Chapter 404 Pelican Training Camp (Fourth)

African lions live in groups. Male lions are responsible for guarding the territory at home and protecting their offspring, while female lions are responsible for hunting.

It's the exact opposite of human beings.

But this is also a natural choice, because the male lion is big, equivalent to a tank in the game, and its blood is thick and suitable for defending the city.

And the lioness is the ADC, small and flexible, more suitable for catching prey that is good at running on the grassland.

It's just that this family is a little bit miserable. There seems to be only one female lion, and it can't hunt because of such serious injuries. The male lion is also at a disadvantage when defending the territory without enough food.

Judging from this posture, this territory should soon change owners.

Olsen was a little sad at this time. She had been in a normal mood since she witnessed the wildebeest mother being eaten by the crocodile.

Tang Tian took several photos for her.

It was fate that the lioness was seen by them three times.

But while filming, Tang Tian discovered that there was a very small head behind the hungry lion.

It was a newborn cub.

This also seems to explain why the female lion will attack the buffalo herd without hesitation.

If it doesn't do that, the little lion will starve to death sooner or later.

The wildebeest would rather die in the mouth of the crocodile for the baby wildebeest, and the lioness rushed to the herd of buffaloes for the cub.

This is probably the simplest and truest maternal love on the African savannah.

The little lion was howling and looking very hungry.

The lioness struggled to walk to it, and then lay down.

The little lion sucked furiously at the nipple, but nothing could be sucked out of his shriveled body, and he lay there motionless after sucking for a while.

I don't know if I fainted from hunger.

Tang Tian put down the binoculars, beckoned Olsen to go back.

If Olsen sees this again, he will probably feel sad again.

After packing up their things, they were about to leave the grassland here.

"shit!"

But at this moment, the tour guide suddenly cursed, and then quickly took it out of the trunk.

The bodyguards also tensed up.

It turned out that the two lions not far away walked towards them again.

This time the tour guide was loaded directly.

They had finished their food, and this time it was two lions. Even if the procedure was a bit more troublesome, they didn't want to fight hand-to-hand with the lions.

"Ow~ oh..."

The male lion uttered a low-pitched cry, which began to grow high, but then became weaker and weaker.

The bodyguards raised their guns nervously.

"etc!"

At this time, the tour guide signaled them not to shoot.

He should have understood something.

"put it down."

The guide motioned for the others to put their guns down.

After waiting for a while, when the lioness saw that Tang Tian and the others hadn't shot it, she lowered her head and brought the cub to a few meters in front of them.

Putting down the cub, he licked it for the last time, then turned and walked back to the lion.

"They want you to keep its babies."

The tour guide said at this time that he had stayed here for a long time, and he had several judgments on some of the behaviors of these animals, including the previous calls.

Want them to keep it?

Tang Tian was very surprised when he heard this, but slowly, he seemed to understand.

He could tell that these two lions were dying, and the lion must know better.

It was only a matter of time before this fainted lion cub became food for other lions or hyenas.

Just like the wildebeest in front would sacrifice itself for the little wildebeest, the lion obviously doesn't want to see his child die in front of his eyes.

So they took a risk one last time.

And the reason why they chose Tang Tian and the others was probably just because they had given them a piece of meat before.

But it was enough. Judging from their appearance, they should have not eaten for a long time. A piece of meat can make them live for a few more days.

"Raise it."

Olsen spoke at this time, his eyes full of hope.

Tang Tian nodded. It is said that Green's family has a big boa constrictor, and it is not bad for him to have a lion.

The tour guide went to the trunk and took out a blanket, and walked carefully to the little lion.

After snorting with his hand, he nodded to Tang Tian and the others, indicating that the lion was still alive, and then hugged it back.

After the lioness and male lion saw the cub being carried away, they then turned and returned to their territory.

"There is milk in my tribe. It must have fainted from hunger. Drink some milk and it will get better."

After getting on the bus, the tour guide said.

"What's your name?"

Tang Tian asked one more question.

"Embiid, my friend."

The tour guide replied with a smile.

Tang Tian was taken aback for a moment.

Embiid? This guy's surname is actually the same as "Great Emperor", which is quite interesting.

"I will remember, I will come to see you next time when I come to Baoqi."

he said with a smile.

"Thank you, my friends, you are good people."

After Embiid finished speaking, he drove them back.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when we left the nature reserve.

After the temperature dropped, the animals that had been resting under the trees began to move around on the grassland again.

In the hot summer, for many animals here, the night is when their real activities begin.

So at night, the nature reserve does not allow tourists to spend the night in it.

Embiid's tribe is nearby. After going out, he went to help get some milk, opened the mouth of the little lion and fed it.

After feeding some, the little lion woke up after ten minutes.

It looked a little scared, but it was too small, and it couldn't even stand upright if it wobbled.

The lion is small enough, which is why Tang Tian is willing to raise it.

No matter what kind of animal, as long as it is raised from an early age, it will not be so wild, and it will treat the people it raises as its family.

The bodyguards have completed the relevant procedures for them, and they can leave the country with the cub.

Tang Tian gave Embiid double the money and left his contact information.

I stayed in Baoqi for the last night, and I also fought fiercely all night with the sounds of various animals in the grassland.

Early the next morning, they flew back to New Orleans.

The experience of this trip to Africa is still very good.

I ate delicious seafood, experienced a different new venue, and even brought back a little lion.

To say that the only regret is probably not being able to see the legendary African poisonous snake black mamba.

Walker and the others are still training in New York, but Tang Tian has passed, and the training camp for the Pelicans is about to begin.

The start time of each team's training camp is different. Like the Spurs, which just won the championship, it will start a little later.

But for those like the Pelicans who went back to fish early without playing in the playoffs, the training camp will definitely start earlier.

After bringing the cub back, Olsen became an animal expert, taking care of all kinds.

But in this way, Tang Tian could also concentrate on the court.

On September 6, the Pelicans' training camp officially began.

Tang Tian came to the arena early in the morning.

The New Orleans Arena is a new arena built in 1999. In 2002, the original Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans, and it became the team's home stadium.

One of the interesting things is that the New Orleans Arena and the New Orleans Football Stadium behind it are next to each other.

The newly built arena was originally quite large, but at first glance, it is only one-third the size of the rugby stadium behind it.

It was a spectacle.
