Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 520 What should the giant panda cub born on the first day of the first lunar month be called?
On the second day after the heavy snow, the clouded leopard shook off the ice crystals on its whiskers, exhaled gently, and turned into a puff of white mist and dispersed. Its amber pupils reflected the white woods.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow for three consecutive days. The mountain goats all hid in the leeward valleys, and the rat strips that were usually easily accessible on the trees were nowhere to be found.

The rumbling of hungry intestines mixed with the howling north wind drove it to step on the soft snow and sneak towards the orange lights at the foot of the mountain.

Originally it could have gone to the first aid station to beg for food, but a few months ago, it had a big fight with the ridiculously fat cat. It mocked the other party as a domesticated pet, while the fat cat mocked it as a barbaric and inflexible fool.

Now when it comes to the door to look for food, it always feels like it has admitted defeat.

The clouded leopard sneaked into the village quietly, but as soon as it approached the chicken coop, it startled the geese in the yard.

The fighting power of the farm geese is unquestionable. These geese usually roam the village majestically. When they see anyone provoking them, no matter if they are adults or children, they will rush up and fight. At this moment, they are even screaming at the top of their lungs, sounding a strong attack alarm to the intruders.

The dogs in the village heard the noise and came running over barking.

The clouded leopard rushed into the chicken coop like lightning, and was about to escape with a fat old hen in its mouth, but the leading gander pecked it hard on the butt.

In the moment of hesitation due to pain, the clouded leopard was surrounded by a group of angry geese and dogs.

It dodged left and right, trying to break out of the encirclement, but was chased and bitten by the geese and dogs. It was not injured but looked quite miserable.

However, the clouded leopard is, after all, a top predator known as the "little saber-toothed tiger". In the outnumbered confrontation, it still easily bit two geese to death, then dragged the fat bodies of the geese up the tree. Even though the dogs were barking under the tree, it leisurely began to enjoy its meal.

All of this is what the police station saw when they retrieved the video footage, with a little imagination added in as well.

After packaging the records and sending them to the work group, the police called Chen Ying.

"The clouded leopard must have escaped, but it dragged away the goose it had bitten to death. We have already arranged for people to send notices to all villages, and notify the rescue center if they find it."

"We guess that this big cat must have come down from Jiamugou Mountain, so we would like to trouble Doctor Chen to pay more attention to it."

The police officer's words confirmed Chen Ying's previous guess that the big cat that scared away Meidi was the unruly clouded leopard that always liked to fight with the golden cats.

In fact, many management stations have set up winter feeding points within their jurisdictions.

Of course, there are more feeding points set up for birds.

However, because there are a large number of animals in the jurisdiction of the Jiamugou Management Station, they have set up a total of 8 points, 6 for animals and 2 for birds.

In addition, the Bird Research Institute has set up 10 bird feeding points at altitudes between and meters. Therefore, not too many animals in Jiamugou will starve to death during this heavy snow.

As for the clouded leopard being so hungry that it had to steal food from a farmer's house, it was simply because it was too embarrassed to do so.

Chen Ying could imagine what happened next as the clouded leopard scared away the forest cat.

It must be a clouded leopard that had filled its stomach and was about to return to the mountain. When passing by a small forest, it spotted the cute little one taking photos with its owner and his friends.

The clouded leopard was full of curiosity about this little creature that it had never seen before, and quietly moved over to take a look.

Unexpectedly, this curious behavior frightened the Norwegian Forest Cat. In a panic, it ran away from its owner and his friends, and completely lost its way in the vast snow forest. Finally, it accidentally ran to the management station and was successfully rescued.

The owner of this Norwegian Forest Cat is a foreigner named Klas.

He is a well-known veterinarian abroad and loves his pet cat very much. This time he came to the oriental country for a trip. In order to bring his little baby with him, he drove here and even specially processed the necessary documents for the little baby.

When the little baby Medi ran away, Klaus was extremely anxious and searched everywhere around the village for her, but couldn't find even a trace of her. Finally, it was the owner of the B&B who suggested that he call the police directly.

Kras and his friend were taken up the mountain by the police, and finally reunited with his baby. But what he didn't expect was that his baby was unwilling to follow him!
"Meddie, oh my baby, you can't do this to me!" The big man Klaus shed tears, "I know I was wrong, I will never let you face such danger again, forgive me, Meddie!"

While he was crying bitterly, everyone at the maintenance station, led by Chen Ying, looked at him silently with shocked expressions.

