Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 340 Let’s go and play with the Northeast Golden Gradient

The operation was performed at a rescue center.

The equipment was sponsored by the Agricultural University.

Senior Brother Gu was the lead surgeon, Chen Ying was the assistant, and Ding Wen also came over to join in the fun.

An operation that is easy for humans took Mr. Tiger three times longer.

Fortunately, the anesthesiologist's skills were as stable as ever, and the other assistants also cooperated well with Senior Brother Gu. Three hours later, Uncle Hu was sent to the intensive care unit.

Nurse Ruan Mengmeng and two assistants provide 24-hour supervision.

The operation was simultaneously observed by the medical team of the South China Tiger Breeding Center, who also provided opinions and support on the design of the entire operation.

It can be said that as long as there are no postoperative complications in the later stage, Uncle Hu’s eyesight will be restored a lot, at least he will not be a blind man.

The breeding center said that they only needed to do the surgery on one eye.

The vision of one eye is enough for the tiger. After all, it does not need to be self-reliant in the wild.

Chen Ying thought that they could observe first. He personally felt that if conditions were ripe, it would be good to have both eyes operated on.

After all, although Uncle Hu's body looks like he has many old age diseases, his physical fitness is really good. If he takes good care of himself, it is not impossible for him to live another seven or eight years.

It's normal for the theoretical age to be different from the actual age.

Humans have centenarians, so can’t animals have centenarians too?
He is only 22 years old, but has just entered old age and is still very strong.

Ten minutes later, Uncle Hu was fully awake and recognized the nurse who was taking care of him.

It gurgled a few times in its throat, looking a little irritated.

Sister Ruan Mengmeng gave it a massage, and the tiger started snoring and gurgling.

The two assistants were extremely impressed when they saw this scene.

Although they were responsible for taking care of animals after surgery at the center for a long time, they were still a little scared as it was their first time taking care of a tiger.

But Miss Ruan is different. She seems to really treat Uncle Tiger as a big cat. Her technique is obviously acquired through petting hundreds of cats.

Chen Ying and Senior Brother Gu brought the surgical team members to hold a short video conference with the medical team at the breeding center to summarize the situation of the operation.

In fact, there are quite a few eye surgeries performed on tigers in China, but there are not many South China tigers. After all, there are only a few of them in total, and it is impossible for every tiger to have eye disease.

This operation will serve as a good reference for similar operations on other tigers in the future.

The South China Tiger Breeding Center is also very confident in Brother Gu's surgical skills and said that they can cooperate more in the future.

After the meeting, Senior Brother Gu insisted on inviting Chen Ying to dinner, saying that his lifelong wish had finally come true.

Let Uncle Tiger stay at the center for a week, and then he can go back to the mountain to continue recuperating if there is no problem.

Chen Ying went back early because there were many animals at home that needed to be taken care of.

The number of giant pandas here has increased recently. We had originally guided some of them to the bamboo forest on the mountain, but for some reason, even giant pandas from several mountains away came here to meet each other.

The panda people who are responsible for supervising the giant pandas are going crazy. Their daily routine is to wail in the group, "Where are the pandas?" and then chase the radio signals.

These are the ones with collars. There are also wild cats without collars. It’s like “Eight hundred miles of clouds and moon, black and white bears invading Shu Mountains”.

After the news spread, the neighboring province of Shaanxi almost set up a checkpoint between the two provinces, fearing that their precious bear would "forget Shaanxi" if they were not careful.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to this happening.

The benefit is that it strengthens the flow of genes and reduces the probability of inbreeding in a small circle.

But there are also disadvantages. The limited space cannot accommodate so many big eaters, and the bamboo forest is easily damaged. This will cause irreversible damage to the local ecological environment.

Hence, Chen, the human-shaped cat decoy, Archdruid, Ying, accepted the order from his superiors, left Jiamugou urgently, and headed to the Northeast Forest to participate in a program that was half popular science and half entertainment.

The hosts of this program are very familiar, they are Sister Wang and the older male host Brother Wei.

This is a program about ecology, flora and fauna promoted by CCTV.

In addition to Chen Ying, there are also well-known domestic botanists, zoologists and related science popularization experts.

Including the host, the team consisted of seven people in total. During the one-year shooting period, they traveled to nearly twenty provinces and promoted a theme every month.

Of course, the five-person guest group is not fixed. Guests will only show up for filming if relevant content is involved. It is said to be a month, but in fact it only takes ten days to shoot, and the rest is the time for pre-preparation and post-editing.

Chen Ying was arranged to shoot the first episode because of the giant panda incident, and the theme of the shoot was also cats: Northeast Golden Tabby!

This program is very different from previous programs. The host only plays a connecting role, and the main focus is on the guests.

The first scene of this episode is that the five guests meet in Beijing to discuss the shooting order of the entire program, and then determine which shoots they will participate in.

Although they said they were discussing it, in fact, they had already got the script.

