Yan Ganghui was dumbfounded: "Good guy, such a big watermelon, the elephant easily picked it up with his trunk!" ”

Su Hui was amazed by the elephant's cleverness: "Wow, it's amazing, and you know how to step on it and eat it!" ”

Bobo's strength in stepping on the watermelon is very measured!

Let the watermelon crack, but it won't become runny and inconvenient to eat.

Rolled up and dripping with juice, revealing a sweet red soil, the half-pulled watermelon was first brought to the mouth, chewed a little twice, and then the whole was delivered to the mouth, and the mouth moved and chewed slowly.

Covered with wrinkles, the eyes of the old dragon clock were squinted, and he seemed to enjoy it.

Put it in your mouth, put your nose in and suck it, like a person who wants to smack his fingers after eating potato chips.

Eating a watermelon in summer to quench the heat and quench your thirst is still very pleasant.

"Hardcore eats melons!"

"Eating a big watermelon is the same as eating a date!"

"Wow, do you eat all the watermelon rinds?"

"Of course! There's nothing you can't eat for an elephant. ”

"Worthy of an elephant!"

Tourists were chattering with each other.

Someone smiled and asked, "Principal, is this melon ripe?" ”

Fang Ye smiled: "I open a zoo, can I give raw melons and eggs to elephants?" ”

After giving Bobo the watermelon, he took out another one from the bag and handed it to Pingping, Meiling would have already eaten the watermelon deliciously, and by the way, she also took one for Meilan, and she would start eating the second one, which was not polite at all.

Seeing Meiling eating watermelon with her nose pulling the bag, ready to eat the third, Fang Ye was speechless: "You are eating in the bowl, looking at the pot!" An elephant is just two melons, and your share has been eaten! ”

He patted Meiling's nose and took the bag away.

Meiling hesitated for a moment to grab it forcibly, but after thinking about it, forget it!

Originally, he was still quite short-tempered in the elephant camp, and he didn't have a good impression of humans.

Now after coming to the zoo, the activity field is also open, you can walk freely in it, no one pokes her with a sharp elephant hook, this is not good, that is not good, there are sand pit mud baths and various enrichment projects to relieve boredom, and you can also stay with your good friend Meilan at any time.

In addition, a spiritual recovery pill will be mixed with the daily feed, and gradually the resentment has dissipated a lot, and the temper is not so short-tempered.

Every time Fang Ye came over, he also brought them something delicious. Didn't really want to hurt him.

So he opened his mouth, whispered at Meilan, stomped his feet, and motioned to go to the event together after eating.

Meilan glanced at Meiling, her nose stretched out and shook Fang Ye, and the two elephants gradually walked into the distance.

Meiling walked to the edge of a dirty hollow iron ball, circled the ball flexibly with her nose, and pushed it for a while.

It's a toy she's loved lately!

It turned out that there was a tire in the activity field, and it was also kicked by an elephant to play, but Meiling sat on it and directly crushed the tire.

Recently, I made a durable iron ball for them to play with.

Kicked lightly with his foot again, and the iron ball suddenly rolled up on the sand, rolling towards Meilan, and Meilan also kicked it.

It's like playing football, it's mainly Meiling who is kicking, the sand is flying, and she has a lot of fun.

"Elephants can also play football!"

"It's so cute!"

Ping Ping watched Meiling play football, as if she wanted to play with her, and glanced at Fang Ye.

Fang Ye smiled: "Pingping, I'll play again when I come back, this will give you a foot trim!" ”

He said to the tourists: "I don't know if you have ever seen an elephant pedicure?" ”

Tourists shook their heads with curiosity!

"Do elephants still need pedicures? It's really strange, the first time I've heard of it! ”

"Why do you want to give an elephant a pedicure?"

Fang Ye said: "Everyone knows that elephants are the largest land mammals in the world! An adult Asian elephant weighing 3-4 tons.

For such a large behemoth, all their weight is pressed on their limbs and four legs, and the health of their feet is very, very important, and it can be said that the slightest carelessness can lead to disaster.

The elephant's feet look like a large foot plate, but in fact, its foot structure is very fine, with sponge-like tissue inside, which can absorb the huge pressure from the elephant's body when walking or standing.

The dense nervous tissue can help the elephant accurately perceive the ground and finely coordinate the state of the limbs.

Just as our human nails will grow longer, so will the toenails of elephants, and the soles of our feet will gradually grow dead skin.

If you don't take care of it for a long time, the dead skin is too thick, the nerve perception becomes insensitive, you can't feel the pressure and coordinate the limbs well when walking, the toenails are too long, and the elephant seems to be walking on tiptoe, which is very awkward.

In this way, the force on the joints is uneven, and for a long time, it will cause deformation and pain of the joints, which will bring pain to the elephant.

That's why we're giving elephants pedicures! ”

One tourist asked, "Then why don't wild elephants need pedicures?" ”

Fang Ye smiled: "It's very simple, wild elephants need to find food and water, they walk many times every day, and the growth and wear of their soles and nails are in a state of balance.

But elephants in captivity walk a lot less. The sand in our playground, combined with all kinds of abundance, keeps the elephants walking around and moving, just to increase the chance of their natural wear and tear on the soles of their feet.

We are the same, we evolved from monkeys, we used to live in trees, and our fingernails naturally wear out when we climb trees every day. I inherited this amount of wear, but now I don't have a place to wear it, so I need to cut my nails frequently. ”

The examples are very simple and easy to understand, and everyone understands them.

Some tourists look at their nails and think, it turns out that this is the case, I have never thought about why nails keep growing!

Fang Ye said: "This will take Pingping to get a pedicure, if you are interested, you can follow along to the nursing center to have a look, that is the nursing center." ”

touched Pingping's nose and beckoned: "Pingping, come!" ”

Walk in front and follow behind you obediently!

Su Hui was very interested: "Let's go, this meeting can't be missed!" ”

……

When Ping Ping came to the care center, the radio near the elephant house was also broadcast: "Hello tourists, the director is preparing to give the elephant a pedicure at this time, and I want to know how to give the elephant a pedicure, what the elephant's feet look like?"

If you're curious, you can come to the elephant care center and watch it together......"

Tourists walk outside and need to take a detour and come slowly.

The outside of the elephant care center is a railing, which is transparent and easy for tourists to visit, and the roof is shady, which looks very magnificent.

After a while, seeing that the tourists were almost here, Fang Ye clapped his hands and beckoned to the breeder Xiao Kong: "Okay, let's start!" ”

There are also some thin slashes between the two erect thick railings to prevent the elephant from sticking its trunk out, and a rectangular opening is left in the middle, with a height of about 50 cm.

Xiao Kong held a slender target stick, pointed at his flat left foot, and pointed at the railing again!

Seeing this, Ping Ping first stretched out his nose, made a small mistake, consciously retracted his nose, and put his left foot up.
