Although Zhang Zi'an's narration is light, everyone knows that even with the help of a dog, it is difficult to catch several fence-eared foxes by one person. In addition to bold and careful planning, you also need to have enough luck.

Wei Kang didn't care about Zhang Zi'an's capture process. His attention was firmly attracted by the fence fox. He urged the four disciples behind him: "What are you still standing there? It's rare to come to the field for field investigation, hurry up and get things to work!"

The three boys responded, dispersed and ran back to the car to get the instruments.

He He has never done such errands. He squatted by the cage, gently tapping on the wire, teasing these cute little foxes. She was fascinated by the small and cute fence foxes, and even forgot her identity as a biological researcher, and really wanted to take them home as pets.

"Be careful of your fingers!" Zhang Zi'an reminded.

He He was stunned and shrank back slightly. Then a fence-eared fox opened his mouth and bit it down fiercely and quickly. It was the leader of the group of fence-eared foxes, and the strongest among them.

Fortunately, she retracted her hand in advance, and it only bit on the wire, and even let out a threatening roar at her, warning her not to have any unreasonable thoughts.

"So fierce!" She was a little scared, but her love for fence foxes was not reduced at all. After all, even cats and dogs sometimes bite their owners, let alone these little foxes living in the wild.

"Teacher, are we going to bring these little foxes back?" She asked Wei Kang happily. If she could bring them all back to China, she would be able to take one home to raise, which would definitely attract the envy of her best friends.

Wei Kang shook his head, "What do you think? We are scientific researchers and come to the field to inspect animals, not to hunt animals. These animals live in the wild and belong only to the field. After we do the research, we must release them to nature."

He He pouted in disappointment, but she knew that Wei Kang was stubborn in academics and would not change once he made a decision.

Zhang Zian had a similar question before. Once Wei Kang really finds the original Egyptian cats, will he catch them and bring them back to China?

It will definitely cause a big sensation after bringing it back to China, but is it really a good thing for the original Egyptian cat?

Wild animals live in the wild. Although artificial breeding will give them a more comfortable living environment and a longer life span, it will ultimately be detrimental to the population, especially for the already rare population. One or two fewer ones may cause a catastrophe to the population.

True scientific researchers will not ignore the righteousness of the biosphere because of their own small profits.

What's more, the environment in the desert is too special, and it is difficult for humans to simulate a similar environment.

Bringing wild animals back to an artificial environment must be in extremely special circumstances so that it does not violate the moral norms of scientific research. For example, it is possible to determine that only this animal is left in the wild and to judge that the population can no longer reproduce naturally.

Zhang Zi'an's tent door moved, Fina walked out yawning, and heard Wei Kang's words, staring at his back thoughtfully.

At this time, the three boys also ran back with a bunch of instruments in their arms.

Wei Kang solemnly said to Li Pitt: "Mr. Li Pitt, we may have to postpone some departures. This is our job. We will catch up with you as soon as possible after we finish."

Li Pitt waved his hand gently, "I said that the entire team is a group, and they are moving forward and retreating together. I support your research very much. We agreed in advance. We will set off together after you finish. Even if you stay here this morning, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, thank you."

Wei Kang nodded deeply and called on his disciples to start working.

Others were not in a hurry to learn that they would postpone their departure this morning. Some went back to their tents to sleep, some listened to music and had breakfast leisurely, and some stayed to continue watching.

Wei Kang and his team first took pictures of the fence foxes with cameras and cameras, recorded the location of discovery, and then anesthetized them with ketamine. After the anesthetic drugs took effect, they fell asleep one after another, took them out of the cage, placed them flat on the ground, measured and recorded a series of vital signs such as body length, weight, body temperature, and heartbeat.

Apart from the use of anesthetics, other work is not complicated. After watching the demonstration, Zhang Zian and other people present also helped.

Wei Kang guides everyone from time to time to remind everyone to pay attention to things, such as asking everyone to wear disposable gloves, because the fur of this wild animal may contain parasites such as fleas and may also carry bacteria, especially reminding Zhang Zi'an not to let Fina and Feimas come into contact with these fence foxes.

Zhang Zian said with peace of mind that fortunately, Fina and Feimas didn't let Fena catch the fence fox personally yesterday, otherwise it would be troublesome if it was infected with any bacteria. After returning, it might also be transmitted to the animals in the entire pet store.

After these things are done, the next step is to wear a gps wireless transmitting collar on these fence foxes.

The gps collar is very light and can be adjusted to tighten and is only about 100 grams, which will not affect the animal's activities too much, but it has a very complete function. It has built-in gps, wireless transmitter, body temperature sensor, activity indicator and battery. It can be used for one year in a row when recording GPS information once an hour. It will automatically fall off after power loss. After falling off, it can still transmit wireless signals for one month, allowing researchers to find these collars through the wireless receiver and take them back to analyze the various data recorded therein.

These field research work are often calculated in the past years. The data is hard to get, the working environment is harsh, but there is no flowers or applause. Ordinary people often cannot understand the use of these boring data they have obtained through consuming scientific research funds.

"Do we have to come again in a year?" Zhang Zian asked while wearing a collar for the fence fox.

Wei Kang smiled and said, "If you have the chance, it's OK, but I guess the budget will probably not be approved. It doesn't matter. Even if we don't come, our colleagues at Cairo University will pick up these collars for us at that time."

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Zi'an nodded. It seemed that Wei Kang had already made arrangements with Cairo University in advance.

After putting a collar on each fence fox, Wei Kang adjusted the collar settings to check whether the data and signal reception were normal. Judging from his expression, the collar worked normally and everything was fine.

After breakfast, Wei Kang looked at it and the time was almost over. The effect of the anesthetics might be almost over. He called Zhang Zi'an and his disciples and returned to the sand dune where Zhang Zi'an captured them, preparing to release them back to nature.
