But that doesn't make sense.

Whether it is a breeding center or a domestic snake, the normal reaction after laying eggs should also be to enter the incubation process, there is no reason to abandon the snake eggs, or throw them all the way to a place like Mount Tai.

In short, this incident is strange everywhere, so after bringing it back, Lu Wu and Pu Luo also put the snake eggs in the incubator with the idea of trying, but they didn't expect that in the end they really hatched successfully, and what came out was a litter of small king snakes.

This is even more confusing, the king snake is a very common species in the country, although its appearance is very good, and it is also very good to breed, but because of the subtle smell on the body, it is not on the list of favorite snakes of the majority of snake lovers.

Once, because of its fast growth and thick meat, it was loved by the catering industry, and the raw material of the salt and pepper king snake was the king snake, because it was so popular, it was once eaten and needed to be cultivated.

However, after the state strictly banned the consumption of any snakes, these snake factories also abandoned the breeding of king snakes and turned to breeding some poisonous snakes with more medicinal value.

So where did this nest of king snake eggs come from? And what kind of king snake parents would date in the middle of winter and lay eggs in a season that is completely inconsistent with the snake egg's hatching season? This has apparently become an unsolved mystery.

But what is known is that the wayward behavior of the parents is still a source of trouble for their children.

After hatching, the baby king snakes are completely out of line with the standard growth rate of the king snakes, and their physique is far weaker than their own kind, even if there is a special meal in the zoo, it cannot make up for the weakness brought about by beating the mother's womb.

Therefore, in the end, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Wu decided not to release him for the time being, and waited until the summer to see the situation.

And now, Daishan Zoo has specially arranged a small habitat exhibition area for them.

Moreover, this habitat is next door to the house mouse habitat, and according to the preferences of the director's habitat design, there is still some visual overlap between the two habitats, which is more exciting in the eyes of tourists, and can better reflect the position of the two in the ecological chain.

I just don't know if the tourists can psychologically get by by after watching the big rats and then the snakes.

Pu Luo tilted his head and thought about it, it should be okay, right? He thought the exhibition area was pretty nicely furnished.

Lu Wuke specially created a walk-in exhibition area based on the houses in the south, striving to give visitors an all-round immersive display of the daily life of the people in the south.

For example, the American cockroach exhibition area that flies all the way from the cabinet to the TV, the brown mouse exhibition area that runs all the way from the stove to the cabinet, and the Wang Jin Snake exhibition area that coincides with the stove but is connected all the way to the bathroom.

Tourists...... You shouldn't be intimidated, right?

Chapter 125

Lovecraft once said that the oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown.

Therefore, the best way to resolve fear is to understand it.

This sentence was posted at the entrance of the science museum of Daishan Zoo.

This also characterizes the special feature of the Science Museum – it is a relatively scary part of the zoo.

Most of them are animals that humans hate, fear, hate, and are afraid of destroying when they see them.

"While furry or cute animals are more appealing to visitors, I think a zoo should give visitors more to see." When asked by the keepers why he had set up such an exhibition area, Lu Wu explained it this way, and he did it this way.

Before visitors enter the exhibition area, they are first shocked by the large and small cobwebs on the roadside of the exhibition area.

Unlike other zoos that try not to disturb visitors with insects, Daishan Zoo has specially drawn a damp and dark corner of the zoo, and then erected a corner frame on the ground to facilitate spider webs, and placed a magnifying glass.

When the pavilion was still under construction, people would come every day to fill the small pool below, and from time to time some humus and fruit peels that had not been fully fermented, and sure enough, it was not long before the hatching mosquitoes and fruit flies hatched in the soil began to multiply in this small space.

Then, before the zoo could hire them, the spiders who usually hid in the shadows heard the news and came to work for the zoo.

The beads are the most common big-bellied spiders, and they look a little plain, but under the effect of a movable magnifying glass, visitors can still see "wow".

One of the strange things you can see here is that adults are not interested in spiders at all, but many children are afraid and curious, and although parents often urge their children to move forward, they still have to come over to see the spiders before they can move forward.

"This is because most of the children's fear comes from the reaction of the people around them to the object, as our message says, fear comes from the unknown, but for the new life, most of the world is unknown, and it would be too difficult to be afraid of everyone, so they will absorb the opinions of the people around them to determine their own attitudes, even if it is not in their nature."

Lu Wu explained in a low voice: "In other words, just let them understand that this is not so scary, and that it is a cool and normal thing to observe it, then they will immediately show their curious side." ”

Just like Lu Wu said, when the docent holding a small loudspeaker beckoned the students around him to come closer and led the children to observe the spiders in a simple way, many children gathered around him.

