Chatting, come to the community where citizens ask for help!
Seeing several residents of the community were chatting together, Fang Ye walked over.
Come up and reveal your identity: "Hello, I am from the zoo, I want to ask about the raccoon dog!"
An aunt suddenly became excited: "Hey, we were talking just now!"
Others heard that they were the staff of the zoo, and they also had the expression of seeing a savior, and they whispered and complained. It can be seen that they were troubled by raccoon dogs during this period.
"Just fed the stray cats! If you say no to feed them, then feed them!"
"Last time I saw a group of raccoons fighting in the place where they put the cat food, I think there are more than 20 or 30, it is called a fierce fight, one after another."
"Think about it, when I met a raccoon at night, a bunch of white-lighted eyes dangling in the dark, how scary."
"I was walking with my son the night before, and I encountered two raccoon dogs fighting under a big tree on the other side of Building 3. It was terrifying!"
"I bought a dog stick to defend myself, but I heard that this thing is to protect animals? You can't beat them. Can your zoo catch them all and let them go into the wild?"
Fang Ye asked, "Where is the cat food place, can you take us to have a look?"
"no problem!"
Under the leadership of the passionate aunt, I came to a cat food feeding point.
"Come on, put an infrared camera on this tree!"
Wang Yan instructed the students to set up the cameras and debug them. Fang Ye and his aunt chatted: "Where do raccoons live? Have you seen them before?"
The aunt shook her head: "I don't know where I live, I haven't seen it before."
However, even if you have seen it before, you might be regarded as a little black dog. The general public would not pay too much attention to wild animals.
In accordance with the residents' guidelines, infrared cameras should be arranged in the areas where raccoon dogs frequent.
On the edge of a hole at the root of the wall, Wang Yan noticed something, and greeted a lower field: "Look at this!"
Grabbing a wreck on the ground with a wooden stick, I can barely identify it as a kitten. Only the head and tail of the wreckage are left, and the middle of the body has been hollowed out.
"Is it eaten by raccoon dogs?"
"possible!"
Fang Ye asked curiously, "What is this cave entrance for?"
Wang Yan saw the raccoon dog hiding in this kind of cave last time, and specifically went to understand it.
To explain, it turns out that the sea side is close to the sea and the groundwater level is high. In order to avoid water seepage on the first floor, some buildings have built a 1 meter high overhead floor below the first floor, and pipes can be passed underneath. The overhead floor is on the first floor of the building. There is a vent on each side.
The overhead layer is a natural cave for the raccoon dog, where it can be sheltered from wind and rain and avoid danger.
The community with this kind of vent is undoubtedly more popular with raccoon dogs, and there are people who put cat food in designated places. No wonder there are so many raccoon dogs in this community.
Judging that there is a raccoon dog living here, a group of people quietly ambushed behind the bush, ready to observe.
Sure enough, after waiting for about 10 minutes, a raccoon poked his head out of the vent, looked vigilantly, and at the same time lifted his nose to keep sniffing and distinguishing the surrounding odors.
As if feeling something was wrong, he immediately retracted his body vigilantly.
A little raccoon's head came out from the hole. The little raccoon was bold enough to look out.
The big raccoon has not yet determined the safety of the environment, so he hastily pushed the little raccoon in.
After the big raccoon judged that there was no danger, seven or eight small raccoon dogs filed out.
The physiques of the little raccoon and the big raccoon are quite different, like round puppies, all black and autumn, with some faint white marks on their faces and necks.
Chasing each other near the entrance of the cave, like children coming out for physical education.
Some little raccoon dogs ran around, and some played games with their companions, and had a lot of fun.
When the little raccoons came out, another big raccoon came out. The two big raccoons should be their parents.
The little raccoon was playing and frolicking. The raccoon's parents stood quietly on the side, looking around, guarding the children.
There is an idiom called a raccoon dog. This word is very accurate. It refers to the way a raccoon dog comes out and moves in such a nest.
Wang Yan said: "There were reports before that the dog was suddenly attacked by the raccoon dog when it came out to walk the dog. This period is the breeding period of the raccoon dog. It is estimated that the raccoon dog came out with the cubs to move, and the raccoon dog felt threatened. ."
This guess is true. The raccoon dog will not attack the dog for no reason, and the dog is not their food.
Moreover, those who walk the dog at night may not necessarily be tied to a chain, so that the dog can move more freely. The dog will have the opportunity to approach the raccoon dog. If the raccoon dog can't avoid it, of course they will fight.
Dogs and dogs will quarrel as pets when they meet each other, barking constantly, asking the owner to pull the chain apart, let alone encounter a wild raccoon dog.
A little raccoon ran a little farther!
Someone was found hiding behind the bushes to observe it, and they were also curiously observing humans.
The cubs are now estimated to be about two months old. Generally speaking, they should be very sensitive. They will run away as soon as possible. However, they grow up in an environment without human beings. They behave recklessly and curiously, and even want to sniff. Sniff.
Mother raccoon dog came over and saw that people were obviously startled. She slapped the cub in her mouth and ran back. His father also greeted the other raccoon dogs nervously, and the family quickly got back into the cave.
Wang Yan said: "Let's go, and look elsewhere."
I ran into a raccoon dog on the grass on the road!
This raccoon dog was eating grass blades intently. Hearing footsteps and shaking the ground, he turned his head and looked over.
They didn't panic and fled immediately, because they found Fang Ye standing still three meters away.
After observing it carefully for a while, it may be that it was not dangerous, so he continued to feast on it.
The boldness and wisdom of raccoon dogs are also the reason why they can quickly adapt to the city!
If you are not busy eating, you might even come up and explore.
Fang Ye touched his chin: "This raccoon dog is quite daring! So many of us stare at it without panic Wang Yan said: "The raccoon dog is a nocturnal animal. It usually comes out at night. Now it's daytime. Coming out so generously, they are not wary of people, and their habits are slowly changing. "
Being out during the day also means more time to find food.
It was almost night after setting up the infrared camera, and everyone had a meal nearby.
The sky was getting darker, and at this time a group of dark shadows appeared in the community, and the eyes were shining.
When raccoon dogs clash for food, they yell at each other in low voices.
The cat food feeding point during the day, and many raccoon dogs have been surrounded by this time. With a flashlight, five or six raccoons retreated, and a few raccoons were eating cat food with relish, not afraid of them at all.
There are more raccoon dogs in the shadows, ready to get together.
Fang Ye saw the cat food, "tsk tsk" said, "Oh, whoever puts the cat food, it costs a few catties, right?"
