by a sneak attack, which made this baboon very scared all of a sudden.

At that time, this baboon had no idea what animal attacked it. Because its attention was all on the lion cub in front of it. It just wanted to catch the lion cub, and it didn't even notice that there were other animals behind it that wanted to catch it.

Attack it by surprise!

Huahua had frightened the baboon to death, and now she thought that it was doomed and would definitely be caught by the baboon.

But at this critical moment, this baboon was suddenly attacked by some animal. It had no chance to catch the little lion in front of it.

At that time, this baboon was very scared. It was wondering if the adult lion of this pride was back. Especially the male lion who looked very scary. What if this male lion attacked now?

If this baboon were to be killed, then this baboon would be in trouble.

This baboon couldn't care about Huahua now. It quickly turned around to see what kind of animal had attacked it. Huahua also took the opportunity to run away.

But when this baboon turned around, it was very surprised. Because the one who attacked it was not an adult lion at all, but a lion cub, not much bigger than the one just now.

‘Humph! It turned out to be a lion cub. I was shocked. I thought it was an adult lion!’ This baboon looked at Chu Ye now and was no longer nervous.

'Haha! It's also a lion cub, so I won't eat that little lion cub just now. Since this little lion cub dares to attack me, then I'll treat you as an appetizer!' This baboon also

No longer caring about where Huahua went, it changed its target to the little lion in front of it.

Chu Ye first caught the baboon, and after it safely gave up Huahua, he hid aside again. He just wanted to play with this baboon now.

When this baboon saw that Chu Ye dared to attack it, it was of course very angry. After Huahua escaped, it started to attack Chu Ye.

Chu Ye hid aside first, and when he saw this baboon coming to attack him, he deliberately ran away again.

This baboon saw Chu Ye running away, so it chased after him. How could it be willing to let Chu Ye go? Since Chu Ye dared to attack it, it must catch Chu Ye this time to relieve its anger.

Chu Ye pretended to run away first and let the baboon chase him. Not only did Chu Ye not run to where the lion cubs were, on the contrary, he ran towards the baboon's territory.

This baboon saw Chu Ye running towards their baboon territory. It was very happy and immediately chased after him.
