I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 501
The breeder found the abnormality here and shouted: "brother Aotian! Come on, come on, give you a carrot! "
Lead brother Aotian away with food.
Another keeper took the towel and said kindly, "have you been sprayed with saliva? Wipe it with a towel. There''s a tap over there to wash it. Our Alpaca has a temper. If someone laughs at it, it may spit. "
Zhu Yu took the towel and mopped a little saliva on his face.
I slobber and make complaints about it. "This mouth is so disgusting! Alpacas really can''t be easily provoked. "
Wu jiancong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "it''s OK!"
The episode between and alpaca did not affect the interest of several people.
Together with the crowd, we came to the elephant Pavilion!
The first impression of the elephant Pavilion is that it is open.
At a glance, it is wide and boundless. It is paved with yellow sand.
In the middle of the site, more than ten meters away from tourists, is a large pond, and dense woods can be seen in the distance.
There are also several shade sheds distributed in the middle of the site like big mushrooms!
There is a trench about three meters wide and several meters deep between the playground and tourists. The edge of the trench of the playground is surrounded by thick logs to prevent elephants from turning over the trench. Tourists are also isolated by bushes, green belts and a wooden fence.
Liu Wei couldn''t help exclaiming, "this venue looks so big!"
In the Linhai zoo, the area of the lion hall and the tiger hall is very large, but the elephant hall is even more forthright.
Gao Kaijin said, "ah, there''s an elephant over there!"
A huge Asian elephant covered with yellow dust.
This will stand by a small puddle on the side of the ditch and look at the tourists with interest across the ditch.
Several people hurriedly gathered together.
Many tourists have been surrounded nearby. The tourists look at the elephant and shout loudly: "Wow, elephant!"
"Boy, look at the elephant!"
There are also children waving their hands to greet the elephant.
It''s just plain, plain, young, lively and playful.
Although it has been hurt by human beings, it is also human beings who save it, and their attitude towards human beings is generally friendly.
When the rescue center was hoisted for transportation, I was very worried about my future fate!
Unexpectedly, after coming to Linhai zoo, the activity ground here is constantly open, and the environment seems to be specially prepared for elephants. It''s very comfortable to live.
After the quarantine period, he soon became happy.
Looking at the cheering tourists outside, Pu fan''s ears fluttered back and forth happily.
Give you a surprise!
Use your nose to suck up water in the puddle, then raise your long nose, shake and "poof" to spray the water towards the tourists. Suddenly, a water curtain rises in the sky and sprinkles white spray.
"Oh!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Tourists sprayed by elephants suddenly screamed, and others screamed excitedly!
Flat mouth open, seems to be smiling happily!
Liu Wei wiped the spray on his head and said with a smile, "Wow, he was drenched by an elephant!"
Zhu Yu said, "it''s quite fun!"
Being sprayed by alpacas and being sprayed by elephants are completely different experiences.
Even tourists crowded around to experience the feeling of being drenched by elephants!
Wu jiancong said, "sexy elephant, spray water online!"
Gao Kaijin raised his eyebrows: "huh? Brother, something''s wrong with you! "
However, he shook his nose, seemed to wave goodbye to the people, and soon walked away.
Went to a place and stopped. There was a huge column lying on the ground.
The length can be two meters and the diameter is about one meter!
Half was buried in the sand, leaving a semicircular section on the ground with some circular holes on it.
Gao Kaijin looked a little curious: "what does this thing do?"
Pingping went to the pillar and put his nose into the round hole on the pillar. It seemed that he was exploring something in it.
Liu Wei had some doubts, but when he saw this scene, he remembered that when he visited, he listened to the breeder explain what he had learned, and guessed: "is this a Fengrong? Hide the food in it. "
When Liu Wei said this, his friends immediately responded: "Oh! It should be! "
When you see an exhibition board next to it, you will have an introduction to Fengrong cement column.
Elephants are very clever animals. They don''t like to eat food piled on the ground. It''s very boring.
Like to eat in complex ways, like challenging ways.
The open space is only one of the conditions for raising elephants in the zoo. If there is not enough to attract their interest, elephants will stand bored in situ and will not walk back and forth in the activity field.
The elephant can''t see what''s going on inside this abundant cement column. He can only use his nose to determine the location of food, and then stretch his nose into the circular hole above to look for food in the sand.
The elephant''s trunk is not only strong enough to pull up a big tree, but also smart enough to pick up a leaf. At the same time, it is full of olfactory and tactile receptors. The sense of smell is also extremely sensitive.
According to zoologists, elephants have twice the olfactory sensitivity of hounds and can sense the smell of water from 19 kilometers away.
Therefore, this kind of Fengrong cement column not only exercises the sense of smell, but also exercises the ability of flexible bending and grasping of the nose.
The effect is more than that!
When the elephant crosses the concrete column, it also bends its knees and legs to exercise the flexibility of its joints.
It can be said to be multi-purpose.
After groping for a while, he took out a carrot and ate it.
I saw three elephants gathered in the distance, so I also walked over!
When Liu Wei saw several elephants in the distance, they all raised their noses. It seemed that they were patting something. There were a lot of things falling down. He didn''t know what he was doing.
With great interest, he said, "go and have a look!"
There are many tourists here!
When Wu jiancong saw a man surrounded by tourists, his eyes lit up: "Yo, isn''t this the head of the garden!"
Zhu Yu said, "the big Druid is also in the trough. What I admire most is the principal."
The elephant Pavilion is open. Of course, Fang Ye wants to come and have a look.
By the way, he acted as a commentator and answered questions and doubts to tourists with a smile.
The biggest elephant over there is Bobo, and the other two are Meiling and Meilan
Bobo is a 43 year old female elephant, which was transferred from other zoos.
Bobo looks a little old and not in good health.
For captive elephants, this age is actually very old. Few zoos can keep elephants well.
But if you keep it well, you should still be able to live for a long time.
Like the big leopard in nishiyo, he was in poor physical condition. As a result, after he was caged with Princess Aoxue, he was more active, happy and mentally healthy year by year.
Meiling and Meilan are from the same elephant camp. The two elephants have a good relationship. The original name is not easy to transliterate, so they all have a new Chinese name.
There is a male elephant that can''t be transported until June.
