Chapter 657: Serralvo Island

Snow Mountain Zoo covers an area of 5.4 square kilometers, or 5.4 million square meters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Considering the size of the 27 low hills, there is even more than that.

Nowadays, only a small part of the land has been developed, about one-sixth of it, and the reason why such a large land is bought is to allow the animals to have enough space to roam freely.

Zebras and bison can occasionally run in the divided pastures, and tigers and lions also have special places for them to learn to hunt.

In this way, when the number of animals increases in the future and is released into the wild, those artificially bred animals can adapt well to the wild.

Han Xuan loves animals.

The reason for liking them is not innate, but mostly from the animals at home.

I have been getting along with Fat Ding and Pooh for a long time, and I feel that animals in the wild should also have a space to live, and the protection of them is far from enough.

As the masters of this planet, human beings are only lucky when they evolve, and they are not more noble than them.

If you think about the number of humans on the planet, there are actually some rare animal lives that are more precious.

Dinosaurs are remembered because they are extinct, while sawfish, dragonfish, octocks, sturgeon, etc., which were contemporaneous with dinosaurs, are not well known and are still hunting and killing.

Platypus, thorny anteaters, and one of the few echidnas also survived at the same time as the dinosaurs.

The number of species that have survived from ancient times to the present day is huge, and it is detailed below. I'm afraid a whole textbook is needed.

Many of these animals are almost indistinguishable from their Mesozoic ancestors.

After hundreds of millions of years on Earth, some even more than 200 million years, some of these species are now facing extinction due to human activities, which is really not a good thing.

Han Xuan felt that he should do something, so he took over the zoo that was about to close down, and also set up a strange charity fund dedicated to protecting animals, rather than saving poor humans, with the slogan:

“nobusiness,nokilled。 ”

(No Sale, No Killing)

......

Little Barry really hates water, and he hates it so much that his face wrinkles.

The panda, which was once used as food by hunters, fell into the 20th century, an era of eating with its face, and life was suddenly better.

Ava and another beautiful nurse carefully rinsed it with warm water, while the baby panda kept stirring, rejecting this enviable enjoyment.

Accidentally made a lot of bubbles out of the pure plant shower gel in the basin.

When the clever little Barry found this, his small eyes were the size of a mung bean, and they were almost indistinguishable from when they hadn't.

It was stunned for a moment, exhaled, blew into the bubbles on its paws, and saw transparent foam flying, and immediately played happily.

Inhale and bulge into a bun face...... Blow...... Blow ...... again Take a few deep breaths when hypoxic.

"The vast majority of mammals can only distinguish black, white, and gray, such as cats, dogs, cows, sheep, etc., and pandas are the same.

Don't look at it, but all you can see is a gray circle, and you can't see the color of the bubbles. ”

Han Xuan was bathing Cody and Babu, and found that there were many bubbles blowing out of the little bar, shining with colorful light under the sun's rays, and turned his head to Anya who was helping next to him and said, "So no matter what color cloth the matador takes, the cow will be angry."

It was the noisy voices of the audience that fueled their anger, not the red cloth in the matador's hand. ”

"Primates can generally distinguish colors, but their vision is not as sharp as that of humans.

For example, the injured little guy in the cage usually hates orange and red the most, and he gets angry when he sees it. ”

Ava lifted Barry out of the water, put it in a dry cloth and wiped it, and pointed to a glass case in the corner of the wall covered with a black cloth.

This is a nursery room, and animal cubs are easy to get hurt when they are locked up with their parents, so the young animal cubs will be taken care of by the staff.

Let them meet their mothers once in a while, and get acquainted with each other's smells and appearances, so that they will not become strangers.

"Is this orangutan injured?"

Han Xuan wiped his hands and walked over to lift the black cloth, and inside was a sleeping monkey.

The foot was wrapped in plaster, and since it had its back to Han Xuan and its fur was black, it was habitually thought that it was an orangutan.

Old Director Gilles shook his head: "It's not an orangutan, it's a silverback gorilla."

A zoologist who had a contract with our zoo brought back from Gabon, Africa, was poached and killed by his mother and discarded the cub.

When it was discovered, it had a comminuted fracture of the lower leg and could not be operated on locally, so it was brought back to the United States.

It is still in danger and may become disabled in the future, and the community will no longer accept it, so it can only stay in the zoo. ”

When the injured cub turned around, Han Xuan realized that it was different from ordinary orangutans.

The strange appearance is really ugly, Han Xuan likes beautiful animals, the appearance of this silverback gorilla cub is really not in line with his aesthetics, and the taste is not very good.

Old Giles took a bottle containing half a bottle of milk, unscrewed the lid, added some hot water to it, tested the temperature with his hands, handed it to Han Xuan, and said, "Hand it from that hole, after I taught it a few times, it will already eat."

Don't put your hand in it, this guy is only a few months old and has a very fierce personality.

Silverback gorillas are social animals, and I wonder if I should bring in a few from other zoos, otherwise I won't be able to live without adult gorillas to teach them.

Their survival skills are taught from generation to generation, just like people. ”

Han Xuan thinks that the purchase of animals contradicts his sentence "no trading, no killing", and is slightly suspected of being slapped in the face.

Considering the armed secession, unrest and high numbers of poachers in Gabon, Africa.

Coupled with man-made exploitation, it has caused serious damage to the living environment of local mountain gorillas.

In the future, this rare animal may become extinct because of this, and he said: "Then buy a few, pick a younger one, you can breed."

I wonder if I should buy a national park reserve dedicated to releasing these animals, so that after a few generations of reproduction, they may adapt to the local climate and develop naturally......

"Will you feed it? Ramirez took the bottle from Han Xuan's hand, and as soon as it was stuffed through the round hole in the glass, the gorilla cub couldn't wait to drink it, biting too hard, drinking half and leaking half.

Old Giles asked in confusion: "Can the United States still allow the purchase of national parks?"

"I just had this idea, and it could be an island.

For example, the deserted island 30 kilometers off the coast of Mexico, Seralvo Island.

It covers an area of 155 square kilometers and has a warm climate that is suitable for many species of animals, and no one disturbs them and does not affect the ecology of the land.

I've read in the newspapers that the Mexican government recently had the idea of selling it freehold, and it's now cheap, about $75 million.

At present, the Mexican government is short of money, and it should be cheaper......" (To be continued.) )
