Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 485 Brother Monkey, why are you so unruly?
"These were introduced by the local zoo." Xia Sen came back from a walk and whispered to Chen Ying, "It's not easy to run a local zoo now. The country has raised a lot of requirements for imported animals, and there are also regulatory measures. If you want to continue to develop, you have to create celebrity animals. The four monkeys in this car are the key animals introduced by the zoo this time."

I didn't expect such an accident to happen. No wonder the zoo managers looked so unhappy.

Chen Ying helped to place the raccoon dog and the fox in the compartment of another car. A thermal blanket was placed on the cage, which was not as effective as a closed vehicle, but for a temporarily mobilized vehicle, the preparations were considered to be as thorough as possible.

"Director Qi, the condition of this male gray leaf monkey may not be very good. He may need surgery."

Chen Ying's preliminary examination results showed that her thoracic vertebrae were broken and pierced into her lungs, and she also had a severe concussion, so she would definitely need surgery.

Director Qi forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.

"Okay, if you need our cooperation, we will definitely provide it."

"I don't think you will need to provide any supplies. This is a routine operation, but there may still be uncontrollable situations. The medical assistant will explain the details to you. We will take the patient back for further treatment."

This place is not far from the rescue center, about seven kilometers away. If you drive normally and control your speed, you can get there in ten minutes.

Director Qi asked a colleague to go to the rescue center to deal with the medical issues. Others also needed to cooperate with the traffic police team and the hospital to deal with the car accident and the injured.

On the way to the rescue center, Xia Sen whispered, "Director Qi is pretty good. I checked online. Their zoo only charges five yuan for tickets. There are twelve employees in total who have to take care of more than sixty animals, as well as various facilities and equipment in the park. Their animals are well cared for. More than a third of them are in their old age and have plump bodies. They are not like some small zoos where the animals are starving to the point of being skin and bones."

He also recited a few comments from netizens, all of whom said that at least four and a half dollars of the five-dollar ticket price was spent on food for the animals.

"All their animal enrichment facilities were made by themselves from waste materials, just to save some money and feed the animals better. They even installed two heaters specifically for these monkeys. But when it rains it pours, and they got into a car accident, people got hurt, and animals got hurt too."

Chen Ying frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "Tell the zoo staff member later and ask him to contact the traffic police team to see if they can post this matter on the zoo's official account. Don't stir up trouble. The theme should be to pray for the driver, escort, and animals. Then we will send them the video of the entire treatment process and ask them to edit it. After that, we will do a series of updates during the recovery period to see if we can attract some attention."

In the age of traffic, this kind of self-improvement topic, which comes with cute pets, is definitely the only way to attract traffic.

Xia Sen was very fast. No one knew when he added the people from the zoo as friends. As soon as Chen Ying finished speaking, he conveyed the exact words to the zoo.

The troubled Director Qi was stopped by the logistics director who was traveling with him. After showing him the message sent by Xia Sen on his mobile phone, Director Qi suddenly calmed down.

"This year, we recruited two new college students who were born in the 2000s. Let them handle this matter and convey Dr. Xia's words to them. Since they are all young people, communication may be smoother."

The director nodded and did what he said.

"Brother Ying, the test results are out, and the situation is better than expected, but surgery still needs to be performed immediately. There is a bone spur inserted in the right lung, and the damage needs to be repaired."

The CT scan showed obvious signs and the diagnosis was clear. Surgery was needed as soon as possible to remove the bone spur and repair the lung injury, followed by spinal canal decompression and internal fixation.

Professor Bai also got the news and asked his eldest daughter to drive him to the center to assist Chen Ying.

He is old and cannot handle frontline surgeries as well as Chen Ying, but he is totally capable of diagnosing other animals.

After learning the whole situation from Xia Sen, Professor Bai also agreed with Chen Ying's arrangement.

He signaled the staff at the center to start recording the video from the beginning of his diagnosis, and to show him the subsequent editing results first.

If an outsider does not have a particularly good understanding of the situation, a word or a poorly edited scene can easily lead to bad comments.

For a grassroots zoo, bad reviews are quite fatal.

The operation was over after three hours and everything went smoothly.

The big monkey woke up more than half an hour after the operation, and was then given an appropriate amount of sedatives to allow it to sleep peacefully and prevent the wound that had just been sutured from splitting open during the struggle.