In fact, spiders are not so hideous under a magnifying glass, on the contrary, they are beautiful, their eyes are cute, even their claws are furry, and there is a silly air in their every move.

But contrary to the appearance, whether it is when the web is built or hunting, these stupid-looking spiders have an astonishing decisiveness and murderous aura, and they are a little handsome when you look closely.

After a short time, more and more children in the area appeared, and unlike the parents who showed sore expressions, the spider in the eyes of the children was just a simple insect, without any likes or dislikes.

When they saw a fly tiger hunting live, the children exclaimed excitedly, and even the expressions on the faces of the children who had been hiding nearby were not as frightened as they were just now.

And then immediately after that, they have to face the next wave of challenges - cockroaches.

One of the most important aspects of insect display is desensitization.

Therefore, in terms of species on display, Lu Wu chose a lot of beautiful varieties as live displays, for example, when introducing cockroaches, Lu Wu chose the emerald green Cuban cockroach to take the lead.

The Cuban cockroach is brightly coloured, its diet is predominantly vegetarian, and its pavilion is a small patch of subtropical bush.

And this lord is lying on the branch like a green leaf, and you don't know that it is a display animal unless you look closely.

And its counterpart, there is also a red cockroach - that is the famous cherry red cockroach in the exotic pet world.

This desert-dwelling cockroach has a concealed golden yellow juvenile body and a cherry red adult body, and its body size is similar to that of the traditional cockroaches in the north, but because of the round head and round brain, it looks a little cuter.

In fact, if these two types of cockroaches do not tell tourists that they are cockroaches, many tourists do not show too many negative emotions, and the same is true of dung beetles and rat women.

This is especially evident in the exhibition area of the Rat Woman, who is commonly known as the tide worm and is more commonly known as the watermelon worm. Because it doesn't bite, it doesn't attack, and when touched, it clumps together, and it once became a toy for children in that era when entertainment was lacking.

So when did they make humans hate?

Was it because of the black appearance and thin calves when the flower pots were moved, or because of the black appearance and thin calves?

The reaction of tourists indicates that it is mainly a black shell.

Because when they saw the C rat woman specially introduced by the director, especially when there was also the top Thai duck rat woman introduced by the director for a "big price", the visitors all made expressions and subtle sounds when they saw the cute things.

The duck rat woman is really cute, it is named because it resembles a toy yellow duck, although it is still black as a whole, but because the head and buttocks are bright yellow, the "face" also has a key color of the "duck beak" and two beanie eyes, it seems to be twice as cute, especially here is also marked with lights that can add points, it looks more cute.

Moreover, duck and rat women are still a rare burrow species, and when you see most of their bodies hidden inside, they expose their small duck beaks outside, and they ...... There's a cute point.

Because of its good looks, its price is also cute, and the ducks at the zoo are purchased from enthusiasts, and a group of ten costs four figures.

And this animal is social and small, so for the best effect, in a small ecological display box, this ancestor alone spent five figures on the zoo's small money.

But the effect is still very significant, both adults and children after seeing the cute duck and mouse women, and then seeing a few local breeds, the reaction is obviously calmer.

So, there aren't many people who are really afraid of insects, and most of them are ...... It's all face control.

Otherwise, why aren't you afraid of butterflies, dragonflies, and ants?

However, Pu Luo was very able to understand them, because when he saw the next exhibition area designed by Lu Wu, his heart was also broken.

After seeing the cutie, Lu Wu showed the tourists who were in a calm mood the heavy taste, that is, the American cockroach that scared the previous local man to tremble.

As the king of the cockroach world, the American cockroach is still able to claim the king of the residents' homes under the siege and interception of the strong southerners, and it also has a unique skill.

For example...... They can drill through gaps up to 1/4 of their height, and according to unscientific tests, their limit width is almost 1.5 mm.

What is the concept...... The thickness of a piece of paper is about 0.01 mm, that is, a gap the size of 15 sheets of paper is a cockroach.

"You may not have an idea of that, so the zoo has designed a set of extreme parkour equipment for everyone."

"The nest of these cockroaches is at the bottom of the wall, and our feeding mouth is at the top, which means that these cockroaches need to go through a whole maze of bait if they want to eat the bait, they have to swim through an average of 2.5 mm of pallets, swim from a pool 100 times their length to the surface, and then go through a high temperature and humidity area of 30 degrees Celsius to eat the bait, and because the bait is partially close to the daylight. That's an environment that cockroaches don't like, so they have to go back the way they came after eating. ”

"By the way, in the process, they also have to challenge our labyrinth passages, and if the whole maze gets lost and is imprisoned, it will go through a period of starvation, during which the keeper will only feed it with water and no feed until it finds the right direction."

