Chapter 428: Elegant Golden Monkey!
After seeing the ring-tailed lemur, we came to the golden monkey exhibition area.
The golden monkey exhibition area is leaning on the bamboo forest panda pavilion, which together form the theme of Wolong Bamboo Sea.
After watching the panda, you can go directly along the path to the golden monkey exhibition area, but Liu Wei and they went straight to the panda pavilion after entering the zoo, and after seeing the panda, they went to the bird hall and slipped around, and then they came to the monkey world.
The golden monkey exhibit has a bumpy and slightly undulating ground, covered with a layer of light green grass.
In the exhibition area, there are also simple wooden pavilions made of logs, umbrella-like grass sheds, and perches for climbing, separated by more than ten meters.
There are crooked tree trunks, lying on the ground, resting on perches or huge stones, surrounded by clusters of lush palm bamboos, spreading their leaves, very primitive and natural.
Several tall and short trees, distributed in various locations in the exhibition area, are connected by flexible rope bridges between the trees! They are all specially made metal ropes, which are not only painted in a dark green color, but also have a very similar appearance to natural vines.
As soon as a gust of wind blew, the rope bridge shook slightly.
Big trees, rope bridges, perches, and stones form a three-dimensional space that is jagged and scattered!
Golden snub-nosed monkeys usually move mainly in trees, so they need to be provided with enough places to climb.
On the outside of the exhibition area is a flowing stream, a few meters wide, with some broad-leaved plants planted on the edges.
Against the backdrop of trees and greenery, the stream is a clear dark green, the water ripples, and under the illumination of the sun, it reflects the golden light of the stars, giving people a leisurely and leisurely feeling, and the scenery is charming!
The barrier of the metal mesh is too hindering to the viewing and taking pictures, but the glass curtain wall will lead to the problem of lack of ventilation and high temperature in the exhibition area, so it is best to use the water as a barrier.
In fact, most of the primates are not very good at swimming, and there are abundant climbing trees in the exhibition area, and the golden monkeys are a family group activity, so there is no need to worry about them running out.
Outside the exhibition area, across the stream, a wooden shed was built in the corridor.
Liu Wei and the others were in the wooden shed at this time, admiring the golden monkeys inside.
Dabao sat on the perch of the umbrella-shaped grass shed at this time, facing the tourists, revealing his round belly!
The golden fur, shining with a layer of golden light in the sunlight, and the face is covered with a layer of brilliant blue, occasionally turning his head, grinning, showing his teeth, and looking very imposing.
Lili sat on the grass, pulled her paws twice on the ground, and then pulled hard, and a handful of grass was pulled off and stuffed into her mouth. And Yaya is combing Xiaobao.
Suddenly, Dabao stood up and jumped off the platform of the perch!
The arms are stretched out, and the long brown-red and golden hairs on their backs float upward, like a cloak, and like a gliding flying squirrel, with their arms outstretched, and there is a wide flying membrane between their front and rear limbs.
The long tail swings gently behind him, holding the balance.
Obviously, the figure looks big and round, but the falling posture is extremely light and graceful, and there is an elegant and chic beauty!
Holding a vine in the air with both hands, the arms were lightly relaxed, and the golden sunlight passed through the long hairs scattered behind the big treasure, like the sugar silk plucked by the master of the sugar man, and the bright red was full of dazzling gold.
Like an elf flying among the trees!
When Dabao's soles gently grasped a branch below, the long hairs of the floating cloak began to fall, and everyone came back to their senses, and the exclamations came one after another!
"The golden monkey is so beautiful! It's sassy and cool! ”
"Damn, this jumping down is a bit handsome!"
"It feels like a Leap of Faith from Assassin's Creed!"
"The hair on this back is so flowing, it can grow so long!"
"It's so ethereal! What kind of shampoo is used? ”
"Eh, did any of you just shoot it? I was so stunned just now that I forgot to take a picture! ”
"Damn, I forgot, blood loss!"
Gao Kaijin scratched his head and smiled: "I was filming just now, and I just happened to shoot it!" ”
The squad leader's eyes suddenly lit up, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Amazing! Brother, go back and spread it to the group! ”
Gao Kaijin made an OK gesture: "No problem!" ”
Dabao jumps from the perch, grabs the vines, steps on the branches, and lands on the ground in one go!
Although the process was very short, the beautiful and elegant posture made everyone stunned, and this scene was deeply imprinted in their minds, and they couldn't help but recall the scene just now over and over again.
The keeper introduced everyone with a smile: "The golden monkey that jumped down just now is named Dabao!" As you may have noticed, it is the most burly of these snub-nosed monkeys. Because it's a male, it's also the eldest in this family!
In addition to being physically strong, the male snub-nosed monkey also has a characteristic that the hair on his back is very long, which looks like a cloak, especially when jumping in the air, the hair floats up, and it is very chic and elegant.
This is like the tail feathers of a peacock, which is good for attracting the attention of the female snub-nosed monkey.
You can pay attention to the fact that the hair on the back of the female snub-nosed monkey is significantly shorter. ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately observed it carefully!
It was found that as the keeper said, the golden snub-nosed monkey grazing on the grass also had a lock of golden hair on its back, but it was mainly concentrated in the area behind the neck, and it looked like a shoulder rather than a cloak.
Dabao walks on all fours on the ground, and the thick long hair on his back will fall down and hang down to his waist and abdomen.
The gap is very stark.
Some people couldn't help but sigh: "This golden retriever is really beautiful, no wonder it's called a golden monkey!" ”
"Hey, I remember that the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey is black, why are they also called golden snub-nosed monkeys?"
The keeper smiled: "It's called the golden snub-nosed monkey because the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey was the first to be discovered!"
As this classmate said, in the golden monkey family, in addition to the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey with beautiful golden fur, there are also Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys with black and white fur, Qianjin snub-nosed monkeys with gray-brown fur, and Nujiang golden snub-nosed monkeys that are almost completely black.
Most of the golden snub-nosed monkeys live in the plateau and mountainous areas above 2000 meters above sea level, and as the altitude increases, the need for warmth also increases, and the dark fur is conducive to absorbing heat, so the fur of other golden snub-nosed monkeys is darker.
Compared to the golden snub-nosed monkey, there is a name that better represents their characteristics called the up-nosed monkey! Because they live at high altitudes and oxygen is scarce, the bones of the nasal bridge are degenerate, leaving only two nostrils facing upward, which is more conducive to breathing.
There is a picture of the golden snub-nosed monkey here, you can take a look. ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he turned to look at the sign hanging on the shed, and was surprised to find that it was indeed a nose facing the sky!
There is also an interesting question on the display board: "The nose of the golden monkey is facing the sky, will the nose get water in the rain day?" ”
couldn't help complaining: "Good guy, this problem, I can't think of it without ten years of cerebral thrombosis!" ”
