Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 469 As long as we unite, I will be invincible

A group of people rushed to the place where the crocodile was found as quickly as possible.

It is no surprise that the two leopards are Brother Leopard and Sister Leopard.

During this period, everyone's vigilance and worry were extremely obvious. Although the animals in the emergency station didn't quite know what had happened, they had watched the videos on Chen Ying and Xiao Shen's phones, and they knew that all of this was caused by those particularly ugly guys in the videos.

These days, the animals at the emergency station have been actively looking for those ugly guys outside, and today they were finally found by Brother Leopard and Sister Leopard.

There are high mountains, dense forests and numerous rivers here. In summer, it is a nationally famous summer resort, and there are always many people coming here to travel.

Most people still have safety awareness. If they want to go to the river to play in the water, they will take their family and children to safe areas.

In every town and even village, as long as there is water play, there are safety guards to monitor at all times.

But not here.

This is Yehegou, which to put it more simply means an undeveloped place, and it is one of those popular check-in spots for internet celebrities.

Of course the scenery is beautiful. There is no ugly scenery in this area.

But the danger hidden beneath the beautiful appearance is also very scary. But there are always some people who don’t feel the pain unless the knife falls on themselves.

The accident occurred in a small self-driving tour group consisting of five families.

They found the reviews of this place on the Internet, then drove over, set up tents and had a barbecue by the river.

They also saw the eye-catching warning signs on the road and river, but they went there knowing that there were tigers there. They also said that they wanted to take a picture of a wild crocodile and post it online, and the video would definitely go viral.

As they wished, the video went viral, the people involved were taken to the police station, and the two injured people did not escape punishment either.

The most liked comment was "If you choked while eating, should you blame the farmers for growing too much grain?"

Chen Ying and the others didn't know how the people who were taken away were punished, but the video they shot of the four beautiful big cats, Leopard Brother, Leopard Sister, Jin Ya and Xiao Jin, ruthlessly killing crocodiles, became really popular.

"I'm not saying I'm jealous, but why did Brother Ying's video get so many hits? Over 40 million! This wave of traffic is too strong."

Many people took videos and posted them online.

The worst ones have hundreds of thousands or even millions of hits, but the reason why Chen Ying is so far ahead is that after the big cats including Leopard Brother and Leopard Sister successfully hunted the crocodile, the four cats, big and small, stood in a row on the crocodile's back and tilted their heads to look at Chen Ying. That scene was absolutely amazing!
After the four cats had a feast, they left behind a pile of crocodile remains and ran away happily.

Jin Ya screamed as she ran, saying that although the meat of this strange thing had a bit of an earthy smell, the taste was unexpectedly good and she would want to eat it again next time!
"Well, there's only a small part of this crocodile left..."

A group of people looked at each other, and finally Chen Ying called the county forestry and grassland bureau to report the matter. After discussion, they quickly gave an opinion, asking them to hand in the video from the work law enforcement recorder and the remaining wreckage, and they didn't need to worry about anything else.

"Okay, let's disperse. We just need to take the stuff back. For any subsequent rewards, please check the group for notifications."

After nearly a week of hard work, a group of people finally caught the escaped crocodile. Except for the one who committed suicide, no one was injured, so the result was very satisfactory.

There are only seven of them. If there were more, or if baby crocodiles had hatched, the boss would probably be sentenced.

They walked down the mountain, and went back in a car sent by the conservation bureau to take them up the mountain.

As soon as Chen Ying walked to the bottom of the first aid station building, she saw Professor Bai looking around from the balcony on the third floor.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

The third floor is Lao Gao's territory. Although he has had to go out frequently in the past year, either to do research or to give lectures, he will come back and stay for a while whenever he has free time.

Therefore, his dormitory on the third floor has been preserved in its original state, including the several bird nests he hung outside the windows on the third floor, which are also well preserved.

"Xiaoying, come and see, why is there suddenly a nest of eggs here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying went up to take a look. It turned out that the bird had not laid its eggs in the artificial bird house, but in the corner of the platform outside the window, in an abandoned long flower pot, which was made into a nest by simply putting some branches and grass leaves in it.

"It's already August. Whose bird laid eggs here?"

Chen Ying carefully identified it and said, "It should be a kestrel egg. However, kestrels usually breed from May to July. It's already mid-August, why are they just laying eggs?"

