It will be on the shelves at 12 noon, and the time may be a little delayed, but it will be sent anyway.
It's finally time to hit the shelves, so let's say something sincerely.
As I said before, the zoo was watching the video of the Crimean safari at station b at that time and thought it was good, and then I liked animals more, so I started to write about this subject.
However, I haven't been to the zoo much at all, the last time I went to Beijing when I was in elementary school, I went to the Beijing Zoo with my mother, my uncle, and who else went to the Beijing Zoo, and the aquarium seemed to have to buy another ticket, and I can't remember what I went to see after so many years.
Because I didn't have the experience of being a keeper or volunteer in a zoo, and my profession had nothing to do with animals, I encountered a lot of problems when I actually wrote it.
Like writing about a tiger, how long does this tiger get, how much does it weigh, how much meat does it eat in a day, how high it can jump, and whether its tongue can lick people, these things that seem to be mentioned in the book are actually worth investigating.
Go to Baidu Encyclopedia to check, that Baidu Encyclopedia everyone also knows, very unreliable, at the beginning it was written that the Siberian tiger is 300 kilograms, I think it's a bit big, before I sent the book to a friend who knows a little bit about animals, he said that your 300 kilograms are unreliable, and the 300 kilograms in the zoo are all fat tigers, so quickly accept it humbly, and take a 200 kilogram down.
When I look at this entry now, 300 kilograms has already been changed, I looked at the edit record of the entry, good guys, people are changing it every day.
So now when I look up information, I use Baidu + Wiki together, but Wikipedia may sometimes fluctuate on the network because of some reasons that everyone understands.
Including going to some foreign zoo websites to check information, anyway, it's quite laborious.
Later, someone put forward an opinion, saying that your 200 kilograms are not reliable, the male tiger may be 200 kilograms, how can you female tiger be so strong, I hurried to check, go to the tiger bar to find the data listed by someone, now the weight of the Siberian tiger in captivity in the zoo, the average female tiger is 170 kilograms.
I originally wanted to change it to 170 kilograms, but when I wrote that people put forward opinions, I already have more understanding, the weight of tigers of different ages is not the same, the weight of tigers in winter and summer will fluctuate, and in autumn in order to store energy for themselves to survive the winter, they will eat more, fat in autumn and winter, and may be thinner in summer, so when I go to the zoo and see that the tiger is thin, it is not that I have not fed the tiger, and people are indeed thinner in summer.
So after thinking about it, I'm not very sure, so I just left 170 kg vague and didn't write.
Another reader asked a question about the tiger's jumping ability, saying that your jump of 2-3 meters is unreliable, and the tiger can jump 10 meters high.
I was surprised to wake up and see this comment, although I instinctively felt that it was not very reliable, because when I wrote about the construction of the tiger pavilion, this data was also based on the standard of the construction of the zoo tiger pavilion on the "Illustrated Zoo Design", so there should be no problem.
But we really don't know much about animals, maybe there are really tigers that can jump, if the tiger jumps 10 meters high, then the tiger hall ditch barrier is 5 meters deep is indeed a problem.
So I went to check, and after checking for a long time, I didn't find that there was a 10-meter jump, but I did find a specific example, the tiger in the San Francisco Zoo hurt people, and the purebred female Siberian tiger ran at the bottom of the trench and jumped over the 3.88-meter-high wall, which should be more extreme. In order to prevent the tiger from climbing over again, the zoo raised the barrier to 5.79 meters for safety reasons.
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, scared me to death, it seems that it should be right to run and jump 2-3 meters in place, and there is no problem with writing a trench barrier 5 meters high, and the bottom of my tiger pavilion trench is still V-shaped inclined downward, paved with stones, and it is not ideal to run.
This kind of process of checking information runs through the entire writing process, writing about tiger cubs, what to feed cubs, how tiger cubs will behave at different stages, when they can run, jump and eat meat, and I turned over three papers on tiger parenting, including finding some videos of feeding and feeding tigers, and I had a little understanding.
When writing the introduction to the white tiger, is the white tiger a tiger with albinism, or a tiger with genetic mutation, is it a thing? What is the difference between a white tiger and an albinistic tiger? What about the Golden Tiger and the Snow Tiger? Can only a white tiger give birth to a golden tiger and a snow tiger? Why is that?
It's a bit difficult to write if you don't understand, and you can't just talk nonsense, what should I do if I make a mistake.
