Chapter 822 Leopard (12)

Then the subsequent changes left everyone dumbfounded
The leopard on the opposite side suddenly turned around, rushed into the dense forest, and escaped in an instant.

Dahei and Xiaohei reacted very quickly, and they were about to catch up. Zhang Feng quickly stopped them: "Dahei and Xiaohei stop!"

The two dogs slammed on the brakes, then turned their heads and looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously, as if asking why Zhang Feng asked them to stop.

Wild leopards are protected animals. If the two dogs catch up, they will definitely have a big fight. It will be bad for both of them to be injured. Therefore, Zhang Feng stopped them in time.

"Professor Dong, the leopard just now seems to be a leopard, right?" an expert in plant research asked curiously.

Leopard?Zhang Feng was also very shocked when he heard it!
Because the leopard is so famous, I often see it in TV dramas, and a piece of leopard fur can be sold for a sky-high price.

"It must be a leopard..."

Professor Dong once went to Nanhe Province to inspect leopards,

And a month ago, when the leopard first appeared in the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve, he also took the investigation team of the Wildlife Conservation Association to Sichuan Province for inspection.

So Professor Dong is very familiar with leopards,
Leopards used to be distributed almost all over China, but after the crazy years, leopards died out rapidly, and only some areas in Nanhe Province had sporadic distribution.

A month ago, Sichuan Province also found traces of leopards again. For this reason, everyone was happy for a long time. I didn’t expect to find traces of leopards in Qingshan again today. Everyone was very excited and felt that this investigation was really worthwhile. During this trip, not only the extinct moon goddess butterfly was found on the first day, but also the trace of the leopard was found on the second day, which really surprised everyone.

The shape of the leopard is similar to that of a tiger, but its body is smaller than that of a tiger. Its body length is 1-15 meters, its tail is 075-085 meters long, its head is round and its ears are short, its tail is long, and its limbs are slightly shorter.The whole body is covered with round or oval black spots, hence the name "Leopard".The back, the outside of the head and limbs and the back of the tail are white, and the tip of the tail is black.

Therefore, leopards are easy to distinguish, and the professors present were very excited.

"Xiao Wang, did you record everything just now?" Professor Dong smiled and asked the policeman next to him.

"Write it down, write it all down!" The policeman named Xiao Wang answered excitedly with a camera on his shoulder.

After hearing Xiao Wang's words, the experts were very happy, and they all ran over to check the video of the leopard.

"Hey, what a pity, the picture is very unclear!" Everyone said with some regret after seeing it.

"This is not bad, the light in this morning is so dim!"

"Hehe, yes, you don't have to be sorry, it's better to have a discovery than to have no discovery, everyone, don't be too picky!"

The experts discussed the video, but Zhang Feng and the police did not dare to relax at all, because who would have thought that the leopard would fight back, and protecting everyone's safety is the most important thing.

"Xiaofeng, quickly check if Dahei and Xiaohei are injured?" At this moment, Master Paoshan hurriedly reminded Zhang Feng to arrive.

"Hehe, it's okay, our big black and little black are smart, I just checked, there is no wound on the body, only two strokes of hair have fallen out!"

Zhang Feng also had to give a thumbs up to his dog. The fighting power is really good and strong. Not only did he fight against the leopard just now, but he was not injured after the battle.

"Hehe, they are really two good dogs. It is right to take them into the mountains!" Master Paoshan smiled, then hugged the two dogs, fondling their fur.

The surrounding fog gradually dissipates

Visibility became much clearer at once, and there was no early warning for Dahei Xiaohei, so the police also relaxed.

Experts also started to look for the hair and blood left by leopards on the ground.

These are all strong evidences for the discovery of the leopard, especially the bloodstains left by the leopard, which can be used to determine the identity of the leopard through DNA monitoring.

"This should be a newly grown male leopard!" After collecting hair and blood, the experts finally came to a conclusion.

Leopards generally reach adulthood at the age of four

Leopards have extremely strong physical fitness, exceptionally sensitive vision and smell, and alert temperament. They can swim and climb trees. They have become bold and fierce carnivores with a wide range of food habits.

Good at jumping and climbing, generally live alone, come and go at night or in the early morning and evening.They often wander back and forth in the forest. They are fierce by nature, but generally they don't hurt people.

The reason why they appeared this time is probably because they smelled the smell of big black and small black, and wanted to treat them as prey, but unfortunately they mentioned the steel plate at the end, and finally got injured and fled in embarrassment.

In the mountains and forests, the leopard's prey mainly include Qingyang (goral), red deer, macaque and wild boar, etc.
But they also hunt civets, birds, rodents, etc., and even carrion, depending on where the prey comes from.

Leopards also hunt domestic animals, so conflicts between humans and leopards occur.Like other felines, leopards will sneak up on their prey under the cover of dense forest, and make a surprise attack, attacking the neck or snout of the prey, causing them to suffocate.Leopards usually drag their prey up trees to eat slowly to prevent jackals or wolves.Tigers and other predators come to snatch it.On the food chain, leopards are in the position of secondary predators, which means that leopards are also the prey of tigers and lions.

The habitats of leopards are diverse, ranging from low mountains and hills to alpine forests and bushes, all of which are fixed nests with strong concealment.

Afterwards, the experts asked Pao Shanye:
"Master Pao Shan, have you ever found a leopard in Qinglong Mountain before?"

"Yes, why not? I still remember this very clearly. I remember that in 1970, the XX commune next door captured a leopard that entered the village to steal sheep. It is said that the fur was sold for more than 300 yuan. Money is valuable, and the wages of ordinary people are only a dozen yuan, more than 300 yuan, which was a huge sum of money at the time, enough to afford three large tile-roofed houses!"

Speaking of this, Master Paoshan still looked envious,

At that time, everyone was poor, more than 300 yuan, which seems not much now, but at that time, more than 90.00% of the people in the country had savings of less than [-] yuan.

Seeing that the Mountain Runner was talking more and more vigorously, Professor Dong quickly interrupted him: "The Mountain Runner, what happened after that? Have you ever found a leopard after that?"

"No, no leopard has been found since then!" Master Pao Shan said regretfully.

At that time, the leopard was the second most valuable item after the tiger. In those years, when the farming was slack, militiamen and young adults from the nearby towns and villages would go hunting in the mountains. If a tiger was caught, it could sell for thousands of dollars at least. Even if everyone divides it equally, each person can get dozens of yuan.

So at that time, everyone carried their guns into the mountains and ran around, not to mention tigers and leopards, and even sparrows hid far away, fearing that they would become the souls of everyone's guns.
