深圳淘金山幼儿园孩子与野生豹猫的自然共处记

深圳淘金山幼儿园的小三班小朋友通过一场自然观察，上了一堂生动的生命教育课。1孩子们花费28天时间亲手孵化养大的大白鹅遭到野生豹猫的捕食，老师随即引导孩子们理解这是野生动物的生存本能。1豹猫是国家二级保护野生动物，白天躲在树洞、石缝里休息，晚上出来捕猎找食物。1

为了深入观察豹猫的习性，幼儿园安装了红外相机进行24小时观测，不发光、没有噪音。1孩子们观察发现，豹猫长期捕食大白鹅的原因之一是缺少水源。1他们随后在树阴下挖掘浅土坑为豹猫搭建小水坑，提供干净饮水。1红外相机的后续记录显示，豹猫多次前来喝水、戏水。1自从有了稳定干净的水源后，豹猫不再靠近捕食大白鹅，恢复了山林自然生活。1

Children at Taojinshan Kindergarten in Shenzhen discovered a wild leopard cat in the hillside behind their school after it preyed on geese that students had been raising 1. The young pupils in Class 3 had spent 28 days incubating and caring for the white geese themselves 1. Rather than viewing the incident as a loss, teachers used it as an opportunity to help the children understand predation as a natural survival instinct for wildlife 1.

The school installed infrared cameras to observe the leopard cat's behavior around the clock, using equipment that operated silently without emitting light 1. The leopard cat is a Class II protected wild animal in China 1. The children learned that it hides during the day in tree hollows and rock crevices, emerging at night to hunt for food 1. After noticing the animal appeared to lack water, the students took initiative by digging shallow pits beneath shaded trees to provide clean drinking water for the leopard cat 1. The infrared cameras subsequently captured multiple images of the leopard cat visiting the water source to drink and play 1. Once the animal had consistent access to fresh water, it stopped approaching the area where the geese were kept, instead returning to its natural life in the forest 1.
