In the Namibian sands in southwestern Africa, a female cheetah looks around every few minutes.

Its body was lying on the grass, but its head was raised high and looked around deeply.

After repeated inspections around for several hours, it was relieved to penetrate into a tall grass.

In the hidden grass, there are a nest of six cheetah cubs that have just been born less than a day.

"Meow..." These cubs screamed sporadically.

Their bodies are very fragile and may take ten days to open their eyes. They will almost hide in this grass within a month.

It is the dry season, and the competition among carnivores is even more cruel. At this time, the female cheetah who feeds six cubs is destined to face the most severe survival test.

Fortunately, all animals will try to gather near the water source, so this grassland far away from the river will be slightly safer.

The female cheetah looked around again vigilantly before lying on her side next to the cub, allowing her children to suck her milk according to their instinct.

However, among the six little cheetahs, one of them did not seem to drink milk like his brothers and sisters, but instead kicked his legs hard on the compacted grass nest, trying to stand up.

The fluffy fluff on the back floated as it moved, and the four calves trembled, but they could not stand up.

This little leopard has just been born and will not crawl in at least two or three days. At this moment, he doesn't want to eat enough and tries to stand up, which is really a waste of energy.

The female cheetah moved her body slightly, changed her lying position, and got closer to it. She hoped that this little milk leopard could smell the milk and do the right thing.

However, the little milk leopard leaned on her mother halfway and leveraged her strength, but instead stood up.

The little breast leopard stepped forward, but the fragile body just jumped forward for a moment and fell down again.

The female cheetah finally gave up guiding the little guy. Its experience made it understand... there were too many six cubs.

This unique little leopard may be a defective product that is destined to be eliminated since birth.

The body structure of the female cheetah is destined to be unable to store a large amount of fat, which means it cannot store food in its body to convert it into milk. During the breastfeeding period, it must hunt and eat every day, otherwise the cubs will be hungry.

It is absolutely impossible for it to waste too much time on the eating problem of this little milk leopard alone.

After feeding the milk, the female cheetah stood up and it had to fill its stomach.

I saw it licking the cubs, waiting for them to sleep and silence.

The five cubs fell asleep obediently after eating, but the only one of the little leopards who couldn't even open their eyes was still wasting their energy to get up.

After careful observation, the female cheetah found that as the little guy made a toss, the air around him and even some grass clippings were disappearing strangely.

It has never seen this phenomenon before, and it is even more impossible to know what it means.

"Meow..." It seemed that it was too tired to toss and finally it screamed and lay on the grass and stopped moving.

This is really a maverick little leopard, and when other cubs call, it doesn't say a word.

Everyone fell asleep at this moment, but it started to scream.

After observing the surroundings vigilantly, the female cheetah repeatedly comforted it for a long time, but saw that the little milk leopard's screams were still not calm, so she had to pick it up and move it into another grass more than thirty meters away from the grass nest.

There is no way to do this, and the screams will attract other predators.

After isolating the little breast leopard, the female cheetah stayed away from the nest and looked for prey.

It was not until dusk that it dragged its tired body back, and it could be seen from its shriveled belly that it could not eat today.

When he returned to the nest, it first licked the cubs in turn to confirm the number.

Five, which reminded it of one it had transferred. The female cheetah did not abandon it, so she found there to check out the little milk leopard.

"Meow..." It finally calmed down, lying in the grass very weak and tired.

The female cheetah picked it up and wanted to take it back to her nest, but she stopped after taking two steps.

Without eating all day, it was unable to feed six pups, and it was seriously insufficient to feed six pups.

Even the other five can't eat enough.

Finally, the female cheetah put it down again, licked the child, and returned to the nest of the five cubs.

The difficult night passed, and the female cheetah had not slept for almost the whole night, always alerting her surroundings.

It only replenishes sleep after the daytime and the view is widened.

But it still wakes up every few minutes and looks around.

It was not until the afternoon when it felt like it was resting almost before choosing to go out to hunt.

It cannot fail again today, it must eat, otherwise none of these six puppies may survive.

