Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 555: Jiamugou Pig Hunting Team is about to set off
The golden eagle, the overlord of the sky, stood beside a lamb and stared at Tiger Sister coldly.

Not far behind the elder tiger sister is the younger tiger who also exudes a domineering aura. Hiding by the rock behind the younger tiger is the younger tiger sister who is a little smaller than her elder sister.

Normally, you would hardly see creatures like tiger cats in places where golden eagles appear, but this is not an abnormal situation.

The young tiger thought that sooner or later the two sisters would go to settle in the ecological corridor and would have to cross the snow-capped mountains on the way. In order to help the sisters adapt to the high-altitude and cold climate, it brought the two cubs to the Gulagou Snow Mountain Glacier to train their hunting skills.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I found a prey that was about half eaten.

As a top big cat, the tiger will also eat some light carrion when food is scarce. This is how it grew up. The little sister has to taste the bitterness that it has suffered.

The two little sisters were just about to move over to take a look when they were frightened by a black shadow that suddenly passed by and jumped on the spot.

The little tiger sister was terrified, but the big tiger sister reacted quickly. She twisted her body in mid-air to avoid the sharp claws, rolled after landing, and flew towards the big bird without thinking.

My God! Cats have always been the ones catching birds since ancient times. Today, it is being hunted. This is really against the will of heaven!

Tiger boy is still in his prime, and Tiger girl doesn’t care whether the opponent is the king of the sky or not. As long as you fall to the ground, you will be my appetizer!
Its muscles were tense, as if it was about to attack.

The young tiger behind it did not expect that this little tiger was so fierce. She usually looked lazy and had an expression of "it doesn't matter", but when it came to hunting, she became "I want this and that"!
The golden eagle was also very cunning. It took one look at the two tigers, one big and two small, assessed their fighting power, and directly tore off a piece of meat before flapping its wings and flying away from the scene.

Tiger sister let out a cry as she watched the golden eagle's receding back, then stepped forward again and took a look at the wreckage.

It's edible, but the taste is a bit pungent.

After one lick, you won’t be able to take a second bite for half a day.

It turned around and looked at the young tiger: Uncle, do we have to eat this meat today?
Fortunately, the young tiger only let the two sisters experience it and did not force them to eat carrion. Besides, as the undisputed top of the pyramid in the big cat world, tigers are very picky about food unless they have no more food to eat.

There are more marmots and plateau rabbits on the meadow, and there are also a large number of ungulates.

The young tiger hunted a young takin and ate it with relish, while the two sisters dug out three rabbit nests. Finally, one of the tigers took a rabbit and prepared to go down the mountain to visit her brother.

Going down the mountain from the other side is closer to the Jiamugou First Aid Station. At Sanhu's speed, it will take about half a day to get there.

When Chen Ying and the tiger cub strolled back to the station, they were greeted by the pounce of two tiger girls.

The big tiger cub excitedly rolled into a ball with his two sisters, just like they were still in their mother's arms.

When little Taobao saw his brother playing with two unfamiliar big cats, he became extremely anxious and no longer afraid, and rushed out directly towards the older cubs.

Little Tiger was frightened and almost bit Little Taobao, but luckily her brother bumped her lightly.

"Where did this little thing come from? Is it my brother's food reserve? It's too small. My sister and I brought you some food."

Tiger sister turned around, picked up the rabbit, put it in front of her brother, and pushed it forward with a smile, "Brother, eat quickly, rabbit meat of this size is the most delicious, tender, and you can even chew the bones."

Little Taobao nestled under his brother's neck. After hearing what the tiger sister said, he drooled shamelessly.

"Brother, I want to eat too." It scratched the tiger cub's paw and meowed softly, looking greedy and timid.

Originally, Tiger Cub was very rude to Little Taobao, but Little Taobao was spoiled by the aunts and became a community bull. If Tiger Cub refused to play with it, it would force its way up to him. If it was still rejected, without waiting for it to make a fuss, the aunts would stand behind it and look at it affectionately.

In the end, Tiger Cub got used to Little Taobao's clinginess and felt a little lost if he didn't stick with him for a day.

After hearing what Little Taobao said, and looking at the rabbit and the murderous eyes of his two sisters, the tiger cub pressed Little Taobao's head down and licked it, "Be good, brother will catch it for you later."

Little Taobao was indeed a good boy. After getting the promise from his brother, he lay there obediently, only showing his big eyes and looking curiously at the two tiger sisters over there.

Tiger sister had no interest in little Taobao. Seeing that her brother had grown up well and was a little fatter than before, she was too lazy to say anything and just found a place to lie down and close her eyes to rest. The half-year-old Tiger girl lived like an old tiger who was nearly fifty years old.

Little Tiger felt a little aggrieved and disappointed. She and her sister worked so hard to bring food back for her brother, but it turned out that her brother had another cat!

