As we all know, wolves are ferocious in nature. In people's minds, it seems that an unchangeable concept has been formed. But one thing I experienced changed my view on the nature of wolves.
It was the month of 1964+00, and an automobile survey team in Yunnan province was conducting survey and prospecting in northwest Yunnan. The work car is modified from Jiasi -63 car, and the carriage is closed. The measuring instrument is fixedly installed in the carriage, and the receiver is placed on the top of the carriage. There are eight people in our team: a driver, three technicians and four armed guards. Each of them is equipped with a submachine gun and a pistol.
10 One morning in mid-October, we arrived in the small town of Judian. After a short rest, we continued to move due west. The snow on the road is getting thicker and thicker, and finally the car can't do anything-the wheels are spinning, but it can't move forward. We got off the cart together and planned to find some dry branches to make holes. Just then, almost at the same time, we found a group of brown things slowly approaching us on the road 200 meters behind our car. This is a group of hungry wolves. We couldn't help but get into the car in shock. At this time, the wolves are very close to the car, and there are eight * * *, all of which are like calves, with their bellies hanging high and their hind legs looking thinner. Warrior Xiao Wu grabbed the submachine gun and ran to the back door. Naxi villagers shouted, "What are you doing?" He grabbed Xiao Wu's gun and shouted, "Don't shoot, you can't shoot. The gun goes off, they either get under the car or turn into the Woods, and we're finished. Wolves will be desperate to bite the wheel first and make us like this, and then call more wolves to fight with us. " I said, "What can I do?" The fellow villager said, "Don't worry, there is a way. The snow closed the mountain, and it was difficult for wolves to find food. They are all hungry. Can there be food in the car? " Almost unanimously, we replied, "Yes." We have too many chefs throwing bacon, ham and very precious venison back to Kunming one by one. All eight wolves were red-eyed and roared at the food. The first things thrown were eaten up in the blink of an eye. But they didn't go. Eight wolves sat in a row, staring at the back door. The villagers continued to give orders: stay more! We put more than 100 kg of meat in the car, so it is very important to save your life. Throw it away! I said this with tears in my eyes, and the second batch of about 50 kilograms of meat flew out from the back door. Eight wolves growled at the food again, but the speed of eating slowed down obviously. Seeing that every wolf's belly is getting bigger and bigger, it is not so tall. At this time, I clearly saw that the bellies of the eight wolves were round, and their eyes began to become docile, so they stopped sitting sideways. One of the wolves turned around the car twice and ran towards the front of the car. The other seven wolves did not move. After a while, the wolf ran back and took seven wolves to the pine forest. Our hanging hearts are finally put down. We started pushing the cart again, but it still didn't help. It seems that we may be trapped here today. If we meet a group of wolves again, it will be completely finished.
Just then, we saw eight wolves running out of the pine forest and running to the road. It's strange that every wolf has a big branch in his mouth. I don't know what they want to do. We had to climb into the car again and watch carefully. Driver Xiao Wang simply poked his head out of the cab, and I opened a window to see what the wolves were doing. I saw eight big wolves put branches in their mouths under the two rear wheels of the car. Ha ha! The wolf made a hole in the car, and I cried with joy. When the wolf saw me yelling, he just looked at me, and I also found that there was no hostility in the wolf's eyes. Then eight wolves got under the car together. I didn't understand what it meant, but I saw snow flying on both sides of the car, some drifting down the mountain and some drifting to the side of the road.
Time is not long, eight wolves got out from under the car again, ran to the front of the car, with their heads forward, their tails lined up in front of the car, their mouths arched into the snow together, forked forward, and then their four heads stood side by side, scraping the snow back together with their powerful hind legs, and the road surface gradually emerged. ...
After the bus reached the top of the mountain, the wolf stopped grabbing branches and sat in line behind our car. The difference is that a wolf moved forward a little. The fellow villagers told us it was a wolf, which probably gave us all the ideas. We were so excited that we applauded the wolf together. But the eight lovely wolves didn't seem to respond. They just stared at us, and then the first wolf came first, and then the rest slowly walked up the hill and disappeared into the pine forest.
Human nature, trembling in the tearful love of snow leopard.
There is a sparsely populated Gandafeng Forest Farm in Robson Mountain area, which is a big forest in southern Canada. Seven years ago, a forest fire devoured nearly 80% of the trees in Gandafeng Forest Farm, and the old forest farm died because of excessive fire and depression. His only son, 30-year-old Oort, became the new owner of the forest farm.
Oort once worked in a commercial bank in Vancouver. He returned to Gandafeng Forest Farm with his new wife Xinya, a nurse in a hospital in Vancouver. After Oort returned to the forest farm, he hired people to plant saplings everywhere on the mountain.
