Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxin was a little confused and entangled, and asked quietly with Qian Coco: "Coco, do you think the breeder should interfere with them?" ”

Qian Keke likes to answer questions by instinct rather than thinking, and said without much thought: "I think it's better not to interfere, otherwise they won't be treated as human pets, and they can be fiddled with as much as they want." ”

Tang Xiaoxin sighed softly: "I also think it's good not to interfere, but the thought that the lively and naughty macaques may die in the process of competing for the Monkey King makes me a little unbearable." ”

Lu Jiamu looked at the tourists' complicated expressions and explained: "Although it is said that the habits and social rules of animals should be respected, it does not mean that they should be completely allowed to compete like in the wild.

And we will also use all kinds of enrichment, including some training, some measures to take care of vulnerable individuals, so that their populations are more harmonious.

For example, when feeding fruit to macaques, our keepers will first throw the fruit to the monkey king, and then throw the fruit to the other monkeys when the monkey king is busy eating. If it were to be the other way around, it would definitely cause the leader to attack and disrupt the community harmony of the monkeys.

Some elderly and weak individuals will throw more food around them, because these vulnerable individuals may not be able to compete with other monkeys, so we need to take more care of them. ”

When tourists heard the details of feeding the macaques fruit, they couldn't help but be moved: "Wow, this is so good!" ”

"It's not so simple for the keeper to take care of the animals, I thought it was just a feeding and cleaning cage!"

"I saw a recruitment message on the official account of Linhai Zoo before, requiring that in addition to understanding the habits of animals, I also deliberately marked 'carefulness and love' in red!"

Lu Jiamu said seriously: "Zoos respect and care for animals, not only for individuals, but also for the population and their natural needs.

The ultimate mission of the zoo is to protect species, not only the genes of the species, but also the natural behavior of the animals, so that the individual animals can communicate socially as in the wild, know how to use survival skills, and prepare for their future return to nature. ”

In fact, he used to rely on experience and intuition to take care of animals!

Now, under the influence of Fang Ye, he gradually understands the meaning of the job of a breeder.

Nowadays, many zoos call their keepers nurses, care and nurturing, zoo keepers.

It is more appropriate than the meaning of simple feeding and feeding by breeders, but the name does not matter, mainly the content of the work.

Originally, Lu Jiamu and his family and friends joked that he was a monkey head and shoveled, but now when he tells his little daughter what a breeder does, he will tell her that he is engaged in a very meaningful job, and his image in his daughter's heart has become more and more great.

When Tang Xiaoxin saw the monkey fighting scene in the exhibition area again this time, her mood was much more relaxed!

In the process of visiting the monkey house, I saw that there were several eye-catching signs about feeding on the glass curtain wall.

It includes pictures of the food that is usually fed to the macaques, as well as a detailed explanation of why they can't be fed.

One large basket contains white cauliflower, green lettuce, red tomatoes, black and purple eggplants, and the other basket contains all kinds of fruits, yellow bananas, bright oranges, red dragon fruit apples......

With so many different kinds of brightly colored fruits and vegetables put together, the visual impact is still very strong.

And the condition is excellent, there are no potholes, and it looks better than the average supermarket.

It reads: Macaque's usual food, fruits and vegetables, five grains, fresh and delicious, and nutritionally balanced.

When the tourists walked by, they couldn't help but stop and sigh from the bottom of their hearts: "This monkey eats so well!" ”

"Woo woo, I can't even afford to buy such a good fruit......"

"It's much healthier than what I eat, and I'm still ordering takeout every day."

There was also a middle-aged man, holding a white-haired little old lady, pointing to the sign and saying depressedly: "Mom, I said that you are not allowed to feed here, you still have to bring a bag of steamed bread and radishes, and the feeding and disposal box at the door is not willing to throw it, you look at how good this monkey eats, is it rare to see your steamed buns." ”

The old lady stared at the display with a puzzled expression: "......"

"The Linhai Zoo is a real modern zoo, which is different from the zoo you used to see, so I will take you to ......visit more in the future."

Although there are feeding phenomena everywhere in the zoo, macaques are the hardest hit area!

Therefore, there is more than one place for the exhibition board, there is also a gap behind it, and you can see it repeatedly if you can't see it.

Qian Keke pouted: "I hate those who feed animals the most, the last time I came, I was really angry when I saw the one who threw pork jerky to the gray wolf." ”

Tang Xiaoxin nodded in agreement: "This kind of person should stay and punish him for cleaning." ”

Qian Keke smiled evilly: "Hehe, what is cleaning, it's best to eat the cleaned food yourself." ”

……

After entering the wolf hall through the entrance of the cave, you will come out through the tunnel and arrive at the waterfall viewing point.

In this area where wolves are most active, after enjoying their playing and frolicking posture, you can continue to circle around, go to the watchtower behind and the hidden observation point of the wolf's den, or you can go directly to visit other exhibition halls.

In the past, it could only lead to the Tiger Pavilion, but now there is another Bear Pavilion.

Wolves, tigers, and lions, so visiting is a route, and there is no need to look back.

Of course, the two Loli are going to the bear house!

The Bear Pavilion is also a mountainous terrain, with undulating terrain and a small hillside several meters high in the exhibition area.

The Asiatic black bear is on display here, because the black bear is a forest animal and likes to climb, so in addition to the abundant shrubs and trees, there are various perches in the exhibition area.

Leafy trees, clumps of vigorous weeds and shrubs, and the ground covered with light green grass and some fallen leaves, the environment looks lush and the light is much dimmed, giving it the feeling of a dense forest.

There are three viewing spots, one with a glass curtain wall facing a shallow pool, another with a perch formed by fallen trees in front of the viewing point, where you can see black bears crawling and playing in the trees, and another is a grass behind a trench barrier, where you like to play freely.

Before arriving at the visiting point, Qian Keke excitedly dragged Tang Xiaoxin: "Hey, look, giant panda!" ”

"Where are the pandas?" Tang Xiaoxin was a little confused, and when she looked at it again, there was indeed a black and white pattern of a giant panda landing on all fours on the wall!

Not only giant pandas, but also polar bears, although far away, but the white is very conspicuous.

It seems to be an exhibition wall arranged according to the size of the bears, and many tourists stop to take pictures or even group photos.

The two of them stepped forward curiously and looked at them in order.

The first one was the smallest, only a little more than a meter long, with black fur, a round head and round ears and squinting eyes, looking like a ragdoll bear.

Next to it is a simple label: Malayan bear, the smallest bear in existence.
