Chapter 458: People Are Not as Good as Bears
The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.
It's just that the peach blossoms of Dalin Temple, which was written into the poem by Bai Juyi, grow in the Dalin Peak of Lushan Mountain, which is much more south than the Qinling Mountains in latitude, plus the non-synchronization of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, so although the current date is indeed April, there are not many peach blossoms in the mountain temple that can be seen as far as the eye can see, but the dry grass on the ground near last year and the unmelted snow on the mountains in the distance are more eye-catching.
"Funny, isn't it? I'm really here to protect pandas!"
Looking at the cute white gate of the "Qinling Panda Valley" not far away, Atletico turned his head and said to his wife next to him.
The day before yesterday, Atletico and his party finally arrived at their hometown in Pingxian, and then they were overwhelmed by people who came to visit relatives and pull relationships. finally survived the Qingming Festival, and after going to the grave of my father, the two of them left the four little ones and drove hundreds of miles to Qinling Mountain. Anyway, they came out this time with a complete nanny team, and Tang Jiayi, the mother, would not be hungry for those four snacks.
"Actually, it's good, let those people say if they like to talk!" Tang Jiayi comforted.
Because the panda valley in which the two of them participated in the investment has received a lot of media attention recently, Fengzhou magazine published a report called "Qinling Giant Panda Conservation Chaos" a few months ago. Scandals such as "illegal rescue of wild pandas", "wild into a virtual cat show to promote tourism", and "tourism development infringes on the living space of pandas" and other scandals, and Atletico Madrid also contributed a scandal, that is, "pandas are fake, and the pandas on display are robot cats".
Naturally, Atletico Madrid, as the owner of the investors, was also criticized and satirized. However, at that time, Ms. Tang was waiting for childbirth at home, and Mr. Ma took a long vacation to accompany him at home, and did not respond much, and as a result, the matter passed after a period of noisy and shouting, and it was not as playful as the Crimeans, and dominated the international headlines for a long time......
Located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, Foping County is a typical small mountainous county, with a population of only 30,000 and nearly half of them living in the county, and a considerable part of the county is divided into protected areas of various levels. Traditionally, this kind of place has relied on the mountains and water to eat the water, but before the 98 flood, Foping had developed forestry, but now it has shifted to a more sustainable form of understory economy, pig cultivation, cultivation of mushrooms, beekeeping, and the development of tourism.
Although the two are from Guanzhong, Foping is the boundary of southern Shaanxi, but in the whole country, it is still the old Shaanxi Township Party, so the local determination to develop panda tourism, the establishment of Panda Valley attractions is easy to think of the pair that has been in the limelight in recent years. Out of the psychology of returning to their hometown, the two did not refuse, and paid the money very happily. Of course, this is also because the other party wants to build a panda park, if it is the Qinling Golden Retriever Twisted Horn Antelope, Boss Ma will not have that mind, after all, the cows and horses are not compatible!
One of the funniest facts is that although the land under your feet is known as the Panda Valley, there is only one panda that really lives in the "Valley", and along the way, blue-faced and golden-retrieved cigarettes appear from time to time, squatting on the trees to watch them.
Although neither of them smoked, but the two of them grew up seeing the image of the golden monkey the most on the cigarette case, and it is difficult not to associate them with filter cigarettes, just like seeing a raccoon will definitely think of crispy noodles.
Foping County is known as the hometown of pandas, and the density of giant pandas in the county is the highest in the world, but these more than 200 Qinling giant pandas are all wild and free to move in the national panda reserve, which has nothing to do with the county. They set up this panda valley in the name of the giant panda rewilding training center, and then borrowed pandas from the provincial wildlife breeding research center, which has the largest number of giant pandas in captivity, for a daily performance called rewilding training, which is actually an apple fishing panda daily show to attract tourists.
However, there are also difficulties in the wild breeding center, because they don't have many cat mouths there. Even if they cooperate with the thriving Shudu base on the other side of the mountain, let the pandas on both sides cross and breed the next generation, but the artificial breeding results are not good, and the wild breeding center has to go up the mountain to "rescue" some wild pandas to come back to raise and retain seeds, fill the cat's mouth, Foping Panda Valley here naturally even three or two big cats and kittens can not be ensured.
