Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 521 I, the tiger cub, am hungry and want to fish
Inside the nest, Jiaojiao sat exhausted in the corner, holding her two children tightly in her arms.

Chen Ying didn't go to see the cubs. After putting the bamboo shoots next to Jiaojiao, he started to clean up the nest.

He quickly threw away the dirty things and ran out to put the new mat and the soft thatched mat prepared in advance next to them.

During the whole process, he tried his best not to get close to Jiaojiao. After all, he was cold and he was afraid of disturbing the mother and her two cubs.

When he went in for the last time to put some fresh bamboo leaves on the basket, Jiaojiao called out to him and loosened one of her arms. In the dim light from the headlamp, she saw the two adorable little cubs in her arms.

It is quite lively and seems to be very strong. It raises its little head and cries out hungry words to its mother.

The angle at which Jiaojiao loosened her arms was just right, so the camera could see most of it.

The members of the Pandaman team quickly took a screenshot and sent it to their work group, which was immediately filled with cheers.

Giving birth in winter is extremely dangerous. In addition, Jiaojiao is not willing to go back to the delivery room of the emergency station to give birth. There are no good warming measures in the wild. They are all prepared to snatch the cub from Jiaojiao if all goes well.

I didn’t expect that Jiaojiao’s two children were in such good condition after they were born. No, I should say they were in such good condition.

Mundun's cubs were rare and outstanding cubs in the records of giant pandas in the wild, and Jiaojiao and her two cubs were much bigger than Mundun's cubs. Of course, they were still smaller than the sturdy Fufu cubs from Fuguifei's family.

This is the first time in human record that a panda was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The center immediately edited the good news and posted it on the official account.

There was no way to distribute red eggs like other places, so the center simply processed the photo of Jiaojiao holding two cubs in the video screenshot, drew three baskets of red eggs underneath and sent it out.

The cyber red egg is still a red egg, right? It should have a good meaning after all.

In addition, a special voting option was opened to collect names for the two cubs.

Jiaojiao is a wild giant panda. Not only does this litter contain twins, but the cubs' father is also a healthy and gentle albino giant panda. In the coming time, this family will surely be the focus of attention in the domestic panda circle, and even the scientific research circle will pay attention to them.

After Jiaojiao gave birth to the baby, Klas had no more excuses to stay. He planned to continue the trip he had agreed with his friends and come to see Chen Ying before leaving.

Since he has decided to study abroad, he must arrange his work in China. All work cannot be put at a standstill when he leaves.

The current situation is relatively good. Several previous research projects have reached the final stage, and only the paper needs to be written. Xiao Shen took the initiative to take on this task.

His skills are not outstanding in the team, but he can only write a good paper. In scientific research, experimental observation data is certainly important, but papers are equally important. From a certain perspective, if you can't write a good paper, no matter how well you do the experiment, it will be useless. The biggest role may be to make wedding clothes for others.

Although their small team is not a well-known scientific research team, after three years, everyone has worked well together and completed several small projects with a high degree of completion. Although the paper has little impact internationally, it still has some influence in authoritative domestic journals.

Once Chen Ying graduates with a doctorate abroad and enters the international veterinary medicine circle, the influence of their team will surely increase rapidly.

Didn’t you see? Ever since the news came out that Chen Ying was going to study for a doctorate abroad and was recommended for admission by two internationally renowned professors, many people have been trying to find connections to get their children into Chen Ying’s place.

Fortunately, Professor Bai is currently in charge of the Jiamugou First Aid Station. Fortunately, although the first aid station is affiliated with the shelter and rescue center, it has actually always been a semi-non-profit organization, so those people who want to strangle us can't find a place to start.

Moreover, the old leader had given his own child to Chen Ying long ago, and Xiao Shen had also established himself in the team with his own abilities. Even if someone wanted to use his existence to attack Chen Ying, they would not be able to find a tenable excuse.

Xiao Shen has been here for more than a year. He couldn't have known at that time that Chen Ying was going to study for a doctorate abroad and would lead an important research project.

The turmoil in the outside world has little impact on Chen Ying. The most important thing for him now is to pass the language barrier and read some papers and books in related fields in advance.

