Chapter 529: Jiaojiao Goes to the Tree

After everyone's doubts were answered, Fang Ye smiled again: "I just said that the tiger is rubbing fast on the tree, let's show you!" ”

The tourists were excited: "I haven't seen a tiger climb a tree yet!" ”

"I watched it once when I came back last time, and I forgot to shoot a video, so I have to remember it this time!"

After calling Meng Shi to say, Meng Shi went backstage to get a piece of meat and came to the balcony above the second floor of the Tiger Pavilion.

The meat is packed in a sack, hung on a hook, and slowly rotated by operating a pulley mechanism.

I saw a sack dangling in the air, and it moved towards the ten-meter-high tree trunk in the grass area of the exhibition area.

There is a loop of rope around the trunk of the tree, which is easy for the tiger to climb and wrap on.

You can see the side with the pulley attached, because the tiger often climbs, and there are many signs of wear on the rope.

Jiaojiao was lying on the edge of the waterhole and licking her paws lazily, but after a while, she seemed to smell something suddenly.

The mouth opened slightly, sniffed the smell, looked in the direction of the grass, saw the sack, and suddenly amber eyes lit up.

Rising from the waterhole, he walked calmly towards the trunk of the tree.

After taking a few steps, he turned into a trotting posture, and when he was almost in front of the trunk, he jumped lightly and pounced.

With a flick of the front paws and a kick of the back heels, the front and rear paws alternately moved, and in less than two seconds, they climbed to the top of the tree trunk flexibly and quickly, and the thick unicorn arm wrapped around the trunk, showing off their muscles.

Raise your head and bite the sack and pull it down, and make a lot of effort with the sack.

When tourists saw this scene, whether it was the first time they saw it or not, they couldn't help but exclaim!

"Wow!!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"It's too fast to climb a tree, faster than I can run!"

"It's like running on a tree!"

"Newton, hurry up and take care of it!"

"Damn, such a tall tree trunk can go up in a few steps, it's a little scary!"

"I went up in two seconds, and I don't think I can climb up in two minutes......"

"When I was a child, I listened to stories, and when the cat taught the tiger skills, I kept one hand, and I didn't teach it to climb the tree, and I believed it for many years."

"It's pretty handsome to see a leopard climbing a tree before, if a tiger runs on a tree, a leopard flies on a tree."

Fang Ye said: "Isn't it fast?" The tiger's sharp claws can be easily embedded in the bark of trees, helping them to pick up trees! In fact, lions can also climb trees, but they are not as good as tigers.

Everyone looks at Jiaojiao's vigorous posture and toned figure.

How to tell if a tiger is healthy or not, ideally the fur is well groomed, the eyes are bright, and the contours of the muscles can be seen.

If the body is thin and you can't see the muscles, the fur is dull and sloppy, and the eyes are sunken, it may be that you are deducting food or you are sick, of course, the zoo is generally not bad at this food cost, and it is more likely that you have a disease, such as an inbred South China tiger.

If there is fat in the abdomen, there is no obvious boundary in the shoulders, abdomen, and hip bones, which is relatively fat, and if you are too fat, it is not good, and cardiovascular and joint diseases may occur.

In captivity, there are not as many opportunities for activities in the wild, so in order to keep the tigers physically and mentally healthy, we will also do some enrichment, add some obstacles to their access to food, and exercise in the process of obtaining food. ”

In some zoos, tigers climb trees as an entertainment project, and a small piece of meat is hung on the rope, and the meat is still dangling, and a bunch of tigers are watching below, purely playing with tigers.

It's also a lot of fun, but tourists certainly don't think so.

In the Linhai Zoo, this kind of enrichment that hangs meat on the trunk of a tree is not every day, and it is rotated like other enrichment projects. At the same time, the keeper will also explain the meaning of abundance to the visitors.

As she spoke, Jiaojiao tore off the sack and put it in her mouth, turned her head to look down, moved down a little, then bent her body, quickly changed her front paws, and kicked her front paws together with her hind feet on the trunk, and her arms were extended.

Like an athlete diving, he jumped gracefully from the air.

With a sack in his mouth and his tail floating behind, he landed steadily on the grass.

Tourists can't help but clap and applaud!

"It's so handsome! It's handsome! ”

"If you participate in the Olympics, you will definitely win several gold medals."

"It's my favorite tiger."

The sorbet followed Jiaojiao's ass and ran over, looking at it below, and wanted a piece of the pie!

After Jiaojiao pulled the sack down, she pressed it with one paw, bit and tore the sack with her sharp teeth, and quickly tore the sack open.

A few pieces of meat fell out of it!

The sorbet poked his head, squeezed it to Jiaojiao's mouth, picked up a piece, and ate it.

Jiaojiao glanced at the sorbet, but didn't say anything.

In her eyes, sorbet is still a little tiger.

Otherwise, even if it is a friend or a brother, if he tears off the meat, he will take it aside and eat it, and he will not share it.

The keepers will also place food separately in the arena so that each tiger can find something to eat on its own and avoid fighting.

Fang Ye couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.

When I was about to leave, another tourist chased after me, it was the girl with a ponytail just now.

Ponytail said: "Principal, I still have questions!" ”

Fang Ye said kindly: "Say! ”

Ponytail said: "Some people on the Internet are particularly annoying, even if you say that tigers are not dangerous as long as they know the right way to get along, they resolutely disagree with coexisting with tigers, saying that they want to release the tiger and let you go to your house and let the Virgin Mary raise it." How would you explain this kind of person? ”

Fang Ye smiled: "This is normal, in fact, there is nothing to explain.

We usually talk about biodiversity, but people are also diverse. For example, I once said in the wolf house that wolves can't eat people if they are fine, and they don't need to be afraid when they see them in the wild, and they can even say hello.

Someone you explain that he can accept and understand, and someone whose impression is ingrained and will not change easily.

But whether you want to accept it or not, coexisting with animals is an objective fact.

It's not that humans have set aside a place, a protected area, and say that this is the territory of your animals, and the animals will stay there honestly, not close to humans.

Nature is not customized by human beings, as long as there is water, forests, and shrubs where people live, raccoon dogs, wild boars, foxes, tigers, and even elephants will appear near human beings, which is the law of nature. Typing on the keyboard, feeling dangerous, and not wanting to get along with them, doesn't change that fact.

Like wild boars, there are many in Barcelona and Berlin, thousands of them, how to do it, kill them all, can you kill them all? If you don't kill it, it will spread around you, what if you kill the ecological environment? A lot of countries, a lot of cities, are accepting a certain level of coexistence. ”
