Sheep and wolves were originally natural enemies, but at the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Qinghe County, a rescued small plate sheep and a group of artificially fed wolf cubs staged a warm scene of harmonious coexistence and harmony.
On April 19, the reporter learned from the rescue center that the small plate of sheep was found by Asler Kalman, a border guard in Agas Ao Bao Township, on April 14 when he was patrolling the Zolette Mountains. According to Asler Kalman, on that day, he was on patrol when he suddenly heard a strange sheep cry in the valley, followed the sound and walked over to see that it was a small plate sheep that had been separated from his mother.
"It should have been born a few days ago, the umbilical cord on its stomach had not fallen off, and it was hiding in a sheltered place shivering." Asler Kalman said that after searching for the mother of the small pan sheep around without success, he quickly contacted the police of the border police station in Agashi Ao Bao Township and transferred the small pan sheep to the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Qinghe County.
According to Gao Weidong, the director of the rescue center, after the small plate sheep came to the rescue center, the breeders put it together with a litter of wolf cubs that were feeding in order to facilitate care, "These 5 wolf cubs were born less than a month ago, and they are the cubs of the she-wolf of our local wolf culture science popularization base. He said that when the little pan sheep first arrived, it was still a little timid, "It seems to be a little afraid of this strange environment, and has been hiding alone in the distance to watch the little wolf cub." ”
However, in less than half a day, the staff found that the small plate sheep and the small wolf cub had become "good friends", and the small plate sheep was no longer timid, and occasionally ran and jumped with the little wolf cub and spread joy together.
According to reports, at present, in addition to eating milk powder, 5 baby wolf cubs have begun to eat foods with bone meal. Because the small plate sheep did not like to eat formula milk powder, the staff found a female goat for it, "the milk of the female goat was milked to eat, and it ate quickly." Gao Weidong said that the amount of food of this small plate of sheep is getting bigger and bigger every day, and its body is much stronger than when it first came, "We plan to feed it for a while, and when it eats grass and has the ability to live independently, we will put it back to nature." ”
