Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

When collecting seal mother's milk, Hai Bo was already biting a fish and approached. Seeing Chen Ying at work, it didn't dare to cause trouble, held the fish down, and obediently lay nearby waiting.

The second mother seal's pup looked a bit rounder than its brother from its aunt's family, and its appetite was better. Seeing its mom and aunt playing together, it felt a bit hungry, wanting to go for milk, but its mom wouldn't allow it near, though its stomach was painfully hungry.

Just as it was whining, an unfamiliar male seal came over carrying a fish in its mouth, it neither got closer nor ate, just pressed it there watching them from not far away.

The chubby seal cub tilted its head, pitter-pattering as it ran over, biting the fish's tail and then gathering strength to drag it toward itself.

Hai Bo: ??? What's up, I may not beat your mom but can I not beat you?

But before it could make a move, Chen Ying held its head, took the big fish from under its forelimbs, and tossed it to that daring little fellow coveting its food.

Hai Bo was stunned at that moment, looking at Chen Ying in disbelief, and in the next moment started causing a ruckus, rolling side to side on the beach.

Chen Ying looked at it helplessly, stroked its head, "Alright, don't make a fuss, I'll give you shrimp back home."

Upon hearing there would be shrimp to eat, Hai Bo immediately obediently lay at his feet, its tail tapping the ground, making a few muffled sounds.

"I want to eat big shrimp, not ones with hard shells."

Looking at this guy's chubby face, Chen Ying sighed and nodded.

What to do, the mother seal's little darling spoiled by one's own girlfriend, how can he not satisfy it. Isn't it just peeling shrimp, a big man can't say no!

Not far from the beach, there are fishermen selling their catches. Chen Ying went over and bought two barrels of large shrimp and a barrel of small mixed fish, intending to replenish the two nannies' bodies, and also to console the two little seals whose food was stolen.

A barrel of big shrimp and a barrel of mixed fish were dumped at the beach's edge, besides the two mother seals, other seals also attempted to share a bite.

Chen Ying didn't let those big ones get close, waited until the two mother seals had eaten enough, then tossed the rest to those looking still not fully grown young ones.

Adult seals weigh about ninety kilograms, no more than one meter two or three in length, and the juvenile seal are even smaller.

After feeding, Chen Ying carried the remaining barrel of shrimp back, his Hai Bo gracefully slid into the water, then rushed toward home.

The two mother seals watched Chen Ying leave while gathering together, whispering who knows what.

When Chen Ying finished dealing with the shrimp, fed his little seal, then took the preserved seal milk and prepared to depart, he saw the two mother seals with their pups had already settled near the beach by his small house.

Hai Bo, wanting to follow Chen Ying but gently refused, went out and immediately saw the two seal mother-child pairs. Feeling its status threatened, it bounced back, seemingly wanting to close the gate leading to the water pool outside the wooden house.

Chen Ying chuckled, explained to the neighboring couple, and drove off to pick up the baby seal sister.

The next evening, along with the two rescuers responsible for caring for the baby seal sister, he returned to the small wooden house.

Getting out of the car, he heard urgent sounds, a closer look revealed his girlfriend specially designed sleeping spot for Hai Bo was taken over by a strong mother seal, the other mother seal occupied the pool, and the two little guys were following right behind Hai Bo, it moved a step, they moved a step.

Seeing Chen Ying's return, Hai Bo eagerly ran over, feeling aggrieved like a 200-pound big baby.

Rescuers lifted the baby seal sister from the rear compartment of the arriving van and tentatively placed her on the thin ice at the pool edge.

During this season, the ice has started to melt. Chen Ying's house has an underground ice store, a considerable amount of ice was stored during winter. When the weather warms, stored ice will be placed in the pool to cool it down, allowing small creatures who love soaking in water to have the most comfortable private swimming pool.

Meanwhile, the neighboring couple who were informed in advance had already prepared ice ready by the poolside. The rescuers, seeing baby seals cautiously lying on the floating ice and emitting contented sounds, finally felt relaxed.

