Chapter 123 Qinling Giant Panda (Part 9)
"Yes, they should be father and son."
Little Man Mi didn't realize that Zhima Tangyuan had been breached, and continued to explain to himself, "We checked the historical location of Furui... the adult male panda, to see where he was injured. As we were looking through it, we found that his movement trajectory was quite interesting."
The person next to him became interested, "Oh? Tell me more about it."
"You're restless, running around all over the mountains. Which bear are you thinking of?"
"Well……"
The forest ranger who helped release the panda heard this and silently looked at the 250 people who were surrounded by the male panda.
It turns out that Zhima Tangyuan's bad habit of fooling around was inherited from his father.
"Around the autumn of the year before last, when the breeding season had just begun, Fu Rui came over to stay by Qi Qi's side."
"He was chased away by another bear once. He ate bamboo for two days and came back. He fought his rival for three hundred rounds and seemed to have won in the end."
"Anyway, since then, Fu Rui has been staying next to Qi Qi for about ten days. We speculate that he is afraid that someone else might steal his wife."
In addition to the matching positioning records, the rescue station staff unanimously agreed that Fury and 250 had many similarities.
Good physical fitness and durable.
250 is an active eater, and enjoys eating everything, whether meat or vegetables. His physical fitness is far ahead of other bears of the same age.
In the cold winter, when other bears stayed in bamboo-growing areas, he braved the wind and snow and traveled hundreds of kilometers to steal meat from the tiger king next door.
There is no shortage of food in the territory, but the little bear is too greedy.
The greediness in this aspect is very similar to Fury.
In terms of body size, Fu Rui is not the most outstanding among pandas of the same age.
But he is a nimble fat bear, weighing more than 200 pounds, and is very agile.
The rescue team wanted to give Fury a positioning chip, and they tried for half a year, but Fury managed to escape successfully every time.
The desperate staff used food as an inducement and successfully put the positioning chip on him.
Fu Rui has an extremely strong vitality. Even when his body was pierced by bamboo, he was still able to move with the injury and persist for so many days.
The rescue team brought him back to the base. They were worried that Fury's wounds had not been treated in time and might leave sequelae.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after the operation, Fu Rui ate 50 kilograms of bamboo and six steamed buns, and drank milk from an iron basin in big gulps.
Seeing him fall asleep right after eating, the staff members watching all had the same thought:
You and 250 are indeed biological children.
For various reasons, experienced rescue teams will choose a location closest to the place where they were found when releasing recovered wild animals back into the wild, so that they can better adapt to their original habitat.
The Qinling Mountains are covered with dense forests and there is no way to pass the road.
The rescue station sent out six strong men, plus two forest rangers who often crossed mountains and had excellent physical fitness, and they were able to barely carry the wooden box containing Fury.
"Yo-hey!"
"Oh my god, life is too heavy to bear."
In the wooden box, Furui, who had gained at least 20 pounds, was munching on a steamed bun, happily enjoying the treatment of being carried in a sedan chair by eight people.
After staggering around, they finally arrived at the release site. The eight strong men had crawled dozens of kilometers along the mountain road with heavy loads. They were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs and lay down in all directions, gasping for breath.
The accompanying keeper opened the door of the box with tears in his eyes, and was about to say goodbye to Furui, whom he had raised for four months without sleep or food.
"Forry, you...uh."
Who could have expected that Furui, who was throwing a tantrum at the rescue station yesterday, tugging at the keeper's clothes pitifully and trying his best to get a stable job, would disappear without a trace the moment the box door was opened after discovering that the cruel keeper really didn't intend to feed him.
The teary-eyed breeder: …
Who understands? My feelings were toyed with by the giant panda.
Scum Bear!!!
A colleague who often patrolled the mountains patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be sad, you'll get used to it. Every time 250 approaches me, I'm overjoyed and think he must be the best person in the world with me."
"Isn't it?" The breeder's eyes were blurred with tears.
My colleague sighed, "Alas, he took the steamed bread from my pocket and never looked back."
The two people whose emotions were toyed with by the panda father and son looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were silent, just resonating with each other.
