Chapter 118 Qinling Giant Pandas (Part 4)
The mother bear next door couldn't understand why the two lonely little bears finally met playmates of the same kind on the top of the vast mountain. It was such a sense of destiny and fate that they fell in love at first sight.
She pulled her cub by force, hugged him with her strong bear arms, and fiercely separated the bears that were about to successfully reunite.
"Yiyi!" Ziwei!
Yu Yiyun stretched out her claws as hard as she could, and called out to the little bear who had failed to escape from the prison.
"Woo woo!" Little Swallow!
The little bear next door struggled to fight against "fate", but was strangled by fate, and his mouth was forcibly covered and he was taken back to the den.
Yu Yiyun watched helplessly as Mother Bear dragged away her "Ziwei" and locked her up in a prison tree hole.
Ziwei yearned for freedom and kept sticking her feet and butt out of the tree hole, eager to run away from home again.
The mother bear got furious and caught her and bit her viciously.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Ziwei instantly became obedient, covering her face and sticking her butt out, crying loudly.
Yu Yijun was a lonely bear, lying on the side of the mountain and looking at Ziwei from afar. He actually felt the sorrow of the ill-fated mandarin ducks separated by the feudal patriarch.
"Yiyi!" Ziwei, I will come to find you again!
"Woo woo!" I'm waiting for you!
The little bear in the cave broke away from its mother and cried out loudly.
Yu Yiyun left marks along the way on her way home.
From that day on, whenever he got the chance, he would sneak into the neighboring bear's territory and secretly play happily with the little bear who was equally lively and playful but had no playmates of the same age.
Every time Mother Bear caught them, she would yell at Sesame Tangyuan, then drag Ziwei back to the tree hole and forcibly separate them.
Yu Yiyun had been broken up too many times, and she felt angry and aggrieved, calling her "fierce" behind her back.
A few days later, the persevering Sesame Tangyuan once again traveled a long distance to visit Ziwei in Xiongxiong's territory.
"Eeyee~"
Sesame glutinous rice ball secretly poked out its round head and gave the secret signal for contact, but there was no response from Ziwei.
For miles around, only Xiong Xiong was squatting there, crunching bamboo.
Seeing that she rarely yelled at him, Yu Yijun plucked up the courage to move closer and climbed to the tree hole where Ziwei often slept, but still did not see his good friend the bear.
"Eeyee?"
Xiongxiong, where is Ziwei?
The sesame dumpling blinked its eyes and asked the feudal patriarch pitifully.
Xiong Xiong sat there as steady as a rock, chewing on bamboo, unmoved by Yu Yiyun's questions.
A gust of mountain wind blew towards him, causing Little Dumpling to sneeze.
“Ahh—!”
The poor little bear sneezed and sniffed, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
He seemed to guess where Ziwei had gone.
Wild giant pandas migrate to different altitudes in the mountains and forests according to the seasons.
Starting from October, the plants at high altitudes of the Qinling Mountains withered, the temperature became lower and lower, and it became gradually unsuitable for animal survival.
In order to provide enough food for her cubs, mother bears will look for new caves and move many times.
In recent days, Qi Qi has frequently left the area where he usually goes to look for a new place for Tuanzi.
Xiongxiong must have found a suitable cave and brought Ziwei there.
So here comes the question.
Since Ziwei has left, why did Xiong Xiong come back here?
Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball tilted his head and could only think of one possibility.
After Xiong Xiong moved, he specially returned to the original place and told the wild bear kid who had come all the way to play with his daughter: "Hey little brat, we are moving."
If Yu Yiyun came to Xiong Xiong's territory and didn't see a single bear, she would definitely guess that the mother and daughter had met with an accident and would anxiously search all over the mountains for them.
"Yiyi!" So fierce!
Sesame glutinous rice balls' eyes lit up.
"Yiyi!" I misunderstood you, you are a good bear~!
"Woof!"
When Xiong Xiong saw the wild bear trying to abduct his lovely daughter and pounce on him shamelessly, he roared in anger.
"Woof woof!" Stop bothering my daughter!
Xiong Xiong roared twice angrily, dropped the bamboo in his hand, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Yu Yijun was even more moved when she picked up the bamboo she left behind.
