After finishing half of the fish with difficulty, Su Mao gave up decisively when he saw the remaining half of the fish frozen under the river.
If he had the time, he would go to the forest and try his luck.
Finally, there was food in his stomach, and Su Mao felt better.
Walking to the riverbank, he found a blank patch of snow without any footprints. He lowered his head and opened his huge bear mouth, swallowing a large amount of snow.
Before the warm mouth could melt the snow, Su Mao swallowed the snow.
During winter in the mountains, the rivers would freeze, and animals would rely on the snow to replenish their water.
Fortunately, they were in the forest, far away from human pollution.
If it was in the city, the snowflakes would not be as clean as they looked. The snow in some heavy industrial cities was even gray. If one ate such snow, the consequences could be imagined.
Su Mao ate a few mouthfuls and felt that the thirst for water in his body was no longer as serious.
Then, he walked into the forest.
……
Su Mao's luck wasn't as good as he had expected.
He walked in the forest for a long time, and even when the sun above his head tilted to the horizon, he still could not catch any prey.
It had to be said that the brown bear was limited by its huge size. It was very difficult to hunt its prey in the forest.
Not to mention anything else, just the dozens of centimeters of snow was a serious obstacle to Su Mao.
Several times, he found prey.
However, it was either the creaking sound of walking on the snow alerted the prey, or it was exposed as soon as it appeared.
He had finally managed to sneak up to his prey and started his pursuit. However, the accumulated snow prevented him from unleashing his full strength. On the contrary, it was those hoofed animals with thin legs that jumped away from the snow with a few jumps.
This made Su Mao very depressed. As expected, nature was fair. A powerful body came at the expense of agility.
They continued to advance through the forest.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Su Mao finally found a group of silly roe deers in a forest when the sun was almost setting.
Because roe deers were small in size and could not adapt well to deep snow, it was common for roe deers to be trapped in deep snow.
In his previous life, there were many people from the Northeast Province who spoke on the Internet. Sometimes, they would pick up trapped roe deers in the forest.
Su Mao had always dreamed of such a good thing.
The group of roe deers in front of him was rummaging through the forest for grass roots under the snow. In the harsh winter, both carnivores and herbivores had a hard time.
Su Mao saw that this group of roe deers often had to dig through the snow for a long time to find some grass roots.
When the roe deers were looking for grass roots, they would raise their heads from time to time to observe their surroundings.
In winter, herbivores needed to constantly search for food in the mountains and forests, and so did carnivores.
Su Mao couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he looked at this group of roe deers.
His target was a young roe deer in the distance. Every year, roe deers would give birth at the turn of spring and summer. Now, after more than half a year, this cub was already 30 to 40 pounds.
To Su Mao, this could be considered a feast.
Therefore, Su Mao was very careful, afraid that he would scare away the roe deers like before.
Learning from the previous lesson, Su Mao was very patient this time. He hid in a corner and observed, looking for the best time to attack.
In the distance, the roe deers seemed to have finished eating all the grass in this area. They raised their heads and looked around, as if they were looking for the next foraging area.
Su Mao was lying in a corner, estimating the distance.
The snow here was not deep, so it was very suitable for him to attack.
Su Mao observed his surroundings and calculated the possible escape route of the roe deers after the attack.
" When we attack later, the silly roe deers will definitely run this way. I have to try my best to force them there. The snow there is very deep..."
Su Mao planned his attack in his mind.
At this moment, his wandering eyes suddenly noticed a pair of eyes in the distance that were also eyeing him covetously.
Opposite Su Mao, a Amur Leopard was also aiming at the roe deers.
Amur leopards were also commonly known as golden leopards. As the largest feline in the forest, other than the Amur tiger, the Amur leopard was also a top hunter.
His body was even more slender than the Manchurian Tiger, and his speed was also faster.
However, due to the size restriction, the Amur leopard, which weighed less than 100 pounds, could not capture large prey such as wild boars, red deer, and so on.
Their targets were basically roe deers, Siberian goats, and deer. Among them, the sika deer was the largest herbivore they could hunt.
At this moment, the Amur Panther was lying on its stomach, its densely dotted fur forming a natural cover.
This made Su Mao very envious. He did not expect that the Amur Panther, relying on its fur, was 20 to 30 meters away from the roe deer, but the latter still did not have any reaction.
The Amur Leopard used the signature movement unique to feline animals. Its entire body was lying in the snow, using the strength of its four limbs to squirm.
Only his eyes were exposed, and he could observe the movements of his prey at all times.
Su Mao couldn't help but be angry when he saw this scene. He had finally found the prey, and there was actually someone snatching it?
However, even though he was angry, he still hid in a corner as firm as a rock.
He was prepared to fish in troubled waters when the Far Eastern Leopard attacked. When the time came, he would attack from both sides, and his chances of capturing his prey would be greater.
