The location of the Wolf Pavilion is at the very front of the Predator theme, adjacent to the Tiger Pavilion, and the entrance is a cave made of many large blocks of irregular granite.

The granite is an ancient gray-yellow, as if it has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, continuous mountain wind erosion, rain blowing, to form the current appearance, in the bottom of the stone cracks, there is a bush of dense green grass tenacious stretch out.

Large rocks are layered on top of each other and spread out to the surrounding area, serving not only as a fence for the grass, but also as a stone bench for rest.

At this time, there is a family pushing a stroller, which seems to be tired of walking, and takes a break here.

The large stones are carved with some very primitive frescoes, clear or blurred, deep or light black notches, depicting scenes related to wolves.

Some wolves gathered together and howled in the sky; There were several wolves hunting, chasing the deer with horns on their heads; There are also wolves' heads touching each other, opening their mouths, gnawing at each other's heads, licking each other's lips; There are even images of humans and wolves walking together.

Above the entrance of the cave, the word "wolf pavilion" is also written in the ancient seal text!

Even if visitors don't recognize this twisted font, they can feel the wild and rough meaning in it.

Together, these elements embody a long-standing relationship with wolves in human history.

It is like the dwelling of a primitive tribe tens of thousands of years ago, and the primitive people who lived here observed wolf hunting, socializing and other behaviors, and passed down these observations in the form of stone carvings.

Entering the cave is like traveling back to its primitive state 10,000 years ago, observing and understanding the wolves from an ancient perspective.

The lamps in the cave are also in the shape of torches, and the bulbs emit bright yellow light, shining on the rough and undulating stone walls of the cave.

The popular science display board is placed under the torch, and the words and patterns on it can be clearly seen.

At a distance of two meters, the lights will dim, but of course it is okay to see the road under your feet.

The next torch is held at a distance of 5 meters, creating the atmosphere of a primitive cave.

Before you know it, the tourists who walk in here are quiet.

Tang Xiaoxin looked expectant, and whispered: "I heard Brother Fang Ye say that he will see a lot of wolves this time!" The last time I visited, I walked through several windows without finding any sign of the wolf. ”

Qian Keke's eyes also flashed: "Hmm! I'm sure I'll see a wolf this time. ”

The area of the wolf hall is so large, and it is still a mountainous terrain transformation, with ups and downs, and there are various dense forests and rocks in the middle to block the view.

A visit point, the area that can be seen is just a small area, a hillside undulating, or a dense forest, and the scene on the back is not visible at all.

Different visiting spots, small areas of overlapping views!

Here you can see a meadow, here you can see a dense forest, here you can see a stream......

Originally, there were only two wolves, Black Charcoal and Xiaoyu, and they were always tired of being crooked together, inseparable...... The main thing is that black charcoal is too sticky for wolves.

So after the wolf hall was built, it was a little embarrassing, basically all the visiting points, only one or two visiting points can see the wolf shadow.

Now that there are so many wolves at once, the range of activities has increased, and there is a probability that wolves can be appreciated at different visiting points.

The two of them came to the first point of visit!

Here you can see a flat meadow with dense foliage swaying in the wind.

The dappled sunlight shone down and hit a wolf that looked a little vicissitudes.

It seemed to be a little lame, with its front paws lifting, and it walked slowly on the dark green grass, exuding an aura of loneliness.

"Wow, it's a wolf!"

"The wolf is coming!"

Several tourists exclaimed quietly.

There weren't many people at the first visit, and most of them went to places where you could see the waterfalls.

That's where wolves are most active!

Lame has been injured and has difficulty moving, is old, and has a more withdrawn personality, and does not want to mix with other wolves.

Walked up to a tree, looked down and sniffed the grass, left and right.

Then start going around in circles!

Over and over again, go in circles.

Some tourists wondered, "What is this doing?" ”

Qian Keke stared at the lame foot, frowned, and whispered, "Is there something wrong with this wolf?" ”

Tang Xiaoxin said uncertainly: "Let's take a look!" ”

The visit points are also well designed.

A layer of gravel was laid under the glass curtain wall to reduce the desire of wolves to get closer.

Because the natural light outside is bright, and the glass curtain wall in the cave is sandwiched between two torches, the yellow light is dim, and such a strong light ratio naturally forms a visual barrier. Not for tourists, but for wolves!

I must have had this experience when I was a student, looking at the classroom from the playground and not seeing anything, but in the classroom I could clearly see the scene below the playground.

Similarly, the wolf is in the outdoor exhibition area, looking at the glass curtain wall is dark, and the visitors inside can not be seen, so that it can show a more natural behavior.

In other exhibits in the zoo, there is actually such an application of light to reduce the pressure on visitors' eyes on the animals, but the wolf pavilion uses the cave atmosphere to maximize the light barrier.

I saw the lame foot circle and circle in place, looking at the grass under his feet, and slowly lying down on his side.

The injured foot was on the outside, and his eyes were closed motionless, as if he were still in a picture.

It's not exactly a still picture, and the stomach is still lying together in a small amplitude.

That's right!

Tang Xiaoxin had a flash of inspiration: "I remembered, I seem to have seen a display sign before, saying that wolves in the wild will go around in circles over and over again before going to bed, and trample the grass under their feet into a comfortable bed suitable for sleeping." ”

I didn't see a wolf behave like this last time I came, but I was lucky enough to come across it this time.

Qian Keke looked at her with admiration and exclaimed, "Wow, amazing! You remember this! ”

The tourists next to him also heard Tang Xiaoxin's words!

Looking at the lame appearance again, he said a little suddenly: "I said that it looks a little familiar, my dog will also step around the carpet before sleeping!" I haven't thought much about it, but this is probably the habit of inherited wolves living in the wild! ”

If there is no rich environment in the exhibition area, just a bare open space, and the unsocial wolf stays alone in the corner, it may not stop stepping on it in a circle, it looks weird and becomes a stereotyped behavior.

The two of them continued on their way, following the dim corridor to the next point of visit.

The waterfall that rushes upstream turns into a gurgling stream after a twist and turn.

Climb over the last stone staircase to form a short waterfall that converges into a calm pool.

A gray wolf appeared on the bank of the stream with light steps!
