Chapter 742: Lively Little Rabbit
Time flies, and it's June in the blink of an eye.
It has been three months since Yun Duo and Zhuang Zhuang mated, and Yun Duo did have the performance of pregnancy, but it is difficult to determine whether it is a false pregnancy or a real pregnancy, because no matter the hormonal changes in the body, or the slowdown of mobility, the state of eating, true pregnancy and false pregnancy are the same.
When the panda cub was born, it weighed only one or two hundred grams, which was one thousandth to two thousandth of the weight of the panda mother.
Not to mention the two-legged beast, even the pregnant panda itself is estimated to be confused, and I don't know if I am pregnant or not.
If you are really pregnant, you can usually see it in July and August.
During this time, the introduction of new animals, which had been delayed due to the epidemic, also began to be re-promoted.
The introduction of fennec foxes, because there are African animals such as hippos and giraffes in the giant beast area, is placed on the edge of the giant beast area, and a group of meerkats and warthogs are introduced to form an African theme.
After the Australian Zoo and related agencies came to investigate, they agreed to the application of the Waterfront Zoo to keep koalas.
There are also supporting kangaroos, and the zoo is in full swing to build a variety of new pavilions.
Fang Ye was in the rabbit raccoon hall at this time, watching the activities of the little rabbit through monitoring.
The Lantern Festival gave birth to four cubs at a time, which made people happy!
Now a few cubs have begun to gnaw on the meat.
In order to prevent the cubs from being infected with toxoplasmosis, on the one hand, the food they were fed was strictly checked, and on the other hand, Fang Ye secretly poured some protective medicine on them.
The little ones are fleshy, naΓ―ve, and the "ring scar" on the forehead looks very funny.
Usually squeezed into the warm arms of the Lantern Festival to sleep and feed, huhu sleep, recently grown up, plus a few days ago was taken out by the veterinarian to check the body, see the outside world, and the mind has become active.
Taking advantage of the Lantern Festival to go out, one of them sneaked up and walked out of the breeding box for the first time.
The Lantern Festival just came out a little bit of ventilation.
When I heard the movement behind me, my eyes widened!
Hurriedly ran back and blocked the cub at the door to prevent it from coming out.
Seeing the cub naughtily burrowing out, while looking around vigilantly, he gently pushed the cub back with his head.
Seeing the cub go back, he took two steps out, turned around and looked at it again, as if to tell him: "Mother come out, don't come out, stay inside obediently, do you hear?" β
Jumped lightly, jumped to the perch next to him, and then leaned down, poked his head and peeked quietly to see if the child's movements were obedient when he was away.
If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, you have to repeatedly check whether you bring a key or not, and the door lock is not locked!
Rabbits are sensitive animals, and it is normal for them to be insecure in captivity.
After a while, all four cubs crawled to the doorway, their little heads huddled together and looking out.
A few cubs you pushed me, trying to come out and move.
But if you huddle together, you can't get out!
When Tanyuan Xiao saw this scene, his heart probably collapsed, can you let me worry about it?
I tried to push them back with my head, but a few cubs crowded in the doorway, so I simply took one out and planned to carry it in myself.
Come back with me, you!
Just guarded at the door, pushed back when he saw anyone who wanted to come out, and started a long tug-of-war with the cubs.
Fang Ye saw this scene through the surveillance and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
This mother is not good!
After admonishing the breeder, he asked Lei Zhi to drive a van to Xinghe University.
At the gate of Galaxy University, Wang Yan had been waiting here with the students for a while.
Seeing Fang Ye's figure, he waved his hand: "Yuan Chang Fang!" I'm sorry for you. β
Fang Ye smiled: "Don't bother, I'm also quite interested in this!" β
Recently, there have been news about raccoon dogs in many communities, and some self-media have even used some exaggerated headlines, such as "raccoon dog and people fighting", "raccoon dog attacking people" and "wild raccoon dog flooding".
Wang Yan had just come to Linhai for a while, and when he was observing wild animals, he found raccoon dogs.
At that time, I thought of raccoons, which are also very intelligent animals that adapt to the city.
Judging that raccoon dog may have some fundamental changes in the next 5-10 years, there may be more and more, and there will be conflicts with people.
I didn't expect the conflict to happen, but not a few years later, but this year it suddenly broke out.
Some citizens called the zoo for help, saying that there are a lot of raccoon dogs in their community, and at night they can hear the mutual warning sound downstairs like stray dogs meeting, low and long, and the sound of biting, which sounds quite terrible.
It seems that the raccoon dog is fighting for turf, and they divide into two groups in the middle of the community and engage in fierce fights.
Many raccoon dogs come and go freely on the trails of the community, they are not afraid of people at all, they will not hide with a flashlight, and some even take the initiative to approach humans, as if they are asking for food.
In the evening, it is the time for residents to take a walk after dinner, and when they encounter this situation, they are afraid to go out.
This time, Fang Ye, Wang Yan and the students he brought with him went to investigate, preparing to set up infrared cameras, and interrogate citizens to see why raccoon dogs had conflicts with people, the severity of the conflict, and how to solve them.
Fang Ye helped carry the infrared camera, cage, GPS locator and other things to the car, and chatted with Wang Yan.
"Why did the raccoon dog break out this year?"
Wang Yan speculated: "I think there are several reasons, the first is because the climate is warm this winter, and the survival rate of raccoon dogs is relatively high when they overwinter. β
Fang Ye nodded with deep feelings!
In previous years, it has become cooler since October, but last year the temperature jumped between hot and cold repeatedly, and in November, wearing thicker clothes would sweat, and there were even mosquitoes to bite people.
The osmanthus trees planted in the zoo were stunned by the climate, and after withering, they bloomed again briefly.
The weather really cooled down in December, but it soon warmed up in spring.
Wang Yan said: "And this time the raccoon dog encountered an epidemic during the breeding period, the streets were empty, and they could run all over the city during courtship, without avoiding vehicles and humans coming and going."
After the raccoon dog is born, the city is also empty, and in the most important stage of life, it does not have the experience of living with humans like its parents, and it starts to run around without vigilance and fear of the city.
After the epidemic, the "List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection" was revised, and this time there was a lot of movement, and many animals finally waited for the attention they deserved. (Earth's list is updated more slowly, with only two minor revisions in thirty years)
Wolves and red foxes have been upgraded to second-class protected animals, and raccoon dogs are now second-class animals.
Everyone learned that raccoon dogs are the second in the country, and they may have to eat prison meals to harm and kill, and they can't hurt them, so raccoon dogs are also very bold. β
