The dry season and the rainy season in the grassland are always distinct.
After six months of sufficient rainfall, this grassland has been revitalized with new life. Although it is a grassland, there are also many trees growing there. These trees grow very lushly during the rainy season.
However, when the rainy season passes and the dry season arrives, these green grasslands will soon turn into a dim and dim look. Such a vibrant look will disappear in the next few months.
The impact of the arrival of the dry season is not limited to these. This event also means one thing for animals, which is migration.
Xu Qiaoqiao was no stranger to this matter, but it was also her first time migrating on the prairie. She didn’t know how to move, so she and Jun Qi calculated it, and the two of them selected a group of wildebeest and secretly
Follow them.
The wildebeest herd didn't care at all about the two little tails following quietly behind them. Their base was too large, and the lions that could only threaten them were not in danger.
Jun Qi is still grateful for these free guide horses, so for the time being, the rations will not be from them, but from other migrating animals, which he has already considered.
Following the group of wildebeests, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi did not miss the route. They also encountered other animals during the process. Of course, some of them got into Jun Qi's belly.
"Qiaoqiao, do you know where to go next?"
Looking at the wildebeest that had been migrating for many days, Jun Qi felt that his patience had run out and he was too annoyed. If he slowed down a little, it would be a bit difficult.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the wildebeests in front of him. The number was really impressive. If this was really the African savanna, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't really know much about it. He had watched a video about the African savannah a long time ago.
But it's been too long, and she really can't remember many of them, especially the names of foreign places. The names are very long, and she really can't remember them.
"It's just migrating from one grassland to another." Xu Qiaoqiao mumbled, her tone a little uncertain. She really didn't understand.
Jun Qi thought about it for a few seconds. In the memory of this little lion, there was very little memory about this aspect. Even if there was any, it was migrating with his mother.
In my memory, this little lion had such an experience. He followed his mother for a long time. The mother lion said, this is a very long journey. My child, you will cherish this experience.
It's a pity that at that time, this little lion didn't understand what his mother said, so he stayed in the protection of the lions and played around all the way.
"Junjun." Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi lost in thought. He quickly walked over and bumped her chin with his head to bring his thoughts back.
"Let's go drink some water." Xu Qiaoqiao used her mouth to nuzzle the creek over there, drinking some water to replenish her fluids. Jun Qi would take a long detour every time he ate.
During the migration process, there are always animals that are too exhausted or unable to survive for various reasons, so it is common for a group to lose one or two members of the same species.
"Wait a minute." With his excellent eyesight, Jun Qi could see a few animals drinking water over there, including wildebeests, which were also leading horses. Jun Qi didn't want to scare them for the time being.
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded and agreed with Jun Qi's words. In her opinion, it was the same. After all, she helped them, even if they didn't know that they helped a lion and a deer.
They happened to encounter a small river ahead. Because of this small river, this group of wildebeests and the zebras that were walking in front stopped, drank water, replenished their energy, and after drinking the water, they continued to migrate.
After the wildebeests left, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi ran over to drink water. The cool water flowed through their throats and they felt very refreshed.
This time, the herds participating in the Great Migration were divided into "three armies": front, middle and rear.
Leading the charge are more than 200,000 wild zebras, followed closely by a million wildebeests, and behind them are 500,000 gazelles.
Of course, behind the herd of wildebeest and in front of the herd of gazelles, there is a lion and a fallow deer. The two of them are particularly special in such an environment.
Because zebras like to eat new grass in the upper layers, the tender grass in the middle layer is the food of wildebeests, and the short grass in the lower layer is the delicacy of short gazelles.
During Jun Qi's migration, the food he ate was the group of gazelles running behind him, or other animals he encountered along the way, and of course Xu Qiaoqiao ate wherever he went.
Although the dry season has arrived, the grassland at this time is still green. As long as she rests, Xu Qiaoqiao will lower her head and eat grass to replenish energy.
Following closely behind the herbivores are groups of ferocious carnivores such as African lions, cheetahs, and jackals.
At that time, Jun Qi's first thought was to follow them, but considering Xu Qiaoqiao's identity, he felt it would be safer to follow the herbivores, and there would be plenty of food.
They set off earlier.
After drinking the water, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were about to set off again. Along the previous route of the wildebeest, the two of them chased desperately.
The animals in the back, intimidated by Jun Qi's aura, waited until the two of them finished drinking the water before coming up to drink.
There's no way, that's a lion.
Even if it is a lion with a fawn, it is still a lion. It can only be said that the fawn is very courageous, and the lion is more kind.
I never thought that one day I would use kindness to describe a lion.
Although it was in the wild, there were road signs on the road from time to time. Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the road signs in front of him, greeted Jun Qi, and felt like running in that direction.
She really wanted to know where this place was, the specific location.
After almost two months of migration, I couldn't see the target ahead, the grass under my feet had changed from green to yellow, and even the taste was much worse.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought that if she met some humans, she might have better luck, so she went to ask for some food.
This is the first time for the two of them to come to such a difficult environment, even more difficult than the Amazon rainforest. At least there are green plants that cover the sky and the sun. Even in the dry season, there is no big change.
This migration will pass through the territories of two countries, Tanzania and Kenya, and the roadside that Xu Qiaoqiao saw is a symbol of Kenya.
Xu Qiaoqiao read it out stumblingly. In his memory, this seemed to be a country in Africa. Xu Qiaoqiao understood clearly that it was really the African savanna.
Jun Qi didn't understand anything about these things, so he waited quietly for Xu Qiaoqiao.
