The applause was one after another, and the mandarin ducks did not know the meaning of the applause of the human beings, who were busy exploring this new world, but the human beings knew.

It is moving, it is admiration, it is a welcome to the brave life that has come to this world.

Welcome to the world.

April.

Floating and feathering, their life as adults is very short, but only in the morning and evening.

They emerge together on the same day, mate in large numbers, and then die, becoming an important nutrient for birds and fish during their breeding season.

The tadpoles of the Chinese toad finally lost their tails, and they came ashore together to hide themselves with the advantage of dense frog numbers, which was a catastrophe for their life and death, as well as an for the birds and the rest of the amphibians.

Taking advantage of the competitor's free water, the black spotted frog spills a series of eggs, and in a few days, the quiet, shy frog tadpoles will replace the toad-tadpole as the underwater ring, and they will also provide the most important energy for the water fly to emerge.

The egg sheath of the mantis that has successfully wintered has broken through the cracks, the giant mantis wielding its twin knives has announced its arrival towards the ecological chain with slaughter, and the white-spotted hunting spider, which has woken up one step earlier, is eyeing them not far away.

The grey magpies started a windmill-like brawl with each other, and then they were sanctioned by the magpies who disgusted them for crossing the line, and the magpies who left the nest did not notice that a large cuckoo had visited the nest it had worked so hard to build.

And all this was seen by the squirrel Xiaohong, who was busy moving.

It swept through the branches of the trees with its young hairy pups in its mouth, and crows appeared near its nests.

In corners that humans don't notice, so many stories are happening.

It is precisely that all things are free.

Chapter 117

In the past few days, the waterfowl in the small lake in the center of Daishan Zoo have had a bad time.

Because they found that the environment and diet of this feng shui egg treasure land they found were very good, and the neighbors were okay, it was a little troublesome but not so bad that the type, but sometimes it felt like the birds were a little hairy.

It's the subtle feeling of being watched all the time, but looking around and around, and no hunters are found, but the birds find very strange animals in the grass, with big round eyes, very narrow bodies, not very tall, and they don't hear what they call them, just look at them with that inorganic eye.

It's very confusing to the birds.

The nest is made, the eggs are laid, at this time, the cost is too great, it is equivalent to overturning and starting over, but don't move...... And I'm a little uncomfortable at all times, and I always feel that those big eyes are a threat, so I'm very entangled.

"This will not work, and if it continues like this, it will affect the breeding of waterbirds." Petty money breeder...... No, now that he has been promoted to head of the waterfowl lake management team, it is time to call him Team Leader Qian, who first put forward his opinion: "I asked them about it before, and they said that the waterfowl in our zoo are the closest bird-watching spots to the shore among the major bird-watching spots in Quancheng, and they are easy to photograph. And the point is that we have a relatively complete ecosystem here, so they can observe the real behavior of a lot of waterfowl, so the zoo is quite famous in their circles now. ”

"Now it's just incubating eggs, and when the chicks hatch and the brood starts to brood, there will only be more people coming, and the principal, we have to find a way to plan, otherwise I'm afraid that the brood birds will be seen and abandoned as nests."

"It's a real problem, I saw it when I passed by a few days ago, let alone birds, and I was shocked when I looked at that pile of shots." Team Leader Lu and Team Leader Yu, who were also upgraded, responded successively: "And those birdwatchers lie down in the reeds in order to take beautiful photos, and if they walk past them, they will be tripped up if they are not careful, and some tourists have complained about this." ”

"It's okay if they just shoot from a distance like this, but I'm afraid that some of them are not for bird watching, but in the name of bird love, these people don't really love birds, they can do anything in order to take good photos."

"Yes, before abroad, there was not a photographer who could always capture the pictures of the animals with a very story, and then it was later found that he used a glue fishing line to pose for the animals to take pictures, our country does not have it, last time I also saw a bird to fly to the flock of birds to throw firecrackers, really lack of morality."

"These are actually okay, I'm afraid that they will attract the kind of people who do live broadcasts."

"Now there is also a live broadcast of bird shooting?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiaolu, there are a lot of live broadcasts of animals on the Internet, and there are people abroad who have put a probe in an artificial nest, and there are 24-hour live broadcasts of the situation of the falcon hatching eggs, and there are people at station B who do plot editing, I have chased, I don't remember what a bird is called, but people give nicknames to be big, because it will help parents feed their younger siblings, the key is that it is not the biological son of the parents but the adopted son...... balabalabla。 ”

"The situation of the big family is still good, its nest is more scientific, and there is an eagle's nest door baffle that is particularly slippery, and there are already countless chicks rolling down when they are learning to fly, but they just don't change it, hey......"

