Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 400: Is it natural, or was he born without ink?

Chen Ying did not refuse. It was better to keep the money. He also planned to renovate the rest stop. Even if he couldn't make it a second first aid station, he could at least make it a wildlife first aid and temporary shelter and observation station.

Although the Heyuan Management Station can also take in the animals, the scope of their responsibility is too large. Currently, Xiao Song and her assistant are the only ones supporting the wildlife emergency rescue mission of the Heyuan Management Station, and they are really unable to cope with it all.

The location of the rest stop is very good. It is located at the junction of the experimental area and the buffer zone. It can be used as a rest and supply place for the scientific expedition team, and can also be used for wildlife observation and first aid work.

As for personnel, we can learn from Brother Xiong Youming and his team and adopt the approach of selecting trainees and veterinarians as volunteers to supplement our manpower.

Moreover, from November to mid-March of the following year, there is no need to arrange staff on duty here. After all, it is too cold and the animals will not easily leave their burrows.

From mid-March to the end of October is the peak period for animals to mate and reproduce, and it is also the golden period for scientific research.

Having one more observatory will also be beneficial to scientific researchers.

Besides, solar panels have been installed here, it would be a shame to just leave it abandoned.

The university that almost got into trouble this time has a high status in the domestic wildlife academic community. They stepped forward to help Chen Ying set up a personal emergency room, and the procedures were much simpler than if Chen Ying applied for it herself.

There are also certain equipment and instruments that cannot be purchased by individuals unless they are applied for in the name of school scientific research.

The several sets of advanced equipment at the Heyuan Rescue Center were all donated by Miss Dao in the name of her family.

After the matter of the first aid station was preliminarily finalized, the leader had to leave as he had other things to do, leaving the team leader to discuss with Chen Ying about observing the wild yak herd.

After the leader left, the teacher pulled Chen Ying aside and asked him if he was interested in albino animals.

What are you planning to do?

Fortunately, the teacher quickly made clear what he wanted to say.

"Two more albino animals have recently been discovered in that uninhabited area of ​​Hunan Province. A friend of mine specializes in studying animal albinism and is planning to form a scientific expedition team to go into the forest area to collect biological samples. Doctor Chen, are you interested in going with us to take a look?"

Chen Ying's first reaction was to decline, but she suddenly remembered that she had never had the chance to enter that forest area. If she declined this time, she didn't know if she would have the chance to enter again in the future.

The state now has extremely strict management of nature reserves. Without a legitimate reason and sufficient qualifications, don't even think about entering. If you trespass, once you are discovered, the consequences are probably not something he can afford.

"When will you go in?"

"It depends on the situation. It will be around October. It's probably between the Golden Week and the beginning of winter."

Building a team, applying for projects, and applying for licenses all take time.

Moreover, whether the project can be approved depends on luck.

There are so many individuals and institutions that want to study albino animals, and it's impossible to go wherever you want.

"Okay, then please add me. If you need any information from me, you can email me."

The teacher also breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Chen Ying with a smile.

Chen Ying saved his students and also saved his career. If something really happened, he would definitely bear part of the responsibility.

After seeing the teacher off, Chen Ying took out a large piece of meat from the refrigerator to thaw it. She cooked some of it for the dog nanny as dinner, and prepared the rest for the snow leopard.

This guy saved someone, so he deserves a reward!
When he came to the animal shed at the back with the basin of meat, he found that Erniu and the big snow leopard were not there, but there was a grayish-white little creature toddling and learning to crawl at the entrance of the den.

He walked to the edge of the den, and the little fellow bumped into the tip of his shoe, then fell backwards with its four paws facing the sky, revealing its chubby, round belly.

Chen Ying couldn't help but touch it.

Sure enough, the kitten’s fur is extremely soft and feels like a ball of cotton in the hand.

The one that ran out should be the eldest one, who eats a lot, is very strong, and doesn't like to sleep.

The second and third children were different. They either ate or slept every day, as if the eldest child's sleepiness was shared equally among his younger brothers and sisters.

In the surveillance video, we can see that when Erniu is holding the second and third cubs to sleep, the eldest cub is dancing behind her, just like a human baby who becomes full of energy at night.

(The picture is from the Big Cat Sanctuary, a park in Kent, England)
The snow leopard cubs will not be weaned until they are two or three months old, and now their main nutritional intake still comes from Erniu's breastfeeding.

But because the cubs have grown a lot, Erniu's burden has become much heavier. Specifically, she has to eat almost every day, otherwise she will not be able to provide enough milk for the little leopards.

Just as I was picking up the eldest cub to check, the second girl jumped in lightly.

It squatted aside, sniffed the meat in the bowl, and thought it should be able to have a few more bites.

After unceremoniously storing the snow leopard's food into her own stomach, Erniu came over, took the eldest cub from Chen Ying's hands, and went into the den to feed the three children.

Following behind it came the big snow leopard.