In terms of surgery and diagnosis, Chen Ying believes that he is no weaker than others. His weaknesses lie in his understanding and application of the latest scientific research results and the use of the most advanced medical equipment.

The latter also had the help of the knife family to collect relevant information. Although he could not get most of the equipment, he was given a thick book of instructions. He was asked to read these original instructions as entertainment books. He did not require to memorize and write them out, but at least he could understand how to use them and related application areas through these texts.

Because of the giant panda's birth, the other professor gave a certain amount of buffer time. The original schedule for her arrival at school in early March has now been postponed to before the end of March.

This arrival time is not the start time of the undergraduate semester. It is determined after discussion between the student and the tutor, and the time is usually determined based on the project the tutor is working on.

After the Spring Festival, it is February, and there are a lot of procedures to complete in the remaining one and a half months.

Klas drove here from abroad, and Chen Ying needed to apply for visas from several countries and an international driver's license if she wanted to follow him. Klas was responsible for the vehicle clearance procedures.

It takes about twenty to thirty days to drive from Jiamugou where he is to the destination, which does not include the time for rest, visa processing and vehicle clearance.

Fortunately, the weather was still warm when Klas drove here. Although the weather was a bit worse on the return trip, it was much safer for two people to take turns driving than for one person alone.

They need to travel northwest, leave the country at the Horgos Port in the new province, then pass through Central Asia and finally arrive in Europe.

The itinerary for the first few days was quite normal, but the unexpected happened after entering the new province.

Because he was in a hurry when he came here, Klaus did not go to the desert he longed to check in, but on the way back he insisted on going to see it.

Anyway, Klaus and he had the same destination, and Chen Ying was also quite interested in the world-famous desert, so he followed Klaus and headed straight to the Taklamakan Desert in the central Tarim Basin.

Along the way, they will walk a long way along the main stream of the Tarim River. This area is located on the edge of the desert, with an oasis and three large tributaries, and is home to many unique animals.

For example, the Tarim red deer is a species unique to this basin. It is relatively large in size and has reddish-brown fur. It used to be an important food source for the Tarim tiger. But now, the tiger has not been heard from for a long time, and the red deer have also decreased sharply due to habitat degradation and the impact of human activities.

In addition, wild camels are also common here, most of which are distributed in the eastern and Lop Nur areas. The route they took happened to pass through the Altun Mountain Nature Reserve. The reserve borders the Lop Nur Wild Camel Nature Reserve, so they successfully encountered two wild camels with ordinary appearance and cute eyes on the road.

The mother camel took her naughty and active baby out for fun, occasionally stopping to make eye contact with travelers on the road.

Krass put down the camera, his expression slightly puzzled.

"Chen, why do I rarely see animals when I come here, but when you are with me, there are always animals on the road. I heard them say that your name is Druid, are you really an Eastern Druid?"

Chen Ying rolled her eyes. "You must have been paying attention to driving when you came here. You were with your baby Meidi, so you didn't have time to pay attention to other animals."

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Maddie who used his legs as a cat bed, and sighed, "Fortunately I won't be back in the short term, otherwise the smell Maddie left on me would be hard to dissipate, and the cats at home would make a fuss again."

Klaus grinned. He had lived in the management station for a few days and witnessed how close the wild animals were to Chen Ying. Even domestic pets were not as close to Chen Ying as they were.

At first he was a little angry, thinking that this completely violated the principle that rescue veterinarians and wild animals should maintain a reasonable distance.

But he later discovered that those animals were not sticky to everyone. If he dared to get close to them, the cats would make him burst into tears.

After a night's rest, we followed the national highway into the desert the next day and went up along the Tarim River. There were deserts on both sides and thousand-year-old poplar trees by the river.

"There used to be Tarim tigers living here, but unfortunately the Tarim River changed its course and flowed from the north along the ancient Kongque River through the Tieban River estuary into Lop Nur, drying up the water sources downstream, shrinking the lakes and even drying them up, and the reeds and poplar trees also dried up and died. Ecological changes have led to a sharp decrease in the number of wild animals here, and the lack of food sources for tigers has also caused their numbers to decrease rapidly in a short period of time."

There is another saying that a kind of ant appeared in those years, and its number was so large that the little tiger was eaten alive by the swarm of ants as soon as it was born, still with the placenta.