Several new employees were also driven by the atmosphere, and they all told the stories they knew, and for a while, the office was filled with the indignant voices of the breeders.

This meeting is a regular meeting of the zoo, generally everyone will gather in the conference room about an hour before the end of work every day, and have a small meeting of about ten minutes, the zoo looks like an independent individual, each exhibition area is its own family, but in fact, there are many resources behind it are interconnected.

Where should the food be delivered first, should it be pre-processed, and should the nearest animal adjust the recipe? Do you want you to have more starch and less green leaves? Recently, I bought a few pieces of wood to make a perch, who needs some extra wood chips, whether to use the replaced perch for reuse, and other issues, all have to communicate between the keepers.

The big zoo has money, and it doesn't care about this, but the Daishan Zoo is poor, and the resources must be used as much as possible, not to mention the honey of the first □□ the other, and the changes in taste and smell are also part of the abundance of food.

However, usually such meetings last about 10 minutes, and sometimes it is not unusual not to hold them if you are very busy, but today is a special situation.

Today is the day when the newly recruited employees of Daishan Zoo spend a month of internship and decide to sign a contract with the zoo, so this meeting is also a small welcome party, Lu Wu also specially ordered a drink pizza for everyone to chat while eating, who knows that chatting and chatting will talk about work again.

However, these new employees have been working here for a month and have probably learned about the zoo's strange corporate culture, which will become what it is now...... It's not surprising either.

Because this zoo ...... Everyone is the king of volumes.

After following the roll for a month, everyone has gotten used to it. (smiles)

There are 13 new employees in this batch, except for two full-time veterinarians who went to veterinary positions, the other 11 people were first dispersed to three breeders to rotate, no matter which profession they studied, they all started from understanding animals.

Until this point, it's a little weird, but it's nothing.

But then things went wrong!

The first to do it were the interns in the local area, who got the support of their leaders to build the Benjieshi pile in that habitat.

Ben Jie Shi Pile is a unique enrichment toy that has just been popularized by zoos overseas in recent years.

It may not be a mistake to say that the toy is a unique environment made of rocks and branches of dirt, and the zoo can control its size freely, and by planting plants in the crevices of the branches, the Benjies pile becomes a habitat and attracts a variety of animals and predators who feed on them.

On the one hand, this makes the habitat more "natural" and more beautiful at the lowest cost, and on the other hand, the animals that come and go are not a kind of abundance for the animals that live here.

Considering the distribution of animals in the native habitat area, as well as the unique way in which this exhibition is displayed, there are many native plants planted on the Benjieshi pile in the native area.

For example, the three-piece set of bean pegs, loofahs, and cucumbers that every local person deeply dislikes but can't live without.

For example, if you have a leftover radish tassel buried next to it, it will grow faster than if you had planted it from a seed, and now it has bloomed a flower.

Another example is the eggplant that grows only a few eggplants, but you can't eat them all.

Ahem, these big creatures are small when they are planted, but when they are in full bloom, they will be able to climb all over the branches in minutes, and the dense foliage will leave a shady space under the mound of Benj, where the animals can hide from the heat.

And in the summer, when they are fruiting, no animal can refuse the joy of being able to eat fruit with their eyes open, right?

Although the Benjieshidui has just been built and the effect is not yet at its best, tourists have already praised it.

This form of artificial bush blurs the boundaries of habitat separation and provides a more preferred shelter for the animals that inhabit the native area.

With the Benjes pile, the animals can rest in peace close to the tourists and not hide all the way deep into the habitat, which makes the visitors feel good.

Not to be outdone, the interns assigned to the canine exhibit were not to be outdone, they got inspiration from the online dog toy sniffing blanket, and tried to make one overnight, and the next day the wolves were really enthusiastic about this new toy, and the six wolves who came to work that day all groped around this oversized sniffing blanket, and even forgot the task of patrolling and roaring in the past.

It was still the determined wolf king who wanted to get down to business and drive the rest of the younger brothers away.

Then it monopolized the sniffing blanket.

On this day, the wolves and wolves are very happy, and the sniffing blanket is also a weapon that consumes the physical strength of pet dogs, which is also applicable to wolves.

And people have discovered an interesting natural phenomenon, pet dogs will play until tired, but wolves and wolves, out of the instinct of survival in the wild, will stop in time before the physical strength is used up, rest and give way, leaving emergency physical strength.

It can be said that it is very restrained.