This is also the reason why they are happy to accept the investment of the Atletico couple, the Sanshaanxiang Party is a reason, but more importantly, they can provide a real robot cat that can effectively enrich their cast. And the actual situation is the same, although it was exposed, it was revealed that all the "robot cats" on display here were there, but after that, the popularity of Panda Valley not only did not deteriorate, but increased a lot!
No way, although the national treasure giant panda looks naïve, can stand on both feet and grasp with both palms, and the two dark circles with a round head and round face and round ears are also cute, but the real panda actually doesn't look spicy and good-looking in the photo, first of all, the panda's coat color, not the legend of the "color photo into black and white" The whole body is black and white and black and white, and the adult panda looks actually yellow because of the oily body hair, especially the bear butt that often sits on the ground is eye-catching and conspicuous brown and yellow. Whether it is captive or wild pandas, there will be some brown and yellow coat color on their bodies when they become adults, and only the cubs appear more "white" because their body hair is still growing rapidly, but that is actually unsound and unhealthy.
Secondly, because the staple food is bamboo, which is tough and difficult to chew and indigest, and there is not much nutrition after digestion, the daily behavior of pandas is almost occupied by three things: eat when you wake up, pull and pull when you are tired, and sleep when you are tired.
In this way, it is not surprising that the bionic panda robots produced by bees will be favored by tourists, they are whiter and do not, they are lively and active, and they are not afraid of people.
Although the giant panda is a herbivore, its body is the foundation of a large carnivore, and although it has evolved a mouthful with a strong bite and a tough esophagus that is not afraid of bamboo thorns, it does not have an extra-long intestine and a plural stomach like a cow or sheep.
Cattle and sheep these ruminants have four stomachs, namely rumen, net stomach (honeycomb stomach), valve stomach (double stomach stomach) and wrinkled stomach, the last of which has a digestive gland, so it is also called the true stomach, the stomach tumor volume of cattle and sheep is huge, the rumen of adult cows can hold 136 kg of forage, and adult sheep can also hold 20 kg of forage. This is also determined by its positioning as a large herbivore, as soon as they find a place with abundant aquatic plants, they will eat a lot, and when they are full, they will quickly leave to hide, and then slowly "aftertaste" chew (ruminate), and re-chew the grass that is soaked in gastric juice, so that the symbiotic bacteria in the gastric juice can better mix with plant detritus, helping them to break down indigestible cellulose into easily absorbed fatty acids, which are then absorbed by the intestines of cattle and sheep.
Although giant pandas also have symbiotic bacteria that can help them decompose and digest bamboo fiber, and studies have confirmed that the ability of panda feces bacteria to digest cellulose is very strong, and this ability to "turn grass into sugar" is expected to become an important source of environmentally friendly biofuels in the future, but for giant pandas, its predator stomach obviously drags down the digestion of symbiotic bacteria, and the reaction time is not enough to decompose all cellulose, and studies have shown that 80% of panda feces The ingredient is still undigested bamboo, which can be used to make paper and handicrafts, and can also be used for fertilization and tea, and it is a noble panda tea.
However, someone has his own opinion about panda droppings.
"In fact, pandas, as herbivores, should learn like other herbivores, look at people's cattle, sheep and grass mud horses, specially evolved the rumen of the biological fermenter to hold forage, and when you are free, you have to regurgitate the aftertaste, chew and mix, and wait until the symbiotic bacteria decompose and digest the ground is almost before letting the forage go down, and use the intestines to smoothly absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, oh no, it is sugars and fatty acids ......"
"So what do you want to say?"
Pointing to the clumps of green poop on the ground, Atletico whispered, "I mean, since the panda's intestines are so short that the food is completely excreted from the body before it can be digested, and it becomes poop, why don't you learn from rabbits?"
"Ma is cheap!" Tang Jiayi gritted her teeth and roared, and then pulled Atletico away before the people around her could react. Although both of them wear sunglasses to cover their faces, it is April now, or the beginning of April in the mountains, and it is even more attractive to come out wearing sunglasses in such a cool season.
When she ran to the fork in the road to avoid the crowd, Tang Jiayi said: "When you become a panda in your next life, you can learn how to eat rabbits and what to eat!"
