Chapter 167: Roll over with joy!
Yesterday the rain had just ended, and there was a fresh coolness in the air, and small wet puddles could be seen on the ground.
Zhuang Xiaobai strolled on the lawn, looked at the verdant lawn and lush trees, listened to the birds "chirping" on the trees on the roadside, felt the cool morning breeze, felt clear mind, and active thinking!
Before I knew it, a smile spread on my face, and it was a wise choice to come early.
There are still relatively few tourists, and I can't hear the noise, and I feel like I have contracted the zoo!
I saw a flock of peacocks on the lawn from a distance, and immediately took out the camera hanging around my neck and prepared to take pictures.
Get closer and spot what these peacocks look like they're grooming their feathers!
A male peacock with a long green tail took two steps, shook his body, and shook his wings, as if trying to shake off the dew from the blades of grass on his feathers.
Then he lowered his body slightly, his long neck covered with velvet blue stretched back, the crown of the pillow above his head swayed, and he gracefully and carefully took care of his beautiful tail feathers.
The beak pecked on the dorsal side of the tail, then grabbed a feather with scattered edges, stretched its head down, combed from root to tip, meticulously combed the feather until it was straight again, and then continued to patiently care for the other feather.
After combing a few sticks, shake your body, peck your tail again, and continue combing.
In the meantime, I looked up and saw the tourists outside, but I didn't pay attention to it at all, and taking care of my feathers was the most important thing in the morning.
Some peacocks, who had finished grooming their feathers earlier, began to walk freely on the lawn and sang "oh, oh" with a recognizable melodious call.
Click!
Zhuang Xiaobai enjoyed this scene and found a good angle to take two photos.
As he walked forward, he saw a sign with a peacock tending its feathers, which read: "The peacock will use its beak to dip grease on the glands on its tail, and then use its beak to evenly apply the grease to each feather, so as to make the feathers waterproof and insulated."
At the same time, these oils are converted into vitamin D in warm sunlight, which can be absorbed by peacocks when they use their beaks to manage their feathers, so that they will not be replaced by hypochondriasis. ā
"I see, I always peck my ass when I talk about how to take care of feathers."
Zhuang Xiaobai was quite interesting, originally he just came to appreciate the beauty of living beings, but he didn't expect to get a new knowledge.
He didn't care about the other signs, this one just happened to see that the picture was consistent with the peacock's behavior at this time, so he took a serious look at it.
Just as he was about to move on, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a brown and yellow bird standing on the trunk of a large tree in the lawn, which seemed to be an owl.
Curious, I adjusted the lens to zoom in on the picture clearly, and found that it was really an owl!
At this time, the sharp claws grasped the trunk of the tree, and the body shrunk like a fluffy ball, in a state of deep sleep.

The head hangs slightly, both eyes are half-open, although the right eye is open, the eye is wrapped in an instantaneous membrane, and the left eye reveals a yellow eye, and the eyelid slowly closes.
Transient membrane is a translucent eyelid possessed by tailless amphibians, reptiles, and birds in vertebrates, which moisturizes the eyeball without affecting vision.
After a few seconds, my left eye suddenly opened, observing the environment! Slowly close it again.
I slept so dazedly, and I tried to keep my eyes open, like a student who was so sleepy that he didn't dare to sleep listening to the teacher's lecture.
Zhuang Xiaobai was a little surprised, he had never seen an owl with his own eyes!
Muttered, "Is this zoo free-range or wild?" If you are free-range, aren't you afraid of flying away and not being able to find it? ā
I looked for the signs around the road that didn't have owls, and I was convinced: "It should be wild, I didn't think the environment was quite good, there are owls." ā
I thought it was a little funny to see the owl dozing off, and I took two close-ups.
Birds don't completely close their eyes when they sleep!
Generally, one eye is closed to sleep, the other eye is open, observing the wind and grass around you, and the two hemispheres of the brain are also taking turns to rest, this type of sleep is called unihemispheric slow-wave sleep.
If you are a social bird, you may sleep more easily with your companions around and open your eyes more slowly.
Animals in nature can't lie on the bed and sleep like humans without warning, otherwise they will sleep too dead and be caught and eaten by the enemy when they dream.
The clear morning light passes through the bamboo leaves, becoming subtle and introverted, making the bamboo forest in the early morning more quiet and green.
Mixed with the fresh earthy smell and the faint fragrance of bamboo after the rain, the breeze blows, refreshing people's hearts, and the slender branches and leaves of the arrow bamboo stretch and dance, and the bamboo leaves are slightly raised, rustling, accompanied by the melodious birdsong of the branches and the murmuring of the clear stream.
Zhuang Xiaobai couldn't help but slow down and walk in the bamboo forest, his brain was empty, his eyes were intoxicated to appreciate this beautiful scenery, listening to the beautiful sounds of nature, and he felt that he had come to an isolated immortal dwelling.
After coming back to his senses a little, he took a shot with his camera, and in just a few minutes, he walked in it for 20 minutes.
Entering the Red Panda Pavilion, Zhuang Xiaobai immediately saw the figures of several little red guys behind the glass curtain wall, his eyes widened in surprise, and he sighed more and more at his wise decision: "Sure enough, the early birds have bugs to eat!" ā
He had read the Linhai Zoo guide before and knew that the red pandas here were not unobstructed.
You may hide in various places such as trees and rocks, so you need to look carefully.
I didn't expect to see several of them without looking for them!
Because the red pandas were in the back house a few days ago, they didn't come out to play and bask in the sun for a few days, of course, they were panicked, but now they can go outdoors and run out immediately.
Another advantage of coming early is that there are fewer tourists, and the red pandas feel that they are not staring at them, so they do not deliberately hide their bodies, and they are all very active.
Some are climbing, some are washing their faces, and some are playing!
Shuai Shuai is the happiest one among the red pandas, lying on the grass excitedly, showing his black belly on his back to the sky, and his little short hand is raised next to his head, revealing pale white paw pads, trying to see his tail clearly, so his head and buttocks on both sides of his body are trying to lift up, as if he is going to do sit-ups.
But the round and fleshy body limit, a little upward can not be lifted, kicking the little fat legs, like a four-legged stupid turtle dangling for a long time, the fluffy ringed tail swept around on the ground, but the head just couldn't see where his tail was.
Dangling, from lying on his back to lying on his side.
Shuai Shuai was suddenly so excited that he saw the tail!
Struggling hard, with his back as the shaft, his head against the grass in an awkward turn.
Hey?
But when it rolled over, the tail disappeared again.