Ask the bigwigs, some people said which two gene loci are mutated, I just studied this problem before, and I enthusiastically helped find two English papers, I didn't download it...... It's enough to read Chinese papers, and I also read English papers, I don't learn English well, it seems too hard......
Chapter 13 The child asked about the role of the fox's tail, and the protagonist gave an answer, and someone commented that this was the logic of adult thinking to transmit knowledge to children, and I was startled, and I felt that the protagonist didn't say anything difficult and obscure, and it should be no problem for the child to ask this question for her to answer like this, but for the sake of safety, I quickly flipped through the zoo conservation education, to see if there was anything beyond the program, and by the way, I consulted a docent friend of mine, and he said that there is no problem with who is lifting the bar (crossed out), Children's knowledge is beyond the imagination of many adults, and this is a long sigh of relief.
Write about the black-booted tortoise, this stuff is less and more unpopular, when I was writing, I saw a news that someone picked up a black-booted tortoise at the train station and handed it over to the Yunnan Wildlife Park, and then weighed 25 pounds or how much, the staff said that this is more than 20 years old.
But this is not right with the information checked on the encyclopedia, people say that it can grow to 50 pounds, and there is a problem, this black-booted tortoise is not considered an adult in its 20s, how long does it take for this turtle to grow to adulthood, how many catties does 50 cm weigh?
I went to find and ask about a raised, oh, 50 pounds should be 50 centimeters, and you can really grow so big in your 20s, so you will have the confidence to write these data.
So it should be the reporter who wrote this news that there is a problem, and it can't be that he is only in his 20s, and I guess it may be that the black-booted tortoise and the brown-booted tortoise are confused.
It's also impossible to appear in the seaside of the sea, although the beach is elevated, and the black-booted tortoise is not distributed by the sea, so the protagonist will guess that someone released it, giving a reasonable reason.
Speaking of crows, the geographical location of the sea is definitely there magpies, but I don't know if there are crows, I went through the bird manual, nature notes and other information, such as whether there are crows in the real city corresponding to the approximate area of the virtual location, and what kind of crow is there to write that the crow appears in this place, otherwise the one who holds the tail of the red panda and the apple is the magpie. Magpies and crows are actually the same cheap.
When I was writing a macaque, I just got stuck on the keyboard, what is the situation of this monkey's community structure? Can this monkey king be a female monkey? Except for the monkey king who has a wife, can other monkeys have a wife?
In the process of writing down the problem and looking for information, one day I suddenly saw this content in an article on the public account, and the introduction information was selected from the ape's family book, so I quickly bought one, but there are only a few pages in the book that introduce this part.
After reading it, I finally figured out a little bit about the community relationship of the macaque, it turns out that this macaque is a matriarchal society, and the rights of the female monkey are quite large, and the male monkey is not only a strong monkey to go, but also the princeling and the seniority party under captive conditions.
Writing about monkey fighting, what was the situation when this fight happened? If I were to write a monkey staring, would it look like this? Looking for a long time to find an article "Research on the Facial Expressions of Macaques in Taihang Mountain with Competitive Behavior", which is written in more detail, and this time I finally have some confidence to write monkey fights.
However, with the release of the book, the writing is becoming more and more intense, and some details may not have so much time to find papers for verification, so we can only try to ensure that there are not too many problems, at least the more basic questions such as how long the red panda's tail is and what to eat will not be mistaken.
By the way, I'll read the basic comments.,In the animal area, there are actually very few places to modify the problem at present.,The main thing is to write the weight of the tiger at the beginning.,There are also some problems with the tiger's relatively detailed behavior and cages.。 emmm, there are always people who say so well that they scare me into being a half-ass...... If you don't understand or are unsure, let's use a question sentence.
I'll attach a few photos for you to see, I've bought more than 50 books to write this book, ranging from zoo design, animal behavior management, animal feed, animal rescue, animal protection, zoo conservation education, zoo introduction, to animal encyclopedia, animal behavior, specific talk about a certain category, a certain animal, a certain area of nature notes, and so on.
A lot of the books are second-hand bought from catching fish, which can be a lot cheaper and environmentally friendly, right?
Not to mention the papers I checked, the electronic documents I downloaded, the documentaries I watched, and the animal videos, I also paid attention to more than 30 zoo-related public accounts, and even I still go to listen to lectures every week......
