Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 322: Is it true that eating too much meat will not help your brain grow?

"Is that small room over there in the winter warehouse empty and not being used?"

"Yes, it used to be the cashier's room. Later, the village committee moved to another place, and that room has been used to store sundries. But the room is very small, only seven or eight square meters, and it can't hold big things, so it's basically not used."

The joint defense captain quickly glanced at the village chief while driving, "Uncle, are you going to use it?"

"I see that city people like to build cat houses. We seem to have a few litters of desert cats and stray cats here. You can ask a few young people someday to see how to decorate it and make a winter nest for those little guys."

"Okay, I'll let those young guys get it later."

The herders are very nice to dogs, but just average to cats.

It is mainly the dogs in herders' homes that can help with herding, and there is little that cats can do.

Especially when moving to another place, who would bring a cat with them? Besides, cats can’t catch mice on the grassland.

But if you don't take it away, the cat will become a stray cat in one summer.

So in pastoral areas, there are people who keep cats, but definitely not many.

The episode in the herdsmen's village came to a temporary end, and Chen Ying also took the time to go to the hospital to see the two children.

In fact, they were already eligible to be discharged from the hospital and go home, but because of the deaf child's condition and the doctor was afraid that something might happen to him, they refused to discharge him.

Now his household registration has been moved to his aunt's house, his irresponsible parents have left, and the hospital has informed them that they can be discharged at any time.

Chen Ying went to see him the day before he was discharged from the hospital.

The boy is not completely hearing-deprived. He is deaf in his left ear and has hearing impairment in his right ear. He now wears a hearing aid.

"Thank you, Dr. Chen." The boy lowered his head, his fingers tightly gripping the edge of the bed, his knuckles turning white.

"By the way, I came to see you today because I have something I want to ask you two."

Chen Ying glanced past his hand and looked at the young man sitting on the other bed.

"I have been invited to participate in a project, and I will have a break until about two days before the New Year. During this time, I would like to ask you two to help feed the two cubs every day. Are you willing?"

The full-time keeper of the snow leopard cubs and lynx cubs is going on vacation and will be temporarily taken over by someone else.

Originally, we wanted to send the little brown bear to Qingye for observation and treatment, but there is currently a shortage of staff there. After discussing with the rescue center, we hope to keep it here temporarily and send it back after the New Year when the employees on vacation return.

"The main reason is that they haven't made much progress in their research on the leopards, and there's no way to delay this matter. We have to get the results as soon as possible and develop a treatment plan. So I have to go and help, and we're short of manpower here."

Chen Ying asked them to do temporary work because she actually wanted to help the deaf children get out of the shadow of being abandoned by their family.

If you have something to do and are busy, you won’t think about other things.

Moreover, when they help take care of the cubs, they don't need to have much contact with the cubs. They just need to follow the full-time breeder and follow the instructions to clean for the cubs, put fresh food there, and observe their daily activities.

If it was really unsafe, he wouldn't dare let the two children go.

Chen Ying did not lie. Qingye is having a headache right now.

Several leopards were sent over, and they also formed a joint medical team, with several neurological expert professors serving as consultants.

But after being locked up separately, although these leopards were still a little anxious, they did not lose their minds to the point of self-harm.

But as soon as they saw their companions, they immediately started to go crazy, scaring the staff responsible for taking care of them so much that they quickly lowered the iron gate to completely isolate the leopards.

"We did blood tests, all were normal, and we didn't find any problems when observing their behavior alone. They just can't see each other. If they do, they fight. It's like they took drugs."

At first they thought that it might be due to something they ate that caused neurological problems, such as some plant fruits that could cause hallucinations.

But now it seems that there will be no problem as long as I don’t see my companions.

Even if they deliberately put in a few live chickens, they would not even actively hunt if they were full.

"You know, they give me the same feeling as if they were robbed and turned red-eyed."

In fact, wild animals do not have as many ethics and morals as humans.

During the same breeding season, females may come into contact with and even mate with different males.

For leopards, after choosing a male partner, they will live together for a period of time, during which time the two leopards will be inseparable.

They go their separate ways after the estrus period is over.

If the female leopard does not become pregnant after one or two months, she will enter the estrus period again.

Of course, this also depends on the regional climate and whether food is abundant.

The ecological environment in Sanjiang has recovered well, and there are sufficient food sources for medium and large carnivores such as snow leopards and leopards, so it doesn't seem like they are fighting for food.

A group of experts couldn't figure out the reason and could only look for external help everywhere.