Winter went and spring came, and seven years passed quickly. The saplings planted in those years have tall and straight trunks and lush leaves. At the same time, the Oorts have become accustomed to the quiet life in the isolated forest farm. Only at the beginning of each month, Mr. and Mrs. Ault will drive the van left by their father to Camera Town, 200 miles away, to buy some food and daily necessities. One day in early February of 65438+, Mr. and Mrs. Ault were driving to Ksenya Goryachova Camilla, and at the corner of a mountain road, they were suddenly hit by an oncoming off-road vehicle. Cynthia, who was sitting on the side of the cab, was knocked off her lower limbs on the spot and was unconscious. Fortunately, Oort was only slightly injured. He quickly sent Cynthia to carmela Central Hospital. After the doctor's rescue, Cynthia saved her life, but her lower body was paralyzed forever.
This sudden car accident cast a shadow over the happy married life of the Oort couple. Oort took care of his bedridden wife all day without complaint. He secretly worried about one thing: his beloved wife lost her fertility because of a car accident!
In fact, Xinya has long thought about the great mental pressure brought to her husband after paralysis. Although she still loves Oort deeply, she is deeply disturbed at the thought of her husband's departure. She believes that only divorce can completely liberate her husband. After careful consideration, one night, Xinya said to Oort, "Dear, let's get a divorce. You should start a new life and marry a healthy wife, so I will feel better ... "Oort didn't expect his wife to file for divorce. His heart is full of contradictions: as a middle-aged man, he really needs a happy marriage and is eager to have a child. However, who will take care of Xinya after the divorce? In the face of his wife's divorce request, Oort was hard to accept at the moment.
Knowing that her husband was worried about herself, Xinya came up with an idea. She told Oort that she could live in a nursing home. There is a sanatorium in Edersen, 350 miles from Gandafeng Forest Farm. "The conditions there are very good, there will be well-trained nurses to take care of me, and I will be very happy ..." Cynthia pretended to be relaxed. Oort was dubious about his wife's words. He decided to go to Edersen first to inspect the medical facilities and service quality of the sanatorium.
The next day, Oort drove to the famous sanatorium in Edersen. He is very satisfied with the first-class service and advanced facilities in the sanatorium. He decided to send his wife to a nursing home after returning to the forest farm. Only when his wife can get good and thoughtful service here can he divorce her with a clear conscience.
After leaving the nursing home, Oort went to the meat market and bought 30 pounds of fresh beef, which was his wife's favorite. Before sending Xinya to a nursing home, he has to take care of his wife.
Oort put beef and other daily necessities in the carriage. In order to prevent poachers from picking up the car while driving, he also left the hound sack in the carriage. Oort didn't even eat lunch in Edersen City, so he set off in a hurry.
Ault drove all the way. At about 3 pm, the minivan entered a narrow area in Robson Valley. There are bushes on both sides of the mountain road, and the atmosphere is strange.
Suddenly, Oort heard Sikes barking in the carriage. He was startled, and quickly observed the situation behind the car from the mirror: Oh, my God! A huge snow leopard is struggling to run towards the car. Oort doesn't know why the leopard is interested in his car, but he doesn't want to hurt the leopard. Oort honked his horn while accelerating, hoping that the sharp horn would scare the guy away. Unexpectedly, the leopard completely ignored the car horn and still pursued it. Oort can clearly see from the mirror that the muscles at the scapula contract rhythmically when the leopard runs, and Seck keeps making angry "Wang Wang" sounds. Just as Oort was about to fire a gun to scare off the leopard, Sikes suddenly jumped out of the car and barked at the leopard.
Oort quickly braked, grabbed the shotgun and ran to the back of the car. Zach is obviously no match for the Jaguar. After only one round, Zach was thrown to the ground by the leopard. Fortunately, it quickly got under the leopard's stomach and bit the leopard's calf tightly. The leopard growled and circled in the same place, and at that time he couldn't eat any more. Although Oort has a shotgun, he still doesn't want to hurt the leopard. After shouting ineffectiveness at the leopard, Oort shot the leopard in the head. The deafening gunfire made the leopard suddenly stop fighting with Psyche. It jumped up and turned into the jungle by the road. Psyche gasped and barked at the jungle.
Why do leopards chase cars? When Oort's eyes rested on the fresh beef in the carriage, he suddenly realized. It turned out that the blood of beef dripped from the bottom of the carriage to the mountain road, and the leopard followed the blood spilled by the car all the way. Winter is coming, which is a difficult time for leopards to feed.
Sage sobbed, and Oort found a 20 cm long wound on Sage's neck, bleeding profusely. Since there was no hemostatic bandage in the car, he quickly took Seck to the cab and quickly started the car.
However, soon after the car left, Oort felt his body suddenly sink, as if something heavy had been thrown into the carriage. Seck seems to smell something, too. It growls behind the cab. Oort grabbed his shotgun, braked suddenly, jumped out of the car and rushed to the rear of the car! The scene in the carriage surprised Oort: another leopard! It has beef in its mouth, its eyes are wide open and its throat is purring, as if to warn Oort not to stop it from taking the beef. Oort can't help but be angry from the heart. He waved a shotgun at the leopard and shouted, "put the meat down!" " "Taking his word, the leopard jumped out of the carriage with the beef in his mouth. Oort was caught off guard and fell to the ground in an instant. The shotgun also landed a few meters away. Fortunately, the leopard didn't continue to hurt Oort. Otherwise, Oort who fell on his back would be torn to pieces by the leopard's claws.
