Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl
Chapter 358 - 356: Not Every Pair of Leopards Care for Each Other Like Brother Leopard and Leopard Sister (Extra)

In nature, it wasn't only males trying to attract females for mating.

Females also sought to attract males, aiming to give birth to stronger offspring.

However, females competing over males were much less common.

"It's her sisters, who settled down in the mountains to the east."

Brother Leopard was cradling his head, his expression completely shattered.

"That female leopard is too prolific! She had sent off five cubs last year, and this year she's planning to give birth again, even asking Leopard Sister how many she plans to have, proposing that they teach hunting to the children together."

"It says both Leopard Sister and I have great physiques, bound to produce strong cubs."

Chen Ying's expression gradually darkened.

Leopard Sister definitely couldn't give birth to more cubs due to her injuries, even with his high medical skills.

No wonder Leopard Sister was feeling down.

If any other female leopard had said such things, Leopard Sister might have struck them if it weren't for her good upbringing. But it was different when it was her own sister.

However, why did he feel that Leopard Sister's actual sister seemed a bit strange?

Could it be that the animal kingdom also embraced this type of character?

Brother Leopard stood up, rubbed his itching back against the chair leg, and stretched fiercely.

"I'll go find her, don't worry, I won't leave her."

After Brother Leopard left, Chen Ying looked around at the thoughtful animals and wiped his face.

Though this place was meant for rescuing troubled animals, how was he supposed to deal with their psychological issues? It seemed his knowledge of animal psychology was rather insufficient.

Elder Tiger pursed his lips, having listened for a while, was that it?

No one expected there to be a continuing saga.

On the third day after Leopard Sister and Brother Leopard returned, another flower leopard arrived.

Initially, they thought it was Leopard Sister's clueless little brother, but upon closer inspection, this leopard was leaner, its eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny and caution.

It stopped voluntarily near the emergency station, then issued a unique flower leopard call.

Leopard Sister and Brother Leopard were sleeping in another animal shed on the second floor, and upon hearing this sound, Leopard Sister instantly woke up and roared back.

Chen Ying, wrapped in his coat, stepped out of his room and stood on the second-floor terrace, directly eye level with the leopard in the tree ten meters away.

Born from the same mother, why was there such a huge disparity between female and male leopards?

Leopard Sister's sister didn't look like someone easy to bully.

Leopard Sister agilely jumped down and called to her sister in the tree, questioning her purpose.

"I was curious why you stayed here, so I came to see."

The female leopard moved a few steps on the branch and lay down to observe the emergency station.

By this time, several little ones and two old tigers had come out.

Big Tiger and Elder Tiger were taking good care of the two little tigers; on the nearby balcony, Jinya and Little Jin were also keeping Dong Sheng, who was even bigger, protected in the middle.

"This place is... too strange."

Leopard Sister's self-proclaimed sister spoke the truth.

So many ferocious beasts gathered together, and they don't fight? Is there enough food?

But then she thought, when she crossed over the mountains to come here, she noticed that the food on this side was much more abundant than in her previous territory.

A hint of greed flashed in her leopard eyes, glancing towards Leopard Sister.

While females might not fight over males, they would contend over territory.

She was pregnant with cubs and needed more food; this place was perfect for raising her children!

Brother Leopard followed close behind, roaring ferociously at the female leopard.

In the animal realm, there were no human morals about not striking one's aunt; daring to bully his wife meant both spouses had to fight back.

But the female leopard hadn't come alone; following Brother Leopard's roar, a male leopard similar in size strode out from the woods.

Goodness gracious, this was a prepared attack.

Elder Tiger slightly lowered his body, on full alert.

Although he was older and not as strong as in his youth, the fierce tiger spirit remained.

Its territory wouldn't tolerate the brazen Male Leopard.

Seeing Elder Tiger adopting an attacking stance, Big Tiger followed suit but with much less fervor.

In contrast, the two Little Tigers would have lunged forward if Elder Tiger hadn't swiftly pinned them down with his paws.

Dong Sheng, standing on the platform, glanced at the four leopards and then the four tigers before looking around himself.

This scene seemed to have taken a strange turn.

Jinya was struggling to hold back from helping, but Little Jin stopped her.

"Just watch, Leopard Sister won't lose."

They all knew Leopard Sister's personality—very strong and clever, and she certainly wouldn't let the two leopards get their way.

The two Female Leopards didn't attack hastily, but Brother Leopard and Scarface immediately engaged in close combat.

Leopard fury!

A flurry of alarmed chirps filled the forest; they opened their mouths wide, mercilessly biting each other's flesh, and their sharp claws left deep scars on each other's bodies.

From initially separating after a touch to later rolling together and tearing at each other, blood dripped onto the grass and young branches broke pitilessly under their assault.

It seemed a long time had passed before they finally determined a victor.

Scarface fled with wounds all over his body.

Brother Leopard shook his head, the fur around his mouth stained with patches of blood.

His icy gaze turned towards the Female Leopard on the branch, his claws slightly extended, seemingly ready to leap at any moment and snap her neck.

The Female Leopard became terrified, her cries mournful as she slowly backed up until she hit the tree trunk.

Then, she quickly leaped down from the tree and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Only then did everyone watching from the pavilion breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Ying immediately made a call to alert the Panda People nearby to watch out for the escaping leopard.

Whether the leopard needed assistance or might harm people in a frenzy, the Panda People and other researchers investigating this area needed to track its whereabouts to prevent any casualties.

Chen Ying posted the video he had just recorded into a large group chat and asked Old Gao to help capture a screenshot of the leopard's facial profile from the monitor and send it as well.

Afterward, Chen Ying quickly led Brother Leopard for a medical check-up; the wounded areas needed immediate disinfection and blood staunching.

Aside from others, his left forelimb was bitten twice, leaving two blood holes, and there were two peeled skin claw marks on each side of his body.

Chen Ying observed and decided to stitch up Brother Leopard.

"You're not allowed to go out these next few days, heal well, or if the stitches come undone, we'll have to sew you up again."

Leopard Sister silently gave him a glance, came over, lay down beside him, and started to gently lick his small wounds.

Saliva is also a good disinfectant.

In the wild, injured animals don't have human medications; licking is their best way of disinfection.

Little Sen took Ruan Mengmeng to the site where the two leopards had fought to collect blood and hair samples for analysis, which would reveal some information about that leopard.

Ruan Mengmeng was keen on learning how to collect and process samples but also wondered why they were doing this.

"Isn't this something those professional researchers should be doing? Will they accept the samples we collect?"

"Of course, they will. Actually, our rescue center has equipment too, but we share information with the Agricultural University's research team. After all, Agricultural University is somewhat a backbone for our emergency station."

An hour later, the center's staff came to collect the samples and informed them that the injured leopard had been spotted in the territory of another Protection Station across Old Bear Gully.

"You wouldn't believe it, but that Male Leopard was severely beaten by the Female Leopard. Of course, it had also to do with being previously hurt already. But still, it's my first time seeing a Female Leopard pinning down a Male Leopard and beating him. Man, it was brutal."

The fight was captured by an infrared camera nearby set up initially to trace the movement of tigers, which now proved useful.

"When I arrived, the center was arranging a vehicle to pick up that Male Leopard. Looking at the video, his injuries seemed severe, his leg almost bitten off."

Little Sen and the others gasped in shock.

Born from the same mother, why is there such a big difference between leopards?

Just as they spoke a few words, they heard a colleague from the center scream and dart to the door.

"You two come in quick, another leopard has shown up."

As Little Sen turned his head, his eyes widened slightly.

What kind of wind blew today that brought this individual down the mountain?
