Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 303: Thousands of Miles Away
In a new car, the upper and lower transfer cages are fixed in the car body.

A special fresh air system and equipment required for long-distance transportation were also installed.

Chen Ying removed the iron mesh and partition between the upper and lower cages. Apart from the lack of stairs, it looked no different from a medium-sized cat villa.

After he bought this car, he had it customized and modified. The space in the trunk is enough for Jin Ya and Xiao Jin to take the little lynx to move around and rest.

Lao Gao helped find a professional driver to go to Heyuan with him, and after arriving there safely, they took a plane back.

Before setting off, Chen Ying checked again and found that all the documents were complete, including proof of legal origin, special hunting permit, and quarantine certificate.

The three cats were transported as rescue objects and experimental subjects.

Their nameplates and file cards are also hung on the transfer cages.

There is a window between the rear compartment where the transfer cage is located and the front seats, which makes it convenient for people sitting in the front row to observe the condition of the transferred animals.

After the two drove on the road, they passed several checkpoints and drove smoothly all the way to the Heyuan Rescue Center.

After a good night's rest, the driver who took turns driving with him took his pay and plane ticket, took a tour of the city, and was taken to the airport by Yin Li's colleague.

Yin Li looked around the car and patted the car.

"Sure, Brother Ying, we've upgraded our weapons. Come, let me drive, and we'll go straight to the maintenance station."

However, before they could leave, they were stopped by the deputy director of the rescue center.

Duanmu also followed with a helpless look on his face.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"No problem, right? Can you leave these two big cats for us to see?"

Chen Ying pressed the car door and pulled the deputy director aside with a smile.

"These two big cats are not experimental cats for research. They are the research subjects of our research team. The main purpose is to test whether they can be released into the wild in a different place at the same altitude."

The deputy director smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Duanmu.

"Director Duanmu is also very interested."

"It's okay. He has studied these two cats thoroughly before. If you still don't understand, you are welcome to go back to Jiamugou to continue studying."

After these words were spoken, the deputy director didn't know what to do next.

It was Duanmu who came over and helped the deputy director.

"Director, you are making it difficult for them. Every step of the animal transportation process must be assigned to a person. If there is any discrepancy with the application, the leader must be held accountable."

The deputy director held his breath, stood there for a long time, then sighed and left a little sadly.

"Brother Ying, don't be angry. The old director has no bad intentions. He just wants to study the differences between lynxes in plateaus and high-altitude mountain forests."

Chen Ying was not angry, but she was not willing to stay. She chatted briefly with Duanmu and planned to leave.

"By the way, Brother Ying, I'll be on vacation in two days, and I'll go there then. Don't rush into the no-man's land. I got you some stuff, but it hasn't arrived yet. It will probably be delivered in three to five days."

No matter what he was asked, Duanmu refused to say anything and just said he definitely needed it.

"This kid has learned to keep people in suspense."

"There's nothing we can do. He works at the center now, where he interacts with a lot of people. How can he survive like he did in Jiamugou?"

Yin Li drove to the management station smoothly and fluently. He also bought a lot of daily necessities on the way and filled the back seat so full that Jin Ya couldn't even see Chen Ying's face and was so angry that she was rubbing the cage in the back.

Fortunately, the journey was not far, and when we arrived at the medical area of ​​the nursing station, Xiao Song had already brought people to prepare for the reception.

The three cats were sent directly to the isolation area for disinfection along with their transfer cages, and then had to stay in the isolated animal house for a few days.

The little lynx stayed in the car for too long. Although we let it get off the car a few times to move around, it was still in a bad state due to the unfamiliarity with the air.

Although they are both high-altitude areas, the little lynx actually lives at a relatively low altitude, and there are more trees on the Jiamugou side, so the oxygen content is higher than on the Heyuan side.

The Heyuan Management Station is not an uninhabited area and its altitude is less than 3,000 meters.

But this is a desert area and the oxygen content cannot be compared with that of Jiamugou.

Adult lynxes and golden cats did not show obvious symptoms of high altitude, but young lynxes showed symptoms typical of heart disease.

Before meeting them, Xiao Song had already familiarized himself with all the information about the little lynx. He wouldn't say that he knew it by heart, but he had simulated the little lynx's problems and how to deal with them dozens of times in his mind.

Chen Ying did not interfere with her arrangements. After making sure that the little lynx was fine, she fed Jin Ya and Xiao Jin food and water, and arranged for a special keeper to take care of them. Then she went to the residence of the lynx's younger brother.

After two or three months, the little lynx brother had grown a lot and looked much stronger than before.

No wonder Xiao Song and his friends wanted to try to perform surgery on Lynx brother.

If the operation is successful, the lynx brother will be able to return to the wild.

Even if it can't do that, in its current state it doesn't have to worry about being harmed by other animals of its kind after entering the zoo.

“When will the experts come?”

"Two days left. Originally they were supposed to arrive tomorrow, but today a patient had to undergo emergency surgery, so the specialist had to perform the surgery before he could fly over."

After opening Lynx brother's medical record and looking through it for a while, Chen Ying felt that it didn't matter whether the operation was done or not.

But his status is not yet the highest in the industry. Heyuan has invited experts over, so he didn't say much and just planned to discuss the situation with the experts when the time comes.

