Chapter 87: The Hot Springs of the Black-Booted Tortoise
Wolves, alpacas......
When visiting the wolf house, Ying Ying clamored that wolves eating Little Red Riding Hood were bad guys, don't look at wolves, so the family took a casual look and left.
In fact, Black Tan and Xiaoyu are still very good-looking, but the simple cage environment does not reflect the attractiveness, otherwise it may be able to reverse Yingying's bad impression of wolves.
Liu Xueqing said thoughtfully to Yingying's father: "This environment is different. The front feels very fun, and an animal can look good for a long time. I feel that if the tiger hadn't been accompanied by their director, it might have just looked at it and left. ”
Yingying's father said: "I still like their tigers." On the way, I saw that they were repairing the exhibition hall, the area looked quite large, I just asked their breeder, and said that the tiger hall and the wolf hall are being built, and the tiger hall will be open next week! ”
Liu Xueqing covered her mouth and laughed: "Great, don't worry about bringing Yingying out to play in the future!" It's a pity that there are still fewer animals, if only more animals could be introduced. ”
In the end, Yingying fed a small piece of radish to the alpaca, and the family went back with wonderful photos and happiness after visiting.
……
At the end of the day, Fang Ye was also very happy!
[Attack on the Zoo 3] requires visitors to marvel at the animals, and now the progress has become 7000/30000.
There are many people on weekends, and the most important thing is inseparable from the performance of the animals, such as the peacock opening the screen, the red panda taking apples, the macaques climbing and jumping nimblely, and giving Jiaojiao a massage, all of which amaze tourists!
If this continues, the donation box will be available soon.
As soon as the weekend passed, it was not so lively, and it was a lot more deserted.
Just enough time to do something else.
Fang Ye first went to look at the black-booted tortoise Xiao Hei, and after feeding it the worm pills, the parasites in his body were expelled in the past two days, and he looked a little sluggish, but it was a good thing! After a period of recuperation, you will be back to a healthier and more energetic state than before.
Now I will take a bath for him every day, put a layer of warm water, move the bath to the sun and let it soak in warm water while basking in the sun, and move back when it is almost sunburned.
After taking a look at the Green Leaf Coins, the arrival of the Macaw and the Black-Booted Tortoise is +5w Green Leaf Coins, the first two missions of the Attack series are +2k, and the Pavilion quest of the Red Panda Pavilion is +1k, and now there is 5w3.
It's too far to build a tropical bird pavilion, so let's build an exhibition hall for turtles and turtles first.
First, consider the location.
Now in the planning of the zoo, the front section of the park is the theme of the elves in the forest, including the tropical rainforest bird house, the red panda hall, the red fox, the macaque, etc., and the macaques can extend the theme of the monkey world.
The middle section is the predator promenade, including the Tiger Pavilion and the Wolf Pavilion, and the Tiger Pavilion can extend the feline theme.
In the latter part of the year, there are only cages for wolves that have not yet been moved, and small pastures on the tails are reserved for new animals if they are empty.
Now that the reptile black-booted tortoise is here, you can introduce some crocodiles, lizards, snakes and other animals in the future to form a reptilian theme exhibition area!
After the zoo expands, one ring line is not enough, you have to put a big ring and a small ring, what African theme, polar theme, marine theme......
Only children do multiple-choice questions, and adults naturally want them all!
Don't want to leave for ten days and ten nights.
Fang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of this, he was so shocked by his laughter that he came back to his senses, and almost forgot that he was designing an exhibition hall for turtles!
The area of the exhibition area does not need to be very large, three or four hundred square meters are enough, and the turtle and turtle climb slowly in it, and it will take a long time to climb from one end to the other.
First of all, the land outside, not flat, should be uneven and have certain potholes, so as to be closer to the original environment of turtles. The undulations don't need to be too big, about the same as the speed bumps on the road.
The texture of the soil should be soft, and a thick layer of soft dead leaves will make it more comfortable for turtles to climb on it.
