Chapter 271 Watching the crocodile underwater

Lily clapped and clapped and praised: "That's right, Dawu! I didn't expect you to be quite brave!"

Dawu said triumphantly: "First, I will definitely not act arrogantly; second, I will never miss a single bad sentence! Haha, this kind of idiot will be finished by directly attacking it."

Lin Hao shook his head slightly: "You're not using your temper. This kind of thing should be stopped, but it's better to inform the breeder, in case someone gets in a hurry and wants to beat you."

Dawu grinned: "There are so many people around, he dares to do it. Okay, I know you care about me, Lao Lin, I will pay attention to it, and try to persuade me to be more euphemistic next time."

A tourist asked: "Breeder, why are you crocodiles so motionless? Are they hungry because they were not fed?"

"The animals in our zoo are not starving."

Breeder Ogawa explained: "Aren't you a little disappointed when you see the crocodile motionless? In fact, the silent and motionless behavior of crocodiles is the magic weapon for their survival.

You see them lying motionless on the shore, in fact, when they are on the shore, they are basking in the sun to promote the body's metabolism.

Reptiles' own metabolism produces insufficient heat to maintain body temperature, so they must obtain heat from the external environment.

Only eat when the body temperature is sufficient, otherwise it will refuse to eat. Even with a reluctance to eat something, the food rots in the stomach and is not digested. After eating, you will also be exposed to the sun to absorb heat to help digest food.

The slate on our shore is actually a heating plate below, which acts as an auxiliary heating when the sun is not enough! "

"Oh~"

The tourists looked at the motionless crocodile on the shore and showed a sudden look.

Suddenly excitedly shouted: "Move it!"

The crocodile, which was originally motionless like a sculpture, suddenly moved, its limbs moved, its body tail swayed slightly, its huge body was like an armored vehicle, it rolled over a dense grass on the shore, and slowly drove in. in the water.

Dawu looked at the crocodile entering the water and said, "It's a pity that the two were taken away, and I didn't see the crocodile going into the water, otherwise they would say that the crocodile is a specimen."

Seeing that the crocodile entered the water, separated a wave of water and spread to both sides, only showing her head and floating quietly, Lily said with some regret: "Hey, why only move like this."

Xiaochuan said: "When the sun comes out in the early morning, the weak crocodile will climb out of the water, go to the shore to bask in the sun to recover its strength, and when the night comes, it will return to the water again, because the heat generated by the direct sunlight during the day is preserved in the water. longer than in the air."

Crocodiles stay motionless when they don't need to move, which helps them conserve energy, grow their bodies when they eat little food, interact with other crocodiles, and raise offspring without having to Always hunt.

When the crocodile is in the water, it will also float on the surface motionless, disguising itself as a piece of wood, or even hiding next to the wood or other floating objects, only sticking its nose and eyes out of the water, waiting for the opportunity to hunt. "

Tourists stood by the guardrail and looked curiously at the crocodiles in the green water.

"No wonder it grows so big."

"It does look like a piece of wood!"

Lin Hao remembered at this moment, Xiaochuan just came up from the ground, can you see the crocodile underwater?

As soon as I talked to my companions, everyone agreed immediately and went back down the slope!

There are two walkways in the crocodile exhibition area. The sloped walkway is one meter above the water surface. With the addition of a one-meter-three-high guardrail, this height is already very safe.

The other is sloping down, with two aisles intersecting like an elongated "X".

There is no special light source for the underground corridor, because the glass curtain wall is half a meter above the water, and the natural sunlight is enough for lighting.

Not only can you see the underwater activities of crocodiles here, but there are also popular science exhibition cards hanging on the wall, making full use of the space in the corridor.

On a display board, the crocodile's eyes are wide open, and it seems that there are big tears flowing down.

Hey, crocodile tears!

Lin Hao looked at this display board curiously. He knew the story of crocodile tears when he was in elementary school. Legend has it that when crocodiles catch their prey and eat, they will pretend to cry in sympathy.

"Crocodile tears come from a Western proverb, which describes people who are kind on the surface but vicious on the inside, and are used to satirize those hypocritical people who do bad things and show mercy on the other.

Crocodiles do shed tears, but they only rely on the action of 'tears' to expel excess salt from the body to maintain the balance of osmotic pressure in the body. It's the same reason that sea turtles shed two lines of tears when they come ashore. "

Lily took her boyfriend and walked in front, watching the crocodile underwater, smiling from ear to ear: "Haha, come and see!"

Lin Hao walked over and looked at the water, and immediately laughed!

I saw a crocodile that looked very mighty in the green water, walking slowly in the water with its hind legs on the uneven stones.

It gives people a kind of silly feeling?

Dawu took a photo with his DSLR "Ka Ka", and smiled happily: "Such a fun scene, I have to take a picture and share it with the group!"

In order to make the underwater scenery look less monotonous, Fang Ye also put some stones on the bottom of the water and got some submerged plants such as algae. A dreamlike underwater forest.

However, this big crocodile just walked slowly with its hind legs in the shallow water area near the shore. The further it walked, the deeper the water became, and it turned into its legs clinging to its body and swinging its thick tail like a fish. Swim like that.

When turning, spread out the soles of the feet, just like turning a virtual steering wheel, freely adjusting the direction of swimming.

It seemed that there was a shadow in the direction of the underwater glass curtain wall, and suddenly the whole crocodile sank into the water.

Coming to the front of the glass curtain wall, the tail droops naturally in the water, and the huge body is suspended in the water, like a fat flying carpet!

The four outstretched fat claws are the four corners of the flying carpet.

Slowly drifting past the tourists, with his closed mouth forward, he stared blankly at the crowd with his eyes on the side of his head.

At such a close distance, you can even see a layer of pale white covering the surface of its eyes, which looks dangerous and cold!

Lin Hao felt a little tingling in his scalp, like an electric shock, and he didn't consciously hold his breath. I don't know if he was nervous or excited!

Watching such a mighty crocodile as an armored car slowly swim past him, the experience is still very shocking!

The crocodile seemed to sense the presence of the glass curtain wall, swung its tail again, and swam up slowly.

Only then did the tourists react, and they all "fuck off"!

"My God, my palms are sweating with such a big crocodile swimming in front of my face!"

"You have to take a picture and send it to the circle of friends!"
