After being caught and given a few injections, Xiao Naofu kept howling at the veterinarian for a long time without stopping.
Song Tiantian felt distressed and kept comforting it.
As soon as the little guy finished the vaccination, he couldn't wait to escape from the veterinarian's hands and jumped into Song Tiantian's arms. He howled a few times at the veterinarian who had just given him the injection, and then whimpered and acted coquettishly towards Song Tiantian, as if he was telling about his grievances.
Song Tiantian hurriedly touched the little guy's back and comforted it, so that the little guy stopped barking at the veterinarian.
Professor An, a zoology expert, looked at the tiger cub lying quietly and well-behaved in Song Tiantian's arms and couldn't help but smile: "It really likes Tiantian."
"Of course, Tiantian is Xiaoju's savior. How can Xiaoju not like Tiantian?" He Jingnian said this with a bit of sourness in his voice.
Look, he saw Xiao Naofu looking well-behaved in Song Tiantian's arms, so he stretched out his hand towards Xiao Naofu without giving up. But before he could touch it, the little guy got angry and howled at him.
That fierce and cute look was nothing like the little one who was rubbing against Tiantian's fingers and acting coquettishly just now.
He Jingnian retracted his hand and snorted at it twice before saying unwillingly, "You just don't want me to touch you, you just don't want to touch it anymore!"
That's what he said, but it would be more convincing if he kept his eyes away from the brain axe.
While Song Tiantian was petting the tiger and comforting the little guy, Professor An and the zoo staff were still asking Lu Chuanbei how they discovered the tiger cub.
After confirming that there was no difference from what they saw in the live broadcast room, they went to check with the staff of the program team and saw the video they sent back from their patrol in the woods.
"There is indeed no sign of tigress activity."
"It seems that this tiger cub may have accidentally gotten lost from its mother."
"It's possible, otherwise there wouldn't be no tigress around."
"What a shame! I thought we'd be able to see a wild adult Siberian tiger this time."
"Okay, it's already great to find a Siberian tiger cub like this."
"That's true. Now that wild Siberian tiger cubs have appeared, how long will it take for adult Siberian tigers to appear on Changbai Mountain?"
With that said, the zoo staff prepared to take the tiger cub back to the zoo for protection.
Professor An and the staff of the animal protection unit will stay to review the video and prepare to go into the mountains to look for adult wild Siberian tigers at dawn tomorrow.
But just as the zoo staff took the tiger cub from Song Tiantian's hands, put it into the cage they brought, and prepared to take it back to the zoo.
Xiao Naofu, who had calmed down after being comforted by Song Tiantian, was constantly scratched by the staff.
The staff hurriedly locked it up: "It's worthy of being a wild Siberian tiger cub. It's really fierce and fierce."
The little Naofu who was locked in the cage was so angry that he kept barking at the cage. Then he opened his sharp little teeth and sharp claws, biting the cage continuously, and made threatening snoring sounds in his throat.
Song Tiantian quickly reached out to the little guy in the cage and said, "Uncle, Xiaoju doesn't like being locked up. Let it out quickly, otherwise it will hurt itself."
The veterinarian nearby tried to stop Song Tiantian, but saw that the little cat, who had been grinding the cage with its little paws and baby teeth, immediately retracted its little paws the moment it touched Song Tiantian's fingers.
Not only that, it also tried to stick its head in front of the cage with a wronged look, and rubbed it against the little hand that Song Tiantian stretched out.
The veterinarian looked at the little head's different treatment of Song Tiantian and couldn't help but feel envious: "This little guy really has two faces."
Professor An couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah, the little guy also knows who is good to him."
"Professor An, I didn't do anything bad to it, did I?" the veterinarian said in injustice.
"You did it." Xu Anjia said, hands on her hips, "You just used a huge syringe to give it several injections!"
"Right." He Jingnian looked at him accusingly and said, "Xiaoju screamed miserably when he was given the injection just now."