For reptiles, the most important elements are three elements: temperature, light, and humidity!
There should be a gradient in temperature, take the desert iguana living in the arid desert as an example, although it is very resistant to high temperatures, the limit body temperature can reach 47 degrees, or even 49 degrees, but if it is scorched to the limit by high temperatures all day, it will definitely die!
Reptiles do not have the ability to heat themselves, and they need to absorb the heat of the sun to raise their body temperature to maintain their own activities, otherwise they will become sluggish and have no vitality.
Put it in the display box, maybe the average temperature of the display box is 28-32 degrees, there is a heating point, so that the heat needs to go to the high temperature area of more than 40 degrees nearby, and if you feel that it is too hot, you will go to the low temperature area of 20 degrees in the distance, and if you feel comfortable at about 30 degrees, you will stay in the middle temperature area, and provide different temperature zones for it to choose independently according to the needs of the body.
It's actually quite easy to create a temperature gradient for the black-booted tortoise's exhibit.
The first is an area where there is no shade from trees and the sun is shining, and in order for the turtle to fully enjoy the sun, you can also put one or two flat rocks that slope and slightly protrude from the ground.
Then plant tropical trees such as palms and plantains, and shrubs such as ferns and monstera to provide shade and enrich the environment. The temperature in the shade of the trees is naturally lower.
Don't plant too many trees, spread them out one by one, and the shade of the trees can cover a small half of the exhibition area. Otherwise, the turtle will not be able to bask in the sun, and the tourists' vision will be blocked by the dense trees, and it will not be convenient to enjoy the turtle and turtle.
Light is not only warm, but also the ultraviolet rays, which many vertebrates absorb through their skin as a catalyst for vitamin D synthesis. Even if there is enough calcium in the feed, it cannot be absorbed without vitamin D. For diurnal reptiles, it is necessary to be exposed to the sun or ultraviolet UVB lamps, otherwise they will suffer from metabolic bone disease.
Black-booted tortoises love warm, humid environments! The pool is a must, in the middle of the exhibition area put a field pool of about 70 square meters, irregular shape, looks very natural, the edge and bottom are paved with stones to facilitate cleaning and water exchange, and there are no artificial traces when the water is gone. A few more large rocks are placed on the edge to add interest.
It cannot be completely immersed in water, and the suitable water depth is one-third of the height of the tortoise's dorsal carapace. So the pool is very shallow, and when you go in, the bottom of your limbs is just submerged in the water, and the carapace head is exposed. Warm baths can stimulate tortoises to defecate and can greatly reduce the chance of urinary stones in tortoises.
There should be a heating plate at the bottom of the pool, and after changing the new water, it should be heated to a suitable temperature before the turtle bathes, and the cold water will get sick when bathing. In summer, if the weather is hot, you don't need to heat it, and if it's too hot, it becomes a stewed turtle soup. When the weather turns cooler and the temperature is low, it will be turned on and kept hot.
Half of the pool is exposed to the sun, and half is shaded by palm trees, and it's a bit like a sun umbrella on the edge of a hot spring bath, and turtles are sure to enjoy soaking in it.
The sand near the pool should not be foliage, and the leaves should be spread in the surrounding areas where the sun shines, otherwise it will be inconvenient to clean.
In this way, the temperature gradient in the exhibition area comes out, and the sun directly shines on the deciduous sand, waterside and pool without shade, and the sandy soil with shade, the water's edge and pool, where it is comfortable to go.
The periphery is surrounded by stones and wooden fences, the environment in the exhibition area is much more comfortable than the outside, and the turtles move slowly, even if there are no obstacles, they are not interested in climbing out, and the main function of the fence is to stop tourists from entering casually.
It only takes 1w5 green leaf coins to build, which is cheap! There is nothing very complicated, and it should be built quite quickly, and it can be built in a week or two at the speed of the system construction team.
