Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 491: The small it, the big it, the confused him

白海豚体长一般不超过2米5，最长的能到2米7，体重在250KG左右。

The average length of an adult male killer whale is eight meters, and that of a female killer whale is seven meters. Newborn killer whales are about two meters long at birth. Apart from being a little lighter, their body length is not much different from that of an adult white dolphin.

This baby killer whale has been weaned, its body length has increased to about three meters, and its weight is at least the same as that of an adult dolphin.

Chen Ying's heart skipped a beat when it hit him.

Oh my God, please don’t let any pig die!
I have to say that although he was hit head-on, the weight difference meant that Tuntun did not suffer too much damage.

What is more seriously hurt is the face.

You've seen killer whales hunt other marine life, but have you ever seen a porpoise hunt a whale? Well, this is happening right now.

Fortunately, the whale had its backers, and not long after the chase, the killer whale family came back. What a shocking thing to see, the situation instantly reversed, and it was the pig that escaped.

Watching the dolphins gradually go away, the baby killer whale and two other immature killer whales made joyful sounds and did two somersaults on the water.

The water ball that Chen Ying threw over became a new toy for the three of them. They chased the water ball and played batting games.

Chen Ying yawned, and the sleepiness came over her so strongly that tears came out.

Dao Meihua handed him a bottle of warm water and told him to drink it and go to sleep.

In the evening, everyone agreed to go back to the shore for a BBQ, and it would probably last until midnight again.

I hid in the cabin of the yacht and slept for three hours. When I woke up, I found a group of people were still playing.

So full of energy?
The larger yacht had a buffet table. Although the variety was limited, it was fresh.

Moreover, there was no hierarchy among the group of people. The crew members and diving instructors who brought them here could all go and eat whatever they wanted.

On the only flat place on the island, a few guys set up a barbecue grill and grilled oysters and scallops, which were so delicious!

We played until around four in the afternoon, cleaned up all the garbage on the island and brought it on board. Two yachts and four speedboats formed a small fleet and returned to the bay.

The beaches of these tourist attractions all have special dining and entertainment areas. In addition, the Qiao family's cultural tourism city also has high-end catering businesses. This group of people who are not short of money directly invited a chef to bring people to help prepare the evening meal, and ordered drinks and cold food and drinks from the restaurant. After a simple arrangement, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Dao Meihua knew that Chen Ying didn't like crowded places, so she didn't participate in the activities of the young people in the Yu family. She walked slowly along the beach of the bay hand in hand with Chen Ying, looking around slowly.

"My sister-in-law told me that the animals that have completed quarantine will be moved into the venue one after another starting tomorrow, but they will not be exhibited immediately. There is still a period of adaptation. During this period, you may have to keep an eye on them. In case something goes wrong, she is worried that the keepers will not be able to handle it."

"Okay, we've been eating and drinking for free for so long, it's time for us to do something. I'll go, you can have fun however you want, don't worry about me."

Dao Meihua smiled and nodded.

She only knew a little about cats, and had never come into contact with other animals. She couldn't help even if she wanted to, and might even end up getting in the way.

It just so happened that she also had to deal with some of her subordinates' businesses, so they could just go about their business for the time being. After Chen Ying was done with her business, they could go play around for a few days and then go back.

Chen Ying did not interfere with the arrangements of the zoo. He was only responsible for patrolling the park every day and would intervene proactively if he found anything wrong.

These little animals came here from thousands of miles away from abroad, and they have to be quarantined for a month. They are basically accompanied by their keepers every day. One purpose is to learn how to feed them, and the other purpose is to cultivate the relationship between the two so that they can better take care of these rare little treasures.

The animal that impressed Chen Ying the most was the sloth known as the "miserable green youth".

(A sloth so lazy that it becomes moldy)

This guy moves very slowly, and there are even records that he can stay in one place for a whole month. And his hair was originally gray-brown, but because he was too lazy to move, and because he lived in a tropical rainforest, algae grew on his hair...

As a doctor, although he understands that animals sometimes sloven their appearance in order to survive better, Chen Ying has come into contact with more cats, and most big cats are clean animals. He has never seen a sloth that allowed itself to get moldy or even infested with worms.

This miserable young man opened Chen Ying's eyes. Later, he saw a small animal moving in, and this small animal caught Chen Ying's attention.

