I Have a Safari Park

Fang Ye was a little relieved to see the netizens' attitude towards wild boars changed.

The famous zoologist Jane Goodall once said that the public may know more about her story with chimpanzees. I have never heard of this sentence, but it is very famous in the industry. It is called "Only understanding can Caring, only caring can act.”

If you want people to protect animals, the first step is to let people understand animals first!

Otherwise, you don't really want to protect, can you play a protective role? At most, you just say it verbally.

Continued: "The role of wild boars is more than that. When they rub trees and roll on the ground, they can help mosses and ferns to spread seeds, thereby increasing the species diversity in the active area, and research on wild boars It also shows that the arching behavior of wild boar has a positive effect on the regeneration of annual and perennial plants in the acid and arid grassland.

In winter, wild boars will turn over thick snowdrifts when feeding and turning the ground. The exposed ground provides birds and other small mammals with opportunities to eat seeds, insects and other food.

It can be said that wild boars provide survival guarantee for many other animals to survive the difficult winter!

Moreover, wild boars are omnivores, they are open to anyone, they eat everything, and they are also scavengers and eat animal carcasses.

Tigers and leopards, including bears, generally only eat the prey they kill. Unless there is a shortage of food, they will scavenge, because the freshly caught prey is delicious and nutritious, and they eat other dead bodies and become infected with parasites. risks of.

The wild boar is the most important scavenger in the forest, playing the role of decomposer, equivalent to the vulture on the grassland wilderness!

If a large-scale animal death event occurs suddenly due to abnormal weather, germ outbreaks, wildfires, etc., there are no scavengers like wild boars in the ecosystem at this time, or the dead animals are far more than they can digest. If the number of decaying corpses is long, some gas and acidic corpses will be decomposed, polluting the soil, changing the soil structure, and causing the death of plants. The impact is very far-reaching.

Therefore, maintaining a certain number of wild boars is of great significance for maintaining the health of the forest ecosystem. "

After listening to Fang Ye's words, netizens couldn't help but start rewarding!

"President is Mengxin 1" rewarded 1 rice ball: "66666, this is the first time I heard such a comprehensive popular science about wild boars, and knowing that wild boars have such important ecological significance really broke my impression of wild boars!

Hey, I feel a little guilty when I think about it, the wild boar is so good, I joked before that I want to eat braised pork, give a small reward, and buy an apple for the wild boar to eat! "

"The end of the world is at this time" gave a rocket: "What happened to the animals, many people's first thought is to kill the animal that caused the trouble. , what would be the consequences of being killed.

Hey, I'm really worried that the current public opinion will lead to wild boars being killed, just like the wolves back then, and I'll regret it later. "

"2021X Tutu" rewarded 8 shrimp balls: "I pay attention to the principal because I like red pandas, foxes and other cute and cute animals. I feel very happy and healed when I watch them play, like wild boars. I'm not interested in ugly animals at all.

But after such a popular science by the principal, seeing the wild boar feels a lot more pleasing to the eye, and it seems to be quite cute! Pig is really a natural gardener in the forest! "

"Chen Nian EVA" rewarded a plane: "I just paid attention, I used to think that the zoo is a place that persecutes animals, and I didn't go there much when I grew up, but now I know that the zoo is also responsible for rescuing animals, and it is so serious. Do science popularization, and if you have the opportunity, you must go to your zoo to play!"

"Evil 魑魍魍" gave away 66 light sticks: "Haha, I am a fan of the gardener, and the gardener's zoo is indeed a great one in China!

I think this is how zoos should be, not only to introduce star animals such as tigers and elephants, but also to introduce animals that are often seen in our lives but are not valued, such as wild boars. This is the first time I know the ecological value of wild boars. There are too many prejudices against wild boars. "

"Sunset Weeping Snow 2000" rewarded a rice ball: "I suddenly thought that if the wild boars die in large numbers, wouldn't there be a lack of scavengers to clean up their corpses?

Sure enough, there are still predators like tigers, and the more complex the ecological environment, the more stable it is. "

Fang Ye saw this barrage and said with a smile: "The 'setting sun weeping snow' classmate is right, in fact, the existence of each species has its own ecological value!

Of course, discussing the ecological value of a species is also based on population numbers. A large number needs to be controlled, and a small number needs to be protected.

Are wild boar populations low or widespread? This requires an infrared camera to do some data collection. Only through scientific investigation can we say whether it is more or less. It is impossible to judge based on impressions or farmers' oral statements.

According to some papers I found, in many areas where wild boars have caused conflicts between humans and animals, their numbers are still relatively low.

It may be because wild boars eat a lot, and they are very powerful, leaving a mess in the ground, giving people the illusion of a large number. There is an example in the survey. It was found that a wild boar mother brought three little piglets. Repeated visits to the farmland, the whole mountain is just a herd of pigs and a few individual individuals, such a number cannot withstand slaughter. "

"777" asked again: "Director, is this wild boar rescued and ready to be released into the wild? I've been to many zoos but I haven't seen a wild boar yet.

Otherwise, stay in the zoo and teach tourists popular science! I feel very good! "

Fang Ye said: "It still has to be released, after all, it is also eager to find a wife to breed offspring.

However, before the release, we need to do some preparatory work. First, we need to investigate the environment around Linhai to see the distribution of wild boars and see which areas have young sows before releasing them. Otherwise, they will not be able to find them after they are released. To the wife to break into the city again.

By the way, do some publicity and education with nearby farmers, help them take some measures to prevent wild boars, and discuss with the government about the compensation mechanism for farmers. "

Wild boar is not a key protected animal after all!

If you don't focus on protecting animals, it will be a bit troublesome to compensate. However, the city still attaches great importance to zoos, and green and ecological cities can also add image points. If you work hard, you should be able to advance the work in this area.

For wild boars, which may cause frequent human-animal conflicts, the release work needs to be extra cautious.

After talking so much, I was a little tired. I glanced at the milk tea wild boar, took out two stalks of corn from the food basket, opened the door and threw it into the middle of the cage.

The milk tea wild boar trotted over, and it was estimated that after seeing Fang Ye staying here for so long, nothing happened, and he felt a little more relaxed.

This time, I didn't bring it back to the corner, but ate it right there.

First, he stretched his hoof over and stepped on the edge of the corn, then lowered his head and used his long nose to peel off the leaves of the corn, and then nibbled at the corn kernels.

The netizen said in surprise: "So you eat rice like this? You know you have to peel off the leaves."

"I thought it was just crunched and swallowed. It's a bit of a pick. I only eat corn kernels."

Fang Ye smiled and said: "The corncob is also eaten! It's just that the seeds are eaten before eating the cob. Corn is a favorite food of wild boars. It has a high starch content and has a shaping effect on their bodies.

Okay, so what else do you want to ask? Off the air without me? "

"Goodbye, principal! Bye!"

"Thank you, the principal, Kop!"
