Chapter 461 Tons Tons
However, he knew that Ping Ping didn't want to shake hands with him, the relationship was not good enough to this extent, and he was sticking out his nose to eat.
He took an apple from the side and handed it to the tip of his flat nose.
The tip of Pingping's nose was pinched, and his nose retracted from the railing, opened his mouth and put it in, and stretched his nose out again.
After eating a few pieces of apples in a row, I was in a much happier mood and my eyes narrowed.
"Wow, this elephant eats apples, just like people eat dates!"
"These apples, it doesn't feel like it's enough to stuff its teeth, and its mouth doesn't move much."
"It's really delicious."
Fang Ye said while feeding it: "The feed that our zoo gives to elephants is mainly forage, carrots and apples, and Chinese cabbage in spring. With plenty of food, elephants can eat one or two hundred kilograms of food a day.
However, their absorption efficiency is relatively low, they cannot ruminate, they can only absorb about 40%, and the remaining 60% will be pulled out without digestion. Eat a lot and pull a lot, and the amount of bowel movements per day is very amazing. ”
After feeding for a long time, I brought a bucket with water, which is the kind used to cast mops in ordinary homes.
Ping Ping put his nose into the bucket and sucked and sucked it so hard that he could see the water in the bucket, and the speed was visible to the naked eye.
After sucking the water, he curled his nose up, put it back to his mouth, tilted his head, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he drank with a bang, and water droplets kept falling to the ground.
It's like Russians drink vodka, tons and tons and tons!
Fang Ye picked up the bucket and showed it to the netizens, the bucket that was still full of water just now was left in a blink of an eye.
The size of the elephant is not only reflected in its huge size, but even the simplest act of eating and drinking water is very shocking.
Netizens were dumbfounded: ", drink water too fast!" ”
"This bucket of water can be sucked clean with one nose?"
"Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live stream!"
"This elephant's trunk is like a straw, and drinking water is so interesting to watch."
"It turns out that elephants drink water with their mouths! I always thought they were sucking water straight into their stomachs through their noses. ”
"Me too...... I've been wrong for so many years, and my brother buried me. ”
"I didn't even think about it. / Laughing and crying"
"When I was a child, I learned how to drink water from an elephant's trunk, and I felt very powerful...... And then choke yourself to the point where you can't do it. ”
"Haha, spicy, you're really dripping beef pie!"
Fang Ye smiled: "The elephant's trunk is indeed very powerful!" The human body has a total of 639 muscles, and the elephant's trunk has more than 40,000 muscles, which can help them do many complex things.
In terms of water absorption alone, it can absorb 7-12 liters of water at a time, and the speed of water absorption can reach 3.7 liters per second, which is equivalent to 20 toilets flushing at the same time.
The function of the nose is complex, and it also takes a long time to learn and adapt to use, like a baby elephant that cannot use the nose proficiently, so it can only kneel beside the stream to drink. ”
As he was talking, Ping Ping used his nose to roll up a branch 2 or 3 cm thick and more than a meter long, which was used to enrich it and relieve boredom.
Holding the branch firmly in front of his nose, he scratched it repeatedly around his eyes.
When I scratch my face, the muscles on my face also shrug and shrug, and my eyes squint from time to time, which looks very comfortable.
After finishing his face, he scraped his ears with a branch, scratched the top of his head, and rubbed his lower abdomen.
The movements are very skillful, like a human scratching an itch!
When in the wild, elephants tickle themselves with branches.
"Wow, this nose is really like an arm! It's so flexible. ”
"I'm a little worried, this branch looks pretty sharp, what should I do if I poke myself?"
"You underestimate the rough skin and thick flesh of elephants, and it is difficult for anesthetic needles to shoot in, let alone such a small branch. And you can grasp how hard it goes. ”
Fang Ye watched it scratch an itch for himself, and said to netizens: "The elephant has just been vaccinated in the past two days, and he has been given deworming drugs to get rid of parasites inside and outside the body, so I can't take it outside for the time being, and then I will take you to see the new green peacock." The green peacock has been quarantined and is now in the aviary. ”
The animals sent by the system are all quarantined and have relevant certificates.
On the way, an online game asked: "Director, is there really no green peacock in domestic zoos?" ”
Fang Ye sighed: "Speaking of which, this is also a shame for domestic zoos.
Originally, an important role of the zoo was to protect and breed, but at that time, the zoo was still relatively chaotic, and the awareness of protection was not in place.
Since the introduction of the blue peacock, the green peacock, which is as rare as the phoenix, and the green peacock that can be put on the table and is similar to the domestic chicken, has been mixed, polluting the precious genes of the green peacock, and the purebred green peafowl is becoming less and less.
Now the green peacocks in the domestic zoo have been wiped out, and only a bunch of mixed-race strings remain. ”
"It's miserable."
"I can hear my smoke."
Come to the Tropical Bird House.
The environment that peacocks prefer is the tropical monsoon forest, a savanna-like environment.
The dense wooded place in the middle of the bird house does not like to stay, it turns out that the blue peacock also likes to stay in the middle of the road to bask in the sun, and tourists come and go they are used to it, and they are safe.
Now that the green peacocks have arrived, in order to avoid mixing, several blue peacocks have returned to the peacock lawn outside.
In fact, under normal circumstances, blue-green peacocks will not mate, and the difference between the two peacocks is obvious, and the aesthetics are different. So many parrots put together, but also choose parrots of their own kind as mates.
In order to create the name of the hometown of peacocks and increase travel income, many parks in Yunnan have introduced blue peacocks in large numbers, some blue peacocks are released for the first time, when they fly to the habitat of green peacocks, they are very unpopular, they are pecked by their heads and faces, some of their feathers are pecked off, and some of their eyes are pecked blind, which is very miserable and escapes back.
Another relatively open place is the middle of the aviary, under the huge quadruple trees, there is also a river pond, a few green peacocks are not used to tourist activities, they all stay there, and hide behind the trees when there is movement.
Fang Ye's head turned left and right, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Hey, have you seen the green peacock?" ”
As he pointed over, the blue carp also moved the camera over.
Netizens were stunned!
A green peacock is on the grass, walking on its long legs, its body is low, walking forward with small steps, shaking its head.
With a green slender neck, blue wings, and not too long tail feathers, she is a female peacock.
Stepping into a sunny place, the green neck looked golden in the golden sunlight.
The wings are the color of a beautiful sea, with a faint blue in the green, like a magnificent jewel, and even the tail is a bright yellow, as if there is a faint flow of light.
Breathtakingly beautiful!