Without the accumulation of this area, I really need to look up a lot of things to write about this topic, and I need to spend dozens or even hundreds of hours studying behind the chapters you read in one minute.
Especially for each animal pavilion, wow, you have to understand animal habits, such as how far a tiger can jump, and you have to find the original habitat, the trees and grasses planted can't be poisonous for animals to eat, and the specific plant names in the later venues are rarely written, but there is not so much time to check. I also want to look at the design of various zoos, compare and contrast, see where the good reference is, think about what behavior animals can show in it, and have to have some characteristics, although the classic formula is the landscape forest, what pavilion has these things are good-looking, but it can't be the same, that's not without highlights. What kind of abundance should be matched with the exhibition hall?
Designing an exhibition hall feels more difficult than writing a graduation project.
Writing slowly really doesn't mean being lazy and making excuses.
It's not good to look up so much information, and it's tiring and unpleasant......
I guess I haven't found the right writing posture that is easy and enjoyable.
But if you don't check the information, what you write may be that the little tiger urine bubbles yellow urine and nourishes people's face, and opening an aquarium is half to raise ornamental fish and half for people to fish and eat......
Damn, the little tiger can't pee out by itself, so he wants the tigress to lick his ass or someone to pee, and the color of the little tiger's urine is light yellow and bright, and the yellow is almost invisible. Is it the little tiger or the little Nezha who nourishes yellow urine?
And writing a book is not writing information, you can't dry out the information when you find it, you have to put it in the right place, right? The theme of the zoo is very niche, so there are very few books that can be referenced, and some books have good results but may not be the same.
It's like going out to rescue rare wild animals all day long, yes, the zoo must also save the animals, but after saving them, they throw the animals back to the zoo, and then go out to rescue new animals, and the zoo becomes a recycling bin, right...... This has something to do with the zoo for a half-dime.
And the rescue is not to say that you will move back when you see it, the best thing is to protect the habitat of people, how to save it, whether to bring it back to the zoo must also have a plan to research, you can't save blindly, otherwise people may have a few single seedlings to be rescued, there is no suitable environmental conditions to raise, and they are raised to death, and the rest can not reproduce, and the population will completely die out in the wild.
When rescuing, analyze the injury, what kind of injury, don't take it back if it's serious, how to take it back? Very particular.
Should I be anesthetized or not, and what dose of anesthesia will not be life-threatening? Many animals die due to complications of anesthesia.
You have to learn a little bit of basic veterinary knowledge, right?
If you are not familiar with it, you don't dare to write casually.
Of course, it's easy to write nonsense, isn't it fragrant to find an endangered animal to save it, incarnate a druid calling for animals to fight fiercely with poachers in the forest, police helicopters descending from the sky, and come to a righteous ending, this is not a dozen chapters of random water, but also exciting, not much better than visiting.
To be honest, it's not a Virgo, why do you pay attention to the details like this, the wide road has to go narrow.
What to write specifically,This is really worrying.,No reference book can only grope for what to write by yourself.,Sometimes I sleep after the code and think about the plot card.,I can't sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning after flipping through the pages.。
Some people think that tourists visit the zoo water, isn't it, we designed such a beautiful exhibition area, isn't it just for tourists to play? After the exhibition area is built, tourists don't come to visit, so what's the point? Isn't that painstakingly designed exhibition area blind?
The primary responsibility of the zoo is to educate people, and the object of this service is tourists.
I also understand that what some readers may want to see is that the protagonist interacts with animals all the time, just like an elf trainer, there are elves with him everywhere he goes, and the pickup pickup is very cute.
When tourists visit, sometimes they can let the protagonist come out and make an appearance, do a commentary on popular science, but most of the time, tourists must visit the zoo by themselves, how can there be a ubiquitous director like a ghost, unless you are a tour guide.
This part is not suitable for the reference of the book with the theme of the zoo.,I'll refer to the "Food Supplier", the book is popular, the protagonist makes a dish, and the customers come to eat, in fact, it's the same as the tourist visit, and the customers will also describe what they did before eating before eating, according to my past feelings, there is no problem.
Is there a rhythm in writing a book, a period of ups and downs and a flat, with a foreshadowing to eat when you go to eat, when you go to the zoo to play, you can also know why you are here, what you want to visit, if you come up directly, the two people will put their names on their faces, and say who is going to visit today, is it a bit too blunt.
