Chapter 16: Add a little detail!
The third section of the tour is in the form of a slit visit.
Imitation of dark earth, slightly uneven pavement, dense trees and unknown wildflowers, and the faint sound of insects and birds can be heard.
Visitors passing through this area feel as if they are walking through a secluded dense forest.
As you walk through this dense forest, you will see several large irregular rocks - actually a stone wall, but after treatment, it looks more like a stone mountain in the natural environment.
Slits are formed between the boulders, wide and narrow, horizontal and vertical, all embedded with piano lines stretched vertically and tensely.
This particular piano line is actually another form of iron railing, but much thinner and visually better.
Compared with the transparent trenches and the large glass curtain walls in the exhibition hall, the slitted visit allows visitors to sneak into the habitat where the animals live and peek into the tension and excitement of their lives.
There are walls between the three visiting points, which is also to block the view of tourists and reduce the psychological pressure of the animals.
Do some more naturalization.
For example, plant trees to block the front, or cover them with climbing vegetation such as creepers.
In short, try to minimize the traces of people in the environment.
"Whew!"
After the tourists finished visiting the noodle design, Fang Ye moved around and took a sip of water!
Suddenly, I remembered something and asked the system, "System, how will I build it when I finish designing?" ”
Is it also like a game, a void creation, built in an instant?
It's not a fantasy novel, and the appearance of a building out of thin air can be said to be a miracle, fooling the simple inhabitants of the other world.
"When building, a temporary construction team will be summoned to work like a normal construction team, but the efficiency is much faster."
"I see."
Fang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries.
It's good that the system has a solution, otherwise it's a bit of a headache to find a way to cover it up yourself.
Go ahead and focus on designing the interior of the Tiger Garden!
First, make the ground slightly undulating, a little convex here, and a little concave there, so that the terrain is closer to nature.
Next, the area in front of the glass curtain wall was selected and a large pit with an area of about 300 square meters was made in the shape of a crescent.
Fill it with water and it's a beautiful pool!
In the middle of the waterhole, several rough rocks are spliced together into a crooked "stone bridge".
The edge of the pool is shallow, which is suitable for drinking here, and the other side separated by the stone bridge is deeper and deeper the further inward, and the deepest point is nearly two meters, so you can swim and bathe.
Unlike cats, which are afraid of water, tigers are very fond of water.
During the hot season, they often soak themselves in small rivers and ponds to escape the heat.
And very good at swimming!
There has been a record of tigers swimming 29 kilometers in the river in one day.
Place the waterhole close to the glass curtain wall, where the tigers come to drink, swim and other activities, will be appreciated by tourists.
To meet the needs of tourists, it naturally reduces uncivilized behaviors such as knocking on railings and feeding.
The half-moon-shaped waterhole is turned back, and the terrain gradually rises to form a mountain bag.
In nature, when a tiger wants to patrol its territory, it will find the highest mountain and the most open view of the surrounding mountain, and look at the territory from above. This hill bag is to meet the needs of tigers overlooking the tiger park and inspecting the territory.
Nestled in the mountain bag is a simple wooden shed made of logs.
Four thick pillars, one roof cover, open on all sides.
This is to provide a shelter for the tiger in rainy weather.
One of the principles of the zoo's design is to minimize the traces of man-made structures and be close to the natural environment!
As a result, the canopy is made of unadorned logs and has a rough appearance.
Some zoos, with some exquisite pavilions and colorful water birds swimming in the lake, seem to be very beautiful and interesting.
It's called a garden, not a zoo!
A good-looking building is something that people can admire, and it is beautiful in the eyes of human beings.
Creating a landscape in this area only makes visitors look more palpable and does not have any positive impact on animal welfare.
However, the design concept of the traditional garden with winding paths is still very compatible with the zoo, and visitors cannot see other tourists between different viewing spots, so as to minimize the visual disturbance of the animals.
Then there is the perch.
The staggered perch can provide more choices for animals and improve the display and utilization of space.
For some social animals, such as macaques, perches provide an opportunity for them to express their social status.
The one in the high place is the eldest brother, and the one in the lower place is the younger brother.
By occupying different heights on the perch, it shows its status in the group. This helps to maintain the harmonious relationship of the population and also reduces the occurrence of aggressive behavior.
For cats such as tigers and leopards, staying high above the line of sight of tourists through the perch helps to relieve the pressure from the line of sight of tourists, and you can also exercise your balance by jumping and walking on the perch.
The perch is also made of dark logs. A dozen thinner logs are placed side by side, bundled and firmly erected, forming several high or low platforms. Between the platforms, one or several thicker logs are used as bridges to connect, and the "Y" shaped wooden frame is lifted.
Although artificial traces should be minimized, the natural habitat has limited functions and is not suitable for tiger parks.
For example, macaques can use trees to look at the perch, taking into account the needs of landscape and function. In fact, Stone Mountain is also another form of perch.
Fang Ye set the perch position in front of the slit viewing point. Each visit point, the angle is different, and the scenery is also different.
As for the trench visit point, he also had an idea.
The Bengal white tiger cubs will arrive in these two days, and you can make some enrichment facilities for the white tiger cubs here!
For example, plum blossom stakes made of a few dwarf logs; Waste car tires, hung with iron chains, made into swings; Put some toys like balls.
After the main content is laid out, the next step is to add a little detail.
Meadows, trees!
Considering the living environment of the tigers, Fangye chose subarctic coniferous forests and temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests.
Spruce, larch, Korean pine.
Aspen, birch, oak.
Boom.
With the different postures of the trees, thick and thin trees planted, the tiger garden suddenly looked like a shape, and it looked full of vitality.
At the bottom of the tall trees, some low shrubs and wildflowers are placed, which are scattered and uneven, enriching the scenery.
Between the cracks of several rocks in the waterhole stone bridge, several clumps of wild grass also stubbornly grow, swaying in the wind.
The clear water washed over a fallen dead tree and a stone bridge from the shallow pool, forming a short waterfall.
The water splashed, glittering white in the sunlight, and flowed into the half-moon pool.
The ripples, and the cattails scattered around the edge of the waterhole also swayed, shaking their heads.
In Plants vs. Zombies, the cat prairie type that is planted in the pool and launches the tail needle biubiu is cattail.
By the time the details were finished, it was already late at night.
"My neck is a little stiff!"
Although Fang Ye was physically tired, his spirit was extremely active and excited.
Finally, you can bring your imagination to life!
He can't wait to see the day when the Tiger Garden is finished and the Tiger moves into its new home!
