Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 15 Beautiful Firetail Sunbird
Lin Xuan squatted down, checked the physical condition of the other two giant panda cubs, and then checked whether the giant panda mother had enough milk.

After a few minutes, Lin Xuan's complexion was a little dignified.

Although he has helped the giant panda mother take care of a baby panda, but the giant panda mother did not eat much today, resulting in insufficient milk.

It is possible that he can help these two giant panda cubs, but now the giant panda mother's milk has not been sufficient, so he can't let the three giant panda cubs all eat baby milk powder.

It's good that the time is short, but if the time is too long, the giant panda cubs will stop eating the milk of the giant panda mother, and the development of the matter will become even worse.

Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to wait for a while and help the giant panda mother find some food so that it could supplement nutrition.

"You two children, watch, I'll find you something to eat later."

"Woooo~~"

The giant panda mother nodded when she heard Lin Xuan's words, and gave him a grateful look.

Putting the baby panda back into the mother's abdomen, Lin Xuan comforted the mother, then got up and left.

Now the giant panda baby in the incubator is still sleeping and probably won't wake up for the time being, so he doesn't plan to take it away with him. Besides, he is just looking for some food that giant pandas can eat nearby, and he will be back soon .

He put his backpack on his back, and after everything was ready, he set out into the jungle.

(Is the anchor going to find food for the giant panda mother?)
(Don’t you bring the giant panda baby in the incubator? If the giant panda baby wakes up and cannot see the anchor, it will probably scream.)
Lin Xuan glanced at the live broadcast room, seeing the doubts raised by the audience,
He explained: "The baby panda in the incubator is still sleeping for the time being, and won't wake up so soon. I'll be back after a while."

"According to my observation just now, the milk of the giant panda mother is not very sufficient. In addition, the giant panda mother has not eaten for a day, so I plan to find some food for it to supplement nutrition. In this way, there will be enough milk to raise two children."

(Oh, so that's the case. I mean just now the anchor squatted in front of the giant panda mother, looking left and right. What was he doing? I didn't expect the anchor to be so careful.)
(Yes, the anchor is really nice, delivering babies to the giant panda mother, taking care of the giant panda cubs, and now helping the giant panda mother find food.)
"After all, I have helped their family, and I don't want panda babies to suffer from poor health due to insufficient milk."

Here, since there are giant pandas, there are naturally bamboos. Lin Xuan didn't walk for long before he saw the bamboo that giant pandas like to eat.

Cold arrow bamboo and Chinese orange bamboo.

Because these two kinds of bamboo are relatively tender and brittle, rich in nutrition and good in taste.

Generally, the bamboos eaten by giant pandas are: Siji bamboo, mottled bamboo, purple bamboo, bow bamboo, peach silk bamboo, filial piety bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, Fengwei bamboo, gold inlaid green bamboo, Longgong bamboo, osmanthus bamboo, Qi bamboo, square bamboo, cat bamboo, Double bamboo, Keting bamboo, cluster bamboo and so on.

According to observations by scientists, wild giant pandas in high mountainous areas eat all kinds of bamboo.

So far, no bamboo has been found that giant pandas do not eat.

It generally likes to eat the tender stems, twigs, bamboo shoots and sometimes leaves of bamboo.Generally, tall bamboos and old bamboos that have grown for a long time are not eaten.

Giant pandas raised in captivity mostly use Lengjianzhu, Huajuzhu and other bamboo shoots as their staple food. In addition, in order to supplement nutrition, they are fed carrots, white radishes, apples, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pears, bananas, cucumbers, wax gourds, tender corn, and milk. etc.

In short, wild giant pandas mainly feed on the tender and crisp parts of bamboo. When food is scarce, they can eat food suitable for them.

Lin Xuan took out a small machete from his backpack, and started to help the giant panda get bamboo.

Of course, he also commanded no one to look around in the sky.

There are many other wild animals in this jungle. If some ferocious wild animals hear the movement when I chop bamboo again, it will be bad.

(Anchor, look, what kind of bird is that, so beautiful!!)

(Wow, its tail is so long!!)
While Lin Xuan was getting bamboo for the giant panda mother, the audience in the live broadcast room found a very beautiful bird on a branch not far away through the drone's perspective.

"Oh, what did you find?"

Lin Xuan took the time to take a look, and seeing that the audience had become interested in a bird, he smiled slightly, and then looked at the camera.

"Oh, this is the Sunbird."

(Sunbird?)
(Such a strange name?)

(However, looking at the color of this bird, there are many places on its body, it is indeed fiery red.)
"Haha, when it comes to Sunbird, I have to tell an allusion."

"Everyone knows that the phoenix is ​​a very well-known totem in our country, and its status is even comparable to that of the dragon to some extent."

"But of course there is no phoenix in reality, and the only birds that are similar to it are peacocks."

"However, there is a kind of bird, although its size is far from the legendary phoenix, it really looks like a phoenix."

"It's just a mini mini version, because its adult body length is only about [-] centimeters. The name of this bird is the fire-tailed sunbird."

"According to the biological classification, firetail sunbirds belong to the order Passeriformes, the family Sunbird, and the genus Sunbird."

"At present, there are two kinds of firetail sunbirds in the world, one is the named subspecies of firetail sunbird, and the other is the Burmese subspecies of firetail sunbird."

No matter which subspecies of firetail sunbird it is, it is very beautiful. Its feathers are red, blue, brown, purple, orange, yellow, olive, brown and other colors, even if it is a phoenix. , in terms of the color of the feathers, I'm afraid it can't compare with this cute little bird.

Although small in size and gaudy in appearance, firetail sunbirds are extremely adaptable to the environment. Even today, they are typical non-threatening species, and they are only three protected animals in our country.

The fire-tailed sunbird has a relatively wide distribution range. In addition to our country, it also maintains a very stable breeding state in India, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, Bangladesh and other countries.

Fire-tailed sunbirds do not have high requirements for habitats, whether they are evergreen broad-leaved forests, coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, or shrublands, they can be found everywhere.

However, according to the different seasons, the activity area of ​​​​the fire-tailed sunbird also has certain changes.

(It turned out to be like this. No wonder the tail of this bird is so long, like a fire. It is estimated that this is also the origin of its name.)