You left me a gift before you left. You are so nice~
Sesame dumplings are in the teething period and cannot bite the hard bamboo for the time being.
He brought Zhuzi back home, and when he heard Qiqi calling him, he rolled and crawled towards his mother.
"Yiyi~" Mommy, I'm back from fooling around~
Qi Qi hugged her baby and told him that a new home had been found.
"Ah, ah~" Baby, we are moving!
"Yiyi!" Mommy, I miss you too!
Yu Yijun hugged her mommy with her chubby paws and rubbed against her arms.
After a few rubs, Qi Qi struggled to hug the fat boy, as if she wanted to hold him whole in her arms.
As a result, Qi Qi stood up shakily holding the sesame dumplings.
Before the bear could stand firmly, its center of gravity was unstable and it fell backwards due to inertia, with both mother and child falling into two lumps.
Netizens in the live broadcast room saw the two of them rolling into two balls and took screenshots to make emoticons.
[xwsl! Qiqi, open your eyes and look at his 250cm body. He will be fatter than you in two months. Are you sure you can hold him?]
[u1s1, an average panda baby weighs about 30-40 kilograms at 7 months old, and its mother can definitely hold it. About 250 kilograms... He is twice as fat as other pandas when he is born]
[250 must be 50 kilograms. He was weaned so early, why is he fatter than the breast-feeding bear? ]
[Do I need to ask why? It is reasonable to suspect that he was weaned at 250, probably because drinking milk affected his eating speed. The day before yesterday, I watched the live broadcast of Zaizai eating for 13 hours, eating ten kilograms of bamboo shoots, two large bunches of kiwis, dozens of chestnuts and a large piece of honey. Who told me that pandas have a monotonous diet? He eats a lot.]
[Don't diss Fatty Baby! We 250 are so smart! Other pandas watched chestnuts ripen and were eaten by birds, leaving only the shells. We 250 climbed up the chestnut tree as soon as we saw it, and even knew how to open the shells. He deserves to have so many chestnuts to eat! ]
[Speaking of which, Qiqi is planning to move 250 down the mountain, right? There are more fruit trees down there, and I wonder how many more will be destroyed by 250.]
[250: After all, I’m not a devil (dog head)]
Qi Qi tried three times but failed to pick up the fat baby, so she had to give up this method of transfer and let Haodaer follow behind her with a few cries.
While making the decision, Qi Qi had already anticipated what would happen next.
Sure enough, my naughty child's attention was too easily attracted, and he would run off track once every ten steps on average.
Either he was busy chasing butterflies or picking chestnuts, and he was having a lot of fun.
Qi Qi was angry and urged Zhima Tangyuan to hurry up.
He just roared once, but then a chestnut was stuffed into his paw, making him completely lose his temper.
"Ahh." After eating this chestnut, it's really time to go down the mountain.
"Yiyi~" Let me pick a few more? Got it~
From the top of the mountain to the distant halfway point, a total of dozens of kilometers of mountain road, the mother and son bears took three full days to travel, their speed slower than a turtle.
Since the two of them walked so slowly, the staff had already found Qiqi's new home in advance and moved the camera over there.
Netizens stare at the still picture every day, eagerly waiting, and jointly write a short poem titled "Waiting for Qi Qi and 250".
On the morning of the third day, a cute little bear appeared in the camera, and the comment section was filled with exclamation marks, thinking that the mother and son had finally arrived at their new home.
After a closer look, everyone realized it was not 250.
Although all panda babies look similar, the ones with round heads and brains are particularly cute.
But 250 is different from other bears and is very easy to identify.
He was...extremely fat.
The strange little bear that appeared in the camera was shy and introverted, with a timid look in his eyes. You could tell at a glance that it was not the e-bear in 250 who dared to bleat loudly when encountering a jackal.
The audience was mesmerized by the strange little bear and sniffed wildly across the screen. After a while, they realized:
This is the cave that Qi Qi found. Now a strange little bear appears in the camera, which means her mother is also nearby.
Giant pandas are relatively gentle in temperament and rarely attack each other except during the courtship period.
But no matter what kind of animal it is, they will be extremely ferocious when raising cubs.
