Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Chapter 69: Stranded dolphin rescue operations

Views:

There are many kinds of wild animals in Africa, such as giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and other unique animals, which are familiar to everyone. When opening a zoo to introduce African animals, these will basically be given priority.

Duan Jiaze first set his sights on the cheetah, because the cheetah is a solitary animal, so you can only buy one, as poor as they are, of course it is a priority. After inquiring around, the price may soar to 300,000 to 400,000 yuan if it is imported directly from Africa, plus air freight, quarantine and other expenses.

There are also zoos breeding in China. Duan Jiaze thought about it for a long time, and he still wanted to buy a local cheetah, which would be more cost-effective, at least one hundred thousand less.

However, after asking around, it still needs to be booked, and it will take at least three months. Duan Jiaze counted the time, so hurry up and make a reservation, otherwise it will exceed the deadline of his mission.

Fortunately, money came in on the other side, and the city's subsidy fund applied for one million yuan. This application is made on an annual basis, and applications can be made every year.

In addition, it is the first wave of sales in the surrounding areas. Within a week, the online and offline sales totaled nearly 10,000, and the sales will continue in the future.

Jiajia Restaurant can be regarded as a major source of income, which made Duan Jiaze sometimes think, it's nothing if the real estate is not successful, and the restaurant was also profitable when it was made.

Now basically other income is used to subsidize the introduction of animals.

Duan Jiaze himself didn't touch the money in the account at all, and he didn't have time to squander it. Now he still takes the bus or electric car to go to the city. He has a belief that Astragalus has been analyzed for him, and he will be able to recover after one to two years.

Astragalus is inexplicable. If the head of the garden hadn't insisted on introducing animals in such a tight rhythm, they would have been able to live happily.

Under such circumstances, Duan Jiaze went to the boring veterinarian, intending to take the colorful munia with him and send it into the city himself, and chat with the people from the city zoo by the way, so that he has some questions to ask before introducing it.

As soon as Duan Jiaze arrived at the veterinarian's office, the colorful munia jumped a few times in the cage very happily when he saw Duan Jiaze, and croaked happily.

"Little darling." Duan Jiaze teased Wenniao, and first called Section Chief Jia, planning to make an appointment.

But Chief Jia didn't answer the phone. Duan Jiaze called his office again, but no one answered. Duan Jiaze thought he might be in a meeting, so he sat in the veterinarian's office for a while.

Veterinarian Xu Xin looked at Duan Jiaze, rubbed his hands and said, "Director, how are your penguins hatching?"

They study veterinary medicine, and many animals can learn it in college. There are differences according to different directions, and there are other subjects such as biochemistry, biophysiology, and animal genetics.

But there is also a considerable amount of knowledge that is learned after work, depending on where you work and what kind of animals are there.

Xu Xin had never learned how to hatch penguins, but he had helped Adélie penguins in artificial brooding in other zoos before, so he was also very interested in Duan Jiaze's emperor penguin hatching.

Duan Jiaze got excited when he mentioned the penguins, and said, "I think they hatched well. I took care of the eggs yesterday. I think I'm going to be a father in a month."

It takes about two months for the penguin eggs to hatch. Duan Jiaze started from arranging the incubator and caring for the penguin eggs. Of course, he has a parental mentality. At this moment, he has appointed a nurse, "When the time comes, you will have work to do." Yes, help me to raise the chicks together."

This task is also very important. The death rate of the little penguins is very high, and Duan Jiaze must not be busy alone. He has to feed every one or two hours. He has other tasks to be busy with.

"Okay, okay." Xu Xin was overjoyed. Finally, there was work to do. In fact, he wanted to help since the hatching, but Duan Jiaze gave him the data at most and didn't let him participate in the front line.

Duan Jiaze thought to himself, this task is very suitable for Kunpeng. After the little penguin is born, the penguin father and penguin mother will regurgitate the half-digested food to the little penguin...

But this is in theory. In fact, it is impossible for Duan Jiaze to allow Kunpeng to raise the chicks after Lu Ya helped to hatch them. Lu Ya will definitely blow them up.

Duan Jiaze swiped through the circle of friends. As usual, he saw a bunch of likes from monks and priests. He clicked on the message and looked at it casually. When he swipe down, he saw Chief Jia's circle of friends.

