Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 395 Erniu becomes a mother (asking for monthly ticket)

At night, a dark shadow slipped into the rest stop along the wall.

He stayed at the door of Chen Ying's room for a moment, then quickly flashed past and rushed into the dog nanny's territory.

The nanny dog ​​was lying at the door of the dog house. Inside the house, three puppies and two fox cubs were sleeping soundly together.

The intruder in the darkness made the dog nanny look up in alert, but she didn't make a sound.

The familiar smell allowed it to immediately know the identity of the visitor.

The little snow leopard was holding a rabbit in its mouth. After approaching the nanny dog, it threw the rabbit in front of the dog, took a step back and lay down.

The temperature indoors is slightly higher than outdoors, as the howling cold wind is blocked.

In addition, Chen Ying and his team modified the electric heater and used the solar panels on the roof to drive the indoor electric radiator, so that the room would not reach sub-zero temperatures during the coldest time.

Solar power generation cannot operate the electric heaters in all the rooms. After discussing with Sun Qihai, Chen Ying only installed a radiator in the dog house. The heating in their room still mainly relies on electric blankets.

The little snow leopard lay there for a while, then felt uncomfortable, so he walked to the radiator and chose a suitable spot to lie down.

Well, it’s nice here and warm. I’ll have a good sleep and leave when it’s daybreak.

Ten minutes later, the snow leopard fell asleep with its limbs facing the sky and snoring.

On the heating pad, the dog nurse let out a long sigh of exhaustion. With such loud snoring, how can the dog sleep?

In the early morning, when the dew condensed into ice beads, the yellow-haired cat and the big snow leopard came one after the other, each holding a cloven-hoofed cub in their mouths.

They also knew not to drag the prey into the room, so after throwing it at Chen Ying's door, they also went into the dog nanny's room.

I don’t know when Erniu came over to use the heat in the middle of the night. She and the little snow leopard huddled together and slept soundly.

The wet nurse dog was breastfeeding her baby. She glanced dimly at the two snow leopards passing by outside the doghouse, looking a bit desperate and hopeless.

He turned over slightly to prevent any animals from outside from seeing his cubs and adopted little fox.

With adequate nutritional supplements, this Labrador mix dog has enough milk to feed five cubs without any burden.

The fox cub was much smaller and could not compete with the three puppies at all.

But the mother dog knew very well that if it weren't for the two adopted foxes, it would be impossible for it and its cubs to live such a good life. So it would stop its own son from snatching food and satisfy the needs of the two adopted sons first.

But the fox cub had a small appetite and got full after eating just a little. So he obediently gave up his seat and lay down under the mother dog's jaw to sleep.

I don’t know if they understand something, but they can only fall asleep peacefully after feeling the hot air coming out of their mother dog’s nose.

After the children were fed, Chen Ying also came in with the food bowl.

When he saw the four leopards occupying the doghouse, he closed his eyes, as if trying to suppress his anger.

After putting the food bowl away, Chen Ying went over to check on Erniu.

Erniu's belly was very big. When she felt him coming, she just opened her eyes for a moment, tilted her head, and fell asleep again leaning on his arm.

He asked a snow leopard expert in Qinghai Province, who said that snow leopards would become very sleepy and have an increased appetite before giving birth, so he should pay more attention to the situation.

Generally speaking, before giving birth, female animals will go to the place where they feel most comfortable to give birth, so Chen Ying arranged the snow leopard's den to be very comfortable, for she was worried that Erniu would not feel comfortable during her confinement.

As a result, the little girl didn't sleep well in her den in the middle of the night, but ran to the doghouse to get some heat.

To be honest, the doghouse is not as warm as its den.

Seeing Chen Ying’s gloomy face, the three leopards, including the little snow leopard, quickly jumped out.

When Chen Ying brought Erniu over, the three snow leopards on the wooden platform of the animal shed next door looked at him with innocent faces.

"Okay, the three of you stop pretending to be pitiful here. There are a few little ones over there, you should at least be more careful."

The big snow leopard yawned loudly and kicked the yellow-haired man.

"Why are you staying here? Go away and do what you need to do." He turned to look at his sister with a look of slight disdain, "You too, go away and come back after Erniu gives birth."

The little snow leopard, who was ordered to leave by his brother, looked reluctant, but did not dare to say a word.

Huangmao can still fight with the big snow leopard, but he will only get beaten if he goes up.

Seeing the little snow leopard leaving with its tail swung in disappointment, the yellow-haired man roared at the big snow leopard twice and jumped down as well.

He came to Erniu's den, said hello to it, and trotted to catch up with the little snow leopard.

The two leopards were whispering to each other, and then they saw the yellow-haired one speeding up, and the little snow leopard followed.

The big snow leopard finally sent away the pair of mournful snow leopards, and the air felt a lot fresher.

It didn't stay there forever. It wanted to go and take a look around before Erniu gave birth.

Since they came here, the snow leopards have made this wilderness their own territory.

It’s no wonder that these four snow leopards are the bullies wherever they go, and no other leopard dares to come up and seize their territory.

The female leopard that used to wander around nearby also migrated farther after smelling the scent of Erniu and the little snow leopard. As for whether she was cursing while walking, only the female leopard herself knew.

On the third day after the three leopards left, Erniu seemed to show signs of giving birth.

It had been irritable since early morning.

Chen Ying has been staying with it in the animal shed.

