Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 462 Brother White Monkey, I didn’t expect you to be such a monkey
Chen Ying took great pains and finally separated the golden cat and the leopard cat into two opposite cages. Now, no matter how long their claws stretched out, they could not pull each other's fur.

"Come on, tell me what you two are doing." Chen Ying was holding a bag of melon seeds, sitting on a small stool, cross-legged, and looking left and right at the two big cats.

The big white monkey raised its head and glanced at Chen Ying, then shrank even smaller.

"It's mine, mine. This shameless fellow took advantage of me being injured to seize my home and my monkey."

"Stop, let me ask you, do you all live around here?"

The injured leopard cat seemed to be very straightforward. It meowed directly and said that it had been living here since it left its mother.

"That guy is not. If Monkey and I hadn't been so kind to save it, it would have died long ago."

It seems that these three guys have been hanging around the base a lot. Although they can't speak human language, they have learned many of human's tones, expressions and behaviors.

Especially the big white monkey, which is smart and lives a long time, so it can learn things very quickly.

Humans just raise some delicate little cats, but this monkey is pretty good, and all of them are ranked first or second in the country.

Chen Ying checked the records. It turned out that the leopard cat fell from a tree while hunting and had its skin scratched by branches, causing infection. It was rescued by a monkey who brought it to the gate of the base. Now that she thought about it, the monkey who brought the leopard cat here might have been arranged by the big white monkey.

It even said that it used to be the monkey king.

This golden cat, who is good at disguising itself, is very smart. Although it is obviously very strong, it likes to pretend to be a weak and helpless kitten. The big white monkey probably feeds it a lot.

Think about it this way, my goodness, the outskirts of the Grand Canyon might have become a private monkey zoo for big white monkeys?

Chen Ying is not a permanent member of the scientific expedition team. He and Dao Meihua are team members who came here to gain experience.

After completing this scientific expedition, they will leave soon, and the next third phase of work will be the arrival of professionals related to geology and ecological environment.

When the big white monkey heard that Chen Ying was leaving, he squeaked and wanted him to stay.

"I can't stay, Brother Monkey. I'll come to see you again when I have a chance, okay? What are you going to do with these two cats in your house?"

The big white monkey looked around and looked back at Chen Ying innocently, "Let them go out and fight again. It's fine as long as they can't be killed."

That’s right, there is no such thing as national first-class or national second-class rare animals in the animal kingdom that need to be protected.

Whoever has the biggest fist and the quickest brain can occupy the largest territory.

Ignoring the two "jealous" cats, Chen Ying pulled the big white monkey to ask about the situation inside the Grand Canyon, but the big white monkey said that it had not been allowed to enter since it was a child, and that the terrain below was difficult for humans, even ungulates, to enter except for animals who could enter and exit freely.

"My mother and other old monkeys go there before they die, and never come back."

So, in addition to the complex terrain, it is also a natural cemetery?

It is not difficult to understand. There are many similar places in the world. Wasn’t there a report a few years ago that many animals would follow the guidance in their genes and commit suicide in the same place?

Of course, scientists later gave an explanation, saying that various environmental changes affected the biological radar in animals, making them lost, which led to such behavior.

Those who believe this explanation will believe it, while those who don’t will just laugh it off.

In any case, that place is very dangerous, and only animals that are about to die will go there. So even the indigenous people outside the Grand Canyon don’t know what is inside the canyon.

As for the legendary wild men, Chen Ying felt that the possibility of their existence was very small. After all, the possibility of parthenogenetic reproduction was too low, otherwise there would be no biological extinction.

Moreover, parthenogenesis is common in some relatively primitive animal species. Simply put, this kind of creature does not need male individuals, and a single female can reproduce by replicating her own DNA.

This topic is very complicated and biologists all over the world are studying it, but no one can say yet that their team has mastered the "parthenogenesis" technology.

If this thing works, the behavior of urging people to get married can probably be curbed.

Previous research results have explained why the scientific community does not believe in the existence of wild men. This is because the reproduction of mammals requires cooperation between both sexes, and the number cannot be too small, otherwise they will eventually become extinct naturally.

How big can a Grand Canyon be? It is impossible that those savages have only lived in this area since their birth until today.

For any species to continue in a healthy way, its numbers must be maintained at a certain level, which is basically a consensus in the biological world.

Unless, these savages don’t care about science and just like parthenogenesis!
Chen Ying is a veterinarian. He takes care of you when you get sick or injured, but he can't control whether you have children or not. After all, he is single himself.

Unable to get much useful information from the big white monkey, Chen Ying turned his attention to the golden cat.