Jia Siyun: The rare national treasure of the ocean, the Chinese white dolphin is being rescued! bless! [join palm][join palm]

The accompanying picture is a dolphin lying in the ambulance pool, the whole body color is beautiful pink.

Jia Siyun also replied to others in the comments: Tourists found it, the fishery administration organized rescue, the protection center is too far away, temporarily in our garden!

The message was sent an hour ago. No wonder Chief Jia didn't answer the phone. It turned out that he was treating dolphins. There is no aquarium in the city zoo, only a cetacean hall.

Duan Jiaze also asked in the comments: How is the situation

Duan Jiaze also showed the news to Xu Xin. Xu Xin had experience in treating cetaceans and dolphins, so he shook his head and sighed when he saw it, "It's a pity, this is the Chinese white dolphin."

Duan Jiaze didn't know much about the rescue of stranded dolphins, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Xin explained: "The recovery rate of dolphins is very low. In my impression, there have been no successful rescue cases of Chinese white dolphins in the past ten years. Of course, I don't know what happened to this one. If it is not due to internal reasons It’s okay to be stranded, but to be traumatized.” However, most dolphins are stranded because of the former.

Duan Jiaze realized that the situation was quite critical when he heard it. He asked in Jia Siyun's circle of friends: "Jia Ke is still busy?" How is the situation

After more than ten minutes, Jia Siyun called back.

"Director Duan, I'm sorry, I didn't receive your call just now."

Duan Jiaze: "It's okay, how is the Chinese white dolphin over there?"

Jia Siyun sighed and said: "It's miserable, I can't breathe on my own, and now I am still intervening to help my breathing. The situation is not very optimistic. I just took a picture and checked the blood."

Although he knew that the survival rate of dolphins was not high, Duan Jiaze was still a little sad when he heard what Jia Siyun said, "Jia Ke, can I come over? We have an expert in the park who has rich experience in dolphin rescue."

Xu Xin: "??"

Jia Siyun: "Hey, of course it's okay! Our director Bao is leading the treatment and is discussing the condition. We are preparing to dispense the medicine. You can bring your experts here to participate in the treatment."

Duan Jiaze stood up immediately, "Sure, I'll be right there."

Duan Jiaze hung up the phone, picked up the birdcage, "Let's go, let's go."

Xu Xin said incoherently: "No, director, the experienced dolphin rescue expert you mentioned just now, is it me?"

Duan Jiaze: "No, it's me."

Xu Xin: "..."

Duan Jiaze: "You are the only veterinarian in the whole park, who else would you be?"

"..." Xu Xin said weakly, "Director, I just participated in some treatment, my main direction is not..."

"It's okay, then this time it's time to accumulate experience." Duan Jiaze pulled him away.

Duan Jiaze rode an electric scooter with a birdcage in his hand, and drove Xu Xin on the back seat all the way to the city zoo, and then rushed to the treatment room of the cetacean hall. There were many people here, except for the relevant departments, experts and employees of the city zoo, There were even reporters squatting on guard.

Donghai City is only that big, and at first glance, more than half of the people had seen each other. Duan Jiaze, wearing a hoodie, squeezed in to greet them.

Jia Siyun saw that Duan Jiaze was still holding the colorful munia bird in his hand, "Oh, is this bird ready?"

Although the colorful munia bird didn't open its voice, it looked different. Jia Siyun thought to himself, never thought that the veterinarian in Lingyuan really had two brushes, which could also be cured.

"Yes." Duan Jiaze looked with his head. In a pool ahead, the stranded Chinese white dolphin was surfacing to breathe with the help of several staff members. It seemed that it had not yet recovered to breathe spontaneously.

"This is the expert in your garden, come on, Director Bao is over there." Jia Siyun led them to the dispensing room, where Director Bao was busy.

Director Bao shook hands with Duan Jiaze and Xu Xin, "Director Duan even led a team here to help, haha."

Director Bao had a good impression of Duan Jiaze. They had communicated with each other. Duan Jiaze's aquarium opened and invited people from his city's zoo to communicate with him. He felt that Duan Jiaze liked aquariums very much. No wonder he invited Ying over this time.

