Chapter 134 Qinling Giant Panda (Twenty)
"Eeyore?" How wonderful it would be to go to the West to obtain the scriptures? After landing, you will ascend to heaven as a civil servant with a stable establishment.
"Yiyi...Yiyi!" You should go to the grassroots departments of Wuzhi Mountain to train for a few hundred years first...Pear Monkey, don't run away!
Yu Yiyun tried to introduce the "benefits" of being a civil servant to his good friend Monkey, but the little monkey had no Buddhist nature at all.
Before the sesame rice dumpling finished eating, he hooked his tail on the branch and couldn't wait to get close to the beautiful female monkey.
Looking at its condition, I'm afraid there's no chance of it converting to Buddhism.
"Eeh!" The sesame rice dumpling was instantly possessed by Sun Wukong and turned into a classic emoticon package.
[I'm so annoyed.gif]
The golden monkey "flew" too fast. Yu Yiyun searched for it for a long time but couldn't find which tree it was hiding in for a date, so she had to return to the tree hole the same way she came.
"Eeyore~" baby!
From a distance, the sesame dumplings made a sound, calling the little bear.
Normally, if the little bear senses the slightest breath, he will immediately roll and crawl out, throw himself into his mother's arms, act coquettishly, and beg for food.
Today, Yu Yiyun shouted until her throat was almost dry, but there was no sign of the little bear.
Ziwei put her paws together, squatted beside the tree hole, and curled up feeling a little uneasy.
"Eh?" What happened?
Yu Yiyun sensed something was wrong, and hurried over, sticking his round head into the tree hole.
"Yiyi!" Where's the little bear!
My baby is lost again?!
After the third time, Yu Yiyun was no longer so... well, still very panicked.
He pulled his head out of the tree hole and circled around the half-dead tree root, trying to catch the scent of the beast.
After circling around several times, it turned out that there were no other wild animals within a few hundred meters except the three bears.
Zhima Tangyuan made a careful analysis and followed the Little Bear's disorganized footprints. After tracking for several hundred meters towards the cliff, the Bear's footprints suddenly stopped.
After careful confirmation, Yu Yiyun came to the conclusion: the little bear walked here and disappeared out of thin air!
"babble?"
The little bear frowned and felt something was wrong. He lay on the ground with his butt sticking out, carefully analyzing the scent left at the place where the little bear disappeared.
With her keen sense of smell, Yu Yiyun was able to eliminate the interference of the smell of a large amount of herbivorous animal excrement and smell a few traces of the scent of the little man.
My goodness, that's okay.
Yu Yiyun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly dropped halfway.
Our giant pandas are revered as national treasures. Look at the current publicity and attention they receive. Which poacher would dare to touch this 'beast that could end up in jail for the rest of its life'?
Even if poachers don't care about their lives, no one dares to buy panda products. At most, they will buy a few Bing Dwen Dwens, or wait for the country to implement the one-family-one-panda policy.
Judging by the smell, the little people who took the cubs away were all "crazy illegitimate fans" who were secretly following along the way.
At present, the little bear is over half a year old and is able to eat independently.
The wild population is so small that the staff of the nature reserve would never choose this time to capture the little bears and raise them artificially, unless they have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
They deliberately abducted the little bear in order to obtain the growth data of wild panda cubs.
'call out--'
The strange throwing sound interrupted Yu Yiyun's thoughts.
Sesame Tangyuan looked in the direction of the sound and found a steamed bun lying quietly in front of him.
“…”
Are your methods of kidnapping the little bear so clumsy?
What idiot would be fooled?!
Seeing that the 250 pairs of steamed buns were indifferent, the staff hiding in the dark made another effort and continued to use food to lure the greedy little bear.
"Swoosh, swoosh—"
Sesame glutinous rice ball blinked, stared at the mooncake lying in front of it, and was shaken!
Moon, mooncake!
Cunning little man!
Tears of excitement rolled down his mouth. The greedy little bear took two steps forward and was about to stretch out his paws.
As a result, I took a closer look and saw two words pressed out of the mold on the front of the mooncake:
Five kernels.
Yu Yiyun decisively retracted her claws to prevent humans from misunderstanding the panda's taste.
Even dogs won’t eat five-nut mooncakes.
