But a guess was still a guess.
Although there were not many people in the live broadcast room, only about 300 people, Lu Chen would not say it so easily before he had concrete evidence to prove his guess.
In the picture, the snow leopard was lying in a shallow depression in the stone wall. There was a slightly messy dry grass on the ground, as well as the bones of some small animals.
Obviously, this was a small " sanctuary."
On the plateau, even the gentle mountain wind was piercingly cold.
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room was discussing this snow leopard, Lu Chen stopped the car.
Carrying his protective gear, he walked to the snow leopard's location while checking the snow leopard's column in the recently unlocked Rare Animals and Plants Illustrated Guide!
[Name: Chinese Snow Leopard]
Chordates, Mammalia, Eutheria, Carnivora, Feline Leopard, Snow Leopard species.
It was also known as the mugleaf leopard and the horse fever.
[Rare Grade: S]
China's Species Red List Assessment Level: Extinction (Critical)
It really was the extinct Chinese snow leopard!
Lu Chen gasped.
In his previous life, as a scholar who conducted ecological exploration in the Kunlun Mountains, the Chinese snow leopard was naturally on the search list.
However, the last time a Chinese snow leopard was found alive was nearly twenty years ago!
In the past 20 years, although many exploration teams had collected biological information, they had never found any traces of the Chinese snow leopard!
The world conservation organization ICUN had already defined the Chinese snow leopard as "naturally extinct" 20 years ago.
However, because it lived in an area where no one had ever visited, China had never given up on searching for it. Therefore, it was a little later than the ICUN's judgment of extinction.
And now, a living Chinese snow leopard had appeared!
At this time, the number of viewers in Lu Chen's live broadcast room increased. There were also some students from the zoology and botany major who recognized the identity of the Chinese snow leopard.
Oh my god, is this the Chinese snow leopard known as the " Lord of the Snow Mountain "? I've seen it in textbooks!
But didn't the Chinese snow leopard go extinct?
"It should be said that we are really very lucky to be able to meet the Chinese snow leopard, an animal that has been defined as extinct, on the first day of our exploration journey.”
At this moment, everyone noticed that a small image had appeared in the upper right corner of the live broadcast. It was Lu Chen, who had already gotten out of the car and was walking towards the spot where the snow leopard was found.
It really was a Chinese snow leopard!
Oh my god, we actually found an extinct creature!
Quick, quick, quick, contact the National Animal and Plant Protection Association!
Why didn't the host drive over? They were so far away, and it would be too slow to walk over. What if the snow leopard ran away?
"The RV is too big. We're less than five miles away from the snow leopard.”
Lu Chen shook his head.
"If we drive over rashly and scare that snow leopard, I'm afraid it will cause irreversible consequences.”
In such a snowy plateau, even someone like Lu Chen who was used to the plateau was still a little breathless.
"Because that Chinese snow leopard is a female.
If I'm not wrong, it's probably in production now.”
A female snow leopard in labor!
As soon as Lu Chen's words came out, it instantly caused a huge uproar in the live broadcast room!
Oh my god, that's a female snow leopard. Is it giving birth to a cub?
No wonder its belly looked so round. It was actually pregnant with the snow leopard cub!
It was in so much pain, and its breathing was fluctuating.
Lu Chen controlled the small bird-shaped drone and slowly approached the snow leopard.
It had to be said that the drone exchanged by the system was really first-class and powerful, and its appearance was quite realistic.
Even though he was only a few meters away from the Chinese snow leopard, he did not disturb it!
At this moment, its full appearance was displayed in front of everyone.
This snow leopard was not very long, only a little more than a meter long, and its eyes were green.
"From the color of the fur and the shape of the teeth, this should be a young mother.”
Lu Chen was also paying attention to this snow leopard.
However, the audience was watching the new scene, while Lu Chen was paying attention to the snow leopard's condition.
"Although it might be a blow to everyone, I have to remind you that this young snow leopard mother is not in a good state.”
Lu Chen looked at the mother snow leopard worriedly.
"It looked like it had used up all its strength. It was just lying there panting heavily.
Although its round belly twitched occasionally, it did not exert any strength.
Most importantly, Lu Chen could see some traces of moisture near the "exit" under its abdomen. It had almost dried up.
However, there was no trace of the snow leopard cub.
This also meant that this mother snow leopard was very likely to have a difficult labor!”
…………
At the same time, he received a call from an enthusiastic audience in Lu Chen's live broadcast room. The China Rare Animals and Plants Protection Association and the China Institute of Endangered Animals and Plants connected to Lu Chen's live broadcast room almost at the same time!
"Oh my god, it's a Chinese snow leopard. It's really a Chinese snow leopard!!”
"A pregnant Chinese snow leopard!”
A group of professors who were dedicated to the study of endangered animals were so excited that they almost cried when they saw the scene!
After so many years, they had finally found traces of the Chinese snow leopard!
However, this good news was accompanied by worry.
Just as the host said, the group of old professors also discovered that the mother snow leopard was in a difficult labor.
The situation was critical!
However, even if Lu Chen provided the coordinates, it would probably take a few hours to send a helicopter over.
If it was the hinterland of Mount Kunlun, it would take even more time!
At that time, not only would the baby snow leopard die in the womb, but even the mother would be in danger!
"Immediately connect to the website that this streamer is on and try your best to think of a way to talk to him!”
At this moment, a dignified and old voice sounded.
It was Qin Xin, the director of China's Institute of Endangered Animals!
The picture attached to this chapter is a snow leopard!