But Erniu didn't seem to want to stay here. She ran to Chen Ying's room, dragged the quilt on his bed to the foot of the bed, turned over and fell asleep on it.

It was just a quilt, and Chen Ying didn't feel sorry for it at all.

Before my second daughter was born, I quickly consulted an expert and prepared nutritious meals for the mother in advance.

His phone was always live streaming, and on the other end of the phone was an expert from Qing Province, who was also anxiously waiting for Erniu to give birth.

At noon, Erniu suddenly ran to the wooden frame of the animal shed, lay down on her side, and began to lick her belly and birth canal. Chen Ying was worried that she would give birth to her baby outside because of her lack of experience. She began to turn over uncomfortably and screamed in pain.

Chen Ying was heartbroken and wanted to go over to comfort her, but the expert told him not to get close for the time being because Erniu had just started having contractions and it would probably take some time before she gave birth.

After more than two hours of this, Erniu returned to her den and lay down without moving.

Worried about Erniu, Chen Ying and Sun Qihai were not in the mood to cook. They just cooked two packets of instant noodles and then sat in front of the display screen to observe Erniu's situation through the surveillance camera in the den.

Yin Li drove over in the evening.

"Xiao Song told me that Erniu is about to give birth. I guess you two are not in the mood to cook, so I brought some food over. I will take a break these two days, and I will switch shifts with you to monitor. You two go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when Erniu makes any movement."

Yin Li knew that he couldn't help much, but he didn't need Chen Ying and the others before he died, so he had to go to bed quickly.

Chen Ying drove Sun Qihai back to his room to rest, while Chen Ying wrapped himself in a down jacket and lay directly on the camp bed in the monitoring room.

The monitoring room is right next to his room. In addition to Erniu's den, there is also a camera connected to a display screen in the doghouse.

Perhaps sensing Erniu's restlessness, the puppies and fox cubs huddled together in fear and were not active in feeding.

The dog nanny pricked up her ears and stood vigilantly at the door of the doghouse, not moving a step forward.

At 2:30 in the middle of the night, Erniu started to torture herself again.

Chen Ying woke up with a start, got up and rubbed his face, then went out to get some cool air, and he felt much more awake.

He went to the animal shed with a thermos, a milk bottle, and the meat that had been prepared long ago.

The big snow leopard also came back and lay down against the earthen wall of the animal shed, looking very annoyed.

"Don't be afraid, Erniu. I'm here."

Chen Ying threw the cotton pad on the ground, sat on it, and lowered his head to look into the nest.

Unfortunately, it was pitch dark inside and I couldn’t see clearly.

Hearing Chen Ying's voice, Erniu whimpered for a while.

Chen Ying stuck the night light she bought online into the entrance of the den.

The light was very soft, barely enough for him to see Erniu's condition clearly.

After waiting for more than an hour and the big snow leopard going in and out three or four times, Erniu finally started giving birth.

The first cub was born quickly.

Without asking Chen Ying for help, it took the big cub to its chest and began to lick it carefully.

After a while, the second cub was born.

Erniu looked very tired after giving birth for the first time, but she was still trying hard to gather her strength to prepare for the birth of her third child.

Chen Ying seized the opportunity and fed it a few bites of fresh meat to replenish its energy.

Perhaps because Chen Ying and the big snow leopard were guarding it outside, Erniu was not anxious even though she felt uncomfortable.

By the time Erniu gave birth to two weak cubs after great effort, almost three hours had passed.

After the fourth cub was born safely, the placenta also slid out, indicating that the birth was truly over.

Chen Ying let out a long breath, and quickly poured water to mix milk powder and nutritional powder to replenish Erniu's energy.

About half an hour later, Erniu fed the children and came out to show off her milk.

The meat that Chen Ying brought had been almost used up in feeding it. Before Yin Li could bring new meat, the big snow leopard had already returned dragging back the fresh prey it had hunted.

Erniu didn't say anything and just started eating.

While it was eating, Chen Ying reached out to take out the cub and measure it.

Erniu just glanced at him and continued to chew the bone.

The big snow leopard came close to Chen Ying and gently touched the cubs with its nose.

As if frightened by the blood and milk of the cub, it couldn't help but take a step back, whimpering in surprise.

"You're a loser." Chen Ying cursed with a smile and pushed the snow leopard's head away.

The four little guys were taken to the incubator one by one for measurement.

Body length, weight, integrity of limbs and strength of struggle were all normal.

The last cub born was indeed much weaker, weighing a quarter less than its heaviest brother, and its cry was also weaker.

Among the four cubs, only the third one is a little girl, but she weighs more than the fourth one.

After the measurement, he sent all four cubs back to the den, touched Erniu's head, and then Chen Ying left the animal shed with the things.

"How is it, little one?" Yin Li came forward to help pack up.

"Fortunately, they are all healthy. Except that the fourth cub is a little lighter, there is nothing wrong with the rest."

He handed the things to Yin Li to help collect, then quickly ran to the computer and uploaded the data records of the four cubs to the database.

Qing Province quickly received the relevant data of the four cubs.

A specialized keeper will immediately analyze the data and provide a separate feeding plan.

This plan is also a backup plan, and it depends on Erniu's situation. If she is unable to take on the responsibility of feeding four cubs, human intervention will be necessary.

If it can be supported, it is definitely best for the mother animal to carry it herself.
