I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 607
This poem comes from Li Daoyuan''s Three Gorges, which is the content of the Chinese textbook of the first semester of the second day of junior high school!
Tang Xiaoxin has never heard what "ape chirp" looks like. When reciting this poem, she can only use the noisy cry of macaques in the zoo as a reference object. She has always wondered.
Such a noisy cry should be very upset. Why did the ancients feel very sad and full of tears?
After thinking about it, I can only hear their cries and think that the monkeys on the mountain in my hometown also call them, which causes homesickness, so I am sad and cry.
Now listening to the penetrating and melodious singing of gibbons, I can finally understand the feelings of the ancients.
It''s hard to describe their songs in words!
Standing on the opposite bank of gibbon Island, only a 10 meter wide river is separated between them. Listening to them singing in the trees at such a close distance, it is as if they are in the Golden Concert Hall in Vienna. The loud and clear singers stand on the stage and sing loudly. Their songs turn into a clear river, pouring down, and beautiful notes are tossed in the waves.
At the beginning of hearing this graceful and melodious strange song, I felt numb on my scalp and goose bumps on my arms.
Listen, gradually intoxicated, slowly relax and become light.
There are beautiful pictures in front of us, as if the sun passes through the branches and leaves, the rain and dew wet the trunk, and the water drops falling to the ground splash in the grass, bringing moisture to the earth and beautiful and fresh life.
The soul is washed by singing and seems to become more pure!
Every day when it is sunny and frosty at the beginning, the forest is cold and the streams are quiet. There are often high apes whistling. It is sad and strange. The empty valley makes a sound, and the sorrow turns to a long time.
Tang Xiaoxin recovered and felt that the gibbon''s song was not sad, but caused the vibration and resonance of human soul.
The listener''s feeling should be related to the environment and mood!
The autumn of the Three Gorges is bleak, the journey is long, and everything is silent. Listening to the long sound of apes, nature feels sad.
Like this sunny day and the long-awaited summer vacation, I can finally come to the zoo. I was very happy.
Hearing such a wonderful singing of gibbons, I feel excited and happy.
Turning to Qian Keke, "Wow, it''s really nice! What do you think?"
Qian kexiao said, "listening to their songs, I seem to be able to hear a carefree and happy feeling!"
Tang Xiaoxin agreed and nodded: "it seems so!"
The tourists around listen to the singing of gibbons, and their reactions are different!
Some adults closed their eyes, held their hands in front of their chest, shook their heads, and looked very intoxicated.
The children around them pulled their parents'' sleeves and shouted in surprise: "Ma Ma! Ma Ma! They are singing!"
Other children, listening to the sound of apes, ran back and forth excitedly, chasing the action track of gibbons on the island on the shore, and swinging their hands in the air.
The ring tailed lemurs on the nearby island, with their thighs open and their black claws facing the sky, meditated and practiced in the warm sun, looked brightly at the other bank, cocked up their ears and listened to the singing of two gibbons.
Some tourists couldn''t help laughing when they saw the interesting scenery.
Some people like to put some natural and soothing songs when practicing yoga, relax their body and mind under the guidance of music, so as to remove distractions, go deep into meditation and achieve better exercise results.
For ring tailed lemurs, maybe the singing function of gibbons is similar?
In addition to two gibbons, there are other animals on the island!
There are also several black monkeys, who will also sit on the treetops and listen to their neighbors sing.
They are black langurs, with a white stripe on their cheeks from the corners of their mouths to the base of their ears, like a "V". From a distance, they look like two beards on their cheeks.
At this meeting, a black leaf monkey squatted on the branch with one claw supporting his leg. He looked very big. He scratched his crotch, listened to the song, turned over from the branch, stood up, jumped not far away, and leaped and played on the vine perch.
Another black leaf monkey sat nearby, eating vegetable leaves in his hand and chewing.
There are also two American tapirs on the island, which will explore strangely in the exhibition area, with their heads down and sniffing on the grass.
Singing for such a long time is also a very exhausting thing for Gibbons!
After singing for more than ten minutes, he moved to the central stone mountain to rest.
Sitting on the trunk, combing each other''s fur, it looks very warm.
Gibbons need to be raised in the community. Gibbons raised alone will become depressed, have no appetite, listless and sleepy, let alone interested in singing.
But not all Gibbons can get along with each other.
Homosexual adult Gibbons without kinship are likely to conflict and fight when they meet.
So either a pair of male and female, or brothers and sisters who grew up together, or parents or single parents with offspring.
As Gibbons grow older and reach adulthood, parents will attack and drive their children away from themselves to find a spouse.
The gibbon brothers, sunny and sunny, are six years old, so they are not as harmonious as when they were children. They fight for food or territory from time to time.
In Houshe, they had to be caged because of the fierce fight one day. However, the two Gibbons looked at each other with barbed wire every day, and they were reluctant to leave each other.
Now the activity space outside is much wider, and the performance is still very harmonious.
While combing each other''s hair, he looked at the children running outside, picked a fresh leaf and chewed it twice.
Perhaps for them, it is also a fun in plain life to enjoy the tourists who come and go outside and yell.
Two Gibbons combed their fur, rested for a while, and chased and played again.
On a sunny day, he jumped into a tree below, stretched his slender ape arm, grabbed the trunk and swung half a circle.
Just when Tang Xiaoxin thought it was going to swing forward, he didn''t expect that the sunny day would continue to swing upward like a pendulum. He stood on the trunk from below. The ape arm grabbed the trunk above and walked on the ground.
Looking at the sun through the stone pillar, the two Gibbons looked at each other for a moment. On a sunny day, they jumped up from the tree trunk and hugged a bamboo pole next to them. The elastic bamboo pole was pulled down like a rubber band.
On a sunny day, he let go and bounced back to the perch. The bamboo pole also bounced up and swayed, and the bamboo leaves swayed around.
The sun quickly fell several layers, pulled a perch, pretended to chase, and swung from the inclined down to the inclined up, ready to go around the back.
The posture of jumping and moving in the tree is like a light and beautiful bird!
I''m afraid even the gymnastics champion can''t do such a difficult action. The trunk seems to be an extension of the arm.
However, the sunny day also saw through this move, and stopped immediately when the sun echoed.
Tang Xiaoxin was stunned: "Wow, awesome!"