It's a pity that this guy is really good at being jealous and acting like a spoiled child, but when asked about serious matters, he is completely clueless.

Instead, the little leopard cat said that when it left its mother, it passed by a large ditch, where it saw many animals of the same color as the monkey. But the environment there was too scary for the cat, and it was almost caught and eaten. It ran like the wind for a long time before escaping from danger, and since then it has never been there again.

Even if it went, it probably wouldn't be able to find the direction. After all, when escaping, people only care about whether the place they land is safe. Who cares whether it goes east or west?

Besides, the weather was bad that day. There was no sun and no moon. It was just trying to run for its life. It had no idea if there were other strange things on the road.

Anyway, he learned from the ocelot that there was a canyon here and a place where albino animals gathered.

In this case, albinism may not be a natural selection of genes, but something else may have influenced them.

The meteorite theory and the radiation theory both seem to have legs.

Chen Ying wrote down what the leopard cat said in his notebook. If he had the chance, he really wanted to go in and take a look.

Three days later, Chen Ying and several other temporary team members packed up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, they planned to go to Jinhouling again, mainly to see the white golden monkey holding its cub.

In addition, they also want to know the follow-up of the skeleton near the Dalongtan Observation Deck.

When they arrived at the inn, the owner and the owner of the holiday villa upstairs came down to drink tea and chat with them, and naturally they talked about this matter.

"The deceased was a hiker, about 30 years old, who had been missing for four or five years. His family called the police at the time, saying he had run away from home. We didn't expect he would die here."

"No, I want to ask, that place is not a particularly secret place, right? How could someone die without knowing?"

"There aren't many tourists here, and that road is quite dangerous and off the tourist trail. Normal people would just walk along the tourist trail. The cliff is slightly concave, so passersby can't really see what's going on below unless they go down."

It did smell a bit stinky for a while before, but because it was in the wild and there were many animals here, no one thought about it in that regard. They all thought it was left by some ferocious beast during hunting.

In addition, people usually do not go into the mountains alone. Even if they do, their family members will come to inquire about the situation after something happens.

Everyone thought that the victim had run away from home. Who would have thought that he had met with an accident?

Even if we could think of it, we couldn't be sure where the accident happened.

If it weren't for the girl's hat, it would have taken who knows how long for the skeleton to be discovered.

The only good thing about this incident was that the girl and her teammates vowed never to go into the woods again.

When they talked about dinner in the evening, the owner of the villa forced them to go upstairs to eat soup. The soup base was made of three generations of pheasants raised by local farmers, and they had a certificate.

While waiting for the meal, Chen Ying also went to see the mother cat and her family. They were in good condition. The kittens were now plump and could already practice climbing trees and hunting with their mother.

The owner of the villa said that he asked his employees to build a feeding platform at the back. Every day, the excess meat and offal, as well as fruits and vegetables from the villa’s kitchen would be placed around the platform in the evening for the animals to eat.

Around eight o'clock every morning, the cleaning staff will come to clean the platform, keep it clean and hygienic, and put some bird food there.

Vegetarians and carnivores are placed separately, and in the middle there is a small artificial pool of five or six square meters, which is filled with mountain spring water to keep the water flowing.

In the boss's words, he takes from the forest and gives back to the forest, so there is no loss.

During the meal, the owner of the villa knew that Dao Meihua was from Yunnan Province, and curiously asked about the situation in the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve.

"We have a group of hikers, and they plan to go hiking in Gaoligong Mountain in the summer. Of course, we won't go through wild forests, but on a regular hiking route that needs to be registered. They said they hired local forest rangers as guides, and there are strict regulations on the route. I just want to ask about the situation, whether I can go, and what I need to pay attention to."

Dao Meihua's home is nearby and she knows the situation in Gaoligong Mountain very well.

"You can go. I know the route you mentioned. It's a custom hiking route, seven or eight kilometers long, with beautiful scenery along the way. There are a lot of traces of human activity, but it's also relatively safe. If you don't like adventure, this route is very suitable."

"Is there any other route?"

"Yes, but you have to apply in advance, hire a professional guide, and the hiker needs to have extensive outdoor knowledge. After all, that road is relatively unpopular, with few traces of human activity, and there is no place to get supplies on the road, and there is no communication signal. Once an accident occurs, it is difficult to get rescue in time."

The two bosses looked at each other and raised their glasses to Dao Meihua enthusiastically.

"If you want to go, let me contact you after I get back to see if it's possible to customize an itinerary for you. But we've agreed that once the itinerary is set, the review will be very strict. If it's inconvenient for you, it's best not to apply."

Chen Ying pricked up his ears at the side, and when he heard this, his eyes dropped, and he just treated himself as a mere diner.