The keeper's words are cruel, but what is even more cruel is that even in such extreme conditions, the cockroaches can still fly to their final destination under the deep gaze of tourists - in front of a television set showing a short video about the cockroaches.

That's right, it's flying.

Why do cockroaches fly?

Local tourists were a bit devastated.

"Huh? This individual strength is almost the same as running a triathlon once a day. ”

"Don't worry, their limit of starvation is a month, and the limit of water is seven days, so even if they get stuck in the middle of the way, they can last a long time just by feeding them water." The keeper explained to the children one by one.

One of the children exclaimed, "It's living so hard." ”

The parents who were still devastated a second ago instantly showed subtle expressions.

Step up your game...... It's true that it's hard work, but how to say it, if the cockroach's effort is in the wild, they can't cheer for it, but the problem is the effort of these cockroaches...... It's all in the residents' homes!

When you guy, we try to drill cracks in our family and use your drug resistance, mobility, hunger resistance, and omnivorous nature to escape from human pursuit, and we really can't be moved!

"In fact, cockroaches are animals that we misunderstand deeply, you see, the surface of cockroaches has a layer of waterproof grease, this layer of grease not only allows them to float in the water quickly, but also keeps their body surface clean, not dusty or watery, and because of the extreme living environment of cockroaches, so they do not have parasites, if it is in the wild environment, it is a very important part of participating in natural decomposition, just like earthworms."

The narrator said gently: "It's a pity that their food is highly overlapping with our human beings, and the human home environment is also very suitable for its growth, which has led to it becoming a pest that everyone in many families shouts about, but in fact although it can spread bacteria and viruses, the number is far less than that of flies, and it is not like a mosquito that needs to suck blood for a living. ”

"You may not know that the American cockroach is very tenacious, it does not have a special respiratory system, it is ventilated through the valves on the stomach, and in addition to the brain can control the body, it also has nerve nodes in the chest and abdomen, that is, even if its head is cut off, it can still breathe and move. It can still live for 7-9 days after being decapitated, and the cause of death is starvation, so do you know why it is fighting for these 7-9 days? “

"Whew-" The little classmates all shook their heads with incredible expressions, although they started their little brains, but the answers they said were childish cute, some said that they were saying goodbye to their families, some said that they were solving the regrets of the cockroach, and even the adults were making guesses.

Seeing that the narrator over there was still hanging his appetite, Pu Luo couldn't help it, he pinched the principal's fingers, motioned to the other party to bow his head, and then asked in his ear: "Why is it?" ”

Lu Wu was silent, and finally said in the silent urging of Teacher Xiaopu: "In order to leave the genes." ”

Pu Luo: "? ”

What?

"Everyone guessed wrong!" The narrator over there saw that the atmosphere was almost scheduled, and he revealed the answer with a mischievous smile: "It's actually for breeding." Female cockroaches can lay 10 egg sheaths in 7-10 days under the condition of suitable nutrition and sufficient nutrition in the season, each egg sheath has about 30 eggs, so if the female cockroach is decapitated, it will seize the time to lay the fertilized eggs that have been conceived, and the male will seize the time to find a female □□ mate, leave their DNA in the last few days of life, and then live a month or so, when it has died, its baby will be born into this world. ”

Ah, what a tragic, epic story of life!

But yes, but yes......

I can't be moved at all!

Every parent's expression was twisted to the extreme at this moment.

Everyone knew more or less about the vitality of cockroaches before, and they probably felt it personally in the process of fighting wits and courage with it, after all, when describing the vigorous vitality of anime characters or human beings, it is also referred to as "Xiaoqiang", but frankly, they really can't imagine that this girl can be so strong!

Why hasn't this world been ruled by cockroaches!?

"Of course, it's because there are their natural enemies, and the natural enemies of cockroaches are actually what everyone saw just now, centipedes, spiders, frogs, geckos, and even birds, and it is precisely because there are so many animals that want to eat them that they are forced out of such a strong reproductive force."

"In fact, our ancestors also had a long time ago on the vitality of cockroaches, and put it into medicine, but our medicine is not the American cockroach, but the native cockroach, but in the scientists tireless research and application, they also found that the extract of the American cockroach has a strong anti-inflammatory and anti-infection effect, and according to this characteristic, there is a blind burn, infection when the effect of the Chinese patent medicine appeared, do tourists know what it is?"

Under the temptation of small gifts, a tourist slowly raised his hand, and he said with a vegetable-like face: "I know, the new liquid for recovery." ”

"...... the right answer"

"What ? The new liquid for rehabilitation is made by cockroaches?! ”

A mournful roar overpowered the narrator's voice, and the tourists followed the sound and saw a strong man with a broken expression and a shaky face.

Hey, we get it.