Fortunately, it was a female leopard with superb hunting skills. With unremitting efforts, it finally successfully caught a springbok and had a full meal.

The female cheetah returned to the nest happily, but near the nest, it saw the animal that it least wanted to see... a lion.

The female lion was injured in the hind leg and was very old. She seemed to be driven out of the lion group and lived alone.

A lion passed by near the nest where the cub was hiding, which made the female cheetah very anxious.

But it dared not get close to the place where the cubs were hiding, because the female lion obviously did not find the cubs and was staring at it fiercely at this moment.

"roar!"

The lioness roared and warned the cheetah.

The cheetah fled in panic, but kept a distance without completely escaping from this area.

It wanted to lead the lion away, but the lion was not interested in it. After being injured, it knew that it would never be possible to chase the cheetah, so it did not want to chase the other party at all.

The lion didn't think much about the female cheetah's actions and was about to leave.

However, it seemed that it was alarmed by the previous roar, and the cries of five cheetah cubs came from the grass nest.

So that's it... The female lion finally understood that the female cheetah's cub was nearby, and immediately followed the sound and found it into the grass.

The female cheetah was extremely anxious. It was bold enough to approach the lion, but the female lion just turned around and pretended to bite it, and forced the female cheetah back.

Fighting is impossible. Apart from necessary hunting, you should never fight. This is common sense that cheetahs imprint in their bones.

So the female cheetah just kept provoking the lion, but never dared to really get in touch, relying on her speed to jump around the lion.

However, the lion ignored it and found the cubs following the sound.

After a while, the lion left proudly, and the female cheetah returned to the grass nest to check it out until it was no longer visible in her sight.

When they died, the bodies of the three cubs were scattered coldly in the grass, and they were bitten to death by the lion.

Fortunately, two cubs have learned to climb. They have crawled out of the grass nest like a joke before, and the lion did not find them, allowing them to escape.

There is no doubt that these are two strong cheetah cubs. They can climb so far just two days after they were born.

"Meow...meow!" The female cheetah called out to the missing cubs and found them in response.

Not only that, it also took back the little leopard who was isolated the day before.

There are three cubs, this is its only child. The number has dropped sharply by half.

"Meow……"

The maverick little leopard has not drunk milk two days since its birth. Although it is dying, it has not died after all.

It seems that in this weak body, there is a tenacious will, supporting it for its last breath.

The female cheetah leaned over to feed the three cubs. This time, the maverick little guy finally knew how to breastfeed.

He sucked greedily at something that could support it to survive.

Five days later, the little leopard looked no different from the sisters around him.

Eat breasts, play, and practice crawling in a daze.

Every day, female cheetahs will come back to feed them. Although they are not full at all, they still live tenaciously.

Ten days later, all the cubs had opened their eyes.

Two of them looked at the world curiously, playing together while observing the surrounding environment.

Flirting with the earth and stones, crushing the weeds with your body, making the feeling, smell, and overwhelming. The nature of the fiddling corresponds to the things you see in front of you, and use these playful behaviors to be familiar with the grass, wood, soil and stone around you.

But only the little leopard walked alone again.

It opened its eyes hazy, but suddenly lost its playful nature, as if dazed in itself was the greatest pleasure.

Unlike other sisters, it feels that it is very familiar with everything around it and does not need to test it.

The sky, clouds, sun, grass, sand, flies, and two cheetah cubs that are its sisters.

It feels that it knows all of this, and even knows their function.

It lay quietly on the grass, staring at the two little cheetahs playing, and was thinking involuntarily in its mind.

"This is a cheetah cub... am I a cheetah too? Hey? Why did I know?"

"Huh? Me? Why do I know 'me'?"

"What is 'me'? Where do I come from? Where do I go?"

After opening his eyes, his understanding of too many things suddenly filled the brain of this little breast leopard.

It knows the sky, the earth, and the present moment, and there seems to be nothing new about all plants and animals.

Even, it can clearly recognize the concept of ‘I’ and judge and think with subjective intention.

This made it gradually become tired even if it was not playing, and it fell asleep in less than an hour later.