The mother seal soaking in the water, after the rescuers left, tentatively approached baby seal sister, sniffing a trace of its own scent on her.

Huh? Is this my baby? Then, who was I feeding before?

The bewildered mother seal sniffed again, discovering that only the head bore a familiar scent, the body and tail sections emitted relatively unfamiliar vibes.

Chen Ying waited nearby for a while, took out the last bottle of seal milk and fed it to baby seal sister.

The mother seal watched for a while, then suddenly ran over, pushed Chen Ying away, and yelled at baby seal sister.

The confused baby seal sister looked at the two-legged beast being pushed aside, it was nudged onto the shore by the mother seal, and soon the bottle was also swiped away by the mother seal.

"Oh oh, eat this, what is that thing, can it be eaten?"

Seeing baby seal sister didn't move, the mother seal nudged forward a bit more, "Hurry and eat, eat more to grow plump. See you're skinny like a fish."

Understanding the mother seal's words, Chen Ying held back a laugh and patted baby seal sister's head, "Go eat, your seal mom cares for you."

Baby seal sister tentatively bit down, glanced upwards wanting to observe the mother seal's reaction. Until the warm milk entered her mouth, the mother seal remained unaffected, baby seal sister then relaxed and started gulping down.

Chen Ying brought out a barrel of big shrimp, peeled the shells and fed them to the mother seal's mouth.

Actually, seals prefer eating larger plankton, their favorite being cod, followed by other small fish such as herring and flounder. Then come krill, amphipods, and crabs, the least consumed being cephalopods. Occasionally, ringed seals living in the Arctic Circle prey on solitary penguins, though this phenomenon is rare.

Ringed seals living in the Baltic Sea prey more on benthic fish species and mollusks.

In the wild, seals don't bother peeling shrimp, only their own little seal spoiled at home demands shrimp without shells, both Chen Ying and Dao Meihua indulge the child, fulfilling this outrageous request.

Having peeled shrimp for his own little seal, Chen Ying didn't mind indulging the mother seal willing to help raise baby seal sister. Anyway, when he's not around, it has to eat along with the shell.

The other mother seal resting on the bed saw Chen Ying was feeding its sister delicious food, couldn't stay asleep anymore, hurriedly ran over with a cheeky face also wanting to eat.

But to eat, you gotta do something, so it began nudging its own sister, wanting baby seal sister to eat its own.

Baby seal sister already ate until full, any more bites would make her burp, so she released her grip and slid into the cool pool water to swim around to digest.

Seeing baby seal sister unwilling to eat, that mother seal gloomily returned to its previous spot, dejected, sank into emo status...

(Let me be alone...)

With a new addition to the family, Hai Bo, the big Zai of this house, surely had to care a bit. Most importantly, both mother seals brought little brothers, and suddenly with a baby seal sister, how rare!

Baby seal sister somewhat scared of strangers, looked at them timidly, eyes closed as she sank downwards, wanting to dive to Chen Ying's side for protection.

Hai Bo hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly turned to swim to the other side.

"Chen, is it angry?" One of the rescue workers standing nearby observing the young seals' behavior squatted down and asked quietly.

"Probably not, it might be going to find fish."

Chen Ying also set up a small pond between the pool and the wooden house, stocked with fish that were formerly used for training Hai Bo to hunt, later turned into its snack pantry.

Hai Bo picked and carried out a fat cod from there, happily heading toward baby seal sister.

Placing the fish on the floating ice in front of baby seal sister, Hai Bo even used its nose to nudge it, indicating baby seal sister to go ahead and eat, it has fish, it has big fish!

The other two young male seals watched for a while, simultaneously turned toward the snack pantry, and not long after, each seal was biting a fish, approaching.

Hai Bo was bonding with baby seal sister, but then saw the two mischievous seals stealing its snacks to flatter baby seal sister, angrily bellowed, and charged toward the two young seals like a tank in the water.
