Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 144: Did it come so far for a blind date?
"We think we've found it. It's in the woodshed of Qi Le's family in Xiaozhai Village. It should be the one we're looking for. Contact the center first and send a car over. The panda doesn't seem to be in good condition."

Before they can confirm that the female panda is the cub's mother, they have to continue searching. What if she is not? There is no time to waste.

"This year the weather is colder than in previous years, and it got cold earlier. The pandas are now heading down the mountain, and the wild animals on the mountain are expected to reach human settlements as well."

"Well, so nature conservation has both advantages and disadvantages. With good conservation, there will be more animals, and the natural ecology will recover faster and better. But the climate is cold, food is scarce, and animals can't find food, so they can only turn to humans."

This topic was too heavy, and in the end almost no one spoke. They just focused on following Dabai.

"Woof woof, meow~"

Dabai suddenly started to jog, and Chen Ying was shocked, "Hurry up, keep up."

As the whole family was accelerating, two slightly plump staff members turned pale and continued to persevere with gritted teeth.

There was a ditch about twenty meters ahead, and as far as the eye could see, the traces of battle were still fresh.

Chen Ying's heart tightened and he rushed over.

Holding onto the big tree and looking out, I saw a dried-up riverbed under the cliff that was more than ten meters high. On the rocky river beach, a group of black and white animals lay there motionless.

Chen Ying forced himself to calm down, arranged for someone to tie the rescue rope, and prepared to go down to check the situation.

Dabai paced back and forth anxiously, as if he wanted to go down but couldn't find a safe way out.

"Dabai, don't go. You have to protect yourself. Jiaojiao and Leo need you. I'll just go and take a look. If I can save it, I will definitely do so."

Patting Dabai's arm and watching it open its mouth anxiously, Chen Ying stroked its arm hard twice.

"Help me take care of them here. If any wild beasts come, we can only rely on you."

"Hehe, okay, I'll wait here."

Dabai calmed down a little, sat down to catch his breath, and glanced around vigilantly.

"Brother Ying, the two of us will go down first, and you stay on top."

"No, I want to go down too. You two don't have enough experience in rescue, don't try to be brave."

Chen Ying grabbed one of the interns and asked him to stay.

"Then Brother Ying, I will go with you. Sooner or later, I will be able to stand on my own. Let me learn from you."

Okay, the child is ambitious and we shouldn’t discourage him too much.

Taking the two young men, they quickly slid down to the rocky beach on the riverbed, and Chen Ying ran towards the giant panda with high vigilance.

Instead of reaching out to touch it rashly, he walked around the giant panda first to check the situation before taking action.

"The adult giant panda had blood in its nose, two-thirds of its right ear was bitten off, and there was blood on the black spots of both eyes. It is not clear whether the eyes were injured."

He continued to observe, "The limbs are intact, but I'm not sure if there are any fractures. Three nails on the left front paw are broken and there are bloodstains. There are bite marks on the paw."

Moving his eyes to the giant panda's body, Chen Ying took a breath.

"There was a tiger under the giant panda. There was a lot of blood at the scene. The tiger's limbs were loose and it did not respond to touch."

They didn't dare to take action rashly, so they touched the giant panda's nose with their trekking poles. After several times, the giant panda moved and opened its mouth, but there was no other movement for a long time.

Yin Li and his team arrived quickly, and several forest rangers rushed to the scene quickly and tried to find a way to carry the panda away.

It is not convenient to use an iron cage here, so we can only make a wooden sedan chair and carry the panda out first.

While Yin Li and his team were making the sedan chair, Chen Ying and the center's veterinarians conducted a detailed examination of the giant panda.

Examination revealed that the panda was seriously injured, with blood all over its mouth, and it was probably suffering from serious internal injuries.

From the panda's belly, it can be seen that this is a female panda that is still in the lactation period. Based on Dabai's reaction, it can almost be determined that this panda is the mother of the cub.

Apparently, the mother panda encountered the Bengal tiger when she was migrating with her cub. Normally, tigers and pandas don’t fight easily, as they don’t compete on food, so there is no source of conflict.

But this Bengal tiger is an old tiger. Judging from its belly, it must have been hungry for quite some time. So is it possible that this hungry tiger discovered the panda cubs playing and thus wanted to hunt the cubs?

Unfortunately, this action was discovered by the mother panda, and a fight broke out between the tiger and the bear.

Although a panda cannot kill a tiger with one bite, it can hold the tiger and roll over and wrestle it. Although the tiger can bite the panda, a bear with such thick skin and flesh, and a strong mother, it is not impossible for both to die together.

Analysis is analysis, but it is impossible to determine the facts unless there is a camera capturing the fight between the two.

Either the female panda had recovered from her injuries, and Chen Ying had obtained first-hand information from it.

Either way, the bottom line is that it is impossible to know the truth at this moment.

"The tiger is dead. It was definitely killed by the fall. Its internal organs are probably shattered. The panda fell off the cliff with it on top of it, so it escaped."

The cliff is more than ten meters high, and there is hard rock below. No matter how thick the giant panda's skin is, there is a limit to its physical defense.

The first aid station in the forest does not have large-scale inspection equipment, so the injured giant pandas must be sent to human hospitals for inspection with professional equipment.

After treating the visible external injuries and injecting the giant panda with some cardiotonic drugs, everyone worked together to lift it onto the stretcher.

The giant panda weighs nearly 300 kilograms, and it is very difficult for four strong laborers to carry it.

We couldn’t climb up with the panda in our arms, so we could only walk down the ditch to see if we could find a gentle slope to climb up.

When they had walked almost halfway, the supporters from Xiaozhai Village arrived.

Now that there were people taking turns carrying it, the speed was faster.

"The giant panda found in our village is a sub-adult male. It seems to be sick and a little underweight. It has been caged and sent to the panda protection center."

Xiao Qin led the team and while walking, he described to Chen Ying and Yin Li the process of discovering the sub-adult giant panda and how to deal with it.

"Brother Ying, why do so many giant pandas suddenly appear around here? Is there something wrong on the mountain?"

It's no wonder he was confused. Although giant pandas had come into the village to look for food in previous years, they were not so frequent.

It's good to see it once in a winter.

After all, the total area of ​​the reserve is nearly 40,000 hectares, and there are less than 200 giant pandas in total.

But this year, the total number of pandas they have seen is quite large, and the density distribution is a bit abnormal.

Chen Ying didn't say anything. He couldn't say that these animals came for him just to find a mate!
Xiao Qin never thought of such an outrageous thing, he just said it simply.

"By the way, how did that Bengal tiger get here? I heard about tigers before, but I thought it was a South China tiger. I was shocked and scared."

The South China tiger is so precious. If one dies, it would be a huge loss.

Ahem, of course, it’s a pity that the Bengal tiger died.

Chen Ying is more curious than Xiao Qin.

He knew more. Bengal tigers mainly lived in Tibet and western Yunnan Province. They were not far away from them, but they were not close either.

He believed a little that there were South China tigers. After all, according to the situation at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the latitude of their nature reserve was right within the large area where South China tigers were active.

It is possible that there are still a few South China tigers alive in the wild, uninhabited old forests.

But the Bengal tiger...did it come specifically to date the South China tiger?
(Which tiger do you think is the most handsome?)