The two sub-adult gray langurs were in good condition. It was probably because they bumped into their father during the collision, which caused the adult male gray langur to be seriously injured while the two of them were unharmed.

The other female gray leaf monkey was not the mother of the sub-adult monkey. It happened to be huddled in a corner when the collision occurred. It only had a fractured little finger bone on its right upper limb, which has been treated and fixed.

"The zoo used to have gray leaf monkeys, but the adult female monkey died two years ago because she was too old. The other female monkeys are all daughters of male gray leaf monkeys. In order to avoid inbreeding, this animal exchange took place."

"That's fine. Although these two sub-adult males are not yet sexually mature, they won't have to wait too long. In another year or two, they will be able to reproduce with other female monkeys in the group."

The problem of the gray langur population was solved, and the next thing to do was to check on the two raccoon dogs. Miraculously, they were unharmed and were loaded directly into the truck after inspection to be sent away with the other three monkeys.

As for the two foxes, their hind limbs are both broken and they need follow-up treatment. It is estimated that they will have to wait at least one to two weeks before they can return to the zoo for further feeding.

There is another episode here.

In October, the center rescued a little fox that had been separated from its mother. The fox was the same species as the two injured ones, a soft and cute little fox girl.

When the little guy was found, he was starving to death, and his health never recovered well.

Although it is attending the center's animal kindergarten, it still lives in the canine hall. This arrangement is to allow it to learn what it needs to learn from other rescued foxes.

So far, the effect is not very good.

This little guy was born in the hands of humans. Unlike other animals that were able to eat independently when they were rescued, it could only drink milk at that time.

You can't expect a fox cub to run to other places to find milk, so it has been growing up in the arms of humans since it was young. To put it simply, it is now like a pet dog raised by humans, except that it is a fox.

It is unlikely that such little guys will be able to return to the wild in the future.

The report on its placement has been submitted, and we just need to wait until the right time to send it to a zoo that can feed it.

This time, because the two injured foxes were a couple and had relatively docile personalities, they were placed directly next to the cage of the fox cubs.

They thought that the little fox cub was soft-hearted and loved to act coquettishly, and if he learned more from his elders, he might become more independent.

However, the people at the center did not know that these two foxes had previously given birth to a litter of cubs, and at this time, less than a month had passed since the cubs left them.

After seeing the fox cub that was as soft as a piece of marshmallow, the mother fox's remaining maternal instinct emerged again. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick the fox cub's forehead through the cage.

At that moment, the fox cub's whole body was stiff.

"Oh, this is mom? Are you my mom?"

The little fox's baby voice asked, which stunned the mother fox who had to lie on the ground because of her injury.

The denial was forced down her throat when she saw the fox cub's innocent yet clear eyes. "Yes, yes, I am your mother."

The little fox's eyes lit up when he heard this. He struggled to squeeze through the iron railings, ran to the mother fox, and sniffed her carefully.

"I, I have memorized my mother's smell. From now on, I will never get lost with her again!"

The little fox cub, who was raised to be very innocent and a little heartless, thought about it and tried to squeeze out again.

It knows where the most delicious snacks are, and it wants to get them for its mother!
The male fox on the other side looked at the interaction between his wife and the cub, tilted his head slightly, and a big question mark appeared in his mind.

As a male, it naturally has no maternal instincts, and it is very sure that the little fox cub is not its child, so it is impossible for it to have any fatherly love for the cub.

However, the male fox was a good husband who loved his wife very much. Before his wife showed any resistance, he chose to watch silently.

Now that the cub had left, it called out softly a few times, asking its wife what was going on.

What happened? The mother fox didn't know, but she just liked the cub and naturally thought it would be great if it was her own child!
Although he didn't understand what his wife wanted to express, the male fox respected her choice.

Anyway, the fox is actually quite good and doesn't have the urge to bite to death any child that is not its own.

A few minutes later, the kid came running over dragging a bag of frozen pet food.

The bag was not closed properly, and the liquid spilled as it ran. By the time it reached the female fox, it was estimated that at least one-third of the liquid had spilled out.

"Mom, eat this. It's delicious." The little cub jumped and urged the mother fox to eat the freeze-dried food.

Before the female fox started moving, she heard the voice of the two-legged beast.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, why are you running away? Are you here to feed Aunt Fox?"

