I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 509
The road behind the predator exhibition area was originally blocked. I don''t know what is under construction. Now it has been opened.
Liu Wei and his team walked along the road for a while and found that behind them was an open lake. There were large reed marshes near the bank and no pavilions and waterside pavilions. Compared with the general park waterfowl lake, it looked more natural.
The original waterfowl Lake in many zoos is in the form of traditional gardens, and the environmental needs of animals are not considered in the design.
The most typical is the revetment near the lake, which goes up and down, causing obstacles to the activities of animals between land and water. There is no shelter for animals around the waterfowl lake.
On the side of Linhai zoo, the revetment is a slope convenient for waterfowl to go up and down.
On the edge of the revetment and on the lake, there are also scattered "floating" some fallen trunks and roots.
In fact, the support column is used to connect the trunk with the bottom of the lake. The support column can not be seen on the water.
Such semi floating tree roots not only have the smell of wetland landscape, but also provide a habitat for birds.
Five or six birds with white chests and black backs stopped on the tree trunk in the lake, and one just flew over.
These birds are night herons, which are widely distributed.
It was not introduced by the zoo, but originally existed nearby. It was attracted by the natural environment here.
In the middle of the lake, there are a group of yellow ducks swimming in the water, shrinking their heads and looking flat and fat.
It was the Red duck rescued by Linhai zoo.
At the beginning of reintroduction, some red ducks were not used to entering the water and only moved on the shore.
Now after the wild was released for a while, they gradually went into the water to play.
Some red ducks have begun to fly away from the waterfowl lake and go to the mountains near the zoo to explore the surrounding environment.
However, they didn''t fly away. They would fly back at night. They would sleep together for the night. In the morning, the breeder came to put food in, and then fly out after eating.
This is soft release!
Provide animals with a harbor for rest and food, so that they can gradually explore and adapt to the wild environment, exercise their ability, and leave naturally when they grow up.
The red ducks form different groups in the water. The soles of their feet move and ripple on the water.
As soon as the sun shines, the lake is full of broken gold.
Wu jiancong: "Oh, is this Beijing roast duck?"
Liu Wei was immediately happy, not to mention the duck. The yellow feathers really felt crispy.
There is no billboard on the side for the time being. Waterfowl lake has just repaired the nearby roads.
Wait until the zoo introduces some waterfowl, and then make the corresponding exhibition signs.
The beautiful environment has attracted many tourists for a walk.
Walking in the shade of tall trees on the bank, watching the waterfowl swimming leisurely in the lake, enjoying the cool and gentle breeze by the lake, it is really very comfortable.
An old man sat on a bench on the bank, watching the waterfowl and listening to the radio.
Some children also squatted down, put their hands out of the outer wooden fence and fiddled with the water, trying to interact with the Red duck.
But these ducks swim in the lake and don''t lean against it at all.
Volunteers watch by the water. If tourists want to throw some bread into the water, they will come forward to dissuade them.
Liu Wei and his family slipped around the waterfowl lake, went to the animal restaurant for lunch, and then went back.
Not only saw the rich behavior of elephants, but also saw the rarely seen panther, the beautiful posture of running and jumping.
Today''s visit can be said to be a happy return.
……
Wang Yan also came today and took a stroll around the zoo.
Fang Ye just saw it and immediately warmly invited him to sit in the reception room and have a chat.
Wang Yan also readily agreed.
Sitting on the sofa, he sighed, "Mr. Fang, your zoo is really good!"
Not polite words, but sincere praise!
The environment and abundant capacity of the elephant pavilion are amazing, but he thinks the best is the farmland at the door.
There is such a zoo in a city. Children can experience farming activities from childhood, know all kinds of small animals around them, understand what green agriculture and organic agriculture are, and talk about their experience of farming activities with the students in the class. When they grow up, they will certainly have a cordial feeling towards nature and become people who respect nature and love animals.
Moisten things silently.
He also visited the waterfowl lake and keenly noticed the inclined revetment.
This design is undoubtedly very friendly to waterfowl!
I can''t help thinking about the style of this waterfowl lake. Can Xinghe University refer to it?
The new campus is still building a teaching building, but the garden has not started.
If green lakes are designed to be more animal friendly, attract all kinds of animals and wild birds, and even build nests and reproduce in universities, it is really a good nature education course for students.
Before that, he chatted with Fang ye to discuss urban animals and how people and animals live in harmony.
Large protected areas are good, but only in sparsely populated areas. In densely populated areas, if it is impossible to set up special protected areas to make room for wild animals, cities and towns can also become a place for animals to inhabit and multiply.
As soon as he said his idea, Fang Ye smiled and said, "this is good! I heard Mr. Lu say this some time ago. "
Yanda is an example of habitat restoration in the past century.
Now Yanda has been incorporated into Peking University. At that time, Yanda covered an area of 100 hectares and the green space was about 40 hectares.
Within 40 hectares, there are more than 200 species of birds, 600 species of plants and 11 species of animals. In a densely populated area, so many wild animals can coexist with humans.
First, people''s awareness of ecological protection. Second, when building the campus, Yanda collected plants and seeds in the North China Plain and planted them on the campus.
Today, the appearance of green space is still the original. With such a base of vegetation, local animals can reproduce and have good biodiversity.
Speaking of local animals, Wang Yan recently conducted a survey of raccoon dogs near the sea by means of infrared camera, visit and inquiry, and found that there are really many raccoon dogs, and they have found traces of raccoon dogs in 30 communities.
However, residents are not sensitive to the wild animals around them and rarely notice them.
Someone found a raccoon dog walking the dog at night. There was a conflict between the dog and the raccoon dog. He took a picture, but he didn''t know what it was.
Now there are only occasional frictions. Wang Yan guesses that in another five years, raccoon dogs may have a general conflict with residents after they adapt to the city.
Fang ye said: "this is the responsibility of our zoo. At that time, build a pavilion to introduce raccoon dogs, so that citizens can understand how to get along with them."
