Ranger at the Wucheng Conservation Management Station
While patrolling the Lake District
Suddenly, a small animal was found struggling in the lake
The rangers immediately drove the boat
Rushed to the scene in the rain for rescue
When the ranger got closer, it turned out that it was a river muntjac, a national second-class protected animal, that was trapped. Immediately, they salvaged the river muntjac onto the boat and sent it to the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Wucheng Conservation and Management Station for treatment.
Yuan Ziqi, a monitor at the Wucheng Conservation Station of the Administration of Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province: This river muntjac is very young and weighs very little, so we rescued it to a certain extent.
According to Yuan Ziqi, this river muntjac is about 10 centimeters tall and weighs about 5 kilograms. After a preliminary examination, the right leg of the muntjac was fractured, and it has been bandaged and released back into the wild after it has fully recovered. The reporter learned that due to the recent rainfall, the water level of Poyang Lake has risen rapidly, resulting in the inundation of all the grasslands in the lake area, and the habitat of river muntjac has been affected.
