I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 707
The breeder pointed to the back.
These snow monkeys are all bathing in the hot spring. Only one of them squats on the stone at the edge of the hot spring alone!
His expression was a little lonely. He looked straight in a direction. His eyes seemed to pass through the hazy fog, through the enclosure of the zoo, and looked at his distant hometown.
The keeper said, "the monkey king is the one sitting on the side without taking a hot spring! His name is Dahei and his character is relatively lonely."
Although it''s called big black, in fact, the fur is still gray, but the color is a little heavier, as if it was painted with a brush dipped in ink.
Yugong''s heart looked at Da Hei and felt that it was a monkey with only a story!
Can monkeys also be homesick and miss their relatives?
Of course, it may also be worrying about other things.
Big black squatted like this, and a little snow monkey saw it in a daze.
He climbed out of the hot spring, ran to the edge of the big black and stuck to his body.
It seems that it is too cold for a big black monkey to stay in such weather, and a companion is needed to help it warm up.
Big black didn''t pay attention to it. He still had a cold expression and turned a blind eye to the snow monkey.
The snow monkey leaned against big black''s strong thigh and grabbed the hair on his stomach.
Big black is lonely and doesn''t like to get along with other monkeys. He''d rather stay alone.
Walking on all fours on the stone at the edge of the hot spring pool, the snow monkey turned his head and looked puzzled.
Big black walked a few steps, squatted down and jumped!
The strong body jumped onto a stone, and then jumped gently to the distance.
Little snow monkey scratched the hair on his chest. His eyes were innocent and ignorant. He didn''t know why big black didn''t like to stay with him. He ran over with him!
Several other snow monkeys in the hot spring couldn''t stay when they saw their companions coming ashore.
One after another ran after Da Hei, gathered around him and pestered him not to let him go.
Big black squatted in the snow with his claws in his arms and his head down.
After looking at the naughty snow monkey, his head suddenly stretched forward and his mouth opened slightly!
He made a threatening appearance and startled the snow monkey.
He sat on the ground, raised his claws to defend, and looked at big black at a loss.
Big black looked at it for two seconds, his mouth closed, his serious face looked relaxed and soft, and blinked twice.
Like an old-fashioned elder, pretending to be angry and teasing children!
The snow monkey regained his mind and turned to play with his companions.
Big black lowered his head again, holding his claws. He didn''t know what he was thinking.
However, he occasionally raised his head and glanced at the playing snow monkeys with the remaining light from the corner of his eyes, showing kindness in his eyes.
For snow monkeys, the most important thing every day is to play carefree.
A snow monkey made a snowball with its claws. A companion behind him took advantage of it, ran two steps in the snow and jumped onto its back flexibly!
Holding his back, he jumped up easily before he got up, somersaulted and fell in the air, and performed a difficult acrobatics.
The little snow monkey held his snowball in front of his chest with one front paw and ran away quickly, with his companions chasing after him.
They play snowball, not like human beings smashing each other, but like football, protecting the snowball from other monkeys and chasing their snowball companions.
I don''t know how these snow monkeys invented this game.
The process of playing is also practicing the competition in the future!
The snow monkey who first ran out of the hot spring made a snowball, held it in his two claws, stood up and walked, came to Dahai, wanted Dahai to play with him, but Dahai refused.
Big black squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it. The little snow monkey was pulling the snow pile to play.
Looking at such a harmonious scene, apricot couldn''t help sighing: "how much love!"
Rain Palace said: "big black looks very cold and heartless, but in fact, his heart is still very gentle!"
Apricot nodded and said, "although he doesn''t want to play with the little monkey, he didn''t drive the little monkey away."
A tourist asked curiously, "don''t I remember that macaques have class? The beautiful female monkey king chooses first, and the delicious food is also eaten by the monkey king first. Other monkeys should respect the monkey king. Why can these snow monkeys soak in the hot spring together, and the little monkeys are not very regular."
The breeder explained, "yes, the snow monkey is the same rule!
This hot spring pool has plenty of places for these snow monkeys to soak together.
If there are too many monkeys, the monkey king and other deputy leaders, high-level females and cubs can soak first. If other monkeys want to soak, they will be driven away by attack.
But snow monkeys are more united! In the face of severe winter, only unity can survive better.
The leader will also coordinate to let everyone squeeze and give a place, so as not to break out into greater conflict.
After a conflict, snow monkeys groom their companions and make up again. Grooming is the adhesive for monkeys to maintain their feelings. Through grooming, they can maintain hygiene, get free food and be calm, which is good for both sides. "
"Monkeys are also a small society! The relationship is so complex."
"Their social life is quite interesting."
Seeing the tourists fascinated, the keeper smiled and explained: "we humans can get warm by adding clothes and heating, snow monkeys can get warm by soaking in hot springs, and other animals also have different ways to deal with the cold!
The most common way is to make a cave for heating!
Small animals like lemmings dig out small snow pits to create an isolated environment for themselves, just like Eskimo ice houses. They also dig tunnels so that they can survive comfortably even if the wind is strong and the weather is cold.
Animals such as foxes and wolves will wear thick fur in winter to keep out the cold. When the weather is warm, they will wear shorter fur.
Emperor penguins living in Antarctica often stand on the cold ice and snow. With a special circulation system, they can adjust the blood flow according to the foot temperature, so that their feet can get enough blood. The temperature is several degrees higher than the freezing point, and they will not be frozen because of contact with the ice.
Amphibians and reptiles such as turtles, snakes and lizards hibernate in winter and slow down their metabolism until they recover on warm days.
When winter comes, some migratory birds will make long-distance migration to warmer places for winter! Recently, some yellow breasted babblers came to our zoo for winter. They can be seen occasionally in the rice fields in the local exhibition area.
Other animals may rely on human made warmth for the winter. For example, some stray cats will get under the car engine and warm their bodies by the heat of the engine. "
