The hippopotamus's mouth is open to the maximum, about the height of the upper body of a keeper squatting on the edge of the pool.

It feels like you can swallow the breeder in one bite!

And the keeper's arm poked into the hippopotamus's mouth, making the tourists sweat.

"Mom, this mouth is so big!"

"If the hippopotamus closes its mouth, its arm will not be bitten off directly."

Another keeper explained outside: "Rest assured, we usually take care of hippos and conduct behavior training, and hippos are familiar with this kind of operation." It is also nice to clean your teeth and remove food debris, so you don't attack the keeper. ”

Someone asked curiously: "Why do you brush your hippopotamus, will you get tooth decay if you don't brush your teeth?" Who brushes their teeth in the wild? ”

"I remember in the wild in Africa, there seemed to be a small bird of the Egyptian plover, nicknamed the toothpick bird, that would pick the teeth of hippos! The zoo has no Egyptian plovers and has to rely on keepers. ”

"Hey, aren't you picking the crocodile's teeth?"

Tang Xiaoxin said: "Anyway, I know that picking crocodiles' teeth is fake, and crocodiles don't need to pick their teeth at all." ”

The keeper said: "In the wild, there are not Egyptian plovers to pick their teeth, Egyptian plovers their main food is insects or other aquatic animals, hippos staple food is plants, what do they burrow into their mouths to eat, this is more unreliable than picking teeth for crocodiles......

In fact, it is a problem of food, the feed eaten in the zoo is relatively fine, and there are all kinds of sugar-rich fruits, and food residues are more likely to decay their teeth, so we need our keepers to help them brush their teeth. ”

"Oh~"

There was a sudden sound from the crowd.

The keeper carefully examined the chubby mouth, especially the roots of the teeth.

Then he patted his chubby and thick upper lip and made a "piapia" sound!

Chubby suddenly opened his mouth to the maximum!

The keeper soaked the brush in the water and brushed the hippopotamus' teeth.

Brush left and right, chubby closed his eyes and behaved very well-behaved!

"It looks like it's enjoyable!"

"Haha, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep!"

"See, hippos also have to brush their teeth, if you don't brush your teeth, your teeth will become black and yellow, do you have to brush your teeth obediently every day?"

Some parents took this opportunity to educate their children.

It was over in about a minute or two, and the keeper touched its teeth, checked the cleanliness, and gently rubbed it to make an oral spa.

Then take out some sweet potatoes and pumpkins and put them in Chubby's mouth as a reward for brushing his teeth.

patted Chubby's upper lip, Chubby knew that he had finished brushing, closed his mouth and chewed twice, and slowly sank into the water.

"Eat after brushing your teeth, pay attention!"

"As long as you don't, the hippopotamus is still cute!"

The tourists watched it happily and clapped their hands.

……

The paddy fields in the local exhibition area have just been irrigated in the past two days, and rice has not yet been planted.

Due to the epidemic, this farming activity was naturally canceled, and the staff of the zoo would plant it themselves.

When Tang Xiaoxin walked through the rice field, she suddenly said happily: "Hey, dragonfly! ”

There are a few dragonflies hovering lightly in mid-air, their crystal translucent wings, shining in the sunlight, showing a colorful metallic luster, and their stomachs showing a blood-like bright red, which is beautiful and moving.

Suddenly it flew away like an arrow from a string, and suddenly stopped on the water surface of the rice field, and its tail clicked the water.

Sometimes it lands on a stone or on the tip of a slender grass, folds its wings, and stands slim.

I couldn't help but take a closer look and took two photos.

I never paid attention to dragonflies before, but now I find them quite beautiful.

The appearance of dragonflies means that the ecosystem here is more complete.

At this moment, a red-eared bulbul appeared out of nowhere, flew down and pinned down on the dragonfly.

Flying to the treetops with a dragonfly in his mouth, he jumped around in front of another red-eared bulbul, as if courting.

Two red-eared bulbuls fluttered and chased among the canopies, and the melodious chirping of birds could be heard nearby, which was full of life.

……

Black-browed Snake Pavilion!

The afternoon sun is warm, and a yellow and black snake is lying on the windowsill, basking in the sun quietly, giving people a feeling of quiet years.

Brooms, bamboo sieves, broken bowls, blackened walls and portraits of the Lord of the Stove have a strong smell of fireworks.

Such a unique exhibition hall environment has attracted many enthusiastic visitors.

I used to grow up in the countryside, and I showed a nostalgic gaze, and I didn't go to the countryside, but I watched it with relish.

There is a small tile with an arrow on the glass that says "Please look here".

Sometimes the black eyebrows are shrunk under the stove, or hidden behind the broom of the sauerkraut jar, which is not easy to find, and after tourists find it, they can adjust the position indicated by the tile to help later tourists better look.

Of course, this will be this black eyebrow basking in the sun, and it can be easily found without looking at the arrows.

According to the popular science display board next to it, the black-eyed snake is named after a striking black eyebrow line behind the eyes, and the king snake is called the cauliflower snake.

Because of its large size, non-venomous and slow movement, it is also the most common edible snake in the market.

Of course, what is sold in the market is under the banner of breeding, but in fact, a large part of it comes from the wild, so that now the black eyebrows are almost endangered.

Wild snakes have many parasites such as nematodes and tapeworms, which are very dangerous to eat.

Moreover, the black-browed snake has a great effect on controlling the rodent population, and is the natural enemy of the brown rat that is rampant in the city, and its slender body can enter the rat hole and wipe out a litter of large and small mice. Protecting snakes is also protecting ourselves.

Many people are afraid of snakes, but if we have an understanding of snakes, we will know that 99% of snakes will run away or are too scared to run away when they encounter people, at this time you can stomp your feet to scare them away, and it is completely unnecessary to hurt the snake or kill the snake.

Tourists commented: "This black eyebrow is so handsome!" ”

"I've seen this snake before, and now I don't know what it's called."

"When I was a child, there was a cauliflower snake in my house! At night, when my father heard the movement, he got up and grabbed him and threw him outside. ”

"It's really rare to see them now, and hopefully they won't be the next flowery sparrow."

"Eh, my house is a serious rat thief, at night I can hear rats crawling up and down the pipe, and I often run to the kitchen, and I can jump on the cabinet where I put food, and I have to close the cabinet door. I wish there were black eyebrows to cure them. ”

"When everyone sees a snake not shouting to kill or catch it to make soup, it is estimated that this idea can be realized."
