Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552-migration of wolves

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

Zhang Zian had heard a Wolf’s howl last night, but he had never seen a wolf in the wild, let alone heard a Wolf’s howl in the wild. He could only judge from the sound that it was obviously different from the howl of a coyote. He thought it might be a Wolf.

He was not sure because the gray wolves in California had gone extinct since 1924.

As for the wolves he saw in the zoo, they had long lost their wildness after being fed by humans and would not howl even once.

Now, he had seen this strong North American gray wolf with his own eyes. What was even stranger was that there was a collar on its neck. What was going on?

Someone kept a gray wolf as a pet?

This was not the Middle East. Whether it was the rich in the United States or the Middle East, they all preferred to keep big cats to show off their wealth. If you had a gray wolf, people would probably think that it was an impure Husky …

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

It was a collar with a signal transmitter.

He had once put a similar collar on an fennec fox in the desert of Egypt.

He understood now. The gray wolf was either reared by the scientists, or it had been captured by them before. After anesthesia, the scientists put on the collar and let it go. Just like what they did in the Egypt desert, the collar with the signal transmitter was used to track the gray wolf’s migration route and physiological characteristics.

The gray wolves in California had gone extinct in 1924. The next time gray wolves were seen was in shasaiyou County in 2015 and Larson National Park in 2017. Scientists named them the Shasta Wolves and Larson wolves. The former gray wolf family of seven disappeared in 2016.

Could it be that the Shasta Wolves that had disappeared had secretly run into the mahogany forest?

This was very likely. Gray wolves had very good endurance. In order to find food, they could run more than 30 kilometers a day. As long as they avoided humans, it was very easy for them to migrate across regions. It was speculated that the members of the Shasta Wolf Pack and the Larson Wolf Pack might have come to California from the state of Oregon in the North.

As for the collar on its neck, it was reasonable to say that it would automatically come off after wearing it for a period of time, so that the scientists could easily recycle it. However, sometimes it would get stuck and not come off as expected. As a result, it could not be recycled even after the electricity was used up. This was also normal. If it was a machine, it would malfunction. Gray wolf usually did not care and maintain the collar when it was living and hunting.

Of course, other possibilities couldn’t be ruled out. For example, this Wolf was also a lone wolf that came from Oregon. Because it couldn’t always stay with its parents after growing up, it had to go out and explore to build its own business, territory, and family.

So the wolf howl from last night, was it from this Wolf? Or was this Wolf also attracted by the Wolf’s howl?

The coyote that was bitten by it couldn’t even make a sound because its windpipe was blocked, and its struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

The other coyotes divided up the work, with two in the front to attract the attention of the gray wolf, and the other three running to the side and back of the gray wolf, trying to use the tactic of besieging the Wei to save the Zhao, by attacking the gray wolf to save their companion.

There was an old China saying that wolves had copper heads, iron legs, and tofu waists, which meant that the Wolf’s waist was very fragile. In fact, this was true for most land spinels. It was impossible for their ribs to cover the waist, otherwise, they would not be able to turn around agilely. The human waist was also very fragile.

The gray wolf wasn’t stupid. It was impossible for it to give its weakness to the enemy, but it didn’t want to give up the prey in its mouth, so it simply dragged the coyote in its mouth and ran.

The Coyotes followed closely behind.

The gray wolf ran for a while, put down the coyote in its mouth, showed its fangs, and growled to scare off the Coyotes. When the Coyotes retreat, it picked up the dying coyote and continued to run, just like that, fighting and retreating.

Neither side was interested in Zhang Zian, so they went back and forth, and soon disappeared into the woods.

He waited for a while. The Coyotes and gray wolves didn’t seem to be coming back in a short time, but after a long time, the Coyotes may come back and continue to eat the deer carcasses.

“I’ll go over and take a look. You guys wait here. ” He had the Elfins stay where they were, because it was dangerous to get close to a dead deer.

He quickly took a few deep breaths, then took a deep breath and quickly walked to the deer’s corpse. He held his breath not only to avoid smelling the pungent rancid smell, but also to avoid inhaling the possible airborne substances.

“Gah? What do you want to see? This deer doesn’t have any horns, so it’s most likely a female. You’re not interested!”

Richard, who was the only one not at risk of infection, cherished his life very much. He flapped his wings and left Zian’s shoulder, landing on a branch to comb his feathers.

The back of the deer’s abdomen was dug out from the chrysanthemum by the Coyotes, and the internal organs such as intestines were all dragged out. The green, purple, and red were unbearable to look at, but he deliberately did not let his eyes fall on it.

The smell of the internal organs was probably spreading, and it might attract other scavengers, so he had to be quick.

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

When he was looking through the telescope, he noticed that there was something on the deer’s ear, but it was too far to see clearly. Now, he saw it clearly. It was a yellow ear tag, the kind that was usually used to mark deer in farms.

He picked up his phone and took a few pictures, including the whole body of the deer and the specific ear tag. Then he jogged back to the edge of the open space, exhaled the turbid air in his lungs, and took a few deep breaths quickly to regulate his breathing.

“What are you looking at, you idiot?” Richard flew back to his shoulder. This b*stard’s mouth was really like Tang Sanzang ‘s. The other Elfins knew that he was going to say something and were all waiting to hear it.

“This deer might be a deer waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse.” He said, but both he and the Elfins knew that it was impossible for the deer that was brought into the slaughterhouse to escape from the three-meter-high power grid.

So, the deer probably didn’t escape from the slaughterhouse. Otherwise, it could be written in a book about Shawshank’s redemption. It was most likely that Peter Lee and the others had released it after the slaughterhouse had been struck by lightning and was unable to operate.

Peter Lee and his team were unable to restore the slaughterhouse to normal in a short time. They estimated that it would be suspended for three to five months. What about the batch of live deer that had just arrived that day? It was not realistic to keep them. They did not prepare any feed, and they were not that responsible. They might have just opened the door and let the deer go, leaving them to their own devices.

According to the known information, if a deer on a farm was infected with prion, it was likely that all deer would be infected. As for the deer in the wild, if one of them was infected, the other deer in the same forest would only have a one-third chance of being infected.

No matter what, the beasts that fed on deer in this forest might be in trouble.
