Chapter 516: Awesome My Elephant!
It's not the same as spraying water at a tourist and spraying a large area.
Pingping's target this time was specifically aimed at Fang Ye, and the firepower was concentrated a lot, directly drenching Fang Ye into a soup chicken!
Fang Ye's head became wet, and he pulled his head twice with his hand and shook two handfuls of water.
raised his head, looked at Pingping, who was grinning at him, and smiled dumbly: "Hehe! You cute little ...... Big naughty. ”
Stretched out his hand and shook it with a flat nose!
It's still acceptable to spray water, don't be like a child, a body weighing several tons runs towards him, and wants a loving hug, which is really the unbearable weight of life.
Pingping touched the tip of his nose in his hand, but he didn't find anything to eat, so he took it back with some disappointment.
Netizens complained: "Principal, were you going to say that you were naughty?" Such a big elephant, you call it naughty? ”
"The elephant thought to himself, the cute little head of the garden has come to play with him again."
"Didn't you just get licked on the head by a panther? This will squirt the elephant with water, just in time to wash its hair! ”
"This is VIP treatment, envy the principal! I came to play last weekend and saw elephants spraying water outside, and I wanted to be drenched, but I didn't have the chance. ”
"It's a big guy, but it looks so cute! It's so cute. ”
"Who doesn't love elephants?"
"Why is it that the director can call out the names of so many animals that I look the same?"
Fang Ye smiled: "Ping Ping is 9 years old this year, he is the youngest elephant in the elephant hall, in fact, there is no problem in saying that he is a little naughty." ”
touched Pingping's nose and said, "Everyone likes you very much!" ”
Playing with big cats such as lions and tigers, it's okay to stroke, and the animals enjoy his petting.
Petting the elephant, the elephant is not so comfortable.
So when I came to play with elephants, I still mainly used elephants.
Follow Pingping in the activity field and take a leisurely walk!
Every day, the staff of the elephant hall drive a small motorcycle to build sand dunes and make mud ponds, and the environment in the stadium changes every day, and the elephants explore activities every day, which is also novel and fun.
Ping Ping walked from the lawn to the sandy area, stepping on the sand pit.
The feet that had just been stuck to the water stepped on the sand pit, leaving wet footprints with a diameter of more than half a meter.
Fang Ye's footprints were on the side, and the contrast was very obvious.
"Compared to the footprints of the elephant, the footprints of the director look so small!"
"It's like the footprints of giants. Maybe the giant in myths and legends was imagined by the ancestors who saw the footprints of elephants in the mountains and heard the sound of a group of elephants walking and rumbling? ”
"It's a possibility!"
Fang Ye smiled: "Do you know that the footprints of elephants are actually a vital link in the ecological chain!" ”
Netizens can't help but be curious, although they don't know the ecological value of elephants, they definitely have it.
The director said that each wild animal has its own unique meaning.
But elephant footprints are also important, and this is really beyond imagination.
Fang Ye said: "Whenever the forest becomes muddy after the rainy season, and when the elephants pass by, they will step on deep footprints one by one. With a weight of several tons, the mud pit is deep, sometimes up to 30 centimeters deep!
These sunken footprints, after the accumulation of water, turn into miniature ponds that can be turned into spawning chambers for frogs, unlike some ponds with more large animals, these spawning chambers have few natural predators. The pond formed by elephant footprints can be preserved for a long time and is also a precious source of water for some small animals during the dry season.
Some researchers have done special research, more than 30 elephant footprints, there are 61 species of small invertebrates, belonging to 9 orders, frogs, dragonflies, spiders, snails and other small creatures, which is equivalent to a miniature habitat. ”
"Wow, 6666!"
"It's a world with one foot!"
Netizens looked at the mere footprints, and a picture couldn't help but emerge in their minds, in the mud puddle and water, frogs came to lay eggs, and one by one the eggs became tadpoles, and then jumped ashore to become frogs.
The process of life conception and reproduction is actually completed in the footprints of elephants.
It seems that elephants and frogs, which are so different in size, seem to be animals that can't be connected at all, have such a wonderful connection, and nature is really amazing.
Fang Ye said in passing: "The ecological significance of Asian elephants to forests is somewhat similar to wild boars!"
The huge body can carve out elephant paths in the forest, so that small animals can run farther and breed. The manure that is pulled out is a very good fertilizer, which can promote the growth of trees, and it is also a very popular food for dung beetles and various animals.
However, elephants are larger, and the elephant path is wider, and there are many other things that wild boars can't do.
For example, knocking down dead dead trees while elephants are tickling can make room for newborn young trees to get precious sunlight.
It is of great significance for the succession of forests!
If the wild boar is the forest gardener, the elephant is the ecological engineer.
For some plants with larger seeds, such as durians, it will also become difficult to spread without the help of large animals such as elephants.
The durian has a hard shell and a lot of thorns, and ordinary animals can't eat it!
But for elephants, it's simple. Elephants can swallow durian directly, and some people have found the complete shell and seeds of durian in elephant dung. ”
Netizens were dumbfounded: "! ”
"Eat durian and swallow it raw with the shell? That's too fierce, isn't it? ”
"Aren't you afraid that the thorns of durian will pierce your intestines? Awesome my elephant! ”
"Just thinking about it makes me feel a faint pain in Kikube...... How did this come out......"
"I remember a funny movie where someone hid in an elephant's chrysanthemum. The Tibetans have no problem, let alone let the durian pass! ”
"Wow, don't be so disgusting!"
"It's a ruthless character! Well...... Both elephants and people are. ”
Fang Ye smiled: "There should still be a lot of students who like to eat durian, right?" When you eat durian in the future, remember to think about the elephant. ”
"Haha, okay!"
"Principal, let the elephant perform a durian eating show?"
Fang Ye said: "The durian is only ripe after June, where will you let me go." In the summer, durian will be added to the food, so everyone is welcome to come and enjoy it. ”
“ok! When it's time for the summer vacation, be sure to go to your zoo to play. ”
Pingping walked in the sand, and from time to time Pingping rolled up a handful of sand and threw it on his back.
Fang Ye used to think that the elephant sprinkled sand on itself by sucking it in and blowing it through his nose, just like sprinkling water.
After the elephant came, he found that in fact, there are two ways for the elephant to scatter sand, both sucking and rolling, and rolling more, just like a person holding sand in his hand and scattering it.
