Chapter 130 Qinling Giant Panda (Sixteen)
The mother panda stretched out her paw and tried to stop her baby daughter several times, but she couldn't resist the temptation and dropped her paw the moment she heard the little bear's voice.
"Aoao!" Bad bear!
“Ahhhh!”
The mother panda was so angry that she broke down, roared several times, turned around and hit the "evil foreign bear" with her back.
After repeated observation and confirmation, Dudu found that the foreign bear did not seem to have any intention of harming his mother and sister, and gradually relaxed his vigilance.
At the beginning, Dudu still exploded easily and his anger level was full.
After just five days, Dudu had already started to pair up with Sesame Tangyuan and go deep into the woods to hunt.
"Yiyi~" I can not only catch muntjacs, but also wild cattle~
"Yiyiyi!" Come to my house when you have time, and I'll treat you to beef!
Sesame glutinous rice balls puffed out their chests and belly, and made bold statements without hesitation.
The next second, a male antelope with exaggerated horns emerged from the depths of the jungle, scaring the two pandas so much that they hid in the trees, staring at each other.
In the past, the top hunters who roamed the sea, land and air never took the mere antelope seriously.
However, after becoming a panda, his hunting ability was greatly weakened. He could neither outrun the antelope nor fight against the antelope's sharp horns.
At this moment, Yu Yiyun finally understood why the panda's ancestors chose to be vegetarians.
Can't compete with carnivores, can't beat herbivores.
As a national treasure, being cute is enough!
"Woof!"
Dudu was clinging to the big tree opposite and yelling at him.
"Woof?" You said you would treat me to beef?
"Eeyee!" Yes!
Sesame dumplings defended themselves confidently:
"Eeyee, eyeeee!" Come to my house, let's go play with the tiger boss together!
Tiger: Unsubscribe.
[disdain.jpg]
The two carnivorous bears climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, working hard for a long time, but in the end they only caught a few small bamboo rats.
After eating the bamboo rat, Baji Baji, Zhima Tangyuan and Dudu (unilaterally) agreed to hunt together tomorrow, and then they walked with their legs turned inward and swaggered into the mother bear's territory to pick up the cub.
Before finding the little bear, Yu Yiyun first saw Ziwei quietly staying beside the mother bear, chewing bamboo with her, as if they were living a peaceful life.
Ziwei had just left her mother not long ago, and when she met a mother bear with cubs, she instinctively wanted to get close to her and feel the motherly tenderness.
The mother bear with the cubs looked at her adopted daughter, then at the obedient Ziwei, and thought that other bear children were more well-behaved, so she tacitly allowed Ziwei to eat bamboo in her territory.
——The mother bear had no idea that around this time last year, Ziwei was worth less than her daughter.
In Xiong Xiong's eyes, his own spoiled daughter was hanging out with a wild boy who smoked, drank, had his hair permed, behaved like a hooligan, skipped classes and fought all day long.
Fortunately, Xiong Xiong was very responsible. Even though his daughter grew up and could not be kept, he still raised her until she was eighteen months old before kicking her out of the house and letting her elope with the yellow-haired wild boy.
"Eh!" Auntie~
Yu Yiyun, who loves everyone as a mother, saw Ziwei getting close to the mother bear and tried to go over and act coquettishly.
Before he could get close, the mother bear showed her most ferocious expression and roared at him.
"Woof!" The enemy beasts retreat!
“Eeeeee…”
Just go.
Yu Yijun felt extremely aggrieved and couldn't understand why: in several lifetimes, she had conquered the Queen of the Tiger Realm, the Chief of the Wolf Tribe, the Leopard Hunting Claw, the Grandmother of the Whale Family, as well as the Crow and the Falcon with her unparalleled cuteness.
Why does becoming a panda increase your cuteness but decrease your charm?
——Am I not cute enough?
How is that possible!
Looking back on my life as a bear, except for my biological mother Qi Qi, every female bear I have ever seen roared at me!
Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball held up his bear face, extremely confused and unable to figure it out.
Soon, he saw Little Bear and Sister Bear rolling over, one after the other, playing and fighting with each other, and he suddenly realized what was going on.
It's not that they are not cute enough, it's mainly because the average cuteness index of the giant panda population is too high. No matter whether it's a big panda or a small panda, they are all super cute.
