The drone slowly takes to the skies!

Shot from an oblique view of the sky, the view of Lemur Island is unobstructed, with a variety of plants scattered together.

The east side of Lemur Island is relatively empty, with low and sparse aloe vera, and the ring-tailed lemurs usually bask in the early morning, so the east side of the sun rises is chosen as a drying ground for them.

On the west side of the island, there is a ten-meter-long crooked lodging tree trunk that spans the wide water, resting on several huge rocks with windows in front of them that seem to lead to another site.

There is also a five-meter-high baobab tree on the west side, and in the middle of the water there are two wooden poles about three meters high, on which is a small square wooden platform.

There is also a platform protruding from the window on the other side of the wall, which together with the lodging tree trunk forms a different path to the sky and water.

Although ring-tailed lemurs can hook tree trunks and hang down like macaques, they generally do not do so and walk on top of tree trunks. So the platforms are not connected by vines.

Netizens were dizzying when they saw the rich scenery on the island: ", what is that tree, it seems that I have seen it in a documentary?" ”

"It's supposed to be a baobab!"

"Is this a cactus?"

"Hey, where are the lemurs? I didn't see a lemur! ”

After the drone took pictures of the scenery and slowly flew back, Fang Ye glanced at the barrage and said, "The lemur is still in the back house and hasn't come out!" This will take you to the back house. ”

Netizens came back to their senses, turned into curious babies, and had countless questions to ask: "Principal, why did you get such an island form, can't ring-tailed lemurs swim?" Will they swim to shore and escape? ”

Fang Ye smiled: "I don't know if they can swim, anyway, they won't set foot in the water, so as long as the water surface is a little wider, so that they can't jump over." When jumping in a tree, ring-tailed lemurs can jump up to 8.9 meters away! So the width of our water is 10 meters. ”

"Surprised, jumping so far."

"Haha, it's just 10 meters away, I feel like designing a zoo requires a lot of understanding of animal habits."

"It's quite interesting to make an island like this, but I feel that tourists are far away from the other shore and can't see clearly?"

"Principal, what's going on over there? I see where the trunk of the tree and the aerial jump are connected. ”

Fang Ye introduced as he walked forward: "That's the indoor exhibition area over there!" When it rains, ring-tailed lemurs can take shelter from the rain in the indoor exhibition area, which has perches, enrichment toys, and food is also placed there to increase the attraction of ring-tailed lemurs.

Just like some netizens just said, if you are too far away, you may not be able to enjoy it, so you can observe the ring-tailed lemur up close in the indoor exhibition area here! ”

Walking here, netizens also saw the situation in the indoor exhibition area.

The glass curtain wall next to the road is covered with an awning on the upper edge, which provides shade to visitors to reduce reflections, and at the same time prevents direct sunlight from making the indoor temperature too high.

The ceiling is metal mesh, the ground is cushioned with yellow sand, imitating an arid desert environment, and the back wall is also a gray-yellow rock wall that imitates natural unevenness.

Inside is 200 square meters, much smaller than the island, with scattered perches, umbrella-shaped grass huts, and cabins for ring-tailed lemurs to hide in.

In addition to visiting the roadside outside, you can also visit the indoor pavilion!

In the indoor pavilion, there are some ring-tailed lemur science signs, and the glass curtain wall is at a wide angle of 120 degrees to the outside, so that visitors on both sides can not see each other as much as possible.

"Director, by the way, I've touched ring-tailed lemurs in other zoos, can you visitors to ring-tailed lemur island here go up and play?"

"Yes, yes, ring-tailed lemurs are very gentle and not afraid of people at all!"

"Ah, it's still dangerous, isn't it? What to do if you get scratched. ”

Fang Ye thought for a moment and said, "This question is still very good to ask!"

How to say it, the ring-tailed lemur is indeed the overall personality is relatively mild and suitable for interaction, but the personality of each animal is somewhat different, like the animal individuals in the zoo who interact with them are generally better in character, or more cowardly, and generally do not attack people, tourists can touch it, and those with strong personality and short temper will not be placed in the place of interaction.

Moreover, the animals that do interactive projects are generally regularly quarantined and dewormed, and it is not a big problem to be bitten.

However, there is still a risk in long-term contact with the ring-tailed lemur, and I will be afraid of which naughty child will not be light or heavy, in case of touching the lemur, what to do if you touch the lemur's ears and pull the tail. ”

"Ah, is that why you can't touch it?"

"It's a pity, such a beautiful lemur island, it must be interesting if you can go to the island to play in person."

Netizens are quite sorry!

Fang Ye changed his words and said, "It's not that you can't get close to each other and touch it, but it's definitely not okay if there are too many people." Our zoo will open the lemur island to a limited extent, such as weekends and holidays can allow a small number of tourists to go to the island in batches, about a few dozen tourists a day to visit the island. ”

"Wow! That's great! ”

"Dozens of tourists, a drop in the bucket!"

"Damn, I really want to go to Lemur Island to have fun!"

Just when netizens were excited, Fang Ye and Blue Carp had already come to the back house.

Entering the back house, Fang Ye suddenly paused, sniffed like a dog, and sighed, "It's smelly!" ”

The blue carp also nodded, and said softly: "It's smelly!" ”

Netizens were curious: "What taste?" ”

"Does ring-tailed lemur smell?"

Fang Ye took a breath and described, "A faint smell of withdrawal, a little more exciting than that!" ”

"Hey, do ring-tailed lemurs stink?"

"No, I remember touching the ring-tailed lemur at the time, and it didn't smell good!"

Fang Ye explained: "There are three stinky glands on the ring-tailed lemur, which are distributed in the anus, armpits, and wrists.

Male lemurs have more developed stinky glands than female lemurs, and in addition to competing for females during the breeding season, they can also be used as weapons against enemies. When demonstrating with enemies or competitors, they rub their tails against the stinky glands, and then flick their tails to fan the smell.

For example, it's like touching the crotch of your pants, picking your feet, and stretching your finger over to the other person to smell it! You say the other side is disgusting or not disgusting. The effect of such demonstrations is still remarkable.

Among male lemurs, whoever has more developed stinky glands has a higher status. ”

Netizens laughed and screamed: "Hahahaha! What the hell is this! ”

"The wonderful parable of the headmaster!"

"It's over, I already have a picture in my head!"

"I can't look directly at the ring-tailed lemur anymore."

Fang Ye said again: "In addition to demonstrating to competitors, the stinky glands will also be used to mark the territory, secreting the smelly and pungent body fluids as road signs and territory marks, especially in this kind of closed and semi-enclosed space, that smell is very strong!" ”

I didn't feel this way when I first saw the ring-tailed lemur because they had just moved to a new place, so it didn't smell like much, and it was different after a day.
