My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 306 Incompetent Snow Leopard Mother
"Who dares to raise snow leopards?"

"Yes, yes, not only does it look so ferocious, but it also lives in such a complicated environment. Which zoo can afford it?"

"It makes sense, I really haven't seen a snow leopard in the zoo!"

"It is very difficult to successfully raise wild animals. When I was a child, I was doing farm work in the fields, and I caught a litter of little wild rabbits. I wanted to bring them home and raise them, but who would have thought that they would not appreciate it at all. Jumping up and down in the cage, knocking myself to death alive, the kind of bloody head."

"It happened to me too."

"Some wild animals can be bred in captivity, but some are too wild to be successful."

Looking at the scrolling screen, Li Xiao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "No! Everything is possible!

As of now, the distribution and approximate number of snow leopards in the world, our China is probably the first, accounting for about 40.00% of the world.

If it occupies a large percentage, it will naturally try to carry out artificial breeding and breeding.

By the time the snow leopard was discovered, some of us had already tried it.

In [-], a zoo on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau took advantage of its unique geographical advantages and through several years of hard work, finally successfully solved the breeding problem of snow leopards under artificial breeding conditions, but so far no breeding population has been formed.

The reason is simple, because it is difficult for snow leopards to adapt to changes in humidity, temperature, air pressure and sunshine in low-altitude areas, so it is basically difficult for artificial breeding to succeed in zoos around the world.

Since [-], a zoo in Kyoto has successfully bred snow leopards.

Subsequently, a zoo in Chang'an also succeeded.

In captivity, the lifespan of snow leopards can exceed 15 years, while that in the wild is only [-] or [-] years at most.

But also because of artificial breeding, they will also face various problems. Many snow leopards will die halfway, and very few enjoy their old age without incident.

Under breeding conditions, snow leopards are prone to diseases, and most of them die after one or two years of breeding. They will suffer from parasites, roundworms, pinworms, etc. in their bodies, and are prone to pneumonia and tuberculosis. So far, the specific reasons have not been identified. , People think it may be that these mountain animals have difficulty adapting to a series of changes in altitude, humidity, temperature and air pressure.

Combining various reasons, I didn't want to stay with Snow Leopard's mother all the time, worrying that she would be infected with some diseases because of my existence, but now Snow Leopard's mother is too weak, I can't just sit and watch this big family die in front of me. Can help but stay! "

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he even sighed.

The reason for his popular science is very simple, that is, he hopes that if something happens to Snow Leopard's mother, some brain-dead keyboard warriors will not make random rumors to smear themselves.

Nowadays, the keyboard warriors on the Internet are very scary. They can spray you to death for anything big, let alone understand the ins and outs of things, and they are especially good at raising arguments and moral kidnapping.

Fortunately, the tourists in the live broadcast room were very kind and began to comfort her.

"Principal, don't worry, no one will discredit you because you saved the Snow Leopard's family!"

"This is a good thing with positive energy. It not only saved the snow leopard mother, but also saved six lovely snow leopard mothers. It's great!"

"Principal, don't worry! Special things are treated specially. If there is a keyboard man who sprays you, we will definitely help you spray it back!"

"That's right, we are your strong and strong backing!"

Seeing the indignation and volunteering of the tourists, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile, feeling much more relaxed, and continued: "By the way, after my observation, this snow leopard's mother is not competent. To be precise, she is also a mother." Having a baby for the first time is also overwhelming!"

"Mother Snow Leopard is incompetent?"

"how can that be?"

"Isn't it natural for animals to raise babies?"

"Principal, tell me in detail!"

"As you say, animals do have a parenting instinct, but not everything, just most of them.

They are also first-time mothers, and they don't know everything at first. "

Li Xiao smiled, and explained eloquently: "When some animal mothers give birth to their babies for the first time, they don't even have enough to eat, and they are even in danger. Naturally, they can't be like humans. There are special operating rooms. , There are specialized doctors and specialized medical staff to take care of and prepare for the whole process.

