Chapter 121 Clouded Leopard
It has to be said that after following Wen Wanwan to watch the virgin forest for such a long time, a group of viewers can understand the surrounding situation somewhat.

In this area with many trees, Wen Wanwan must be looking for large carnivores.

Although large herbivores will also choose this area for activities, it will certainly not be used as a habitat.

And the difficulty of finding small creatures in this kind of forest is too great.

As Wen Wanwan's footsteps continued to advance in the forest, a group of spectators also discussed what kind of animal they were looking for this time.

The clues they have so far can only be inferred roughly. It is a carnivore, not small in size, and it lives in a jungle area.

This range is too huge. In just a short moment, nearly twenty types have been proposed in the live broadcast room.

Wen Wanwan moved forward extremely fast. After all, as a Druid, he could be said to be at home in this kind of place.

After walking for an hour and a half with the audience in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan stopped under a big tree.

After adjusting the angle of the camera a little, Wen Wanwan also saw the big guy he was thinking of.

Looking at it awakened from sleep, his face was full of smiles.

The mental power that belonged exclusively to the druid spread out, and the vigilance in the eyes of the big guy first turned into doubt, and then turned into excitement, and he quickly jumped down from the tree.

The audience in the live broadcast room only saw a yellow lightning bolt flashing across, and only after the camera fully captured its figure did they see clearly what kind of animal it was.

In sight, a leopard with a body length of about one meter, with its tail standing up to eighty centimeters, was walking towards Wen Wanwan quickly.

This guy was about fifty centimeters tall at the shoulders, and his body size was not very large in the leopard family, but he seemed to weigh at least fifty catties.

Wen Wanwan looked at the big guy who had come to her side, and immediately hugged him vigorously.

After touching its strong muscles, it was introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The leopard in front of us is called a clouded leopard. Its body color is golden yellow and covered with large dark cloud-like markings, so it is called a clouded leopard."

"The edge of the pattern is nearly black, and the center is dark yellow. It looks like a turtle pattern, so it is also called a turtle pattern leopard."

"This guy is a small leopard, usually nocturnal, good at climbing trees, often jumping down from trees to prey on monkeys, birds, mice, hares, deer and other small mammals."

Listening to Wen Wanwan's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room looked at the cat, which seemed to be magnified several times, and the barrage became more and more violent.

Liu Xiaozi: [So cute, the tail is so long~~]

Shuzhusheng: 【So handsome, this figure is really perfect! 】

Sahara Sea: [It's just a little smaller, otherwise it should be more handsome than the Far Eastern Leopard! 】

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan organized the language before continuing to introduce.

"Most leopards belong to the genus Panthera of the subfamily Panthera under the cat family, but the clouded leopard is different. It has a dedicated genus Clouded Leopard under the subfamily Panthera."

"This difference is also because clouded leopards are different from other leopards in terms of habits and other behaviors."

"Due to the extremely developed buccal glands and their special location, clouded leopards do not close their mouths and squint their faces like other cats do when rubbing their cheeks against tree branches as scent marks, but must make a grinning expression."

"After rubbing the face, it will roll over the vegetation on the ground, leaving more smell."

"In addition, clouded leopards often roll their long tails around the tree trunks they pass by, which is also their unique scent marking behavior."

"In terms of predation, clouded leopards are also different from other cats."

"For example, prey killed by tigers and leopards will leave two round holes in the throat pressed by canine teeth, while prey killed by clouded leopards will have wounds on the back of the head or even the back of the neck."

"If you have an understanding of animal history, you should know that this predation method is very similar to a famous creature in history."

As soon as Wen Wanwan finished speaking, a large number of question marks floated up in the live broadcast room.

Don't overestimate the memory of contemporary netizens. One second you still have a remote control in your hand, and the next second you can find it all over the world.

Even if someone who watches videos has heard of it, he may swipe his finger, but two short videos can completely forget it.

Looking at the question marks, Wen Wanwan sighed, "It's a saber-toothed tiger. This way of predation is mentioned in the introduction of saber-toothed tigers!"

Now that short videos are so developed, Wen Wanwan has also seen a lot of introduction videos.

Basically, they all mentioned the way saber-toothed tigers prey, and even some videos mentioned that clouded leopards and saber-toothed tigers prey in the same way.

Qiu Jiang Dudiao: [I remember, I remember seeing such a video before. 】

Potato shreds are delicious: [Hiss, saber-toothed tiger genes, this is a bit powerful! 】

Xiaoju in the alley: [My God, saber-toothed tiger! ! ! 】

After hearing Wen Wanwan's introduction in the live broadcast room, most people became excited.

Thanks to the current games and animations, many people have an understanding of the Ice Age creature like the saber-toothed tiger, and many people even like this ferocious creature very much.

Interest is the best teacher. Seeing the excited state of the audience in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan quickly continued to popularize science.

"The current population of clouded leopards is extremely worrying. There are less than 150 wild clouded leopards in my country."

"Before the forest vegetation was destroyed, the number of clouded leopards in my country was very large. In the 20s and 50s, about 60 to 100 clouded leopard skins were received every year. After the 200s, due to the reduction of habitat, the number of clouded leopards dropped sharply."

"However, about 100 clouded leopard skins are still received every year. It was not until the number of clouded leopards dropped to a freezing point in recent years that poaching disappeared completely."

"At present, the clouded leopard branch of our country has been declared extinct in the first generation of Qinling Mountains, and there are only a small number in the Meili Snow Mountain area."

Although Wen Wanwan's tone was very flat, her words were extremely heavy.

Compared to other big cats, clouded leopards can be called petite.

And it doesn't have much meat itself, and the value of its fur is not very high.

But even so, it is still on the verge of extinction in just a few decades of poaching.

But Wen Wanwan hadn't finished speaking, and the next episode of history made the viewers in the live broadcast room even more chilled.

"Before 1940, traces of the Taiwan clouded leopard could often be seen in the mountains and forests of my country's coastal areas, and even people in some areas used the Taiwan clouded leopard as a racial totem."

"But by the late 20s, there were less than ten Taiwan clouded leopards that could be observed."