"250 was clearly shaken just now. Is it true that the five-kernel one is not effective?"
"I told you that five-kernel soup tastes bad! Try using lotus paste with egg yolk?"
'call out--'
In the blink of an eye, there was another mooncake in front of me, with the two big words "Lotus Seed Paste" written on the front.
"babble!"
Despicable little man!
As a bear who is free from vulgarity, Yu Yiyun is of course...
He picked up the lotus seed paste mooncake decisively, ate it all in two bites, and even picked up the fallen crumbs and ate them all.
"Eat it, eat it!"
"Hurry up and continue, lead him into the wooden box."
"Luring the bear into the box? 250 is so smart, will he buy into it?"
"Don't worry, we have a trump card."
The conservation team keeps a close eye on the sesame dumplings and have already figured out the bear's taste.
Next, the little man used honey, fruit, meat, and steamed corn bread as bait to guide him to a large wooden box padded with bamboo.
Yu Yijun came to the front of the wooden box, his movements obviously hesitant.
He could probably guess that the protection team wanted to get his physical data.
In addition, Zhima Tangyuan is already one and a half years old! He likes to go everywhere, so it is very difficult to track him down.
In order to better protect pandas and provide timely rescue, staff will do their best to put positioning collars on cats of appropriate age.
Fitting wild animals with positioning collars can help humans better observe and protect animals.
However, Yu Yiyun had been a beast for several lifetimes, but had never worn a positioning collar.
Even though he knew the principle of the positioning collar, the unknown still frightened the bear, and it hesitated and was unwilling to get into the wooden box.
Want a kiss.
Just forget it?
A certain dumpling put away its claws, thinking with a clear conscience: You guys fed me honey and steamed bread for free~
"Eeyore!" Goodbye!
The cheeky little bear turned around, ate everything and prepared to run away.
Suddenly, the bamboo leaves inside the box moved.
"Hey~"
The little bear pushed aside the bamboo leaves, poked out his furry head, and called for his mommy excitedly.
The standing deer who was observing secretly said proudly:
"Just say I have a trump card, right?"
"Hey hey!" Mommy, I'm tied up!
"Hey, hey!" Save the bear!
The cunning and despicable little man wrapped a woolen scarf around the little bear's waist and fixed him loosely in the corner of the box, tempting 250 to come in.
Sesame dumplings: You are so cruel!
"Yiyi!" Stupid boy, I'm here to rescue you!
There was no way out as the "hostage" was in the hands of the vicious kidnappers.
He had originally planned to run away after eating the sesame dumplings, but was forced to give in and had no choice but to crawl into the box.
The moment the hind paws stepped into the box, the wooden door closed as expected, leaving a few gaps for breathing.
The little people hiding in the dark rushed up from all directions and obtained the physical data of Sesame Tangyuan as quickly as possible.
The northern slope of the Qinling Mountains is steep, making it difficult to move pandas up and down the mountain.
In order to obtain the physical data of Sesame Tangyuan, the protection team held a three-day and three-night seminar, prepared eight plans, and finally chose the one with the highest success rate.
They weighed the box and the bamboo inside in advance, and placed an industrial weighing scale at the bottom in advance, and put the little bear in first.
The little bear, who is more than half a year old, is cared for like a pig. He weighs nearly 40 kilograms and is more robust than other captive bears of the same age.
After getting the little bear's physical data, they tied the cub in a box to attract the ultimate goal - 250.
The moment 250 entered the box, the number on the weighing scale shifted two spaces.
"How much does 250 weigh?"
"Wait a minute, my eyes are blurry." The upright deer who was in charge of reading the data asked uncertainly, "How much should a normal one and a half year old bear weigh?"
"About 100 pounds. Male bears are a bit fatter, so more than 100 pounds is normal."
"It's okay, it seems that our 250 is within the normal range."
She was obviously relieved. Not only the standing deer around her, but even the 250 bears were a little curious.
"How much is his one hundred?"
"198."
“…”
“…”
The onlookers looked at each other and fell silent.
Although about 100 pounds is within the normal range, isn't Fat Bear too much?
"Eeyee~"
Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball covered his fat face and refused to accept the reality.
If he had known that he would be measured in weight today, he would have eaten less bamboo, bamboo shoots, lamb, wild pears, steamed corn bread, moon cakes, honey and meat.
