"The Pondegaard Bird Park is an entrance fee park in the Camargue Wetland Reserve, where there are a large number of flamingos and other wild birds, and there are walking trails and birdwatching shelters that you can choose from," said Professor Abner. ”

"The geographical location of the Camargue wetland is destined to have a warm and humid climate here, so it attracts nearly hundreds of species to migrate from all over the year round, just like the large number of flamingos we just saw, flocks of flocks fall on the grass, leisurely enjoy the sun, chase and play by the river, the natural landscape here also attracts a large number of tourists to watch, for a long time these flamingos are not afraid of humans, as long as they do not go over to disturb and hurt them, they will not be frightened and fly away. ”

"It is also very beautiful for man and nature to live in harmony, so we have to protect these animals, animals are good friends of human beings, human beings have destroyed a lot of natural environment in order to develop industry, but human beings now also attach importance to protecting the environment, knowing that human beings are also an animal, but we are advanced animals. ”

"Although human beings are at the highest end of the animal chain, the upper food chain, we humans are not destroying all species, human beings are becoming more and more aware of the importance of protecting the natural environment, and human beings also live in the natural environment and live together with those animals. Generations have been reproduced, some species have survived for thousands of years, their history is not shorter than that of humans, and there are many unknown species, and human beings are constantly understanding, broadening our horizons, and supplementing our human knowledge base. ”

"In the past, human beings destroyed the environment for their own survival, so that some rare species became extinct, and some species were gradually reduced because of human hunting. ”

"In Europe, animal protection and environmental protection are still very important, animal protection organizations and environmental protection organizations have set up conservation associations, and strive to change this situation, not to let these animals be harmed, to provide them with a living environment, so that they can live happily with us humans on the earth. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, what a beautiful wish, the natural environment here is indeed well protected, and the flamingos are indeed beautiful!"

"The vast marshes and meadows here are home to hundreds of species of wildlife, and thousands of species of herbaceous plants thrive here. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang also admired, "There are endless salt pans here, with herds of white horses and black bison. ”

Qu Lihua was very curious, pointed to the white horse of the Camargue not far away and asked, "Professor Abner, what kind of horse is that?"

"That's the Camargue white horses, you see they're very strong, they're all white, they have a white mane, they're got a long tail, it's an ancient horse breed that got its name from the Camargue that lives in the south of France. ”

"Oh, this kind of horse, I think I've seen it on TV before, and when the French hold a celebration, they like to use a white horse to take the lead!"

Xia Yuxiang said: "Yes, the French celebration ceremony is still very particular, that are all trained horses, is domesticated by humans for a long time, the horse is really very spiritual, people raise it for a long time, it will restrain its wildness, listen to people's commands, but also let people ride, the horse is best at running, riding horses and whips, that is really a very happy thing, there is a chance, you can experience horseback riding." ”

The Camargue white horses galloping on the water is a common romantic sight in this area, and many Camargue white horses fly up their hooves and run forward together, and the hooves of the horses fall on the water, raising a splash.

Qu Lihua watched from afar, and she was also very excited.

She asked Professor Abner, "Are these horses born white?"

Professor Abner shook his head, "No, some of the Camagma are gray, and when they are born, their hair is black or some other color, and when they are adults, they are completely white. ”

"What is the reason for this?"

Professor Abner shook his head, "The reason is unknown, maybe this is the genes of this horse, some species will metamorphose in color when they are young and adult, and the metamorphosis is to better adapt to the external environment." ”

Meng Wenjie asked: "This kind of horse is still a little different from the tall brown horse I saw on TV in the French celebrations, Professor Abner told us more about its height and weight." ”

Professor Abner nodded, "Okay, the Camargue horses are smaller breeds of horses, with a height of 135-150 centimeters at the shoulders and a weight of 350-500 kilograms. ”

"In order to ensure the purity of the breed, the French government began to establish mating standards and registration numbers in 1976, and in 1978 introduced a register of good breeds, foals must be born outdoors and must be breastfed to ensure the purity of the breed. ”

"Wow, this treatment is so good, I really envy these horses, they can be free here, and live so well. Meng Wenjie said.

Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Let's go, since we are here, let's enjoy it, there are horse trainers here, they are holding the horse rope, let's go to experience it, take everyone to ride a horse, I believe that everyone works every day in the big city by taking the subway or driving by themselves, there are few opportunities to ride horses, the opportunity is rare and cannot be missed!"

Everyone laughed, and followed the head of Xia Yuxiang to the back to find the horse trainer, the horse trainer was a handsome young man from France, he looked very handsome, he wore a baseball cap, and politely explained to everyone some preparations before riding, and asked the staff to each issue a helmet to prevent accidentally falling down.

Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie carefully put on a helmet, and the horse trainer told everyone that wearing a helmet is to better protect everyone's safety, because many tourists who come here are from big cities, have lived in modern life for a long time, and are used to seeing high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete modern people, few people have ridden horses, and some do not know how to ride horses at all.

In order to prevent accidentally falling off the horse and causing head injuries, the horse trainer will let the tourists wear a helmet in advance, and then each horse has a staff member to help pull the horse rope, help the tourists on the horse, and then pull the horse rope, take the tourists out for a ride, in the short term want to learn to ride a horse, it is difficult to have good skills, but also to cultivate a relationship with the horse, the horse accepts you, it also takes a while.

Can't be in a hurry, so the staff pulls the horse rope and lets the tourists sit on the back of the horse and go out for a ride, that is, to experience it.

Qu Lihua wears a hard hat and is very happy to sit on the Camargue horse, she rarely has the opportunity to ride a horse in China, the feeling of sitting on horseback is really different from sitting in the car, everything feels new to her.

Everyone laughed, the Camagma was pulled by the staff, very obedient, carrying the tourists out, and the smiling faces of the tourists illuminated by the warm sun outside came from time to time.
