Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 361: Evil Birds Have Their Own Evil Beasts to Crush Them

Xia Sen followed Duoduo for nearly twenty minutes and was led to a tree hole.

Xia Sen smelled a faint smell of blood.

Duoduo's mother wolf and her wolf cubs were standing guard nearby vigilantly.

The entrance to the cave was not big, so Xia Sen could only lie on the ground and look inside.

Duoduo and the she-wolf came over and called out twice, and a faint response came from inside.

Xia Sen quickly opened the medical box, took out a flashlight, adjusted the light, and shone it inside.

It turned out to be a young female wolf giving birth.

There were already two wolf cubs crawling in its belly, but there was still a lump of feces hanging from its birth canal that seemed unable to be expelled, making it very uncomfortable. In addition, a pool of blood had already formed where it lay.

Xia Sen took a breath and didn't care about anything else. He disinfected his hands, put on gloves, tried to keep them clean, and then reached out to touch the external birth canal of the female wolf who was in labor.

The female wolf whimpered, almost out of strength, unable to even struggle.

Xia Sen lay down and tried hard to take out the stuck wolf cub.

In addition to this little wolf cub, another little wolf cub was also suffocated to death in the belly.

Fortunately, Duoduo knew to ask for help and finally snatched the mother wolf's life back from the hands of the devil, and the lives of the two little wolf cubs were also saved.

Chen Ying left life-saving medicine at the first aid station, and Xia Sen immediately fed one to the little wolf.

The mother wolf, who was having difficulty giving birth, didn't want to swallow the baby, but after her mother wolf roared at her, she swallowed it obediently.

Xia Sen withdrew his hand, feeling his shoulder a little sore. He shook it twice, wrapped up the two dead wolf cubs, and planned to find a place to bury them deep.

Normally, the mother wolf would eat the wolf cub and the placenta directly. But Xia Sen couldn't get over it, so he stuffed the placenta into the mother wolf's mouth and wrapped the wolf cub with a piece of gauze.

At this time, a young male wolf came over with a rabbit in his mouth.

"Let it eat more and regain some strength, otherwise there won't even be enough milk to feed the cubs."

When Xia Sen was applying medicine to the mother wolf to stop the bleeding, he pinched her stomach at the same time. The food supply for the little wolf cubs was worrying.

"Duduo, you guys stay here and I'll go back and get some nourishment for the little wolf."

Of course it is possible to eat only meat, but the conversion is relatively slow, so artificial means must be used.

Xia Sen's notes filled up a whole book about the various key points of postpartum care for female animals.

It took four or five hours. Only after Xia Sen was sure that the little female wolf was fine did he drag his stiff body back to the first aid station.

Seeing that he looked exhausted, Ruan Mengmeng quickly told him to go and rest.

It was almost time for dinner when a young male wolf came over with two mixed-breed wolf cubs and a forest deer.

The three of them left the fawn behind and walked away, leaving Ruan Mengmeng completely unable to move.

After the three wolves left, she looked down at the deer with a sad face and worriedly.

"Brother Gao, what should we do with this thing? You won't accuse us of killing protected animals indiscriminately, right?"

Lao Gao came out of the kitchen, took a look, and asked Ruan Mengmeng to take a picture with a camera, and then upload it to the central database for filing.

"Remember to check the surveillance video later and cut out the part where the wolf drags the deer over and send it over."

As for the deer, it was a bargain for the little guys, and the leftovers were shared among Uncle Tiger and Big Tiger.

Da Hu has become a lot braver recently. He would go out hunting in the morning and then bring back the prey for them to eat together.

Generally speaking, once a tiger in the wild has hunted and eaten its fill, it will not go again for at least three to five days.

But the tiger has a big appetite, and it is still adapting to its one-eyed state, so half of its hunting depends on luck, so it basically goes out for a walk every day.

With this big eater around, the number of rabbits nearby is decreasing quite quickly.

It will not destroy the ecological balance. After all, apart from rabbits, tigers prefer to eat meaty prey such as deer and musk deer.

The rabbits were brought back for the tiger cubs to eat, as well as the fat pheasants.

The pheasant tastes good after the feathers are plucked. Moreover, the bones of the pheasant are smaller than those of other animals, so you can chew them and swallow them directly, which can also supplement calcium.

Xia Sen was sleeping, and Lao Gao helped to cut up the deer. He gave the soft and tender meat to the three tiger cubs, and the easily digestible internal organs and front legs to Uncle Tiger, while the big tiger took all the rest.

While they were dissecting the fawn, a flock of crows flew over from the tree next to the first aid station.

Lao Gao frowned as he looked at the group of crows. "These guys are so annoying. They are almost lawless."

Crows are not only carnivorous, but also love to steal things. If the doors or windows are not closed properly, they will get in and take things away. Glasses, small mirrors, any shiny little thing will not escape their clutches.

Ruan Mengmeng's contact lenses were stolen by this group of guys.

"It's ok for them to steal things, but recently they've been plucking the tiger's fur. I'm afraid they're going to build a nest."

Normally, crows lay and incubate eggs in March and April.

The baby crows can be hatched in a dozen days, but they need to be fed by their parents for a month before they can leave the nest.

