Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 540: Don’t you plan to recognize your cub?
There are no public toilets for you to use in the wild, so you basically have to find a place to relieve yourself.

But those who conduct scientific research in the field all year round are very careful when choosing a place, and generally there will be no problems.

But if the Eurasian lynx's behavior was not revenge, could it be that it was attracted to Daniel? No matter how unique its vision was, it would not be a good choice.

The three of them were curious and asked Daniel to take them to the place where they were yesterday. Before Chen Ying got close, he saw faint scratches on the tree trunk.

"You deserve this bad luck. This is the place where the lynx marked its territory. You marked it. Hahahaha, it let you go by not challenging you to a duel."

Mike couldn't help but laugh and punched Daniel in the chest. "You're the one who fought with the lynx for territory. Are you going to fight with it for a partner next?"

Speaking of competing for a partner, the results of the biological samples collected while petting a few days ago are out. Everything else is fine, but there seems to be something wrong with the hormone level.

Currently, several experts from the research institute are paying attention to this Eurasian lynx. Someone originally wanted Chen Ying to find an opportunity to catch the lynx, but Chen Ying's teacher stopped him.

"Chen, are you really leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, I had originally planned to go back. I came here because I received a sudden notification. Now my mission is completed. There is a special team for the next observation, so I won't join the team here."

Judy wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Mike's eyes.

"It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Mike is not one of the top talents in the zoological research circle, but no one who has worked with him has a bad word to say about him. This man looks big and strong, but he is actually very meticulous.

Did he not want to study the Eurasian lynx? Of course not, but he knew what he could and could not do.

Although the Eurasian lynx's attitude towards them was not as friendly as it was towards Chen Ying, because the four of them had been together all this time and it had never been hurt, the Eurasian lynx was more accepting of their approach than other people.

What surprised Chen Ying a little was that it was actually Klas who took over from him and continued to collaborate with Mike and others to study the peculiar behavior of the Eurasian lynx.

"You have no idea how terrifying the instructor is!" Klas looked at Chen Ying with tears in his eyes. "I had already agreed to go on vacation, but I had to rush back as soon as he called me. I just asked if I could be late, and the instructor scolded me for two hours!"

Two hours is definitely an exaggeration, but it was definitely more than an hour. Otherwise, given Klaus's personality of being often scolded by his teacher, he wouldn't think it was a big deal if the time was short.

The night before leaving, the Eurasian lynx came to see Chen Ying again.

It is hard to tell whether the news brought this time is good or bad.

"Are you going to look for that new female lynx?"

Chen Ying thought about it and realized that the lynx was not as good-looking as Martial, but its temperament was much colder than Martial and it had been successfully bred once at the National Park Research Institute.

Because the female lynx was very unfriendly, even the keeper who had been taking care of her could not get close to her easily. So in the early stages of her pregnancy, no one in the institute knew she was pregnant. It was not until she started to nest in a cave under the rockery in the outdoor area that everyone was surprised to find that she was going to be a mother.

Half a month later, the female lynx successfully gave birth to two cubs, and no one could get close to the cave where she gave birth until a full month later.

Later, because the cub was naughty and sneaked out to play, the researchers found an opportunity to steal it away and gave it a full examination.

The female lynx, whose child had been missing for two days and one night, almost scratched the face of the keeper who was feeding her.

After the child was sent back, the female lynx immediately moved away with the child in its mouth. It did not reappear in front of everyone until the child was three months old.

The powerful strength of this female lynx has been unanimously recognized by everyone in the institute, and she is also the most important member of their release plan.

The female was originally released at the other end of the stone bridge, near the foot of the mountain, but as soon as it was released, it ran directly over the mountains and hills to a higher altitude.

Judging from the signal returned by the collar it wears, it is currently staying in a high mountain forest area and the edge of a meadow at an altitude of about 2,000 meters.

This area is also the intersection of the Eurasian lynx's territory and the lightning territory.

As for the other Iberian male lynx, it is on the verge of collapse due to harassment by Eurasian lynxes and now plans to migrate south.

Chen Ying didn't tell Mike and the others about this. They would be staying here for a while anyway, and they would find out soon.

Chen Ying went alone from the campsite to the mountainside, where there was a footpath for patrolling the mountain. He had already agreed with the staff at the foot of the mountain to pick him up there.

Not far from the camp, Chen Ying was stopped by Lightning and Martial.

