The teammate said: "Yes, it's really cute, this little chubby face." ”

Shi Xi observed curiously: "No wonder it's called a pig-nosed snake, you look at its nose, like a pig's nose, it looks simple." ”

At this time, the pig-nosed snake also retracted its head and hid its little chubby face in its coiled body, so Lu Ye stroked its body with his fingers again.

While playing with the pig-nosed snake with his fingers, he explained with a smile: "The upper lip of the pig-nosed snake is turned out, and you can use your nose to turn over the soil like a pig, and dig up toads hidden in the ground or something."

This kind of different organisms have evolved similar structures, which is called convergent evolution in biology.

How about it, such a cute snake, do you want to touch it? ”

Shi Xi is really a little excited!

It's not for the sake of filming the show, but she wants to touch it herself.

However, her long-term fear of snakes still made her a little worried, and she asked uneasily, "It doesn't bite, does it?" Is it poisonous? ”

Lu Ye smiled dumbly: "The pig-nosed snake is very silly, it usually feeds it food, even if it is sent to the mouth, it may be in the air, and it will look for a long time in a daze, 'Eh, what about the food?' What about eating? Not to mention biting.

The poison is a little slightly poisonous, and it can only paralyze the toad, a small prey, and its fangs are posterior molars, which grow close to the throat and basically cannot cause harm to people.

The pig-nosed snake is not good at fighting, and has a very cowardly personality.

When it feels threatened, it will coil its body up, raise its head high, but not completely, puff out its cheeks angrily, make a 'hissing' sound, pretend to be a snake with eyes, and say, 'If you don't go again, I'm going to bite you', and if the intimidation fails, it will turn its stomach and pretend to be dead. It can be said that it is the Oscar actor of the snake world! ”

"Is it so?"

After listening to the introduction, Shi Xi felt that this pig-nosed snake was a bit similar to a red panda!

Red pandas feel threatened and will stand up and raise their hands to scare their enemies, but they will not be intimidating at all to people, but will find it fun and cute.

However, although the red panda seems harmless, the actual lethality of its sharp claws and teeth is still very strong, and the pig-nosed snake is really weak and 5 scum.

No, the battle 0 scum, the war 5 scumbags all look up to it.

Shi Xi thought about it, it would be too embarrassing for such a weak snake to be afraid, so he agreed: "Okay, then I'll touch it!" ”

Lu Ye then took the pignose snake out of the exhibition box and put it in his hand.

Because I was afraid of the kind of tourists who overreacted, I was ready to agree to pet the snake, but when I touched the snake, I suddenly shivered and threw the snake away, scaring the snake half to death, and also scared other tourists.

Therefore, when the project animals are brought to the tourists for contact, the keepers first hold them themselves, let the tourists stroke twice, have a process of adaptation, and then hand them over to the tourists.

Shi Xi tried to touch it lightly with his fingers!

As a project animal, the hognose snake has also seen the world, and it is very docile to cooperate with her petting, constantly spitting out letters.

Shi Xi was a little surprised: "Huh? ”

It's not as slippery and cold as she imagined, with a little subtle texture, soft and smooth but not slippery, slightly cold, like stroking delicate and warm jade.

The teammate was curious: "How?" ”

Shi Xi smiled in surprise: "It feels pretty good!" Why don't you touch it too? ”

"Eh, it's really good!"

Shi Xi scratched the chin of the pig-nosed snake with his fingers again, and the pig-nosed snake swam forward, slowly swimming to her palm, spitting out the letter, and hanging down from her wrist, observing the surrounding environment in a hanging posture.

I don't know why, Shi Xi actually saw a little well-behaved and polite feeling in this pig-nosed snake.

Picking up the snake, he smiled, "I really like snakes!" ”

Lu Ye smiled: "Really? ”

Shi Xi remembered: "Anyway, our reward is to pet the snake, so is this considered the end of the touch?" ”

Lu Ye took the hognose snake and put it back in the exhibition box.

"This is just an appetizer, let you get used to it first, it seems that you are getting used to it well. Go, come with me and accept your true reward. ”

On the way to follow Lu Ye, Shi Xi's mood relaxed a lot this time, unlike when he first came in, he didn't dare to look at the exhibition box next to him, for fear of being frightened.

Looking at it this way, I found that the environment of the exhibition boxes on both sides is very well built, some are full of greenery, there are mosses and ferns growing in them, there are lush green leaves, and even flowers, and some of the exhibition boxes are spread with sand at the bottom of the boxes, containing cacti.

Just by looking at the layout of the exhibition boxes, you can roughly guess the environment in which the animals live.

There are a lot of super-good-looking snakes in the exhibition box, as well as lizard chameleons or something, which makes her feel amazing.

Lu Ye slowed down intimately, saw them observing the exhibition box, and explained it with great interest.

In what appears to be a rainforest setting, there is a large, crooked tree root with some moss on it, water droplets gathering in the core of the air pineapple, and a brightly colored blue frog lying on a blue-gray stone next to it.

The soles of the feet and limbs were dark blue like rubber rain boots, the flanks and back were pale blue whitish mixed with some dark blue spots, and on either side of the small head were two unusually large black eyes, and the jaw was puffing rapidly.

Shi Xi asked, "Is this a poison dart frog?" ”

When I was a child, I saw it in a documentary, and I had the impression that it was a highly poisonous animal, and the natives would use their toxins to smear on bows and arrows for hunting.

I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes in the zoo today, although I was small, I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart, and I didn't dare to underestimate it.

Lu Ye said: "This is a cobalt blue poison dart frog, the wild poison dart frog will accumulate toxins in the body by preying on insects, and it is non-toxic in captivity." ”

Then he pointed to the soles of the poison dart frog: "Look at the third toe of its hind foot, trembling and trembling, this is a manifestation of its excitement, seeing fruit flies." ”

When Shi Xi heard this, he observed the hind feet of the poison dart frog, and found that there was indeed a slender toe that kept trembling, like a telegraph machine, and it was like pressing continuously.

A small poison dart frog was even equipped with such a spacious exhibition box, and the exquisite environment was arranged to show such a wonderful behavior.

The fear of poison dart frogs is two points less and the interest is a little more.

In one exhibition box, several perches are arranged in a cross shape, covered by green leaves, and below is a relatively wide space covered with fallen leaves.

A turquoise snake coiled on a tree branch, motionless, as if sleeping.

The whole body color is emerald green with a touch of yellow, like the color of freshly picked fresh tea leaves, and the diamond-shaped scales are layered on the body, which looks delicate and beautiful.

Shi Xi's eyes widened: "Wow, what kind of snake is this?" It's beautiful! ”