Xiong Xiong has been cute since he was little, and he has given birth to such cute cubs. He has become immune to cuteness.
Even though Sesame Dumpling made the cutest sound in the entire Qinling Mountains, the mother bear still ignored him.
Oh.
Isn't it just a little fat?
"Eeeeeee."
Zhima Tangyuan found out the truth and his glass heart was shattered.
He pounced and scooped up the bear cubs, holding them one by one in his arms. He buried his head in their stomachs and sucked one after another.
Sister Bear had never encountered such a perverted monster before. She stretched out her claws and flapped them around in the air, calling for help from her mother in the distance in a baby voice.
The little bear was already used to it and turned his bear face to comfort his friend.
"Hey, hey." Stop shouting.
"Hey, hey." My mom has always been this perverted.
The little bear resigned himself to his fate by spreading out his paws and exposing his white belly, as if he were a little bear doll.
The protection team that was secretly following climbed up the mountain after consuming 99% of their health.
Seeing this scene, I was instantly filled with joy.
Is there any cuter picture than a little bear sucking a little bear?
Soul travels through 250 in three minutes!
For the next two weeks or so, Yu Yiyun and her friends stayed near the territory of Dudu and the mother bear.
In addition to playing with her new friends, Yu Yiyun tried to find other bears in the reserve.
After searching everywhere, I found very little.
Compared to several other protected areas, the terrain of this reserve is difficult and the rescue work that can be carried out is limited.
All the nearby rescue stations can do for the giant pandas is to monitor their movements and provide rescue when they are in danger.
On several occasions, the rescue station treated an injured panda that was unable to even jump over cliffs and waterfalls and sent him back to his original habitat.
In the end, they had no choice but to negotiate with the nearby nature reserve to choose a new home for the pandas.
Due to long-term isolation from the outside world, the number of bears living in this area is small, and most of them are related.
Local staff could only pick up the panda and could not take the risk of sending it back to the mountain.
If we want to artificially protect the genetic diversity of pandas, we can only bring all the pandas down from the mountains and send them to other protected areas.
However, such practice would not only lead to the idleness of local nature reserves, but would also increase the distance between panda habitats.
According to zoologists' research on panda evolution, before humans destroyed habitats on a large scale, this area was a 'transit station' for Qinling giant pandas, connecting two larger habitats.
Due to human activities such as digging mountains to build tunnels and developing resorts, some pandas are trapped in "transit stations".
The journey of the little bear that Sesame Tangyuan has taken provides new ideas for the protection team.
By improving the environment and planting bamboo along the way, the transit station can be connected to the habitat in the east, guiding wild pandas to communicate on their own.
The staff who have been dedicated to panda protection for many years realized that this plan is feasible and happily opened the coffin.
Their joy did not last long, as they moved their eyes westward and lay back in the coffin.
Compared with the eastern protected area, the gap between the transit station and the western protected area is more serious.
Looking at the original terrain alone, the western area is relatively flat, and pandas can easily enter another forest as long as they arrive at the transfer station.
Because of the flat terrain, when the domestic timber market was opened in the 1990s, the forest was cut down in just a few days.
After all the trees were cut down, they turned their attention to the bamboo forest and cut down every single one.
Unable to find food, the giant panda had no choice but to flee the area and look for habitat in other mountains.
Later, a developer set his sights on this piece of land and built a "natural ecological resort", inviting people to appreciate the destroyed ecology.
The resort was abandoned after the conservation of giant pandas attracted national attention.
Unfortunately, it will take hundreds of years for the centuries-old trees that have been cut down to return to their original state.
Next to the resort, there are several small villages where people have lived here for generations, which are also precious marks of historical evolution.
Since the beginning of this century, countless people have worked hard to restore the natural environment of the Qinling Mountains.
The giant panda that was driven away never came down the mountain again.
until--
"Oh my god, 250 went down the mountain?"
"He wants to go further west? Not only is there no bamboo over there, there isn't even any forest!"
The protection team tracked Sesame Tangyuan's footsteps, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble violently.
Giant pandas are called 'children of the forest' and they need trees and bamboo forests.
Until the bare mountaintop was completely restored, people dared not hope that the children of the forest would be so kind as to set foot on it.
I never expected that three little bears from a distant reserve would be following the same migration path that had been passed down for generations.
Climb over the transfer station like your ancestors did, and then head west.
