Live Wilderness Adventure

"Mensah, did you see Cecil when you were patrolling today?"

On the road that was about to reach the protection center, two patrol cars happened to meet. Barry, who was worried, slowed down the car and shouted to his colleagues on the other side.

"Cecil, I think about it, but I don't seem to see it."

In the other car, Mensa, who was shouted by Barry, slowed down, frowned and thought for a while, and saw Barry's uneasy expression while replying, and smiled, "Ha, don't worry, this kind of thing often happens. It happened, maybe it just found a place that is not easy to be found, and secretly had a tryst with its new lover, Cecil's energy has always been very good."

Hearing Mensa's negative answer, Barry's worried expression did not relax at all, but became more serious: "But I haven't seen it for at least six days, counting a few days, it's been a full week. "

Hearing this, Mensa's face became serious, and he realized the possible problems.

For wandering male lions, they do not have a fixed territory or lion group, they will roam in different areas, pass through different territories and interact with different lion groups, and may die in an unknown battle or hunt corner of.

It is quite difficult for the patrolmen of the protection center to ensure that they are found and checked for their survival during the patrol process.

But Cecil is not a wandering male lion, he is a young and middle-aged lion king with his own territory and lion pride. There are more than twelve adult lions in the lion pride, which is an extremely large family.

The territorial area of ​​each lion group is quite clear, and it can be as small as 20 square kilometers in places with abundant prey; in areas where prey is sparse, such as desert lions, a territory as large as 400 square kilometers can also be established.

The African savannah is obviously not a barren place like the desert, and the food is very rich. It only needs less than ten square kilometers to be enough for a large lion group to live and compete for accumulation.

The Cecil family has always stayed in their own territory. They have experienced several generations of lions and have not changed for decades.

Under such circumstances, Cecil, who is a lion king, actually disappeared for a whole week in his own territory, under the nose of the protection center?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Mensa pretended to be relaxed and comforted the old Barry, and made a suggestion, "Instead of worrying here, why don't you ask Dr. Loveridge, he has Cecil on his side, Maybe it is really like what I said, in which corner is it alive?"

"Yes, let's go and ask, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."

Hearing his colleague's suggestion, Barry nodded. Not seeing him for two or three days could be called a coincidence, but a week was too suspicious.

The two then parked their car at the conservation center and went together to find Dr. Loveridge.

Dr. Loveridge is a scholar in the conservation center who specializes in lion ecology. He has the location information of most of the lion kings with their own territories. If you want to know the current situation of Cecil, the fastest way is to ask Dr. .

It's a pity that the two arrived in the research room, but learned that Loveridge was not here at this time, but went to Yangguo to participate in a seminar.

Fortunately, the doctor's field assistant, Brent Stebokhan, was here, and Barry immediately told him what he had discovered.

Brent's expression froze when he heard it.

Old Barry quickly asked: "What's the matter, what happened?"

At this time, Brent seemed hesitant in the face of old Barry's urging questions, but he still told the truth: "Cecile's collar has not been updated for several days."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier!?"

Barry and Mensa were both shocked, and the old Barry grabbed Brent by the collar and asked loudly.

I don't know whether it's shame or suffocation after being grabbed by the collar, Brent's face is flushed, and sweat can be seen on his forehead: "I thought it was just a problem with the collar, no electricity or..."

Brent was interrupted by old Barry before he finished speaking: "The shit is out of battery, Cecil's collar was only changed last month, how could something go wrong?"

"Who knows about bumps and bumps in the wild"

The more Brent explained, the more parched his mouth became. His heart was pounding, but he couldn't get enough oxygen. Beads of sweat slid from the corner of his forehead and dripped onto the wrinkled old Barina. But at the moment of the strong and powerful tiger's mouth.

In the end, Brent lowered his head silently, leaving only a few heavy breaths in the institute, knocking on his heart again and again.

Ruined.

Brent could only pray to God at this moment. Cecil's positioning collar was really just out of order, maybe it was broken during hunting?

Although the lion almost no longer participates in hunting after becoming the lion king, but that is almost, maybe it is a very small probability other than almost?

Or did other lions challenge Cecil?

One idea after another kept popping up in Brent's mind, but when his eyes met the furious old Barry again, all luck was extinguished.

Zakshiz Barry, one of the oldest staff at the conservation center.

The young people here like to call him Old Barry. Even the most professional scholars are willing to listen to Barry's opinion first when judging certain issues.

The long work experience has allowed old Barry to know every elephant group and every lion group on the grassland, and he will never admit mistakes.

He can easily identify the lion king of every lion group on the grassland, the elephant owner of every elephant group, the same animals in the eyes of ordinary people are like two completely different people in the eyes of old Barry.

Moreover, the long experience of patrolling and feeding also gave Barry a wonderful feeling for animals. He can always easily find the king who rules it in a territory. It seems miraculous that he has special functions. Many zoologists like to look for him. Come and be your guide.

Old Barry said he didn't see it, didn't find it, and something unusual must have happened in the middle.

Brent knew he was in trouble, and if something happened to Cecil, he didn't know what his teacher would do to him.

It wasn't until the furious old Barry pushed Brent down on the monitoring platform that Brent rushed to get the information.

But the general positioning is different. The collar positioning will store a lot of information. In addition to the basic position information, there are height, weight, heart rate, including the trajectory of each period of time, which is of great help to the study of animal behavior. It can be clearly Explore what they do every day.

When the last piece of information sent by the collar was read out, a certain area on the map was marked with a red line, and the red line finally broke at a certain point.

"This is where?"

Mensa asked quickly, he didn't remember such a place in the reserve.

"It's a rocky slope. I heard it's an old abandoned mining area."

Old Barry looked at the location on the map, and recognized Cecil's last missing place at a glance.

Mensa felt a little puzzled: "I don't seem to have been here to patrol before?"

"Because it no longer belongs to the protected area, nor is it Cecil's territory. Not only has Cecil left his own territory, he has also left the protected area! It's been a whole week!"
