Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 386: Kneeling too fast
Chen Ying did not lie to the bear. There were at least a dozen bamboo shoots in that area.

Only after the giant panda started eating did Chen Ying sneak away, intending to go and see the mother bear and her cubs.

When I looked over there, I saw the mother bear beating her cubs.

Why are you still lingering here instead of leaving now? Do you really think that bear won't beat the female bear?

Unlike other pandas, the mother bear didn't allow Chen Ying to get close to her.

In the moonlight, you can see that the little bear not only doesn't get down from the tree, but also keeps climbing up. It would be strange if your mother doesn't beat you.

Fortunately, the mother bear grabbed the cub, climbed up, bit the cub's hind paw and dragged it down, without worrying that the cub would fall off the tree and die because of the loss of her hold.

After pulling back and forth for more than ten minutes, the little bear cub was no match for its mother's strength and was dragged under the tree. It turned around and ran away angrily.

The mother bear was obviously very angry. She rushed over, bit the child's ear and threw it over the head.

The little bear cub weighed dozens of pounds after all, and it was impossible for it to be thrown up completely. But it couldn't resist its mother's strength either, and was dragged back and forth on the ground for several times. Its originally brown fur was stained with dew and mud, and it looked like a miner bear cub.

The mother and son left the bamboo forest pulling each other. Judging from the direction of their movement, they were probably planning to go to the cold arrow bamboo forest across the river.

There are more than a dozen species of bamboo in this reserve, but the four species that pandas like to eat the most are Chinese orange bamboo, big arrow bamboo, purple arrow bamboo and cold arrow bamboo.

Among them, cold arrow bamboo is the most widely distributed, while purple arrow bamboo is relatively less in number.

But this is only relative to this area. In other protected areas, there are actually quite a few purple arrow bamboos.

It is precisely because the distribution of arrow bamboo is uneven and the giant pandas will not move around for a long time after defining their territory that the diet structure of this overly picky giant panda has changed.

Xiong Youming's wife has now led a team to investigate the distribution of bamboo, and is trying to create a distribution map of several types of bamboo suitable for giant pandas to eat, so that they can use the method of elimination of artificial feeding to infer the reasons for the change in diet.

These things all require professionals using professional equipment to conduct research, and all Chen Ying has to do is cooperate.

Judging from the clues found so far, in order to completely confirm or rule out whether the type of bamboo has an impact on its body, it will probably be necessary to send the giant panda to a specialized research institution for examination.

However, the protection law clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to capture giant pandas when they are in good condition. It will be difficult and arduous for Xiong Youming's project to proceed smoothly.

But Chen Ying didn't need to worry about this. If this project could not be completed, she could only change to another one. Or if she could make effective deductions, it would be fine. The specific situation would depend on how their circle determined whether the research was effective or not.

Over the next week, Xiong Youming and his team recorded and analyzed the giant panda's behavior and eating habits 24 hours a day, while Chen Ying ran back and forth, focusing mainly on the treatment of the clouded leopard.

After more than ten days of treatment, the clouded leopard's injuries have almost recovered.

Of the four clouded leopard cubs, only one is left nearby.

Chen Ying found a chance to take a look and found that the clouded leopard that stayed behind was also a female. It should stay with its mother for a while longer and even share this territory with its mother.

Although the other clouded leopards left their mother early, their brothers and sisters cooperated in hunting during this period, which greatly improved their self-reliance. As long as they don't challenge the impossible, it is not difficult for them to support themselves in this vast forest.

Also during this period of time, Chen Ying was almost certain that the two leopards had most likely had close contact with humans.

They are almost not sensitive to humans. As long as their food is not taken away, they can lie down and play with humans at will.

A leopard, he has managed to live his life like a big cat.

Chen Ying talked to Xiao Zhang and the others about the placement of the two leopards. The person traveling with Xiao Zhang suggested that they should follow Chen Ying's example at the Jiamugou First Aid Station and let the two leopards live around their management station.

This would allow the leopard to live in the forest while providing a certain degree of shelter for both of them.

Whether it will work or not, we need to wait until they go out and report the situation to the higher authorities, and finally the leader will make the final decision.

"But I think this method might be adopted. A few years ago, some people raised a group of golden pheasants in the mountains."

"Although the old farmer didn't know what it was at the time, and he just fed it and didn't restrict the freedom of the golden pheasants."

"So even though the Forestry and Grassland Bureau knew about this, they didn't punish the old farmer. Instead, they sent people to teach him how to raise golden pheasants more scientifically. They also asked people to teach him how to open a farmhouse and use the golden pheasants to generate income for his family."

"Our management station is a formal state institution and has the responsibility to protect the safety of wild animals. Allowing the leopards to live around our management station does not violate the Animal Protection Act, so the application is likely to be approved."