In addition to the tremors, people can't help but worry.
The Qinling Mountains are undulating, and you have to cross several mountains to reach the next protected area.
The mountain path is rugged and it is impossible to provide supplies along the entire journey.
With food supplies running low, can sub-adult bears overcome their predicament?
The next day, Sesame Rice Balls answered with practical action: No.
He originally planned to climb over the towering and steep mountains according to Xiong Xiong's normal thinking mode.
After much effort, they finally climbed over a mountain, only to find that there were several more mountains ahead. Yu Yiyun decided to give up.
"Eeyore?" Little bear, are you tired?
“Hey hey!”
The little bear raised his face and stretched out his paws happily, asking for kisses, hugs and being lifted up high.
"Eeyore?" Ziwei, are you tired?
“Woo woo…”
Ziwei was moved by the scene without being touched, and said aggrievedly that she missed her mother...
It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand what Sesame Tangyuan says.
Sesame Tangyuan didn’t understand what they said and unilaterally announced: You are tired.
"Eeyee~"
If you are tired, go down the mountain~
Yu Yiyun and his friends decisively rolled to the foot of the mountain.
He certainly wasn't going to back down.
Climbing the mountain is too tiring, so Sesame Tangyuan wants to find a lazy shortcut.
As for 'creating shortcuts', no animal is better at it than humans.
A big part of the reason they cut down trees and dug mountains was to create shortcuts that quickly connect the east, west, south and north.
Yu Yiyun arrived at the foot of the mountain and walked forward following the noisy engine sound. Sure enough, he saw a round tunnel.
Anyone who has traveled through the Qinling Mountains by car, train or high-speed rail knows how many tunnels there are at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. The tunnels run 200 kilometers from north to south, directly breaking through the impenetrable north-south wall.
The people who built the tunnel probably never dreamed that:
One day, the tunnels they dig will be forcibly requisitioned as national treasures.
Yu Yiyun climbed along the rock walls on both sides and reached the entrance of the tunnel. He turned around and reminded Xiao Xiaoxiong and Ziwei to "always walk along the rock walls."
"Woo woo!" I know.
"Na na~" There is a steel wheel beast in the middle, which will eat the hairless monkey.
Pandas have better night vision and are better at traveling at night.
As the night progressed, there wasn't much traffic passing through the tunnel.
The three little bears entered the tunnel and walked along the stone wall. At first, they did not attract the attention of passing vehicles.
The tunnel is wide and has lights every few meters.
The dim light cast a bright light inside the tunnel.
The little bear looked outside where it was pitch dark, then looked inside at the dim lights, as if he had discovered something incredible.
"Hey hey!" Mommy!
“Na na~” There are a lot of suns inside.
Just as he finished shouting, a car with its front and rear lights on drove by.
The little bear is even more excited.
"Hey hey!" The Iron Wheel Beast is eating the sun!
All of a sudden, the little bear felt even more in awe of the "Iron Wheel Beast".
Not only does it run fast and make a terrifying "buzz buzz buzz" sound, it can even eat the sun.
"Yiyi." That thing is called a 'car'. It's very dangerous. You should stay away from it.
Yu Yiyun didn't understand what Little Bear was yelling about and gave a very unimaginative explanation.
Fortunately, Little Bear didn't understand either, so he leaned against Ziwei and studied how many suns the Iron Wheel Beast could eat in one meal.
After observing the sixth steel-wheeled beast, the 'hairless monkey' inside finally discovered the giant panda that was treating it as a monkey, and was so frightened that it slammed on the brakes.
The driver turned on the headlights and saw that there were really three pandas over there, not dolls in panda costumes. He was so shocked that his brain CPU froze.
Before he could react, he decided whether he should 'get out of the car' or 'call the police'.
Yu Yiyun was the first to react and made the most ferocious noise to warn the little guy.
"babble!"
Illegal parking on the highway will result in a six-point fine!
"Eeyee~"
You're going to lose your driver's license!
Hearing the roar, Xiao Ren Mi vaguely realized that he was a regular driver with a driver's license, and the tunnel was full of surveillance cameras.
The Traffic Law does not stipulate that pandas cannot go on the highway, but if they park illegally twice, they can forget about going on the highway.
Fortunately, it was late at night and there were no cars following us.
The driver, awakened from a dream, started the engine again with his worldview shattered and reshaped.