He walked over and smelled the remaining blood in the basin, then raised his innocent face to look at Chen Ying.

"Come on, go to the back and I'll feed you some meat."

Patting the snow leopard's furry head, Chen Ying took it to the door of the mixing room. Sun Qihai didn't dare to come out, so he stood in the room and took a photo of the snow leopard through the window and sent it to his mother and teacher.

[Big Snow Leopard.jpg, it was him who saved those students. He is also a rare responsible cat father. He often feeds Erniu, and when Erniu goes out for a walk, he will stay nearby to protect the little snow leopards. ]

Looking at his chat interface, the photo was sent more than once.

Sun's mother did not reply to him, but Sun Qihai's master's supervisor asked him whether Chen Ying agreed to cooperate.

"I think it's difficult. The school leaders of the two rescued students also came and said they would donate a personal medical room to Ying Ge and a sum of 'postpartum nutrition money' to Er Niu. It's too treacherous!"

They are all universities, but there is a gap between the top universities. The university involved in this incident is one of the top 3 universities in the circle, and the university where he studied for his master's degree is relatively lower in level.

His supervisor did not give up and said that they could not donate the medical room, but they could provide other help. For example, when there was a shortage of manpower, their graduate students and senior students could be used at will!

Sun Qihai didn't want to talk much, it seemed like they were really arrogant.

The big snow leopard was guarding the door of the mixing room, howling from time to time.

"That mountain is pretty good, with plenty of food. I also found a cave where they can all live. Do you want me to take you to see it?"

While Chen Ying was cutting meat to defrost it, she asked it why it wanted to take Erniu and the others away.

"You have so many bipeds here. It's not convenient to hunt them. When the cubs grow up, I have to teach them how to hunt. Start with the smaller ones. Catch them like this! W(￣_￣)W"

The big snow leopard stood up and made a pounce gesture.

"I'm so awesome, my kids must be awesome too. Especially the oldest one, who looks like me!"

Chen Ying turned his head to look at it. He didn't know whether its abilities were similar, but its body shape was quite similar, with the potential for a fat and big guy.

I cut off three pounds of meat and put it in a bowl for the snow leopard to chew slowly.

After finishing my work, I had not been sitting down for ten minutes when I heard the sound of a car.

Chen Ying raised her head and looked out the window. It was Yin Li coming over.

"Why are you here? What happened?"

"No, I heard you saved a few students, so I came to check on you. Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me? They were saved in time thanks to the big snow leopard. This guy has been with Erniu for a long time and has learned how to save people."

Looking at the big snow leopard still struggling with the frozen meat, Yin Li leaned over and touched it.

The big snow leopard waved its claws irritably, yelled "Ah!" at him, and ran away with the frozen meat in its mouth.

"This guy..." Yin Li smiled and went into the house to pour himself some water. "I came here to ask about your next plan. After this incident, the bureau requires each station to strengthen patrols, and everyone who enters the buffer zone must register truthfully. The time of entry and exit must be noted, and if they fail to leave on time, the person must be contacted."

This time I was lucky to meet a savior, but what if I was unlucky?
And it is impossible to cut off scientific research activities just because of this incident. What should be carried out must be carried out, but the safety measures that need to be improved must also be improved.

Yin Li conveyed some notices issued by the bureau and chatted with Chen Ying for a while, and somehow they talked about the albino wild yak.

"This yak has attracted inquiries from several units. White yaks are not a rare species. There is a stable herd of white yaks in Tianzhu. But this is the first time we have found wild white yaks here. I heard that at least five units have applied to come here to obtain samples for research."

Yin Li came here this time with a mission, and hoped that Chen Ying could go with him to check on the white yak.

"White yaks have always been found only in Tianzhu. There have been legends about them in other places, but no wild white yaks have been seen. When one suddenly appeared, some leaders wanted to know whether it was a lost Tianzhu white yak, an albino yak that appeared by accident, or a white yak produced by natural hybridization."

The existing white yaks are not albino yaks.

Some time ago, the scientific research team of L State University and L State Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Drug Research Institute of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences worked together to reveal the mystery of the evolution of the white yak's coat color.

The interspecific hybridization between domestic black yaks and spotted yellow cattle produced spotted yaks, and the spotted yaks then underwent genetic mutations to produce white yaks.

The relevant research results were recently published in the international academic journal Nature Communications.

If the research results show that this is the first white yak, everyone should do what they should do.

If not, hey, we can still hope to achieve this year's scientific research KPI.

Chen Ying also comes from an academic background, so she naturally knows how hard the research community fights for resources.

For the same research project, whoever starts first will gain the upper hand.

Since it was Yin Li who proposed it, he must support it.

"Let's go. It's still early. Let's go and take a look. It would be a joke if the golden yak fades."

This possibility is relatively low, but it is not impossible.

After all, even our national treasure, the giant panda, can run out of ink, so why can’t a yak fade?