Chen Ying also supported his idea, and if the leopard brothers could really stay and live around the management station, it might also be beneficial to the people in the management station.

After all, the big cat is a relative and a top hunter, so isn’t that the same as having two bodyguards?

In one more day, Xiao Zhang and his team will evacuate.

Despite the strict security measures, one of the sambar deer calves was still dragged away.

The most crucial issue is what species the big beast dragging the sambar calf is. Xiao Zhang and his colleagues have no idea.

It felt like seeing a cub being born, okay, no problem, this is a sure thing.

When I turned around, I heard a deer cry, and when I ran over to take a look, the cub was gone!
In the next two days, Xiao Zhang and his colleagues dared not sleep at night, and Shu Nan could not stand it anymore and went to help for two days, so that they could take turns to rest. Anyway, in these ten days, they lost at least five pounds.

The clouded leopard is now able to move around, but hunting is still a little difficult.

Fortunately, there are many pheasants here, and it is the egg-laying season, so you can just go out for a walk and bring one back.

But Chen Ying was a little worried. Given the pace of two pheasants per day, would the pheasants be able to reproduce successfully this year? Would the pheasant population here decline significantly next year?

With this worry in mind, Chen Ying planned to check the surroundings first while there were still many people around.

When he goes on a trip, it will be a huge event.

There were two leopards following around, and a clouded leopard jumping around above their heads. And the giant panda, who was almost annoyed to death by Xiong Youming and the others, followed Chen Ying directly after seeing her.

Xiong Youming and his team also collected enough sample materials. Except for not being able to do a full-body examination on the giant panda, they had everything they could get. They made preparations for evacuation and planned to go back to do analysis first, and then collect any samples they needed.

After walking three or four kilometers upstream along the stream, a small lake similar to a barrier lake appeared in front of us.

The water level of the lake is seven or eight meters higher than that of the stream below, but the water does not fall vertically, but rather cascades down layer by layer.

(Similar to this, but not as high, with more layers)
Next to the cascading waterfall, on the opposite bank from where he was, a leopard with shiny fur, strong muscles, and smooth body lines was drinking water.

Chen Ying didn't go over, but instead controlled the two leopards beside him to prevent them from rushing forward without thinking.

The leopard was obviously a social leopard with strong fighting ability, and the two others at home were just delivering food to the door.

What was unexpected was that before they got over, the leopard came over.

It didn't get too close, and the leopard even jumped onto a large rock on the shore and looked down at them.

The clouded leopard girl on the tree hid herself vigilantly, waiting for the opportunity to move.

As for the giant panda, it had long since left them to go play in the water.

Chen Ying pressed her fingers on the foreheads of the two leopards to stop them from charging forward. The leopard brothers could also feel the other's strength and were a little confused about whether to fight or run.

They kept looking up at Chen Ying, and their tails slapped Chen Ying's legs, making him grimace in pain.

"You two little guys are still alive?"

The other party spoke, and her voice was so sweet that Chen Ying almost uttered something in Mandarin.

If it were a personification, this leopard would probably be what people often say has an angel face and a devil body.

(The painting was done with a wonderful brush, and the personification seems to have failed)
The two stupid leopards were so frightened that they both hid behind Chen Ying.

The leopard laughed twice, and no one knew how it made those sounds.

In short, after looking at the two leopards, it turned its gaze back to Chen Ying.

"I've heard of you. I didn't expect you to come to my territory."

The leopard jumped down and slowly approached Chen Ying, finally stopping one meter away.

"I have seen these two little guys. Their mother died of illness, so I sent them to the Twolegs. But the Twolegs didn't know what they were, so they kept them with the other little creatures. When I went there again, they were gone."

It turns out that this leopard was really raised by humans, and was raised with cats. No wonder it has such a cat-like temperament.

Chen Ying glanced at the beautiful leopard and made a tentative request.

"It's not that they don't have any ability, it's just that it's very poor. How about you work harder and teach them how to hunt?"

The leopard tilted its head and looked at the two stupid leopards carefully. "Okay, I can live with them for a while, but not too long. I need to find a partner to have cubs. They are too much of a hindrance."

The disgust is palpable.

The leopard brothers also understood what each other meant, but they were a little unhappy.

Everything is pretty good now. Although it is difficult to hunt large prey, we can still make a living by catching rabbits and wild boars, and then waiting for an opportunity to catch some cubs of other animals. Why do we have to learn from this mother leopard that despises them?

Chen Ying hadn't noticed their reluctance yet and was about to continue persuading them, but the female leopard ran over and slapped the grumbling Han Dazhao in the face.

Han Er, who was a little more clever next to him, fell to the ground instantly, holding his head with his front paws and making a "mmm" sound.

Isn't this kneeling speed a bit too fast?

Didn’t you hear the clouded leopard girl above you sneering?