After a meal and a night's sleep, the next day we boarded a military transport plane and airdropped directly to our destination.

In March, the old forests in Northeast China are still windy and snowflakes are flying. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the snow.

But the Northeast Golden Snake prefers red pine forests with shallow snow, so the place where they landed this time is also a place where the Northeast Golden Snake often appears.

After getting off the car, Chen Ying wrapped her clothes tightly.

Although it is also extremely cold weather, the cold here is a little different from the cold in the uninhabited area of ​​the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In addition to the clothes they brought with them, the program team also prepared for them large fur coats that the locals love to wear.

Chen Ying wasn't here for a blind date, and as he was extremely cold, he was the first to wrap himself in his fur coat.

Phew, it's much warmer. The main guests this time are the three big men from the Department of Zoology.

He majors in clinical veterinary medicine. Hai Ge with a Mediterranean hairstyle is a zoologist who mainly studies cats and is also a member of the domestic M Alliance. The tall and thin Li Yu is a biology student. He popularizes biological knowledge on the Internet and is a big V with 7 million fans.

"Brother Hai, Brother Ying, should we take a break before entering the old forest, or should we go in directly?"

"I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to Brother Hai."

Brother Hai pushed his hat down and looked at his watch.

"Let's take a look around first. There was news the day before yesterday that a Siberian tiger was seen here. If we find any, we won't have to go too deep. If not, we can rest for a night, prepare everything we need, and go straight into the mountains tomorrow."

As an old cat lover, Brother Hai has been here several times, and he is very familiar with what to prepare and what to do.

The two hosts just need to follow their arrangements throughout the process and act as qualified tools.

Of course, sometimes you also have to take on the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere.

Chen Ying took a deep breath, rubbed his hands, and jumped up and down on the spot.

"Let's go. I think we should be able to find something."

"It's right to listen to Brother Ying, let's go."

Li Yu took the lead and walked eastward, while everyone else looked at him silently.

"Hey, what's up? Why don't you guys leave?"

"Brother, do you know which is north and south?" Brother Hai complained, weighed his backpack, and walked in the opposite direction, "This way!"

Li Yu smiled awkwardly and followed in small steps.

The interaction between these two people instantly brought the show to its full potential.

Compared with the two of them, Chen Ying seems much more old-fashioned.

After walking about a kilometer, Chen Ying suddenly spoke up and asked them to stop.

The forest suddenly became quiet, filled with a tense atmosphere.

"Some animal is approaching, but it's not a tiger."

The cameraman quickly aimed his camera in the direction he pointed.

After five counts, a sika deer rushed out.

After it ran out, it braked suddenly and stopped more than ten meters diagonally in front of the group of people.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at them with clear eyes, as if he was very curious about how two-legged beasts could grow in the snow.

After staying for about half a minute, the sika deer continued running and disappeared into the forest.

"What a beautiful sika deer. This is a female, probably quite young, with a naive and curious personality."

Brother Hai made a few casual introductions and wanted to continue walking, but was stopped by Chen Ying.

"Brother Hai, wait a minute, they are coming again."

This time, more than one sika deer appeared.

The leading stag has branch-like antlers on its head, which makes it look calm and elegant.

After seeing the crowd, he did not stop, but urged his tribesmen to catch up.

A total of twenty-seven sika deer of all sizes, led by a male deer leader, slowly walked past them and entered another forest.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I see such a large herd of sika deer."

Li Yu sighed, and then curiously asked Chen Ying how he knew there was such a large group of sika deer.

"I have good hearing and I heard the sound of them trampling the snow and the calls of the deer."

Li Yu really didn't know how to respond to this and could only give him two thumbs up.

Brother Hai looked at Chen Ying, walked over and asked him if it was possible that the Siberian tiger was in the direction where the sika deer came from, otherwise why would a large group of deer want to move to another place.

But Chen Ying didn’t think there were any Siberian tigers here, at least he didn’t sense the presence of any Siberian tigers here.

Moreover, the stag just now looked calm and the words he said were very social.

The deer are urged to move forward because some of them are saying that they have found a delicious meal on the other side.

In the winter, it is hard to find food, and even harder to find delicious food. If you go too late, you may only be able to dig soil and eat grass roots.

If there were a Siberian tiger around, the deer wouldn't be so calm.

Brother Hai sighed, looked at the sky, and decided to trust Chen Ying once. After all, Dr. Chen's peculiarities were well known in the cat circle.

After returning to the village, I ate and chatted with the village chief, and naturally the topic came to the Northeast Golden Tabby.

"It's not bad here, we haven't had any tiger troubles. Just last month a tiger broke into the village next door and killed about a hundred chickens."

A young male tiger, for some unknown reason, came out of the old forest, rushed into a chicken farm owned by a farmer, and killed more than a hundred chickens in one breath.

Although there is government compensation, it is certainly impossible to fully make up for the losses.

And this is the third time since the beginning of winter this year. We can’t always blame his family for the disaster. Has his family been hit by tiger plague?