Little Bear and Ziwei, who were watching, saw the Steel Wheel Beast stop and run again. The hairless monkeys inside were scared pale and happily biting their ears to discuss whether the Steel Wheel Beast had burped.
Humans are good at taking shortcuts, so when digging tunnels in mountains, they will definitely take the shortest distance.
They dug many tunnels, some long and some short.
The longest tunnel in the Qinling Mountains is more than 15 kilometers long.
The mountain that Yu Yiyun wanted to climb was not very high, and the tunnel was not long.
The three bears went through two tunnels in succession and crawled out before daybreak.
By the time traffic thickened, the 'late-night panda' had become an urban legend.
Only the driver who encountered the panda and the traffic police on duty felt their brains trembling as they stared at the dashcam/surveillance video.
The next day, the local transportation department and the panda protection team communicated and finally figured out the situation.
The root cause is that when the tunnel was built, a large number of trees were cut down, blocking the pandas' migration route.
Unexpectedly, three cats appeared in the bear group. They actually learned to "learn from the strengths of foreigners" and used the tunnels dug by humans to migrate.
The conservation team held a meeting overnight and concluded that the way the pandas went through the tunnel was dangerous, but feasible, and considered preserving a migration route for the pandas without affecting normal traffic.
The situation was urgent and they were unable to implement the plan for the time being.
Everyone was worried that the three clever pandas would use the human tunnel again to speed through the mountain road, so they put up isolation belts on both sides of the road to prevent the pandas from rushing onto the highway and causing tragedy.
At the same time, to prevent passing drivers from disturbing the pandas, the transportation department hung a powerful slogan:
For each illegal parking on the highway, six points will be deducted.
Drivers who only get 12 points every year: ...You are so cruel.
Even though they knew that illegal parking on the highway would result in a six-point deduction, drivers were still nervous as hell over the next few days when they passed through the tunnel where the pandas appeared, hoping to see the national treasure with their own eyes.
Unfortunately, for several days in a row, until the heat of the 'Panda Tunnel' died down, the three pandas did not reappear.
The transfer station where Dudu is located is closer to the habitat on the west side.
Sesame dumplings quickly passed through two mountains, and the new habitat is already within reach.
While those drivers were looking forward to encountering the national treasure, Yu Yiyun was already having a great time playing with the little bear he had just met.
Compared with Dudu's vigilance and defensiveness, the new habitat has a suitable environment and abundant plants.
The bears live a carefree life, have gentle and simple temperaments, and are particularly hospitable.
Yu Yiyun used her superpower of a 'social gangster' to meet eight underage bears in just two days. Each of them was so lively and cute that she had no way of handling them all.
Among them, several little bears have just become independent and are the most lonely and need company. They can't wait to stick to the foreign bears who can swim and catch muntjacs 24 hours a day.
Yu Yiyun was surrounded by the little bears and was so overwhelmed that she almost opened a little bear park on the spot.
Each bear must hand in three bamboo shoots before they can experience the companion play program.
“Ahhh~”
In the evening, Sesame Tangyuan, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, had not yet woken up, so a high-demand little bear crawled into the tree hole and provided forced wake-up service.
Yu Yiyun came out of the tree hole panting and saw another bear holding the little bear. He held him in his arms and fed him to his nephew.
Yu Yiyun took a closer look:
Damn, it was a little male bear.
Maybe she saw herself feeding the little bear and had the illusion that male bears could also breastfeed.
Ziwei squatted beside the two of them, with no intention of stopping them, as if she thought this strange scene was very reasonable.
Why should the mother bear be responsible for childbirth and breastfeeding?
The female bear is responsible for giving birth, and the male bear is responsible for raising the baby. It makes sense.
“Ahhh!”
The little bear who woke up Sesame Dumpling came over again, clamoring for some meat.
"Yiyiyi!" Okay, okay, I'll catch it for you.
After only a few days of living together, the local bear cubs have already developed a greedy appetite and must eat meat every day to satisfy their cravings.
Yu Yiyun couldn't stand being pestered anymore and started looking for prey nearby.
He followed the tracks left by other bears and walked about two kilometers until he came across a large tree with a strong smell.
At the foot of the tree lay a male bear, holding onto the trunk with his paws and sniffing the scent, rolling around on the ground in excitement, as if a cat had smelled catnip.
