Leopard's Feud

Chapter 5 The Hate of a New Generation
Perhaps, baboons are destined to be the old enemies of leopards.

Although baboons are primates, baboons are the most carnivorous branch of primates, and the South African baboons are more carnivorous than other baboon species.Because baboons and leopards have similarities in living environment, food and many other aspects, the Jared baboon family, which is in the same territory as the Karosa leopard family, has become their strongest competitor.

In recent years, the Karosa leopard family living in this territory has gone from bad to worse, while the Jared baboon family living in this territory has become more and more prosperous, developing into a huge group with nearly a hundred baboons.These malicious baboons kept harassing the Karosa leopard family, intending to kill them all.

Three years ago, on the first day Camille Leopard gave birth to her first child, the first-time mother did not have any precautions.It naively put the three newly born leopards under the tree, and dragged their tired bodies out to look for food.Taking advantage of the short interval when it was not around the little leopard, several nasty baboons killed its cubs, leaving dirty footprints on the ground.Before the three poor little leopards could open their eyes, they became snacks for the baboon.

Camille is full of resentment, but unable to contend with the huge Jared baboon family.Camille's ancestors once ruled the jungle, but that is a thing of the past.Now, as a member of a disadvantaged group, Camille can only endure.

Camille gave birth for the second time two years ago, giving birth to two leopard cubs.This time, it hardly dared to leave the crypt where it hid in the bushes.It wasn't until half a month later that it took its children out of the crypt for the first time.But as soon as Camille stepped out of the burrow, he was immediately followed by the baboons. The leader Jared led nearly fifty young and middle-aged baboons from the entire baboon group, besieging them for a whole day and night.When Camille was exhausted, Hall, the male baboon, snatched away his son and daughter, and hanged them on the baobab tree where the Leopard family had lived for generations.The grief-stricken Camille let out a long growl, and left the ancient baobab tree far away.

Since then, Camille has vowed to wipe out the entire Jared baboon colony.

However, Jared is in his prime, escorted by the loyal male baboon Hall, and the lonely Camille is not his opponent.Camille can only hide in the dark, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack the weak baboons and cannibalize the Jared baboon family.Since then, Camille and the Jared baboon family have launched a long battle.

For two years, Camille has appeared and disappeared like a ghost on the baboon family's territory.From time to time Camille would kill babies, old baboons, females, if he got the chance.Camille is like a lingering shadow over Jared's baboon family.

Jared's two wives, Anita and Rita, gave birth again, Anita gave birth to Jared's youngest son, Jack, and Rita gave birth to Jared's youngest daughter, Yetta.Now, Camille has even hunted down Anita, the wife of the baboon leader Jared, and Jared's newborn son, Jack, has disappeared without a trace.Camille is happy to see her nemesis, Jared, devastated and distraught.

Originally, Camille should have mercilessly killed Jared's youngest son, Jack, but Camille was vicious and wise.Camille wants to raise the baby baboon—it wants the baby baboon to grow up drinking baboon blood and eating baboon meat.It wants the little baboon Jack to become a master hunter who can completely wipe out the baboon family.

Camille wants Jared's youngest son, Jack, to avenge him, and let Jared's baboon family pay all blood debts that should be paid.
