Fang Ye said: "Although the story of the yellow-breasted bunting is a bit sad to tell, it is still very surprising that we can welcome the yellow-breasted bunting as a guest in our rice field.

In fact, this is what we want to show in the local exhibition area, and the city we live in used to be like this.

Yellow-breasted buntings sing in the fields, and tadpoles grow in the streams.

Now, with the rapid advancement of urbanization, not only the living space of native species is crowded, but also the connection between people and nature living in the city is also destroyed, and various problems have emerged.

The local exhibition area is to let everyone re-understand these animals that once lived with us, build a connection with nature, and think about the relationship between man and nature. ”

"This kind of exhibition area is really great, I will definitely visit it in the future."

"The rice fields can attract yellow-breasted buntings to rest here, and the zoo has achieved this level, just two words, awesome!"

As temperatures have dropped recently, the maple tree's green leaves have also taken on a hint of yellow, swaying gently in the breeze. The golden sunlight shines through the gaps in the canopy, and the road is also reflected in gold.

There is a pile of fallen leaves next to the road, and a sign is erected next to it.

Some netizens asked curiously: "What is on display here?" ”

Fang Ye said with a smile: "The local exhibition area is not only to display several native animals, habitat is the foundation, and only with the habitat created by native plants can native biomes appear."

This is where this pile of fallen leaves is displayed, and it has a nice name, it is called the Fallen Leaf Castle.

Leaf fall is an important part of the natural cycle.

When the fallen leaves drift away from the branches, they end a journey, but they continue to live in another form.

The decomposition of fallen leaves provides rich organic matter to the soil, making the soil loose, and due to the fermentation of microorganisms, the fallen leaves are warm even in winter, and it is a castle for many small animals to overwinter.

The larvae of unicorn and some scarabs feed on fermented fallen leaves and spend their larval stage in the fallen leaves, so why you can't see them in the city is because of the lack of fallen leaves. ”

"I see!"

"Doraemon Nobita's favorite activity is to go to the back mountain to catch a unicorn, which is also the entertainment I have always longed for in my childhood."

Netizens thought it was very interesting, but they didn't expect a bunch of fallen leaves to be displayed?

A sharp-eyed netizen said: "What is that dead tree in front?" How does it look like a hidden mystery? ”

At first glance, it looks like a yellow-brown dead tree! The top is pitted and hollow, as if it has been eaten by insects.

The middle of the trunk has obvious cut marks, like the cover of a book.

Fang Ye smiled and opened the bark like a flip book.

This display board is actually hidden in the trunk of a tree! The above is an introduction to the heavenly cow.

Fang Ye stroked the insect moth on the trunk of the tree and said, "Everyone should have seen the Heavenly Cow, right?" Did you catch it when you were a child?

Ever imagined what a tree that has been eaten by a longhorn beetle looks like? This is the result of the gnawing of the heavenly cow. ”

Talking about Tianniu suddenly evoked many people's childhood memories.

"When I was a child, there was a wasteland behind my mother's hospital, and in the summer it was the insects and birds chirping, where I caught the beetle, caught the grasshopper, fluttered the butterflies, and sometimes I was lucky enough to see the stick insects.

"You can often see the bull in elementary school! The black ones are spotted on their backs, and their tentacles are black and white, and one of their favorite ways to play is to grab the tentacles of the Heavenly Bull and stun them. ”

"I like to catch the bull in elementary school very much, once I caught a big thief, put it in my hand to play, but a bite to my hand did not let go, all of them were pinched blood, the pain was not good, since then there is a shadow, no longer dare to scratch."

"Then you can't bite it back?"

"Haha, I've never been bitten by catching a bull, just hold it on your back! It also makes a 'creaking' sound. ”

"The peach tree in my hometown was gnawed to death by the beetle, and the trees were full of such holes."

"Anyway, I don't seem to have seen Tianniu for a long time!"

Fang Ye said: "Maybe in everyone's impression, the longhorn beetle is a pest that will stand in the empty trunk and harm the environment.

In fact, each wild animal has a unique ecological significance. Adult females gnaw at the bark with their sharp palates, leaving wounds in the branches and laying eggs, where the hatched larvae move through the trunk and create long tunnels and striking wounds on the branches.

These wounds will drain nutrient-rich sap that attracts small beetles to eat, and the beetle's bite will cause the branches to heal themselves longer and shed more sap.

The aroma of the sap in hot and humid weather attracts larger diners such as butterflies, stag beetles and wasps, which in turn attract bird predators.

The inhabitants of these forests rely on the restaurants created by the longhorn cows throughout the summer. ”

Listening to his narration, netizens can't help but reverie that in the scorching summer, the longhorn cow drills holes in the trunk of the tree, and all kinds of insects and birds continue to visit here, creating a colorful forest world.

Fang Ye said: "If it is a healthy natural forest, there is no need to worry about the harm of the beetle, they themselves are part of a healthy ecosystem, if a single plantation forest, it may become a disaster, because there is no natural enemy to restrain them." The more complex the ecosystem, the more stable it is. ”

After passing a spire granary, the word "Feng" is also pasted on the granary, which looks very rural backyard atmosphere.

Next to the granary is the Red Fox exhibition area!

When I came here, I happened to meet the keeper who was preparing to feed.

Fang Ye didn't rush in, and said with a smile: "Let's see how to feed the fox." ”

The keeper opened the cage door, and when the prince, who was usually not active in anything, arrived at the time of eating, he suddenly became excited, wagged his tail and rushed up, screaming non-stop.

The keeper sprinkled some food in the buffer zone and whistled: "Open meal, open meal!" ”

Xiao Qiao was still a little reserved, and the two foxes, Youyu and Sugarpacket, also ran into the buffer zone with the prince and ate on the ground.

Then the keeper closed the door of the buffer zone and set it up in the playground so that it would not be disturbed by foxes.

The sugar bun is too lively, and he is always naughty and troublesome when he puts food, and the prince is even more so, and he chases after him when he has food.

Fang Ye said: "The box is filled with thawed mice, if you put it directly, it will be easy to be discovered by the fox, so put it in the box, and then scatter it and hide it for the fox to find, increase the difficulty of feeding, and prolong the time for them to forage, this is the routine operation of food abundance." ”