The keeper was crying, but she also knew that it was definitely a good sign that the rescued panda was willing to leave the box on its own initiative.
Some wild animals are rescued by humans and stay in a comfortable environment for a long time. They are likely to lose their wildness and competitiveness and are unable to face the cruel nature again.
Out of concern and responsibility for the pandas, staff will stay nearby for the next few days to observe the adaptation of the released pandas.
Several staff members tracked Fu Rui's collar and found that as soon as he returned to the wild, he began to run around everywhere, just like a Qinling gay.
To give an inappropriate example, it is like being in jail for several months and finally being 'released'.
Fury's injuries have completely healed and he moves very quickly, which is enough to prove that his wildness has not been diminished much.
After strolling from noon to dark, Fu Rui finally got tired of walking and found a bamboo forest to start chewing bamboo.
After four months, Fu Rui finally showed a little bit of discomfort when he started to break bamboo by himself again.
He broke off four bamboos in succession, chewed them twice, but still felt the taste was not right.
"Hoooo..." Wait, is this what bamboo smells like...
Fu Rui threw away the bamboo, got up again and inspected the bamboo forest. He picked a bamboo shoot, peeled off the shell, and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Huuu?" Something's not right either.
Fu Rui stopped eating bamboo shoots and looked around again, as if looking for something.
In a trance, he saw a round yellow thing in the distance. He excitedly dropped half a bamboo shoot and ran over using all four paws.
Just as I was about to pick it up, I realized it was a pile of poop.
“Hoooo!”
Fu Rui rolled over in anger, and reluctantly returned to his previous position. He picked up the discarded half bamboo shoot and continued to gnaw on it, feeling angry while eating.
Seeing him eating bamboo shoots passively, the onlookers were reminded of a certain 250.
If they were not father and son, there would be no need for genetics to exist.
The staff member pushed the camera over and whispered:
"Fu Rui is so stupid, he probably mistook that piece of poop for a steamed bun."
"Normal. His bear's eyesight isn't very good. 250 even mistook the red panda's head for a beehive."
"Hahahaha don't make me laugh!"
They gathered there, gloating and making fun of Forry.
Suddenly, Fury raised his big face and looked far away in the direction of the moon, as if he had received some call.
In just a few seconds, Fury made a decision, threw away half of the bamboo, and began to climb towards the wild fruit forest.
The staff who were observing secretly widened their eyes at the same time.
You know, mountain pandas usually live near bamboo forests and survive mainly by 'hiding'.
Places with more fruit trees and bushes are often home to more ferocious hunters, and smart bears will never approach them on their own initiative.
Giant pandas are large in size and have a single diet, so they do not compete with other hunters and basically do not participate in the predation chain in nature.
Why did Fury take the initiative to approach the black bear's habitat for no reason?
The accompanying staff felt it was strange and stared at Fury, frightened to the point of being frightened.
Fortunately, Fury stopped halfway up the mountain, as if he had lost his direction or was simply hungry.
He nibbled on the bamboo for a few more times until dawn, then he became alert again and ran in a certain direction at a faster speed.
The staff hurried over and saw from a distance that 250 was lying on his back with his belly up on a huge rock cliff, sleeping so soundly that he didn't know what year it was.
Even from dozens of meters away, you can hear the rhythmic snoring of 250. Picking up the telescope, the little bear's belly rises and falls, and its feet dangle next to it.
As a weak little bear, he was too careless.
Relying on her cuteness, she sleeps without restraint.
Fury ran to 250, walked around the protruding rock, and got close to the sleeping 250 to smell the scent.
250 turned over twice and was finally woken up. He complained loudly to Furui and stretched out his short claws to scratch him.
Fury was tickled twice, but instead of getting angry, he came over and licked 250's fur affectionately.
The little man who was observing secretly couldn't help but sigh:
"They have a really good relationship as father and son."
“Eehee?!”
250 yelled.
Wait, who is the father and son?
Sesame Tangyuan was so frightened that all his sleepiness disappeared. He stood there in a daze, allowing Furui to come over and lick his fur several times.
“Hoo ...
