My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 313 Little Snow Leopard Opens His Eyes

"The baby snow leopard is so cute!"

"This is the legendary so delicious to fly!"

"Director: Who dares to compare me to a dog?"

"Now there appears to be one dog in the RV, but there are actually two."

Seeing the comments from the tourists, Li Xiao smiled and stopped teasing the eldest child.

The eldest baby is still too young to eat meat at all, otherwise there will be problems with his body, so Li Xiao will definitely not give it to him.

After eating and drinking, it was already nightfall.

For some unknown reason, another gust of wind blew outside.

It just so happened that Li Xiao didn't plan to go out either, so he just fell asleep after a hard day.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao, who was still asleep, felt a little wet on his face.

At first he thought it was Xiao Hei who was licking himself with his tongue.

But when he opened his hazy eyes, he froze for a moment.

Because it was the snow leopard mother who licked her.

It looks like a puppy.

Seeing Li Xiao wake up, he let out a low growl in excitement.

As if greeting Li Xiao.

After two days of getting along, Snow Leopard's mother witnessed Li Xiao's careful rescue and meticulous care for her, and felt unprecedented love and warmth. Naturally, she began to completely let go of her guard and completely relied on Li Xiao.

"You seem to be more energetic. It seems that yesterday's big meal was not in vain."

Seeing the radiant look of the snow leopard mother, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing, and sat up slowly, reaching out to touch the big furry head of the snow leopard mother.

She seemed to enjoy the comfort brought by Li Xiao's head touching. When Li Xiao put down her hand, Snow Leopard's mother acted like a baby and gently arched Li Xiao's hand with her head, signaling Li Xiao to continue to touch it a few more times.

This coquettish, cute and unsuspecting posture, coupled with the sincere tenderness and intimacy in his eyes, is full of absolute trust in Li Xiao.

This is a good thing.

But Li Xiao frowned, and his heart sank.

From a personal point of view, Li Xiao is naturally happy to be completely trusted by Snow Leopard's mother.

But in the long run, or from the perspective of the reproduction of snow leopard mothers and the entire snow leopard population, this is not a good thing.

You know, the Chinese Snow Leopard is the overlord of the Tianshan Mountains.

Although the number is rare, it is at least not completely extinct, or even endangered.

But this is the result of the hard work of countless staff who have studied rare animals for several years, ten years, or even decades.

Otherwise, the Chinese Snow Leopard might really be extinct.

Because many self-righteous rich people will wear animal fur as a very proud thing, and even collect the fur of various exotic animals.

The fur of the snow leopard is naturally also their target.

There are even folk rumors that snow leopards are full of treasures, whether it is leopard skin or bones, or heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and whip, all of which can be used as medicine to strengthen the body and be of great help to the human body.

Many years ago, many poachers sneaked into the area of ​​Tianshan Mountain, especially some foreign poachers also sneaked in, hunting and catching snow leopards non-stop.

Because their country has nothing, they naturally have to go to other countries to continuously invade, poach and occupy, completely banditry.

In 08 alone, 450 snow leopards were killed by poachers.

For Chinese snow leopards, the most dangerous thing has never been the dangerous natural environment, but human beings.

Because they can survive in this harsh environment and completely dominate.

There is black and white in this world, and there are good people and bad people.

But now, because of her own reasons, this snow leopard mother has developed a good impression, trust and dependence on humans.

If you're only feeling those emotions about yourself, you're pretty optimistic.

But if because of itself, it has these emotions for all human beings, then Wuwu is a precursor to tragedy.

Li Xiao really couldn't imagine that if one day, poachers sneaked into this area.

But this young snow leopard mother still believes that human beings can be trusted, and wants to get close to her, but she aims at her really cold muzzle...

Whoosh!
A bullet fired from the chamber!
What kind of human tragedy would that be?
Although Li Xiao's eyes are now looking at Snow Leopard's mother, he has already thought of this picture in his mind, and suddenly his whole body becomes cold, and he can't help but get goose bumps all over his body!

No!

This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen! ! !
Li Xiao thought about taking the snow leopard family of seven back to the zoo, so as to ensure the safety of the snow leopard family of seven, but this is completely unrealistic.