"Leading the team, just the two of us." Duan Jiaze said shyly, "It's up to Director Bao to try our best."

Director Bao took Xu Xin to dispense the medicine, and Duan Jiaze went to the pool to watch. The age of this Chinese white dolphin is unknown, but it is certain that it is an adult. Their skin is gray when they are young, and it will turn pink only when they are adults.

It is about two meters long. It is a female with a narrow and pointed snout. With the help of the staff, it floats its head out of the water to breathe. It looked very worrying.

Jia Siyun said from the side: "I just took antibiotics, and I don't know if I can survive it."

He didn't want to say something frustrating, and no one in the room would say anything, but everyone was more or less convinced that this situation is really difficult to recover. Humans currently have no particularly effective means of treating stranded dolphins, especially domestic research in this area less.

"Do you still have any clothes? Let me go down and help, those guys must have been standing there for a long time." Duan Jiaze suggested.

Jia Siyun glanced at Duan Jiaze. Generally, zoo directors only do some management work. There are very few people like Duan Jiaze who do everything by themselves. He knew that Duan Jiaze would also feed the birds himself.

However, everyone had long guessed that Duan Jiaze was a rich second generation who opened the zoo purely out of interest, so it's not surprising. Regardless of Duan Jiaze's background, Jia Siyun admired his enthusiasm and gave him a suit.

—Of course, if Duan Jiaze knew what Jia Siyun was thinking, he would definitely tell him that the number of professionals in Lingyuan is far less than half because of poverty.

Duan Jiaze put on the onesie, went into the water, replaced a staff member, and pulled the mat that helped the dolphins float.

He touched the dolphin, and he could feel the slippery skin of the dolphin through the gloves, and he could even feel its weakness and struggle at this time, and said softly: "It's okay, it will be fine soon after taking the medicine."

The dolphin opened its mouth and responded to Duan Jiaze with a small cry.

Seeing Duan Jiaze comforting the dolphin so tenderly and full of confidence, the other staff members' moods changed a little. Everyone hoped that the treatment would be successful, and most feared that there was no hope at all.

Not long after, director Bao's side prepared the medicine, which needed to be fed, and they went into the water to feed the medicine.

There are also reporters in Chishang who are taking pictures and recording this scene. If the treatment is successful, this is good news.

After the dolphins were fed with drugs, Duan Jiaze didn't dare to release the spell immediately. He wasn't sure whether it would have the same immediate effect on the dying animals as the muffins.

Although his heart was tormented, Duan Jiaze waited for a while before drawing a pentagon on the dolphin's abdomen under the guise of stroking.

According to normal logic, there is also an upper limit to this spell, otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to keep some animals alive, as long as Duan Jiaze kept releasing the spell. Therefore, it only has a certain healing power, and Duan Jiaze is prepared to release it a few more times to save the white dolphin.

After the fingertips became hot, in the past five minutes, the Chinese white dolphin gradually recovered the ability to breathe independently under the surprise eyes of everyone, swung its body away from the mat, and swam slowly in the pool water. much better.

Director Bao cheered up: "There is hope!"

This is a good start, Director Bao praised: "Xiao Xu is good, he gave a lot of advice."

Xu Xin was flattered, "No, I just gave a little opinion, mainly from your side."

Director Bao laughed loudly and said: "Forget it, it seems shameless for us to say this now, and we will talk about it after we are rescued."

Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh, "Okay."

But Director Bao felt that Director Xiaoduan still wanted to praise him.

He felt that he was right about Duan Jiaze, this young guy, even though he usually likes to have his head permed (Duan Jiaze: I am so wronged!), he is not ambiguous at all when something happens, he brings someone over without saying anything , I also dived into the water.

Duan Jiaze didn't even take off his clothes at the moment, and he collapsed on the ground to rest. He was a little tired after standing for several hours just now.

After re-examination, although the Chinese white dolphin is still relatively weak, it is out of danger and can still eat. However, because it is still weak, it is not good to feed the whole fish immediately, but to feed it with fish paste, reconcile some vitamins, calcium tablets and the like.

After eating, the spirit of the dolphin improved a little.

Duan Jiaze was lying on the edge of the pool watching it, and the dolphin floated out of its upper body, and chirped a few times in Duan Jiaze's direction.