The climate in Jiamugou is two or three degrees lower than that in the plains, so the time for crows to lay eggs will be slightly delayed, and this period happens to be their egg-laying season.

A few days ago, Lao Gao took his younger classmates to see several big trees. There were many bird nests on the trees. There were at least twenty crow nests on a thirty-year-old tree.

Because this period is the breeding season for birds, there are many more small animals stealing bird eggs.

For example, mustelids temporarily camp around the trees with the most bird nests, observing every day to see if their targets have laid eggs.

Not only animals are waiting, but some birds are also waiting for their own kind to lay eggs. They will seize the opportunity to squeeze the eggs laid by others out of the nest and lay their own eggs.

Lao Gao will not interfere in the fights between his own kind, as this is also a difficulty they must face in the process of growing up.

However, there were too many crows, which had a great impact on the environment of the first aid station.

Without the giant panda cubs who love to climb trees, the birds have become more unbridled.

On the fourth day after Duoduo came to ask for help, Xia Sen went to see the little female wolf again and found that it had fully recovered.

When he saw Xia Sen coming, he took the initiative to come out of the cave, greeted Xia Sen, and then went to the side to eat the prey brought back by the little male wolf.

Duoduo, the mother wolf and their cubs were staying not far away. The mother wolf was watching the surroundings alertly and looked more imposing than Duoduo.

Xia Sen turned on the flashlight and looked at the two wolf cubs.

They were a lot fatter than when I first saw them, with fluffy fur, and they were huddled together sleeping soundly.

Xia Sen did not touch the wolf cub. After seeing that there was no problem, he planned to leave.

The little wolf stopped eating and gave him a low cry.

Xia Sen didn't understand what the mother wolf said, but he could hear the gentleness in her tone.

After tentatively touching its head, Xia Sen took out a pill and stuffed it into its mouth.

The little wolf's expression froze for a moment, but she finally swallowed the pill and started eating immediately, as if she wanted to suppress the strange smell with the delicious meat.

Walking back from the wolves, you will pass by the place where the crows are staying.

Xia Sen walked carefully down there, fearing that the flock of crows would peck him.

He had just driven them away and stopped them from stealing Xiaohu's food, so these crows held a grudge against him and would come to tease him from time to time.

Some kind of "surprise" from the sky, like something suddenly flying low over his head and grabbing him.

The main point is that I can’t do anything to you and I’m going to disgust you to death!
Xia Sen had a weak temper, so he had no choice but to ask Uncle Zhao for a bamboo hat, paste a layer of oil paper or plastic film on it, wear it when going out, and rinse it with water after returning to the first aid station.

But today, after walking for a while, there were surprisingly few crows to tease him.

Xia Sen felt it was a bit strange, so he found a place with a good view and prepared to use a telescope to see what these birds were up to.

He was frightened when he saw this.

On the nearest tree, the bird's nest was in a mess and the crows were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the surrounding trees, although the bird nests are still there, most of them are empty.

Xia Sen quickly took out his phone and called Lao Gao over.

This situation is definitely not normal. I don’t know if it was caused by a fight between birds, or if some other animal just attacked the crow.

Snakes should not destroy bird nests.

Lao Gao arrived quickly, and Da Hu came with him.

This big guy has been paying less attention to his eyes lately, and after becoming familiar with the surrounding situation, he likes to go out and move around more.

Lao Gao rushed over and took a look through the telescope. "It's monkeys. The monkeys and crows are fighting."

After all, he is a specialist in this field. He can tell what kind of animal would cause such damage just by looking at the traces.

He climbed up the tree with tools, and after carefully looking at several destroyed bird nests, he frowned.

"Besides monkeys, there are other animals. I don't know much about animals. Which animal in this forest do you think likes to catch birds?"

The most aggressive bird catchers must be cats.

But because of the presence of Jinya and Xiaojin, the number of other cats in this forest is relatively small, and they do not hang around the first aid station.

Clouded leopards and leopard cats prefer to catch mice, rabbits, and small mammals to eat. As for birds, they prefer meaty pheasants.

After thinking about it, Xia Sen came up with only one possibility: someone who likes to attack bird eggs.

"Maybe it's a big civet or a small civet? They should be more interested in birds and bird eggs."

"The big civet mother that was rescued from the rescue station before seems to have brought back a litter of cubs. Could it be these?"

They are not Chen Ying, so this question cannot be answered.

The two looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so they could only take some photos and leave.

"I'll come over later to see if I can install an infrared camera. I won't be able to sleep until I figure this out."

It would be fine if only the crow was in trouble, but if other birds were like this as well, he would definitely not be able to eat or sleep well.

For two consecutive days, they came to check, but there was no movement in the tree.

When I came back on the third day, I found that the broken nest was gone and there were several new bird nests.

However, the murderer who destroyed the bird's nest does not seem to have appeared again, which may be good news.

After Lao Gao sorted out the photos, he sent them to the people at the Bird Research Institute and asked them to arrange people to conduct an investigation.

Soon, we received a reply from the Bird Research Institute.

This was indeed done by a large civet cat, but the Bird Research Institute was unable to identify whether it was the one rescued by the emergency station before. They could only send the photos they took to Xia Sen for identification.
