Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 270 Yes, my heart is as strong as iron
There are mountains over there in the summer pasture, where a group of about a dozen wild yaks live.

It just so happens that the summer pasture is on the edge of the buffer zone, so cattle cannot be grazed on the hillside.

The reason why their pasture is close to the buffer zone is because Uncle Zhaxi pays great attention to protecting the grassland. Also, the local people give his family a little bit of preferential treatment, allowing them to find a way to use domestic yaks to attract wild yaks and thus produce the second generation of wild-blood yaks.

If we move the golden wild yak over there, it will just be integrated into the wild yak population.

It is slightly easier for a calf to join the herd, but the prerequisite is that it can withstand the "bullying" of male yaks in the herd.

"Looking at the calf's body, I don't believe it's not yet an adult. But I definitely believe what you said, Teacher Chen. How about I ask someone to drive over and take it over?"

It is definitely not possible to just guide it over there, but if we want to load it, my God, it will require a heavy truck.

However, heavy trucks cannot enter the grassland, so they have to be guided for a distance.

The normal wild yak can reach a maximum length of 2.6 meters, a tail length of one meter, a shoulder height of about meters, and weighs about kilograms.

But this calf has not yet reached adulthood, and it is estimated that it is almost exceeding the maximum record.

While waiting for transfer, members of the scientific expedition team gathered around, knowing that the danger had been eliminated.

However, they also knew the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to get too close.

About four or five meters apart, they started taking various "synthesized" selfies.

After calming the calf and telling everyone not to disturb it, Chen Ying began to look for the shadow of the lynx.

"Hehe, you still remember to come find me."

Sister Lynx, lying in the bushes, hummed a few times unhappily.

Chen Ying quickly admitted her mistake and told the calf about its situation.

Maybe the grassland is too lonely. Sister Lynx looks like a cool and arrogant lady, but she is actually very gossipy and always fights on the front line of gossip.

"This calf...ah, it really can't be small. This cow is a bit miserable. I was driven away by my mother at the beginning, at least it was clear."

The giant lynx next to him forced its way in.

"I left my mother on my own initiative. She was reluctant to let me go. But if I stayed any longer, she would be exhausted to death."

The giant lynx said that after it left, it was not in a hurry to leave. It stayed in its mother's territory for a while and visited it every now and then.

Without the burden of it and its brothers, the mother regained weight quickly. After making sure that the mother had fully recovered, it left the mother's territory on a moonlit night.

Chen Ying grabbed the lynx sister's claw and examined it carefully. After making sure that it was not injured, she went to grab the big lynx's claw.

The latter wanted to avoid it, but was fixed by Sister Lynx's gaze.

Brother Beast, what I mean is, isn’t there anyone who can live up to expectations?
Chen Ying didn't dare to ask this question, let alone ask it in front of Sister Lynx.

After checking that the two lynxes were fine, he said he would send the bull to find a new group and it might not come back.

"Okay, I know where you are. I'll go find you when I have time."

Chen Ying hesitated and did not explain that she was only staying there for a few days and would have to leave sooner or later.

In fact, the animals are not particularly sad about separation. In their lifetime, animals have to pass by so many things.

After having a meal with the scientific expedition team and receiving a call saying that the transfer truck had arrived at the nearest location, Chen Ying and his team said goodbye to the scientific expedition team and took Niu Niu to the agreed location.

“No matter how many times I watch it, I still think Teacher Chen Ying is amazing.”

"Captain, can't we really study Teacher Chen Ying?"

The two captains turned around and glared at the young man.

"You have a problem with your thinking. You want to study everything. Study the fish you are responsible for first!"

Everyone dispersed in a hurry. There was still so much work waiting to be done and research to be done, so they had to get out first.

Uncle Zhaxi drives very steadily.

Chen Ying opened the car window and looked out from time to time to see if Niu Niu was catching up.

We walked like this for about an hour and then the two sides met up.

Also present were experts from the Provincial Animal Husbandry Bureau who specialized in studying wild yaks.

With the assistance of Chen Ying, after collecting all the data of Niu Niu, they found a way to get it on the back of the truck.

It's not that the cow weighs only six or seven hundred kilograms and can be towed away by a one-ton truck.

First of all, we need to leave the calves an appropriate amount of space to move around. This space should not be too big or too small.

In addition, the weight of the transport cage must also be added.

Ordinary cages cannot withstand the impact of wild yaks, so the sturdy iron cage cannot be too light.

They found a tree-hauling vehicle from the Forestry Bureau, with a load capacity of about two tons and a reinforced bottom plate, so they could try to take the wild yaks away.

It took some effort to guide the yaks onto the vehicle.

Fortunately, there was another vehicle specially loaded with tools that followed.

It took a combination of stones and wooden boards to get the cow onto the carriage.

The transfer cage is fixed to the vehicle in advance.

With Chen Ying around, he could let Niu Niu walk into the cage by himself.

This time, Chen Ying did not dare to separate from Niu Niu, but sat on the board between the transfer cage and the tailgate of the carriage to accompany it.

It feels much faster to go there from the highway.

We arrived at the hillside where the wild yaks were in the evening.