During his recovery period, Fury gained 20 pounds and looked even more adorable, with none of the fierce look he had four months ago.
Four months ago, Fury was suffering from an injury and his temper became extremely irritable. When he found the little bear approaching, he started yelling without saying a word.
Fury still remembers that the little bear was not angry at all and comforted him with a soft and soothing voice.
It didn't take long for him to find someone who could provide rescue.
Giant pandas have a certain level of intelligence, and Fury is relatively smart, so he quickly realized that the little bear had saved his life.
Life-saving grace! I must repay you with my body!
Back in the wild, he has been catching 250 tracks.
"Huuu~"Brother!
"Huuu!" From now on I will be your little brother!
Fury stretched out his paws and hugged the little bear, rubbing it hard.
Zhima Tangyuan is still immersed in the heavy blow of the good "father-son relationship" and is unwilling to face the reality.
——Why is my dad such a fool?
Over the next few days, the staff stayed in the woods and observed closely.
After Fu Rui was released into the forest, he was no different from a wild panda except that he liked to stick to 250.
Although wild pandas, especially male pandas, like to live alone.
There is no record of a male panda with a cub in existing video footage.
However, in the neighboring South China Tiger Rewilding Experimental Area, male tigers have already started raising cubs.
Male pandas are more docile than male tigers and theoretically have the qualifications to be male mothers.
Besides, although there is no record of a male panda raising a cub, there is evidence that an adult male panda will not attack a sub-adult panda and may even allow the cub to live in his own habitat.
Many facts have proved that the "solitary" and "social" attributes of animals are not completely absolute.
When there is enough food, tigers can live and eat together in harmony.
Today, bamboos grow more and more luxuriantly on the Qinling Mountains, and pandas no longer have to fight for food. Little pandas like Sesame Tangyuan and Ziwei will surely appear again.
The rescue team did not interfere with Fury's unusual friendship behavior. After confirming that he could survive independently, they happily went down the mountain.
Now, sesame dumplings are in trouble.
"Eehee?" You just leave without caring about my life or death?
"Eeyore!" This bear is really annoyed by the cat!
For several days in a row, no matter where Yu Yiyun went, Fu Rui followed her like a follower.
If you just follow, that's fine.
Sesame Tangyuan climbed to a high place to steal honey, and Furui volunteered to help.
As a result, Yu Yijun had already stolen the honey, but he was still hanging there, being stung all over the head by the angry little bees.
The giant panda has thick skin and flesh, and ordinary attacks cannot penetrate its protective layer.
But there were a few little bees that chose to sting places that were easy to attack, causing Fury to scream in pain.
Not long after rolling back to Yu Yiyun, Fu Rui's eyelids both swelled up at the same time, looking like two fish bubbles.
The pad of flesh that was stung by the bee had noticeably grown fatter, and it was in so much pain that it dared not touch the ground.
“Eee…Eeeeeee!”
Yu Yijun originally wanted to scold him, but seeing how miserable he looked, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Eeyee!" Silly bear laughed!
After laughing enough, Sesame Tangyuan took the bubble-eyed giant panda to the river bank and used the cool river water to relieve the pain.
The river is where all the small animals in the forest gather. It has a wide view and beautiful scenery, and there are several cameras set up on both sides.
A panda walking on three legs was photographed next to 250 people, limping to the river bank to soak in the water, and netizens were puzzled.
[Is that panda lame? Where is the rescue station? Come out and work! ]
[Back upstairs, the panda is called Furui. The rescue station just cured it and released it. It is still under observation. The rescue station found that the panda had a lame leg. The rescue station investigated the situation immediately and found that it was just stung by a bee.]
[I saw the rescue station’s Weibo post, hahaha! 250 poked a beehive, and his father got stung]
[Is Fu Rui 250's biological father? Look closely and he really looks like him. Look more carefully... This is the first time I've seen such three-dimensional dark circles under his eyes]
[Both of his eyes were stung, and they were symmetrical hahahaha]
[Our 250 strength is a pitfall~]
The cool river water helped ease the pain, but Fury was stung right in the middle of his paw pad and couldn't walk normally for a while.