This man really sheds tears (￣口￣)!!
By the time Klas and Maddie reconciled, more than three hours had passed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Klaus prepared to take Medi and his friends down the mountain.

When he went up the mountain, he asked the police about Chen Ying's identity. After learning that he was a rescue veterinarian at the Jiamugou First Aid Station, he had already thought about how to repay Chen Ying.

Klas is a veterinarian and is well-known in the Nordic circle. The College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the university where he studies is highly ranked internationally, providing students with high-quality educational resources and research environment.

Knowing that Chen Ying was also a veterinarian, he wanted to teach Chen Ying some medical skills to show his gratitude. Based on his understanding of the East, veterinary medicine in this country still has a lot of room for improvement.

And he lives in a country that is an international leader in basic research on animal diseases and in the development of new diagnostic technologies and treatments.

In contrast, although scientific research in China has developed rapidly in recent years and achieved remarkable results in some fields, the overall investment in scientific research is not much. Moreover, there is still a certain gap between the number of high-end scientific research talents and the depth and breadth of international cooperation and those of his country.

Only in the field of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine does China have unique advantages, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Professor Everett is willing to maintain friendly exchanges with Chen Ying.

There is another important factor. Because our country has a vast territory, there is a big gap between urban and rural areas. Even between cities there is a big gap. Jiamugou is located in a relatively remote inland area. So in Klas's opinion, Chen Ying's skills should not be very good.

Chen Ying did not refuse the technical exchange proposed by Kraas.

For the next two days, Klas and his little baby Medi stayed in the dormitory of the management station and communicated with the baby's care team.

During the communication, Klass was surprised to find that Chen Ying's medical skills were even better than he had imagined. Moreover, when Chen Ying mentioned that she had communicated and learned with Everett, Klass was so shocked that he was speechless. Because Everett was his teacher's teacher and was well-known in the veterinary field.

This wonderful fate gave Klaus a new idea.

His teacher is carrying out a significant "Spanish lynx breeding" project.

The Spanish lynx, also known as the Iberian lynx, is the largest cat species in Europe and is considered by biologists to be one of the world's smallest cat species. The World Conservation Union lists the Spanish lynx as one of the three most endangered cat species in the world. This lynx is only found in Toafe National Park and Sierra Morena in southern Spain, with an isolated population in each of these two places, with a total of less than 3 individuals.

This lynx is currently strictly protected, but the related breeding work is fraught with difficulties.

After communicating with his teacher, Klass strongly invited Chen Ying to join their research team. With Chen Ying's strong attraction to cats and his various magical legends, they might be able to bring new breakthroughs to their currently deadlocked research work.

Chen Ying had not originally planned to join Professor Kras's research team. After all, their research objectives were single, and he himself was more focused on treatment.

But after receiving Professor Everett's video that evening, Chen Ying changed her mind. There was nothing she could do, as Professor Krass's research institute was located at one of the top veterinary universities abroad, and Professor Everett meant to recommend Chen Ying to pursue a doctorate degree at that university.

If you can join Professor Kraas's team, you will basically have no problem getting admitted. If you can make significant contributions to the research, not only will you get your doctorate degree in minutes, but you will also gain fame in the international circle.

This fame is of little use to ordinary people, but if Chen Ying can break into the top circle of this industry, it will have some promoting effect on domestic veterinary medicine and animal science.

Professor Bai also strongly supported him to go out and explore. Jiamugou was too small, and even if the Heyuan Wasteland was included, there were not many places where Chen Ying could display his strength.

In the past, helping people treat their pets only earned him some fame in certain circles, but in the real top circles, Chen Ying was still unknown.

The Spanish lynx breeding project is a great opportunity, and it must be said that Chen Ying has a bit of metaphysics. Just look at the animals around him, and you can see that the cubs are born in litters, and all of them are doing well. In the wildlife community, the reputation of Jiamugou as a natural delivery room is real. Haven't you seen so many female animals come here to give birth?

There is a less certain rumor that cubs born in Jiamugou will become stronger and have better genes than their parents in the future.

It is hard to tell whether it is true or not for now, but scientific exploration data show that the number of female animals in the Jiamugou area in the past two years is more than in the previous five years, and the number of cubs born is also showing an upward curve.

Even the South China tiger, which had been declared extinct in the wild, has reappeared. Currently, the work of releasing wild mother tigers and artificially bred cubs into the wild is going extremely smoothly. If this virtuous cycle continues, the roar of tigers may be heard again in the mountains of the south in ten years.

