Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 464: Protecting Mom is the Beast's Responsibility

The elderly mother panda arrived after Chen Ying left. She broke directly into the first aid station and lay under the wooden frame. She did not look well.

Originally, Uncle Tiger wanted to fight with it, but fortunately Sister Leopard recognized the opponent.

That’s right, this elderly pregnant woman is the mother of Munduner and Dabai.

In the panda world, being in your early twenties is considered old. Captive giant pandas may be able to give birth in their twenties, but in the wild, it is considered lucky if they can live to their twenties and die of old age. Giving birth at an advanced age is too dangerous for them.

When Xia Sen saw Sister Leopard standing in front of the giant panda and baring her teeth towards the other animals, he knew that this big guy must be a familiar customer.

He couldn't quite tell the identities of these giant pandas, but he knew that the fact that they could find their way here meant that the giant pandas themselves felt they needed help from humans.

As soon as the phone call was made, the Pandaman almost teleported over.

Drawing blood, checking biological samples...a series of actions were successfully completed with the help of Sister Leopard.

The first aid station originally had a panda delivery room. After learning that the elderly giant panda was pregnant, Professor Bai immediately had the previous panda delivery room set up and installed surveillance and alarms.

The panda people want to move elderly panda mothers to live in the center, where the conditions are much better and there are 24-hour staff to take care of them.

But the mother panda was not happy and decided to go to the first aid station.

What else can they do? They have to quickly arrange people to take shifts at the first aid station.

Although most giant pandas choose to give birth in August, this mother panda seems to be showing signs of giving birth early.

It is almost the end of June now, and if nothing goes wrong, it may be produced in mid-to-late July.

This is also one of the reasons why Professor Bai did not call Chen Ying to come back early, as there should still be enough time.

However, the giant panda mother's behavior affected Chen Ying's planned trip to Gaoligong Mountain.

In any case, they will wait until the panda mother gives birth safely before traveling.

Not to mention that it is difficult for pandas to give birth, this giant panda is over 20 years old, so the entire pregnancy and delivery process can only be doubly difficult.

After hearing what the teacher said, Chen Ying almost rushed back to the first aid station overnight. Fortunately, his teacher's wife spoke up. It wouldn't be a big deal to spend one more night there. He might as well have a good discussion with his teacher and other experts tonight to work out a mature care plan.

The light in Chen Ying's room was never turned off that night.

After breakfast, Chen Ying went into the mountains carrying a large backpack.

The village paid for the construction of a small road from Xiaozhai Village to the first aid station.

However, the end of this road is on the west side of Laoxionggou, and to go further east you need to cross Laoxionggou.

You can't walk here when the water level is high in the summer because all the stone piers in the river where you can stand are submerged by water.

The water level in June was relatively stable. There had been no rain in the mountains, and the water level was almost level with the surface of the stone piers. If you were quick, you could jump over it.

When passing Laoxionggou, Chen Ying also saw a street kid sitting on the ditch on the east side eating.

I haven't seen him for a while, and it seems like he has gained weight again.

I said hello to the street kid and was about to ask where the little girl bear had gone when I saw a black bear and a bear cub coming over to the west to play in the water.

This bear cub is the one that was previously given to the little girl bear to take care of. It looks very good, and the moon mark on its chest is very similar to that of the street cub. Without checking the DNA, it can almost be said to be a one-to-one replica of the street cub's appearance.

Perhaps it was this reason that made the street urchin and the little bear girl treat the bear cub as if it were the apple of their eye, for they were afraid that it would suffer any injustice.

Fortunately, the little bear cub is not a troublemaker. He likes to play a little, but he knows his limits. His biggest hobby is to climb the wall into the bear park and play with an old moon bear.

There was even one time when he wanted to carry the old moon bear out of the bear park.

For this purpose, the bear park opened a back door in the back garden for the little girl bear and her family. As long as the surveillance camera detects that they have arrived, the electronic door will be opened to allow them to enter and exit freely.

The old moon bear also went out for a walk, but after years of being confined, it was very timid and came back after walking less than 200 meters.

There is a shallow stream next to the bear park, and the living water in the pond inside the bear park is also drained from the shallow stream.

The volunteers discussed with the young people of Xiaozhai Village and built three paddling pools on both sides of the shallow stream in the woods behind the bear park. Occasionally, when the bears in the bear park want to go out and play, these three paddling pools can allow them to enjoy the novelty of the whole day.

Sometimes wild bears appear here, but they don’t stay for too long. They just play around and then leave.

The uneaten food such as wild fruits they brought with them were effectively reused, allowing the bears in the bear park to experience the original taste from the wild.

After chatting with the little bear girl for a while and giving it and the cub a physical examination, he was anxious to leave.

"Is it the black and white bear you have?" The little girl bear sat obediently with her hands on her knees. "It's fine, just a little tired in the past few days. I went to see it yesterday, and it's fine, don't worry."

The way the little bear girl comforted him gently touched Chen Ying's heart. He couldn't help but hold the little bear girl's head and give her a hard "mua". The street kid next to him was unhappy and tried to pull him away, howling.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving now. You play with them. Come over when you're free in the evening. I've brought you some dried fruits that are specialties from Hubei Province. The boss picked and baked them himself. There's absolutely no high-tech involved."

