African lions are social animals. Male lions are responsible for guarding the territory and protecting their offspring at home, while lionesses are responsible for hunting.

This is the opposite of humans.

However, this is also natural selection, because male lions are large, equivalent to tanks in games, with thick skin suitable for guarding the city.

The lionesses are like ADCs, small and flexible, more suitable for capturing fast-running prey on the grasslands.

It's just that this family is a bit tragic. There seems to be only one lioness, and she is so badly injured that she can't hunt. The male lion is also at a disadvantage when defending the territory because he is not full.

Judging from this situation, this territory should be changing hands soon.

Olsen was a little sad at this time. Her mood had been generally bad since she witnessed the wildebeest mother being eaten by a crocodile.

Tang Tian took a few photos for her.

This lioness has been seen by them three times, so it can be considered fate.

However, while taking the photos, Tang Tian noticed a very small head behind the starving male lion.

It was a baby lion that had just been born.

This seems to explain why the lioness would attack the buffalo herd without hesitation.

If she didn't do that, the little lion would starve to death sooner or later.

The wildebeest would rather sacrifice itself to the crocodile for the sake of the little wildebeest, and the lioness rushed towards the herd of buffalo for the sake of the little lion.

This is probably the simplest and most real maternal love on the African savanna.

The little lion was howling, looking very hungry.

The lioness struggled to walk to its side, and then lay down.

The little lion frantically sucked at the nipple, but nothing could be sucked out of the dry body. After sucking for a while, it lay there motionless.

I don't know if it passed out from hunger.

Tang Tian put down his binoculars and called Olsen back.

If Olsen saw this again, she would probably be sad again.

After packing up, they prepared to leave this grassland.

"Shit!"

However, at this moment, the guide suddenly cursed, and then quickly took out a gun from the trunk.

The bodyguards also became nervous.

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

This time, the guide directly loaded the gun.

They had run out of food, and this time there were two lions. Even if the procedure was a bit troublesome, they didn't want to fight the lions in close combat.

"Aowu... Aowu..."

The male lion let out a series of low roars, the sound began to rise, but then became weaker and weaker.

The bodyguards nervously raised their guns.

"Wait!"

The guide signaled them not to shoot.

He must have understood something.

"Put them down."

The guide signaled the others to put down their guns.

After a while, when the lioness saw that Tang Tian and the others didn't shoot it, it lowered its head, carrying the little lion to a place a few meters away from them.

It put down the little lion, licked it one last time, and then turned and walked back to the male lion's side.

"They want you to take in their child."

The guide said at this time. He had been here for a long time, and he could make basic judgments about the animals' behavior, including the previous calls.

They want them to take it in?

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

These two lions were dying. He could see it, and the lions must know it even better.

It was only a matter of time before this little lion, which had passed out, became food for other lions or hyenas.

Just like the wildebeest in front would sacrifice itself for the little wildebeest, the lions obviously didn't want to watch their child die in front of them.

So they took one last risk.

The reason they chose Tang Tian and the others may just be because they had given them a piece of meat before.

But that was enough. Judging from their appearance, they must not have eaten for a long time, and a piece of meat could keep them alive for a few more days.

"Let's raise it."

Olsen said at this time, her eyes full of hope.

Tang Tian nodded. He heard that Green's family had a large python, so it would be nice for him to raise a lion.

The guide took a blanket from the trunk and carefully walked to the little lion's side.

He reached out and checked its breathing, then 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 little lion being taken away, they turned around and returned to their territory.

"My tribe has milk. It must have passed out from hunger. It will get better after drinking some milk."

After getting in the car, the guide said.

"What's your name again?"

Tang Tian asked an extra question.

"Embiid, my friend."

The guide replied with a smile.

Tang Tian was stunned.

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

"I'll remember it. I'll come to Bachi to find you next time."

He said with a smile.

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

After Embiid finished speaking, he drove them back.

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

After the temperature dropped, those 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.

Therefore, tourists are not allowed to spend the night in the nature reserve at night.

Embiid's tribe was nearby. After going out, he went to help get some milk and pried open the little lion's mouth to feed it.

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

It seemed a little scared, but it was too small and couldn't stand still.

The lion being small was also the reason why Tang Tian was willing to raise it.

No matter what kind of animal it is, as long as it is raised from a young age, it will not be so wild and will treat the person who raises it as its family.

The bodyguard had already completed the relevant procedures for them, and they could take the little lion out of the country.

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

They spent their last night in Bachi, and were accompanied by the sounds of various animals fighting all night long on the grassland.

Early the next morning, they set off to fly back to New Orleans.

This trip to Africa was a very good experience.

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

The only regret was probably not seeing the legendary African venomous snake, the black mamba.

Walker and the others were still training in New York, but Tang Tian was no longer going there. The Pelicans' training camp was about to begin.

The training camp start times for each team are different. Teams like the Spurs, who just won the championship, will start a little later.

But teams like the Pelicans, who went back to fishing early without even making the playoffs, will definitely start training camp earlier.

After bringing the little lion back, Olsen became an animal expert, taking care of it in every possible way.

However, in this way, Tang Tian could also focus his attention on the court.

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

Tang Tian came to the arena early in the morning.

The New Orleans Arena was a new arena built in 1999. In 2002, the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans, and this became the team's home court.

An interesting thing is that the New Orleans Arena is right next to the New Orleans Superdome behind it.

The newly built arena was quite large, but in stark contrast, it was only one-third the size of the Superdome behind it.

This is a peculiar sight.

ps: I had writer's block before, and this is a random passage I wrote... I will start writing the Pelicans' storyline tomorrow...