The two lynxes didn't seem to be particularly close, and Lightning's words later confirmed Chen Ying's guess.

Lightning has no intention of finding a partner for the time being, and after discarding his previous filters, Martial lost interest in Lightning. After he knew that the giant northern lynx was interested in another of its kind, he also became curious about that one.

"I heard them say that our hometown is still far away. I plan to walk from here towards my hometown. If I meet a suitable partner on the way, I will give birth to a litter of cubs. I will continue after the cubs grow up."

Martier had a good attitude. He knew that Lightning had no interest in him and he was not angry. There were lynxes everywhere in the world, so why should he have a one-sided love for a cat?

The two men and two lynxes chatted briefly and then went their separate ways. After this separation, they were afraid they would never meet again in this life.

Sitting in the car, watching the snow-capped mountains gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Ying opened his phone and posted the photo of himself, Lightning, Martial and himself on social media.

Without saying a single word, it seemed as if he had said thousands of words.

After returning to the institute, I reported to my teacher about my work and study progress during this period, and then rushed to the airport to start my journey back home.

A week later, I felt refreshed after breathing the fresh air of Jiamugou.

It's winter now and the weather is particularly cold this year. No tourists came here a week ago.

Chen Ying followed the vehicle of the maintenance station to the mountain, and brought gifts for her colleagues in the station. Although they were small Nordic trinkets and not worth much, the girls were very happy to receive the small gifts.

"By the way, Brother Ying, be careful when you go back today. There are two more pregnant women in the first aid station this year."

"Ah? Who is back to recuperate after childbirth? Mundun'er or Black Bear girl?"

"Neither. Hey, you'll know when you go back and take a look."

These suspenseful words aroused Chen Ying's curiosity, and he immediately picked up his luggage and rushed to the first aid station.

Because the Jiamugou Maternity Center is so famous, after an on-site inspection and investigation by leaders of several superior departments last year, the first-aid station has expanded from the original three small wooden buildings, one large and two small, to a total of seven wooden buildings.

One of the buildings is a special emergency ward, and the adjacent hexagonal single-story wooden house is a delivery room.

The emergency room and treatment room on the first floor of the building where Chen Ying and her family used to live was converted into an animal kindergarten.

The two two-story wooden buildings were also demolished and replanned, with the original small wooden building as a point, and the other four buildings surrounding the treatment center and confinement room in the middle, forming a five-pointed star pattern. Each building is connected by a two-meter-high wooden walkway, and the open space below is left for the animals to pass through.

This will expand the size of the first aid station without causing too much impact on the woods and animals.

In addition to Xia Sen and Meng Meng, Xiao Shen also brought his girlfriend to the first aid station.

In addition, two capable men from Professor Bai’s former team and three nurses also occupied a small building and were responsible for the surgery.

This configuration is basically the routine configuration of a small animal hospital.

When Chen Ying is away, the operation of the emergency station mainly depends on Professor Bai. In the past three years, it has achieved remarkable results and has become the preferred exchange place for all domestic animal emergency shelters.

When he came back last time, the overall renovation of the first aid station had not yet begun. When he came back this time, the renovation had been completed and put into use.

The first one to discover Chen Ying's return was Sister Bao. Her big throne was preserved, but the two-story animal house was demolished. A new one was built in the tree house style relying on the environment of the forest. The animal house was connected to Sister Bao's big throne, so it was very comfortable to take a nap and bask in the sun.

Smelling Chen Ying's scent, Sister Leopard jumped down from the tree, circled around him, and used her tail to drive him to take a bath quickly.

"Oh, it stinks. Why does it stink so much?"

Chen Ying raised her hand and sniffed, but didn't smell anything strange. Forget it, Sister Leopard might have entered menopause now. She was so fierce that even Jin Ya didn't dare to tease her whiskers.

When the others saw Chen Ying was about to say hello to him, they saw Sister Leopard staring at them with a fierce expression, as if saying that if they dared to ask Chen Ying to stop, she would make them lie down.

Half an hour later, Chen Ying, who was forced to take a shower and change clothes, was finally allowed to go downstairs after being inspected by Sister Bao.

It's cold, so not many cats are active outside.

"Sister Leopard, where's Brother Leopard? Why isn't he with you?"

The in-laws wish they could become conjoined twins. Not seeing Brother Bao today really aroused Chen Ying's curiosity.

"Uncle Tiger is dying, Brother Leopard is staying over there with him these days."