If two panda mothers set their eyes on the same cave, they may fight for the territory.
The audience became more and more worried the more they thought about it, fearing that the two bear mothers would collide with each other.
Thankfully, their worst fears did not come to pass.
The mother bear arrived shortly afterwards. She had a strong desire to protect the cub. Without saying a word, she grabbed it, hugged it around the waist, and forcibly brought it back to her territory.
By noon, Qiqi arrived with 250, and there were no other bears in the new territory.
Netizens breathed a sigh of relief.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, I saw 250 sticking its butt out, sniffing around like a dog.
Following the scent left by the bear next door, I chased it all the way.
Netizen: ???
Boy, you really didn't call it 250 for nothing.
The unmanned camera responsible for filming Qi Qi's move quickly changed its target and tracked 250's movements.
Without any hesitation, he swaggered into the neighbor's territory and greeted his neighbors in a babbling voice.
【250! Tell mom what you are doing!!!】
[Stupid cub, pandas don’t need to maintain neighborly harmony, go home quickly]
[Sisters, calm down! This is not Huhu TV. Giant pandas generally do not attack their cubs, unless they are bullying another bear’s cub.]
As soon as the barrage was sent out, everyone watched as 250 used all four paws to happily run towards the introverted i-bear next door.
He used his weight advantage to push the little female bear to the ground and then pressed down on her.
[Giant bear pressing down.jpg]
The live broadcast room was silent.
You are very brave to bully the little girl bear in front of mother bear.
There's no hope. Hurry up and call Qiqi to come and rescue the baby.
Giant pandas are indeed gentle and rarely attack their own cubs except during the period of courtship between male pandas.
At this moment, 250 was wrestling and fighting with the little girl bear in front of the mother bear.
How could a mother bear with a strong protective instinct stand this?
Contrary to everyone's expectations, she endured it.
The panda glanced at the two of them, sat there, shifting back and forth, and nuzzled them with its back, looking like it wanted to move to another mountain to live.
What a sin!
Mom Bear originally planned to completely get rid of the bad boy who was harassing her daughter after moving.
As a result, on the third day after moving, a wild bear cub with the smell of a mother bear appeared nearby, and she was so angry that her head exploded.
But her little princess was a bit stubborn and insisted on going over to take a look when she smelled something, leaving her scent along the way.
As expected, the brat followed the smell and came here.
Not only did he pester his precious daughter, but he also kept dangling his annoying bear face in front of her.
"Eh?" Are you angry?
"Eehee?" Are you really angry?
"Yiyiyi~" Let me see~
Xiongxiong let out a loud bark in anger.
"Woof!" Why are there bears in the world who hate cats so much!
[Burning rage.jpg]
Unfortunately, the new home chosen by the two mother bears is the area with the best bamboo growth on the entire mountain, and will produce the most plump winter bamboo shoots.
Qiqi definitely doesn't want to move, and Xiongxiong doesn't want to give up this bamboo forest.
The only thing I can do is swallow my anger and tell myself that out of sight, out of mind.
The two little bears live next to each other, they are so happy!
If Xiong Xiong is not careful, his precious daughter will be kidnapped by the wild boy next door.
The powerless and furious Xiong Xiong was furious... He was very angry and started grinding his teeth with the thickest bamboo.
After spending some time with Ziwei, Yu Yiyun discovered that Ziwei was a beautiful little female bear who was two months older than herself.
The sexual characteristics of giant pandas in their cub stage are not very obvious.
It is common for male bear cubs to be mistaken for female bears, and female bear cubs to be mistaken for male bears.
Yu Yiyun confirmed that Ziwei was more than two months older than herself by observing the speed at which she changed her teeth.
He then observed her tail, which was obviously longer and thinner than his own, and only then did he make a judgment based on various signs.
Beautiful sister, love love ~
"Woo woo?" Where are we going to play today?
Ziwei has been completely led wild by the sesame dumplings. She can't stay at home every day and only wants to explore the mountains and forests.
"Eeyore!" Go find my good friend!
Yu Yijun wagged his tail happily and climbed up the mountain with Ziwei.
Mommy suddenly took her to a new home, and Yu Yijun left in such a hurry that she forgot to say hello to the little panda.
