Chapter 801: The Golden Leopard (1/2)
Then the subsequent changes stunned everyone
The leopard on the opposite side suddenly turned around and ran into the dense woods, fleeing in an instant.
Da Hei and Xiao Hei also reacted very quickly, and they were about to catch up, Zhang Feng hurriedly stopped them: "Da Hei and Xiao Hei stop!"
The two dogs braked suddenly, then turned around and looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously, as if asking why Zhang Feng asked them to stop.
The wild leopard is a protected animal, and there will definitely be a big fight when the two dogs catch up, and it will not be good for both sides to be injured at that time, so Zhang Feng stopped them in time.
"Professor Dong, the leopard just now seems to be a golden leopard, right?"
Zhang Feng was also shocked when he heard it!
Because the golden leopard is so famous, it is often seen in TV series that a piece of the fur of the golden leopard can be sold for a sky-high price.
"It's definitely the ...... of the Golden Leopard"
Professor Dong once visited Nanhe Province to inspect the leopard.
And a month ago, when the leopard first appeared in the Wolong Giant Panda Sanctuary, he also took the investigation team of the Wildlife Conservation Association to Sichuan Province to inspect it in person.
Therefore, Professor Dong is extremely familiar with the leopard,
The leopard used to be almost not distributed in the land of China, but after the crazy era, the leopard quickly disappeared, and only some parts of Nanhe Province had a sporadic distribution.
A month ago, Sichuan Province also found the traces of the leopard again, for which everyone was happy for a long time, did not expect to find the traces of the leopard again in Qingshan today, everyone was excited, felt that this expedition, it was really worth the trip, not only the first day to find the extinct moon goddess butterfly, the second day again found the traces of the leopard, it was really a surprise to everyone.
The leopard resembles a tiger in shape, but it is smaller than a tiger, with a body length of 1-1.5 meters, a tail length of 0.75-0.85 meters, a short head with round ears, a long tail, and slightly shorter limbs. The whole body is covered with round or oval black spots, hence the name "golden leopard". The dorsal back, outer sides of the head and limbs and the back of the tail are white, and the tip of the tail is black.
So the leopard was easy to distinguish, and the professors present were excited.
"Xiao Wang, did you record it just now?" Professor Dong smiled and asked the policeman on the side.
"Write it down, write it all down!" The policeman named Xiao Wang carried the camera, and he answered the excitement.
Hearing Xiao Wang's words, the experts were all overjoyed and ran over to check the video of the golden leopard.
"Hey, it's a pity, the picture is not clear!" everyone said with some regret after seeing it.
"That's not bad, it's so dim in the morning!"
"Hehe, yes, you don't have to be a pity, it's better to have a discovery than not to find it, don't be too nitpicking!"
The experts discussed around the video, but Zhang Feng and the police did not dare to relax at all, because who knew that the money leopard would kill back and protect everyone's safety was the most important thing.
"Xiao Feng, can you quickly see if Da Hei Xiao Hei is injured?" At this moment, the running mountain master hurriedly reminded Zhang Feng to arrive.
"Hehe, it's okay, our family is big black and little black is fine, I looked at it just now, there was no wound on my body at all, and I lost two hairs!"
Zhang Feng also had to praise his dog, his combat effectiveness was really good and strong, not only did he press the money leopard just now, but he was not injured after the battle.
"Hehe, it's really two good dogs, it's really right to take them into the mountain!" said Master Runshan smiled, then hugged the two dogs and stroked their hair fondly.
The surrounding fog gradually dissipated
The visibility was much clearer at once, and there was no warning from the big black and the little black, so the police also relaxed.
Experts also began to look for the hair and blood stains left by the leopard on the ground.
These are all strong evidence of the discovery of the leopard, especially the blood stains left by the leopard, which can be identified through DNA monitoring.
"This should be a male leopard that has just grown into adulthood!" After collecting hair and bloodstains, the experts finally came to a conclusion.
The leopard is generally about four years old and an adult
The leopard is extremely physical, has an abnormal sense of sight and smell, has an alert temperament, can swim and climb trees, and has become a carnivorous and daring eater.
Good at jumping and climbing, generally living alone, at night or in the early morning and evening. He often wanders back and forth in the forest, and is fierce by nature, but generally does not hurt people.
The reason why it appeared this time is probably because he smelled the smell of big black and little black, and wanted to take them as prey, but unfortunately the steel plate was mentioned at the end, and he was injured and fled in embarrassment.
In the mountains and forests, the leopard's prey mainly includes green sheep (impala), red deer, macaques and wild boars.
But they also hunt civets, birds, rodents, etc., and even carrion, depending on where the prey is produced.
Leopards also hunt domestic animals, which leads to human-leopard conflicts. Like most cats, leopards will sneak close to their prey under the cover of dense forests and suffocate them by attacking them by the neck or nose. Leopards usually drag their prey up trees and eat it slowly to prevent predators such as jackals or wolves and tigers from coming to grab it. In the food chain, leopards are in the position of second-class predators, which means that leopards are the prey of both tigers and lions.
Leopards inhabit a variety of habitats, ranging from low mountains and hills to alpine forests and shrubs, and are all fixed nests with strong concealment.
Subsequently, the experts asked the running mountain master:
"Master Running Mountain, has Qinglong Mountain ever found a leopard before?"
I still remember this very clearly, I remember that in the 70s, the XX commune next door hit a leopard who entered the village to steal sheep, and it is said that the fur was sold for more than 300 yuan, and the money in that era was worth a lot of money, and the salary of ordinary people was only a dozen yuan, more than 300 yuan, which was a huge amount of money at that time, enough for three large tile houses!"
Speaking of which, the running mountain master still looked envious,
At that time, everyone was poor, and more than 300 yuan was not much now, but at that time, more than 90 percent of the people in the country would not have more than 100 yuan in savings.
Seeing that the more he spoke, Professor Dong hurriedly interrupted him: "Master Ranshan, what about after that?
"No, I haven't found the leopard since then!" said Master Ran Shan with some regret.
The leopard was second only to the tiger at that time, that year, as soon as the farming was idle, the militia and young men of the nearby ten miles and eight townships would go into the mountains to hunt, if they hit a tiger, it could be sold for thousands of yuan, even if everyone divided it equally, one person could get dozens of dollars,
Therefore, at that time, everyone carried guns into the mountains and swept around, not to mention tigers and leopards, and even the sparrows hid far away, fearing that they would be dragged down by the name of the four evils.
