Pu Luo: !

Don't be competitive in strange places!

No, no.

The next day, after being rolled over and over all night, he shook his round ears and pressed his round ears back, and then gritted his teeth in the bed.

Although it can be felt that the head of the kindergarten has been very restrained, and he has not used anything very excessive, but the harshness of the cat family and the physical strength of the canine family have already made Pu Luo unbearable.

For the first time, Pu Luo began to think seriously about the problem of getting his body back.

With trembling hands, he reached under the pillow to put away the medal he had hidden yesterday, but he didn't touch anything.

Startled, he sat up, and was about to look for it when he saw his medal on the bedside table and a note underneath.

Pu Luo grabbed them with some confusion, and saw Lu Wu write on the slip of paper in rather loose handwriting: I didn't pay attention to the medal yesterday, and it has been washed and dried. I'm sorry to be careful next time.

Dirty? What got dirty?

Pu Luo was inexplicable, and suddenly, the ribbon holding the medal fell and gently swept over Pu Luo's wrist, making his whole body tremble.

This, this feeling, he remembered......

Yesterday, yesterday Lu Wu seemed to have said that the tail was not enough, so he pulled something and ...... it

Pu Luo's hands began to tremble, and his face was flushed, and he opened the drawer and stuffed the medal into it, and his whole body was about to burn.

Ahhh Principal, how can the principal be like this!

Chapter 145

The primate exhibit area of Daishan Zoo was built from almost scratch, so it adopted the most stringent "anti-feeding" design in the entire zoo.

On the side close to the visitor walkway, the glass is fully enclosed, and the width from the floor to the ceiling is about 5 meters, so that visitors can see the behavior of the animals as clearly as possible.

In the position facing away from visitors, the exhibition area is blocked by steel mesh, which allows normal rain and sunlight to enter the exhibition area, nourishes the plants in the exhibition area, and reduces the pressure on the closed exhibition hall to clean the roof.

Another element of caution is that only the part of the outdoor exhibition area near the glass wall has rain and sun shelter, so on rainy days or hot summer days, in order to avoid the scorching sun and rain, the small animals inside will naturally move closer to the visitors.

If they really don't want to be close to visitors, there are places in the exhibition area where you can hide from the sun and rain, but not as spacious as the visitors.

Of course, it is not possible to lay glass in all areas, not to mention the price and maintenance, and ventilation alone can be a big problem, so in some habitats where visitors are far away or separated by trees, the zoo still uses a traditional steel mesh layout.

But if you look closely, you will see that the zoo's steel mesh is arranged in two whole layers, and it is arranged in a staggered way, and the mesh is relatively dense, even if a visitor feeds the hole in the first layer, it will be blocked by the second layer and cannot reach the habitat.

There are a lot of dissatisfaction with this, and it also arouses the competitiveness of some tourists, who see how to feed through the mesh as a challenge, and then there is a third line of defense - the horn at the top of the zoo will sound, and at the same time, multiple cameras will be activated in the primate habitat to film the uncivilized behavior of the other party for record.

"It's not like that." Stupid tourists complained loudly: "Why don't you just feed it, which zoo can't feed it?" ”

"I'm sorry, Daishan Zoo has always refused to feed it." The team of teachers who volunteered on the weekend patted the sign prohibiting feeding: "Your eyes are quite big, and you don't have four eyes, why didn't you see our prompt?" Even if you don't see this, don't you see the little reminder on the ticket stub? ”

"Besides, the food that our zoo gives to the animals is pure natural and pesticide-free and semi-organic, and every fruit and vegetable is washed several rounds in a special pesticide removal machine, and then processed and carefully proportioned by the keepers, which is not better than the junk food in your hands?"

"I just watched it ...... greedy."

"It's really strange for people to put down their natural food and eat junk food, but they still think that the monkeys who eat natural food are pitiful, and they want to give their junk food to others.

Several teachers stepped forward together, and the words were put out with guns and sticks, and the mysterious teacher's aura made the big man speechless, so he could only leave in a sneer.

And this man's experience with the breeze of social media brushed to the Internet, Daishan Zoo's strict defense directly in the circle of a small fire, and many netizens feel unnecessary, barbed wire affects the viewing of the difference, Daishan Zoo's actions have been praised by many big V.

A big V wrote an article directly, sprinkling hundreds of words, without a single dirty word, but it seemed to point at the nose of many zoos and scold.

In fact, everyone knows that feeding is not good, but everyone may not know where this feeding is bad.