Not to mention how difficult it is to artificially feed snow leopards.

The first and foremost problem is the environment.

Wild snow leopards have fully adapted to living and hunting on the high mountains of thousands of meters, but now they have no way to create a high mountain environment of thousands of meters.

And the most important point is reproduction.

The number of wild Chinese snow leopards is small. At present, there are only more than 4000, not even [-]. Especially the number of females is even smaller. If you take one with you, the local male snow leopards will lose one mating partner. The breeding and continuation of the entire snow leopard population is also less.

Just like today's human beings, there are far fewer girls than boys, and there is no way to make one-to-one matches, so many men can't find a partner at all.

But even so, there are still many rich and powerful men who occupy several girls at once.

Even some women are in love with women.

The probability of causing a match has widened the gap again greatly.

Men are not given a chance at all.

Li Xiao doesn't want to be a stumbling block in the breeding of snow leopards.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao stood up in a flash.

He immediately made a major decision: in the next few days, he will help the snow leopard mother hunt in the wild, so that her hunting skills can be more refined, so that she can catch food quickly and effectively after she leaves. You won't leave yourself and your babies hungry.

Secondly, we must teach the snow leopard mother every day and even every moment, telling it not to entrust its trust to every human being, and to maintain a certain degree of vigilance when seeing human beings.

The more vigilance, the more hope of living!
Just do it.

After Li Xiao washed up briefly, he left the RV with Snow Leopard's mother.

Xiao Hei and Guo'er were left to look after the house.

With the two of them, it is enough to guarantee the safety of the snow leopard babies.

For the next few days, Li Xiao took Snow Leopard's mother out every day.

Li Xiao gave snow leopard mother more hunting skills.

Mother Snow Leopard took Li Xiao to learn more about the local landforms and environment.

Before he knew it, Li Xiao had been in Tianshan for a whole week.

During this week, the snow leopard mother's hunting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. She is the overlord of the Tianshan Mountains. Its claws, teeth, and even every part and structure of the body can make it quickly dominate the complex environment of the Tianshan Mountains. With Li The more skills and wisdom this human being entrusts to it, the more comfortable it will be.

Secondly, the snow leopard babies have opened their eyes one after another.

The eyes of the snow leopard baby who just opened their eyes are extremely clear, like a clear spring, it is true that there is light in the eyes.

The snow leopard cubs didn't recognize their birth either, probably because they had become familiar with Li Xiao's smell in the past few days, and they were not afraid of Li Xiao just after opening their eyes, and they always chased and played with Li Xiao.

Even during Li Xiao's lunch break, he would always climb onto Li Xiao's stomach and fight on his stomach.

However, out of consideration for the safety of the snow leopard babies, Li Xiao never took them out of the RV from beginning to end.

Because the little snow leopard is too milky and its smell is too obvious, it is easy to be captured by some ferocious beasts, so they take the opportunity to come here to attack.

In the wild, many beasts that cannot catch their prey will always do this kind of thing.

They can't catch adult prey, so they can only bully newborn babies.

Because Xiao Hei and Guo'er have been patrolling near the RV, the baby snow leopards have also mixed with them, and are not afraid of them at all, and playfully play with a Guo'er feather from time to time.

At noon on the seventh day in the snow mountain, this was the last time Li Xiao went hunting with the snow leopard mother.

Tomorrow, Li Xiao planned to leave.

Now the snow leopard mother is in good condition, and the snow leopard cubs have gradually grown up, so Li Xiao no longer has to stay.

Leaving early can also allow the snow leopard family of seven to quickly adapt to life in the wild without humans.

However, out of consideration for the safety of Snow Leopard's family of seven, Li Xiao didn't go directly back to the Gushan Zoo, but planned to take Xiao Hei and Guo'er for a tour deep into the Tianshan Mountains.

It’s hard to come here once, so naturally we have to see more of the beautiful scenery of Tianshan Mountain, and it’s best to see some rare animals.

When wandering out from the depths of the Tianshan Mountains, Li Xiao would take another look at the snow leopard's family of seven to make sure they were safe and well and had fully adapted before returning to the Gushan Zoo.

Deep in the dense grass, beside the calm stream, a yellow yellow sheep is drinking water leisurely.