Not to mention the South China tiger, even the small one-horned rhino was found by Chen Ying. It is normal for some foreign teams to target Chen Ying.

There are even rumors that some bounty hunters want Chen Ying to join them in finding rare animals for profit.

As a good comrade with a good family background, Chen Ying would definitely not deal with people in the black market, so cooperating with the official team is the best choice.

Thanks to Kraas' lobbying and Professor Bai's encouragement, Chen Ying finally agreed to Professor Everett's recommendation and applied to study for a doctorate degree at Kraas's alma mater. She also agreed to join the "Spanish Lynx Breeding Research" team.

Universities abroad all start classes in the spring, so there isn't much time left. With a well-known professor helping with the application and related matters, all Chen Ying has to do is to finalize the third-stage treatment plan for Xiaozai before leaving, and to watch Jiaojiao give birth to the baby.

That's right, Jiaojiao's child was born around the Spring Festival. During this period, Qin Dad and the Panda Team were almost anxious.

After three consecutive days of heavy snow, the temperature dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. Even though the artificial nests had insulation panels pre-installed, the nests had no doors and cold air would still rush into the rooms.

If the beautiful weather allows for the birth of a panda cub, can it really survive?

Klas originally wanted to persuade Chen Ying to leave with him, but after hearing that a giant panda gave birth out of season, he also became anxious.

As a backbone of an animal breeding team, even though the animal that only needed to give birth to cubs was not his research target, Klaus couldn't help but feel nervous and even took the initiative to provide many ideas for the Panda team's reference.

Chen Ying was also keeping an eye on Jiaojiao all the time. He had made up his mind that if Jiaojiao was about to give birth before the weather warmed up, he would force her to go back to the emergency station to give birth.

Fortunately, God was kind. About half a month before the New Year, the temperature began to rise, with the lowest temperature stabilizing at around 7 or 8 degrees, and the highest temperature during the day at around 15 degrees. Although it was still cold, it was much warmer than before.

While Jiaojiao was out for dinner, Chen Ying added some warm things to the artificial nest.

On New Year's Eve, Jiaojiao started to have an attack. The whole bear rolled around in the nest in a restless state, and the wood blocks prepared by Chen Ying were scratched and bitten into pieces by it.

In the surveillance video, Jiaojiao's voice was a little hurried, and the whole bear was restless. It was neither lying down nor standing. It walked around for a while and then sat down, leaning against the wall of the nest, gasping for breath, with its head raised and mouth open, and its expression seemed a little painful.

It was the first time for Klas to witness a giant panda giving birth, and he didn't even blink. At this moment, even Medi couldn't pull him away from the video.

Of course, Medi was too lazy to look for him. The little guy was playing very closely with Jin Ya in the woods of Jiamugou First Aid Station.

Jiaojiao's waiting for delivery lasted until after midnight, and her baby was born within one minute after the bell of the Spring Festival Gala rang.

It was a strong little cub, and it let out a sharp cry as soon as it landed.

Although Jiaojiao was very tired, she still carefully picked up the child and put him in her arms.

Dabai, who was guarding outside the delivery room, also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the baby's cry. He stopped pacing back and forth, sat down against the entrance of the nest, grinned, and looked up at the fragmented night sky blocked by the forest canopy.

Chen Ying and Qin Naiba approached the nest with fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots. Qin Naiba did not get too close, and retreated after putting down the bamboo he was holding.

Chen Ying took some bamboo and placed it next to Dabai, scratched its neck, and patted its head, "Congratulations, Dabai, you're a father now."

The pure white giant panda smiled even more, and took the initiative to rub Chen Ying's palm. It was just about to bark a few times to express its happiness, when it suddenly saw Chen Ying's expression change. It thought something had happened, and the whole bear immediately stood up straight.

"What? Jiaojiao is still struggling? Are they twins?"

Since the delivery has not been completed yet, Chen Ying definitely cannot rush in at this time, otherwise it will scare Jiaojiao and cause a difficult delivery, which would be bad.

The man and the panda stood outside the nest anxiously waiting for twenty minutes, and then another cry of a panda cub was heard.

This cub's voice is a little softer, and its tone is sharper than the previous one's loud voice.

This time, Chen Ying didn't hesitate any more. Holding the fresh bamboo shoots, he lowered his head and went into the nest.