"Sister is so awesome!" Little Taobao exclaimed softly, and the envy in his eyes turned into saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.

The tiger cub put the little Taobao in front of the little sister, then rubbed her forehead and said, "You two can play first. I will catch some birds for you to eat."

Aunt Jin Ya told it that there were many birds in the bushes on the slope leading from the first aid station to the Huashu Valley, and they were specially raised by it and Uncle Xiao Jin!

It has been there twice and each time it caught the fattest chicken, no, bird!
Not long after, the tiger cub stumbled back with two golden pheasants in its mouth. It was so tired that it put down the big birds' wings and stuck out its tongue.

These two golden pheasants were just a snack for the little sisters, but since they were caught by their brother, they had to eat them even if they couldn’t finish them.

The kids were plucking fur and skinning tigers in the woods while eating and chatting, while Chen Ying was holding the young tiger in front and giving it instructions.

"You plan to take them to your mother? But aren't they too young?"

"They are not small anymore. They will be almost one year old by autumn." The young tiger held a piece of beef and chewed it slowly, then told him his plan nonchalantly.

"Although I can teach them to hunt in the wild, I can't teach them anything else. If I let them figure it out on their own, I'm worried that something might happen. I can't always watch over them, so I thought, didn't you say last time that you couldn't find a strong tigress to teach them? The most powerful tigress I know is my mother."

Yes, it would definitely be the best choice to find an experienced tigress to teach the two cubs.

Now the two sisters are still young, and there will be no competition with the mother tiger and the younger tiger's sister. After the mother tiger has trained the two little sisters, they can go to a farther place to occupy the territory. Anyway, the mother tiger's territory is much smaller than that of the male tiger, and there are no other competing tigers in that area, so there should be no problem.

If it really doesn't work, ahem, raising a child bride is also possible!
At this moment, Chen Ying completely forgot the purpose of Nian Hu's visit, and Nian Hu also had his own ideas and did not remind Chen Ying to find a girlfriend for him at all.

After the young tiger and his sisters left, Chen Ying received a call from a zoo, asking if they could find a chance for the young tiger to meet the tiger girls in their zoo. Chen Ying slapped her thigh and realized that the young tiger might have some bad intentions. Fortunately, the zoo also knew that the young male tigers here were wild tigers, so you can't see them whenever you want. It depends on luck, whether they are there, and whether the female tigers in our zoo want to have cubs.

If it can come together then it is a good thing; if it can't come together then it is just destiny.

After the tiger sisters left, little Taobao became plumper day by day with the feeding of the big guys at the first aid station.

But what surprised everyone and every animal was that, apart from tiger mom Bai Bingyang and big tiger cub brother, the person little Taobao was most attached to was not Jin Ya and Leopard Sister, but Uncle Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin is in his prime, and his hunting ability is second only to Brother Leopard in the station. Of course, this is also because he and Brother Leopard hunt different targets.

But it just so happens that the main food source of Xiao Jin's diet overlaps with that of the desert cat to a great extent, both of which are mainly rodents. However, due to the difference in living environment and size between the two, although Xiao Jin mainly preys on rodents, he also preys on birds, monkeys, and occasionally small deer. However, the desert cat's staple food is not only plateau pikas and marmots, but also birds and insects.

However, in this forest, Xiao Jin is the best at catching rodents, and he is more than capable of teaching Xiao Taobao.

As a mutant that can reach the top of the snow and dive into deep trenches, Jin Ya can also take Xiao Taobao to the alpine meadows and practice grassland hunting techniques.

Compared with previous baby pandas, black bear babies and even other babies, the biggest advantage of little Taobao is that it is rare but not so rare. It can be a group pet at the first aid station and can walk sideways, vertically or even roll under the protection of Sister Leopard and Jinya.

Breeding is also easy. You just need to take it for a walk on the prairie in western Sichuan and stay there for a few months to solve the problem of the next generation.

The cat will show no mercy if the father is killed and the son is kept!
A few days later, the Tiger Research Institute came to pick up the eldest cub.

It will first have to undergo a complete brain examination at the research institute, followed by a longer period of behavioral observation, etc. Anyway, the research institute estimates that it will take at least half a year to determine whether the cub is suitable for release into the mountains.

There is another point that many people, including Chen Ying, have overlooked. If the tiger cub's brain disease is a genetic problem, it is very likely that it will end up living alone for the rest of its life.

Originally, hybrids like Dacui that carry the white Bengal tiger gene are usually bred with white Bengal tigers or other hybrids in the hope of giving birth to white tiger cubs. However, if there are genetic problems, they are usually not allowed to participate in artificial breeding for safety reasons. If they cannot be returned to the wild, they will be doomed to be alone.

This time when sending the eldest cub away, Chen Ying did not hide it from it and little Taobao.