This Fengrong toy is really good, the wolves are also very welcome, and it can effectively reduce the speed of the wolves to cook, the only drawback is - the wolf is still a little ruder than the dog, the hand-sewn blanket is not very durable, after a day of playing, the smell blanket has become a piece of waste cloth, so the wolf house has become the only one in Daishan Zoo that has fundraising activities.

- Collect old clothes to make toys for wolves!

The interns in the local area and the wolf hall are rolled up, and other buildings can't be pulled down!

Considering its physical condition, the slope of this pool is relatively gentle, and the inclination angle is only ten degrees, which is not an angle at all for a black bear who is good at climbing!

So Liang Liang soon invented a new way to play - lying in it and soaking his feet.

It's still a little cool this season, but Bubble JIO is still very comfortable!

Soaking your feet while nibbling on today's vegetables is a comfortable day.

What's more, the pool is large and has just the right slope, so the bright pool attracts many nearby birds to bathe.

If the bear sees these birds, it will definitely pounce, but Liangliang is already a calm old bear, and he looks at these birds with gentle eyes more often than not, and does not even mind sharing his food with them.

Just like when it shared food with the newcomer Puluo.

In addition to the pool, Liang Liang also has a toy that he likes very much, which is a huge tickle.

It was a large wooden stake that went straight into the ground, and at first glance it was nothing unusual, but the wonder was that when Liang Liang leaned on it and rubbed it, it had a very subtle rebound force.

How to say this, for bears, it is like a human being has found a good friend to help him scratch his back, the strength can be controlled, and even the temperature, but it is different from the ordinary wood tickling.

It has a soul!

The two little eyes that brightly stared at the tickle were extremely bright.

However, this tickle was not invented by the intern, but by the small money breeder, which was one of the skill books he picked up from Guodong.

The trunk itself is nothing special, just an ordinary trunk, but a hole has been dug under it and four tires have been placed, and after the trunk is inserted into the tire, it is filled with stones, so when the black bear leans over to rub it, the trunk will move within the range of the tires, which gives Liang Liang an extraordinary bear life experience.

These three venues are just a small microcosm of the month at the zoo, and basically the pavilions where the interns work have changed big and small.

Some are set and enrichment, some are exhibition board explanations, the Red Panda Pavilion is more interesting, they directly rubbed a check-in device on the edge of the habitat, which bears are working today to turn out the name, so that visitors can know how many unlucky eggs have come to work today as soon as they enter the venue.

To be honest, before they came to work here, they didn't expect this job to be like this.

Very tired, very tired.

The care of the animals in the habitat is their job, which is visible to tourists, but also physical data measurement, physical examination, behavioral training, food ratio, and so on.

Training alone is tiring enough, and this model of rewarding and not punishing is designed to foster trust between the animal and the keeper so that the keeper can take care of them, and because there is no punishment, you have to teach them over and over again, and the other party has to be willing to accompany you to learn.

It's not so much physical-physical, it's more mentally exhausted.

Its difficulty is definitely no less than pressing primary school students to memorize texts after physical education class, but cute animals are unwilling to cooperate with you is a trivial matter, and it is even more terrible when they show aggression and intimidation to you, because in the face of this moment, many newcomers are broken in glass.

When asked about it, he said aggrievedly: "Tutu usually kisses me the most, every time I go to feed it, I have to hug my thigh, I will also give it food first, I didn't expect it to show negative emotions this time." ”

It's as if you think you're familiar with a stray cat, and the other party is hugging and kissing, and this special is only for you, just when you are about to kidnap instead of buying, the other party turns his face and doesn't recognize the person and gives you a paw.

Intellectually it feels acceptable, but emotionally it does take a hit.

Faced with this situation, the predecessors of the breeders can only comfort and encourage.

"Our zoo is really weak in terms of training." Xiao Lu, a keeper who has studied at the Giant Panda Base, patiently explained: "Most of the animals in our zoo are rescued wild animals, and a small part is left over from the previous zoo, so they are different from the animals exchanged from other zoos. So let's give them a little more patience and let them give us a little more trust, okay? ”

There are pains in this process.

Whether it's carrying wooden stakes to do manual work, or the marks left by the other party's inadvertent touch when they are in close contact with animals, these interns have basically gone to the infirmary to report in less than a month.

Sprains, abrasions, bruises, everything.

Oh, the most painful thing is still the pile of vaccine shots, and the quacks, not to mention the debts, will have to be vaccinated in a few months.

But happiness is also real happiness.

"How many companies in the world can take the intern's opinion into account?" On the bus on the way home from work, the interns were tired physically and mentally, but their eyes were shining.

I was happy when my proposal was accepted.
