Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 281: The Bears March North and Regain Lost Territory

A bowl of sweet fruit finally calmed down the black bear girl.

But mother Bear was so disgusted that she didn't allow her son to go back, and left the two dogs to Chen Ying to help take care of them for the night.

Seeing that the mother bear was still angry, Chen Ying had no choice but to agree to help her look after the two children.

After finishing dinner and cleaning up, the three people from the management station and Dao Meihua and Xiao Shen were preparing to leave when Zhima slowly came back from outside after foraging for food.

Xiao Shen's eyes suddenly lit up and he didn't want to leave again.

No one can resist eating dumplings, no one!
It’s a pity that Tuanzi is not a treasure that you can get whenever you want.

Zhima ignored everyone and walked straight to Chen Ying's feet and sat down.

"Twolegs, I, I kind of want to go out for a walk."

Perhaps it was the awakening of his bloodline, or perhaps it was the gradual maturation of his body, but Zhima suddenly developed a great interest in the outside world these days.

It's not some ignorant little bear.

Being forced to leave his mother and live alone at an early age, Zhima must be very capable.

Even though it cannot fight with adult bears now because it is not yet an adult, the wisdom it displays is far superior to that of other bears.

Chen Ying looked at it for a while and made a decision.

"Come with me in a couple of days. I'm heading north to check out the forest over there. You can come with me."

"If you think it's okay, go north and occupy the territory that belongs to you. Or if you like other places, fight. If you win, you will be the king of this territory."

Zhima looked up at Chen Ying, confused but somewhat moved.

The two-legged beast stretched out its hand and placed its warm palm on its forehead.

Zhima raised his hand and covered that palm, recording the warmth coming from the forehead at this moment.

As the people left, only Chen Ying and Xia Sen were left at the first aid station.

No, there are also two naughty little bear cubs.

The next day, when Chen Ying woke up, she heard someone laughing downstairs.

When I looked over, I saw Lao Gao coming back with a cane.

In order to facilitate his movements, Xia Sen brought people to help clean up the room outside the warehouse yesterday and use it as a temporary dormitory.

Given Lao Gao's current condition, if we ask him to climb to the third floor, I'm afraid he won't be able to come down after he gets there.

Fortunately, there are fewer animals in the first aid station, and the few big ones that took up space have left.

Jinya and Xiaojin spend more time in the cat house on the tree, and may even be away for several days before coming back.

The little lynx is taken care of by Xia Sen during the day and sleeps in the big bed with Chen Ying at night. The lynx lives a very comfortable life and looks like he doesn't want to leave.

Compared to its brothers and sisters, it is very thin and even gets very tired when playing. It lies on the ground and gasps with half of its tongue hanging out like a kitten.

But it is happy.

There are two-legged animals who pamper it and feed it delicious food, and there are aunts and uncles who lick its fur and take it to play.

Although it doesn’t quite understand why the uncle’s breed is different from theirs, it doesn’t matter. It is the happiest little lynx, so it naturally has an uncle that other lynxes don’t have!

Big Crescent and Little Crescent have become familiar with the little lynx and would come to play with it every now and then, but they are not allowed to take the little lynx more than 100 meters away from the woods.

If it dared to run away with the little lynx, its scary and ferocious Aunt Jin Ya would stretch out her sharp claws to threaten it.

However, Dayueya really wanted to take the little lynx to play with the three cubs of the black and white bear, especially to let the three of them howl at the same time, which would be so much fun!

Chen Ying had only one way to deal with this overly naughty child: beat him.

Anyway, the bear has thick skin and firm meat. If one beating isn’t enough, you can just keep beating it. There will come a day when you can’t beat it enough and you’ll just give up.

Over the next two days, the three searched the designated area.

Seven poisonous plants were found. Those that could be transplanted were transplanted, and those that could not be transplanted were marked with metal signs.

Of course, this mark can only be seen by humans, and animals cannot recognize the text.

But under normal circumstances, no animals would eat these plants. The only thing to be afraid of is that there are a few curious kids at home who would want to eat the fruits as soon as they see them.

In order to solve this problem, Chen Ying asked Dao Meihua to collect some roots, stems, leaves and fruits of poisonous plants, put them in scent bottles, and made a wooden display stand next to the animal house.

When there is nothing to do, just take the little guys over to identify them, and beat those who dare to attack you without mercy.

It cried like this for two days, and all the kids in the family knew that they couldn’t eat fruit with this flavor. If they ate it, they would be beaten, and it would hurt a lot. They would also have their cookies taken away from them!

Of course, the objects of education are limited to the bear cubs. The little lynx has no interest in plants and can only jump around following its brothers.

Big Crescent was the slowest in identifying plants and got beaten the most.

Even though it has a thick skin and is not afraid of pain, it will still be a little discouraged. After dinner, Dao Meihua was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to talk to Chen Ying about the arrangements for the follow-up work.

