This is a valley that is not too big, but it is not too small on this grassland. There are shrubs and woods in the valley, and there are rock caves that can be kept dry during the rainy season, and there are also caves in the dry season that are not too excessive. Pond with some water source.

For a female Pads who has just started raising her cubs, this is really a good territory, even if she can't monopolize the entire valley, but only half of it and some areas outside the rocky mountain on one side, it is really Excellent.

Eve is quite satisfied with her current life.

She has been away from her mother for three years. She has passed through many places and tested many males. It was not until last year that she obtained such a territory.

But the two years of wandering are still very worthwhile. Although the male Padstyron who owns this territory is a little bit older, he is still strong and brave, with strong genes, which made her have three cubs in her first pregnancy. , and the newborn children are very healthy and strong.

For Pads who are used to being alone, having multiple children is actually not a common good thing. After all, Pads does not need to count on walking with brothers after adulthood to increase the survival rate like Nonis. , but siblings are competitors who divide food and protection when they are young.

However, Eve is still full of confidence and wants to raise the three cubs well.

She thinks this should not be a problem. The two female Pads adjacent to her territory, well, although they had a small hatred when she seized the territory, Cecilia in the west is just like her, just a primitive Even if she didn't completely snatch her territory this time, it wasn't because of incompetence, but it wasn't worth it when she entered a new field, for the last bit of poverty It’s just too much energy spent on the place——

Eve was sure that the old female with poor eyesight would not dare to provoke her easily.

Charlotte in the east is a strong opponent. She is one of the rare evolutionary species in this area. She is a few years older than Eve, who has just entered sexual maturity for two years. She has successfully raised two cubs. Whether it is physical strength or experience, it is the best time for female Pads.

But she and Eve were pregnant at about the same time and gave birth at about the same time. Although only one male cub was born, when the prey is still abundant, a female Pads with cubs will never provoke the other, because No one wants their cubs to suffer anger and revenge due to their unnecessary actions.

Eve and Charlotte don't count as an alliance—

Pads almost never form alliances. Even female Pads basically only have mothers to take care of their newly independent children, but this kind of care is limited to when food is abundant and the hunting skills are still immature. (In fact, most of the time, they eat her leftovers. Children who go out independently don’t have the kind of treatment that they enjoy the tenderest and most delicious parts of prey before their mothers. They can eat leftovers. Their mothers are extra loving and strong enough), the wariness engraved in their genes makes them more accustomed to being alone after they grow up—but even if there is no possibility of alliance, the special situation and necessary considerations make the two ends adjacent to each other The resident females have a tacit understanding with each other, they carefully avoid each other, each raises their own cubs, and even helps each other a little in some necessary situations.

Basically, female Pads are not willing to let their cubs come into contact with other Pads until they become independent. Well, even if the Pads are their own mothers, sisters, or the daughters of the previous independents, males are more No, not even for males who own the territory.

[PS Generally speaking, the male who owns this territory = the cub's real father~] Pads are the kind of lifestyle with one male and more females.

Males must have a large territory, and females divide their own territory in his territory and live independently on weekdays. Only the first females will find males, and they will part ways after they are used up. If females are lucky and give birth smoothly, then What's more, even the males who are not particularly vigilant when they usually encounter them will be included in the first-level alert category: the female Pads will never allow any males to approach her cubs. Even if it is the cub's own father, absolutely not!

So male Pads usually live like that, except that they will be pulled out for use in the first season, and other times they are completely single and lonely. The cubs are not light or heavy, and the male Nils who is slapped by the females can despise them!

[Pades: Obviously I am the one who can climb trees!You soft rice kings who even rely on their wives for hunting! 】【Nils: I'm only responsible for protecting the territory, and it's enough to be diligent enough to deal with super-large prey once in a while!Envious?No matter how envious or jealous you are, your wife won’t let you eat for nothing, and she won’t slap you because you treat the cubs lightly or hard—you’re not even close to the cubs, there’s no chance of being serious or serious~ 】←←Yes, Tyron is such a hard-working male Pads.

