Chapter 640: The Great Vat on the Island
The little swans hurriedly kicked their soles and swam forward as fast as they could to get to the daddy goose.
Then he began to comb his feathers, rub his back against his furry neck, and rub his wings!
When the experienced old mage saw this scene, he immediately perked up, raised his voice and said, "It's time to play in the water!" Splash in the water! ”
Sure enough, the daddy goose took the lead and plunged into the water, cocking his buttocks, only to see his buttocks exposed in the water, and his tail feathers kept swinging.
The little swan also fell headlong!
The whole body of this plant was submerged in the water, and there was not a trace on the surface of the water.
"Well, this won't sink, will it?"
Netizens are a little worried!
The little swans have plunged into the water one after another, some quietly plunged into the head, and some have to kick up a few times with their feet when they enter the water, splashing a few splashes of conspicuous water.
resurfaced one after another, as if nothing had happened, which was a relief.
The old mages were accustomed to such scenes, with smiles on their faces, and the camera kept taking pictures: "Hey, it's beautiful!" ”
"Look at that little guy, he's energetic!"
"Look at this!"
"See, see, see! Pretty! ”
"Liuzi, a single father with a baby, is also good, very responsible, I like Liuzi for this."
"Xiaohu is really, greedy for other people's beauty, a good couple has been demolished, but the goose is not good!"
It's also fun to come and photograph the birds every day.
Watching the graceful flying posture of the swans and watching these lively and cute little guys grow up is indeed a pleasure to be physically and mentally enjoyable.
In addition to taking pictures, you can also chat with like-minded old guys and talk about the parents of these waterfowl.
Another mallard flew over and landed near them.
A little swan, with its upper body straight up like a little penguin, flapped its little short wings and walked two steps in the water, and then plunged into the water, and the peculiar posture of entering the water caused a burst of exclamations from the old mages.
"Principal, when will the little swan fly?"
Fang Ye thought for a while and said, "Well, it's about three months old!" Now these swans are only a month old, and in two months, you should be able to see the little swans lined up to practice flying, and everyone is welcome to come and visit when the time comes.
Speaking of which, we've recently introduced whalehead storks and penguins! I will be able to exhibit it after a while. ”
"Shocked! Shoebill! ”
"Wow, that's amazing! I've always wanted to see the whalehead stork! ”
"There are more and more animals in the zoo, congratulations! In other words, has the director considered introducing some polar animals and making a polar pavilion, what polar bears, arctic foxes, arctic wolves and the like? ”
"I think the arctic fox is good, super cute!"
"Aren't penguins living in Antarctica, isn't it too hot to come to your side?"
"It's okay, the penguin house is indoors, and it's no problem to install air conditioning!"
Fang Ye shook his finger: "Penguins don't all live in the polar regions where the weather is cold, they are distributed in temperate and tropical zones, and the island ring penguins are tropical penguins, living in the equatorial region, the local temperature can be as high as 40 degrees, and they can still survive and reproduce." ”
"It's over, and it exposes the barrenness of my knowledge!"
"Haha, it's okay, I don't know!"
Fang Ye said: "The penguin we introduced is a spot-billed ringed penguin, a temperate penguin that lives in southern Africa! Their optimum temperature is 18 degrees, but 4-26 degrees is acceptable.
Although the weather is hot in the summer, our zoo is located in the suburbs, surrounded by large forests, and the temperature itself is about three degrees cooler than that in the city. In addition, the penguin house has a pool, the temperature in the pool is lower than on land, the pool is equipped with heatstroke spray, and there is a shady rockery made of large stones, so it is completely OK to stay outside.
If the temperature is too high, you can put some ice cubes or something, or go back to the back house to blow the air conditioner, so you don't have to worry about them being too hot to stand.
As for polar bears or something, they won't be raised at the moment! ”
Netizens were puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
Fang Ye explained: "We raise animals, not only to raise animals, but also to collect them in the zoo, but more importantly, to raise them well.
Polar bears live in a world of ice and snow, and when they come here, they either put it indoors and turn on the air conditioner, and they can't see the sun all day long, and the activity space is also very small, so it is easy to produce stereotypical behavior.
Do you think you feel comfortable painting some icebergs and snow scenes on the back wall of the pavilion?
Either give it outside, but polar bears are real polar animals, and temperate penguins can move freely, polar bears can't, and it's still uncomfortable to soak in water to cool down.
The environment on our side is not suitable for polar bears. ”
"Oh, okay~"
Netizens have some regrets.
However, it is also understandable that if you don't raise it well, you won't raise it, which is a manifestation of responsibility to animals.
Everyone likes Linhai Zoo, probably attracted by the warm interaction between Fang Ye and the beasts at first, and then gradually discovered the cuteness and beauty of more animals. In addition to these, there are also deeper things about how humans and animals can live in harmony, the sense of responsibility that humans should have.
It's not just the outer beauty, it's also the inner beauty.
Walking on the shore, I saw that on the island in the distance, there seemed to be something black round and mound, scattered one by one.
Some netizens asked curiously: "Principal, what is this, it looks like a water tank is buried in the ground?" ”
Fang Ye smiled: "It's not like it's like it, it's really a water tank!" ”
"Huh? Is this some kind of abundance? ”
"In addition to swans, we also have mallards and ruddy shelducks on this side of the waterfowl lake.
These water tanks are provided for these ducks and ducks.
In addition to having a hidden space, it can also shelter from the wind and rain to defend against external enemies, and a little hay inside is the perfect breeding nest.
Doesn't that sound beautiful? But the first time this year, a bit of a failure, in the tank laid more than 30 eggs, the number of eggs laid is OK, indicating that the tank is indeed used, but the number of hatching is not much. ”
Fang Ye gestured with his hand: "At that time, I didn't think very well when I put it, I didn't think of getting an inclined angle, some tanks poured in with rain and muddy water, and the eggs were flooded, some eggs did not hatch successfully, and some of the hatchlings that had hatched were also soaked to death." ”
sighed with some regret: "But after all, it's the first time, and I'll have experience when I get it again next year." ”
"It's not easy for a zoo to do well!"
"Indeed, it's too technical! I used to think it was as simple as shoveling and feeding."
Fang Ye walked around the waterfowl lake slowly, and took netizens to enjoy the scenery of waterfowl playing here.
Then snapped his fingers: "Didn't you say you want to see elephants eat durian?" Walking. ”