"I have looked up some information at the conservation station these days. There are many medicinal herbs on the mountain here, and many of them require a license to be picked. I contacted the teacher and the license will be available in about a month."

Dao Meihua's beautiful eyes curved slightly. "Can I apply to build two rows of three-dimensional flower stands on the back wall of the animal house and warehouse? For cultivation and observation purposes."

As long as the ecological environment of the forest itself is not destroyed, Chen Ying agreed readily, but also told her that there are many birds and pheasants here, and if they are planted outdoors, a lot of samples may be lost.

Dao Meihua would not fail to consider this. Since this request has been made, there must naturally be a way to solve it.

Xiao Shen hesitated for a moment and then made his own request.

He wanted to stay and learn from Xia Sen how to take care of wild animals.

"As a veterinarian in the animal protection industry, it is not enough to just treat illnesses and injuries. In addition, I don't know much about the wild, so please give me some time and I will catch up with everyone as soon as possible."

When Xiao Shen spoke, his face and neck turned a little red. He was worried that Chen Ying and other colleagues would think that he chose to stay because he wanted to escape.

However, as he was very familiar with the wild, he did not dare to rashly agree to go out patrolling the forest with Chen Ying.

Taking ignorant and fearless risks will only bring fatal danger to yourself and others.

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a task. Observe and compare the differences in the lives of black bear cubs and giant panda cubs. If you want to be a professional veterinarian, you can't just treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause."

Chen Ying warned seriously, "Animals are not like humans. Humans can communicate, but animals cannot tell you their pain, so you can only observe them yourself. In-depth observation of their eating habits and daily behaviors will help you better understand the animals you know."

Xiao Shen nodded seriously, "I understand, Teacher Chen, don't worry, I will complete all the tasks you assign."

"Don't be so serious. We are all young people here. I am only a few years older than you. If you have any questions, just ask. You can join the group. The other teachers in the group are also very experienced and can learn from you."

"Before the new dormitory is built, you can arrange your own time. The maintenance station has more experimental equipment. If you want to do research, I will talk to the stationmaster and you can borrow their equipment. When the time comes, you can share a copy of the data you can share with them."

Some basic data can be shared, but key data related to one's own research topic must not be published in advance.

Since you are already a graduate student, you must know the importance of this matter.

Dao Meihua will set out with him and they will separate at Huashu Valley.

She wants to go there to collect plants and bring them back for cultivation.

It is not of high grade and is a wild medicinal herb that can be scientifically picked and transplanted in small quantities.

In addition, the medication for the little lynx was also assigned to Dao Meihua and Xia Sen.

Chen Ying walked the first quarter of the journey alone this time. After leaving the Jiamugou Conservation Area and entering the Wenquan Valley Conservation Area, the conservation station there arranged two forest rangers to patrol with him.

The main reason is that they found that the animal migration behavior was a bit abnormal in the past two months, and they need to determine what caused it.

If it is due to the migration of wild animals, we need to form a scientific expedition team with experts to trace the reasons for the migration of wild animals.

Anyway, one thing after another, one layer after another, nothing can be sloppy.

"These phone numbers and names are the contact information of the experts in charge of the South China Tiger Project of the Cat Alliance. When you pass by there, you can communicate with them about the situation."

You don't need to go up the mountain this time, just go deeper to the north.

They mainly investigated the distribution of animals in the area with an altitude of 1,500 to 2,500 meters. The distribution of animals in high altitude areas will not change much.

On the night before Chen Ying packed her luggage and prepared to leave, Dabai actually came back.

I haven't seen Dabai for several months. This guy has gained some weight, and his flesh feels soft and comfortable to touch.

Chen Ying was a little worried that Dabai might be too fat and put a burden on his body.

I had a blood test and an ultrasound scan overnight, and the results were good. The fat was not grown in vain.

"Are you saying that you plan to go to the mountains with Jiaojiao and the child?"

Dabai and Jiaojiao also found that the carrying capacity of this area was a bit exceeded.

They discussed it and decided that their baby had grown up and needed to occupy some land, but the giant pandas in this area were still strong and healthy, so they might as well just go out and come back if it didn't work out.

Jiaojiao took the cubs and Leo to train in the wild. Dabai hurried back to tell the two-legged beasts, otherwise they would have thought that something had happened to their family.

Leo and the cub had already worn the rings, which was why the panda people were not too worried about them.

Chen Ying called the protection center overnight and said that he was going north and that Dabai might take Jiaojiao and the two cubs with him. He asked if the protection center should send someone to follow him.

It is impossible to go completely deep northward. What they can do is to place infrared cameras at the deepest point that humans can enter, and check them every six months or several months. Using the data, they can analyze and determine the activity range and trajectory of the giant pandas.

The center is seriously understaffed this year.

Several projects this year were very successful. A lot of kittens were born, and each one is precious. So I can only ask Chen Ying to help with the placement of the camera.

After packing the bags, Chen Ying held the little lynx and gave it instructions for a long time. Finally, at Dabai's urging, he led Zhima and headed north.