After reporting the names of the dishes he had eaten today, Yu Yiyun felt that the data obtained by Xiao Renmi was not credible!
Of the 198 kilograms, at least 98 kilograms are undigested food.
Sesame glutinous rice dumpling, which is twice as fat as other bears, tries hard to deceive itself: as long as it goes through metabolism, it will turn into a small bear.
right!
I am the thinnest among all the pandas!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Zhima Tangyuan tried to deceive himself, he could not change the fact that he was registered as No. 198.
The staff in charge of registration even hesitated whether to round up the amount to an even number and directly registered 200 kilograms.
"Eeyee!"
Bad guy, I will remember you!
After entering weight and approximate height, the staff quietly inserted a syringe from the gap in the wooden box and collected a blood sample from Zhima Tangyuan.
Before Yu Yiyun realized the pain, another injection device came in through the gap, close to the little bear's shoulder. Finding the right angle, the chip was pushed diagonally into his body from bottom to top.
Animal tracking technology has been improved over decades, from the initial bulky, obvious, and easy-to-fall-off collars to small chips as big as a grain of rice that do not affect the body and daily activities after being buried under the skin, and there is no need to worry about them falling off.
It is widely used in domestic pets, livestock, and wild animals.
The navigation system carried by the chip has also been changed from GPS to Beidou system.
The latest Beidou system can not only display the plane position, but even the vertical terrain.
It can even handle a magical 6D city like Chongqing with ease, let alone the Qinling Mountains.
The doctor in charge of injecting the chip slowly pulled out the syringe and made sure that the chip had not been taken out. The entire team cheered silently.
Next, just make sure 250 is quiet for two minutes and doesn't rub around, and the implantation is complete.
At this point, Yu Yiyun didn't want to take any more shots, so she just lay there quietly, listening to the excited little man mumbling messages.
"Gender: male giant panda. Age: 19 months. Weight... should I enter 198 or 200?"
"198, give the kid some face."
"Eehee?" Do you know how to save face now?
Sesame dumplings make you fat.
"Okay, next is the name. What's it?"
"You just decided yesterday and you forgot about it today?"
"Do you blame me? There were more than 20 candidates, and the voting took more than half a month! I was busy voting for 'Tangyuan', but the name I picked didn't make the cut anyway."
"Tangyuan sounds too common, and it's a duplicate name." The person who spoke bent down and looked through the gap at 250 who was pretending to sleep inside. "He is a special bear and needs a special name. Give it to me and I'll enter it."
The person who spoke took the instrument and carefully typed in the name that was finally decided after layers of selection:
"Chang Geng... I still want to ask, isn't that too serious? Look at the other bears, Qi Qi, Du Du, Huan Huan, the style suddenly changes 250 times."
"What's the problem? They don't call each other by name, so the baby won't be isolated." The person who spoke sighed, as if explaining to the little bear in the box, "Chang Geng is the ancient name of Venus. In the solar system, Venus is the closest to the sun and is also called the Morning Star. We gave you this name to thank you for showing us a clear path."
"babble."
Sesame glutinous rice ball raised its tail and responded: You're welcome.
"He seemed to understand. I'd say 250 is pretty smart!"
"My full name is Chang Geng, and my nickname is 250. It sounds a bit abstract."
"What should we do? We can't call it 198."
"Eeyee!"
Without mentioning weight, we can still be happy friends!
The little man stayed near the box and observed carefully for several hours. After making sure that the positioning chip was working properly and 250 had no adverse reactions, he opened the door and let him out.
250 crawled out of the box, but did not run away immediately. Instead, he looked quietly into the depths of the box.
"babble."
He narrowed his eyes and looked dangerously at the standing deer.
[The look in his eyes when he wanted to kill a few deer cannot be hidden.jpg]
"Chang Geng, calm down, calm down!"
"We will release the bear hostage immediately!"
While speaking, the staff untied the bow that was tied outside the box and around the gap.
"Hey~" Mommy~
The little bear crawled out of the box, holding half a steamed bun in his paws and smacking his lips.
"Eeyore!" No more running around!
"Eeyeeee!" Look at this group of upright deer, so abnormal!
"Yeah." The baby knows.
