I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 683
"Porcupine''s thorn armour is invincible. No animal can cure it. It should be in a large number. It''s very common, but I feel porcupine is a very rare animal?"
"The last invincible has stopped thinking!"
"Apart from others, they will throw stones far away. Homo sapiens with big sticks can''t cope with them!"
Fang ye said with a smile, "although the porcupine''s thorn is very powerful, it is not without defects!
Their spines grow backward. These spines are very effective against conventional predators, because most predators approach their prey from the rear and then attack. At this time, as long as the hair is up, the predator will have no move.
However, some predators are very smart! For example, foxes, they will turn around porcupines and start from the front. There are wolves hunting in clusters, which surround you. If you can care about your ass, you can''t care about your head.
Moreover, the thorn falls off after use and takes a period of time to grow. If you encounter a difficult opponent and run out of thorns, the porcupine loses its defense and becomes very fragile. Anyone can start.
In addition, their reproduction is very troublesome. They only have estrus in autumn and winter every year, and the pregnancy period is very long. They give birth once a year in about 90-110 days. Generally, there are two or three in a litter, and there is a lactation period of up to 50 days after birth.
Porcupine has just become a mother and is still raising children. Rodent mice and rabbits can be grandparents. "
"I see!"
"The male porcupine said that with so many thorns, mating alone is very hard, and he still wants to flood?"
"What you said is also very reasonable!"
Fangye said, "when mating, the female porcupine will stick the thorn down."
As he spoke, he called the breeder and threw some corn kernels into the field.
Shua! Shua!
Two handfuls of corn kernels were thrown in, and the porcupine lying on the ground in the sun suddenly stood up. The cautious porcupine was still hesitating in place, and the more lively relics ran towards the corn kernels.
Although porcupine is small, it still starts very fast!
Like a sweeping robot with long legs and legs, it ran to the front of the activity field and ate corn.
In order to occupy the delicious food, a grumpy porcupine also erected a thorn on its back, and suddenly its body expanded a lot, a bit like a peacock.
The tail shook and made a clear sound of "clack clack", made a threatening appearance, and hit his companion backwards.
The intimidated porcupine looked at it and did not intend to conflict. He walked away to another place.
Netizens just heard Fang Ye introduce the way of porcupine intimidation. At this time, they immediately heard a burst of exclamation.
An old man with white hair and a child seemed to be a pair of grandsons. They went to the zoo together. They stopped at the porcupine exhibition area and watched the porcupine eat corn with interest.
The grandson asked curiously, "Grandpa, have you seen this?"
The old man remembered: "porcupine, there was this thing on the mountain before! The land was barren, the grain yield was not high, wild boars and scarecrows were useless, and the land was often arched in a mess.
Once my eldest brother and I went to the mountain to plant sweet potatoes. When we saw the sweet potato residue extending all the way to the bushes, we suspected that there was something hiding. It would be brave and didn''t think much. We cut the bushes with a machete to reveal a soil bag.
A thing covered with thorns stuck out of my head and startled me. It was a porcupine! Then I retracted into the soil bag. I set up a firewood pile outside and wanted to smoke it out with smoke. While burning, I fanned the smoke in with my clothes.
But after burning for a while, the eldest brother ran over and asked me why. He scolded me and said if you wanted to burn the mountain. The two rushed to the fire. When the fire was extinguished, the two porcupines ran out of the hole and disappeared into the grass behind. "
Grandson said seriously, "Grandpa, you can''t hurt wild animals!"
"Ha ha, it''s all the past."
Netizens also heard the story told by grandpa and joked: "set fire to the mountain and sit at the bottom of the prison!"
"A wisp of smoke on the mountain, the police station at the foot of the mountain!"
When they left, Fang ye said, "I just said that there were porcupines in the mountains when I was a child. This is what our local exhibition area especially wants to show tourists to let everyone know the local animals.
Of course, everyone is willing to pay attention to star animals such as giant pandas, elephants and tigers. Many people come to the zoo specifically for them, but they know little about local animals.
Most zoos do not care much for local animals.
Yellow breasted babbler, carved owl, white headed Bulbul, wild boar, porcupine, otter, dragonfly and frog are all beautiful and attractive animals. If you say it''s extreme, even if the zoo only displays these local animals, it''s very interesting. What do you think?
Except for birds and small insects, most people rarely see native animals. They may only have heard of their existence from their elders.
Introduce some of these local animals to the public, understand that they have been together with themselves for thousands of years, and come up with the idea of "there are still such animals nearby" and "how beautiful". The purpose of our local exhibition area has been achieved.
In the future, the exhibition area of native animals may gradually expand, and some animals that cannot return to nature after being injured in the rescue center will also be displayed here. "
Netizens marveled: "I think it''s great! If citizens have seen these animals in the zoo, they won''t easily hurt them if they see them again in the future. They will also pay more attention to the surrounding environment and don''t litter in the wild."
"I really envy Linhai people to have such a zoo! I have lived in my hometown for more than 30 years from childhood. I never know what animals are around me."
"I think this can be promoted in zoos all over the country. The local exhibition area of each local zoo is composed of local animals. It is unique! It can best create its own characteristics, and the citizens must like it."
"It''s hard! Most zoos are thinking about how to make money and introduce star animals. These ordinary animals are not interested in showing. Linhai zoo can be said to be a wonderful flower."
"I like animals and have applied to be a breeder for a while, but it''s very different from what I thought. My daily task is to solicit customers, sell goods and let tourists feed. After a while, I''m not interested in resigning. The breeders here think about how to enrich animals and make animal life more fun every day. The red fox breeders hide food in various places and make fake movements. Really It''s heaven and earth. "