Sesame Tangyuan looked around and found that this place was very close to his home, so he took the cheap father he found and went home to live with his mother.
There were two bears in the territory. Qiqi sat with his legs apart in a pile of bamboo, chewing the bamboo as if there were no bears around.
Ziwei Xiong, who sneaked out of the house, found that Qi Qi was only busy eating bamboo and had no intention of expelling her, so she found a corner and lay down with her paws tucked in, waiting for Zhizhi Tangyuan to come home and play with her.
Smelling the scent of sesame dumplings from afar, Ziwei was more excited than Qiqi. She rushed over and shouted to join Little Pengxiong.
Qiqi put down the bamboo, glanced at Ziwei who rushed out, and picked up the bamboo again to continue chewing.
The comments teased, "The world is in turmoil, but Qiqi is eating and drinking," and "I have seen many abnormal bears, but only Qiqi always maintains my understanding of pandas."
But as soon as the barrage was sent out, Qi Qi smelled the scent of the strange male bear and rushed out as well.
"Woof!"
When Qiqi saw the male bear next to her baby cub, she immediately pounced over, shielded Ziwei behind her, and roared at the male bear to drive him away.
"Hoooo~" Honey, it's me~
The male bear recognized Qi Qi and tried to awaken his ex-wife's beautiful memories of that autumn.
Obviously, Fury's awakening failed.
"Woof!"
Strange enemy bear, get out of my house!
Qi Qi is young, beautiful, and very strong, a true cat and bear fan.
During the breeding season, just releasing a signal can easily attract countless young bears.
There were so many male bears coming and going that Qi Qi had no idea who won the battle against the group of bears and successfully went on a date with her.
As for the cub's father...
What?
Wasn’t this cub the result of me, a bear, going through 200 days of hard pregnancy and holding it in for three days before I gave birth?
What effort did he, the male bear, put in? !
"Woof woof!" The enemy bears retreated!
“Hoooo…”
Fu Rui's heart was broken into pieces, and he felt as aggrieved as a 200-pound fat man.
He lowered his head sadly and saw Ziwei running over, circling around the sesame dumplings and rubbing his nose affectionately.
The two little bears said hello and ran away happily.
Fury was even more hurt.
“Hoooo…”
Your mother is mean to me, don’t you do anything about it?
Sesame Tangyuan, who had already run a long way, ignored his father's helpless cry for help and was only focused on playing the tail-stepping game with Ziwei.
After nightfall, Zhima Tangyuan tricked the black bear with food as usual and asked it to feed the panda cub it had picked up.
After being deceived so many times, the black bear has become accustomed to it and even summed up a feeding pattern.
As long as you show your dissatisfaction with the bamboo, you can get the steamed buns hidden by the black and white dumpling.
As the saying goes, birds die for food. For the sake of delicious steamed buns, black bears will fall into the trap every time even though they know that the black and white buns have ulterior motives.
Over time, the little black bear next to the black bear also knew that its mother had to feed its black and white "little brother" at night.
The little black bear didn't understand why his mother refused to keep his younger brother by her side, leaving him without a companion.
Every day when it is feeding time, before the mother black bear takes action, the little black bear runs over first, jumping up and down to greet the black and white ball.
As they gradually became more familiar with each other, the slightly larger black and white ball would even play wrestling and hide-and-seek games with it, which was so much fun!
That day, Yu Yiyun fed the cubs and found that the little black bear was still hugging her legs and acting coquettishly.
After eating the meat, the female black bear lay there digesting the food, with no intention of attacking him.
According to research, it takes humans 21 days to develop a habit. It seems that black bears take even less time to develop a habit. They completely accept the reality in less than 10 days.
Seeing that the mother and cub were lying down, Zhima Tangyuan decided not to leave in a hurry. He held the cub and chatted with the black bear.
"Yiyi." Xiongxiong, is this the only baby you have in your litter?
"Yiyi~" The bear on the opposite hill gave birth to twins.
"Uh wow!" You're so noisy!
"Eh?" Are you asking me how I know?
"Eeyee, eyeeee~" In my previous life, I was a tiger there and petted its little bear.