However, local elders said that when the tiger was giving birth, a group of ants crawled onto the mother tiger's nose and bit her. The mother tiger was irritated and bit the cub to death, and then the ants ate the cub's body.

Regardless of which statement is true, it seems that the final culprit points to the tiny ants.

Although the Tarim tiger has long been declared extinct in China, some people have said that they have seen the tiger here over the years. Its range of activities is from the Tarim Basin to the Altun Mountains, but no actual evidence has been presented.

In the early years, a company offered a reward for finding the Tarim Tiger, but it was later classified as hype.

But judging from the past distribution range of the Tarim tiger, it is possible that it hid in the Altun Mountains or the Altai Mountains.

Chen Ying and his friends rarely stayed in hotels along the way and spent most of their time in the car.

That night, the two rested in a self-driving RV camp near the main river. While making dinner, Klaus smiled and asked if they would suddenly encounter a Tarim tiger begging for food tonight.

Chen Ying rolled her eyes at him. "What do you mean by begging for food? Do you mean the tiger wants you to offer yourself to fill its stomach? Go ahead. Meidi is under my care. Don't worry."

Klas cursed with a smile, picked up the bowl of instant noodles and wolfed it down. After dinner, he would take Meidi out for a walk, which was a must every day.

Norwegian Forest Cats are not suitable animals to be kept at home. It is already very unfair for them to be kept in the car with them during the day. They must be taken out for a walk in the evening.

Klass went to walk the cat, while Chen Ying was responsible for cleaning up the leftover garbage after dinner. Then he would boil a pot of water, make a pot of hot tea, sit down to rest and check the latest news.

To the left of where they were was a riverside forest. The protection work over the years has paid off. The coverage area of ​​native poplar forests and artificial wind and sand prevention forests has increased significantly compared with previous decades. Occasionally, goitered gazelles and Tarim rabbits can be seen.

Chen Ying yawned, zipped up his jacket, put on his hat, and crossed his arms across his chest, preparing to take a nap.

There was a fire burning in front of him, the temperature enough to drive away the chill.

The firewood and coal were bought from a small town they passed by. The brazier was also found at a market, a square charcoal brazier commonly used in rural areas for heating, with a concave area in the middle for firewood and anthracite.

With a pot, cooking hot pot couldn't be more convenient.

The orange-red firelight danced on Chen Ying's face, most of which was blocked by the windproof hood, revealing only his slightly dry lips and chin with blue stubble.

In the artificial forest not far in front of him, an animal approached quietly, and finally stopped more than 20 meters away. With the help of tree trunks and bushes to cover it, it stared at Chen Ying without blinking.

There was a sudden "ding" sound in Chen Ying's head, as if something was online.

Immediately afterwards, a rapid alarm sounded in his head.

Chen Ying gritted his teeth, pressed his temples, and rolled his eyes weakly.

Damn, I was almost killed by this unreliable and crappy system!
[New task released. Please help and teach a stray tiger cub, and successfully return it to its original location after five years. Completing the task will reward you with a "Biological Gene Library". ]

Chen Ying swore that he really felt the blood vessels at the back of his head, which jumped up to the height of a finger! If he hadn't been in good health and paid attention to health care, he would have had a cerebral hemorrhage tonight.

However, the system's crazy behavior also aroused his curiosity. When it launched the task "Save the Little One-horned Rhino" online before, it was not so eager. What's wrong? Is it a rogue system that only cares about animals?

Even though he was complaining, Chen Ying's sharp eyes had already begun to scan the surroundings.

Although tiger cubs are not precious, the tiger cubs found here are not Tarim tigers. They are named after the system!
The little tiger cub did not hide itself intentionally. After Chen Ying made eye contact with it, the little tiger cub shrank a little, but seemed to have a secret excitement that made it shake its beautiful tail high.

Come on, now that you’ve seen it, don’t shake it off. The sound of it hitting the tree, even if it doesn’t hurt you, I feel the pain for you!

When Chen Ying went over to pick up the tiger cub, he suddenly stopped, looked down at the well-behaved tiger cub, and fell into deep thought.

Now that this thing has found his door, can he still move forward smoothly?
