Chapter 517: Elephants Eat Bamboo
Ping Ping stopped next to a cement pillar feeder.
The nose sticks through the hole and gropes inside!
After touching it for a while, I took out a piece of apple, stuffed it in my mouth, and ate it deliciously.
I found another piece of sweet potato!
I touched a few pieces of food and ate them, and I was about to eat the last piece of apple, as if I had thought of something.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head, rolled the apple in his nose, and handed it to Fang Ye.
Fang Ye pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Ah, for me?" ”
His flat sparkling black eyes looked at him, and his nose shook up and down again, as if to signal him to catch it!
Fang Ye was a little moved, touched his flat nose, and pushed his nose back: "What a good girl!" Thank you, you can eat it yourself! ”
Seeing that Fang Ye didn't eat it, Ping Ping rolled it back and ate it himself.
Netizens were shocked: "Wow, this elephant! It's so spiritual. ”
"It's normal, elephants are one of the smartest animals in the world."
"Normal fart! I'm an elephant keeper, and I've never had an elephant give me food. ”
"It must be that you don't have a deep relationship, and it's natural that your feelings are deep!"
"I@¥! ……”
"I think it's still the reason for the principal, it's because he treats the principal as a friend!"
"Yes, I'm not surprised by what the animals around the Great Druid do."
On the way, I saw Meiling and Meilan.
The two elephants are almost inseparable as they move around the venue, so they are easy to identify.
Fang Ye smiled and waved his hand in greeting, "Hello! ”
When Meilan saw Fang Ye, she slowly walked over and stretched out her nose, and also said hello to him.
Fang Ye touched Meilan's nose!
Meiling stayed a few meters away, unwilling to lean over, fanning her ears impatiently, her feet stepping up and down on the sand.
Then he coiled his nose on the sand and played with his nose rolling up the sand boringly.
Seeing Fang Ye touching Meilan's nose, he seemed to be a little jealous!
Take a step and walk slowly.
The big head squeezed in from the side, blocking between Fang Ye and Mei Lan, and the demonstrator generally looked at Fang Ye condescendingly, while his nose pulled Mei Lan's nose, opened his mouth, and let out a low cry.
Let's go, let's go! Didn't you say you wanted to go for a walk with me!
"Hahaha!"
"Elephants are so cute!"
"Big baby is jealous!"
"It's here, it's here!"
"When I went out with my mother, I ran into my mother's colleague, and the two chatted endlessly, and I felt very annoying!"
"Hahaha, the world is real! One conversation is half an hour! ”
"One world, one mother!"
Fang Ye smiled: "I was hated by elephants!" It seems that my charm is still not so great. These two elephants are Meiling and Meilan, they have a good relationship, and Meiling is more jealous! ”
"I see!"
Meilan glanced at Meiling and got it!
Slowly turning around the chubby body, He Meiling gradually walked into the distance again.
Ping Ping stretched out his nose and shook it, as if he was comforting Fang Ye!
Don't be afraid, I've got you covered!
Fang Ye touched Pingping's nose and said with a smile: "It's still Pingping!" ”
After walking a little further, I came to a thick wooden pole.
Underneath the wooden pole, a long strip of something shaped like a twist flower hangs.
This one is also made from discarded fire hoses, several woven together, with some bamboo stuck between the gaps at the top.
Irritated by the scent of bamboo, Ping Ping rolled up the twist with his nose and pulled it towards himself.
The nose dragged the twist belt back, and one front leg was also raised, trying to step on the fire belt and pull it off with all my might.
However, the twist belt is still very secure!
Ping Ping tried several times, and even bit the end of the twist belt into his mouth, but he couldn't pull it off.
With a raised nose, he threw it forward with a twist belt.
The twist belt is like a pendulum, swaying and flying back and forth, left and right, and Ping Ping keeps throwing it away with his nose!
Netizens couldn't help but smile when they watched this scene.
"Haha, have a great time!"
"It's so energetic."
"The elephants are so cute! It feels like they're smiling when they open their mouths. ”
"yes, it's healing to watch elephants play."
"I hope the elephant can always be so happy!"
"Every time I see elephants playing, I wonder why anyone would hunt elephants for their tusks."
Fang Ye said: "We have a variety of enrichment facilities in our elephant activity field, such as this kind of feeding device, which can not only plug in food, but also a recreational device, when playing and feeding, you can exercise the muscles of the elephant's head and the trunk, which is very helpful to their health." ”
Pingping played with the twist belt, raised his head, raised his nose, and flexibly pulled the bamboo leaves, trying to pull the bamboo out.
I pull, I pull!
The bamboo inserted between the gaps in the twist belt will shake when the belt is pulled, and it will take a little effort to pull it out.
But that's what you need.
Pingping pulled out the bamboo, rolled the elephant trunk and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it.
It looks like it's delicious!
"Surprised, do elephants still eat bamboo?"
"Something is wrong, isn't bamboo exclusive to pandas?"
"Is this going to rob the panda of his job?"
"Are there any other animals besides pandas that eat bamboo? I can't really think of it! ”
"Bamboo rats eat bamboo."
Netizens originally thought that Pingping dragged the bamboo to play, but they didn't expect to actually eat it.
They expressed their doubts and discussed.
When it comes to bamboo, everyone naturally thinks of pandas.
Elephants eat grass, apples, turnips, and so on.
Fang Ye explained: "Bamboo is indeed in the elephant's recipe! It not only eats bamboo, but also bamboo shoots.
Elephant teeth are divided into incisors, which are what we commonly call ivory, and molars, which are the teeth that chew food in the mouth.
We humans replace our teeth vertically, while elephants have their molars replaced horizontally.
Elephants have a total of 6 sets of molars in their lifetime, and the teeth continue to grow from the back to the front, pushing off the old molars in the front.
When the molars are replaced, hard coarse fiber plants such as branches and bamboo are needed to help the original molars gradually break up when chewing hard objects, ensuring that they fall off naturally and in a timely manner. If the molars are not replaced properly, the old and new teeth are pressed against each other, which can lead to tooth deformities and other dental diseases.
Therefore, elephants need to eat some coarse fiber plants such as bamboo branches on a regular basis, which will help them renew their teeth and maintain oral health. ”
As he spoke, Ping Ping also finished eating the bamboo leaves on this bamboo.
Roll the bamboo pole through your nose, reach to your flank, and tickle yourself!
Netizens were amazed.
"Posture up!"
"It's the first time I've known that elephants eat bamboo!"
"I can eat and play at the same time, and I don't poke the needle!"