In this case, the first-born babies of many animals living in the wild have a high chance of dying.

Especially tigers, lions, leopards, bears and other beasts in estrus.

Do you still remember the big bear in my zoo? Its mother encountered a male bear in heat and had no choice but to abandon it. If it hadn’t been found by Mr. Xue, it would have died a long time ago Woo! "

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room instantly boiled.

Some excrement scavengers who often keep pets were quite touched and expressed their opinions one after another.

"My family has a British shorthair cat. After the first litter, it didn't take care of the babies or breastfeed them. If I hadn't helped take care of them all the way, I'm afraid those babies would have starved to death.

But even so, a kitten was crushed to death by the cat mother.

Even when I go to bed every night, the cat mother will put those babies one by one into my bed, and let me watch them. "

"That's right, so does my cat!"

"It's all too common for novice mothers to have female cats that don't carry kittens or crush them."

"No, I saw that this snow leopard mother is very good to her six cubs. She has been staying here, caring for them all the time, and patiently feeding them."

"The snow leopard's mother was worried that the babies would be frozen, so she deliberately put them on the blanket and curled up her body to surround them in her warmest belly. This is obviously very understanding, why is she incompetent?"

"It makes sense, Snow Leopard's mother is very conscientious!"

Some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it.

"In terms of caring for the baby, this snow leopard mother is really doing a good job, at least it is much better than some irresponsible young mothers. Every year, there is no news about a young girl who accidentally suspects it, but she doesn't want a child. , just give birth secretly, and throw them in some trash cans, toilets, and in front of the hospital!

However, I say Snow Leopard's mother is incompetent and overwhelmed! "

Li Xiao got up slowly, raised the windproof lamp in his hand, took a picture around the snow leopard mother's cave, and continued: "Everyone look carefully, is there any problem with this snow leopard mother's nest?"

this nest...

has a problem?
Faced with Li Xiao's sudden questioning, the tourists in the live broadcast room were all taken aback.

The environment of this small nest is dry enough, and the field of vision at the entrance of the cave is very spacious. You can find out whether there is an enemy attacking at the first time, and start fleeing. What's the problem?If there is a problem, it is that the cave is too small.

It can be small, at least it can accommodate the snow leopard mother and all the babies!
Seeing that the tourists in the live broadcast room were at a loss and did not reply for a long time, Li Xiao shook his head with a smile, and said: "I will give you a little science,

Snow leopard cubs learn to crawl ten days after birth.

When they are two months old, they can weigh up to [-] kilograms and have a body length of [-] millimeters. They can go out with their mother leopards.

After three or four months, they can participate in predation.

About one and a half years later, he will take the initiative to leave his mother and start to live independently.

Once independent, they will leave their homeland and travel long distances across vast expanses in search of new habitats.

This may help reduce the incidence of inbreeding.

When the cubs are about two to three years old, they will become sexually mature and start looking for other snow leopards of the opposite sex.

Snow leopard cubs don't open their eyes until about a week after birth.

Before that, they can't see anything, so they are very vulnerable, and any fox can eat them, so the snow leopard mother can't leave her cub for at least seven days after birth. Nest. "

When Li Xiao said this, some tourists who knew more about animals immediately noticed the clue.

"I get it! Mother snow leopards can't leave their dens for at least a week, so they must store enough food in or near the dens, but this mother snow leopard doesn't have any!"

"Fuck! It's really like this, I suddenly understand!"

"Smart! You understand correctly!"

Li Xiao nodded with a smile, and said, "Snow leopard mothers consume a lot of breastfeeding and raising babies.

Especially during this week, if the baby's nutrition can keep up, his physique will become great in the future.

Generally speaking, in order to feed themselves and their babies, experienced snow leopard mothers will hunt some small animals in advance and hide them near their dens, or shelters, so that they can replenish their physical strength and milk at any time.

