Danger: A Golden Cat Appeared in the Jungle!

(???)

(Host, what's going on? I think I heard some animal sounds outside!)

(Could it be a leopard or something?)

(Damn, Host, don't end the stream! Let us see! If it's a leopard or something, wouldn't the Host be in danger?)

(Yeah, if it's a leopard, not only will the Host be in danger, but the Giant Panda family will be too!)

"Woof woof."

As the viewers discussed it, a sound resembling a dog's bark came from outside.

Lin Xuan's expression changed the moment he heard it.

It was clearly Panda Mother's voice.

He hurriedly opened the tent and walked outside. The Panda Mother, who had been sleeping, had assumed a defensive posture. Her black eyes remained fixed on the jungle not far ahead!

"Woof woof!!"

Panda Mother barked again.

(???)

(Huh? Why does Panda Mother sound like a dog barking?)

(Yeah, this is my first time hearing Panda Mother make a sound like that.)

At that moment, Ink Plum Like Painting gave an explanation in the livestream room.

In fact, Giant Pandas could make at least thirteen different sounds.

Giant Pandas could bleat, squeak, whimper, bark, honk...

For Giant Pandas, bleating was generally used when searching for their young or courting a mate.

Of course, they could also make birdlike "chirp chirp" sounds while courting.

But if a Giant Panda barked like a dog, you had to be careful, because an angry Giant Panda might be looking for a fight.

In fact, pandas did more than make calls; adult pandas and cubs also had different ways of communicating.

A Panda Cub's shriek usually meant it felt cold outside its mother's body and wanted Panda Mother to adjust her position.

Once Mom adjusted her position, a comfortable Panda Cub would make happy "coo coo" sounds.

If they shrieked continuously for a long time, they were definitely extremely uncomfortable or starving.

After Ink Plum Like Painting's explanation, the viewers immediately understood.

(So that's how it is. I never expected Giant Pandas to make thirteen different sounds. Useless knowledge acquired.)

(So Panda Mother noticed the danger too? She's making that sound as a warning!)

(But what is it? It's already dark, so we can't see anything!)

(Yeah, whether it's a leopard, a Black Bear, or something else, we don't know for now.)

Since he had been preparing to sleep earlier, Lin Xuan had put away the drone. Now, there was a wild beast not far from them, but they had no idea what kind it was.

Lin Xuan activated the drone, switched it to night vision, and flew it toward the direction where the beast had appeared.

Under the drone's night vision, Lin Xuan and the viewers soon saw it.

Its body was around 120 centimeters long, and its tail was around 39.5 centimeters long.

Its skull was large yet lightly built. The top was broad and flat, while the braincase was large and rounded.

The distance from the front edge of the eye socket to the front end of the premaxilla exceeded the diameter of the eye socket. Its nasal bones were broad, and the front middle portion of the frontal bone was slightly concave.

Ink Plum Like Painting: (If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Golden Cat, right?)

(A Golden Cat?)

Golden Cat (scientific name: Catopuma temminckii): A member of the cat family and the Golden Cat genus.

It weighed 10 to 15 kilograms and had a body length of 78 to 100 centimeters. Its tail was 48 centimeters long, about half its body length.

Its fur was yellow, while its spine was brownish-black. There was a white stripe around 20 millimeters long on the inner front side of each eye corner, followed by a broad yellowish-brown stripe extending backward to the nape, with black stripes on either side.

A white stripe beneath the eyes extended to below the base of the ears, with distinct black lines along both its upper and lower edges.

The backs of its ears were black, with gray fur at their bases.

There were faint black transverse stripes or spotted markings on its throat and chest.

Its head markings were consistent, but its coat color varied greatly. Some individuals had blackish-brown back fur with beautiful irregular patterns.

Some individuals were entirely pale brownish-white. There were mainly three color morphs: bright red Red Golden Cats, grayish-brown and dark grayish-brown Golden Cats, and spotted Golden Cats.

Golden Cats were medium-sized felines. Their body length ranged from 116 to 161 centimeters.

Their tails measured 400 to 560 millimeters, ranging from one-half to one-third of their body length.

They weighed 12 to 15 kilograms.

Males weighed 13.5 kilograms, with a body length of 91 centimeters, a tail length of 41 centimeters, a right hind paw measuring 18 centimeters, ears measuring 5.5 centimeters, and a right upper canine measuring 16 millimeters.

Female Golden Cats were smaller than males. Females weighed 7.9 kilograms, with a body length of 77 centimeters, a tail length of 39.5 centimeters, hind legs measuring 15.5 centimeters, and a right upper canine measuring 13 millimeters.

Under the drone's night vision, this beast's body length was similar to that of the Golden Cat I described, which was why I believed it was a Golden Cat.

(So that's how it is. This young lady really knows her stuff when it comes to these animals!)

(Yeah, she's amazing!)

(Everyone, stop praising me for now. We should be worried about the Host.)

(Yeah, although the Golden Cat doesn't look that big, it's still a wild animal, and its bite force is very strong!)

Hearing the system's voice, Lin Xuan confirmed that this was indeed a Golden Cat, and that Golden Cats were National Second-Class Protected Animals.

If it had been another animal, he could have acted and killed it.

But this Golden Cat was also a Second-Class Protected Animal, so he could only drive it away.

They were both Second-Class Protected Animals, and Panda Mother's cubs had been delivered with his help.

It could be said that he had played a part in bringing these three Panda Cubs into the world.

Naturally, he did not want to see the three Panda Cubs killed and eaten by this Golden Cat.

Lin Xuan took out a fuel lamp and lit it. Before long, its light illuminated the area.

He picked up a stick and looked toward the black shadow not far away.

He let out a tiger-like roar, trying to drive the Golden Cat away with sound.

But Lin Xuan soon realized that the Golden Cat showed no fear at his roar. It did not even move from where it stood.

This...

(Is this Golden Cat too hungry? The Host's tiger-like roar sounded incredibly real even to me, but this Golden Cat isn't scared at all!)

(Yeah, I think it must be starving. Seeing that Panda Mother gave birth to cubs, it doesn't want to give up this food even with the Host here.)