Let's just say that in the current situation, the unscientific feeding of visitors is the biggest threat to the zoo's animals, not only in terms of health, but also in terms of mental and behavioral training.

The former is very easy to understand, human beings will generally carry high-sugar and high-energy food when playing, which is to make up for the physical loss during activity and quickly replenish physical strength, and for animals whose activity is not so enough, this "energy bomb" will soon bring their bodies to the direction of sub-health.

Spiritually, animals that have been fed for a long time and have become accustomed to "begging" to obtain food will unconsciously become more "humble" in their eyes and behavior, and human beings, after enjoying the happiness of feeding and almsgiving, will no longer appreciate the beauty of these wild animals with the eyes of animals of the same status as themselves.

As far as zoos are concerned, they not only have to pay the price of the animals' health after being fed, but also accept the bitter fruit of the animals being full of snacks and unwilling to cooperate with behavioral training, and finally, they have to be pointed out by professional or some zoo knowledge that this zoo is not good, which is simply not pleasing anywhere.

So some people may ask, in this case, why do some zoos still make the grounds so easy to feed, and even break the jar to allow visitors to feed or even sell feeding packages?

In fact, there is only one answer – short-sightedness.

These people only see the status quo of attracting tourists to get ticket income, and are impressed by the small profits that can reduce the cost of feed, plus most zoos are publicly funded, even if the animals are sick or dead, they will not be held accountable, but if they want to spend money on renovations, there is a clear responsibility relationship, so they prefer to do nothing and change nothing, and the problems that existed decades ago are still persisting today.

As a result, the original intention of zoo keepers and exhibitors has been completely lost, and some tourists may say, what does this have to do with tourists?

This brings us to the difference between animals that beg and those that don't.

It's not an animal that begs, it's an animal, and all the actions it shows are to please you.

Wild animals that do not beg for food, their every action is to please themselves.

- "Feeding? That's just the smallest part of the story."

This short article has become a small fire in the circle, and many zoo visitors who have seen this article have left emotional messages in agreement, and these tourists have hung up the zoos they have been to and individual exhibition areas to write a small travelogue.

And that includes visitors to Daishan Zoo.

Although it is not overtly visible, Daishan Zoo is already a park that has been branded as a popular tourist attraction in Quancheng on social media!

But at this moment, no one thought that this discussion, which originated from Daishan Zoo, would be pushed to the peak of the topic because of an unexpected meeting.

At present, the three primate exhibits in Daishan Zoo are all built on the mountain, and the gorilla Randy exhibit is more gentle, but the native animals macaques and golden snub-nosed monkeys are very close to their original ecological living environment.

Both exhibits feature towering rocks, wild vines, unnamed trees jutting out from the cliffs, and trees far away from each other, competing for sunlight with their dense canopies.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the difference between the two exhibition areas is quite large.

For example, there is a waterhole in the macaque area where the monkey family can swim and play, while the golden snub-nosed monkey has only a babbling mountain stream and a small patch of bryophytes that grow in the stream.

For example, everyone is a tree, and the trees in the macaque area are tall and clean, but there are many small streamers floating on the trees in the golden monkey area.

"The scientific name of these streamers is pineapple, which is one of the most important foods of the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey, they are one of the oldest creatures on the earth, they like a humid and foggy, sunny environment, so they are widely grown in the alpine coniferous forest, and there are pineapples in Quancheng, where the Daishan Zoo is located, but because of the geographical location, most of them are on the cliffs, which is very difficult to obtain.

The director of the zoo specially asked a friend to bring these pineapples from the northeast, and then laid them on the trees little by little, and sprayed water mist and humidified them every day, so they worked hard to feed. ”

As a newly opened pavilion, Pu Luo served as the next temporary docent, and he motioned visitors to look at the completely inconspicuous "little streamers" and introduced them to these small details that visitors would never notice if they came alone.

"These pineapples can be eaten freely by the golden snub-nosed monkeys, but because the pineapples are abundant and rich in dietary fiber, they are actually quite lacking in nutrients and energy, and worse, they contain almost no protein, so the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys have to find other foods to supplement."

