Chapter 222: Red Panda
Chu Jiaqiang's eyes fell on a cute little animal, it was an injured little animal, probably because of this, the expedition team brought it back.
It was seen that it was obese, its whole body was reddish-brown, its limbs were brownish-black, its body hair was long and fluffy, its face was round, it had white markings, its lips, ears and cheeks were white, its face had white spots, and its eyes were bright; The tail is thick, more than half of the body length, with 9 brown-black and brown-yellow rings, which are quite significant.
Its limbs are stubby and short, its back is reddish-brown, and its eyes and cheeks are white, as well as around its mouth and beard. The best thing to look at is a long fluffy tail with brown and white nine-segment rings, which is very cute.
"This is the nine-section wolf, I've seen it once before, where did you bring it back?" Chu Jiaqiang asked in surprise. This title was told to him by the old Taoist priest, just because its tail has nine rings, so it is called the nine-section wolf.
"Oh! It turned out that Xiao Chu also knew that it was called a nine-section wolf. Its real name is the red panda, and the nine-section wolf is a common name and a protected animal. The expedition team set out to the northwest this time found that the red panda was very seriously injured and lonely, so it was brought back to take care of it. Ding Jianhui introduced. Red pandas almost always appear in groups, and it is clear that this poor little guy has snuck out on his own.
Seeing that the old village chief was also amazed, Ding Jianhui instilled some knowledge of red pandas in the two.
The appearance of the red panda, with a cat's face and a bear body, looks like a cat but not a cat, looks like a bear but not a bear, and drags a thick tail with colorful rings, which is obviously not a relative of the short-tailed giant panda. Most people regard carnivores as beasts, but the red panda has a very docile and elegant personality. A childish face like a kitten, never seen sad, quite cute.
Usually a few people only form small groups. Although his movements are slow and clumsy, he is highly skilled in climbing, and can climb steadily to the top of the tree, even among the thin branches. Doze off leisurely.
It is naturally difficult to catch enough prey by relying on its sluggish movements. Therefore, red pandas have adapted to omnivorous and are mainly plant-based. Eat more young leaves and fruits. It also sometimes preys on small birds and eggs. Sleep at noon and at night, forage in the morning and evening, and rest the time climbing tall trees to rest.
"It's a cute little thing! I've been to the northwest too. I didn't find this animal, so it should be deeper. The old village chief said.
"Yes, they crossed the Zhuyun River, and there was a bamboo sea with red pandas living in it. Unfortunately, there is also some danger inside, and the food is almost exhausted, so I dare not go any further. Ding Jianhui wiped his beard and smiled.
Chu Jiaqiang stepped forward and found that this little guy didn't seem to be afraid of people, so he looked at him curiously. Chu Jiaqiang stretched out his hand and walked over. Touched the little one's pretty fur.
The others did not stop when they saw it, the red pandas were docile and did not feel threatened, and they would not attack. Of course, when they sense a threat, they will immediately scurry into inaccessible rocks or trees. When it feels less threatened, it will defend itself with its hind feet and use its sharp front paws to attack the enemy.
Sure enough, when Chu Jiaqiang touched it in a friendly manner, the little guy still enjoyed it with his eyes closed. At this time. Chu Jiaqiang also infused some aura into it by the way, so that its injuries would heal faster.
After chatting for a while, Chu Jiaqiang didn't want to stay anymore, this is a place where people discuss biology academics, and he can't interject. He and the old village chief said goodbye to Ding Lao, and then prepared to go back. The two of them raised their legs and walked out of the research institute, and the red panda jumped down and followed behind Chu Jiaqiang and the old village chief.
"Huh! Why is this little guy suddenly unstable? Ding Jianhui and others were surprised.
Red pandas are afraid of heat, so they didn't want to go outside just now. It is very sensitive to temperature, about 17 to 25 °C, and cannot tolerate temperatures above 25 °C, so red pandas will sleep in the shade of the treetops to escape the high temperature during the day, often lying on the branches of large trees or rolling in the hollows of trees with long tails to cover their faces.
Chu Jiaqiang turned around with the old village chief and saw the red panda following behind. Chu Jiaqiang was slightly embarrassed and hugged the little guy back.
It's just that as soon as he left, the red panda jumped down and followed, and there were a pair of innocent eyes looking at Chu Jiaqiang. A Ph.D. student walked over and stopped the red panda. At this time, the originally docile red panda suddenly screamed at the doctoral student a few times, stood upright, and grabbed it a few times threateningly with its front paws.
"Ugh! This face is turning really fast! Little one, it looks like I rescued you, right? The doctoral student said very depressedly.
Ding Jianhui and others saw Chu Jiaqiang's animal fate again, stayed with the red panda for a while, and then abducted it. However, this red panda is still injured and has to stay for treatment, otherwise it doesn't hurt to let Chu Jiaqiang take it away, anyway, he can get along well with so many animals there.
After doing this several times in a row, Ding Jianhui lost his temper and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, Xiao Chu, take it back!" I'll just treat it at your place later. ”
At this point, Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to pick up the little guy. Although he has an extra mouth, he can't eat him, and this little guy looks cute, no worse than a little squirrel.
When I got home, sure enough, the little guy was immediately spoiled, and the family liked it.
"Where did you go and come back to such a little guy?" Li Quan's eyes widened, and then he hurriedly took a few photos of it, and then sorted out some information about the red panda and uploaded it to the forum. The forum that has just calmed down is hot again, and many people have seen red pandas in the zoo, and they are indeed cute.
Ye Caiping held the red panda in her arms and said happily: "I'll see what name I should give it, since it has become a new member of our family, it can't be without a name." ”
Chu Jiaqiang's face was suddenly full of black lines, and he began to mourn for this cute little guy. Since she came, the little squirrel has been called Komatsu, which is a little better. The poor and majestic snow sculpture was called a light snow, and many tourists were still upset about the snow sculpture.
"In my opinion, since it's a red panda, how about giving it a majestic name, called Earth Bear?" Chen Wu hasn't gone back yet, he and Li Quan were the first to come, but they went back at the latest.
This title made the people present sweat profusely, looking at the cute appearance of the red panda, how could it be related to the ferocity of the Earth Bear, I really can't figure it out, it seems that the generation gap with Chen Wu is not ordinarily big.
"What Earth Bear? Do you know how to name it? It's good to call the kitten in the future, so that it can stand up to its cute appearance. Ye Caiping said.
Everyone was in a cold sweat, and secretly said that your name seems to be half a catty, right? One shouted too exaggeratedly, the other too petite. Chu Jiaqiang thought in his heart, if a few kittens come in the future, how should he applaud?
