Chapter 647: Bamboo Blossoms
After cutting the cake, the quiz activity began!
The docents were scattered in different parts of the venue, and there were many visitors in front of each person.
After talking about the rules of the game, he asked: "When you look at the pandas in our zoo, are they a little different from the black and white pandas you imagined, and they don't look very clean?" Do you know why? ”
Some tourists had tangled expressions for a while, thinking about this question, and some people quickly raised their hands!
Liu Xueqing's eyes lit up, she would do this question! I happened to hear from the docent when I came here once.
But the hand was a little slower.
The narrator's eyes swept around, pointed to a girl who was waving her hand around, and said with a smile: "Girl in yellow, you can answer!" ”
The girl rushed to raise her hand just now, and then she thought about it, and after thinking about it, she replied, "It should be a personality problem!" Maybe like us humans, some pandas prefer to be clean, while others are more sloppy. The pandas on the camera are all pandas who love cleanliness. ”
The narrator shook his head: "No~"
"Isn't that right?"
The girl didn't have too much regrets, because she was casually blinded.
A boy in blue said, "Maybe it's because the panda is too lazy to take a bath?" ”
"That's not right!"
"Huh?"
The boy scratched his head suspiciously, looking quite confident in this answer.
"The panda's tongue can't lick behind it!"
"Because the keepers don't bathe them!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this answer, everyone laughed with joy.
Liu Xueqing replied: "Because the panda's fur is dirty, it is good for their health, and it is a natural layer of protection that can block parasites!" Too clean will make the panda's immunity decrease, so they won't bathe them often. ”
The narrator smiled and said, "Correct!" Give you a raffle ticket, is there anyone else to add? ”
"Oh~"
"Quack chirp~"
The tourists next to him applauded.
An uncle replied: "Because the natural state of pandas is like this, usually rolling in the dirt, the body will be dirty." ”
Some people originally thought, isn't this nonsense, but they didn't expect the narrator to nod and actually approve of this answer!
I was amazed for a while.
"Correct! Whether it's a panda or a lion or a tiger, they don't live for humans, a little dirty and muddy may not look so good to us humans, but the natural state is their best state. ”
Ying Ying will eat the cake on the side of the glass curtain wall, while looking at the panda without blinking, Ying Ying's father squatted down to help her hold the cake.
Everyone else is a small piece, and the cake in the Yingying tray is the size of a thief, and it also comes with a full panda-shaped cream.
Because of Fang Ye's advice, the volunteers deliberately cut her a little more.
There are quite a lot of people who can watch pandas, Liu Xueqing got the lottery ticket, and she didn't rush back to find Yingying and them, and walked around alone in the panda pavilion!
When I came to the upper floor of the panda pavilion, I suddenly heard a familiar melody.
A gentle and kind female voice sang softly:
"The bamboo blossoms and feeds, and Mimi lies in her mother's arms and counts the stars.
The stars, the stars are so beautiful, where is tomorrow's breakfast? ”
Hearing this song, Liu Xueqing seems to have returned to her childhood!
When she was young, her mother sang this song to coax her to sleep, and in a blink of an eye, she was already old and young.
I couldn't help but walk in the direction of the song.
Fang Ye will be surrounded by people, and the music is what he plays.
Many of the older tourists looked nostalgic when they listened, and some even hummed softly.
"Mimi, Mimi, please believe that we have not forgotten you.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and tomorrow's breakfast is in the bottom of my heart. ”
This is a fond memory that belongs to a generation.
Although the young tourists have never heard it, they are attracted by the beautiful and gentle melody and listen quietly.
When the song ended, they sighed.
"At that time, many pandas starved to death when bamboo blossomed, which is the background of the creation of this song!"
"The previous charity songs were so good!"
"When I was a child, my mother didn't tell me clearly, I thought it was the one who sang, Mimi was so pitiful, and when I grew up, I knew that it was the panda who sang."
"The first time I heard it, I cried."
Fang Ye smiled: "Everyone should have heard this song!" If you haven't heard of it, you should have heard the story of bamboo flowering.
In the 80s of the last century, many nature reserves have successively appeared in a large area of arrows and bamboos flowering and dying. Arrow bamboo is the main food of giant pandas, and giant pandas are in danger of survival due to food shortages.
The stars are so beautiful, I don't know how many pandas like 'Mimi' are in the wild at that time, and I don't know where tomorrow's breakfast is.
According to the "Emergency Report on Rescuing Giant Pandas", there were many deaths of giant pandas because of the large-scale death of arrows and bamboos, and 138 corpses were found after investigation.
According to the description of the rescuers at the time, the hungry giant pandas could only drink the water in the river, and many giant pandas were strangled to death. There are also many hungry and dying giant pandas, who go to the homes of villagers and eat whatever they can eat, even sheep.
After the report, it caused a great response, and a vigorous upsurge of saving giant pandas was set off in China, including a lot of support from the international community. ”
"Oh, that's pathetic."
"I'm glad they've been protected! Otherwise, I won't be able to see the cute pandas today. ”
Fang Ye said again: "However, what happened to the giant panda at that time actually has little to do with the blossoming of bamboo!" ”
When the tourists heard this, they were all shocked, this is different from what they knew before!
"Really?"
Fang Ye explained: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: 'Bamboo grows flowers, and it withers in its years'.
Bamboo flowering is a normal natural phenomenon, most bamboos bloom every 15-120 years and die after flowering.
Bamboo flowering has a certain periodicity, and there will be large patches of bamboo that die synchronously.
However, there are more than 30 kinds of bamboo that giant pandas usually eat, and the arrow bamboo has bloomed, and there are other bamboos to eat, not to mention that different kinds of bamboo also bloom together.
In fact, if you think about it, giant pandas have survived for millions of years, and I don't know how many times bamboo blooms in the middle.
If it were really because of a single bamboo flowering that would die on a large scale, such a fragile animal that could not withstand the twists and turns would have disappeared in the long river of history and would not have appeared in front of us.
Every creature that has survived until now is a strong man who has survived the test of nature and is very resilient! ”
Liu Xueqing couldn't help asking: "That's not the bamboo flowering that makes the panda starve to death, what is the reason?" ”
