Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 31 The Pink and White Blind Snake
"Such an edible giant panda baby will definitely grow very round in the future (funny)."

"Haha, even if this giant panda baby grows round in the future, I still like it,"

After a while, the giant panda mother will also belong to her and her cub's exclusive nest, and he has built it.

For wild animals, their own nests don't need to be too luxurious, as long as they can hide from the rain and sleep warmer, that's enough.

"Sizzle~~"

Right here, Xiaoqing seemed to have discovered something, and was spitting out something.

When Lin Xuan heard the movement, he saw a creature that looked like a snake on a few fallen leaves.

Its whole body presents a light pinkish white color, its head and the two ends of its tail have the same appearance, and there is no obviously thinner neck on its body, and its eyes have degenerated into two small dots.

The scales on the head are very fine and the same size as those on the rest of the body, and there is a very small, pointed scale at the end of the tail.

"What is this? Is it a snake?"

"It does look a bit like a snake, but it also looks like a big earthworm."

"I remember that when my family plowed the land, I found a very thick earthworm."

"This snake-like creature looks so cute!"

"Indeed, it's pink and white. It might be good if it's used as a pet."

"Being a pet? What a quirk upstairs."

"Anchor, what kind of creature is this? Is it a snake?"

"Yes, this is a snake, and its name is the Blind Snake."

"It is small, cylindrical, and earthworm-like. It is the smallest known snake in our country, with a total length of about 84-164 mm."

"The head is small, semi-circular, with no distinction between the head and neck; the tip of the snout is blunt and round; the tail is very short and the end is blunt."

"The nasal scales are divided into front and rear halves by the scale groove, with the nostrils in between; there are 4 scales on the upper lip, the first one is the smallest and the last one is the largest."

"The differentiation of dorsal and ventral scales is not obvious, and the whole body is covered with round scales of the same size, with 1 rows of rings per week."

"The back is brown, brown, blue-gray or dark brown or brown, the belly is lighter, and the snout, anus and tail tip are all mixed with white."

"And the color of the blind snake we saw is more beautiful."

"And blind snakes are non-venomous."

"It only eats small bugs and doesn't bite people."

"Thinking about the netizen who just mentioned upstairs, the blind snake can indeed be kept as a pet, as long as you are not afraid of snakes."

"It turned out to be like this."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and signaled Xiaoqing not to worry, then he squatted beside the blind snake and stretched out his left and right sides.

The blind snake, perhaps attracted by Lin Xuan's breath, unexpectedly crawled onto Lin Xuan's left hand slowly and tentatively.

Holding its slender body, Lin Xuan zoomed in on the camera.

"The skin of a blind snake is relatively delicate and fragile. Even if we gently pinch it, it may cause damage to it, and if we grab it directly, we will frighten it, so we can only try to let it Do it yourself."

"In addition, blind snakes also have a long lifespan. Even if they do not eat for a long time, they will not die."

"It's very difficult to see this little guy at ordinary times. It only appears to look for food after the heavy rain."

"Usually, you can only stay in some cold rock crevices, or under dry and wet fallen leaves."

"So, we can see this blind snake today, which shows that we are lucky."

"Indeed, in the mountains and forests, after the heavy rain, you can see different scenery."

"And today, we also have the opportunity to see such a beautiful blind snake."

"In fact, molecular biology has revealed the latest progress in the evolution of blind snakes long before."

"In their systematic analysis of more than 3000 species of snakes, they concluded that all snakes today belong to two main lineages."

"One lineage is the blind snake group, with more than [-] species, but most of them are similar in size and lifestyle."

"The second lineage includes all the other snake species, there are more than 300 species in total, and the lifestyle is also diverse."

"They said that the biggest characteristic of blind snakes is the loss of vision,"

"Living in an extremely secretive environment, it is often overlooked by researchers."

"However, their study is of crucial importance for understanding the origin, evolution and geographical distribution of snakes."

"A mechanism like the blind snake that can actively reduce its body's metabolism to a minimum and remain completely still to prolong its own survival time is a very miraculous thing, and it is very worthy of research."

"It's just that in order to ensure that this species does not flow out, foreign countries rarely agreed to give such rare little things to foreign countries. Even if they were gifts, they only gave males to prevent foreign breeding."

"But the situation is different now. There are also blind snakes in our country. It can be foreseen that in the next few years, our related research will definitely achieve rapid development!"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan looked at the blind snake on his left hand. He smiled slightly, found a big mosquito on a leaf, and brought it to the blind snake's mouth.

But the blind snake, who had just been motionless and looked very nervous, suddenly opened its mouth, bit the mosquito in one bite, and swallowed it.

"Wow, when she didn't open her mouth, she looked like a good girl, but when the food was brought to her mouth, she actually swallowed it in one gulp."

"Indeed, but I'm also very happy to see such a beautiful little creature."

After feeding the blind snake, Lin Xuan put his left hand on the ground to let the blind snake leave.

The blind snake moved its body, and then slowly climbed down from Lin Xuan's left hand.

Seeing that the blind snake had returned to the fallen leaves, Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not bother this cute little guy, let it go back."

Not long after the blind snake left, Xiaoqing crawled to Lin Xuan's left and rubbed her head against it.

"What's the matter, little guy?"

Seeing Xiaoqing rubbing his head against his left hand, Lin Xuan pursed his lips and smiled.

After speaking, I saw Xiaoqing crawling directly onto his left hand just like the blind snake just now.

Then crawled quietly like this.

???

"Xiaoqing is jealous?"

"The blind snake was crawling on the anchor's left hand just now, and after Xiaoqing waited for the blind snake to leave, he also imitated the blind snake's appearance."

"Is it because the Blind Snake is not happy because it has been in the anchor's hands for a long time? It also wants to stay in the anchor's hands for a while?"

"Haha, Xiaoqing of our family has such a good relationship with the anchor, and it's normal to act like a baby occasionally."

"Indeed, after all, Xiaoqing is a girl. The anchor is equivalent to Xiaoqing's father. It is normal for a child to act like a baby in front of his father."

? ?
Looking at the barrage in the anchor room, describing himself as Xiaoqing's father, Lin Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.