After saying that, she was also laughed angrily, and her cheeks trembled.
Also herbivores, rabbits also do not have ruminant ruminants, and also rely on the intestinal symbiotic flora to help digest fiber, and then they develop the habit of eating their own feces. Rabbit feces are dark and granular, there are two kinds of hard stools and soft stools, and rabbits will take the initiative to eat the soft stools back, because they contain intestinal symbiotic bacteria and undigested nutrients, which cannot be wasted casually.
Therefore, Ma someone's "suggestion" is that pandas should develop the habit of eating their own feces, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of bamboo nutrition.
Of course, this is just someone's boring ridicule, food habits are written into genes and determined by the body structure, living environment, symbiotic organisms, etc., how can you think of a single out?
For example, the ancestors of the giant panda were meat-eating bears, and they began to eat cold-resistant evergreen bamboo during the ice age millions of years ago, so they survived in the ice and snow of the ice age, but when the glacier receded, the animals and plants returned, they had become vegetarians, and they did not eat bamboo, and they did not become "fake" like rats that feed on vegetative parts such as plant fruits and roots Herbivores have not resumed their meat-based diet, although they also eat apples and bamboo rats, but they are snacks and occasionally eat to change the taste, and the favorite is still a limited number of bamboos such as wood, bamboo, arrows, bamboo, thunder bamboo, etc.
Even if the captive giant panda favorite food so-called "panda nest", this mixed corn, soybean, oat, walnut powder and other steamed food can only be used as supplementary food, and can not replace 30 catties of bamboo every day, and there have been many pandas because of eating the nest head caused by sudden intestinal obstruction, fortunately the unlucky child Fuzhou No. 4 has recovered after emergency surgery, otherwise there will be trouble.
There are fewer than 2,000 pandas in the world, each of which is a valuable national property, and the complexity of the process of investigating panda deaths is comparable to that of humans, if not surpassed. Not only is it necessary to conduct an autopsy to determine whether he killed or killed him, but the thickness of the death report should also be much thicker, and the death of each panda will be on the news, and the key is that the death compensation is also much more expensive.
For example, the giant panda "Xingxing" (whose real name is Long Long) died unexpectedly due to the "death of the exhausted bear" four years ago, the zoo owner Kobe Prince Zoo needs to compensate him with 500,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to the "salary" of his part-time job for a year. The official statement is that the two sides are cooperating in research, and the Chinese side lends a pair of pandas, and the Japanese side gives 1 million US dollars a year.
In fact, Long Long did not die of an overdose of "exhaustion of bears", but of an overdose of anesthesia. As a large animal, it is necessary to perform general anesthesia before any examination and surgery, and in this case, there may be problems of overdose of anesthesia and suppression of the nervous system, resulting in the inability to wake up. To this day, even the problem of overdose and failure of human anesthesia has not been completely solved, let alone pandas, which are seriously undersampled.
Panda breeding is very difficult, wild giant pandas start breeding in the spring of 345 months every year, and the adult male pandas in the vicinity can smell the smell of the fully developed female panda, and then track them down, first fight each to determine the strongest one, and then have to let the female bear look right to form a pair. After mating, the male panda leaves, and the female panda gives birth to tender and tender cubs after 5 months of gestation, and these little ones have to stay with the mother panda for several months before they start to live independently. Therefore, wild female pandas can only produce four or five offspring in a lifetime, and although captive pandas do not worry about food and natural enemies, they can survive, but there is a big problem of "face control".
The reason why Kobe wants to artificially extract sperm from the panda is naturally because the organization arranged for "Long Long"'s wife "Dandan" (real name Shuangshuang) and it cannot mate naturally without calling. Previously, the park had operated artificial insemination on the two of them in 08 and successfully gave birth, but the baby died three days later.
Obviously, Shuangshuang, who went to Japan to work, is not a panda hero mother like the mother and daughter of "Qingqing Yaya", these two have maintained a birth record of 9 children and 13 children, of course, the difficulty of blind dates overseas is also the reason.
"Fortunately, the country has money now, and there is no need for pandas to run around to work. ”
However, Atletico completely forgot when he said this, this panda is actually a working bear, but the labor export location has become domestic and provincial. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
