Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 453: Is this long-haired person the same as that long-haired person?

Send the information collected, photos and videos taken in the past few days to the team group.

Chen Ying planned to send the few samples back to the Administration first, ask the team members who were still analyzing and researching them to help process them, and then go from the Administration to the observatory.

"Okay, the two of us will go first. We need to get some supplies on the way."

Chen Ying helped them bring equipment over from the Administration, and the two of them left their supplies to Da Wang to help prepare.

After a lot of trouble, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon when the whole team gathered in the parking lot outside the observatory.

The observatory is an observation point of the golden monkey field research base, five or six kilometers away from the base.

Follow the wooden plank road at the base to the end, then walk through the forest for about half an hour to reach the destination.

The base is open to the public and has a publicity function. There are nearly a hundred golden monkeys living here.

The field observation station was originally a log house built to track and observe golden snub-nosed monkeys. It is a bit similar to the warehouse cabin of the Jiamugou Emergency Station, but not as big as the warehouse cabin.

There were twelve people in total this time, three of them stayed in the wooden house, and the rest were divided into two teams to conduct tracking and investigation.

Chen Ying chose the team that went to Luoquantao Canyon. Dao Meihua was in the same team with him, but their goal was to collect plant samples and identify plant species.

After spending a night in the cabin, the two teams set out at the same time the next day.

The team heading to Luoquantao Canyon had five members, and the other team had only four.

"Ying Bo, how many times have you come to the snare trap?"

"This is the fourth time." Ying Youqi answered the king while checking the equipment. "I came here once as an undergraduate and stayed here for half a year during my master's degree. My research at that time was related to golden monkeys. Then I came here with my supervisor for an inspection during my first year of doctoral studies. This is the fourth time, and I am here for my graduation thesis."

Chen Ying was helping on the side, and looked up when she heard this, "Then Ying Bo should be very familiar with golden monkeys?"

"I'm quite familiar with them, but compared to the staff at the base, I'm only a little better in theory. They are the ones who are really familiar with them. They have been here for more than ten or twenty years. Basically, they have watched the monkeys here grow up."

Ying Bo put down the adjusted equipment and looked up at Chen Ying.

"Teacher Chen, are you asking about the monkey in the photo you posted yesterday? I discussed this with the teacher and several other teachers here, and it should be a golden monkey. In fact, we have seen this tall monkey several times, but it is very alert and never willing to approach humans."

The lifespan of golden snub-nosed monkeys in the wild is usually between 20 and 25 years. Old golden snub-nosed monkeys will find a quiet corner and wait for death quietly before their time comes.

Because golden snub-nosed monkeys have a long lifespan, Ying Bo and the others thought that the tall monkey photographed by Chen Ying and Da Wang was the one they had seen before.

"One of the reasons why I came here this time is to find that tall golden monkey. If I can get its biological samples, my graduation thesis will basically be a sure thing."

Although unique individuals are individuals, they are also worth studying.

Chen Ying's target is albino animals, and he is not interested in any specific individuals of golden snub-nosed monkeys, unless its height is a disease that he can cure.

Ying Bo was familiar with the place and the route, and he quickly led his team members to the outskirts of the Luoquantao Grand Canyon.

This time, they will try to explore further inside, as far as they can go, but the premise is that safety must be guaranteed.

After arriving at the destination, Ying Bo first arranged to set up camp, then explored the surrounding environment, and moved there after determining the next safe place.

In addition to him, Da Wang and another classmate also came for the albino animals. They were researching the topic of "Is there any relationship between the white animals in Shennongjia and albinism?"

While Chen Ying was simply curious, Dao Meihua was taking advantage of the situation to carry out her botanical research.

Her doctoral thesis is still related to "Rhodiola rosea", but she would definitely not refuse the opportunity to study other rare plants.

After the camping site was set up, Dao Meihua and another classmate stayed to guard the camp, while Ying Bo took Da Wang and Chen Ying to a mountain road he had walked before.

