I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 666
The breeder said, "in the process of courtship, male penguins attract females from both visual and auditory aspects.
The first is to swing your head and swing your head left and right. This is not only to declare the ownership of the territory to other males, but also to attract passing girls.
Female penguins seem to have heart signs. They will take advantage of the victory to chase after them, shout donkey barks and sing a romantic love song.
If the female penguin agrees to courtship, the two penguins will bend down together, as if we human couples worship each other, so as to determine the partnership. "
"How interesting!"
Liu Wei will feel different when he listens to the donkey calls of these penguins!
I thought it was noisy, but now I feel a bit romantic.
It''s a matter of one''s own life. Can we not work hard.
Penguins also make no secret of their feelings. Just after a penguin''s cry falls, another loud donkey barks. For fear that their cry is small, my sister likes others.
Then a penguin crowed together, and the sound merged into a sea of donkey crowing, which was very lively.
Because of their loud noises, the whole exhibition area seems to be alive and vibrant.
Penguins walk funny and funny. They take small steps and jump with their feet when they meet the steps.
The wings hang down and swing on both sides of the body. It looks like walking around the living room in a large sleeved nightgown and slippers.
Yugong said: "we have a zoo in Hokkaido. There will be penguin parade. Penguins walk in a row in the snow. It''s fun."
Liu Wei said: "the little pandas here sometimes come out for a walk and take a walk. It''s also very cute!"
When a tourist heard their discussion, he asked the keeper eagerly, "by the way, do we penguins have a parade?"
The breeder explained, "well, there is a plan! But now the weather is still hot. If you go outside on the road, your feet may be scalded on the hot ground, so it''s not suitable to go out for a walk.
You see, in our exhibition hall, we put ice cubes and water mist devices on them. Water is sprayed on stones to cool down.
Including the design of a slide in the exhibition area, which allows penguins to slide into the water, because they didn''t take it out in the hot weather.
When the temperature drops in autumn, you may see them out for a walk. "
The rain palace was surprised and said, "Wow, you really work hard!"
Liu Wei said with a smile: "indeed! I thought the keeper''s job was to shovel shit and feed food. After visiting the zoo for a few times, I knew that this was very particular. It didn''t mean that I could do it casually."
A penguin came to the edge of a wide stone, pawed on the edge, leaned forward slightly and adjusted its posture.
Then he spread his wings, lowered his head forward, fell naturally from the stone, plunged into the water and splashed a spray.
It looks clumsy on the shore. As soon as you enter the water, the swimming posture becomes flexible and beautiful!
Put the soles of your feet behind you and rise up, like the tail of a fish. The thin wings stretch back and slide forward a few meters.
With a conical head, smooth skin and streamlined body, there is little resistance when swimming. It looks like a small plane in the water.
Gently swing your wings and swim leisurely in the water.
Sometimes they crisscross with their companions and sometimes emerge from the water. Some swim sideways to light up their white belly to tourists.
Someone asked curiously, "are penguins birds?"
The tourists immediately talked about it: "bird?"
The rain palace thought, "it should be a bird? But it looks like a fish when it swims."
Liu Wei said, "fish is too outrageous. It should be regarded as a beast!"
The breeder and other tourists discussed it and said with a smile: "penguins have beaks, wings, feathers, and the breeding method is hatching eggs. Of course, birds!"
People were surprised: "eh?"
"Do you have feathers? Isn''t this body leather?"
The keeper said, "although the penguin''s body looks very smooth, it actually has feathers! Just for the convenience of swimming, the feathers grow very obedient close to the body.
I have penguin feathers on me. I picked them up when I was cleaning. You can have a look. "
The feathers were raised and the people looked up. The white feathers were small and fluffy.
"Let''s take a look at the edge of the pool and look for it carefully! We''re sure to find it.
And when they come ashore, pay attention to the penguin. It''s turning its head and combing its feathers.
Penguins walk in a strange way. Their legs are wrapped in fat like our human squatting horse steps. They feel short and can''t fly. They don''t really look like birds, which is easy to misunderstand. "
At this time, a breeder in rain boots came out with an iron bucket.
"Dinner, dinner!"
Take some fish out of the bucket and throw them into the water.
The penguins are boiling!
The penguins in the water just swam leisurely. At this time, they sprint quickly!
Predict the place where the fish fell in advance. As soon as the fish touched the water, a penguin''s head poked out and swallowed it.
Penguins on the shore, like dumplings, can''t wait to "poop poop" jump into the water and stir up white waves one after another.
The surface of the water surged for a time, and the water splashed against the big stone on which the penguin had just stood, as if the waves were beating against the cliff.
Some Penguins fight for fish, peck each other with their mouths, roll up and down in the water, entangle, and separate for a moment.
The tourists issued bursts of exclamation.
"Wow, you swim so fast!"
"Look, those two are fighting!"
Spotted billed ring penguins are lively and active. It is common to fight at ordinary times.
Especially when it''s time for dinner, it''s bound to fight.
The breeder outside is in front of the glass curtain wall, observing carefully and taking out a book to record what!
After a while, the penguins ate the fish and continued to swim leisurely in the water, or returned to the shore to sing love songs and lie down by the ice.
The keeper put away the book and explained, "just now, because they had to count how many fish they ate, they didn''t care to talk to everyone, otherwise they would be distracted."
"Wow, how can you tell so many penguins? Can you count them?"
"The color ring at the root of penguin''s wings is called wing band! This is their business card. Generally, males wear it on the right and females wear it on the left, and there are different color combinations. It''s our job to record the diet.
The food of penguins is fresh small yellow croaker. Every day we have to select the fish first. The fish with golden color and more elasticity will be fed. The fish with dark color and no elasticity may lose more nutrition, so this kind of fish will not be fed.
We have to deal with it. Remove the gills and intestines of the fish. When removing them, we can''t break the body of the fish. We must have a complete one, otherwise the penguins may hurt the esophagus. "