When he heard that his brother was leaving, Little Taobao was the first to get upset. He meowed at Chen Ying for a long time, and he refused to stop even when his voice was hoarse. In the end, the elder cub took Little Taobao away and hid in the cave. It was unknown what they talked about, and Little Taobao stopped chasing Chen Ying.

Not to mention Xiao Taobao was reluctant to let it go, in fact Chen Ying was also reluctant to let it go.

Compared to Bai Bingyang, who is so lazy that it makes people speechless, Dazai is cute and lively. Like little Taobao, he is the happy pill of the station. Even a rational person like Dr. Ou calls him "Dazai, Dazai" every day and buys snacks and meals for Dazai out of his own pocket.

It was confirmed that the eldest cub would be sent away in three days, and Chen Ying had no time to be alone with the eldest cub during these two days. Mengmeng and the young nurse also secretly told Chen Ying that Dr. Ou mobilized his connections that he had not contacted for a long time and got in touch with the staff of the Tiger Research Institute, asking them to send him photos or videos of the eldest cub at least once a week.

After sending the eldest cub away, the first aid station fell into a depressed atmosphere for a while. Even the extroverted little Taobao couldn't stir up everyone's emotions. This was something Chen Ying had never expected.

When he found out that Jin Ya and Sister Bao didn't even want to talk, he thought that the trouble was a bit serious.

The best way to divert attention is to create trouble, but if I want to create trouble now, well, I really can’t think of anything to do for the time being.

On Saturday, Yin Li brought his wife over to play, and while eating hot pot, Chen Ying talked to him about this.

Yin Li glanced at the cats lazily lying on the high platform opposite him, and thought, "Why don't you take them to hunt pigs?"

The topic of controlling wild boars from entering villages and damaging farmers' property is brought up every year, but there is no good solution every year.

"It's not so bad here, but in Baisha and Kalo, the wild boars and monkeys in the mountains are almost rampant this year. From March to now, there have been more than 20 incidents of wild boars entering the village. Villagers killed five wild boars in self-defense, but the total number of wild boars in that area has exceeded 37."

Several villages there said that there were too many large carnivores in Jiamugou and Gulagou, which drove the wild boars and monkeys to their side. Some people even went to the county to complain, demanding severe punishment for the Jiamugou management bureau, saying that they were shifting the blame for the safety of their own jurisdiction.

Meng Meng snorted after hearing what he said, "It's all their own fault. Earlier, when several management stations and villages here were preparing to jointly protect the environment and animals, they said that they had no people and no money to do anything."

"Later, when there were more wild boars and monkeys, they came up with the bad idea of ​​installing an electric fence. Although it was demolished not long after, every time a wild animal entered the village, they would kill it as if they wanted to. Which big cat would be willing to go there?"

In fact, the situation in the village over there is not as serious as Mengmeng said. Compared with those traps set by the Northeast, the villagers are relatively mild.

The main reason is poor leadership. If everyone works together like in Jiamugou, they may be able to come up with a better solution.

"I know what Sister Mengmeng said. In fact, not all villagers are like this. Only two families are more noisy." The young nurse glanced at Mengmeng, then at Yin Li.

"Those two families used to be hunters, but hunting was later banned, so they relied on their familiarity with the forests to collect herbs. But later they were not even allowed to collect herbs, which meant they lost their source of livelihood. So they treated the village officials and animal protection officials very badly."

The predicament is the same as that of Xiaozhai Village before, but Xiaozhai Village has joined forces with three surrounding villages to develop a collective project. Now it has become a famous new rural village integrating tourism, health care, education and scientific research. However, those villages are still struggling to find a way out on their own.

"Wasn't there a policy before that families like theirs should be given priority in recruiting new forest rangers?"

"Brother Ying, you don't know that although the village forest rangers only get 1,500 yuan a month in subsidies, it is the easiest job in their area and it is also stable. In order to grab this job, people are going crazy."

Yin Li nodded at the side, "Hey, I know about this. Our unit and the police have gone to the families' homes to mediate many times, and finally let them draw lots, and each family takes turns every six months. This time I asked you to bring Sister Bao and the others over, in fact, it was also because of this matter. The two families whose turn it was happened to encounter wild boars coming down the mountain, people were injured, and the property of the village was damaged. Then the other two families shouted that they were not capable of this and wanted to keep this job in their hands."

Normally, Yin Li's unit would not be involved in this matter, but now it has become a big deal, and there are difficulties in implementing the subsidy work, not to mention that it involves the issue of personal injuries. Yin Li's colleague who is in charge of this matter has aged a lot.

Chen Ying was shocked, glanced at Yin Li, and lowered his head to think about it.

"I'll discuss it with Sister Leopard and the others. If they're willing, then we can go."

Speaking of which, Chen Ying hasn't been on patrol in the mountains for several years, and he misses the group of monkeys he met in the hot spring valley three years ago.

I'd just take this opportunity to visit an old friend.