"Once you go down here, you will officially enter the Grand Canyon. There are many forks in the road, and the peaks are high and the slopes are steep. If you fall down by mistake, it will be difficult to climb up, so you must be very careful when exploring."

There is a saying in Sichuan and Chongqing, "Unless it is 90 degrees, any degree less is a slope", and the slope here is not far from 90 degrees.

Chen Ying grabbed the branch and looked down. The cliff was deep and it was a small matter whether you could climb up after falling down. To be more precise, the important question was whether you could save your life after falling down. "How about we put two safety ropes here?"

Chen Ying gestured and it happened that among the equipment he carried was a 550 parachute rope that he had purchased at a high price, so it was no problem to make a simple safety rope.

"Not so good." Ying Bo sighed, "We don't know if it was done by a monkey or another animal, but several times we tied a safety rope here, and it wouldn't take long before we found that the rope was broken."

"Broken? Was it bitten off or ground off?"

"All of them, that's why we can't be sure which animal did it." Ying Bo spread his hands, "Based on this, we dare not put the safety rope here again, in case the rope breaks during the climbing process..."

Even though the probability is small, I dare not gamble it. I only have one chance in life and it is impossible to delete the file and start over.

Unless there is someone guarding it all the time, but the problem is, we don’t know how long it will take for them to come up, and we can’t have someone guarding it all the time, as everyone has their own research tasks to complete.

Chen Ying thought about it and decided that he should be able to solve this problem.

"Do you have a way? What way?"

"Just wait and see." Chen Ying kept it a secret.

After returning to the campsite, Chen Ying fiddled with it mysteriously for a while, and then went out for a walk alone.

At eleven o'clock at night, when everyone was getting ready to go to bed, unusual noises were heard around them.

"Oh my god, be careful, there's a bear!"

The white bear was frightened by the sound and took a few steps back. He looked carefully, then trotted around the people next to him, came to Chen Ying who was at the back, and hid his huge bear body behind Chen Ying.

His little eyes rolled around as he looked at those guys, then looked at the burning gas stove, and simply dived into Chen Ying's tent.

"Come out, you gotta come out, you're such a big mess and the tent is so small, it's going to break!"

Chen Ying, who had a smile on her face, gradually saw her smile disappear. She grabbed one of the bear's legs and tried desperately to pull it out.

However, the strength disparity between humans and bears was too great, and Chen Ying tried his best but failed to pull the bear out.

Dao Meihua watched for a while, then she rolled her eyes, took out an apple from her backpack and split it in half with a knife.

Chen Ying raised her eyebrows, took half of the apple, and took a bite next to the bear's head. "So sweet, so delicious."

"Hmm~" The white bear turned its head and looked, its little eyes lit up, and it stretched out its claws to grab Chen Ying. Chen Ying quickly left the tent, took another bite, and deliberately smacked its lips.

The white bear hesitated for a moment, but the sweet fruit was more attractive to it than the tent after all, so it quickly twisted its big butt and retreated. Then it sat down pitifully facing Chen Ying, patting its belly and making a "mmm" sound.

Dao Meihua chuckled and stuffed half of the apple in her hand into the white bear's mouth.

The white bear glanced at Chen Ying, twisted its body while holding half an apple, and started eating sideways towards him, as if preventing him from snatching his fruit.

"Oh my god, why is this bear so docile?"

The king had already recognized that this polar bear was the one that had come to report the news before, so he took a banana, peeled it, and handed it to the polar bear.

The polar bear, who had never eaten this kind of fruit, took a look at it and took a tentative bite. Hey, it was another delicious thing.

It ate the banana in a few bites, climbed up, hugged Chen Ying's legs, raised its head, and called "Oh-oh-oh" several times.

"Twolegs, I want to eat that delicious food too! Give me more, because I have a friend who wants to eat too."

Hey, you bear have friends?

The white bear rolled his eyes and shouted twice towards the woods.

Others didn't understand, but Chen Ying did. It was clearly calling "Longhair, come out and eat delicious food!"

So, is this long-haired guy the one he was thinking of?
