Chapter 644: Improving the Native Exhibition Area

The gibbon's first microphone connection ended successfully!

Wanting my cousin to move more than ten kilometers with the love song is obviously not something that can be solved with a phone call.

It's like human online dating, it takes at least a few months from online dating to Benxian, and it's impossible to just chat once and fly over.

The next plan is to let the two apes slowly make porridge on the phone and cultivate their relationship.

Fang Ye, on his side, also began to get busy with other things.

August 22 is Cloud's birthday!

Get ready for a panda's birthday party. Zhuangzhuang's birthday is in September, and it is too troublesome to separate twice, so I will spend it together.

Animals don't know what a birthday is, so they just have something to eat.

Strong: ?????

For other animals to celebrate their birthdays, it is generally enough to give a birthday cake, such as Jiaojiao's birthday, Fang Ye used to send a meat cake made of pork rolls and chicken thighs.

As a national treasure among the flagship species, the panda is eye-catching in every move, so it will be celebrated.

Of course, it's not just a birthday celebration. Like other festivals in the zoo, it can attract visitors to the zoo to play, and at the same time carry out some related science popularization, so that visitors can learn knowledge in entertainment and improve everyone's awareness of conservation.

It just so happens that the children will start school in September, so they can come to the zoo for one last time before school starts.

At the gate of the zoo, on the square, put some panda balloons to add to the festive atmosphere.

The cake for the panda is made of bamboo, and each bamboo tube is combined into the shape of a cake, which can be arranged in three layers, which is a little more magnificent.

Put some fresh bamboo leaves in the middle of the bamboo tube, put watermelon and apples and other fruits, it is a delicious and luxurious cake.

We also prepare a cream cake for human eaters, and everyone happily sings the birthday song and eats the cake with the panda, and the two happiness are superimposed together, and you can reap greater happiness.

Then there is the quiz with prizes, which is also an activity that Linhai Zoo has every festival, this time the question is of course about pandas, and the prizes are also panda-related puppets, stickers, shirts, badges and other souvenirs.

Panda souvenirs are usually very popular, often the fastest selling, I believe that everyone must be very active in this event!

The grand prize is an oversized panda puppet that is 2 meters tall, and if you can draw this panda puppet, you can experience what it's like to sleep with a panda in your arms.

Originally, I thought about whether to let the docent of the panda pavilion wear panda costumes to make the children have more fun, but I still think about it.

It's very tiring to explain and deal with children's curious questions, and it's too hard to wear a panda costume again.

In addition to the panda's birthday party, there is also the construction of a local exhibition area.

Fang Ye pondered how to make the local exhibition area look more natural and more rustic.

After thinking about it, I got a small farm yard as the core of the exhibition area.

The background of the small courtyard is a traditional earthen stove in the countryside!

A log lid is placed on top of the large stove, and firewood can be added to the space below.

Hang a bamboo sieve on the wall, put some old brooms, pickle jars, broken bowls and other props in the corner, smoke and blackened walls, paste a portrait of the god of the stove, say good deeds from heaven, and accept auspiciousness on the ground, which makes people recall the life in the countryside at a glance.

In such an environment, raising a black-browed snake is a very common non-venomous snake.

It may be hiding by the edge of the stove, or hiding between the vegetable jar and the gap between the wall, and it takes a lot of effort to find it.

Because the remnants of food often attract mice, and the residual temperature of firewood can also promote the metabolism of snakes, black-browed snakes can often be seen in the firewood piles in rural areas, and entering the firewood pile is a way for them to keep warm.

Such an environment raises a black-browed snake, and the atmosphere of the countryside is strong!

It is hoped that the living environment of the exhibition area can break the fear of snakes and provoke thinking among visitors.

How should humans and animals get along in the same space? Do you need to be scared when you see a snake? What is the correct way to deal with it, or is it just killed without saying a word?

In front of it is a large area of farmland, and then in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, after the vines climbing, eggplant and various vegetables hang down the corridor, I inadvertently glimpse the figure of porcupines carrying food.

When I came to the warehouse behind where the grain was stored, I saw bundles of straw stalks tied up and neatly arranged, as if they were ready to be fed to the cattle and sheep.

There are foxes poking their heads out between the granaries, frolicking and chasing, sometimes jumping on high walls and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Then there are wild boars in the groves in the back mountains, rolling in mud ponds, sticky with mud, and otters playing next to the creek pond.

In this way, the exhibition area as a whole is combined, expanding from the small courtyard in the countryside to the surrounding mountains, forests and streams.

Another focus is the otter exhibit.

In order to make the appearance of the exhibition area look natural, you have to go through the underground passage to see the underwater view.

There are three types of otters in China, namely the small-clawed otter, the Eurasian otter and the river otter!

Domestic otters used to be very widely distributed, and it can be said that they can be found wherever there is water.

But around the 50s of the last century, after a large number of commercial killings, tens of thousands of otter pelts were exported every year, and the otters suffered a catastrophe, which is now difficult to see.

Later, the establishment of the domestic wildlife protection law, the otters were treated as second-class protected animals, but they could not save their fate, and the population continued to decline.

The river otter has not been heard from for decades and may have become extinct.

In addition to the Tibetan Plateau, the population of the Eurasian otter has completely disappeared in many provinces, and there are still a few distributions in some eastern and southern provinces, but the population has generally declined by 80%-90%, which can be said to be endangered, while the small-clawed otter has only been recorded in protected areas such as Yunnan.

The infrared camera previously deployed in the field captured the figure of the Eurasian otter.

However, the otter exhibit introduces small-clawed otters.

Because most of the Eurasian otters are solitary and are deep nocturnal animals, they only come out at night and hide during the day, which is not a good display animal.

Domestic zoos basically raise small-clawed otters, which are socialized animals, group activities, and good ornamentation. Keeping Eurasian otters is very rare.

It's not impossible to substitute animals, such as the blue peacock raised in the zoo, and the green peafowl by the way.

As a local exhibition area, this part needs to be explained clearly to tourists.

Are there really wild otters in the waterfront? What kind of otter is there? Where do they live, how many of them exist, are the populations increasing or decreasing, or have they disappeared? Since we have Eurasian otters on our side, why do we raise small-clawed otters?

Tell visitors about the history and current situation of the native animals, and their future is in the hands of their own generation, so that the clues of the native animals are in place.