Maybe the plot of the visit will be better if you look at it together? Or do you cram the protagonist into it every time you visit?
Including live broadcasts, tourists to visit, and the interaction between the protagonist and the animals, are all interspersed, and a plot is not too long, I try to avoid getting tired of watching a plot in a row.
Including visiting, the activity status of the animals is different every time you go to visit, take the red panda as an example, hiding in the cave, hiding in the tree, climbing the tree, eating bamboo, basking in the sun, eating apples,, being bullied by crows...... It's also a lot of work to write about the visit.
The rich environment of the exhibition area allows animals to show many natural behaviors, can you see all the behaviors of animals in one zoo? Even if it's the same behavior, different people have different experiences at different times and different situations, isn't this the fun of going to the zoo?
Write about the breeder's point of view, the animal's point of view?
If you have experience working as a breeder, you may be able to write about your daily life more interestingly.
Fantasy novels to fight, upgrade, get treasures, trials and so on plot development is very mature, but what to write about this kind of theme, how to write well, there is no very suitable example guidance, I can only write according to my own understanding.
The author is not glass-hearted, but when I wrote about the visit, I was a little sad to see so many comments that said it was boring, careless, nonsense, bad reviews, disappointment, etc.
Choosing the theme of the zoo may be really a bit impulsive.,Most of the energy people write books is to conceive the plot.,I can code a lot of yards a day and write a lot of things to play.,I'm the ultimate naïve and naïve to gnaw on the information.,I can only write so little.,And then it's sprayed wildly.。
Isn't it better to spend so much energy learning fire book fantasy, better than a small unpopular subject like death?
A big horse every day.
There is a limit to human energy, and I don't want to be human anymore......
I really want to write something good to write.,Isn't it fragrant to write a brainless cool essay?,It's all sprayed anyway...... Why bother?
Some readers suggested that they could write some emotional dramas, enrich the characters, and design some plots for the supporting characters, which is a good suggestion, but there is not enough time.
If you divide yourself into several doppelgangers, one to learn the fire book, one to learn animal information, one to conceive the plot and write, well, and one to go to the zoo as a keeper for on-the-spot reference, Meizizi. It should be easier to write a zoo book this way.
In the final analysis, there is still insufficient accumulation, and we can only try to ensure that we do a good job in one aspect, and we cannot cover everything.
But maybe it's better to add a sour love plot? You don't have to worry about that many things. Wait until you find time to study.
Eh,Anyway, it's destined to be a niche book.,If you like it, support it.,Let the author earn back the money from buying the book.,If you accidentally buy an expensive children's animal picture book with little content or draw an expensive notebook with animal illustrations, you won't regret it.,After writing this book, you can change the broken laptop that has been used for seven years and can't afford to bring the zoo star.
Woo woo, it's very resentful to say, the protagonist is playing Zoo Star Crossing, and I haven't even played Zoo Star! I bought it with DLC at a discount.,It took 5 minutes to open it for the first time.,Running one card at a time.,It's going to be dusted.。 I hope that my brother will support me and give me a chance to travel with the game.
Niche themes, writing is not easy, and I really need the support of my brothers.
Just like an endangered animal, it may become extinct without anyone to save it.
Finally, thank you again.
First of all, I would like to thank my mom for supporting me in my writing and giving me a relaxed writing environment.
Thank you to every book friend who voted for recommendation, gave a reward, expressed his liking for animals, and seriously commented on the problem.
Thanks to the beauty editor Tiger Tooth Great!
Thank you to the zoo giants, the teachers of the exchange group, especially the director Qi of Xining Wildlife Park, who took the time to answer the questions that were very stupid and stupid, and the brothers had the opportunity to go to Xiye to see their snow leopards and rabbits, which were super cute.
3 chapters are updated on the shelves, and 4 chapters are greatly added to the alliance leader "Flying Talker", don't ask too much, 700 plus two chapters.
I actually want to say a 100 order plus more chapters, but it's already all the manuscripts, it's really too slow, 4000 words a day is enough, and the promise is too big to do...... Write as hard as you can.
If you have an idea of what plot you want to see, you can leave a message in the comments.
If you have any photos of your visit to the zoo, you can also share them with you.
I hope this book will let you know some about the zoo and have a better experience when you go to the zoo to see the animals.