But as you can see, there is nothing in the snow leopard's mother's den or nearby, not even a hare.

If I hadn't come here in time, I'm afraid that even if the snow leopard's mother could give birth to babies with her own ability and ability, it would be difficult to feed all the babies, and even the baby and it would be starved to death in the end.

This is just one, and second, the nest chosen by the snow leopard's mother also has a big problem! "

Speaking of this, Li Xiao looked around the small nest again, and continued: "The line of sight here is really good enough, you can quickly find the enemy attacking, but the enemy can also quickly find this place.

Here is a rocky beach, basically there is no vegetation, it is all hidden by some snow, other than that, there is no shelter.

Because of this, my drone can find the snow leopard mother hiding in the cave so quickly.

Even drones can be found, not to mention those carnivores and birds with better and sharper eyesight! "

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

The tourists in the live broadcast room finally understood the seriousness of the matter!
"Oh my god, it turns out that it is so troublesome for wild animals to choose a nest in the wild. I feel that if I were an animal, I wouldn't be able to survive even a day!"

"We humans are overwhelmed by high housing prices, but if animals don't choose a good nest, their lives may be in danger."

"I really didn't think so much before, but now that I think about it, it's really scary!"

"It must be very difficult for a lactating snow leopard mother to protect her six cubs. If there are predatory birds or other beasts sneaking up...】

"It's too scary, I don't dare to think about it!"

"Director, please protect the Snow Leopard's family of seven!"

"An experienced snow leopard mother would definitely build a shelter in a secluded place and store enough food before giving birth.

And these two points, this snow leopard mother failed.

That's why I say it's incompetent and overwhelmed.

But after all, it is the first time to be a mother, and it is normal for this to happen.

Just imagine, when we human beings become parents for the first time, whether it is making milk powder or changing diapers, we are all in a hurry and at a loss. We have to learn everything slowly! "

Li Xiao said while turning his head to look at Snow Leopard's mother not far away.

Maybe it's because after giving birth, I've exhausted too much energy, I'm really tired, maybe it's because I heard Li Xiao babbling next to me, just like listening to the teacher's lectures when I was in school and I feel sleepy, unconsciously, Snow Leopard's mother had already fallen into a drowsy sleep and snored softly.

For the highly vigilant wild Chinese snow leopards, it is almost impossible for them to sleep so comfortably with humans nearby.

But Mother Snow Leopard just fell asleep.

It is conceivable how much it trusts and trusts Li Xiao.

Looking at Snow Leopard's mother from this distance and angle, she really looks like a docile and well-behaved big cat.

The key is still white, which looks very cute.

A loving fatherly smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, he got up on tiptoe, and walked down the hill towards the car.

Snow Leopard's mother has fallen asleep peacefully, and he should catch up on it too.

Li Xiao didn't mind staying and sleeping in the snow leopard's mother's cave, but he was worried that he would snore uncontrollably at night after a hard day, which would disturb the snow leopard's mother and baby, so he started to leave.

Although the man came back, Li Xiao did not take back the drone.

The drone is filming the snow leopard mother and baby 24 hours a day. If there is any problem, it will be reminded as soon as possible. Li Xiao is also very relieved.

Li Xiao, who returned to the car and fell asleep, had no idea that in this short night, his name had been published on China's major social platforms and software.

CCTV News even reported it.

Even foreign media have begun to pay attention to and report on this incident!
After all, the snow leopard is the same as the national treasure panda, and in some other countries, there is no such thing at all.

Only distributed in Asia.

Moreover, it is still based on the Tianshan Mountains in China, and it is scattered towards some small countries around it.

They have never seen it before, so they are naturally curious.

It is even more shocking how close Xue Leopard, who is cruel by nature, can be with Li Xiao.

The foreign reports of this incident also paved the way for Li Xiao to go abroad to protect and tame animals in Australia, Africa, America and other places in the future.
