On the afternoon of March 4, Xiaolongtan Wildlife Rescue Station received an injured Chinese muntjac from Banqiao Center for Management and Conservation of Shennongding Management Office.
It was sent there by the patrol staff of the Center after their urgent medical treatment at the sight of it being bitten by a dog. Upon its arrival, the workers in the station gave it a thorough check-over, spotting varied degrees of scratches on its left and right legs as well as tail. After a series of medical treatments, including wound disinfection, bandaging, transfusion therapy, nutritional supplementation, and overall assessment, they rested assured about its health and released it into the wild.
Chinese muntjac is reported to be one of China's wildlife that are on the List of Terrestrial Wild Animals of Important Ecological, Scientific, and Social Value. That's why the muntjac is highly valued.
This creature may be strange to many people, but they are very common in our lives. A male muntjac grows a pair of sharp horns while a female muntjac doesn't have them but bears a protuberant bone in the forehead. Such a distinctive feature makes them quite special among muntjacs.
With the ongoing expansion of human activities, the Chinese muntjac' survival is at risk due to diversified issues, such as hunting, illegal trafficking, and ecological damage. In this regard, we're obliged to protect them, which also means the conservation of our own ecosystem. (Written by Wang Tao)
