Chapter 42 A Relatively Peaceful Life
No matter what, Chu Ye knew that he had to try his best to live, and he had to face any dangers and difficulties with strength.
After this incident, the male lion seemed to realize that it was its fault. In the following days, whenever the lionesses were not around, it would stay with the cubs.
Especially at night, Jike would always lie down next to the bushes, diligently fulfilling its duty to protect the lion cub.
Chu Ye has been extremely cautious these past few days. Although he can protect himself and doesn't need to worry about being attacked by other predators, he is always concerned about the safety of the other lion cubs.
However, after this incident of wild dogs attacking the lion pride, the Jike pride remained quiet for many days.
For the past ten days or so, everything has been very peaceful, as if nothing is going to happen.
At first, Zeke was able to fulfill his responsibilities diligently and protect the lion cubs.
But as time went on, the lion king lost patience. Male lions don't usually like to look after cubs; they probably think raising offspring is the lionesses' job.
So sometimes, the male lion would wander back into its territory. It probably felt that no other predators would come to ambush the cubs.
However, Chu Ye was not entirely at ease. He knew that the more peaceful the days, the more dangerous things were brewing.
For the lion cubs in the pride, it all feels like it's all over. They don't worry about danger all the time.
The lion cubs continued playing and frolicking as if nothing had happened.
Chu Ye is not like these little lions, who are carefree all day long. He is a little lion with a human soul. He has lofty dreams. He cannot be like the other little lions, just living day by day.
"I can't just play around like other lion cubs. I have to keep an eye out for other predators that might ambush me."
Every night, Chu Ye would climb up the big tree and watch the surroundings. If anything seemed amiss, he would tell the lion cubs to scatter and run away.
Fortunately, after that wild dog attack, the Jike pride remained very peaceful for several days, and even some stray male lions stopped bothering them.
Lisa and Aisha have been hunting diligently these past two days and have managed to catch some small prey, which is enough to sustain their pride for the time being.
Chu Ye and the other lion cubs are now five months old and are gradually adapting to a carnivorous lifestyle. Lisa and Aisha no longer nurse their cubs much, mainly feeding them solid food instead.
The two lionesses often return home after eating their fill at the hunting grounds, where they regurgitate semi-digested food to feed their cubs.
As a human, Chu Ye certainly couldn't accept this way of raising cubs.
Therefore, Chu Ye basically doesn't eat the food regurgitated by the two lionesses. He's already capable of hunting on his own.
Chu Ye's weight is currently only around 20 kilograms. He only needs to eat two or three kilograms of food at each meal to be able to go two or three days without feeling hungry.
Animals' eating habits are completely different from humans'. Humans should not compare their eating habits with those of animals.
If you insist on understanding animals according to human lifestyles, you're completely wrong. The powerful ability of animals to adapt to their environment, which they have evolved over millions of years, far exceeds human imagination.
Lions, for example, can go without food for a month after eating just one meal.
This doesn't mean they can eat their fill once and then go a month without hunger. It simply means they have an exceptionally high tolerance for hunger, and they wouldn't be in any danger even if they went hungry for a month.
But for humans, let alone going without food for a month, even going without food for three days would be life-threatening.
If lions, like humans, would starve to death if they didn't eat for three days, then all the lions on this vast grassland would have starved to death long ago, and we wouldn't see lions at all now; they might have gone extinct long ago.
In fact, felines like lions can go a month without food or water when food is scarcest.
Cold-blooded reptiles like snakes and crocodiles can go for months without eating once they have a full meal.
Therefore, animals' survival skills are far superior to those of humans.
This only considers its ability to resist hunger. If we also talk about immunity, then it far surpasses that of humans.
Humans like us need to eat very clean food that has been heated and sterilized at high temperatures.
Even so, we still get sick frequently.
The animals, on the other hand, eat food covered in dirt and dust every day, and even some rotten and spoiled food, yet they rarely get sick.
If we compare the immunity of animals to that of humans, then humans are essentially immune to nothing.
Take the current pandemic as an example. We all know that these viruses may have spread from animals to humans. However, these viruses are harmless in animals, but become deadly in humans.
This is because humans have a much lower ability to resist viruses than animals. This is why human societies constantly experience various epidemics and outbreaks.
Since human society escaped the life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, it has, to some extent, become completely detached from nature.
Humans are meant to belong to nature, and if you separate yourself from nature, degeneration will inevitably occur. The reason why humans suffer from various diseases is because our bodies are constantly degenerating.
This is because our bodies are separated from nature. Without the many things in nature that protect our bodies, our bodies become the easiest targets for viruses to attack.
We eat perfectly clean and hygienic food, yet we suffer from all sorts of illnesses. Isn't that ridiculous?
If we humans had half the immunity of animals, we humans would basically not get sick.
If we compare humans and animals in terms of illness, then animals practically never get sick. After all, animals rarely get sick. Only very old animals are likely to fall ill; young and healthy animals are generally immune.