He and Professor Bai had no problem examining and performing surgery on animals, but when it came to hatching eggs, they needed expert guidance.

Following Lao Gao's instructions, I installed a small camera next to the window, which was directly connected to the mobile phone, so that I could observe the condition of the eggs 24 hours a day.

I don’t know if it’s the same as the mother owl before, who laid her eggs in the human activity area because there was no male bird to help.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the mother kestrel came back with enough food.

After coming back, it spread its wings and walked around in the flowerpot, chirping softly. When it felt that everything was back to normal, it lay down and began to incubate the eggs.

Normally, two kestrel birds take turns incubating eggs, but now there is only one, which greatly affects the success rate of hatching.

In order to take better care of the mother kestrel, Professor Bai actually thought of digging rat holes. When he had nothing to do, he would take Xiao Jin and the little lynx to dig rat holes.

The mother kestrel was very nervous when she was first fed, but after a day or two, Professor Bai was able to directly put the meat to its mouth with chopsticks for it to peck at.

The appearance of Hong Jian's mother was just a small accident. What surprised Chen Ying the most was that one morning in early September, the system, which had been silent for several months since its last reappearance, popped up again.

[Please save rare animals, the Chinese pangolin and its family. 】

This is a system that releases tasks mechanically, and there is no reward or other functions. It's like it's up to me whether to release it or not, and it's up to you whether to complete it or not.

Although Chen Ying wanted to complain, this could be done at any time and the baby pangolin did not have that much time to wait for him to rescue it.

Although the system is very depressing, it still provides the necessary guidance.

Following the small map that popped up, Chen Ying found the trapped family of three between two big trees.

This was a complete accident.

A tree tilted inexplicably, with its roots lifted off the ground but not completely detached.

The vines clinging to the tree trunks and the wild grass growing randomly underneath them formed a tangled web.

At this moment, the little pangolin was stuck in the mesh, unable to move forward or backward.

Pangolins mainly feed on ants, termites and other insects. They are good at digging holes, but they cannot bite because they have no teeth.

When Chen Ying arrived, the little pangolins that were not trapped hid in a hole under the tree roots out of fear, while the mother pangolin curled up into a ball, looking at Chen Ying timidly with her little eyes.

Chen Ying picked it up and put it aside, then took out a pair of small scissors and began to cut the grass stems and vines to rescue the trapped little pangolin.

The little guy is very brave, completely different from his normally timid peers.

After being rescued, it did not shrink back in fear like its brothers. Instead, it lay obediently in Chen Ying's hands, looking at it with its clear and ignorant little eyes.

In fact, pangolins have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell is very sensitive, which is why they can easily dig termite holes and ant holes under the soil. After rescuing the baby pangolin, Chen Ying only took a photo of the pangolin mother and two cubs and released them where they were.

On the way back, he called Yin Li.

"Are you going to be transferred back this year?"

"Yes, but it's hard to say right now. It may not be announced until after the Spring Festival next year."

Yin Li’s teacher had talked to him before and asked him to achieve some results in Heyuan so that he could move up smoothly in the future.

For a technical talent like him who has connections, it is unlikely that he will stay on the plateau forever.

The last time Chen Ying was on his way back from Shennongjia, Dao Meihua also told him some news that her tutor might want to take Yin Li as a student.

In fact, Professor Bai also mentioned to him that he wanted him to continue his studies, but their veterinary medicine is different from Yin Li's forestry, and their diplomas are not as good as their surgical skills.

After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Ying changed the subject and said, "Guess what I found in the mountains today."

"What, what treasure did you see again?"

"A nest of Chinese pangolins."

The other party was silent for a while, and then spoke after half a minute, "I remember that our area doesn't seem to be the activity area of ​​​​the Chinese pangolin. Where did you find it? Did someone release it?"

"What are you thinking? Did you release pangolins? I found it by accident. A small tree fell in the forest and a hole was exposed. I guess it was made by the mother pangolin. Anyway, when I saw it, there was a cub trapped, so I rescued it."

After Chen Ying finished speaking, the other party did not speak for a while. "You report it. I don't know if I can be transferred back. Besides, with our strength, we can definitely find other treasures when we go into the mountains."

Chen Ying chuckled, "I knew you would say that. I sent the photos and the location. I guess your bureau will arrange someone to come and conduct an on-site investigation."

