Chapter 299 Tiger Mom’s Hunting Tutorial
There was a pop.
The bluish-red gallnut looks like a fruit, but it is actually hollow inside and contains gas.
When Brother Nan broke it, it exploded and sprayed out gray dust like smoke.
Li Mu had already taken a few steps back holding the yogurt, so he was not sprayed.
Brother Nan was unaware of the situation and his hands were covered in spray.
brush!
Brother Nan suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Mu fiercely. If looks could kill, his heart would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
"I didn't have the time to remind you," Li Mu explained palely.
"Humph!"
Brother Nan didn't bother with him and looked down at the split gallnut.
The gallnut is filled with densely packed red aphids. If someone with trypophobia sees it, they will probably feel uncomfortable for several days.
"Hey, can this kind of insect be used as medicine?" Brother Nan looked down at the gallnut in his hand.
The cat also woke up and stretched its neck to look.
Li Mu held her and walked closer to Brother Nan, saying, "You can't use it directly like this. You have to boil it or steam it until the surface turns gray to kill the aphids inside. You can then take it out and dry it before you can use it.
"In traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to the lung, large intestine and kidney meridians, and can treat chronic cough due to lung deficiency, phlegm cough due to lung heat, diarrhea and night sweats, etc."
"Oh."
Brother Nan nodded, "What is this gray powder that is sprayed out?"
"."
"Why are not you talking?"
"Nothing, throw it away and wash your hands."
"Say!"
Li Mu pursed his lips and looked at Brother Nan with a guilty look on his face: "But you asked me to say it?"
"Stop nagging, just speak up!"
"It's the excrement of the gall aphid."
After saying this, Li Mu took two steps back.
"."
Brother Nan was silent for a moment, threw away the gallnuts, clapped his hands, turned his head and looked at Li Mu: "Why are you hiding? There are still bugs in the cherries we eat. We still eat them. This is called natural. Bring me some water to wash my hands."
"Ok."
Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
five minutes later.
Brother Nan and the well-rested Yogurt went to chase the birds.
Li Mu followed behind with an expressionless face, silently thinking that this woman had no martial ethics.
Not long after, Brother Nan suddenly ran back with yogurt.
"Li Mu, I saw the mother tiger! She is teaching the tiger cubs how to hunt. Let's go and take a look!"
"it is good."
Li Mu nodded and followed Brother Nan to a forest.
Except for the last time when Tiger Mom, Wolf Mom and the golden eagle helped him hunt the wild boar king, he had never seen Tiger Mom hunting.
This time I encountered it, and it was a good opportunity to appreciate the hunting skills of the king of the forest on the spot, and it was also a good opportunity for my cat to learn from it.
Brother Nan pulled Li Mu up a hillside and pointed to a grove of trees at the foot of the hillside: "It's right there, do you see it?"
"I saw it."
Li Mu has excellent eyesight and can see far, so he can clearly see every detail of the tiger mother and her two cubs.
The same is true of a cat's eyesight.
Sister Nan spread out the picnic blanket and took out her military binoculars.
The two people and the cat sat on the hillside and looked carefully. They saw the tiger mother crouching down and walking slowly in the jungle, and the tiger cubs followed behind her, sniffing around.
After all, they were young and at the age where they loved to play, so the brother and sister would fight from time to time while walking, and the little tiger's paws would occasionally make noises when they stepped on the dead leaves on the ground.
"Roar!"
The tiger mom stopped walking, turned around and growled at the siblings.
Li Mu no longer restricted his hearing, and the sounds from afar suddenly came clearly into his ears. Tiger Mom was scolding the siblings, complaining that they walked with too big movements and made too much noise.
Wild animals are extremely vigilant. After all, in the wild, they face life-and-death struggles every day. Either you become my food, or I become yours.
Therefore, the slightest movement would alert the prey, not to mention the tiger cubs who were playing and walking at the same time.
The siblings lowered their heads after being scolded by their mother.
But they also understood that their mother brought them out this time not to play, but to hunt.
The brother and sister looked at each other, put away their playful intentions, and quickly entered the mouse catching mode, crouching low and sneaking close to the ground, with each paw stepping precisely on the position of the previous paw, and the sound suddenly became quiet.
Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at the kitten beside him. The kitten noticed his gaze and looked up at him: "What are you looking at, Master Yogurt?"
"You taught me this, didn't you?"
"Well, mice have very sensitive ears, so they won't be able to hear you when you walk this way."
"That's it."
"correct."
The cat lowered its head again and said, "Stop talking, look."
Li Mu smiled, held the kitten's gently swinging tail, and continued to look at the woods.
Tiger Mom watched the siblings' actions, shook her beard, and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
Next, three tigers, one big and two small, moved slowly forward in a stealthy posture, searching for the scent of prey.
The Siberian tiger's diet is very diverse.
Wild deer, bison, wild goats, red deer, musk deer, roe deer, etc. It can be said that all the birds and beasts in the forest are on its menu.
Top predators are so domineering.
I don’t know if it’s just bad luck.
The tiger mother led her two cubs to explore along the way. Apart from the squirrels in the trees and some birds, there were only hares, pheasants and mice.
The mother tiger didn't even look at any of this. She probably wanted to teach her cubs how to hunt medium to large prey.
But the tiger cub brother and sister were very jealous of the rat.
The brother and sister felt so distressed watching the fat mice slipping away right under their noses, because they were all moving rat meat!
If the tiger mom hadn't stopped them, they would have had a great harvest long ago.
At the same time, I was a little confused. Rats were so delicious, why didn’t my mother catch them?
The brother and sister shook their heads and simply stopped looking at the mice. They didn't feel bad if they couldn't see them, and continued to follow their mother in search of prey.
This scene was also seen by netizens in the live broadcast room through the camera of the mobile phone.
The hunting instruction of wild Siberian tigers caused the number of people online in the live broadcast room to grow exponentially, with comments surging and gifts being given non-stop.
At the same time, CCTV building in Beijing.
Gu Cuihong, director of the operations center, stared at the big screen and said to her assistant, "We need to record all these images as part of our documentary."
"Roger that!"
Li Mu has been observing the actions of the tiger mother and her two cubs.
Gradually, he also understood the significance of Tiger Mom bringing the cubs out this time.
The tiger mom wanted the siblings to observe and learn how she hunted medium and large animals so that they could accumulate experience, but she did not expect the siblings to actually catch one.
They are still too small and unrealistic.
The mother tiger walked slowly, looking back at her two cubs from time to time, her expression becoming more and more satisfied.
The brother and sister have caught mice many times with Suanrou, and they also play and fight with other kids in the yard. They have learned many skills without realizing it.
Compared with tiger cubs of the same age, the brother and sister can now beat them.