How could they just disband the honey theft gang they had built up over a whole autumn?
Yu Yiyun is a sentimental little bear.
It's not because of its bulky body that it's difficult for a bear to steal honey.
[Bear shaking his head.jpg]
Yu Yiyun followed the smell and climbed up about two thousand meters, when he suddenly froze in place.
The smell is gone.
To be precise, it's not that the smell is gone.
Instead, there was a stronger smell of a male bear mixed in front of him, which seriously interfered with Zhima Tangyuan's judgment.
He looked around in confusion, seeing the monotonous scenery around him, not knowing where to go.
Relying on the experiences of past lives, Yu Yiyun really did not have the confidence to choose the direction through his own judgment.
Sesame Tangyuan hesitated for a few seconds, then stuck out his butt and crawled on the ground to sniff, trying to eliminate the male bear's interference and find the scent of himself and his mother.
Ziwei imitated him and stuck her butt out as well.
The two little bears lay side by side, their short tails swaying left and right in tacit coordination, like two signal receivers.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work well.
Yu Yiyun did not find the scent of herself and her mother, but instead determined the direction in which the male panda left and smelled the foul smell of blood.
The male panda was injured.
The wound was not treated promptly and showed signs of ulceration and infection.
Yu Yiyun sniffed his black nose and easily determined the direction where the male panda left. He turned to Ziwei and made two babbling sounds, asking if he wanted to go over and take a look.
Ziwei's happy "wooooooo" was obviously not thinking at all.
Sesame Tangyuan made his own decision, changed direction, and followed the smell to the male panda.
Not long after they walked, the two little bears heard heavy breathing, with obvious restlessness and pain.
The two little bears became alert at the same time and moved closer to the source of the sound with light steps.
I vaguely saw the male panda leaning against a big tree. He was neither sleeping nor eating bamboo, but rubbing against it.
There was half a bamboo stuck below his shoulder, and it seemed that he was accidentally pierced by the bamboo while foraging.
The male panda wanted to get the bamboo out, but he had no intention of "pulling" it out. He just used his claws and teeth to gnaw and break it, resulting in only a short piece of bamboo left in front of him.
The male panda was in great pain and rubbed the exposed bamboo on his back with his trunk, which made the wound worse and worse.
Judging from the black blood scab on the wound, he has been in this condition for several days.
Both blood loss and wound infection are fatal to pandas.
Without effective medical treatment, male pandas may not even survive until winter.
The male panda was in extreme pain. When he saw the two cubs, he roared at them without thinking.
iXiong Ziwei was startled and rolled behind Sesame Tangyuan.
Zhima Tangyuan could naturally tell that the male bear was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Instead of being afraid, he moved closer and carefully observed his injured parts.
The male panda was lucky. Although he was pierced by the split bamboo, his internal organs and limbs were not injured.
If effectively treated, recovery will not affect survival in the wild.
The weather has turned cooler recently, and the wound infection is under control. It should heal with some medicine.
"Woof!"
The male panda, tortured by pain, was desperate and in pain. He roared at the strange cub to vent his emotions.
"Eeyee."
Instead of being scared away, Yu Yiyun made a gentle voice to coax the male panda to be patient for a while and she would wave someone to him immediately.
The male panda seemed to understand and slowly calmed down.
After calming the injured bear, Yu Yiyun climbed up a tree and looked for the infrared camera used for patrolling the mountain.
In recent years, the reserve has banned logging and carried out afforestation on a large scale, with very obvious results.
The areas at lower altitudes are completely covered with lush bamboo forests and trees.
The whereabouts of pandas are unpredictable, and it is difficult to capture them completely using patrol drones.
The male bear has been on the move since being injured.
It was the peak period for pandas to migrate to lower altitudes recently, and the staff on duty detected the signal but could not determine whether he was injured.
Yu Yiyun lay on the top of the mountain and looked for a while, but found no trace of the drone.
He frowned, carefully recalled the daily work content of his colleague next door, and suddenly had an idea, and climbed down from the tree.
In late autumn and early winter, to ensure that each panda finds a suitable habitat.
The conservation team will change into "work" clothes and go into the forest to spy on the placement of the giant pandas.