When I came out of the lynx brother's animal house, I looked up and saw a desert cat squatting on the small hill outside the management station. Judging from its size, it was obviously an adult cat.

(I stare at (个_个), feeling wronged)
The assistant who brought Chen Ying over followed his gaze and laughed. "We rescued a few desert cats before, but later we sent the big ones away, and a herder sent us a litter of small ones."

Seeing that Chen Ying was very interested, he simply led him around to the back to see the elves in the station.

"Two days after the arrival of this litter, our surveillance camera discovered a pregnant female cat on the hillside behind. A week later, when the female cat was foraging, we used a drone to peek and saw that there were probably several kittens in the cave."

Now the mother cat has become familiar with the people in the station, and even dares to bring her kittens to beg for food.

Even the litter of abandoned kittens were taken under the protection of the mother cat.

"I don't know if the cat I saw just now was the female cat's companion or a male cat attracted by the female cat. Anyway, it just squatted there and looked at this side, but didn't dare to get close."

The mother cat with her cubs was quite aggressive. The male cat approached tentatively once, but was chased around the management station three times by the mother cat before giving up.

"With them here, the rat problem has been alleviated a lot. The stationmaster said that when they grow up a little and can hunt on their own, they will be sent to the pastoral area and released back into the wild."

After eating so much cat food from the management station, I have to help out with something.

Desert cats are cats that are relatively close to human living areas. In addition, the publicity in Heyuan is also good, and the herders' awareness of protection is much stronger than before, so there is no need to worry about the little guys being harmed by humans.

After watching for a while, Chen Ying returned to the isolation animal house area.

Jin Ya and Xiao Jin are in good condition. The fatigue from the long journey and the difference in environment allow them to sleep soundly together.

"Brother Ying, the room has been arranged for you. Go and have a rest first. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. We'll be busy the day after tomorrow when the experts arrive."

The little lynx has been admitted to a special ward, where people and equipment are monitoring it 24 hours a day, so there is no need to worry about its safety.

Xiao Song did a good job, and Chen Ying nodded with relief.

Although a hired driver was driving most of the time, he had to take care of three cats along the way, which consumed a lot of his energy.

A night without dreams until dawn.

Knowing that he was tired, Xiao Song and Yin Li didn't come to call him.

When he woke up at ten o'clock and found the ward, he saw a group of people squatting on the ground, looking at something.

Chen Ying leaned over and took a look.

Wow, six little Tibetan foxes!
"What's going on? Where are their relatives?"

The assistant looked up and quickly stood up to explain.

"Teacher Chen, we brought these cubs back from the pastoral area last night. Their mother seemed to be sick and collapsed in the herdsman's woodshed. Teacher Song is treating them now, so let's keep an eye on the cubs."

The assistant had a bitter face, "The cubs seem very scared. They won't drink milk even when I feed them, and they haven't even started barking."

Chen Ying pursed her lips. Looking at the posture of this group of people, not to mention the young ones, even the old ones would not be able to withstand it.

"Alright, I'll feed them, you guys go do what you need to do, there are so many people around, they'll be scared to death."

A few young people stuck out their tongues and dispersed.

The assistant holding the bottle blushed. He was so anxious that he wanted to find someone to help him. He didn't even think that they were the ones who scared the cub.

Chen Ying picked up a few little ones. They looked pretty good and were probably in the weaning period.

In the wild, Tibetan foxes will give birth to 2 to 5 children, but only three or four will survive.

There are six cubs in this litter, and no one knows how the Tibetan fox parents raised them.

By the way, Tibetan foxes are monogamous. After choosing a partner, they will live together and raise children together.

The Tibetan fox mother fell ill, but what about the father?
I asked the assistant, who looked back at me with a confused look on his face.

"I don't know. The herder called and said only that there was a female fox with a few cubs. The colleague who went to pick it up didn't see any other foxes."

Chen Ying didn't say anything else. She had someone build a small area in the backyard with a wooden fence and put a dog house inside. Then she sat down and fed the dogs one by one.

Perhaps it was because he felt the gentle and peaceful aura from Chen Ying.

The little fox cubs, who no longer had the strength to cry out, ate their food in big mouthfuls. After their bellies were full, Chen Ying put them in the doghouse to rest.

"Build a fiberglass board here to block the sun, rain and snow. I'll ask your stationmaster to help build a wooden platform so that the kids can eat by themselves."

The little fox cub, who looks to be at least four months old, should have learned to eat by himself a long time ago.

After eight months, they reach maturity and can live independently before they are one year old.

After Yin Li finished his official business, he brought his staff over to help.

A movable camera was installed above the kennel to monitor the activities and eating habits of the cubs, and a careful older sister was reassigned to take care of the cubs.

The Heyuan Management Station is not small, and the enclosed area is more than 20 square meters.

Separated by a row of iron railings, there is a vast grassland outside.

The little Tibetan foxes, who had eaten, drunk and slept enough, began to run, chase and play in the sunset.

Chen Ying carried the weak Tibetan fox mother out to see her child, and what she saw was this reassuring scene.

The Tibetan fox mother, who had been struggling a little, lay quietly in Chen Ying's arms, her eyes instantly becoming gentle.
