Fang Ye explained: "Actually, don't worry so much, the snakes in the zoo have seen more people than people, and they have seen all kinds of winds and waves, so under normal circumstances, the keepers will be very calm when they clean up!" Not like snakes in the wild, easily irritated.

Basically, there is no problem with cleaning up the snake in front of you, just stick out your tongue and feel it, oh you are not food, you will not have a strong reaction, unless it is stimulated by the smell of some food. As long as you see the distance of the snake, keep your distance from it and you will not be attacked.

There are also some poisonous snakes that inhabit caves, and if there is danger, they will hide in the cave, and then it is no problem to take something to block the mouth of the cave and then clean up the stream. Or it is not afraid of the keeper, but the keeper is afraid of it, so he can give stimulation and stimulate it, and he will play with the stick twice, and the snake will go into the hole when it is disturbed and annoyed. ”

In the past, the zoo will reserve a backstage space for the operation of poisonous snakes, because at that time people did not have a deep understanding of the habits of snakes, now there is no need to make a backstage, there are actually many ways to control their actions, feeding or cleaning do not need to transfer the snake out of the box, just open the box and carry it out inside, in fact, the danger is not as high as the average person thinks.

The blue carp was a little worried: "Won't they be angry when you pluck the poisonous snakes?" ”

Fang Ye said with a smile: "If you play with the snake more, you will be familiar with this set of operations, like in fact, many players raise snakes like this, the snake hook touches the snake's mouth, and tells it that it is not the time to eat, and the snake will naturally know what it means."

And if the poisonous snake is angry, there will be an obvious intimidation action before the attack, the head is raised to the person, swaying back and forth, the neck is tilted back and there is a charged action, ready to eject out, like this The keeper can see that he can pay careful attention, and will not say that there is a good omen without a sudden bite. ”

The venom of a venomous snake is very precious, good steel should be used on the blade, and the venom will be used to hunt prey!

It's not that the food is wasting precious venom, of course, it's the threat that warns first, and after seeing the warning, the enemy is indifferent and even intensifies the attack.

Lan Carp nodded thoughtfully, looking a little relieved, but he was a little puzzled: "Then since there are so many ways to prevent snake bites, and Master Wu is also very experienced, why is he still bitten several times?" ”

Fang Ye thought for a while: "This should have something to do with the space environment for raising snakes!" If a one-meter-long snake is raised in a one-meter-long tank, of course it is dangerous, people are within the attack range of the snake, and it is a mouthful, even if there is prevention, it is sometimes difficult to prevent, so if you raise poisonous snakes, you must give them more space!

A one-meter-long poisonous snake is raised with a two-meter-three-meter tank, so that the snake first lives at ease and comfortably, the desire to attack is naturally reduced, and the safety distance will be longer.

Now the cleaning of the viper's display box is also carried out by two people, one person holds a long tool to clean up, and one person holds a snake hook to stare at the position of the snake, and sees that the snake wants to swim through the cave if it is interested in people, or is ready to come down from the tree, so it is actually very safe. ”

In fact, the main reason for many accidents of raising poisonous snakes is that there is not enough space for them.

"That's it!"

The two came to the isolation ground along the path on the side of the zoo, and Xiao Ming and Fang Ye said hello: "Hello director, hello Sister Blue Carp!" I've already taken in the ring-tailed lemur! Oh yes, these guys are making a lot of noise! ”

Fang Ye said with some expectation: "Okay, it's hard work, take us to have a look." ”

The ring-tailed lemur is a very interesting animal!

These guys have a peculiar habit of spreading their limbs when the sun rises every day, facing the sun, raising their hands as if hugging the sun, and letting the warm sun fill their chests and limbs.

Ah, praise the sun!

If you see them gathered together to praise the sun as if they were holding a sacrifice, you will definitely leave a lasting impression.

The ring-tailed lemur lives in Madagascar, and due to poaching and deforestation, there are fewer than 2,000 left in the wild, and it is classified as vulnerable, and it is also a species listed in Appendix I of the Convention, but it breeds well in zoos, can be seen in zoos everywhere in the world, and is very popular with tourists.

Before coming to the ring-tailed lemur's isolation room, because there were too many of them, they were divided into two rooms.

As soon as the blue carp saw the ring-tailed lemur, it showed a look of affection, holding it in front of its chest, "It's so cute!" ”

Fang Ye also looked at the ring-tailed lemurs with interest, and said with a smile: "It's really fun!" ”

Although it was a temporary dwelling, several perches and rope bridges were placed in the isolation room.

At this time, some ring-tailed lemurs sit on the ground and groom each other, some sit on perches, and some swing around holding on to rope bridges.

Their fur is light grayish-brown with a faint hint of white, and their cheeks, chest and abdomen are pure white.

The circle around the eyes and the nose are black, which is a bit similar to the black mask on the raccoon's face and the dark circles under the eyes of the giant panda, but the difference is still obvious!

For example, the raccoon's black mask looks like a sneaky masked thief, the giant panda's dark circles look like he has just stayed up all night to cultivate immortals, and his face is fairy-like, and the ring-tailed lemur's dark circles are spiritual guys wearing sunglasses!

From the side, the nose and mouth are triangular, not like the average monkey face close to humans, more like a canine like a fox, and the white ears are also pointed. That's how the lemur got its name.

The long tail stands behind the buttocks like a flag, and the tail looks longer than the body, and the black and white rings are very distinctive.

Seeing someone coming, many ring-tailed lemurs turned their heads to this side and looked at them curiously. With so many friends around, I don't look too scared when I just arrived!

There were even a few brave ones who jumped up very agilely, flew into the metal mesh in the air, claws grabbed the mesh, and the brown and yellow bright eyes carefully observed them, and screamed "woo~woo~".

The ring-tailed lemur also has a peculiar call, which seems to be blown through a trumpet, similar to the crushing cry of a screaming chicken.

"Woo~"

Fang Ye leaned forward and stared at the ring-tailed lemur, trying to learn their voices, but obviously he couldn't imitate that feeling, the ring-tailed lemur didn't know why, and he jumped away again.

The blue carp looked interesting, picked up the mobile phone and took two "clicks", and happily thought: "Hehe, new photos of the director and animals!" ”
