Chapter 16: Rescuing the Clouded Leopard
After everyone had eaten, Xiang Tian took Yang Wei to arrange accommodation for them.
The expansion of the new dormitory and ambulance centre next to the reserve has begun, and construction is underway.
Xiang Tian was about to close the live broadcast room and go to rest for a while, when Lao Yin came to the door.
"Xiang Tian, I just received a call, and the border guard found a smuggling gang, there was a clouded leopard in it, it seems to be seriously injured, and now it has been transferred to the zoo in NH County, and the bureau has arranged for us to deal with it in the reserve, do you want to take someone to take a look?"
Clouded Leopard ???
"I've heard of a snow leopard, what is a clouded leopard?"
"National first-class protected animals!
"Don't turn off the live broadcast, take us to see it. ”
"Okay, I'm fine anyway, you can sit in the reserve, and leave these things to me. Xiang Tian agreed.
Xiang Tian asked for a phone call from Lao Yin, took a few veterinarians from the reserve, took the equipment and prepared to rush to the zoo in NH County.
"Let me give you a popular science, the clouded leopard, the body is tan, the smallest of the leopard subfamily, there are 6 cloud-like dark markings on both sides of the body, the limbs are thick and short, the canine teeth are sharp, and the gap between the premolars is large, the length ratio is the largest in the existing cats, and it can bite and kill larger prey, which is similar to the prehistoric extinct saber-toothed tiger. We all call the clouded leopard the little saber-toothed tiger. You'll be able to see the live clouded leopard in person, but it seems to be injured, and we need to deal with it before we can bring it back to the reserve. ”
NH County, and Ling N County, are only 70 kilometers away, and it can be reached by car for more than an hour.
When Xiang Tian and his entourage drove to NH County, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiang Tian dialed the phone and contacted the director of the zoo in NH County, as well as the leaders of the Forestry Bureau.
When inquiring about the clouded leopard's injury, Xiang Tiancai learned that the clouded leopard's injury was very serious.
The group got out of the car and came to the Nanhua Zoo, where Xiang Tian flew the drone again to start the live broadcast.
This Nanhua Zoo occupies a small area, and the number of animals is not large, and the staff of the entire zoo, plus the ticket sales, is estimated to be only a dozen people.
At this time, the clouded leopard was lying weakly in an iron cage.
Several veterinarians around were trying to figure out how to anesthetize the clouded leopard and drag it out.
"The staff of the Lingnan Reserve are here!!"
The director of the zoo, Wang Yuanyuan, shouted, and the crowd of people watching around gave way to Xiang Tian and the others.
This time, he was accompanied by Yang Wei, Luo Chen, and Yang Yang, who had just joined the Lingnan Reserve.
"Yang Wei, you open the box first, and prepare to inspect the clouded leopard, and I'll go to appease its emotions first. Xiang Tian glanced at the blood stains under the iron cage and spoke.
"Damn, this is the clouded leopard! ”
"Poor clouded leopard, is it hurt? ”
"Look, the anchor has put his hand in the iron cage. ”
", you won't be bitten!"
"Young man, this clouded leopard is very aggressive, especially after being injured, it is very sensitive, you can't do that. A middle-aged veterinarian on the side reminded.
"It's okay, uncle, don't worry, this clouded leopard is seriously injured, if you use the tranquilizer gun now, I'm afraid this clouded leopard will never wake up, we can't take risks." Xiang Tian explained.
The small door of the iron cage was opened, and the injured clouded leopard was like a frightened cat, with its hair standing on end and hissing sound.
"Don't be afraid, little one, I'm here to save you. Xiang Tian whispered.
Seeing Xiang Tian's big hand getting closer, the wild clouded leopard bared its teeth and wanted to stand up slowly, but the injury on his hind leg made it impossible for him to stand at all.
However, to everyone's surprise, this clouded leopard did not attack, but stared at Xiang Tian tightly with big eyes, and roared in its mouth.
"Could it be that this clouded leopard is running out of energy? No, when we tried to get it out, it was like crazy. ”
This scene made the veterinarians who had previously participated in the treatment wonder.
"Luo Chen, bring the bottle of water in the box!" Xiang Tian urged.
Luo Chen handed over the water, Xiang Tian unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured some into the cap, and slowly stretched out towards the clouded leopard.
This kind approach made the clouded leopard seem to be less vigilant than before.
In addition, with Xiang Tian's 35-point affinity with the animal, as long as Xiang Tian doesn't hurt it, it won't attack Xiang Tian.
