Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl Chapter 113 – Chapter 113: Chapter 113: What Grows on Trees if Not Pandas

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: What Grows on Trees if Not Pandas
 

Chen Ying was knocked aside by Yin Li rushing toward him, and then Little Leo fell to the ground holding onto the branch, rolled over, and stood up shaking his head vigorously.

The little monkey in the tree squeaked in fright, quickly rushing into Chen Ying's arms, shivering.

“Wang'er, how did I fall?”

Leo's whiny voice rose, and he looked up, seemingly puzzled as to how the branch had broken.

Chen Ying closed his eyes, “Did you ever consider how heavy you are? Sixty kilograms, do you think you're still a baby?”

“Wang'er, not sixty kilograms, I'm only six hundred kilograms!”

It was confirmed, this one is a little fool!

The little fool, Leo, looked up at another branch, eager to try.

Falling down felt rather fun, with thick fallen leaves cushioning the ground, it hurt just a bit, but that fast, falling sensation was so thrilling!

Baobao loved it!

Seeing the carefree sixty kilograms hustling its short legs trying to climb the tree again, Chen Ying quickly scooped him up.

“Ying ying ying, (╥╯^╰╥), let go of me, I want to climb the tree!”

Chen Ying slapped Leo on his bouncy rear end.

“Still climbing, you won't be satisfied until you scare me to death, will you? Later, let your mom teach you how to be a bear.”

The Black Bear Sister across was delighted, her mouth open in a big laugh.

Exactly, just need a good smack, this disobedient little bear doesn't care about its own life, if a smack doesn't fix it, smack again.

Their black bears are better, never heard of one falling to its death.

After watching a good show, Miss Bear yawned again, waving her paw to indicate she was off to sleep, telling Chen Ying to bother her less.

Luckily, on the way back, Yin Li was there to help.

Little troublemaker Leo saw a tree and instantly wanted to climb, several times they almost couldn't catch him.

It gets harder to manage kids when they grow up, better leave it to Jiaojiao to worry about in the future.

After taking Leo back, the little monkey also followed him up the tree, both little ones sat on the tree eating Guoguo.

Under the tree, camping chairs and tables set up, the three sat down for a tea and chat.

“The land between Xiaozhai Village and the town seems to have been allocated to a rescue foundation. A project to rescue moon bears.”

Yin Li opened up the village group chat and took a look, “Previously, this base was located at Long Bridge, the only rescue base in the country. But it's a bit small, so there are plans to establish a bigger park to help the black bears. The old base won't be dismantled, it'll serve as a science education base.”

No wonder the street rat had his eye on that bear.

At that place, black bears chosen usually have good physical conditions, capable of semi-wild life.

Currently, the bears at Long Bridge base are those that require careful human care, having lost their ability to live in the wild.

“Is there a possibility that the bears in the Bear Garden could pair up with wild bears, and gradually return to a wild lifestyle?”

Yin Li shrugged, “I'm not the expert on that, why don't you discuss it with them yourself. But I think it should be feasible, though too many bears can't be rewilded in the same area as it could cause the ecosystem to collapse.”

As a veterinarian, Chen Ying obviously understood this.

He planned to observe for a while and find the right opportunity to discuss further.

After all, the street rat's love affair was just budding, and they would have to wait until next year to see if there was a chance for it to blossom.

Not long into their conversation, they heard the little monkey urgently calling; it was pulling on Leo's short tail, dragging him up to higher ground.

“Leo, come down quickly, be careful not to fall.”

Little Sen was terrified and almost wanted to climb up after it but was grabbed by Chen Ying.

“You silly? Can you climb trees as well as it can? This little thing is just curious, just learned how to climb trees. To get it down, we probably have to wait until it's hungry or its mother comes back.”

Climbing trees is a natural instinct for pandas and Leo couldn't be restrained, but inevitably, there were concerns about him falling and hurting himself.

Luckily, the forest floor wasn't hard. Later, gathering some leaves and dry grass to cushion any fall might reduce the injury depending on how recklessly the little fellow acted.

Little Sen also had a specialty, making delicious corn bread. He also mixed a bowl of honey with apples in milk and tried hard to lure Leo at the base of the tree.

Little Monkey saw his friend wouldn't come down from the tree and couldn't do anything about it, so he slithered down and went to tattle to Chen Ying.

Patting Little Monkey's head, Chen Ying told him not to worry and casually handed him a piece of apple.

“Right Brother Ying, did you check on Little Owl Mother on the third floor? Her chicks have hatched, but they're quite ugly.”

Long-striped Small Owl is a late bloomer, after hatching, they only have a layer of down and it takes a while before feathers grow.

Before their feathers grew in, they looked like fluffy little meatballs.

(For those with a fear of mice, don't look too closely at this, frightening!)

Bird mother had hatched three Small Owl chicks, but one died accidentally, leaving two still in the nest.

Little Sen checked on them daily and there was also a camera Dr. Gao had installed before he left, which allowed monitoring of the chicks in the nest.

“After one chick died, I thought about removing it, but then I saw Bird mother carry it off, not knowing where she dumped it.”

Beyond the meat bars arranged by Little Sen, Little Owl Mother also caught mice to feed her kids extra meals.

The scene was a bit hard to stomach, Little Sen couldn't bear to look for long.

The down on the two chicks was beautiful, and they had already started waddling around the nest, occasionally butting heads and playing with each other.

Bird mother raising the chicks alone is tough, but thankfully humans helped, reducing foraging time and offering better protection for the chicks.

While they were talking, Bird mother, who typically stayed in the nest during the day, appeared and threw a dead mouse at Little Sen.

Little Sen instinctively reached out. Upon seeing it clearly, he jumped frantically, his yelp frightening Leo in the tree, who flipped and hugged the trunk, sneakily peeking down.

Chen Ying and Yin Li gave unabashed, barbell-like chuckles.

Little Owl Mother tilted her head at Little Sen, as if she didn't understand why this two-legged beast wouldn't eat such delicious food. Was it too small for him?

Little Sen rushed to wash his hands in the bathroom, emphasizing to Bird mother that he really didn't eat that, no thanks!

Though touched, he was very tired.

Seeing the little mouse lying on the platform, Little Owl Mother hesitated then flew down, picked it up, and planned to take it back for her kids to eat.

As for the two-legged beast, perhaps she'd catch a bigger one for him next time.

Ah, two-legged beasts are really too picky.

Chen Ying mischievously didn't offer any explanations to Bird mother, instead, he took a small bowl of meat up to see how the chicks had grown.

In the nest house, Bird mother carefully tore Mouse Bar to feed to her children, seeming to sense someone was watching them through the camera. She extended her head, eyes meeting the camera lens, nearly startling Chen Ying, who was unprepared.

Placing the small bowl of meat on the platform outside the nest house, Chen Ying checked the other birdhouses.

Nearly half of the birdhouses showed signs of use.

But based on the dust and leaf remnants outside the birdhouses, it seemed no birds had stayed there for at least a week.

Having cleaned the birdhouses slightly, Chen Ying didn't tidy up the inside of the nests, as the natural state was more attractive to birds.

Just as he left, a little bird with a white top flew from the woods, peeked around, and then darted into the birdhouse it found satisfactory.