"I'm doing this for its own good." The veterinarian glanced at the little guy in the cage unconvincedly: "Forget it, wait until you're quiet for a while, then I'll take you away."
But even Xiao Naofu calmed down after being comforted by Song Tiantian.
Whenever the veterinarian or zoo staff wanted to take it out of the cage, it would start screaming anxiously again. The whole tiger cub repeated the state it was in when it was just locked in the cage, and became a irritable ball of fur, constantly rushing around in the cage.
The veterinarian was worried that it would hurt itself, so he quickly put it down and made it calm down again. But even so, it still stood in the cage and stared at Song Tiantian, afraid that Tiantian would disappear if they were not paying attention.
That pitiful yet slightly stubborn look melted the hearts of everyone present.
"Uncle, can you please not take Xiaoju away?"
Lu Chuanbei pulled Tiantian over and said, "Tiantian, these uncles took Xiaoju to the zoo to protect her."
"I know, but aren't you talking about a wild Siberian tiger? If it's kept in a zoo, is it still wild?" Song Tiantian said somewhat aggrievedly for Xiaoju.
"Uh..." Lu Chuanbei was a little speechless.
Professor An smiled and looked at Song Tiantian: "You are right, but the little guy is too small now. If he is left alone in the jungle without the protection of the mother tiger, he will be in danger."
"Then, can't I keep it?"
"No," Professor An shook his head. "The Siberian tiger is a nationally protected species and cannot be privately kept."
“But it doesn’t want to be separated from me.”
"That can't be helped, but you can come to the zoo to see it in the next two years."
"Two years?" Song Tiantian was puzzled.
"Yes, we will keep the tiger cub in the zoo for two years. When it can hunt independently, we will release it back into the forest."
[Actually, this is fine. After all, Xiaoju is still too young. If we release him back into the forest now, we'll just be feeding the wild beasts.]
[Yes, a tiger cub this big can be harmed by any large beast.]
[Although he will be kept in captivity for a while, the most important thing right now is to ensure Xiao Naofu's safety.]
[That's right, there are too many accidents in the forest, and the live broadcast has already announced Xiao Naofu's situation. If we just release it like this, not only will wild animals harm it, but poachers will probably target it.]
Although he was reluctant to leave, it was too dangerous outside, so Xiaoju decided to become a civil servant. Becoming a state-employed little brain axe sounds pretty cool.
Without the protection of its mother, the best place for the tiger cub is in a zoo.
This barrage had just flashed across the live broadcast room when a tiger roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
This voice made the people who were originally planning to take the tiger cub back stop immediately.
At the same time, the little Brain Axe in the animal cage was even more excited and kept roaring in the direction where the tiger's roar came from.
[It's a tiger roar. Oh my god, could it be the tiger cub's mother coming?]
"Of course it is. Didn't they just say that cubs are usually accompanied by their mothers? So the sound must be from the mother herself."
[Wow, just when I was talking about the tiger cubs having no mother to protect them, here comes the mother tiger!]
[Suddenly excited, maybe we can see a full-grown Siberian tiger in the live studio today! ]
[The adult Siberian tiger that's been missing from Changbai Mountain for over a decade? No, I need to get all my friends to watch the livestream!]
All of a sudden, the number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly rose to a new height.
As soon as Professor An and his colleagues heard the tiger's roar, they immediately put aside their plans to take the tiger cub back to the zoo.
Then they hurried out of the yard: "The sound came from the forest."
"It was indeed a tiger roar, but didn't the drone footage just now show any trace of an adult Siberian tiger?"
"It's possible that it just found the tiger cub's trail and came here."
"Anyway, since we've heard the tiger's roar, it must be not far from here."
"I'll get the drone."
"The program team has already followed the sound and is looking for him." Zhang Bosong said quickly.
"Can you let us take a look at the video you sent back?"
"Of course." Without saying a word, Zhang Bosong took them to a three-story building not far from the inner courtyard. The staff of the program team were operating a drone in the house and patrolling the forest.