This is a family of tarsiers.

Dad, mom, brother, and a newly born little tarsier are protected in their mother's arms.

What caught Chen Ying's attention was this little tarsier.

The Philippine tarsier has been called the "world's smallest monkey" due to its primate-like appearance, but it is actually a more primitive member of the suborder Prosimian.

They are one of the oldest continuously existing land species in the Philippines, dating back to the Early Eocene epoch 4500 million years ago.

These guys are nocturnal animals, but they are also active in the early morning and dusk. During the day, they sleep in dense vegetation or find hollow tree holes to sleep.

They are very timid, and sound is one of the factors that affect their survival, so the tarsier pavilion designed by the Yu family is soundproof, and the layout inside is designed to imitate their native habitat as much as possible.

Even the time to enter the venue was chosen to be after eight o'clock, when the sky was gradually getting dark.

"How's that little guy doing these days?"

After the breeder had settled the family down, Chen Ying went over to ask.

"Not bad, but it seems like he sleeps a lot. It could be because he's not used to the new living environment yet."

Chen Ying didn't say anything. He observed carefully for a while and frowned slightly.

The keepers knew that he was a veterinary expert specially invited by the boss, and that he had been here for quite some time. He consciously refrained from interfering with the keepers' normal work, and only made some suggestions for rectification on any inappropriate aspects.

But no one in their breeder group had ever mentioned such detailed inquiries like today, and he couldn't help but get nervous when he thought about it.

"Doctor Chen, is there any problem?"

"I'm not sure yet, but the little monkey's mental state seems to be not very good. And pay attention to its right eye. Isn't it a circle smaller than the left eye?"

The keeper looked at it carefully for a while, and even took a photo for careful comparison, and confirmed that Chen Ying had not lied to him, and that the little monkey's eyes were indeed of different sizes on the left and right.

But the gap is too small. It takes a sharp eye to notice that something is wrong at a glance!

"It's not certain whether there is a problem yet, but you need to observe it closely. It would be best if you could ask its previous keeper for more information about its previous eating and resting conditions."

Chen Ying gave some careful instructions and specifically pointed out that the monkey's spirit and appetite should be observed, and it would be best to collect some excrement samples every day for testing.

Chen Ying observed for a while before leaving for the next venue. By 10 o'clock in the evening, she had finally inspected all the animals that had been stationed.

The situation is not bad. Although there are some problems in adapting to the venue, they are all within controllable range.

Chen Ying also explained clearly to the dedicated keepers of several animals that needed special attention, including the time to feed, the amount of food, the eating time, the mental state during feeding, and other details. She even made a temporary form for the keepers to record.

"I'm so sorry to add to your workload." When Chen Ying left the last venue, he explained to the breeder who came out with him.

"These animals are all emotionally sensitive and very picky about their environment and even food. During the previous quarantine, it was easier to control them in a completely indoor venue, but now that we have an outdoor venue, there are many more uncontrollable factors."

"If we do a good job of prevention in advance, it can also reduce the workload in the future. It's just that we have to work harder during this period."

"It's okay. We rely on them for food. It's worth the hard work." The keepers smiled and comforted Chen Ying, telling her not to take it to heart.

The keeper of the tarsier did not return to the dormitory. Unlike other animals, the nocturnal tarsier is more active at night. On the first day of their move in, he had to keep watch all night to feel at ease.

He works the night shift to look after the baby monkeys, while another keeper is in charge during the day. The two of them take turns working the night shift for one month each.

He made himself a pot of tea and ate something, then ran to the surveillance screen with his notebook.

The little babies are afraid of people and noises, so he can only rely on cameras to observe their situation.

He wrote down everything Chen Ying said to him, and the focus of observation tonight was the little baby.

After watching for about an hour, the keeper yawned, stood up and stretched out.

Just as he was twisting his waist and buttocks towards the screen, he noticed that the little monkey on the screen raised its paw to rub its eyes, as if it was uncomfortable, and then rubbed its little face against its mother.

This behavior occurs every ten minutes or so. Even when its mother calls it to drink milk, it will not drink. It always leans against its mother listlessly and rubs against her.

At this time, its brother, a big-eyed cute monkey jumped over and stretched out his claws towards the little baby.