Uncle Hu was really too old and lived two years longer than Chen Ying expected.

The life span of a tiger is generally 20 to 25 years. When the tiger arrived at the emergency station, it was already 22 years old.

But we didn't expect that the mountains and waters of Jiamugou can support animals. After coming here, Uncle Tiger's health has improved a little. Everyone thinks that if there are no accidents, Uncle Tiger should be able to live to about 24/5 years old.

But after the Chinese New Year this year, Uncle Tiger will be 28 years old (in lunar age), which is basically the oldest captive tiger recorded in China.

"Since the weather turned cold, it hasn't eaten much and hasn't moved much. It can't see clearly after undergoing surgery, and its teeth have all fallen out. It can't even chew a tender rabbit. Now it has to rely on the minced meat that the bipeds feed it to eat."

Everyone was guarding it before, but Uncle Tiger was not happy. He felt that he was not going to die soon, so why were they all waiting for him to die?

The tiger was still strong, and when the old man roared, the young children scattered. Leopard hesitated and came back. Only Leopard stayed with him, and Xiao Jin would go out to hunt for him, bringing back the freshest and tenderest meat, and let the two-legged beasts prepare it and feed it to the old man.

"Where's Jinya?"

"That guy couldn't stand this atmosphere, and he wanted to go find Erniu and come back to see Uncle Tiger, so he went up the mountain a few days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be back in the next few days."

Sister Leopard is worthy of being the most intelligent person in the animal world of Jiamugou. Her overall thinking and speech logic are much better than those idiots abroad.

Jiamugou is truly blessed to have it.

As he was speaking, Chen Ying arrived at the door of the confinement room.

When I was chatting with Sister Bao just now, I already knew who the two people living here were.

He didn't expect that Xiaobao would bring Beibei back to visit Sister Bao and Brother Bao, and planned to stay here for confinement before going back.

The first room on the left is Beibei’s confinement room. Currently, Xiaobao is accompanying her in there waiting for the birth of her baby. After seeing Chen Ying, Beibei stood up and rubbed his legs, calling out softly twice.

"Why is Beibei's belly so big?" Chen Ying knelt down on one knee with some concern, touched Beibei's big belly, and could clearly feel the fetal movement.

"Teacher Chen, Beibei has five cubs in her belly!" The nurse in charge of taking care of Beibei picked up the tablet at the door and opened it to show Chen Ying. "All the tests have been done. Beibei is in great health. Although five is a bit too many, it should be fine if we take good care of her. Teacher Ou has already made a plan for what might happen to Beibei."

Chen Ying glanced through it quickly and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Please take better care of Beibei. His health is not very good."

The young nurse smiled crisply and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Chen. It's my honor to take care of Beibei during her delivery."

Walking around two empty confinement rooms and glancing at the names hanging on the doors, Chen Ying raised an eyebrow.

"Why was it sent here for production?"

"I don't know. It was Professor Bai who nodded and accepted it." The young nurse scratched her head and said that she had asked around but had no reliable information.

As they were talking, Dr. Ou and Xiao Shen came over from the other end.

"Brother Ying, let me explain this to you." Xiao Shen took over the topic with a smile and signaled to the young nurse that she could go about her own business first.

A few people pushed the door open and went in, and saw a fat white Bengal tiger lying on its back sleeping soundly, completely unaffected.

"The tiger cub in this guy's belly is a complete accident." Xiao Shen sighed as he looked at this lazy guy.

"Normal female tigers start to go into estrus when they are over three years old, but in captivity, it does not mean that they will successfully conceive. This guy was in the zoo before, living in the same area with a group of Siberian tigers."

The zoo is quite large, with three white Bengal tigers and four artificially bred Siberian tigers living in the large tiger enclosure.

Although they live together, the zoo has no intention of challenging the rules and allowing the white tigers and Siberian tigers to produce offspring. Once a female tiger is found to be in estrus, it will be moved to a separate cage area and suitable partners will be selected for them to interact with.

There are three white Bengal tigers, two females and one male. The two tigers are seven or eight years old, and this little white tiger is only four years old.

No one expected that the little guy, who showed no signs of being in heat, would silently cause such a big fuss.

"But, this shouldn't be sent to us." Chen Ying frowned.

"Haha, you've completely forgotten about your own cub, haven't you?"

Before Xiao Shen had time to explain, Professor Bai's voice came from behind.