Pu Luo walked forward step by step, bringing the team to the side of the exhibition board, which he also painted in the primate exhibition area, with ready-made models, and the golden snub-nosed monkey catching pineapple to eat on the display board can be described as lifelike: "You can take a look, this is the different recipes of the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey throughout the year." The area inhabited by the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey has a distinct climate in four seasons, so in spring, summer, autumn and winter, their food varies depending on geographical conditions. This also gives the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey a special situation that is different from other primates - their stomach and intestines are adapted to the times, which is also a considerable difference between it and macaques. ”

The small flag waved to the four sections of spring, summer, autumn and winter, accompanied by the explanation, "For example, in spring, golden monkeys spend most of their time in the trees, and their food at this time is leaves, and in summer, they will go down to the ground, looking for germinated bamboo shoots and fungi, and will also properly ingest some bird eggs and insects, so their intestines are more adapted to digesting high-protein foods in summer." ”

"And in the fall, guess what they like to eat? That's right, wild fruits and nuts, which are rich in sugar and protein, so in autumn their gut becomes more adapted to digest and absorb sugar and protein, and in winter, when their diet is reduced to bark, resin and dead leaves, their intestinal probiotics work hard to break down these less digestible foods. ”

Pu Luo waved a small red flag, signaling everyone to follow him to a bamboo forest in the golden monkey exhibition area: "This bamboo forest is transplanted by us, there are moso bamboo, and hairy lady bamboo, etc., are some varieties with relatively high bamboo shoot yields, in the summer the golden snub-nosed monkey can be free to go down the tree to take bamboo shoots, this bamboo forest and the bamboo forest next door macaque exhibition area is not connected, in fact, they have a large cement jar under the soil, bamboo is a very strong herbaceous plant with spreading ability, if we do not use cement to seal its roots." It won't be long before it becomes a sea of bamboo. ”

One tourist immediately raised his hand and asked, "Isn't it good to turn into a sea of bamboo?" Isn't bamboo a good biological resource? ”

Pu Luo thought for a while, organized the language and said: "Bamboo is a very good biological resource, but bamboo has extremely strong exclusivity, its growth rate is fast and the height is high, as long as it is given the opportunity, it can grow quickly and seize the sunlight of other plants, causing other species to gradually disappear, and it will also make the animal news dependent on other plants gradually form a green desert." Panda? Although they are highly dependent on bamboo, they also need tall trees to climb to escape predators because of their tonnage, so to some extent, their feeding on bamboo is also helping the forest resist the 'invasion' of bamboo forests. ”

"If you travel to the south, you can feel the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest gives you more of a sense of quiet, there is no sound of birds and beasts, there is not too much insect sound, the trees are very tall, it seems to be very Zen, but this kind of Zen is not a good thing for the ecological chain, and the quiet is only because there are not so many creatures that depend on bamboo for survival."

Wow –

The tourists let out a sigh in unison and began to exchange ears, they did not expect that the bamboo forest would have such an explanation, and today they also learned a brand new word - green desert.

"Green deserts are also used to describe large planted forests, and in many places planted forests will choose some fast-growing trees to plant, which seem to meet the country's greening requirements, but do not have the characteristics of biodiversity, the forests are just forests, there is no other life in them, there is not much benefit to the local ecology, and even a lot of groundwater and fertilizer will be pumped, so it is no different from deserts, and the state has been dealing with these planted forests in recent years."

Pu Luo shook the small flag and dragged everyone's attention back to the golden monkey: "In the home of the golden snub-nosed monkey, the temperature is not particularly cold in winter, so the bamboo can remain evergreen, so the golden snub-nosed monkey will also eat bamboo leaves in winter, so the bamboo forest we planted here will also become the food of the golden snub-nosed monkey in winter." ”

"In fact, when you arrive at the macaque exhibition area, you can pay attention to the macaque food display board, and you will find that the macaque's recipe is much bigger than the golden snub-nosed monkey."

A tourist immediately answered: "That's why the golden monkey has become a guarantee, and the macaque is worthless." ”

The tourists burst into laughter and began to pull and step on the macaques and golden monkeys, of course, the golden monkeys and the macaques.

After all, as we all know, most macaques are hooligans, and golden monkeys are shy and elegant cuties.

Pu Luo patiently waited for everyone to finish publishing their various experiences with monkeys, and after listening to a series of stories about the seven aunts and eight aunts fighting wits and courage with macaques in Qianling Mountain, Emei Mountain and other places, he showed a mysterious smile.

"Then do you know why macaques and golden snub-nosed monkeys are the same monkeys, and there is such a big difference in personality?"

Tourists are listening to it.

