Meiling and Meilan, it's not that it's good because they come from the same elephant camp, elephants make friends based on their personalities, which are more complicated than humans to make friends, and their feelings are more pure.

It's just that the two elephants happen to have a good relationship.

If you like it, you will often stay together, walk around together, and eat together, and if you don't like it, you will be aggressive when you get along with each other.

Like Meiling and Meilan, they like to sleep together when they sleep in the back house, and Pingping is lying on Bobo's ****** after Pingping passes, Bobo takes the initiative to stretch his nose, first with Pingping's nose, and then raises his nose and touches Pingping's head back and forth, like an adult touching a child's head, expressing friendship.

Ping Ping also shared his nose with Bobo, his ears flapped, and he looked very happy, his mouth opened and he let out a low cry.

This low cry can be heard when you are close, but not by tourists outside the trench.

Fang Ye could only tell by the open mouths of Heihei and Bobo that they were communicating.

"This elephant that just walked over, named Pingping, was also the first elephant to come to our zoo! She's saying hello to Bobo. This act of touching each other's noses is an elephant's greeting ceremony, a sign of friendship. ”

Ping Ping looked at Meiling and Meilan and stretched out his nose, like a human reaching out in greeting.

Hi! The weather is nice today?

Meilan glanced at Pingping, but didn't react, but Meiling glared at her, opened her ears, and pulled the ground with her front foot.

It's okay, don't bother us!

Ping Ping hurriedly rolled his nose forward and took a step back aggrievedly.

Such a friendly greeting to you scares me.

Bobo opened his mouth and let out a low cry, as if to persuade him.

Everyone comes from different places, and it is fate to be able to come to Linhai Zoo! The environment here is so good, we also want to cherish the current life, get along in harmony, and don't make conflicts.

Bobo is large and old, and he is still relatively respected.

Meiling was a little unconvinced, Meilan stretched out her nose, partnered with Meiling, and opened her mouth to communicate.

Eh, forget it, Bobo's predecessor is right!

Meiling gradually calmed down under Meilan's comfort.

Fang Ye watched the elephants interact while explaining the meaning of their behavior to visitors.

Tourists listen to his explanation, Bobo and Pingping have a friendly relationship, Meiling and Meilan are a pair of good girlfriends, Meiling threatens and intimidates Pingping, Bobo is persuading, it feels very interesting.

Elephants have such a complex social relationship?

Then, Bobo raised his nose again, hung a net bag above his head, and whipped repeatedly!

The net bag dangles like a hanging ball. With every slap, something yellow fell from there.

When Bobo slapped the net pocket, Pingping and Meilan were elephants who also stretched out their noses and rolled up things to eat.

Liu Wei guessed that it was estimated that it was also a kind of food abundance!

Tourists looked at the elephants feeding and exclaimed, "Wow, what a nose! It's so flexible! ”

"I feel like we can do it with our hands, and this elephant's trunk can do it! Terrible! ”

"It's so strong!"

Someone asked curiously, "Principal, what is this?" ”

Fang Ye smiled: "The net pocket is filled with some hay!" Hanging a net bag in the air, the elephant needs to raise its head and stretch its nose to get food.

The movement of raising the head can exercise the muscles of the front and back, as well as the most important trunk of the elephant, which is very helpful for their health.

One elephant flapps into the net, and the other elephants can eat. This feeding method can also promote the unity of the elephant herd and make their relationship more harmonious. ”

Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh: "This abundance is really amazing!" ”

Gao Kaijin looked at these elephants feeding and had a mixed feeling.

There are also elephants in the zoo in his home city!

The area of the activity field is about 500 square meters, and it is all concrete.

The elephants were inside, shaking their heads when they went to see them.

Some adults tell children that this is an elephant dancing.

Gao Kaijin didn't know very well before, but he felt that the environment was quite monotonous, and the elephant was boring.

But thinking about the zoo, the conditions are definitely not as good as those in the wild, no way.

After visiting Linhai Zoo, I listened to the explanation of the keeper and the popular science exhibition board, and learned about the concepts of animal welfare, enrichment, stereotypical behavior, and natural behavior!

Knowing that the elephants at the zoo in their hometown are shaking their heads and shaking their heads, it should be stereotyped.

See the elephants at the waterfront zoo, walking in the sand, digging food out of cement pillars, sucking water and splashing it at visitors, raising their noses and slapping the hay in the air.

Can the environment of a zoo be made like this? Can it be so abundant?

Suddenly, I became interested in elephants like never before, and I wanted to know more about them.

How do they usually play, what can they do with their long noses and ears, and what are the stories?

At the same time, I feel pity for the elephants in my hometown zoo!

Eh, I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods.

Fang Ye pointed to the device with a hay net pocket and said with a smile: "In our elephant pavilion, the keeper can hang hay outside the pavilion and raise it through these hoists.

The hay in one place has been eaten, and the hay in another place has reappeared. Elephants are constantly moving around the pavilion, looking for and feeding, just as they are in the wild.

It is important for elephants to walk enough!

Captive elephants generally lack exercise, which can lead to uneven wear of the footpads and nails, causing damage to the nail bed. ”

Although there are now means of pedicure and nail manicure, this is equivalent to weight loss, one is to lose weight through exercise, and the other is to lose weight through weight loss tea, liposuction and the like, it is definitely healthier to exercise to lose weight.

Of course, enough walking, also built on the sand bedding in the elephant house.

Sand or mud pits rubbing against the elephant's feet can have a wear effect, and the smooth concrete ground has no effect, and it will cause serious foot diseases in the elephant if it stays for a long time.

The specific choice of sand is also particular, and general sand is easy to cause compaction, so the sand in the activity field is river sand bought from the system, which has good permeability and can quickly absorb water and elephant urine.

Moreover, the river sand is washed by the river, there are no sharp edges and corners, it is round and blunt, and it is more comfortable for elephants to lie on the sand when they sleep at night.

The tourists listened to Fang Ye's explanation, and their eyes widened one by one.

"Wow!"

“66666！”

Liu Wei couldn't help but say to his friends: "I saw the first floor, knew that this was a food abundance, and thought it was the second floor, but in fact, this zoo is on the fifth floor!" ”

It can increase the elephant's interest in feeding, exercise muscles, make the elephant population harmonious, and even keep running to wear out the feet.

This Fengrong is too awesome, if the director doesn't say it, he really can't think of so many benefits.