Chen Ying guided it out of the car. The calf ran back and forth on the grass several times as if to vent its anger before it calmed down. "This calf is good, with a good personality, steady, and a good physique. It's a good breed."

Chen Ying and several teachers from the Animal Husbandry Bureau guided Niu Niu closer to the herd of cattle on the hillside.

Before it got too close, the bull guarding the cow discovered this big outsider.

It seemed stunned for a moment, pacing back and forth anxiously, and it took a while to confirm that this big guy was actually an underage male.

Based on male instinct, the wild yak wanted to rush down and drive the cattle away.

But the brave Niu Niu went forward without any fear.

With a wild charge and a brutal collision, the black wild yak howled and rushed towards the herd.

The other wild yak was a little bigger, but it had no intention of coming down to drive it away.

Judging from its appearance, Chen Ying was almost certain that this cow was quite old. Perhaps it knew that it was old and the herd would sooner or later belong to the young cows, so it accepted it very calmly.

After Niu Niu rushed forward, he did not attack the other bulls. Instead, he moved closer to the old bull and sniffed it carefully.

Raise your head and make a "moo" sound.

"It's done. The calf has decided to stay."

The old cow also responded with a slightly longer sound, and then the calls rose and fell among the herd.

Niu Niu successfully joined the wild yak herd with its extraordinary size and youthful strength.

There was a small wild yak nearby, which approached the yak tentatively and rubbed against it.

Chen Ying frowned. Is this considered premature love?
The animals can handle their own issues. Next, Chen Ying plans to go back to the Budong River Conservation Station and concentrate on raising cats.

Before leaving, the teachers from the Animal Husbandry Bureau exchanged phone numbers with Chen Ying, saying that they might need his help in the future.

These teachers were very simple and honest, and Chen Ying did not refuse.

I rushed back to the Budong River Management Station overnight, and sure enough, my young sister-in-law was sleeping on the floor in the utility room with a quilt in her arms.

The kittens are in good spirits, and even the smallest one looks more energetic than yesterday.

"Other kittens can eat 10 to 20 milliliters at a time, but this one ate a maximum of 5 milliliters at a time."

The young sister-in-law frowned and sighed, looking at the weak kitten with eyes full of pity.

Chen Ying checked the kittens and found that they were in better condition than he expected. It should be that the water drop pills took effect.

But the youngest kitten had difficulty eating and received less medicine, so naturally he was not as good as his brothers.

"Sister-in-law, go back and rest. I'll be here to watch over you."

It would be dawn in two or three hours, and when it got dawn they would set off back to the Heyuan Management Station.

The medical equipment and medicines there are much more complete.

The young sister-in-law didn't bother to be polite with him. She picked up her bedding roll and went out.

Chen Ying was too lazy to drag out her sleeping bag, so she found a wool mat to sit on and dozed off against the wall.

The little ones eat a lot and poop a lot, so you have to keep cleaning up for them, otherwise you might get a cold from the urine on your body.

Kittens wrapped in towels need to be paid more attention to at all times. After feeding, cotton swabs or small paper balls should be used to help them defecate.

He added some fuel to the stove, made some butter tea with hot water, and Chen Ying took a sip to drive away the cold.

The kitten that he had placed on his chest to keep it warm seemed to smell the fragrance and actually struggled and let out a barely audible cry.

The other kittens had their eyes open, but this one had its eyes still tightly closed.

But if you look closely, you can see a gap.

Chen Ying was not afraid of wasting water, so she made a special water-drop pill for the kitten, drew a little with a syringe, and slowly fed it into its mouth.

A mung bean-sized water drop pill can dissolve in about 10 ml of water.

I didn't feed it completely because I was afraid the amount was too much for it to handle.

Almost half was left, which was mixed into the milk powder and water for the other kittens.

I woke up from time to time and felt more tired than not sleeping at all.

In the morning, after breakfast, when Chen Ying was about to leave with the kittens, she saw Uncle Zhaxi stuffing two large bags into the back of the car.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"It's just a token of my appreciation. There are many things here that you are not used to, so I won't give them to you. These are homemade dried meat and milk tofu cubes. You can soak them in hot water when you go back and drink authentic milk tofu tea."

Chen Ying did not refuse the uncle's kindness. He planned to send some local specialties to his uncle's home after he returned.

Maybe he would have to trouble the uncle to accompany him to find Erniu in the future. Being too polite would easily make the honest uncle angry.

We drove very fast all the way and it was almost evening when we arrived at the maintenance station.

The kittens were also kept in cages for the entire day. They looked listless when they were brought to the isolation room and didn’t eat much when they were fed.

However, the smallest and weakest kitten gave Chen Ying a surprise. In the afternoon, it was able to drink seven milliliters of milk in one breath.

Although it was only half of the others, compared to the few drops at a time before, there was hope for survival.

When Mr. Huang and Miss Huang saw Chen Ying coming back, they hurried over and wanted to hug her, but Chen Ying rejected them mercilessly.

Miss Huang looked incredulous: Meow, you can actually refuse the care of a cute little cat, are you a qualified cat owner? Meow!