Yu Yiyun spread out his four paws, making cries similar to crying for help all the way, and closely observed whether there were any animals behaving strangely around.
Not long after, two "deer" with a disproportionate body shape and smell of excrement, which were walking upright in the mountains, rushed to Sesame Dumpling in a hurry.
The upright deer are patrolling Qiqi and Xiongxiong's new territory to ensure that they and their cubs can spend the winter safely.
Hearing the cub's cry, they guessed that the foolish 250 was in danger, and hurriedly followed the sound to look for 250.
The terrain in the mountains was rugged and rugged. After running for a while, the two men ran out of breath and took off the animal masks that covered their faces.
As a result, as soon as he took it off, his eyes met with the gorgeous and unharmed 250.
The scene was extremely awkward for a while.
The conservation group insisted on wearing the animal suits even though they knew their disguises were poor, mainly to keep the pandas from recognizing humans.
At this moment, when 250 see the human head and deer body, will they think that humans and deer can hybridize?
“…”
Yu Yiyun looked him up and down, and then from bottom to top, secretly thanking his lucky that his own Hu Zi was born unfriendly, thus avoiding leaving behind the dark history of being a freak.
Now was not the time to laugh at the dark history of his peers. Yu Yiyun made a "yiyi" sound at them, turned around and motioned for the little guy to follow him.
“Wait, 250!”
The staff member, who was running out of breath, called out loudly to Sesame Rice Balls.
Yu Yiyun's steps obviously paused for a few seconds, and he turned around and glared at them both.
——Those who raise South China tigers, calling me 'pig' is already too much, you actually call me '250'.
Don’t I want to save face?
Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls was so angry that he gritted his teeth and ran even faster!
The staff only chased after it after hearing the cry of 250. They subconsciously thought that the panda cub was in danger, so they chased after it as fast as they could.
When they were led by 250, they saw the male panda under the tree and Ziwei squatting in the distance and waiting quietly, and they naturally thought that the two cubs were threatened by the male panda.
"Go! Go! Go!"
The staff member put on a headgear and prepared to drive away the male panda, but was roared at by the male panda.
They patrol this mountain area all year round and know every panda in the mountain.
This male panda has a gentlemanly personality and rarely roars except during the courtship period. What happened today?
The two men took a closer look and found that the panda was injured. They quickly took out their walkie-talkies to contact the headquarters and asked them to send someone to bring the panda down the mountain for treatment.
After arranging the treatment for the panda, the two upright deer turned around and looked at the panda cubs that were feeding on them openly.
"Woo woo?"
Ziwei stared at the humans curiously. She didn't know what species they were and had never seen one in the mountains before.
"Yiyi." They are little people. You can go to them if you are hurt.
"Yiyiyi." Don't look for them normally, they will rub you from head to toe. They will also force you to do a physical examination and then publish your weight, without respecting your privacy.
"Hi, 250."
One of the little people greeted him.
"babble!"
You are only 250! Your whole family is 250!
"Don't yell like that in front of the kids." The colleague nudged him with his elbow, leaned over and asked, "Did you bring us here on purpose? You're such a smart little bear."
The panda protection program has been carried out for many years and has been quite successful in popularization.
Even the most desperate poachers would not dare to target the beast that is destined for life in prison.
Some smart pandas know that humans will provide food and help, and will take the initiative to find human bases.
An early panda documentary filmed an injured panda seeking treatment, staying at a rescue station to eat steamed buns. Even after his injury healed, he still refused to leave, forcing the staff to carry him up the mountain and release him overnight.
However, this is the first time that the staff have seen a little bear seeking help from humans for its own kind.
"Eh~"
Zhima Tangyuan stood up proudly, smelling the food, and immediately reached into their animal suits, took out two panda steamed buns, broke them apart and gave half to Ziwei.
"you……"
The staff didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to complain about him blatantly stealing the Wowotou first, or complain about him taking two but only giving half to Pengxiong.
Ziwei, who had no sense of "fairness", ate the food with great relish, and ran away after the sesame rice balls, asking as she walked, "Where can I hunt for this kind of steamed buns?"
"Yiyi~" Steamed buns cannot be obtained through hunting.
"Yiyiyi!" We can rob the little people every day!