250 successfully rescued the bear hostage, but did not leave immediately. He skillfully stretched out his paw and took two mooncakes from the pocket of the upright deer, then took the little bear back to the tree hole.
Approaching the tree hole, iXiong Ziwei still maintained her original posture, with her paws tucked in and staring at the direction where the sesame dumplings disappeared.
Seeing her friend return, Ziwei instantly turned into E-bear, pounced on him, hugged the sesame glutinous rice balls and rolled into a ball.
"Eeyee~"
“Hey hey!”
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhima Tangyuan took out the mooncakes and shared them with Ziwei, telling her what had just happened and showing off his new name.
Ziwei was chewing the mooncake with a smacking sound. She didn't understand a word of her companion's nonsense.
On the first day after the positioning chip was implanted, Yu Yiyun always felt itchy on his neck, but unfortunately he couldn't scratch it.
After waking up from a nap, the wound from the chip injection healed, and Zhima Tangyuan gradually forgot about it and started eating, drinking and fooling around again.
Since the chip was discovered, the workload of the protection team has been drastically reduced. They no longer have to analyze 250 daddies every day like the fanatical private team to determine where they are fooling around.
As the temperature drops day by day, the Qinling Mountains, as the north-south dividing line, isolate the cold air from the north to the south.
In the dead of winter, if you fly over the Qinling Mountains, you may be able to see the amazing sight of the northern slope covered in snow and the southern slope with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Even though they are not far apart, winter on the north slope is definitely more difficult than on the south slope.
Winter has just begun, and the northern bears that have lived on the north slope all year round have begun to climb down from the top of the mountain one after another to find habitats in low-altitude areas.
The conservation team monitored 250's movements every day and found that apart from eating, he was either watching monkeys fights or busy snatching prey from leopard cats. He was not worried about the habitat at all.
The staff stared at the weather forecast of impending snow and experienced the feeling of 'the emperor is too anxious to hurry the eunuchs to death'.
I wish I could rush to the mountain and create a habitat with abundant food for Zhimatang, so that he wouldn't starve throughout the winter due to unfamiliar climate and water.
You know, the temperature in Qinling Mountains can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter!
It is simply unimaginable for bears in the south where the lowest temperature is only around minus ten degrees Celsius.
Southern bears may not be able to imagine what it feels like at minus twenty degrees Celsius.
As someone who had been to the North and South Poles and survived the freezing winter of minus 40 degrees Celsius in North America, Yu Yiyun sat in the cold wind on the top of the Qinling Mountains, crossing her legs and looking very arrogant.
That’s it?
In my previous life, twenty degrees below zero was the temperature just before spring.
Yu Yiyun was fat and strong enough to endure the cold, but Little Bear was not even a year old and Ziwei was much thinner than her, so she couldn't withstand the cold wind.
Before the first snow covered the Qinling Mountains, Zhima Tangyuan, relying on his rich survival experience, found a natural cave that could shelter him from the wind and snow.
The three bears brought some hay and bamboo leaves together and spread them in the cave.
The cave had just been renovated and the first snow arrived as expected.
Ziwei lay in the warm cave, watching...
Outside the cave, two bears, their bodies covered with snowflakes and transformed into icing rice cakes, were rolling around in the snow, pretending to be polar bears.
Ziwei looked at the newly laid hay, then at the two fluffy bears, and slowly became confused.
Since you two like snow so much, why do you need to build a nest?
Little Bear was born more than half a year ago and it was the first time he saw snow.
He was healthy and well-nourished, and wore a bearskin coat to keep warm. In addition, after the winter, Sesame Rice Balls performed exceptionally well, and brought back two young muntjacs to nourish the cubs.
After eating a few meals of venison, the little bear's blood and energy became very strong. He almost had a nosebleed while sleeping during the day and didn't feel cold at all.
The two sugar-coated glutinous rice balls played around for a while, and then the little bear was so tired that he spread out his limbs and fell into the snow pile to catch his breath.
Yu Yiyun hesitated for a moment, thinking that if he lay in the snow, his stomach would catch a cold.
Based on the inherent thinking of the Chinese people, people can eat sesame rice dumplings without wearing clothes, but they must cover their belly buttons when sleeping.
