I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 443 The Little Lion Recognizes Its Kin

```

Qiuqiu brought the cubs near and then set them down, no longer moving forward.

The two cubs also noticed the few lions here and looked on with curiosity and confusion!

In their subconscious, there was a sense of closeness, "We look a lot like mom, so we must be the same kind, right?"

Sunshine spilled onto the grass, and onto Kaka's belly!

Kaka was lying on his side on the ground, sleeping very comfortably.

The smooth belly moved rhythmically with each breath, reflecting the sunlight very conspicuously, drawing the cubs' attention.

The two little lions walked slowly towards the sunshine.

"Oh, oh, they're about to recognize each other!"

Curious, a tourist asked, "How does a male lion recognize his own children?"

Li said, "A male lion can only indirectly identify whether cubs are his by their mother.

He sniffs their scent and thinks about whether he has mated with their mother.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Then he looks at the size of the cubs and calculates the time; if it matches up, then they must be his own offspring.

For instance, there's a situation where an old lion king mates with a lioness and she becomes pregnant. Right at that time, a new lion king takes over the pride and also mates with the lioness.

When the cubs are born, they could be the old king's offspring, but the new king will assume they are all his."

"That's surprising! Do male lions actually calculate the pregnancy time?"

Zhazha stopped at a distance, staring blankly at Kaka, then sat down, unsure of what to do next.

Baba, however, was frowning, his body slightly crouched, adopting a cautious posture like that of hunting, carefully stepping forward, slowly approaching Kaka from the side.

Zhazha followed suit, head lowered, and the two little lions approached Kaka's face.

Kaka, who was sleeping, seemed to smell something, and groggily opened his eyes, startling the cubs and making them hastily step back half a step.

Kaka saw the cubs, blinked twice, and his sleepy head slowly turned around, "Oh, it's just some little lions..."

There seemed to be no big waves.

Suddenly it dawned on him, "Huh, little lions?"

He rolled over, licked his tongue as if he hadn't slept enough, and stretched his head slightly to take a sniff.

The tourists, seeing Kaka and the cubs gaze at each other, relaxed from their tension, feeling touched, "I think I saw gentleness in the big lion's eyes!"

"The male lion didn't attack, so this must be a successful recognition, right!"

"What a heartwarming scene!"

Li couldn't help but laugh and cry, "This is Kaka, not the father of the cubs! His mane is rather short; the father of the cubs is that one with the long, dark mane over there, they haven't recognized each other yet."

"Damn!"

And the tourists' hearts were lifted once again.

Kaka hadn't sniffed closely, but by this scent, they must be Qiuqiu's cubs, definitely not his own.

He lay back down but still watched the little lions with interest.

Male lions don't kill cubs from their own and their brothers' offsprings; otherwise, a pride couldn't accommodate two male lions.

Of course, there are more violent and aggressive ones, who might kill the cubs in a conflict.

In such a case, the other male lions and lionesses would be very angry!

They would beat him up and then chase him out of the pride, and such a male lion would have to wander alone.

The cubs, tails flicking, were too nervous to make eye contact with Kaka, and walked between Qiqi and Kaka.

Qiqi also smelled the scent, woke up from her sleep, and opened her eyes!

Seeing the little lions, she stood up and walked towards them.

The two lion cubs, seeing the burly and strong, maned adult lion approaching with a majestic gait, recognized it as one of their own, yet couldn't help feeling a bit of fear.

Baba stepped back half a step, sitting on the ground timidly, while Zhazha raised its paw, then put it down again.

Qiqi lowered its head to sniff the cubs intently. Not knowing the risk at hand, the cubs saw that the big lion wasn't doing much and quickly became lively again, wrestling with each other.

Qiuqiu had just put the cubs down and had been keeping an eye on them. Subconsciously, she took a step forward, stretched her neck slightly, staring unwaveringly at Qiqi and the cubs, her ears twitching occasionally.

In her actions, she expressed her concern for the young!

Fang Ye was also closely observing Qiqi's behavior, using the Eye of Observation to monitor its mood and aggression.

If anything unexpected happened, he'd quickly use a soothing skill.

Qiqi's imperial engine "rumble rumble rumble" started with a muted roar, pushing Baba to the ground and making a biting motion at its neck!

Baba let out a thin cry of "Ah ao"!

Lying on the ground with its paws up, it felt as if the big lion was playing with it.

This one was indeed its cub.

Zhazha ran to the side; Qiqi walked over in two steps, its eyes somewhat irritated as it roughhandedly slapped Zhazha to the ground.

Lying in the sun and sleeping was so comfortable, why suddenly have a child?

After biting and sniffing, it confirmed this one was also its cub.

It stopped sniffing and lifted its head, returning to its previous sleeping spot to continue lying down.

However, upon its return, it found two little cubs trailing behind excitedly.

Seeing Qiqi accept the cubs, Qiuqiu looked relieved, slowly walked over, and lay down beside Qiqi.

The two cubs started playing cheerfully in the surroundings!

Baba tugged at Qiqi's tail from behind. Qiqi abruptly sat up, turned its head back, roared, and chased it away.

Zhazha walked in front of Qiqi, rubbing its face, which annoyed Qiqi. It opened its huge mouth, showing its sharp, coarse canines, and roared loudly at the cub!

Annoying, really annoying!

At that moment, Qiuqiu intervened, wedging its head between Qiqi and Zhazha, blocking Qiqi's fierce gaze with its cheek rubbing against Qiqi's mouth, as if to soothe it.

Newborn cubs felt only affection for their own kind. Even when Qiqi glared with furrowed brows and roared menacingly, it couldn't scare them; they happily played with it.

Qiqi had complex emotions about having cubs, but after roaring for a while, it gradually accepted their presence.

Still, it was pretty annoyed.

Kaka, on the other hand, was all smiles and laughter, seeming to enjoy playing with the cubs. Every time a cub ran past, it would occasionally reach out a paw and swipe at it.

The tourists were initially startled by Qiqi roaring at the cubs.

But then they thought, with the Archdruid Fang right there, what was there to fear?

Watching the cubs play, they engaged in a happy discussion, "Wow, the lion cubs are so bold! Even bare teeth don't scare them."

"The cubs are so fun to watch, even pulling tails!"

"See how annoyed the big lion is."

Yueyue watched the cubs play, her mood seemed to brighten a lot, her eyes shining, her tail gently swishing.

Fang Ye patted Yueyue's head, "Watch how Qiuqiu takes care of the cubs and learn a bit. In a while, I'll let you meet the kids."

First-time mothering can lack experience. Qiuqiu is comparably quiet and steady. Experience tales at novelbuddy
