Chapter 38: Three-legged tripod, humans are responsible for watching At seven o'clock the next morning, the first collective meeting of the rescue station was held in the yard. The main thing is that during this period everyone found that the number of animals and birds around increased a lot. Especially the Sichuan golden monkey and the forest owl, whose living areas are not within this altitude range, but they all crowd here. "There are two lynxes near us. Jinya and her brother's territory just happens to include the rescue station. There is also a black bear that comes to hang out from time to time. Add to that Monkey Brother's tribe, and the biological density in this area is a bit too high." The rescue station chose this place because it is a sparsely wooded area and has little impact on wild animals and birds. But now it seems that animals are tending to migrate here, which is contrary to the normal situation. "Brother Ying, isn't the activity area of the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys in the Huashan Valley? Did Brother Monkey and his mother move here because the black bears are still harassing them there?" Chen Ying nodded, "That's possible. Ali, please go over there with Xiao Dengduo and see if the black bear is still lingering there. Also, pay attention to the bumblebee nests in the Huashu Valley. Don't let the black bears clean out the nests. If it doesn't work, don't we have some spare funds in our station? We can ask an uncle in the village to build an artificial beehive and move the bumblebees over there to see if it works." As they were talking, Brother Liu drove up with Sister Dai to deliver supplies.
"Xiao Chen, this is the quota for two giant pandas, and some meat is for Sister Bao and Little Bao. Also, I have something to inform you. Experts will come to inspect in a while, and it is expected that they may select a female panda to introduce next year." Sister Dai patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and pointedly said, "Behave yourself, kid. I heard from the director that the rescue station may be upgraded to a conservation center. In addition to wild animals, you will also be responsible for the plant and bird observation stations." Chen Ying did not show any excitement, but frowned instead. He just hates dealing with people. If he really gets promoted, he will be annoyed to death by the daily things happening. Sister Dai looked at him and smiled for a while without saying much. She asked Xia Sen and Xiao Deng to help unload the supplies from the car. By the way, she went to see Mendun who was taking care of his younger brother. "There are still a few enrichment facilities here. I'll write a report later and see if I can get you some money or materials." Seeing that Chen Ying was still unhappy, Sister Dai stopped teasing him. "Don't worry. I know you don't like these annoying things. I plan to apply to be the head of the conservation center, and you will be the deputy. I will be in charge of administrative affairs, and you will be responsible for specific rescue operations. Xiao Yin will probably still be in charge of forest protection and patrol, and there may be another bird expert. This matter has not been finalized yet, so I'm just letting you know. I'll let you know in advance when the situation is confirmed." Chen Ying's expression improved after hearing what Sister Dai said. "Sister Dai, you and Brother Liu are busy here. We have to go up the mountain to find the bear cub's mother today. We may not be able to come down for a day. Call me if you have anything." We had applied in advance to take Sister Bao into the mountains to find the mother panda, and the center had specially equipped us with equipment. The supplies that Sister Dai and her team delivered early in the morning included the necessary supplies for the wild. There are also some commonly used medicines for rescuing wild animals, as well as the essential tranquilizer gun. At ten o'clock in the morning, the group set off on time. Enter the mountain from the northwest, first go to the Flowering Hill Valley, then detour to the Wild Boar Forest, and finally explore the ravine west of the Wild Boar Forest that Munduner mentioned. If the mother bear cannot be found here, we can only return the same way, climb up the cliff from the east side of the Rowan Valley, go over the ridge and then go down, and detour into the forest in the north of the Wild Boar Forest. But entering that area basically means entering another protected area, and they need to contact their friends in advance in order to get supplies and support. Sister Leopard will only accompany them to the other side of the ravine. If they need to climb a mountain, it is impossible for her to take the risk with the little leopard, so she needs to be released in advance. So this time when going into the mountains, Chen Ying also brought two collars with her and would decide whether to give it to Sister Bao depending on the situation. Four hours later, they had finished checking the area around Rowan Valley.
The Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey family is still here, and it seems that the population has increased. Observing with a telescope from this side of the valley, the number of monkeys in the opposite mountain forest is definitely more than 100. No traces of black bears were seen. I don’t know if they were afraid that the golden snub-nosed monkey population would bully the few, so they had to give up the mountain ash fruits they like. On the way along the mountain stream of Huashu Valley to the wild boar forest, Xiao Deng spotted traces left by a black bear. "Is this big guy going after the wild boars? Can a blind bear challenge a group of wild boars?" "There are basically no records of Asian black bears hunting wild boars in China. Research results also show that there is a symbiotic relationship between Asian black bears and wild boars, probably because black bears climb trees to pick wild fruits, and their weight is considerable. The noise caused by climbing trees can cause the wild fruits on the trees to fall, making it easier for wild boars to pick them up." However, the black bear in their forest area is very rebellious. It actually left the accustomed high mountain area and went into the medium and low altitude areas to play. It also spent the whole day teasing monkeys and tigers. It is a real naughty kid. "Isn't there a giant panda over in the wild boar forest? Do you think the black bear will run into it?" Chen Ying glared at Xiao Deng and patted him on the head. "That's a good thought. Don't think about it next time." Sister Bao was lying on a tree watching her children playing in the forest. Not far away, Chen Ying and the others took out their lunch and prepared to have something to eat. In fact, there is a certain risk in letting Sister Leopard accompany them to find Mother Bear. Sister Leopard’s territory is not in this direction, so she might run into conflicts with other wild beasts. In order to reduce this possibility, Chen Ying and Yin Li chose a route that was as close to the edge of Sister Leopard's territory as possible. Just as I picked up the bread and took a bite, I heard a bear roar in the distance. Chen Ying and his team did not have time to rest and dealt with the situation in two or three moves. They took out a drone and began to patrol the direction where the sound came from. "Oh my god, they really met!" Chen Ying quickly controlled the drone to take pictures. The living environments of giant pandas and black bears are unlikely to overlap, but both like to go off the beaten path. One of them doesn't stay in the bamboo forest to eat and drink, but likes to cause trouble for wild boars. I don't know what got into me, but I was so bored that I went down the mountain for a walk. The male panda was bigger and stronger than ordinary pandas, with many scars on its body left from healed wounds. It was obviously a Kung Fu Panda. In terms of size, black bears are usually larger and heavier than pandas, and their diet is more carnivorous than that of giant pandas, which are almost 99% vegetarian. To the northeast of the two of them, a group of wild boars also went on alert. The leading wild boar was quite large, and judging by its tusks, it looked a bit older. The three sub-adult wild boars behind it looked eager to try. Three pillars of strength! There's something good to watch now. Yesterday, the two chapters were set to be updated at the same time, and the background could not display the additional chapters normally, so today's update time will be a little later.