"Good, drink some water first, you are seriously injured and need treatment. Xiang Tian held the bottle cap in his hand and stretched it out to the clouded leopard's mouth.
This scene made the timid audience in the live broadcast room can't help but close their eyes.
"Oh my God, the anchor is so close to the wild animals!!
"I'm sorry for the anchor if I don't take a bite. ”
"Hahaha, you guys are really devils. ”
After five minutes, under Xiang Tian's comfort, the clouded leopard actually began to lick the spiritual water in the bottle cap.
While the clouded leopard was drinking water to relax his vigilance, Xiang Tian's big hand gently stroked the clouded leopard's somewhat messy fur.
"This clouded leopard, whose health is not very good, must have been abused during the smuggling period, and he is as thin as a monkey. ”
"The rest of you, go out first, prepare a bed board, and I'll get the clouded leopard out of the cage immediately. ”
After the clouded leopard drank the spiritual water, his originally dull eyes gradually became a little brighter.
Xiang Tian knew that the opportunity had come.
Slowly lifted the clouded leopard up and lifted it out of the iron cage.
At first, the little guy struggled a little, but then he felt that Xiang Tian exuded an aura of closeness, so he compromised.
"Yang Wei, prepare for sterilization, prepare for stitching of the wound, prepare for a small dose of anesthetic. Xiang Tian commanded.
"The Sutra is ready. ”
Xiang Tian injected the clouded leopard with an anesthetic, and the clouded leopard slowly lay on the bed board and fell into a deep sleep.
There was no way, because the wound that needed to be cleaned was too large, so he had to use anesthesia, but Xiang Tian chose a small dose of anesthetic with the smallest risk index.
It was time for Yang Wei to play next, first shaving and disinfecting the clouded leopard's thighs, disposing of the rotten and necrotic flesh with a scalpel, and finally stitching up the wound and fixing it.
"Friends in the live broadcast room, this clouded leopard should still belong to the juvenile stage, and its weight, I just hugged it, it should be about fifteen kilograms. He was seriously injured in his right hind leg, so let's deal with it briefly, and when it wakes up, we will take it back to the reserve, and then we will be rehabilitating.
If nothing happens, the clouded leopard should be able to return to nature. Xiang Tian looked at the barrage and explained.
"Anchor, look at this clouded leopard is skinny, so pitiful. ”
"Yes, the evil smuggling and poaching gang!!"
"I feel sorry for the little clouded leopard!!
After the debridement operation was completed, Xiang Tian asked the zoo to prepare some milk and poultry food.
Xiang Tian chopped the poultry meat and mixed it with milk.
After the clouded leopard woke up, he looked at everyone with some fear, his body trembled slightly, Xiang Tian knew that it was unfamiliar with the environment, and he was a little scared.
Finding a basin, Xiang Tian filled the food, mixed some spiritual water into it, and put it next to the clouded leopard who had awakened.
The clouded leopard's little head turned slightly, his nose twitched slightly, he leaned in, and began to eat the food in the basin with the help of Xiang Tian.
"Damn!!This young man is really a god, when we fed before, the clouded leopard didn't even look at it, but now he eats so vigorously. One of the leaders of the forestry department was surprised.
"The comrades in the Lingnan Reserve are really amazing!" the people around him couldn't help but praise.
"Anchor 6666!!"
"This clouded leopard is so pitiful, take it back to the reserve and raise it well!"
A kitten gives the streamer a Ferrari.
"For this gift money, the anchor remembers to buy a few more cartons of milk for the clouded leopard. ”
"I'll also give a little bit of a reward and buy more food for the clouded leopard. ”
The angler gave the anchor an excavator.
Seeing that this clouded leopard was pitiful, everyone in the live broadcast room couldn't help but give gifts and reward Xiang Tianlai.
"Rest assured, we in the Lingnan Reserve are extremely responsible for wildlife. However, I want to tell you one thing here, wild animals should not be overfed, under normal circumstances, five or seven points full is about the same. If they were full, they would not be wild. In this way, these wild animals are extremely bad, and it is even more difficult to return to the wild.
Of course, I don't want any of the money you give, and all of it will be used as a fund for the reserve. ”
"That's how it is!"
"Thank you for the anchor's popular science. ”
"Listening to the anchor is better than reading a book for ten years!"
"I'll feed my family's Erha less tomorrow to save it from demolishing the house. ”
