Although the wetland area has significantly shrunk, it is still quite large within this protected area, making it nearly impossible to completely survey with human effort alone.
Moreover, fishing cats typically hide at the base of reed clusters near wetland edges or in the tree hollows near mangroves, and are typical night owls, making it very difficult to confirm their presence.
After preparing the plans for the upcoming week, Chen Ying plans to assist in locating the fishing cat that may have already given birth.
This time he is following Yan Han's cousin over, as a sister from Yan Han's family is married into the village there, hoping to seek the elderly villagers' help.
After arriving and meeting with the team there, summarizing their findings in the search, Chen Ying comes up with a hypothesis that perhaps this fishing cat is actually hiding in some corner of the village to give birth.