The drone quickly followed the sound and flew into the woods.
Soon, they saw a pair of sharp lights flashing through the forest. When they saw this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp: "Is it that?"
"Yeah, this smooth body shape, body, and these eyes, it must be a Siberian tiger." Professor An's eyes were now filled with the black shadow on the screen.
Hearing this, Song Tiantian tried to tiptoe and looked at the operation screen in the staff's hand.
But no matter how she looked, apart from seeing the pair of dark blue eyes standing out on the screen, she couldn't make out where the Siberian tiger was.
On the contrary, the staff and expert professors nearby were extremely excited.
"It really is a Siberian tiger, it looks so energetic."
"Wait, look here, is there another dark shadow?"
"Let me see, it's true, but it looks like it's holding something in its mouth..."
He Xuebin looked at their excited discussion and looked to the side in confusion: "Xiao Lu, can you tell that this black shadow is a Siberian tiger?"
"Well..." Lu Chuanbei hadn't figured it out yet, but seeing Professor An and the others' genuinely excited expressions, he nodded and said, "You should be able to figure it out, right?"
"What do you mean 'should'? This is a Siberian tiger." Professor An, standing nearby, couldn't stand the noise any longer. He hurried forward, took the control panel from the staff member, and pointed at the Siberian tiger hidden in the shadows. "Look here: round head, short ears, white spots between its eyes, and this is its thick body and shoulders..."
[Oh my god, even though Professor An is explaining it very seriously, I still can't tell whether this black shadow is a Siberian tiger or not?]
[Same as above, I didn’t see that either…]
At this moment, the veterinarian asked the staff to move the drone closer in order to see clearly what the black shadow on the Siberian tiger was.
The Siberian tiger, which had already sensed the movement above, jumped out from the bushes where it was lurking the moment the drone approached.
The bright moonlight shone through the fallen leaves in the dense forest onto the agile body that was about three meters long.
A giant tiger leaped out of the forest. Its brown fur was covered with black horizontal stripes, smoothly distributed all over its body. The word "king" in the middle of its round forehead showed the majesty of the king of beasts, and its sharp tiger eyes faced the camera directly.
Before the people in the live broadcast room and in front of the screen could react to the majestic posture of the Siberian tiger, a sharp tiger paw slashed through the air, and with a click, it knocked the drone down from mid-air.
The drone's operating screen suddenly went black, causing people who were caught off guard by the Siberian tiger to gasp.
The crew member operating the drone didn't even have time to react to the fact that the drone had been knocked to the ground. Instead, they patted their chest and took a deep breath to calm down: "Oh my god, the moment it jumped out, I almost couldn't breathe."
"Me too." The veterinarian hadn't expected a wild Siberian tiger to have such powerful leaping abilities, nor such sharp, fierce eyes. "Sure enough, wild Siberian tigers are simply not on the same level as the tigers in the zoo."
"Of course, it is the king of all beasts." Professor An's mind was now only on the figure of the Siberian tiger leaping up just now.
[That scene just now scared me so much that I almost forgot to breathe...]
[Gulp... Me too. Is this a Siberian tiger? This murderous aura scares me even through several screens.]
[Even though it is like that, it is a Siberian tiger! ]
[Yes, it’s a Siberian tiger, a real Siberian tiger. The Siberian tiger is back again!]
[Yeah, the wild Siberian tiger, which disappeared for over a decade, has reappeared in Changbai Mountain. I'm so excited! I need to go downstairs and run a few laps to cool down.]
At this moment, the He drone that had been shot down by the Siberian tiger was suddenly flipped over several times.
There was a clicking sound from the operating screen, and the black lens was flashing with snow. But just when the staff reacted and wailed about the loss of their drone, a pair of curious eyes flashed across the camera.
Upon seeing this, the staff was immediately stunned: "Wait, these eyes..."
He hurriedly looked towards the animal cage that Song Tiantian had brought with her...
