Chapter II
In the living room, Old Man Chen talked to himself, took out tea from the cabinet and made himself a cup.
Feng Shu rolled her eyes: "You don't sleep at night?"
The old man sniffed the fragrance of tea, with a satisfied expression on his face, and smiled cheaply: "I just woke up in the afternoon, and I have been jetlagged in the past two days, so I will sleep again tomorrow after staying up for a day." Then he stretched out two fingers towards Ji Tianhao: "Is there a cigarette?" ”
Ji Tianhao smiled and said to Fat Tiger: "Fat Tiger, go get a box of cigarettes." ”
"Wang~"
The little fat man ran into the corner of the living room, Ji An built a kennel for it, rummaged for a while, and after a while, he ran with a box of cigarettes in his mouth and spit on the coffee table.
Feng Shu: "You hid your cigarettes in the fat tiger kennel?"
Ji Tianhao hurriedly denied pushing the pot: "Ji An's place, once happened to be seen by me." ”
Feng Shu said angrily: "The stinky boy is smoking again, see how I clean him up tomorrow!"
The old man looked at the fat tiger dumbfounded: "This dog is also a sperm......
Ji Tianhao slapped the sofa, and the fat tiger jumped up, squeezing out a position between Ji Tianhao and Feng Shu.
Rubbing the fat tiger's head, Ji Tianhao said: "This dog is really smart, if you look for a panda in the mountains, you can find it, and Yanyan is what it found." ”
The old man looked at the fat tiger for a while, and said happily: "It just so happens that I lack a smart dog on the farm, how about giving it to me?"
Ji Tianhao didn't answer, Feng Shu hugged the fat tiger, and his eyes were white. The old man understood, lit a cigarette, and shifted the topic to Yeon-yeon: "What's the matter with Yeon-yeon?
Ji Tianhao was silent for a while and said, "I hope it is." ”
The old man finally straightened his face and frowned. With his understanding of Ji Tianhao, Ji Tianhao can't be sloppy, Yanyan's identification and evasion training of black bears, Ji Tianhao must have completed it seriously.
Yeon-yeon is now severely injured by a bear-like beast, if not a black bear, but a panda.
And if it's a panda......
Old man Chen spat out a puff of cigarette, Xu was choked by the smoke, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's troublesome." ”
Ji Tianhao nodded.
Feng Shu was puzzled and asked, "What's the trouble?" What are you talking about?"
Ji Tianhao explained to his wife, but Feng Shu still didn't understand: "Why is it troublesome for the panda to bite?"
Lao Chen: "You also know that pandas are smart and have a good memory. Ji Tianhao taught Yeon-yeon all the survival skills she needs to master as a panda in the wild, but there is one thing he can't teach.
Individual differences in newborn pandas do not become apparent until six months later, and only by selecting the strongest and smartest newborn pandas for training will it be possible for them to survive in the wild.
However, for the previous six months, all pandas in captivity lived together in groups, while giant pandas in the wild lived alone.
The panda is smart and has a good memory, Yanyan was released into the wild, it knows to avoid black bears, wolves, and leopards, but when it smells the same kind of smell, it will remember the collective life it used to have, and take the initiative to find wild giant pandas.
Such behavior will be regarded by wild giant pandas as a territorial invasion and will inevitably lead to attacks.
It's a dead knot. As long as it is a newborn panda bred in captivity, there is a kind of memory of living in groups, and this memory is something that Ji Tianhao can't erase no matter what.
Therefore, if Yanyan was really bitten by a wild panda, this proves that the panda in captivity cannot be wildened. ”
Feng Shu: "What if the newborn pandas are kept alone?"
The old man shook his head: "This is tantamount to gambling, the physique of captive-bred pandas is a little worse than that of wild pandas." Six months ago, no one knew if the newborn panda's physique would be suitable for wilding. ”
There was silence.
Old man Chen took out his cigarette butt and sighed deeply.
Feng Shu: "Tianhao has wasted these three years?"
Ji Tianhao comforted his wife: "It's not a waste, isn't this all experience?"
The old man lit another cigarette for himself and bowed his head in contemplation.
To say that although the old man is not a righteous person, as a pioneer in the entire field of panda protection, his professional knowledge is undoubted, and his brain is even bigger.
He suddenly looked up: "No, there is another possibility!"
Ji Tianhao listened attentively.
Old man: "Since people can't teach it, what if you let the mother panda teach it?"
Ji Tianhao: "What do you mean?"
The old man's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Yanyan is seriously injured and is no longer suitable for release into the wild." We can retrain a new female panda, wait for it to grow up, artificially breed it, and then give birth to and raise her cubs in semi-wild conditions, cutting off all human interference.
When the cubs grow up again, isn't that equivalent to a wild giant panda?"
After listening, Ji Tianhao patted his legs: "That's right!
But Feng Shu exclaimed angrily: "What can you do?!
It takes at least 6 or 7 years to raise a newborn panda to sexual maturity, and another two years for the cubs to grow up.
It adds up to nearly ten years in total, and in case of repeated failures, how many decades can Tianhao waste with you?
I don't care, anyway, I want to raise you yourself, Tianhao won't do it this time!"
The old man's face was ugly, Ji Tianhao opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back after thinking about it. Feng Shu in anger, it's best not to provoke.
Oh yes, by the way, other pandas are only sexually mature at the age of 6 or 7, and the big bear starts to snap at the female panda when he is two years old......
…………
On the other side, in the Ji'an house, the Book of Wild Nature was spread out on the table, and next to it was a plate of silver minnows that were about to be eaten.
Summer in Alaska is coming to an end, and the temperature is getting cooler. The gray wolf is now fat, and he looks very majestic as a wolf king, but he is becoming less and less mobile.
To describe it in layman's terms, it is terminally ill, too lazy to the bones, and hopeless......
The Kenai Mountains had just dawned, Ji An put the pork outside the wolf's den, and the gray wolf woke up on time every day when it was time to eat, yawned, and went out of the hole to eat.
Three little foxes gathered around the hole, wagging their furry red tails and waiting for it to come out.
The little fox did not dare to enter the wolf's den, and would be beaten, and this clean wolf was very disgusted with the smell of the fox entering its house, and taught it twice, and the little fox had a long memory.
A wolf and three foxes lie outside the cave and share the day's breakfast.
Ji An watched them bite the fat pork, and he also pondered about Yanyan in his mind.
At lunch, I heard that when the meeting was held, everyone in the base judged that Yanyan was bitten by a black bear, and Deputy Director Mei took advantage of the topic to play and pressed the pot on Ji Tianhao's head.
As a member of the team looking for a panda on Tuesday, only Ji An can probably determine that Yeon-yeon was bitten by another giant panda.
After thinking for a while, Ji An said to himself: "It seems impossible to dump the pot for my father, but what about the rewilding experiment......
When the time comes, I'll bring the female panda back, and what more do you want? I'll just give you a pure wild one!"