After saying goodbye, Chen Ying hurriedly left with her bag on her back.

When we got back to the first aid station, we saw two panda men standing outside talking to Xia Sen.

"Teacher Fan, are you here to check on the mother panda?"

"Come and take a look, and bring up some nutritional supplements."

Teacher Fan is the leader of the elderly giant panda group and is responsible for taking care of the elderly cats in the center.

"The test results of the blood and biological samples collected the day before yesterday are out. There may be two cubs in its belly." Teacher Fan was smiling, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"After testing, it was determined that it was 23 years old. It is rare for a wild giant panda of this age to be pregnant and give birth. After all, the conditions in the wild would have a negative impact on the mother panda. The twins also put more pressure on it, which is probably why it took the initiative to seek help."

There is not much they can do now, they can only try their best to provide the panda mother with sufficient nutrition and careful care.

Even the old tiger took the initiative to give up his resting place and ran to the cave where the mother tiger had raised her cubs.

Fortunately, the research station in Laobeigou had not been evacuated yet. After learning about the situation here, they took the initiative to assign two investigators to help take care of Uncle Hu.

After saying hello to Teacher Fan, Chen Ying quickly entered the woods of the first aid station.

As soon as we entered, we saw the mother giant panda leaning against a wooden pillar, eating desperately.

After all, as they get older, their fur isn't as smooth and shiny as that of young cats.

After it finished eating the bamboo shoots, it looked up and saw Chen Ying, and raised its paw to greet him.

After throwing the bag on the first-floor platform, Chen Ying washed her hands and came over to check on the mother giant panda's health.

Although he had the detailed data, he felt it would be more reassuring if he checked it again himself.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Will eating something make you feel better?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable. My teeth hurt a little, and my paws hurt. My stomach is fine, but I still feel uncomfortable."

The giant panda mother leaned sideways in Chen Ying's arms and sighed.

"Let me take a look at your claws. Did the nail dig into your flesh? Can I fix it for you?"

"No, it just hurts. It hurts when it touches the ground."

It raised its hind paws to show Chen Ying.

Chen Ying carefully examined it and found a hard spot on the back of her foot. Because the color of the sole was darker, she couldn't tell what the cause was.

"Mengmeng, bring me my medical kit and a surgical kit."

Mengmeng, who was standing on the first floor, immediately ran over with a medical box upon hearing this.

"Surgical kit open now?"

"Yes, stand a little to the side. I'll take a look at its hind paw. It seems there is something there."

This situation is normal. It may be because you stepped on a stone or a wood splinter was not treated, causing inflammation inside, but the outer epidermis looks intact.

Hearing Chen Ying's words, Meng Meng hurriedly ran up and took down another anesthetic.

This can be applied externally to prevent the wound from being unbearably painful.

After carefully touching the hard spot and making some guesses in his mind, he used a scalpel to gently make a small cut, less than half a centimeter in size.

After the incision was made, smelly pus indeed flowed out. Fortunately, the condition had not developed to a very serious level.

He was dealing with the giant panda mother's paw problem, while Teacher Fan, his team members and Xia Sen were watching not far away.

"Is there something wrong with this giant panda's paw? We didn't even notice it." Teacher Fan frowned. "It seems we were not careful enough. If Dr. Chen hadn't come back, would it have had to endure the pain forever?"

Xia Sen pursed his lips and said nothing, and the air suddenly became stagnant.

"It is indeed a small stone." Chen Ying threw the small stone she picked out into the instrument tray. The small "ding" sound made everyone's heart tighten.

After carefully cleaning the affected area again, Chen Ying cleaned the hair and dandruff around the sole of her foot, and finally applied some medicine and put on a sealing patch.

I guess this seal will be removed before tonight.

As for the toothache, Chen Ying examined it and found it to be a common symptom among elderly pandas.

You can only ask a dentist to see if there is any way to relieve the toothache symptoms.

After taking careful photos and short videos of the giant panda mother's oral cavity, Chen Ying gave them to a dentist she had worked with before and asked him to take a look. Then, she began to massage the giant panda mother's body.

As an orthopedic doctor, he has his own way of massaging people and also his own way of massaging animals.

The panda mother, who was humming with joy after receiving his massage, had a rare good sleep.

"I won't be going out for a while when I come back this time, at least until she gives birth."

"There should be no problem with the external environment. As for food, I have arranged for Xiaoxia to prepare it for the mother panda. Xiaoxia, you need to be more careful. As for the dietary ratio, you are an expert, so I will not give you any random advice. If you need the center to cooperate with anything, just tell us directly."

A wild giant panda gave birth to a baby at an advanced age and also took the initiative to ask humans for help.

The news has spread like wildfire, and some traffic media are already trying to get into the emergency station. What they have to do now is to try their best to control these people from coming to disturb the life of the giant panda mother.

"The conservation bureau and the local police station have jointly set up checkpoints to prevent vehicles from entering the mountain road. But we can't prevent others from trying to get here, so you should also be careful and call the police in time if there is any problem."

This is the trouble of not giving birth at the center. With the center's strict security system, those people simply cannot get close to the closed campus.

"It's okay. We should be able to prevent them from disturbing us." Chen Ying looked up at Xia Sen with a meaningful look.
