Chapter 360 Self-harming golden monkey
Then people followed the internet to find out about the pet hospital and cat cafe she opened. Word spread quickly and her pet hospital and cat cafe became a little famous.
"It seems that we need to recruit two more doctors when we have time. Where are An Ran and Bai Xi?" Lin Ting asked casually. When she was not in the pet hospital, the two of them were responsible for all the affairs of the pet hospital.
"Doctor An has two surgeries and is probably in the operating room now. Doctor Bai is making rounds upstairs. There have been quite a few children hospitalized recently." The female employee reported truthfully.
"I'll go upstairs and take a look first." After hearing this, Lin turned around and went upstairs. At the corner of the stairs, he met Bai Xi who was coming down from upstairs after checking the room.
Bai Xi was wearing a white coat, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a folder. After seeing Lin Ting, he whispered a few words to the staff behind him.
The staff member walked past the two people and went straight downstairs.
There were only two people left at the stairs. Bai Xi's expression immediately changed. The seriousness just now disappeared. Instead, she moved closer to Lin Ting with a look of surprise. "Sister Ting, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up? You didn't even know. An Ran and I missed you so much during your absence."
Lin Ting frowned slightly and raised his hand to block Bai Xi. "Stop, the weasel is not paying New Year's greetings to the chicken with bad intentions. Under normal circumstances, don't employees hope that the boss is not in the company?"
"That's true under normal circumstances, but Sister Ting is different from other bosses. So we miss her terribly when she's not around. Sister Ting, what I say is sincere. I'm definitely not just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. Trust me."
"I don't believe you at all. Do you have something to ask me?" Lin Ting saw through Bai Xi's thoughts at a glance.
Bai Xi, who was seen through, instantly became serious. "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Sister Ting. Even if Sister Ting doesn't come today, I plan to contact her after get off work."
"What happened?" Seeing Bai Xi's serious expression, Lin Ting had a bad feeling.
Bai Xi pointed to the lounge next to him with his chin.
It's no big deal for them to stand here and talk.
Lin Ting followed Bai Xi into the lounge. After entering, Lin Ting closed the door.
Bai Xi walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to Lin Ting, then took out his mobile phone, opened a video and handed it to Lin Ting.
"This is a video uploaded by a teacher in my class group. They found this golden monkey in the Chuancheng Wildlife Reserve.
This golden monkey would run down the mountain and act crazy every now and then. At first, no one paid much attention to it. Usually, monkeys would run down the mountain and act crazy and steal things. But later, this golden monkey gradually showed self-harm behavior. At first, a forest ranger discovered that something was wrong and immediately reported it to the wildlife protection agency.
The wildlife protection agency immediately sent researchers up the mountain to bring the monkey down for a series of tests. The results showed the monkey was healthy and all its indicators were normal. After a meeting, the researchers decided to release the monkey. But when they went to release it, they discovered it was gone.
"After searching, the golden snub-nosed monkey returned to the mountain where it had previously lived. Since the monkey was fine, they didn't take it too seriously. Later, villagers in the nearby mountains accidentally encountered a golden snub-nosed monkey twisting in the woods as if it had mutated. The villagers were so scared that they immediately went to the local forestry bureau to explain the situation.
The Forestry Bureau was unable to handle this matter and had to seek help from wildlife protection agencies. After watching the videos taken by the villagers, they suspected that the golden monkey had mental problems and wanted to bring the golden monkey back for re-examination. They went up the mountain many times but did not find any trace of the golden monkey. It was obvious that this golden monkey deliberately avoided humans and did not want to come back with humans.
Researchers said that this level of intelligence does not indicate mental problems and can be observed.
Later, the ranger encountered the little golden monkey banging its head against a tree in the forest again. This time, the ranger learned his lesson. Not only did he take a video, he also immediately contacted the wildlife protection agency, who immediately asked the ranger to keep an eye on the little golden monkey and not let it run away again.
After the researchers arrived at the mountain, they caught the little monkey and took its blood for a test. Just like before, there was no problem. When they wanted to take the little monkey back, they were attacked by the little monkey and had to give up.
They installed surveillance cameras in the nearby woods and tried to observe the little monkeys through the surveillance videos. They found that the golden monkeys would go crazy every few days and even hurt themselves, but physical examinations showed no problems at all. The researchers were puzzled by this phenomenon and sent the video to our university teachers.
My university teacher is also a staff member of the Animal Protection Center. My teacher didn't understand the problem clearly, so he sent the video to the students and asked everyone to watch it and think of a solution. After all, we are all engaged in this profession, and many hands make light work.
This video is the footage captured by the forest ranger of a golden snub-nosed monkey banging its head against a tree to injure itself."
"Sister Anran and I watched the video dozens of times without finding any problems. I wondered if Sister Ting could talk to the animals and understand what they were saying. I wanted her to help watch the video and analyze what the animals were saying."
"Listen sister, have you interpreted what the golden monkey said? Is it asking for help?"
"My teacher and researchers from a wildlife conservation organization have analyzed the behavior of golden snub-nosed monkeys and concluded that they are asking humans for help by banging their heads against trees." Bai Xi stared at Lin Ting seriously, hoping for Lin Ting's approval.
Lin Ting put the phone down and did not answer Bai Xi's question. Instead, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Through analysis of the animal's behavior, I share the same view as the teacher: it is asking for help from humans in this way."
Lin Ting nodded without commenting. "If I remember correctly, the Sichuan City Wildlife Reserve has been preserved in its most pristine state, with a higher density of monitoring of the animals' living environment. Given that the golden snub-nosed monkeys don't have any symptoms, their environment hasn't been damaged, and they haven't been hunted, why would they beg for help from humans? What's their purpose?"
Lin Ting's series of questions left Bai Xi speechless.
Through this behavior, they instinctively think that the animal is asking them for help, but they never consider why.
Seeing Bai Xi's silence, Lin Ting didn't ask any more questions. She tapped the table with her fingers and said in a gentle voice, "Animal behavior can't be the only way to interpret them. Just like when we are dealing with deaf-mute people, our expressions of their behavior may not be consistent with their true needs. In this case, this interpretation is inaccurate."