He has occupied this territory for 11 years. During these ten years, except for consolidating the territory + the first year of being in love with his wife (accurately, there is only one dry season, not a whole year), every year has been wasted. The female is pregnant.

Even if not every pregnant female can give birth smoothly in the end, and not every cub can grow up smoothly, the number of children of Tyrannosaurus is quite impressive!

For example, this year, four females were pregnant. Although only three gave birth to healthy cubs, one of them was suffocated to death in the stomach because of the long time of delivery. That's a total of six The cub survived.

→→ As a result, Tai Lun couldn't grab even a bite of it!

The closest contact he had with his children, or more precisely, with his sons, was the gnashing of claws and teeth every time he expelled his grown-up son from his territory.

I really cried when I said it!

In the Nils group in the adjacent territory, although there have been five rounds of male Nils in the past 11 years, there was even one time when three brothers were together because they were too young and immature to drive away the old male Nils. However, before the first season of the female Nils group, they were expelled by the other end, which was more vigorous, or in the last round, some unlucky guy finally managed to deal with the group in the first season. As a result, little Nils was defeated and expelled by another stronger male less than half a year after he was born. Even little Nils was only allowed to stay with female cubs. The little male was unlucky He was bitten to death on the spot, and luckily escaped from this territory under the cover of his mother, but it is obvious how low the chance of survival for a stray cub without the protection of its mother is.

Half a year old cub, the deciduous teeth have not been replaced yet!

But even if they are such unlucky ones, except for the three young men who failed to keep their cubs, and of course did not enjoy the fun of teasing the cubs, the guy who has only lived with females for less than a year has some The warm interaction of pawing down the cub (although it is often followed by more enthusiastic slaps and growls from his wife).

Tai Lun thought that he was much better than those male Nils who were neither light nor heavy. At least he could climb trees, which was a delicate job that even female Nils could not do.

And he is generous enough to his cubs, not to mention being like Niels, who waits for his wives to come back from hunting for a soft meal every day, but also domineeringly shoots his wives and children aside and takes the lead by himself. When prey is in short supply, they fight against other top predators, and try their best to bring some food to the female who is pregnant or has cubs, but the result?

The female either doesn't accept his prey at all, or does the prey do and want to get closer to the cubs?

Still no way!

#This world is really cruel! #

But although Tai Lun is only a primitive species, it is not an ordinary primitive species.

He was born in a "big family" where his father, mother, and even half of the females in his father's territory were evolutionary species.

Although that big family also emphasized their own independent living space, his mother never felt at ease that he and his father would approach alone, but at any rate, when his father brought enough fresh and delicious prey, it changed into another kind that was relatively less threatening. In the big form, the mother will occasionally let the father touch him, although it is limited to the paws (not close to the abdomen and neck), ears (not close to the forehead, etc.).

Tai Lun is a lucky one who has enjoyed the "gentle" paternal love of the male Pads.

After forming his own family, he is also very happy to make his cub a lucky one, but it is so difficult.

The wariness of Pades females towards males is almost genetically engraved, and even the evolved Charlotte refuses to let him approach the cubs.

It's been ten years since Tyronn first peeked at her first pregnant female from a branch!

For ten years, his happiest enjoyment has been peeking for a while at a distance that can be reached by about three jumps (it's really not a pleasure to expel sub-adult sons), and most of the time, he hasn't even seen the spots on the cubs clearly , he will be roared and driven away by the vigilant female~~o(>_<)o~~ His heart has also been abused over and over again by the indifferent female and the cub who blindly believes in the mother's extreme views.

But the world has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the world like first love.

Thirteen years ago, with such a belief, Tai Lun left his father's territory and wandered for more than two years. After experiencing many near-deaths and surviving, he finally took over this territory.

And 13 years later, relying on such persistence, he finally waited for the first cub, which ignored the female's warning and allowed him to approach.

A fluffy gray ball of fur with spots almost identical to Tyranid's.

Eve named him Caesar.
