Chapter 1552 Migration of Wolves

Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.

Zhang Zian heard howling wolves last night, but how to put it, he has never seen wolves in the wild, let alone heard wolves howling in the wild, so he can only judge from the sound that it is obviously different from the howling of coyotes. He thinks it may be Wolf.

He's not sure because California's gray wolf has been extinct since 1924.

As for the wolves I saw in the zoo, they had already been fed to lose their wildness, and they would not howl once in a while.

Now, he saw this robust North American gray wolf with his own eyes, and what was even more strange was that there was a collar on its neck. What's going on?

Does anyone keep gray wolves as pets?

This is not the Middle East. Whether it is the rich American or the big dogs in the Middle East, they prefer to raise big cats to show off their wealth. If you raise a gray wolf, people will probably think it is an impure husky...

As the gray wolf confronted several coyotes, it moved, and Zhang Zian saw more details of the collar through the telescope.

This is a collar with a signal transmitter.

Similar to the collar he once put on the fennec fox in the Egyptian desert.

He understood that this gray wolf was either freed by scientists, or was captured by scientists, put on a collar after being anesthetized, and then released back to nature, just like what they did in the Egyptian desert, this one with a signal transmitter The collar is used to track and record the gray wolf's migration route and physical characteristics.

After the native gray wolf in California became extinct in 1924, the appearance of gray wolves was witnessed again in Shaskiyou County in 2015 and Lassen National Park in 2017. They were named Shasta wolves and Larsen wolves by scientists. group, of which the former gray wolf family of seven disappeared in 2016.

Could it be that the disappearing Shasta wolves actually ran quietly into the redwood forest?

This is very possible. Gray wolves have good stamina. In order to find food, they can run more than 30 kilometers a day. As long as they avoid humans, it is very easy for them to migrate across regions. It has been speculated that members of the Shasta and Larsen packs may have come to California from as far north as Oregon.

As for the collar on its neck, it stands to reason that it will fall off automatically after wearing it for a period of time, which is convenient for scientists to recycle. However, sometimes it gets stuck and fails to fall off as expected. As a result, it runs out of power and cannot be recycled. Normally, the machine will break down, and the gray wolf will not care and maintain the collar carefully when it lives and hunts.

Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. For example, this wolf is also a lone wolf from Oregon, because when it grows up, it cannot always stay with its parents.

So did the wolf howl last night come from this wolf? Or was this wolf also attracted by the howling of wolves?

The coyote whose neck was bitten by it could not even make a sound because its trachea was blocked, and the strength of its struggle became weaker and weaker.

The other coyotes divided the work, with two attracting the attention of the gray wolf from the front, and the other three ran to the side and the back of the gray wolf, trying to adopt the tactics of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and rescued their companions by attacking the gray wolf.

There is an old Chinese saying that a wolf has a tofu waist with a copper head and iron legs, which means that the wolf’s waist is very fragile. In fact, this is true for most land vertebrates. The ribs cannot cover the waist, otherwise they cannot turn around flexibly. Humans The waist is also very fragile.

The gray wolf is not stupid, and it is impossible to hand over its weakness to the enemy, but it does not want to give up the prey it has in its mouth, so it simply drags the coyote in its mouth and runs away.

The coyotes followed suit.

The gray wolf ran for a while, put down the coyote in its mouth, bared its fangs and growled to scare the coyotes away, and when the coyotes retreated, they picked up the dying coyote and continued running, just fighting and retreating.

Both parties were not interested in Zhang Zian, so you came and went, and soon disappeared into the woods.

He waited in place for a while, and the coyotes and gray wolves seemed to have no intention of coming back in a short time, but after a long time, the coyotes might come back and continue to eat the deer carcasses.

"I'll take a look, you wait here." He told the elves to stay where they were, because it was dangerous to be near a sick and dead deer.

He took a few quick and deep breaths, then took a sharp breath and held it, and walked quickly to the side of the deer carcass—he held his breath not only to avoid smelling the rancid smell that made people want to vomit, but also to avoid inhaling possible aerosols.

"Gah? What are you going to see? This deer has no horns. It's probably a female. You're not interested!"

Richard, who was the only one who was not at risk of infection, cherished his own life very much. He flapped his wings away from his shoulders, and landed on a branch to comb his feathers.

The hind abdomen of the deer was ripped open from the chrysanthemum by the coyotes, and all the internal organs such as intestines were dragged out.

The smell of entrails is probably spreading, possibly attracting other scavengers, so he needs to be quick.

He went around to the other side of the deer and saw its ears.

When looking through the binoculars just now, he noticed something on the ear of the deer carcass, but it was too far away to see clearly. Now he saw it clearly. It was a yellow ear tag, which is usually used for deer in breeding farms. The kind of ear tag that is marked.

He picked up his phone and took a few photos, including the entire body of the deer and the earmarks. Then he trotted back to the edge of the clearing, and then exhaled the stale air in his lungs, took a few quick and deep breaths, and panted evenly.

"What did you idiot go to see?" Richard flew back on his shoulder again, this bitch's beak really never idles like a Tang monk, and the other elves knew he was going to say it, and they were all waiting listen.

"This deer may be a deer waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse." He said, but both he and the elves knew that if a deer brought into the slaughterhouse wanted to run out of the three-meter-high power grid, it would be tantamount to heaven and earth. Night Tale.

Therefore, this deer should not have escaped from the slaughterhouse, otherwise it would be possible to write a book about the redemption of the Shawshin Deer, and 80% of it was released by Lipett and the others after the slaughterhouse was struck by lightning and caught fire and became unable to operate.

Lipett and the others couldn't bring the slaughterhouse back to normal in a short period of time, and they estimated that the work would be suspended for three to five months. What about the batch of live deer that just arrived that day? It's not realistic to keep them. They didn't prepare feed, and they weren't so responsible. They might just open the gate and let the deer go, leaving them to fend for themselves.

According to known information, if one deer is infected with prion protein in a farm, it is likely that all deer will be infected. But for deer in the wild, if one is infected, the chance of other deer in the same forest being infected is only one-third.

In any case, the beasts in this forest who feed on deer may be in trouble. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
