Chapter 551: Alpaca Shearing
In May, summer is approaching on the waterfront side, and the weather is getting hotter.
Alpaca house!
As the weather got hotter, Aotian felt uncomfortable all over.
The oblique bangs that used to cover one eye are now almost covered by the other.
I'm inexplicably a little irritable.,Recently, my temper has become more irritable.。
I used to look at the scenery and think about philosophy in the distance, but now I walk around irritably in the activity field, feeling upset and trying to find someone to fight.
Met face-to-face with an alpaca "bucktooth", saw the bucktooth on the opposite side, shook his unruly hair, raised his neck with his eyes exposed, stared at it menacingly, and chewed his mouth: "Baa~~~~"
Isn't it fun to find it? Ah, want to fight, don't you?
From the non-mainstream killing Matt alpaca incarnated to the bad streets.
The bucktooth alpaca, just like its name, is most prominently characterized by its two exposed front teeth, curved upward, one long and one short.
Buckteeth look ugly in human aesthetics, but in fact, alpacas' front teeth are prominent, and fighting during the estrus season is advantageous.
However, although the buck teeth have a pair of "fighting teeth", they are actually a cowardly alpaca.
Seeing Brother Aotian glaring at him fiercely, he suddenly felt a little panicked.
Aotian is the most temperamental alpaca, and the other alpacas have basically been sprayed with saliva.
When the meal was served, Brother Aotian walked in front, and no one else dared to rob it.
Even the keeper respects it for three points, and usually speaks softly to Brother Aotian, for fear of upsetting it and being sprayed with stinky saliva.
After a brief moment of a few seconds in a daze, respectfully stepped aside.
Lowering his head is like saying, big guy, please, big guy, you go first!
Burst!
Brother Aotian snorted twice and walked past Bucktooth, leaving an arrogant back.
At this moment, in the alpaca's activity field, several breeders came over with a large table, and Fang Ye and Blue Carp Meng Shi both came over.
Fang Ye looked at it: "Okay, just let it go!" ”
When Meng Shi first came to the zoo, because of the incompatibility, Jiaojiao and peacocks and other animals blew up when they saw him, and they got along well with alpacas, and raised alpacas for a long time.
So the relationship with the alpacas is still very good, and the relationship has been cultivated.
smiled and touched the head of an alpaca that had just come over next to him, and greeted, "Dabai, how are you doing?" ”
Dabai is a male white alpaca, because it is larger than other alpacas, it is called Dabai!
Although it's big, it doesn't like to fight and fight, and it's a docile alpaca.
When other alpacas come with food, other alpacas will actively come over and even touch their heads to ask them to hand over the food.
Sometimes, when the tourists in the white picture are rushed by other alpacas, they will wait obediently behind, hoping that the tourists will notice them.
Tourists receive very little food, usually given to an alpaca. Dabai was not in a hurry, and when he saw that the food was gone, he walked away slowly.
Anyway, there are a lot of tourists a day, so you won't be able to eat it, and when the other alpacas have eaten enough, it will be its turn, and there will be a breeder to feed it.
The blue carp scratched the big white chin! Among these alpacas, her favorites are Carslan and Dabai.
Da Bai was touched, looking at the table he had just put down, his eyes full of curiosity.
What is this for?
Not only it, but the other alpacas were also curious about the table, and Aotian walked over and licked it at the table, testing what it was.
Fang Ye smiled: "Don't lick it, you can't eat it, this is for you to shear!" ”
glanced at Brother Aotian's bangs covering his eyes: "Hey, your hair is long enough!" I'll give you a hairstyle. ”
Shearing?
Brother Aotian didn't know what it meant, and after licking the table, he found that he couldn't eat it, so he walked away.
Alpacas belong to the camel family and, like their relatives, have a thick, dense body of fluff. This thick fur is easy to use in the winter, allowing them to move freely outside the cage without feeling cold at all.
However, camels can moult themselves in the summer, but alpacas cannot.
In the summer, the thick fur has a poor heat dissipation effect, which may lead to heat stroke in the alpaca, and it is rainy in summer, and the fur is not easy to dry after the rain, and parasites and dermatitis may appear after a long time, which is not good for the health of the alpaca.
So before the summer, you need to take off the "sweater" on their body.
It is not easy to shear a wool for an alpaca, someone has to firmly press it to keep it still, otherwise a move, the shape of the shear is small, and it is very troublesome to shear blood and injury.
So Fang Ye shouted Meng Shi!
This kind of work is most suitable for Meng Shi to appear.
Together with the two breeders on the small farm, the three of them pressed the alpacas, Fang Ye and the blue carp to shear them.
Fang Ye took out the scissors and cut them twice, and the scissors flashed in the sunlight for a cold time.
Dabai felt bad, and quietly pulled his legs and wanted to slip away.
But standing on the edge of Meng Shi, who is the first not to cut it?
Fang Ye pointed at Dabai and said with a smile: "Come, hold it down for me!" ”
Meng Shi, the two breeders agreed in unison: "Okay! ”
Pick up Dabai and put it on the table!
Meng Shi pressed his body, and the other two pressed his legs.
Da Bai's personality is still relatively docile, and he didn't struggle when he was picked up and pressed on the table, but he stared at Fang Ye pitifully with big eyes, "Baa~" and screamed softly.
What is this for?
Raise the scissors and "click" twice!
Fang Ye looked at Da Bai, "Hey, hey, hey" laughed wickedly like a devil: "The first time you shear an alpaca, let's try your hand on you!" I hope I can cut it better! ”
Meng Shi was surprised: "Huh? Principal, I see that you are confident, and I thought you were very skilled in this matter! ”
Fang Ye shrugged: "How is it possible, I only took over the zoo last year." ”
The blue carp took two photos, picked up the scissors, touched Da Bai's head distressedly, and comforted in a soft voice: "Good Da Bai, it's okay, at most, it's just a joke for other alpacas, and I can't find a wife!" ”
Fang Ye laughed: "Are you comforting it or stabbing it?" ”
There was a joke on his lips, saying that it didn't matter if the cut was broken, but his movements were still very careful!
To shear an alpaca, you need to shear it against the skin, but not too close to the skin to avoid shearing.
The fader is efficient, but Fang Ye is not a professional shearer, and if he uses the fader to do this kind of operation, he may accidentally hurt the alpaca, so it is better to use scissors.
The wool that has grown for a year is thick and dense, and you can't see where the skin is.
Fang Ye first touched his hand to Da Bai's back, his fingers determined the position of the skin, put the scissors down, and cut them twice with a click.
As soon as he pulled it, a long white fluff suddenly fell down one after another.
