I Have a Safari Park

What catches the eye is the first crocodile exhibition area after entering!

In the middle of the dense jungle is a narrow and long area about 40 meters long and 15 meters wide. Near the tourist viewing surface is a babbling stream, and behind the stream is a bit of muddy grass.

The crocodile exhibition area does not need to be particularly large, the most important thing is to provide a pool, sunbathing platform and shade.

Especially for large-tonnage crocodiles, they can move comfortably only under the buoyancy of water. If they stay on the shore for a long time, their weight will put a great burden on their internal organs and have a great impact on their health.

Several dark-colored and huge crocodiles were either lying still on the grass and mud, or slowly floating in the water, exposing their heads and half of their bodies on the water.

The smaller ones are more than two meters long, and the largest one looks almost 5 meters long, longer than an average car!

Although it was lying on the grass with its mouth closed, it looked lazy and lacked the slightest momentum, but looking at its fierce teeth exposed outside its mouth, with such a giant body shape, it must be extremely fierce when hunting!

Dawu's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide: "I'll drop a tortoise! ​​Such a big crocodile is awesome!"

If he saw the Chinese alligator statue at the corner before, his exclamation was a little more active.

But the current exclamation is completely sincere, and there is no falsehood at all!

Lin Hao held the railing with his hand and looked at the giant crocodile on the grass opposite the stream, with its scales neatly arranged like chainmail, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Fuck, it's so fierce! What kind of crocodile is this? "

The railings here are the same as the Lion Bridge, and the gaps between the railings are protected by iron nets, mainly to prevent younger children from being squeezed down, and it is dangerous to fall.

There is also a striking warning sign on the railing, which is a pattern of a mother holding a child sitting on the railing, which is circled in red and hit with a slash. The meaning is obvious, do not engage in such dangerous actions.

Lily looked at a sign next to it seriously: "This is a crocodile! Wow, it is said that the crocodile is the largest of all crocodiles, and it is also the largest reptile in the world!"

Tourists snapped photos and talked lively.

Reactions vary, some are excited, some are curious, some are scared!

"This is the first time I've seen such a big crocodile!"

"Everyone must die! Who is the next piece of meat on the cutting board!"

Lin Hao smiled knowingly, as soon as he heard it, he was an old crocodile player.

"I've seen the crocodile hunting scene in the documentary, it's especially brutal!"

"Why are these crocodiles so motionless, like a lump of wood, are they specimens?"

"It looks fake, do you want to throw a rock at it?"

"I'll go find a piece on the side of the road."

Dawu heard the two tourists laughing and chatting next to him, frowned and turned his head: "Do you have a hole in your head? If you want to know if the crocodile is alive, why don't you just jump in and verify it yourself?"

Lin Hao was startled and cried out in his heart, "Fuck!"

He was a little angry when he heard the two people say they were going to throw stones at the crocodile. He wondered if there was a breeder nearby to talk about it.

The two tourists didn't expect that someone suddenly scolded them, the man with glasses was stunned, and the man with the backpack became angry: "Are you sick!"

When the surrounding tourists heard the quarrel, they all turned their attention!

Dawu saw the tourists staring at him, his chest became more straight, and he raised his voice and said sternly: "Did you hear the fire, these two were going to pick up rocks and smash the crocodile just now! The crocodile stayed there well, you have to smash it A stone is gone, this behavior is not bad!"

Lily immediately stood up to support Dawu, and said very aggressively: "If you don't move when you sleep, I want to know whether you are asleep or dead. Can you throw a stone at you?"

"Oh!!"

"The little girl said it well!"

The old tourists have erected a correct sense of visit, and they hate this uncivilized visit behavior. Other tourists also followed the principle of applauding.

The intelligent monitoring captured the situation here, and the voice of the monitoring commissioner came from the loudspeaker behind: "Tourists please visit in a civilized manner, don't quarrel, the breeder will come right away."

Said to be right away, Xiaochuan, a breeder in the crocodile area, emerged from the ground. It turned out that the breeder was actually here all the time.

Two visiting spots in the crocodile area, one above ground and one underground!

On the ground, you can observe the scene of the crocodile lying on the lawn and floating on the water surface. You can follow the inclined slope to the ground, and you can enjoy the swimming posture of the crocodile in the water through the glass curtain wall.

The backpack man was so angry that his face turned red: "Is it cerebral palsy, crocodiles are cold-blooded animals, and they don't feel pain, can they be the same as people!"

Hearing the words of the man with the backpack, Xiaochuan showed a somewhat speechless expression and said, "Cough, this tourist, first of all, please correct me, cold-blooded animal is a popular name, so it is inaccurate.

The exact name is ectotherm, which means that the body temperature of the animal will change with the change of the environment.

Except for birds and mammals, all other animals are ectotherms.

There is also a big misunderstanding, which is also a traditional misunderstanding, that is, cold-blooded animals mean cold-blooded and ruthless, as if they have some superpowers, they don’t eat, drink, pull or spread, and they don’t feel pain or emotion.

Do warm-blooded animals feel pain? I think they will, but this kind of pain may not be exactly the same as that of us humans, just like a centipede moving around with hundreds of feet. Feel the arms and legs.

Like us, the staff of the two climbing halls basically have experience in raising pets. I have a turtle that was afraid of me when I first got it. Later, I became familiar with me and was willing to let me touch it in my hand. I'm not afraid to touch it, and I can walk around in the living room and follow me. Do you think they have emotions? "

The tourists listened thoughtfully.

"It turns out that reptiles are not called cold-blooded animals, but warm-blooded animals. I thought that cold-blooded animals meant no emotion."

"It's an animal that must feel pain. Otherwise, if you're injured, you won't know the pain, so how can you survive."

"Indeed, I also raised turtles when I was a child. Turtles are very spiritual animals."

They have a better understanding of the pain feelings of mammals. After all, the mainstream pets are cats and dogs. Who has never seen a scene where a cat is angry and a dog is aggrieved.

The structures of reptiles and humans are indeed different. The question of whether there is pain or not may involve not only science, but also some philosophical thinking.

The so-called child is not a fish, is it safe to know the joy of a fish? A child is not a fish, is it safe to know the pain of a fish?

In fact, they supported Dawu before, mainly because they were disgusted with the uncivilized behavior of throwing stones. They really didn't think about the feeling of crocodiles.

After Xiaochuan finished speaking, his expression became serious, and he said, "No matter what, throwing stones at animals is absolutely forbidden in our zoo. It is very uncivilized."

"It's just for fun." The man with glasses defended in a low voice, looked at the man with the backpack, and walked away in despair.

Xiaochuan scratched his head and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Hey, command center, the two of them originally planned to throw stones but failed. They were dissuaded by other tourists, but they did not admit their mistakes. Let's record 2."