When a wild goose passes by, it leaves traces; when an animal passes by, it leaves tracks. As long as we know that such a thing exists, we can set up cameras or survey the holes dug by pangolins to find out whether Chen Ying's report is true.

After taking only two steps, Chen Ying felt his shoe hit. He looked down and saw the mother pangolin with her two cubs on her back, lying motionless on the back of his shoe.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to scam me?"

Chen Ying took a step back with her other foot, half squatted down, and gently touched the pangolin mother's head.

Pangolins are hairy. Their cheeks, eyes, chin and throat have no scales and are covered with sparse yellow-white or reddish-brown hair.

There are yellow-brown stiff hairs between the scales of the scaly area, with 5 to 6 hairs extending out of the scales in clusters.

The lower jaw, chest, abdomen, base of the tail and inner sides of the limbs are scaleless but have sparse hair and very little villi.

Chen Ying reached out and touched it, and the feel wasn't really good, at least not as good as the furry ones at home.

"What's wrong? Don't want to leave or are you hurt?"

The mother pangolin stretched out her claws and pulled at Chen Ying's shoelaces.

He simply put the two baby pangolins into his pocket, then picked up the mother pangolin and examined her carefully.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that two toes on the mother pangolin's front paw were broken and the flesh seemed to be torn.

"Okay, come back with me and apply some medicine. I'll prepare a separate room for you. You should be well in about two or three days."

After feeding the birds upstairs and then feeding the mother panda, Professor Bai was just about to take Xiao Shen for a walk in the woods when he saw Chen Ying coming back holding a big gray thing.

"Are you... a pangolin?"

Professor Bai leaned over to take a look in surprise, "Chinese pangolin, where did you get it from?"

"I found it in the woods behind the mountain. A small tree fell down for some reason, and a grass net was stretched to trap the little pangolin. I happened to find it when I passed by."

Chen Ying touched the pangolin mother who was curled up tighter due to nervousness. "The nail on its front paw is broken. I'll go and treat the wound. By the way, Xiao Shen, can you help ask the center if there is any food suitable for pangolins?"

After he carried the pangolin mother into the treatment room and settled her down, he took out the two little ones and handed them to Professor Bai.

"These two little guys must be hungry. I don't know what to feed them."

They must be fed during the two or three days of treatment, after which they can be released back into the wild to find food on their own.

"We need to find professionally farmed edible ants. I think the center definitely doesn't have them. I called the school and asked them if they have any."

The Chinese pangolin species has never been found in the entire reserve, let alone rescued.

There are only a few hundred pangolins being raised and rescued across the country, most of which are in the Lingnan area.

Professor Bai watched for a while, then took a photo with the two little pangolins in his arms, and posted it to his circle of friends, asking directly for food.

Not long after, I received a call from a professor in China who specializes in pangolin research. He must have suitable food.

But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. In order to collect enough food as quickly as possible, the professor gave a solution.

Artificial ant trapping.

To put it bluntly, it is to use objects with high sugar content to lure wild ants, and then let pangolins eat them.

This is a good idea. There isn’t much else in the mountains, so how could there be fewer ants?

I got a few small boxes of feed from the mixing room, put some honey in them, and put them in the corner of the house. It won't be long before they are filled with dinner for the little pangolins.

In the treatment room, Chen Ying carefully cleaned and trimmed the pangolin mother's toenails. The torn parts did not need to be bandaged, just cleaned and applied medicine.

Pangolins cannot speak, but their eyes are gentle and watery, full of motherly love.

Instead of putting it in a cage, they found the extra hidden crypt, dug a hole in a shady location between the two small buildings, installed the crypt, and then backfilled and dealt with the surrounding sand and plants.

The mother pangolin watched for a while, then curiously went in, then came out and carried her two cubs into the burrow.

After cleaning up, Chen Ying stood up and almost bumped into Xiao Shen.

"What are you doing?"

"I sent a video to my cousin, and she insisted that I was lying to her, saying that there are no Chinese pangolins here. I just took a video of a mother pangolin taking her baby pangolin into a cave. Humph, wait and see how I slap her in the face! Bang!"

Chen Ying looked at Xiao Shen with an unspeakable look, shook his head and left.

This kid probably won’t be able to keep the New Year’s red envelope this year.