The leopard continued to hold the piece of beef and sniffed at Oort's face with his head down. The cold beef almost stuck to Oort's face. He was too nervous to go out and prayed that the leopard would leave soon. Suddenly, the leopard let out a scream and the beef fell on Oort. It turned out that Sikes jumped from behind to the back of the leopard while the leopard was unprepared, and ruthlessly bit the leopard's neck. The leopard that was ambushed was furious. It wriggled, threw psyche to the ground at once, and then roared and jumped up. Psyche was immediately pressed to the ground by the leopard's two front paws, and the leopard's maw was about to kill his dog. Oort grabbed the leopard's tail desperately and pulled it back with all his strength. He was so explosive that he just pulled the big leopard back several steps. "sacks, run!" Oort shouted, tugging at the leopard's tail. , who is loyal to his master, doesn't want to escape. He bravely rushed to the leopard again and bit the leopard's ear. The leopard shook his head fiercely and half his ear was torn off by Sikes. Unfortunately, Sikes was bitten by an angry leopard before he could escape. Poor Sikes was bitten by a leopard in his mouth and struggled on all fours. "Seck!" Oort's eyes are about to crack. He dropped the leopard's tail, rushed up and punched the leopard's head with his fist, trying to make the leopard loosen his teeth. But that damn leopard would rather be beaten than let psyche go, and psyche's limbs will soon stop moving. Oort was outraged to see his dog die in a leopard's mouth. With a cry of "Ah", he poked the leopard's eyes with five fingers, and the dirty blood suddenly flowed out of the leopard's eyes. It knocked down Oort and ran away with Seck in its mouth.
Oort watched the leopard escape, worried. Suddenly, his hand touched the shotgun on the ground, and Oort, who lost his dog, no longer cared about the life and death of the leopard. He raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger on the leopard who wanted to enter the forest. With a bang, the leopard staggered and disappeared into the Woods.
Ault estimated that the shot should hit the leopard, and he got up and drove forward. In the forest where the leopard disappeared, Oort really saw a pool of blood on the ground. Oort found that the leopard still didn't throw psyche down after being shot.
Oort's conclusion is that a leopard can't run too far after being shot. He walked a few hundred meters along the blood spattered by the leopard and found another pool of blood. It can be seen from a weed that has just been overwhelmed that the leopard was badly injured and the bullet probably hit its abdomen. After struggling for hundreds of meters, it used to lie here for a while. Oort judged that the leopard must be dying because it lost too much blood. Suddenly, a huge problem appeared in Oort's mind: when the beast's life was threatened, he should just run for his life. Why does this dying leopard keep holding on to Seck? Is prey more important than its life?
After tracing for about 50 meters, Oort came to a hillside with rugged rocks and bushes. Finally, he found the leopard lying next to a protruding rock in the distance. Oort approached slowly, and what he saw shocked him: the leopard was dead, but it died unsatisfied. It can be seen that at the last moment of its life, it finally released its prey. Strangely, the leopard's body has a posture of pushing its prey forward before it dies. Oort's eyes looked at the direction in which the leopard crawled, and his blood suddenly froze: just less than 5 meters away from the leopard, a bony female leopard was lying on her side in a cave! One of its forelimbs is missing, its broken limb has rotted, and some animal bones and miscellaneous hairs are scattered around the mother leopard.
Oort knows everything. He can imagine that the female leopard in the cave has been living under the care of another leopard since she lost her hunting ability. The newly dead leopard is desperate to find this female leopard. How simple and great is this life-and-death relationship between animals!
At that moment, Oort's heart was shaking, and he suddenly remembered his paralyzed wife. He is deeply ashamed of his ideas. A leopard can drain its last drop of blood to prolong the life of its companion. How can he shirk his responsibility when his wife needs care most?
Oort was awakened from his meditation by the whine of the female leopard. He picked up the cold psyche and walked out of the Woods. After a while, Oort returned to the front of the cave. He put the beef beside the dying mother leopard and left with a heavy heart.
The afterglow of the setting sun burned on the horizon. Ault of anxious to return is driving his car quickly towards Gandafeng Forest Farm. He wants to see Xinya as soon as possible and tell his wife the story of the leopard. Ault has made up his mind that no matter how difficult and stressful his future life is, he will live alone with his wife for the rest of his life.
As soon as Oort returned to the forest farm, he couldn't wait to tell his wife the touching story of the leopard crying blood. Xinya was deeply shocked. She finally gave up her intention to divorce Oort. The next day, Oort drove to Robson Valley again. In front of the cave where the female leopard lived, Oort saw that the poor female leopard had become stiff until she died. ...