The little baby seemed to want to play with his brother. He stretched out his little paw towards his brother, but the next moment, his uncomfortable eye made him cry out in pain, and he accidentally fell down.

The breeder was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat and quickly ran out to the field.

Chen Ying had just walked to the zoo entrance, hesitating whether to go to the turtle area first or go back to the hotel to rest, when she received a call from the tarsier keeper.

"Doctor Chen, the little monkey fell under the tree. I have cushioned it with a towel, but I dare not move it."

Chen Ying ran back without saying a word, with a speed that was good enough for him to participate in international sprint competitions.

When I rushed back to the tarsier house, another keeper came over after receiving the notification.

Chen Ying briefly checked the monkey's body and confirmed that its bones were not injured, but there were slight scratches on its body. The most important thing was its eyes, and the area around its eye sockets was obviously red and swollen.

The tarsier father and mother were very scared. They held on to their eldest son's arms tightly. The three of them huddled on a tree and could be seen trembling.

But even though they were so scared, they did not abandon their youngest son and leave.

Chen Ying asked the keeper to send the little monkey to the veterinary station first, and he went to comfort the three big monkeys before going. Another keeper who was supposed to rest stayed to monitor the surveillance and wait for his colleagues to come back from work before going back to rest.

"Your son's eyesight is a little bad. I'll take him over for a checkup and I'll return him soon. Don't worry."

Chen Ying asked the replacement keeper to bring some food that the tarsiers liked to appease them, and then she turned around and ran to the veterinary station again.

The veterinarian over there had already started examining the little guy, but he was so scared that he kept shaking and making tiny cries.

When Chen Ying arrived, it actually broke free from the fingers of the others, jumped into Chen Ying's arms, and hid itself in his white coat.

Chen Ying was not in a hurry to catch it out. Instead, she stroked its fur through her clothes and gently stroked its back to calm it down.

A few minutes later, the little monkey had calmed down, and only then did Chen Ying reach out and take it out.

The little monkey lay in the palm of his hand, looking at him pitifully.

The examination was very simple. Within an hour, all the tests were completed. In the end, it was confirmed that it was just a common infection. It was very likely that unclean water or something else entered the eye and caused the inflammation.

This situation can be solved by simply instilling eye wash and eye drops on time.

Chen Ying felt a little more relaxed. This was his first time treating such a little creature, and he was afraid that his lack of experience would cause the little guy to suffer more.

After personally demonstrating how to wash the little guy's eyes and put eye drops in, Chen Ying wanted to return it to the breeder, but the little guy held onto his finger and refused to go down.

There was no other way, Chen Ying could only send it back personally. At least after it reached its mother, it wouldn't want to follow him again.

Sure enough, the little guy still loves his mother more.

The mother monkey hugged her baby son tightly after she got him back, and even held him in her mouth, then crawled to a more secluded place, sat down and hugged him.

Chen Ying looked at the male tarsier and the monkey brother beside him, picked up the potion in his hand and let them sniff it, "This is medicine for its eyes. You can't let it hide. It has to be cured so that it can live well."

The expressions on the faces of the two keepers nearby were indescribable. After all, they themselves would sometimes do the same as Chen Ying and treat the little creatures they were taking care of as humans with whom they could communicate.

Back in the office, Chen Ying still asked them to be more careful. After all, in an outdoor environment, they couldn't keep an eye on the little baby all the time, so they could only try to pay more attention to him.

This time I finally left the zoo area smoothly. I looked at my phone and it was past twelve o'clock, and there were several missed calls.

There were calls from Dao Meihua, and a few unfamiliar numbers.

He was just about to call Dao Meihua back when he saw an electric vehicle for scenic area transportation driving over. Dao Meihua jumped out and ran towards him before the vehicle stopped.

Chen Ying's expression instantly became tense, and she yelled at Dao Meihua, "Be careful, wait until the car stops..."

"Brother Ying, come with me to the Coast Guard. I need your help with something."

Dao Meihua ran over, pulled him into the car, and then explained the situation to him.

"Rescue people? Going to the sea to rescue people at night?" Chen Ying pointed at herself, "I'm afraid I can't swim well enough to help."

"Who asked you to go? I wanted you to ask the killer whale for help!"

So, now there is no cover-up?
