422. Little leopard in the forest

It happened that Chen Song had seen this thing, he squatted down and confirmed it for a while and said, "You guessed wrong, this is not animal dung, the two key words are all wrong, this is what the bird spits out of its mouth, it is called food pills." ”

Shu He, who heard the sound, was in awe: "Brother Song, this is really a food pill spit out by an owl." ”

Owls like to catch mice and small mammals to eat, they do not peck at the meat to eat, but swallow the prey they catch whole, so that sometimes they can't digest the prey's fur and bones, and eventually have to spit them out, this behavior is called spitting pills.

Seeing a few food pills, Shu He said: "These food pills are also relatively fresh, let's look for them again, there should be owls around." In this case, we will definitely find the wild cat, and I guess it is trying to hunt owls for food. ”

"And the wild cats will defecate before hunting to minimize the weight on the body, so there is no problem, and the wild cats we are looking for must be nearby. ”

Lu Dapeng said: "Wait, two old irons, I want to explain, aren't we here to find wild boars?

Shu He said: "Pick up the grass and hit the rabbit, by the way, look for it, if you have to hit it if you have a wild cat, it may carry rabies virus, this thing is very dangerous." ”

As he was talking, Chen Song heard the sound of Xi Xi brushing from a tree very close to the side in front of him, the sound was not loud, but his hearing was outstanding, and he caught this abnormal sound in the sound of the wind.

In this way, he subconsciously looked up, and at this time his outstanding eyesight helped him again, and on a tree branch he saw a hairy head two circles larger than his fist, and he looked at it, and it happened to match two large black and shiny eyes.

Hidden on the branch is a cat that is particularly beautiful, with two black stripes on its head that run from its nose up to its ears, and two white stripes that run from its nose to its eyes.

Glancing at Chen Song, the cat was obviously startled, and hurriedly turned around and jumped, jumping from the branch to a branch above.

Just as it turned around, Chen Song saw that the back of its ears had some white spots distributed in the black.

Seeing these characteristics, Chen Song was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously said, "Look, ocelot!"

His voice startled the big cat, who flicked its long tail to keep its balance, and leaped up to the tree, its figure quickly disappearing into the leafy foliage.

The ocelot reacted too quickly and ran away faster, and by the time the other two looked up, it had disappeared.

Lu Dapeng's face was dazed: "What? BMW?"

"It's an ocelot, you're stupid," Shu He laughed at him, and then asked in surprise, "Is it really an ocelot?"

Chen Song said: "Absolutely yes, the southern leopard cat, the yellow fur has black spots, and there are black stripes and white stripes on the face, which I have seen before when I was working, absolutely right." ”

It is not surprising and reasonable to find leopard cats in this forest, this small cat is rare and common, they have a wide distribution area, from Japan in the east, to Pakistan in the west, from Russia in the north, to Indonesia in the south, they have their distribution, it can be said that the most widely distributed wild kittens.

They can be found in the mountainous regions of China, but there are not many of them, they are not very reproductive, they have little food, and their beautiful fur is easy to be hunted, and many factors restrict the expansion of their population.

Knowing that there was an ocelot here, Shu He was excited, he rubbed his hands and said: "Great, the ocelot is a good thing, I have to make a trap to see if I can catch it, it is much more domineering to raise it than to raise a Siamese cat, a coffee cat, a blue cat, a folded ear cat." ”

"Compared to the golden silk cat?" Lu Dapeng smiled cheaply.

Shu He didn't react and asked, "What golden cat?"

"Less pretending to be pure, Ukrainian golden cat, Russian golden cat. The more Lu Dapeng spoke, the more his eyebrows fluttered.

"Fuck off, slut," Shu He scolded with a smile, "That's still a leopard cat domineering." ”

Chen Song said: "Yes, not only is it domineering, if you catch it, then it can still take care of your food." ”

Shu He subconsciously asked, "How is it possible?" Ocelots only catch mice and birds, and they are not hunting dogs, how can they catch prey for me?"

Chen Song said: "It's not to catch prey for you, but to send you to prison, and then you won't have to spend money to eat." ”

The leopard cat is listed in China's Red Book of Three Wild Animals, and it is illegal to capture or kill it.

Shu He knew this, and after listening to Chen Song's warning, he sneered and said: "Brother Song is really humorous, but to be honest, this leopard cat is difficult to survive in the wild, if I raise it, at least I can ensure that it is well fed and drunk." ”

Indeed, ocelots are prone to starvation in the wild, they are solitary animals, and their daytime nature is to catch prey at night.

Speaking of which, they have many types of prey, such as field mice, hares and other small mammals, such as lizards and birds, among which they are particularly good at catching mice, of course, this ocelot should be attracted by the owls around it.

But here's the problem, these prey are not very easy to deal with, I already know that cats have a nature is to like to play, especially like to play with prey, such as domestic cats catch mice to play enough before eating, Siberian tigers to deer, pigs and the like are also to play dead before eating.

The ocelot's nature has been worn out, and they do not like to fiddle around and torture their prey after catching it, but simply kill the prey and eat it quickly.

Sadly, the reason why they are so natural is because there are studies that show that a lot of the food of ocelots is birds, and if they try to play with their prey, they will easily escape.

In addition, they are often hungry when they catch their prey, and they will eat it quickly after they catch it, and then they will fill their stomachs first.

Chen Song, who has worked in animal conservation, is well aware of human greed, so he warned Shu He and said: "The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, if you dare to catch it, you must be ready to go in." ”

Shu He's eyes rolled, and he said, "Understand, I will never touch it." ”

Chen Song believed his words, and looking at this guy's hippie smiling face, he changed his way of dissuasion and asked, "Dude, are you married?"

Shu He didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so he nodded and said, "I just got married this year, what's wrong?"

Chen Song pointed to Lu Dapeng and said: "I just helped you think about it, if you go to the cell because of catching the leopard cat, then it is estimated that you will have to trouble your friends to take care of the family, and Dapeng should help you take care of your daughter-in-law at that time." ”

Lu Dapeng said: "Then I am duty-bound. ”

Shu He was anxious and said: "Get out, I won't catch this ocelot, you slut is obliged to give up your fart, I don't need you to be courteous to my daughter-in-law!"

Chen Song doesn't trust Shu He, the price of an ocelot cat in the market can reach 100,000, and the wealth is moving.