Even in the hot summer sun, you have to cover your belly button with a leaf.
Sesame glutinous rice ball looked around, opened its paws, and lay on the little bear's back, covering its belly button with the bear's cub.
Even if you sleep in the snow, your belly button is covered!
"Hey hey!" Mommy, it's so heavy!
The little bear felt the unbearable weight of his life and flapped his short legs, trying to overturn the sesame dumplings.
“Hey——!” He exerted all his strength, exerted force, and then…
"Woof!"
A ferocious roar was heard nearby.
The little bear was startled and looked at his mommy with a look of grievance.
Yu Yiyun looked at the baby with clear eyes and innocently.
"Yiyi." It's unfair. How could I yell at you?
"Woof!"
The two bears were busy staring at each other, and roars were heard nearby.
"Yiyi~" Sesame Tangyuan's radar for watching the fun was activated, and he planned to leave the little bear behind and run over to watch alone.
Before he could finish telling him to "stay here and don't move", the little bear had already rushed out.
Looking at his back that didn't recognize his relatives, and his enthusiasm for "joining in the fun", Yu Yiyun even began to doubt:
Is he my biological son?
The two bears arrived at the crime scene one after another. The little bear imitated his mother, consciously found the best viewing position, and looked at the bear that made the sound with wide eyes.
Yu Yiyun didn't have time to think about the epoch-making question of "Can pandas reproduce alone?" He raised his round face and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was an older male bear.
The average age of wild giant pandas is 15-20 years old, and in captivity they can reach 20-30 years old, with the longest-lived individual reaching 38 years old.
The roaring male bear had rough fur, badly worn teeth, and many signs of fighting on his body.
From various characteristics, it can be inferred that he is at least 18 years old, equivalent to a 70-year-old man.
"Woof!"
The octogenarian bear let out a deep roar, and it sounded like he still had plenty of energy.
Yu Yiyun followed the old bear's gaze and saw a black bear that did not hibernate in time because it did not find enough food.
“Ah…”
The black bear's voice became weak and it was obvious that he was beginning to retreat.
Many humans take it for granted that hibernating bears will sleep for three months.
In fact, black bears still retain consciousness during hibernation and will wake up at any time when they encounter danger.
Some black bears don't store enough fat before winter.
When winter comes, it will choose to delay hibernation or give up hibernation and continue looking for food.
The black bears that appeared in the old bear's territory were thin and obviously did not meet the standards for wintering.
The first snow has fallen, and the hungry black bear is planning to attack the old and weak panda.
In extreme cases, black bears will even eat their own kind, so they will naturally not show mercy to pandas.
However, the unlucky black bear made a wrong judgment.
Lord Bear is indeed old, but not frail.
The wounds on his hind legs, the scars on his face, and the ferocious look in his eyes all tell of the fights this bear had experienced when he was young.
"Woof!"
The old bear showed no intention of retreating. His eyes became more and more ferocious as he approached the black bear step by step.
“…Mumble, mumble.”
The black bear took a few steps back in fear.
The situation on the field is already very clear: a panda with maximum attack power and full of murderous intent is facing a hungry black bear that is too weak to hibernate.
Black bears need to find food as soon as possible to replenish their energy, otherwise the weather will get colder and food will be harder to find. Then they must give up hibernation and go out to look for food in the cold winter.
If you get injured in a fight with a panda at this time, it will affect your hunting at best, or you will be killed on the spot if it is serious.
No matter what the result is, it's a dead end.
The black bear thought about the consequences of a head-on confrontation with the panda and retreated more obviously.
Retreating outside the panda's territory, the black bear ran away without looking back, running faster than a rabbit.
Yu Yiyun looked at the old bear with admiration and found that he still maintained his high morale, re-marking his territory and declaring his absolute dominance.
We discovered that there were signs of invasion by foreign bears on the edge of the territory, leaving two marks, one large and one small.
The old bear followed the scent and saw Sesame Rice Balls and Little Bear, his eyes narrowed.
"Eeyore." Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to watch the fun.
"Yeah." Me too.
The old bear looked sternly, observed carefully, and turned away dejectedly.
It wasn't that he was kind and intended to let the two little bears go.
Chunchun just disdains the mentally retarded.
——Fat Bear and Little Bear, why waste your time.