Others may not feel it, but Duan Jiaze seems to be able to sense the intimacy in its call. Although he knows that the dolphin has poor eyesight, he subconsciously smiles at it.

Director Bao recorded the data in amazement, and at the same time, there was something strange, "Unprecedented success, within 24 hours, he was out of danger, and recovered to breathe and eat independently. But I don't understand which step played a key role Woolen cloth?"

It may take some time for the Chinese white dolphin to fully recover, but the changes in this day are already very clear.

Director Bao was puzzled and compared the data desperately, but sometimes nature is so miraculous, even if the situation and medication are exactly the same, the treatment results are not the same, and there are some rare cases born because of the tenacious desire to survive—Director Bao has already Started to think about it.

Duan Jiaze hid his achievements and fame, and said to Xu Xin: "Then we will go back first, and I will ask Xu Xin to come over to study with you tomorrow during the day."

"Okay, okay." Director Bao agreed, they still have to observe here all night, and Director Duan and the others have already done a lot.

Xu Xin was still very excited on the road, and said to Duan Jiaze: "Director, I have a strong hunch that this dolphin can survive. Tell me, is it still thinking about its cubs? That's why it has such a strong desire to survive. ?”

In that state, after taking the medicine, I really improved!

Duan Jiaze yawned, "I don't know."

Xu Xin has participated in many dolphin rescues, and there are only a few successful cases. As he said before, the Chinese white dolphin has never been successful. .

After the dolphin is out of danger, it should be sent to a protected area. Xu Xin has already started fantasizing, when it returns to the sea, it has been waiting for its relatives to reunite with it, and then a group of pink dolphins are jumping in the sea...

"Hey, Expert Xu, wake up." Duan Jiaze shook his palm in front of Xu Xin's eyes when he saw Xu Xin's madness.

Xu Xin came back to his senses, and said embarrassedly: "... I'm distracted, director, then I'm going to sleep, and I'll go there tomorrow."

"Well, good night." It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Duan Jiaze walked back to his room wearily.

After opening the door and turning on the light, Duan Jiaze was startled as soon as he turned around. He almost said "I'm sorry", but subconsciously took a step back and bumped into the wall.

Lu Ya actually sat on the chair in his room with his legs crossed, his handsome face was covered with dark clouds, as if someone had stepped on his third foot.

— Did this guy sit in my room in the dark before? How long have you been sitting

Two questions flashed through Duan Jiaze's mind, and he said with a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, Daojun, why are you so weird."

Lu Ya sneered and accused, "Go out during the day and come back now, are you still hatching the eggs?"

Duan Jiaze: "..."

Duan Jiaze screamed: "Ah! Really forgot! My ass!"

It can only be said that the director is still too young, too nervous when he was in the city zoo, and his mind was so focused on the dolphins that he forgot other important things.

Seeing Duan Jiaze's miserable appearance, Lu Ya continued to complain contentedly: "It's because I chilled your eggs twice, adjusted the temperature and humidity once, and turned them over..."

This was not even a small effort for Lu Ya, but from his tone, Duan Jiaze almost thought he made up for it.

But Duan Jiaze has the nerve to say that Lu Ya, he really overestimated himself before, and it was really too busy to incubate by himself. Fortunately, Lu Ya will help.

Lu Ya did a good job in this matter, which once again proved that Lu Ya really has a good heart, and he yelled so fiercely, so he helped him hatch the eggs.

So Duan Jiaze folded his palms together and bowed to Lu Ya, "It's really thanks to Daojun this time, otherwise I might send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Daojun is really kind..."

Lu Ya: "..."

Duan Jiaze peeked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya stood up, with an unnatural blush on his face, as if he was a little ashamed. Probably no one in the fairy world would dare to praise him like that, "Really, it's full of ridiculous words."

Duan Jiaze said with a smile: "Mr. Dao has really put in a lot of effort this time. When our baby is born, I will recognize you as a godfather."

He pondered in his heart, if Lu Ya agreed, wouldn't it be more logical for him to shoulder the responsibility of helping hatch when he was not free...

Hearing what he said, Lu Ya wondered whether he should get angry for a long time, and then looked away for a long time, and said in a neutral voice: "Hmph, a mortal bird, how can He De recognize me as a godfather?"
