Fang Ye remembered something and asked, "Director Qi, it seems that your zoo has rabbits in China now, right?" ”

He remembered that the Capital Zoo also had rabbits, but they later died.

Qi Yuan said: "Yes, do you know where our rabbit came from? ”

Fang Ye shook his head curiously.

Then, Chief Qi said something that stunned him.

At that time, someone picked up a cat, and he couldn't remember it clearly, whether he had raised it for a few days and found that it seemed to be a little different from ordinary cats, or an enthusiastic neighbor called to report it and sent it to Nishino.

This is the raccoon Xiaoman, who was not yet a full moon at the time, and was fed by the breeder with goat milk powder with meat strips.

There is also a little sister of Mi Si Miao, two rabbits and two rabbits, fainted on the side of the highway with hunger, was picked up by a passing well-wisher, and was sent to Xiye with a cardboard box, survived and raised.

Someone bought it in the vegetable market, and it was also raised as an ordinary cat, and after raising it for a few days, it was found that it was not a cat, and then contacted the public security, and Nishino brought it back for rescue.

The rabbits raised over the years were all picked up when they were young.

Fang Ye was so sour that he was like eating a lemon: "It's all picked up......"

Wild rabbits are all masters of camouflage, how to find a burrow to settle down, how to catch pikas, how to avoid predators, if you don't learn these skills, you can't survive in the fiercely competitive wild.

I can't put them in the wild, so I keep them, let them live as comfortably and happily as possible, and do a good job of popularizing science for the public.

There are 7 rabbits in total! (Blue Star)

In recent years, I have been trying to breed artificially, and it didn't go well at first, but there has been a breakthrough in the past two years, giving birth to three and dying one.

Fang Ye was a little greedy: "Director Qi, can we communicate with each other in the zoo and give us two rabbits?" ”

Although rabbits grow in this cold environment of the plateau, Linhai Zoo is in the tropics, so it will be not very convenient to raise.

But the rabbit is small!

The body is small, and the space required is also small, so it should be possible to raise it indoors at the right temperature in summer, and you can also play outside in winter.

If it is a big cat like a snow leopard, if you want to raise it well, you have to get an exhibition area of several thousand square meters, and you can't raise it indoors, unless there is some system black technology.

Rabbits feel like they can still be raised.

Director Qi thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about this for this visit, let's discuss it later." ”

In all fairness, he is still willing to communicate with the waterfront zoo, and the animals he exchanges are like married daughters, and he must hope to have a better life in the new zoo.

Linhai Zoo can now be said to be well-known in the domestic zoo world!

In addition to being small and having fewer animals, the design of the pavilion can be said to be superb.

"Okay, let's visit first!"

I went to see the snow leopard again.

In the snow leopard house, both leopards lie on a thick tree trunk perch, lazily basking in the sun, occasionally looking at each other warmly.

It looks very cp!

"Yo, this big leopard is playing with Aoxue."

Director Qi picked up his mobile phone and took a video.

introduced to Fang Ye: "The big leopard grandfather on the left is 21 years old, so he usually doesn't like to move, he just likes to stay quietly in the sun and rest." ”

Fang Ye had read the director's article before and knew that there was such an elderly snow leopard in Nishino, but he didn't know the specific age.

The lifespan of wild snow leopards is generally 8-15 years old, and this 21 years is equivalent to 105 years old for humans, which is very long-lived!

"Awesome!"

Qi Yuan said again: "This is just our Aoxue Princess, who is five years old this year. ”

told Fang Ye some stories about snow leopards.

The big leopard was a herdsman's sheep and was captured and brought to the zoo, and when he came to the zoo, he was already an adult.

More than a decade ago, there was no such concept as rescue release.

At first, I was a little stressed when I came to the Snow Leopard Pavilion, and I was very resistant, and I even went on a hunger strike for half a month.

When I get older, I will gradually become less afraid of people, and sometimes I will get close to the glass and play with children.

Aoxue is a captive-bred snow leopard.

Back then, people didn't think there was anything strange about the snow leopard.

People who come to the zoo to see the animals, only look at lions and tigers, and have little interest in snow leopards, come and take a look, oh leopards, and go.

Even the zoo's own staff felt that the snow leopard was like that.

Why are giant pandas so precious? It's all constant propaganda that people will learn that there is such a cute animal.

If you want to advertise, the snow leopard lived in a small dilapidated house of 20 square meters at the beginning, sleeping every day, with nothing to do.

So later, the snow leopard's venue was expanded to 240 square meters, and Ao Xue was born, with this condition, Qi Yuan posted some cute photos of Ao Xue on Weibo, and the fans of the snow leopard gradually increased.

Recently, with the expansion of the fame of the snow leopard and the support from above, a new snow leopard pavilion has been built.

Snow leopards are solitary animals and do not need to be caged.

However, Aoxue and the big leopard's cage are separated, and Qi Yuan noticed that the big leopard and Aoxue often look at each other through the railing and have some more friendly interactions.

Because in the past few years, the big leopard is already a very old leopard, usually not very active, the teeth are seriously worn, and he can't eat, so he can only eat some small pieces of cut meat, and the old man's meal, looking like he is about to die.

Qi Yuan thought that since the two leopards seemed to have a good relationship, whether to close the cage might bring a little vitality to the big leopard who didn't like to move, and it was also beneficial for the young Aoxue to have a big leopard to accompany him.

The teeth of the big leopard are aging and worn, and it is not easy to hurt Aoxue, who is also relatively young and not aggressive.

Considering that the two leopards were not very dangerous, a careful plan was made to try to close the cage.

After closing the cage, the two snow leopards quickly get close to each other, lying down and licking each other.

The young Aoxue is lively and mischievous, and when the big leopard wants to sleep quietly, she will shake the big leopard with her paws and let the big leopard play with her.

When the leopard poops, he will also be harassed and make him feel uneasy when he poops.

The leopard was harassed in this way, and its activity increased significantly, and it gradually regained its vitality.

He is still very tolerant of Aoxue, and he is not angry.

I couldn't eat anymore, but after a year of cages, I could tear the rabbit skin and eat the rabbit again, which was a miracle of life.

Even the mentality has become a little younger, and he will compete with Aoxue for meat to eat.

After listening to this, Fang Ye looked at the scene of the big leopard and Ao Xue lying on the trunk of the tree, looking at each other warmly face to face, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good!" ”

Qi Yuan smiled: "Yes, that's good!" ”

Lan Carp was moved: "It looks like a kind grandfather and a lovely granddaughter!" ”

Qi Yuan laughed "hehe", his expression was a little subtle: "In fact, sometimes, the big leopard will lie on Ao Xue's back and try to do something embarrassing, but Ao Xue doesn't cooperate every time. Of course, the big leopard will not force Aoxue. ”

The blue carp was speechless for a moment, and returned my touch!

Fang Ye was stunned when he heard this, and he was surprised in his heart, this big leopard was really an LSP, he was a hundred-year-old man, and he was still interested in thinking about that little thing.