A beautiful female bear grabbed summer's tail and publicly posted a marriage proposal.
During the hunting, Yu Yiyun found that many male bears responded positively, proving that the number of pandas in this area was still considerable.
If bears from other protected areas could come here through transit stations, they would certainly have more options for marriage and reproduction, greatly improving the genetic quality of the species.
Anyway, Sesame Tangyuan has nothing to do anyway, so instead of accompanying those annoying cats and bears, he might as well watch the courtship drama that takes place twice a year.
He made up his mind, stuffed the little bear's mouth with meat, and then followed the scent to the mother bear with the other male bears.
The large group of male bears who were scrambling to get ahead discovered that Sesame Tangyuan had mixed into the courtship team, and a look of deep confusion appeared on their faces.
——Brother, where are you from? Do you know the rules?
——You are several years too early to compete with me for my wife!
The team responsible for local panda protection had heard of 250 before, but was not particularly familiar with it.
A sub-adult bear less than two years old was detected during this year's mating season, and a big question mark appeared in the staff's heads.
They took photos in confusion and asked netizens 'Is this normal?'
It was originally just a casual joke. After all, everyone knows that male pandas are capable of reproduction only when they are at least 4 years old.
The 18-month-old bear cub joins the courtship team and his dream is to fly into the sky.
However, the Weibo post caused unprecedented heat, and the number of reposts, comments and likes increased rapidly.
What's even more outrageous is that netizens who heard the news gave the same answer:
[250, that's normal]
[Our 250 spring recruitment was unsuccessful, so we cannot allow Xiao Xiong to have another round of recruitment in the autumn? (dog head)
[Hahahaha! Even in a new place, he still loves to join in the fun]
[Am I the only one who noticed that 250 really came to the habitat in the west? ]
[Sister above, you missed class. The original reserve posted a Weibo yesterday, saying that 250 had arrived at the new habitat. The tone sounded strangely relieved.]
[Of course not. There are plenty of bamboo shoots in the western habitat, and there are also 250 lambs, deer, and rabbits for you to raise. Finally, you don’t have to carry more than 100 kilograms of bamboo every day.]
[Thank you for the hard work of the original reserve, and come on, the new reserve, let’s face the strong wind! ]
When the employees of the new reserve saw the comments, they suddenly thought of changing jobs overnight.
Before they finished writing their resignation letters, the staff on duty sent a group message.
As expected, the Qinling Mountain Overlord who had come to visit started to act up.
Sesame Rice Balls: It’s unfair!
As usual, Yu Yiyun rushed to the panda mother's competition, holding a deer leg in her mouth while watching a TV series.
The female panda has climbed up the tree and doesn't seem to be planning to come down for the time being.
Under the tree, several male pandas were fighting fiercely.
After a fierce fight, most pandas gave up.
Only two were left to fight back, and one tried to roll the other into a bowling ball.
Yu Yiyun skillfully found the best viewing seat and was watching the movie with great interest.
Suddenly, the two pandas that were fighting were attracted by the smell of blood in the air and looked towards Yu Yijun in unison.
Adult pandas usually do not attack sub-adult pandas, but during the courtship period, male pandas may get excited in a fight and attack any bear they see.
The two male bears reached some kind of tacit understanding, but they all came to the tree where Yu Yiyun was, and climbed up one on the left and one on the right.
Yu Yiyun babbled and tried to reason with Xiongxiong, but they simply wouldn't listen.
Out of desperation, Yu Yiyun slid down the tree and used his weight advantage to kick them both down.
Zhima Tangyuan swore to heaven that he chased away the two male bears purely out of self-protection.
Unexpectedly, the two male bears ran too far and did not come back for a long time.
Just at this time, the female panda in the tree reached its best breeding period and slowly climbed down from the tree, ready to accept the final winning mate.
“…”
The mother bear lay down coquettishly, raised one of her fat legs, and looked at the only little male bear within a ten-meter radius.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, she silently put down her legs and climbed back up the tree.
Yu Yiyun's heart skipped a beat, realizing that she had ruined the female bear's breeding season, which lasted only two days a year, and she felt deeply guilty.
Qinling Cupid was so anxious that he jumped up and down, clinging to the tree and yelling at the mother bear:
"Eh!" Bear, don't be anxious!
"Yiyi!" I'll catch a good male bear soon!