They couldn't quite understand what the keeper was saying, but they could hear the happiness and kindness in his tone.

The keeper picked up the scattered freeze-dried particles, put them on a plate, and then stuffed them into the iron cages of the two foxes.

Although he couldn't stand due to broken hind limbs, he was still able to turn his body over.

As artificially bred foxes that have been kept in captivity since birth, the two adult foxes are not as resistant to human approach as wild foxes.

The keeper didn't let them eat too much. After pouring some food out of the bag, he put chicken and rabbit meat, which the foxes liked, in another food bowl.

After finishing, he slightly adjusted the angle of the camera and the keeper left with peace of mind.

Jiaojiao can even go to the ingredient room to steal freeze-dried food to feed the big fox, so they must have a good relationship.

Sure enough, a colleague in the monitoring room said through the headset that after eating a few freeze-dried pills, the female fox hugged Jiaojiao and licked its fur all over.

Being licked by parents is the most important way for animal cubs to gain a sense of security and parental care.

Artificially raised little foxes do not lack love and care, but they cannot feel the care and love of their elders, which has a great impact on their personality and behavior.

"The clip of stealing freeze-dried food can be sent to the zoo so they can edit it and release it."

The rescue center will release a compilation every month, which is equivalent to a monthly work summary report.

Each rescued animal has a name or number and a separate medical record. When the placement is determined, their medical records and rescue details will be handed over to the new receiving unit along with the individual.

"Report this to your boss. If the three foxes get along well, I think it's entirely possible for them to live together. When the cubs grow up, we can either recruit a son-in-law for them or exchange them out."

On the other side, Chen Ying, who had been guarding the monkey for a whole day, couldn't bear it anymore and went to the dormitory to take a nap. When he returned to the observation room at 8:30 in the evening, the monkey had just woken up.

The monkey, who was a little stressed, weakly grabbed Chen Ying's fingers after being comforted by his head pat.

Similar to foxes, this litter of gray langurs were also artificially bred and exhibited. They were not averse to human approach, but being so dependent on them as they were at this moment was something that a breeder who was not familiar with them could not do.

"Brother Ying, Director Qi called and said that the former keeper of these four monkeys has arrived at the zoo. He wanted to come over to see them, but the three monkeys are holding on to them and he may not be able to come. We are watching them and can't comfort them. How about you stay for two more days and help us get familiar with them before leaving?"

With such a serious injury, it will have to stay here for at least a month, and it must lie in bed and not move around freely in the first few days, so it needs close care from the breeder.

Without establishing a harmonious coexistence relationship, it is difficult to control the spontaneous actions of monkeys.

"It may be difficult for me to stay here, as I have animals to take care of up there. Let me pick it up if it's possible, and let it rest at the station."

The care station has adequate medical facilities and sufficient staff, and the environment is better and more suitable for its recuperation than at the center.

After communicating with the center and the zoo, Chen Ying planned to stay here until the monkey's stitches were removed and then take it back to the mountain to recuperate.

The monkey park at the management station would occasionally house one or two accidentally injured monkeys, so the recovery medicines and equipment needed by various monkeys were fully equipped.

Mengmeng is also an experienced animal nurse. With her and Xia Sen taking care of the animal together, the recovery time may be shortened.

The male gray leaf monkey was happiest when he was carried back to the mountain by Chen Ying. But soon after, several big cats suddenly appeared next to its monkey park, causing the monkey to turn into a crying monster. He grabbed Chen Ying's clothes and wanted to bury himself in his arms.

However, the more it did this, the thicker the murderous aura around it became.

Monkey Brother is a smart kid after all. After a week, he found a real backer for himself.

"Squeak, Grandpa Tiger, do you feel comfortable?"

Monkey brother, who dragged his sick body to massage and comb the hair of Uncle Tiger, was humbly yet showed a bit of majesty of the monkey relying on the power of the tiger. He even dared to glance at Leopard brother and Leopard sister.

In the monitoring room, the young man at the nursing station laughed so hard that he slapped the table and turned his head to look at Chen Ying who was writing a medical record next to him.

"Brother Ying, how did you come up with the idea of ​​sending Uncle Tiger to the monkey house? Originally, this monkey relied on the fact that he was a patient and no one except you could get close to him. But when Uncle Tiger came, this guy immediately became obedient. It's ingrained in his bones that he bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Chen Ying smiled but did not answer.