Qingye’s veterinarian was quite familiar with Chen Ying, and since it was Chen Ying who helped catch these leopards, he complained to him in the small group about some inexplicable research.

In the end, it was their leader who spoke up and asked him to try to contact Chen Ying to see if he could go over and help.

If nothing else, just because of the group of big cats under his command, the leader thought he should be able to take care of these ones. Chen Ying agreed to go because he was very curious about the reason why these leopards went crazy, and he always felt that it was not normal.

After being discharged from the hospital, the two teenagers stayed at home for a day and came to the center with simple luggage the next day.

The external propaganda was that the two of them entered the uninhabited area without permission, causing trouble to their relatives, neighbors, and rescue teams, and wasted a lot of money and energy.

However, because they were minors and there were reasons for their actions, no other punishment could be carried out. Instead, they were punished to serve as volunteers at the center, responsible for taking care of the rescued wild animals.

There is no money, the center only provides food and accommodation.

Three days later, Chen Ying took Xiao Song to the rescue center in Qingye.

All the leopards that were captured last time are kept here.

As soon as he entered, Chen Ying noticed that the leopard's condition was indeed a little different from that of a normal leopard.

He has been with Sister Leopard and Brother Leopard for so long that he probably knows better than anyone what the normal state of a wild leopard is like.

Although these leopards did not look crazy, the vigilance and brutality in their eyes still existed.

Without rushing to show off his talent, Chen Ying took Xiao Song and followed Qingye's veterinarian to see the leopards and got a general understanding of the conditions of the leopards.

Except for the two big leopards at the head and tail that were a bit abnormal, the others were actually almost the same as normal leopards.

Chen Ying looked through the examination results of all the leopards, but could not find any physical cause, so she could only talk to them one by one.

There are some skills to chatting with leopards. You can't just look for troublemakers right away. You must first get enough information from the leopards who are best at getting news, so that you can unravel the clues.

This question really brought up something.

The leopard living in cage number three was the most seriously injured and had the calmest temperament.

After accepting the food from Chen Ying, it found that this biped could actually communicate, and it immediately couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Those two are crazy. Even after the female leopard left, they continued to fight, as if they had to decide the winner."

"For mating?"

"What else?" The leopard, who was holding the rooster with one paw and plucking its fur with the other, seemed to be venting his anger on the innocent rooster. "The female leopard suddenly went into heat, and we thought it was very rare, so we followed to take a look."

But the female leopard didn't care about them at all and went all the way to the territory of the most powerful leopard.

When they realized they had crossed the border and were about to go back, they were blocked and beaten by a male leopard that chased them from behind.

The two male leopards who were beaten also gave in. Since they could not get the right to mate, they planned to go back to their respective homes.

But who knew that just as they were about to leave, they encountered another leopard that smelled the scent of the female leopard and came over.

When the leopard saw the two failed leopards, it pounced on them and started fighting without even asking a question.

He was yelling and uttering harsh words while doing it.

The two leopards, already annoyed by their failure, teamed up to beat it up without any mercy.

The fight between the three leopards soon attracted the leopard that had previously defeated the other two.

I don’t know if it was due to abnormal climate, but the male leopard had an excess of hormones, and it actually joined the battle with just a roar.

These four leopards were making a fuss in the territory of a local tyrant. The territory owner, who came over after smelling the smell, was so angry that he almost went crazy. He just did it without saying a word.

"So the five of you leopards started fighting like this? Where's the female leopard?"

Leopard number three was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It left. I didn't see it the day after the fight anyway."

To be honest, Chen Ying was a little confused about the thinking of these leopards.

Aren't they fighting for the right to mate? In the end, no leopard knew where the female leopard had gone... You guys have been fighting for so long, are you just eating meat and not having brains?
Unable to listen to just one leopard, Chen Ying planned to go to another leopard to inquire for information.

This time he went straight to the leopard that was seriously injured and had been kept alone for follow-up treatment.

The leopard is located in the next building.

This is a fully indoor animal house with a medical area next to it, which is mainly used to care for sick and injured animals and animals after surgery.

When Chen Ying arrived there, the leopard was lying on the platform, looking listless.

"Fighting?" The leopard licked the tip of its claws and glanced at Chen Ying. "Are those two guys laughing at me?"

"How could that be? They don't even know you're here."

This is the truth. Since the leopard fell off the cliff and was injured, it has not seen its two "comrades". I guess the two leopards thought it was dead long ago.

Chen Ying asked it why it wanted to fight, and the leopard gave him an answer that he didn't expect.

"We need to determine who is the boss in this area!"

What the hell are you leopards thinking?
