Chapter 656: Red Panda High-Fives
"Wow, this big tail, it's so beautiful!"
"The scales seem to be glittering!"
"Fairy!"
The white-bellied golden pheasant tilted its head and stared at the tourists with its eyes blazing.
If you look closely, you can see that it also has a lock of red hair on the top of its head.
The tail feathers are white scales and black-edged dark lines, with a few vermilion embellishments.
White as clouds, black as ink, and the blue feather color scheme is subtle and convergent, which has a feeling of walking out of a landscape painting.
A few white-bellied golden pheasants strolled and pecked with their heads down, and crowed softly twice, as if to remind their companions, and their voices were hoarse, like the "squeak" of an old wooden door.
A little fluffy squirrel will stay on the stump, stand on the edge of the stump, bow its head and steal the crushed corn spilled by the keeper, and its mouth will move and eat with relish.
Seeing a white-bellied golden pheasant squatting and kicking, he jumped up lightly, and hurriedly ran down from the stump.
Liu Wei asked: "Senior sister, do you like white-bellied golden chicken or red-bellied golden chicken?" ”
Amamiya smiled, "Of course I like them all!" ”
I thought about it: "If I have to say which one I prefer, it may still be white-bellied brocade**!" Don't you think that this blue-blue-white feather color is like elegant blue and white porcelain? ”
Liu Wei looked at the white-bellied golden chicken a few more times: "Listening to you say this, it's indeed a bit like it!" ”
"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful bird, today is really an eye-opener!"
When I came out of Jinji Forest, I came to the Red Panda Pavilion!
"Oh, kawaii!"
Amamiya was so happy that he ran to the back of the sign that raised his hand to demonstrate the red panda, and his face was revealed from behind, with a bright smile: "Senior, help me take a picture!" ”
Liu Wei gestured: "OK!" ”
I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to have such a childish side.,Isn't this thing for children to play with.。
Amamiya didn't think so, so he took a few photos and sent them back to his friends in Japan, who must not die of envy.
The Japanese are especially fond of pandas.
Entering the Red Panda Pavilion, there will not be many tourists, more than a dozen people.
Guan Shan took a headset and smiled with the tourists: "Hello everyone! Today I will show you the behavior training we usually give to red pandas.
When it comes to behavioral training, you may immediately think of circus performances, such as a tiger jumping a ring of fire, an elephant on its hind feet or something.
However, the purpose of the zoo's behavioral training is not to let the animals perform circus, but to let them cooperate when checking their bodies, follow the guidance of the keepers to move, and not be afraid of injections, etc., to ensure the health and welfare of the animals.
Take the red panda as an example, during the breeding period, you need to do B ultrasound to see if you are pregnant, make sure that you are pregnant before you can prepare the delivery room, adjust the nutritional combination of food, and only by training well in advance can you ensure that the B ultrasound is carried out smoothly. ”
Guan Shan took out a clicker: "What you need to do behavior training is this clicker and my hands!" Like this. ”
"Click" pressed it.
"This is a signal to the red panda that it is doing the right thing! If you do it right, you will give the red panda some food rewards, and in this way guide the red panda to make the right moves.
Today my partner is chestnut and I'm going to bring it out. ”
When Guan Shan went to the back house, Liu Wei said to Yugong Xin: "We came here very coincidentally today!" I've only seen parrots before, and I've never seen a red panda's behavior training demonstration. ”
"Wow, we're so lucky."
After a while, Guan Shan and another assistant keeper came out with chestnuts and came to the open space at the entrance of the Red Panda Pavilion.
The chestnut was behind Guan Shan's legs, looking around!
Amamiya Shin looked at the chestnut's beautiful face, butterfly-like ears, brown-red fur, long fluffy tail, and shiny eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Kawaii! Kawaine! ”
Squatting on the ground, the camera "clicks" and shoots non-stop!
The assistant breeder maintained order and said: "Everyone, please spread out a little, don't get too close, and bring psychological pressure to the chestnuts!" ”
Everyone obediently pulled away two or three meters away.
The red panda is still a relatively timid and vigilant animal, although it is now accustomed to seeing tourists and can come out for a walk, but it is still a bit difficult to do behavioral training under the gaze of tourists.
Therefore, only when the weather is not hot when the park has just opened, there are fewer tourists, and the red panda is in a good mood, will the training demonstration be carried out.
Guan Shan took out a small piece of apple from her pocket: "The reward for training is a sweet and delicious apple!" ”
Amamiya raised his hand and asked curiously, "Why are there so few?" ”
Guan Shan said: "If you give too much at one time, the red panda will lose interest in food temptation when it is satisfied, so it is more efficient to train in small quantities and many times."
Of course, in addition to the food, the most important thing in the training process is the trust and cooperation of the animals!
We need to train in as relaxed a way as possible, and if the animals don't want to, we won't force them to avoid boredom in the next training. ”
Guan Shan squatted down, smiled at the chestnuts and shouted, "Chestnuts! It's time to train. ”
Chestnut was originally sniffing a small flower on the edge of the lawn, and when she heard Guan Shan greeting her, she walked to her lap very obediently!
Guan Shan stretched out her hand and raised it flatly: "Come, stand tall!" ”
Chestnut's front paws lifted off the ground, stood up with his hind feet, and touched Guan Shan's palm lightly with the tip of his nose.
Guan Shan immediately pressed the ringer, "snapped", handed a piece of apple to the chestnut, and praised: "Good job!" ”
Tourists exclaimed, "Wow, that's good! ”
"What a cute little energy!"
I'm afraid of disturbing the training, so I'm quiet!
Yugong Xin gently poked Liu Wei's arm and asked, "What is Xiao Neng?" ”
Liu Wei explained: "'Neng' is the ability of 'ability', the four points below the bear represent the legs, and the red panda may have relatively short legs, so it is called Xiao Neng, which is an affectionate name for it!" ”
"Xiao Neng, kawaii!"
Waiting for the chestnut to eat the apple in two bites, licking her lips unsatisfied, Guan Shan stretched out her palm again: "Shake hands!" ”
Chestnut put her left paw in her palm, Guan Shan changed her hand and put it on the other side: "Shake hands!" ”
Chestnut also put his right paw in the palm of his hand!
With a "click", Guan Shan handed out the apple and praised: "Great!" ”
"Handshakes and high-fives are common behavioural training for red pandas, which can help them desensitize to touching their front paws and facilitate veterinarian examinations," the assistant keeper explained to the visitors. ”
Guan Shan stretched out her hand: "Come, high-five!" ”
Chestnut stretched out his paw and touched Guan Shan lightly.
The red panda's small claws and big human hands high-five, looking very loving.
"Envy, I also want to high-five the red panda!"
"Kawaii!"
