Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 483 - 440: Spring, the Season When Peach Blossoms Bloom

Chapter 483: Chapter 440: Spring, the Season When Peach Blossoms Bloom

Feline animals are somewhat proud, but this Golden Cat takes it to the extreme.

It really wants to approach Chen Ying but is also afraid, its expression clearly saying, "Why don’t you come over first?"

Chen Ying thought for a moment and slowly approached them.

The Golden Cat Mother lying in the hollow tree feeding her kittens slightly raised her head to glance at him. Seeing Little Jin unmoved, she lay back down and even stretched her body.

The Golden Cat Mother sitting outside the hollow tree raised her head, staring unblinkingly as he approached, her beautiful large eyes naturally lined.

Chen Ying did not rashly extend his hand to pet her.

He first squatted down to look at the kittens in the hollow tree; they looked good, with small, round bellies.

After observing for a while, Chen Ying took two cat strips and two cans from his waist pouch.

This stuff shouldn’t be eaten too much or too often; after all, the best food source for wildlife is pure and natural.

But Chen Ying wanted to build a good relationship with them, and food is the best way to bridge the gap.

If he were at the River Source Emergency Station, he could make some cat meals for them; now he had to rely on artificial technology.

The squatting Golden Cat looked curiously at Chen Ying opening the cans and tearing the bags. Then, a fragrant smell wafted over, and it couldn’t resist coming over to sniff.

"Eat, I selected this, you can have it too."

The Golden Cat bent down to lick the can and then visibly sped up, devouring the food.

Seeing it so happily eating, the nursing Golden Cat Mother couldn’t resist coming over to take a bite but was completely blocked by a big head from accessing the spot.

She couldn’t help hissing, almost ready to paw, but Chen Ying quickly opened another can to soothe her.

At the entrance, the two cats ate seriously, leaving the kittens inside the hollow tree meowing in frustration.

Chen Ying showed good intentions to the two mothers and directly reached in to pick up a kitten.

He had put on gloves in advance, trying not to leave his scent. Of course, even if he did, it’s okay; after all, with Great Virtue, the treatment is different from ordinary people.

The one he picked up was the brother, whose eyes hadn’t opened yet, and its loud cry was piercing. Among the litter, it was the dominant one.

He examined each kitten in turn; very good, each was quite strong.

Among the seven kittens, only two were little sisters; the future Golden Cat family in this forest would grow larger.

In the past, overgrazing and deforestation rapidly reduced animals’ habitats.

But in the past decade, vegetation has recovered significantly, the forest area has increased by 10% compared to ten years ago, and most importantly, human activity is shrinking, leaving more space for animals.

Taking the opportunity of buying the two mothers with snacks, Chen Ying quickly recorded the Golden Cat’s body data and individual photos, which would be entered into the local system for comparison with photos taken by infrared cameras to determine the size of their territory and clarify their activity tracks.

Just as he finished, the walkie-talkie sounded, and the two cats hurriedly returned to the hollow to protect the kittens.

Chen Ying quickly retreated and only took out the walkie-talkie to contact his three partners after leaving the hollow tree.

He didn’t let them get too close; Chen Ying walked back a bit and asked for two cameras, intending to find a suitable spot outside the hollow tree to install them.

The fact that two seemingly related mother cats both got pregnant and gave birth, chose the same hollow tree, and co-parented their children is very rare in nature.

Previously, there was a record abroad of two cheetah mothers jointly raising nine cubs, all of which survived.

But the situation is different from Golden Cats; the two adult cheetah females were mother and daughter, so besides the older cheetah raising her own children, she also helped her daughter raise hers. And the fathers of the nine cheetah cubs were the same cheetah.

Things that are shocking in the human world can happen in nature.

Previously, a similar situation occurred in Jiamu Gully, though not with as many cubs.

This special situation is a rare opportunity for researchers; they are inconvenient to install equipment while the mother cats are with the cubs, but Chen Ying has no such issue.

After listening to Chen Ying’s explanation, his three partners were eager to take a look, but reason ultimately prevailed.

What Chen Ying can do, they might not be able to, and with more people around, the mother cats might feel the place is dangerous and possibly move the kittens away.

Suppressing their excitement, the three partners first tested the cameras, then watched as Chen Ying walked towards the hollow tree.

Chen Ying knew they couldn’t wait a few months to retrieve the cameras and see the kittens, so this time he turned on his phone’s video, hung it on his chest, so they could see the situation of the kittens and mother cats.

After arriving, Chen Ying hung the phone on a nearby tree to aim the camera at the cat nest.

Then he started choosing a suitable spot to install the cameras.

Little Jin had helped him with this task several times and was quite a skilled trial photographer.

Using Little Jin to determine the camera’s position and sensitivity, Chen Ying fixed the camera and made simple camouflage.

The more curious mother cat that had finished the can and cat strip walked over, raising her large Casio-liner eyes to observe the camera.

"Click click click," clear big headshots were saved on the camera’s memory card without any beauty effect.

Seeing her walk over, Little Jin jumped onto a nearby branch, looking down at her from above.

The mother cat wasn’t interested in Little Jin and, after observing the camera for a while, grasped the tree trunk to prop up her body, trying to reach the lens, but that position was out of reach even on tiptoe. After a couple of attempts, she quickly lost interest.
