Chapter 99 The Persimmon Tree

Due to the presence of Professor Pan, a big cow in the field of wildlife protection, the reason why several raccoons blew alternately in this section was also explained.

This alternate call may be the sound of raccoon parents driving their soon-to-be-adult cubs away from their territory.

Raccoon dogs generally begin to mate and reproduce in spring, and it takes only half a year for newborn raccoon dogs to grow into the same size as their parents.

At this time, the newborn raccoon cubs will be expelled from the house and begin to live independently.

That is to say, in the second video, it was the parents of the raccoon dog who came to the family excretion area. Five minutes later, the little raccoon dog came to go to the toilet.The raccoon parents who saw their children in the distance reprimanded them with that cry: "Please leave this territory!"

That's why the raccoon dog in the second video hurried away after hearing the bark.

After that, the independent raccoons will start to travel around and find their own new territory in this winter.

"I don't know if Xiaoraccoon can find other places to live in Lanhai City other than here." Li Chengxin sighed secretly.

"Oh, I can only wish this little raccoon dog good luck." Qi Lanting also felt a little worried.

Thinking about it this way, apart from Qi Lanting, the other two young anchors and several young staff members who were present had the same disease as this little raccoon dog. They all left their parents and went to the city to work alone.

When several people were still sad about the little raccoon's leaving home, Professor Pan had already shown his professionalism, shoveled fresh rice fields with a garden shovel, and put them on the specimen pots for observation.

"This is really amazing!" Professor Pan's cry suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?" Qi Lanting trotted over first, "It sounds like Professor Pan suddenly became excited... ah!"

With a scream, Qi Lanting backed away again.

The live broadcast camera passed Qi Lanting and landed in the specimen basin in Professor Pan's hands. In the basin, among the broken raccoon feces, a few small black bugs were picked and moved by Professor Pan.

Seeing the camera coming, Professor Pan started the teaching mode: "This is a dung beetle, commonly known as dung beetle, dung beetle, phototaxis, mainly feeds on animal excrement, and is called the scavenger of nature."

"So...Professor Pan, are you so excited to see these dung beetles?" Li Chengxin was a little confused.

"Indeed," Professor Pan continued to explain, "after dung beetles smell the smell of dung, they will fly over and start eating dung, and raccoon dogs will also feed on dung beetles..."

"Hey!" The three of Li Chengxin exclaimed in unison, and they always felt that it was "tasteful" to put this content in their minds.

"Raccoon dogs can eat all kinds of insects, earthworms, and fruits. However, raccoon dogs cannot climb trees and are not good at hunting. I just wonder if raccoon dogs also gather dung beetles in the same place as their family's excretion area. For the purpose of easy consumption. This topic is worth studying!" Professor Pan finally finished explaining the reason for his excitement.

[Stunned, I always feel that I smell some strange smell]

【This is really... this is really...】

【No Fxxk to say】

After pushing aside a few dung beetles, Professor Pan continued to study the dung in the basin and isolated an oblate woody fruit.

Qi Lanting had already run away when the dung beetle appeared, so Brother Xiaoyong was able to get closer and look: "This doesn't look like an acorn, but more like... a persimmon core?"

Professor Pan nodded: "Yes, persimmons are indeed one of the raccoon dog's favorite foods. There should be a source of persimmons nearby."

The Taoist priest who accompanied him suddenly realized: "As for the persimmon tree, there is really one behind our yard!"

Having said that, several people immediately became interested, and began to bring various equipment, and followed the Taoist priest to the persimmon tree.

When they visited the Town God's Temple before, several people had never been here. This persimmon tree is next to the wall on the edge of the Town God's Temple, and you can see the golden persimmons that are fruitful in autumn from a long distance away.

"In this season, raccoon dogs don't have much food, so they usually eat fruits to supplement their nutrition. In order to survive the winter smoothly, this persimmon tree will probably become an important source of food for various animals." Professor Pan is very happy, "If we set up a camera here, It is estimated that a lot of animal images can also be taken."

As I said before, raccoon dogs are not good at climbing trees, so Li Chengxin asked, "How did raccoon dogs eat the persimmons on the trees?"

Just as he was talking, he saw a bird fly to the persimmon tree and start pecking at the persimmons.

"Oh, it's still just an eye." Professor Pan, who is skilled in business, recognized the species of this bird at a glance.

White-eye bird is the general name of the white-eye bird family of passerines. It is named for the short white feathers in the eye circle. It is a common bird in the southern coast.

The persimmon that the white-eye bird is pecking at is apparently not the only one eating it. One-third of the big persimmon has disappeared, and it should have been eaten by other animals. The white-eye bird was probably also eaten by other animals. The smell of broken persimmons attracted me.As it pecked, it stuck almost its entire head in.

Seeing someone approaching, the white-eyed bird reluctantly took a few big bites quickly, and then flew away with a flutter.

The persimmon stalk, which had been half eaten, finally couldn't continue to fix the soft persimmon, and fell to the ground under the reaction force of the white-eye flying away.

"Look," Professor Pan pointed, "this is the food source for raccoon dogs."

Several people came closer and saw that there were several persimmon stalks scattered under the persimmon tree. Obviously, the persimmons that fell before had been eaten up.

At this time, the thoughtful Li Chengxin made a new discovery. He pointed to the bifurcation of the persimmon tree trunk and asked: "Professor Pan, is this the paw print of a raccoon dog?"

They had identified the footprints of raccoon dogs on the sand before, but now they saw the scratches on the tree trunk, but it was different.

Several people looked carefully, and at a height of about one meter, on the trunk of the persimmon tree, several pieces of fine bark had been peeled off.

But this is one meter high.

Professor Pan walked around the persimmon tree, found a few more traces of peeling bark, and judged the trajectory.

"This may not be a raccoon dog." Professor Pan judged, "According to the gap and height of the traces, it should be a slightly smaller animal that can climb trees."

There were clues about the appearance of new animals, and everyone became more excited, and started to set up automatic cameras around the persimmon tree.

One was set up under the persimmon tree, directly opposite the area where the bark was peeling.

The other one is set up on the wall next to the persimmon tree.

After setting up these cameras, several people saw that the estimated time was about the same, then ended the live broadcast and went home.

In a few days, the staff will come to collect these automatic cameras and their memory cards, and leave them for inspection when Professor Pan and Li Chengxin are free.