Pu Luo smiled: "Actually, from an evolutionary point of view, macaques are more advanced than golden snub-nosed monkeys. ”

He first dropped the bomb, explaining to the shocked voices of the tourists: "Macaques are more adaptable, have higher IQs than golden monkeys, and they are more curious and good at learning, so they have a very important opportunity for animals to get close to humans." ”

"Everyone should have discovered a phenomenon that all creatures that are close to human beings, no matter how they are used, enslaved or even exploited by human beings, but as a result, their distribution range and number have increased considerably. Although macaques did not participate in the domestication of humans, their close contact with humans also gave them a benefit—"Pu Luo pointed to his stomach: "Their intestines and stomachs are highly adapted to human food. ”

"Macaques can digest foods high in sugar, cholesterol and energy, and they can even accept processed products such as chocolate made by humans, as well as foreign foods such as corn and peanuts, and even tobacco and alcohol, and they can have fun with it.

Pu Luo waved a small flag and motioned for everyone to look at the golden snub-nosed monkey basking in the sun gracefully in the cage: "But the golden snub-nosed monkey is a complete wild animal, and their stomach and intestines are not so highly adapted to human food. ”

"The reason why macaques have become the way they are is because they are intelligent enough, and they have discovered from their long-term contact with humans that humans are afraid of their robbery and intimidation, and they can get more food through means such as 'siege' and coercion, in short, they regard the process of getting along with humans as a kind of hunting process."

"That's what happens when they're able to learn and get too close to humans." Pu Luo pointed at the golden monkey with a flagpole: "Many people think that the golden monkey is docile, that is because the overlap between the living area of the golden monkey and humans is relatively small, and they are still in the run-in period with each other, and the golden monkey's demand and dependence on human food is also in the adaptation period." But if one day the snub-nosed monkey discovers that the human color is very strong and they gradually adapt to human food, it is difficult to say whether the golden snub-nosed monkey will become the next macaque. ”

His statement was immediately opposed by Golden Monkey fans, who said that the Golden Monkey is very elegant, not as fierce as a macaque at all, and it is impossible to become a macaque in the future!

Pu Luo shook his finger at them, and then led everyone to the next display board: "Here is a video of the battle of the wild population of golden monkeys in the estrus period, they are also very fierce in the estrus period, and on this display board, is the report of the early monkeys on Mount Emei and Qianling Mountain found by the director, you can take a look at the adjectives on it: docile, shy, polite, these words are now used on the golden monkeys." ”

Pu Luo said to the tourists who were shocked and speechless when they saw the golden monkeys with their canine teeth exposed in the video: "And many times in the wild, the macaque population does not dare to provoke the golden monkey population, after all, the size pressure is placed here, the reason why the Tibetan chief monkey in Qianling Mountain is more fierce than the macaque is also because of their larger size, although the golden monkey is more docile than the Tibetan chief monkey, its size and attack power are placed here, if humans continue to feed and get close to the golden monkey endlessly, then it may be a few decades," The population of the Splash Monkey is one more person in return. ”

"The best distance between humans and animals is to have good intentions, but keep a distance, because every action of humans will have a huge impact on animals."

A netizen wrote with emotion in his travelogue: Teacher Xiaopu's words shocked me a little at the time, but it was far less touching than the scene I saw when I went to the zoo for the second time.

The second time she went to the zoo, it was a crisp autumn in September, when the students returned to campus, and the popular crowded tourist attractions returned to the most comfortable state.

And then a scene that she didn't expect happened.

Her destination was actually the tall and handsome wolf house, but because the primate area was built later, there were many ramps to push strollers, so she walked from this side.

However, the child may not be very accustomed to the environment, when she walked to the primate area, the child began to cry, that day there were not many tourists, so she casually parked the stroller, picked up the child and began to coax, not a few minutes later, she suddenly heard the sound of soft knocking on the glass.

When she looked over, she saw a monkey with clear eyebrows looking at her, it was really clear eyebrows, she never realized that an ordinary macaque was so beautiful when it was calm, its fur was fluffy, its tail was supple, its hairy tail was golden in the sun, and its golden eyes were like autumn sunshine, bright and warm.

Because she was the only one nearby, the netizen leaned over with the child, she felt that at that moment she seemed to be a little enchanted, but she did have the idea that maybe the monkey could coax the little baby, and then the eyes of the macaque matched the eyes of her baby, the macaque's eyes widened, and it seemed to be a little puzzled how to have a little monkey that looked like this.

Its little paws gestured at the glass, as if trying to touch her baby, but it was obviously impossible.

So it immediately ran away, and before the netizen could stand up again, he saw the macaque swing from the tree again, and when he sat down again, it opened its arms, and it turned out that it was also holding a baby.

The baby macaque does not cry or make a fuss, and although it has experienced a high-altitude adventure, it seems to be very accustomed to it, but it is even more surprising that the baby who is as small as it is and is still lying in its mother's arms.