Occasionally shake the ears.

This is listening to what's going on around you.

Seemingly relaxed, but very alert.

"That's it for dinner today!"

Li Xiao and Snow Leopard's mother hid in the grass, each staring at the gazelle.

Following Li Xiao's decisive swing of his right hand, Snow Leopard's mother, who received the order, rushed out.

Like an arrow leaving the string.

Lightning fast.

Following Snow Leopard's mother's immediate action, Li Xiao got up and prepared to chase after her.

It's not that he doesn't trust Snow Leopard's mother, but that he wants to observe closely.

In the hunting a few days ago, the snow leopard mother and Li Xiao cooperated, Li Xiao would be in charge of going around, and the snow leopard mother would charge frontally and attack from both sides, so as to quickly succeed.

But today is different, in order to confirm that the snow leopard mother has the ability to hunt alone before leaving, Li Xiao will not make a move, relying entirely on the snow leopard mother.

Li Xiao just got up when suddenly, the tourists in the live broadcast room became excited.

"Director, look to your left!"

"Director, move the camera over!"

"Damn it! What is that?"

"Did I read it wrong, or my illusion, why do I feel that it is a sheep?"

"How is it possible? How can a sheep appear on a steep rock face?"

"That's right! The rock wall on the left is almost tilted at ninety degrees, how can it be possible to climb up?"

"Good guy! I even met blue sheep!"

Li Xiao, who was reminded, moved the camera over, turned his head to look at it, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's another national second-class protected animal!"

"Blue sheep?"

"A sheep climbing a cliff?"

"This sheep is really not afraid of death!"

"Don't worry about it so much, the lamb kebabs come down quickly!"

"To be able to climb such a high rock wall, its meat must be very strong. To be honest, I am greedy!"

"I see punishment!!!"

Li Xiao didn't approach, fearing to disturb the blue sheep, he began to popularize science: "The blue sheep, as the name suggests, are sheep that climb rock walls. The reason why they climb rock walls is to lick the salt on the rock walls.

This kind of sheep is part sheep and part goat.

But its horns are not as crooked as those of a sheep, nor does it have a goat's beard.

It is very simple to distinguish the sex of blue sheep. The front edges of male limbs have black stripes, while females do not. Both males and females have horns, but the horns of females are very short.

The one in front of me is obviously male!

As for how it climbed up, it naturally climbed up step by step from the bottom. Although the rock wall is almost vertical, and the place where it rests is rarely small, it is enough for it! "

"It's amazing!"

"I look so worried!"

"It's like giving it a bag of salt to keep it from working so hard. It's just outside!"

"Do you think that people climb rock walls just to eat salt, and they also want to escape for their lives, so you are not foolish!"

"Here comes the question, blue sheep like to eat salt so much, why don't they live by the sea?"

"Why does it have to eat salt, why can't it eat grass?"

"Will blue sheep suddenly fall down and die?"

"It is said that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, so how did the blue sheep get down?"

Facing this rare and rare animal, the tourists in the live broadcast room were full of curiosity. As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, they all expressed their doubts.

Li Xiao was very patient and answered one by one, saying: "The first question, you eat every day, do you have to live in the rice fields every day? And sea salt is different from rock salt, there are still minerals on the rock wall, sea salt is more What needs to be extracted, you don't think the blue sheep's stomach can be extracted automatically, do you?
The second question, the reason why blue sheep eat salt is because they have to marinate themselves to taste, so that they are delicious when roasted!The old man said that if you don’t eat salt, you will lose strength. Animals also eat salt, but the way of intake is different! "

Li Xiao answered jokingly at the front, but seriously at the back.

Immediately amused the tourists.

"Who raised these two questions, I am so amusing!"

"The principal's answer is absolutely perfect!"

"We all like money, why don't we live in the bank?"

"My ex-boyfriend likes to eat seafood, why doesn't he live under the sea?"

"Because blue sheep don't know how to float on water, but only know how to move clouds on Wudang ladder, so they don't live on the beach."

"Because blue sheep can't afford a sea-view house, they don't live there."

"Oh my god! Commenting on talents since ancient times, I was laughing so hard that I was pooping, and I cut it off!"