"Yiyi~" Your little bear is so cute, can I introduce some friends to it?
"Wow!"
The little black bear barked in cooperation.
"Eeyore." But there's a bad bear on the other side, trying to steal the territory my mom left for me...
Yu Yiyun opened up and told Xiongxiong about "my past with the black bear".
Just as the conversation started, the black bear couldn't stand it anymore, rubbed his round belly, got up, and left with his daughter.
"Eeyee!"
See you tomorrow, Xiongxiong!
Zhima Tangyuan watched the black bear leave, with a lot to say, and lowered his head to chatter with the cub in his arms.
After bleating twice, he found the one-month-old panda cub in his arms, looking at him with its eyes wide open.
No matter whether you can understand it or not, you should just be extremely focused.
"Eeyore~" Little bear, you are so cute!
“Hey…hey!” Cute!
"Eeyore!" Yes, yes, yes, super cute!
The black and white ball, which has just turned one month old, has basically been dyed successfully and is covered with black and white fur.
As the temperature rises, the little dumplings are not so afraid of the cold and will not freeze to death easily even if left alone.
However, pandas are animals that develop relatively slowly.
Cats and dogs that are one month old can already run and jump.
A one-month-old giant panda cannot even stand up. It has to wait until three months before it slowly learns to crawl and stand, and only learns to walk when it is a little older.
Wild giant pandas develop slightly faster than captive pandas, but even so, it takes at least three months for them to start walking.
So, this black and white ball in Yu Yiyun's arms is a real cute waste, who needs to be held by the big bear when walking.
Thanks to Yu Yiyun's dedicated care, the baby, who weighed less than 100 grams when he was born, now weighs two or three kilograms, and it is gradually becoming difficult to hold him.
When he grows up a little bit more, he won’t be able to stay in the red panda’s nest anymore!
A few days ago, Yu Yiyun and Ziwei worked together to build a nest next to the red panda's nest, and continued to be neighbors.
Fortunately, they were not caught on camera, otherwise, if the two underage bears were building a nest, humans would definitely think they were spirits and were playing the panda version of house.
"Yiyi~"We're full, let's go home!
Yu Yiyun rubbed the chubby kid and happily returned to the cave.
Before he could get close, Yu Yiyun stopped abruptly.
In the darkness, with his highly myopic eyes, he saw a long yellow animal moving around in the newly built nest.
Zhima Tangyuan sniffed carefully, opened his eyes wide and tried to identify it, and recognized that it was a yellow-throated marten.
A small animal not much bigger than a weasel, with a peak weight of only 10 kilograms, it poses no threat to adult giant pandas.
However, during the breeding season, wild yellow-throated martens will take advantage of the mother pandas leaving the nest to prey on panda cubs that cannot walk.
It must have smelled the scent of a panda here, which is why it was searching around the cave.
"babble!"
If tonight, the black bear had not been too full to listen to his nonsense, and Yu Yiyun had not been obsessed with sucking the cub, and had returned the cub to the den on time as usual.
By the next morning, only a bear skin was left at the scene.
Yu Yiyun became angrier the more he thought about it. He chased the yellow-throated marten for several kilometers, gently patting the frightened cub with his claws.
"Yiyi~" Baby, don't be afraid!
"Yiyi!" It's so dangerous in the mountains. I will never leave you alone as a bear again.
Zhima Tangyuan learned his lesson and decided not to leave the little bear alone in the nest.
Although the full-moon little bear cannot walk, it has certain survival abilities and can be taken with you to travel around the country.
The next morning, sleepy Sesame Tangyuan brought the little bear, who came from nowhere, back home and planned to let him live in the tree hole in his home.
I walked to the tree hole and saw that there was no room left.
Fury was sleeping inside, holding up his paw that was stung by a bee. His eyelids were so swollen that it was hard to tell whether he had opened his eyes or not.
Qi Qi lay carefree on Fu Rui's soft belly, holding half a bamboo in his hand, snoring comfortably.
"babble!"
Sesame Tangyuan held the baby in his arms and twisted his fat waist to squeeze in between the two of them.
I'm not here to join this family, I'm here to break it up~
