"Is this Big Cat's mother? Her head is so round. It turns out that Big Cat inherited her mother's genes."
In the exhibition room of the Lingchuan Snow Leopard Rescue, Breeding and Conservation Center, Zou Linlin looked at a photo of two round heads, one large and one small, and was surprised.
This is exactly the same snow leopard, okay?
No wonder big cats have such round heads.
"It's not just the round head." Lu Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Big Tou's mother is also much heavier than the average snow leopard, which is why Big Tou is so fat now."
"Really?" Zou Linlin smiled and said, "Then who is Big Cat's father?"
Since big cats inherit their mother’s head and weight, what do they inherit from their father?
"We don't know much about this." Lu Xiaoyan said: "When the mother who rescued Datou came back, she didn't see Datou's father nearby."
"That means you haven't met Big Maomao's father, Sister Xiaoyan?" Zou Linlin said.
"Yes, it is."
Lu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "But this does not affect Datou being the most popular snow leopard in the conservation center."
"Take a look at this one. This one was specially taken by National Geographic for Datou, and this one is a photo of him when he was a child."
"It's so beautiful." Zou Linlin looked at the photo and smiled, took out her phone and started taking pictures.
She wants to take these photos and then go home to make a photo wall for the big cat.
"There are also these snow leopards who lived at the same time as Datou, but they are not as big as Datou." Lu Xiaoyan continued to introduce.
"Oh, it's so cute. It just seems a little thin and doesn't look as cute as a big cat." Zou Linlin said after hearing this and looking at it.
"So Datou is the signature of our center." Lu Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Would you like to take a look at the other snow leopards from the same period as Datou? They are all in the center now."
"Really? That's great." Zou Linlin was a little surprised after hearing this, and then asked doubtfully: "Since the big cat is the center's signature, why haven't the other snow leopards been released? Only the big cat has been released?"
Compared to other snow leopard cats, the big cat is obviously the cutest, okay? What if you leave the big cat in the center? Wouldn't it be better than leaving other snow leopards in the center?
"This is not about keeping who is cuter in the center." Lu Xiaoyan heard this and said with a smile: "The snow leopards that are released need to undergo rewilding training, and then the ones with the best results are selected from them. The snow leopard was released.”
"Although we can't lead them to hunt like the snow leopards, we will use various methods to let them learn to hunt."
"Catching rabbits and catching chickens are their regular training items. Only those who stand out in this actual performance will be carried out in the next training."
"Does that mean Big Maomao is the snow leopard with the best performance in the entire center?" After hearing this, Zou Linlin immediately understood.
"Yes." Lu Xiaoyan nodded and said:
"Compared to other snow leopards, Datou's results are much higher."
"When other snow leopards are busy catching rabbits and chickens, only the big one will lie down and ignore them first, and then wait until the rabbits and chickens completely relax their vigilance and kill them with one strike."
"And this is also the conventional method used by snow leopards to hunt prey. Because compared to tigers and lions, leopards can only take advantage of their speed when making sneak attacks."
"Hua Hua"
"Hua Hua"
Just as the two were talking, something shook and Li Xianzhong's voice came from outside: "That's it, the big head keeps jumping. You are much better than before."
"Dong dong"
There were several more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"What are they doing?" After hearing the sound, Zou Linlin asked curiously.
"She must be climbing a pole. Only climbing a pole can make such a sound." Lu Xiaoyan laughed after hearing this.
"What is pole climbing?" Zou Linlin couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
"It's just a small ball hanging on a ten-meter-long wooden pole, and then the snow leopard will climb up and then climb down." Lu Xiaoyan explained with a smile:
"This is also part of the rewilding training, in order to train the snow leopard's climbing ability and ability to withstand falls. After all, snow leopards can easily fall off cliffs when hunting."
"So we specially developed this training method."
"Then it won't hurt if the snow leopard falls from a height of ten meters?" Zou Linlin was surprised when she heard this.
"It will hurt, but it won't be too serious." Lu Xiaoyan continued to explain:
"We don't intentionally drop them. They fall because they accidentally stepped on the air."
"And we won't set it so high when we first start training. We will start training them from 6 meters."
"Wait until they get used to it and then gradually increase it."
"Like this? That big cat is so hard." Upon hearing this, Zou Linlin couldn't help but say.
"It's not hard." Lu Xiaoyan heard this and said with a smile: "This is Datou's favorite sport. Don't look at him because he is so fat, but he has very good skills and basically will not make mistakes."
"You can tell how much fun Big Head is having by listening to the noise outside."
"No way?" Zou Linlin said in disbelief after hearing this.
How could a big cat enjoy such dangerous training?
"This is true." Lu Xiaoyan said, "Linlin, come with me and see for yourself."
"Okay." Zou Linlin nodded and replied.
Then the two of them left the exhibition room and walked outside.
In the open space not far from the exhibition room, Ling Chong launched a charge towards a standing wooden pole.
It looked like a ten-meter wooden pole. Ling Chong jumped up and grabbed the wooden pole with his paws, immediately lifting his whole body off the ground. His limbs alternated a few times in the air, and he reached the top in a few seconds.
"Amazing."
