I Have a Safari Park

After admiring the crocodile for a while, a few people walked to the exit and passed by some oncoming tourists.

Many tourists watched the crocodile above and then turned back to the bottom!

Generally speaking, the back-and-forth route is a bit stupid. Like the Wolf Pavilion, you can visit all the visiting points along one road.

However, the path of the crocodile pond is relatively short, so it needs to go around a few dozen meters. Otherwise, the bridge above, the underground corridor, the two slopes that enter the ground gently and rise up, the upper and lower visiting surfaces will be too short, which may cause The congestion of tourists makes it not beautiful to visit.

Dawu was at the end of the underground corridor, staring at a popular science exhibition sign, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Hey!"

Lin Hao asked curiously, "Well, what's wrong?"

Dawu pointed to the display board: "Look at this, the story of the crocodile and the toothpick bird turned out to be fake! I have been deceived for many years!"

The exhibition card is accompanied by a picture of a crocodile with a big mouth and a bird standing in its mouth, which looks very harmonious.

Lin Hao was also shocked: "Huh?"

Although he had never thought about the story of crocodile tears before, he knew instinctively that it was fake, because what kind of animal would shed tears of sympathy when hunting and filling its stomach. Isn't this sick? After capturing the prey and being able to live, I should be very happy.

But he always thought the story of the crocodile and the toothpick bird was true. He had read it in many storybooks and chicken soup essays, and he still used it when he was writing essays.

"Rumor: Crocodiles are very ferocious. In the places where crocodiles live, other animals are cautious when they go to the river to drink water, for fear of being eaten by crocodiles. However, in nature, there is such a kind of bird, not only does it not Fear of crocodiles, but will take the initiative to get close to them, what is even more strange is that crocodiles will not hurt them.

This bird is called a toothpick bird. After eating, the crocodile will open its mouth to let the toothpick bird enter its mouth, and the toothpick bird will eat the meat and parasites of the crocodile's teeth and help the crocodile to clean. The two are mutually beneficial and symbiotic.

Fact: Crocodiles don't need teeth cleaning, and their teeth grow new teeth on a regular basis. Moreover, the crocodile's teeth are widely spaced, so there is no jamming.

The toothpick bird is generally believed to be an Egyptian plover, but biologists have spent decades observing and found that they have no habit of picking teeth for crocodiles at all. There are only a few pictures of crocodiles and toothpick birds on the Internet, and no reliable source.

Many birds are very close to crocodiles when they forage for food, and crocodiles will not pay attention to birds when they are basking in the sun. If the crocodile has its mouth open and there is a worm in its mouth, the bird will probably take a bite. The story of the alligator and the toothpick bird may have originated from such a misunderstanding. "

Lin Hao looked at the photo, the scattered teeth in the crocodile's mouth, his face was like constipation!

Nima, how can there be such a wide gap between the teeth, it is obviously a rumor! I believed it naively when I was a child.

Dawu said with emotion: "After visiting the zoo a few times now, I found that we have misunderstood too many of these animals! Reptiles like crocodiles are also known as cold-blooded animals."

Lin Hao also complained: "Yes, humans like to use these animals to write fables or chicken soup essays, what is the truth, but can you respect the habits of animals when writing stories, don't write nonsense, especially this kind of obvious nonsense of."

After coming out of the crocodile exhibition area, I turned a corner and came to the exhibition area of ​​the black boot tortoise.

This is a very open space, and some tourists are enjoying it on the edge of the exhibition area.

The uneven and slightly undulating ground is covered with a layer of fine fallen leaves, and the sun shines mottledly on the ground through the gaps between palms and plantains.

The pool in the middle of the exhibition area is very beautiful, like a clear and bright mirror, reflecting the stones and trees on the shore.

Lin Hao looked at the exhibition area, his eyes lit up: "Wow, the environment here is very good! What animals do you keep?"

"Here are black-booted tortoises!" Dawu said with a smile, extending his finger, "Don't you think there is one there?"

The edge of the exhibition area of ​​the black-booted tortoise was slightly built with stones, and a low wood was used as a fence. The protection is very simple, and you can reach out and bend down to touch the ground in the exhibition area.

A few meters away from the edge of the fence, the black-booted tortoise Xiaoxuan, who was wearing heavy armor, was slowly moving his scaled legs on the fallen leaves.

It is better to say that you are ploughing the field with a hoe!

Walking slowly and leisurely, only advancing a little at a time, everyone's eyes can't help but move with it.

After a minute, I advanced a few meters and came to a place that was not shaded by trees. It seemed that I felt a little warmer here. After looking around for a while, I lay down, my body was close to the ground, and I quietly basked in the sun.

A little girl took the parent's hand, her body almost leaned against the wooden fence, and said excitedly, "Baba, big turtle!"

The parent smiled and said, "Well, big turtle!"

"Why doesn't the big turtle move?"

"It's basking in the sun!"

Lily was full of playfulness like a child, squatted down and waved enthusiastically, and greeted Xiaoxuan: "Hello?"

Xiaoxuan is too lazy to bird her!

The black-booted tortoises were relatively timid at first, and they were all active in the center of the exhibition area, not near the edge of the fence.

But I get used to seeing more tourists.

Seeing that Xiao Xuan didn't react, Lily pouted: "Cut, it's boring."

Lin Hao looked at Xiaoxuan and said with a smile, "I didn't see it just now, I thought it was a black stone."

Watching monkeys, red pandas and other animals play and play, and climb up and down trees is very interesting, but watching turtles crawling slowly, and leisurely basking in the sun is also good, there is a sense of tranquility, soothing, and peacefulness.

Very decompressed!

Originally, I encountered a lot of trouble in this recent internship. I knocked the code to change the bug, and my head was about to explode.

Seeing such a peaceful and quiet turtle, I can't help but relax.

It's just a little trouble, what's the trouble!

Dawu touched his chin and said, "Hey, I remember there are two here, where is the other one?"

"Is it in the water?"

Lin Hao saw an oval-shaped black object in the middle of the pool. It was illuminated by the sun, and it was motionless like a calm stone.

Daigo took a closer look: "It should be! Oh, I saw its head."

Lin Hao was a little envious!

This tortoise is lying in the water, as leisurely as a hot spring, it is too enjoyable.

After admiring the black-booted tortoise for a while, several people moved on.

If you walk forward, you can see a building in the distance. It is not square and square, and the ceiling is shallow arc.

If you use a drone to look down from the air, the shape of the building looks like a big turtle lying on the ground.
