"Come on, eh, why did it fall again."

"Haha, Yazi who doesn't look very smart!"

"The long beak of the crested ibis looks like a pair of chopsticks."

"Well, it feels like using chopsticks to pick soybeans, and it's still quite difficult."

The two loli watched the crested ibis eat loaches, watched it with relish, and commented from time to time.

What kind of show do you need to come to the zoo to see the animals? The natural behavior of animals is the best show.

Of course, tourists also need to be patient to wait and observe, and it is natural to feel bored when you visit the flowers.

At this time, several more crested ibises glided from a distance with their wings raised.

"Ahh

While flying, it makes a high-pitched and melodious chirp.

Tang Xiaoxin's eyes suddenly widened, and she wanted to marvel and cover her mouth again, afraid that the sound would be too loud and scare them away!

The oncoming crested ibis, with its wide wings spread, the edges of its wings are bright white like pearls, followed by a touch of orange-red, as if it has been dyed with light pink peach blossoms and red rouge, elegant and charming.

Illuminated by the sun, it emits a faint red light, and it seems that several elves are dancing under the blue sky!

Landing on the ground, his wings retracted, and he regained his dusty appearance.

Pacing in the shallows with his companions, rummaging through the loaches hidden in the mud with his beak.

Tang Xiaoxin exhaled a breath and said happily: "Eh, it's so beautiful!" ”

Qian Keke came back to her senses and was excited: "When they flew over just now, I was stunned!" ”

A tourist wearing a hat next to him looked at the crested ibis and seemed to sigh.

He said to his companions: "Have you seen "The Last Words of the Crested Ibis"? ”

The companion shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it!" ”

The man in the hat said, "I just bought the book a while ago!" It tells a story about the history of the extinction of the crested ibis in Japan.

The protagonist's name is Chunxiong.,Usually the biggest hobby is to look for and observe the crested ibis.,But the number of crested ibises in Japan is very small.,And the character is very vigilant.,It's rare to see.,And then I did a series of surveys about the crested ibis.。

The crested ibis used to be caught and eaten and made into handicrafts from its feathers. During the war, people cut down trees on a large scale and burned them into charcoal, and the habitat of the crested ibis was also greatly reduced.

Haruo's investigation of the Japanese crested ibises seems to be only a few dozen, and there are very few anyway.

By the time we pay attention to it, it will be too late to protect it. There is also a debate about whether to protect the crested ibis' habitat in situ or to capture them and raise them in captivity. The first few individuals in captivity all died.

And that will bring about a series of environmental problems due to the rapid development of Japan's economy, you know Minamata disease, right? A crested ibis died less than a year after it was captured and raised, and the body was dissected and found to have high concentrations of pesticides and mercury in its body.

When the last five were left, the Japanese government decided to arrest them all and breed them in captivity. As a result, they failed to breed successfully, and they all died without leaving any offspring. ”

The companion sighed a little sadly: "Eh~ A lot of animals have disappeared unconsciously, and I heard that giraffes are now endangered." Should the domestic crested ibis be okay? ”

The man in the hat said: "Actually, our crested ibis is also very critical, the number of which dropped sharply at that time, and it has not been recorded for decades. I searched for three years to find it in Yangxian, and when I found it, there were only 7 left!

There are only seven lone seedlings left, and they may become extinct after a year or two without being discovered, you think about it. ”

The companion couldn't help but ask, "Lucky enough!" How many are there now? ”

"Now there are 5,000 of them!"

The companion said sincerely: "Amazing, what a miracle!" ”

The man in the hat said: "We have learned the lesson of the Japanese crested ibis and protected their habitat in situ.

Pesticides and fertilizers are forbidden in the local fields, mines are no longer allowed to mine, and a certain amount of paddy fields are reserved for the crested ibises to feed in winter, so that the crested ibis population can reproduce and grow again.

There was also a news before, saying that he was sentenced to ten years for killing a crested ibis with a slingshot, and you think about how strong this protection is. ”

"Tsk, you deserve it!"

The two little loli were on the side, and when they heard that the number of crested ibises had grown from 7 to 5,000, they couldn't help but be excited!

This is a legendary history of the species.

In fact, next to the crested ibis exhibition area, there are several display boards that introduce this!

It's also a remarkable case for conservation around the world.

The above is introduced in more detail, in addition to the miraculous history of the revival of the crested ibis, there are also the changes they have brought to Yangxian County, and the hidden sorrows behind the miracle.

After all, they were all bred from those 7 animals, and there is very little genetic diversity, so they cannot adapt to the complex environment, and the prosperity of the population is actually very fragile, and it is possible that a large-scale infectious disease will all die.

Outside, in the shallows, a few crested ibises finished feeding, flapped their wings and flew into the trees.

The two of them stood next to each other on a branch, their necks were entwined, and they used their beaks to help each other sort of hair, and they looked like a loving couple.

A single crested ibis stares at them intently, as if envious!

The crested ibis couple were stared at for a long time, and of course they noticed this scene and looked at each other.

Wife, the young man on the other side has been staring at you, do you feel any bad thoughts?

Husband, don't worry, I only love you one!

Come on, let's show it affection! Let it know that we are stronger than Jin!

Suddenly, the male crested ibis jumped on the back of the female.

Qian Keke immediately became excited: "Hey, are they going to mate!" ”

Tang Xiaoxin wondered, "Isn't it?" The mating period should have passed. ”

I saw the male crested ibis spreading his wings on the back of the female crested ibis, fanning one by one rhythmically, swinging his tail back and forth, and at the same time his head was lowered, swaying from side to side, and his long beak was thrown wildly.

The female crested ibis also cooperates with it, her head dangling, and the two crested ibises touch their beaks as if they are kissing fiercely.

The young crested ibis, who watched them, turned their heads in shame!

The male crested ibis jumped back onto the trunk of the tree, folded his wings, and looked at the female affectionately.

The two crested ibises then leaned slightly outward at the same time in tacit agreement, raised their heads gracefully while keeping in sync, opened their beaks and chirped.

Tourists in the vicinity, although the species are not the same, naturally understand the meaning of this move!

"Wow, they're showing affection?"

"Damn, a bird will be fed a mouthful of dog food!"

"It's amazing!"

After watching the crested ibis playing, Tang Xiaoxin and the others walked around the crane pavilion again.

On the red-crowned crane square, melodious music is played on the radio, accompanied by cranes flying in the lake, which looks beautiful.

"There is also a flock of red-crowned cranes, flying softly, gently~"

When visitors stand in front of the statue and check out the deeds of the red-crowned crane girl, the music suddenly sounds, which is still very tear-jerking.

Tang Xiaoxin asked the keeper curiously: "Which red-crowned crane flew to the Tiger Pavilion a while ago?" ”

The keeper pointed to a red-crowned crane in the water, which was majestic and high-spirited, walking with wings outstretched, looking left and right: "Oh, that's it!" ”

I thought I would go to the Tiger Pavilion, but I might get sick under stress if I was frightened, and I opened a small stove for it.

As a result, I don't know if Fang Ye's appeasement effect is too good, after coming back, he seems to feel that he is invincible in the world, and he walks with style and arrogance, and everyone wants to fight!