Zou Linlin couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this scene after leaving the exhibition room. She didn't expect Ling Chong to be so flexible, and he could climb up the ten-meter wooden pole in just a few clicks.
"Dangdang"
"Dangdang"
Ling Chong, who climbed to the top, grabbed the tied ball with one paw and held the wooden pole firmly with the other three paws.
After slapping the ball five or six times, he retracted his paws and climbed down flexibly.
"Well done, Datou." Li Xianzhong smiled upon seeing this and said, "You are faster than before. It seems that all you have grown is muscles."
"Very well, how about we take a break and play again?"
Can.
After hearing this, Ling Chong nodded and lay down next to Li Xianzhong.
This wooden pole is a little lower, so it's not as challenging as it used to be.
But the center didn’t have anything else that he liked to play, so he reluctantly continued to play.
"Big Cat, you are so awesome."
After Zou Linlin came over, she squatted down next to Ling Chong and held Ling Chong's big head with both hands and said:
"I just saw it. Our big cat is so brave."
"The ten-meter wooden pole can be easily climbed up."
It's only ten meters, not that high.
No matter how high I am, I can climb up at will. Do you really think that I am a little expert in climbing and am joking?
And Miss Shit Shoveler, can you coax me with verbal performances like you would a child? I am already an adult snow leopard.
What is needed now is substantial rewards, such as beef, chicken racks, etc.
"The big head is even bigger when it stands up, and the tail looks more than four meters long." Li Xianzhong said when he saw Lu Xiaoyan coming over.
He didn't expect that Big Tou would be so tall when he stood up. It seemed that Big Tou had grown a lot during this time.
"Well, I saw it."
Lu Xiaoyan nodded after hearing this. She was also shocked just now.
I didn't expect that Da Tou would look so big after climbing up the wooden pole. It seems that Da Tou has grown into an incredible snow leopard.
"Okay, big cat, get up and stop lying down." Zou Linlin rubbed Ling Chong's big head and said:
"If you like climbing poles, go ahead and play. It'll help you lose weight. Look at your fat belly and it's almost turning into a seal."
With that said, he patted Ling Chong's big belly.
"Wave"
With just a soft sound, Zou Linlin's hand that pressed down bounced back.
"So flexible."
Zou Linlin pinched and smiled.
ah? Miss Shit Shovel Officer, you have changed.
In the past, you always rewarded me with food after praising me. Why are you saying I'm fat now?
After hearing this, Ling Chong couldn't help but open his mouth. This was completely different from what he thought. Is this what everyone said that love would disappear?
"What's wrong with you, Datou?" Lu Xiaoyan squatted down and held Ling Chong's chin and said, "Why do you open your mouth when you have nothing to do? Are your teeth infested with worms? Do you want my sister to check it for you?"
"Speaking of which, sister hasn't checked your teeth for a long time."
No, no, my teeth are fine and I don’t need to check them.
After hearing this, Ling Chong immediately came to his senses and jumped up from the ground with a catapult. He had seen the keeper lady pull out the teeth of other snow leopards.
He didn't want that scene to be bloody.
"Big Cat, are you scared?"
Zou Linlin said after seeing this scene.
The big cat can jump very well, as if there are springs on the soles of its feet. It can jump so high.
"Yes, I was shocked when I said I wanted to check my teeth." Lu Xiaoyan said with a smile, "Otherwise, this lazy guy might not get up until when."
"Snow leopards also need to extract their teeth?" Zou Linlin asked curiously after hearing this.
"I want it."
Lu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Since snow leopards have teeth, they will definitely get cavities like humans."
"At this time, you need to help them extract their teeth, otherwise they will have toothache that makes them unable to eat."
"So that's how it is. No wonder the big cat is so scared." After hearing this, Zou Linlin immediately understood why the big cat jumped so high.
It is indeed scary to have teeth extracted, let alone big cats.
Even she was scared.
"Okay, Linlin."
"I'll take you to meet other snow leopards. Being interrupted by Big Head, I almost forgot about the business." Lu Xiaoyan said to Zou Linlin watching Ling Chong running away.
Datou was so frightened by her that it would probably take some time for him to recover.
She just happened to take Linlin to see other snow leopards, so that the big cat would not show off in front of other snow leopard cages and make the other snow leopards curse.
"It's okay, I still have a few days here anyway. You can take your time." Zou Linlin said nonchalantly, but still followed Lu Xiaoyan and left.
Oh my god! How thrilling.
I almost got caught by the keeper lady checking my teeth, thanks to my fast running.
Ling Chong, who was standing next to the dormitory, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Xiaoyan didn't catch up.
Then he recognized Lu Xiaoyan's room by the smell and got in.
Being so frightened by the keeper lady, he suffered huge physical and mental injuries. He had to lie down and take a rest to heal his injured soul.
He happened to come to the dormitory again. God must have guided him to come here to recuperate.
Yes, that's it.
Lying on Lu Xiaoyan's bed, Ling Chong thought about it more and more, and the more he thought it made sense, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Outside the dormitory, Li Xianzhong looked at the words "girls dormitory" for a moment, then turned and left.
It doesn't matter if a snow leopard goes in, what if he goes in? That's hard to explain.
