I Have a Safari Park

The urban animal exhibition area, as well as the local animal exhibition area, are still in the stage of conception.

But there will certainly be in the future.

The two exhibition areas have similarities, but also differences.

The urban animal exhibition area mainly displays the contradictions between humans and animals in the urban space, and how to live in harmony.

The local animal exhibition area is based on the changes of local animals in Linhai as a clue.

Which animals used to live in Linhai, what is the current situation, where do they live, how many animals are there, is the population decreasing or increasing, and if they disappear, what is the reason?

Let tourists understand that the destruction and protection of the environment happens on the land around them, not something far away from them.

It is necessary to do some research on the current distribution of animals in Linhai, look up county annals, or ask elderly people to sort out the clues of animal changes through their memories.

Fang Ye felt that more learning experience was needed, and the time for construction was not yet ripe.

From the raccoon dog to the wild boar.

Before, because of the milk tea wild boar, some infrared cameras were arranged in the villages and towns around Linhai, and the video data were handed over to Wang Yan and his team for study, and they also had some understanding of the distribution of wild boars.

The number of wild boars in Linhai is relatively small.

The distribution survey has been made clear, the measures to prevent wild boars in the townships have been laid out, a lot of publicity about wild boars has been carried out, and the preparations have been completed.

What Fang Ye remembered: "I saw a news yesterday that the number of wild boars in Huangshan, Anhui has increased sharply. Now we are carrying out wild boar prevention and control work, preparing to hunt wild boars and control the number of wild boars. It is estimated that we will see wild boar disasters from time to time in the future. news."

Wang Yandao: "There is no way, there is no tiger to control the number of wild boars, the impact of the disappearance of animals is never immediately reflected.

I see that at the entrance of your zoo, there is a group of pigeons, and there is a display of passenger pigeons. Passenger pigeons are a typical example. "

Fang Ye listened attentively, he knew about the extinction of passenger pigeons, but the specific impact was really unclear.

Seeing that he was interested, Wang Yan said, "Isn't this passenger pigeon extinct in 1914? Before the extinction, people's estimates of its number were at the level of tens of billions. Flying overhead, it was full of clouds. Like a dark cloud, the entire sky will darken.

The extinction of the passenger pigeon didn't seem to matter in the short term, and it wasn't until 84 years later that people knew what it meant.

There are a lot of oak trees in the Americas. These oak trees are divided into large and small years. The oak trees in a forest will bear fruit at the same time to prevent the acorns from being eaten.

After the passenger pigeon went extinct for a long time, it suddenly caught up with a big year of oak trees, and the ground was full of acorns. In the past, passenger pigeons were the main consumers of acorns, but now passenger pigeons do not exist, and small homes appear. Outbreak of rats.

With the urbanization of various places, the house mouse is not only breaking out in oak-covered forests, but also in cities.

Mus musculus carries ticks. If the weather is too cold in winter, the ticks will die and cannot complete the winter.

But as the climate warms, the distribution area of ​​the house mouse has expanded, and the distribution of ticks has also been expanding, so with the outbreak of this acorn and the outbreak of house mice, Lyme disease has become a very common type of North America. Zoonotic disease.

Lyme disease, which is mainly spread through tick bites, can cause joint pain, loss of speech and, in severe cases, death from breathing problems. This is a concept we talk about, the time lag of the ecosystem. "

Fang Ye couldn't help but think of a sentence, unfortunate childhood, it takes a lifetime to heal.

In fact, the same is true for ecosystems. Some serious damages will take a long time and great efforts to restore, and may even never be restored.

Now wild boars are out of control in some places, mainly caused by the absence of predators, especially tigers.

Wolves and leopards can only hunt some smaller wild boars and piglets. They cannot completely control the number of wild boars and can only play a slowing role.

Wild boars are the favorite food of tigers. The powerful tigers can hunt almost all wild boars, except for some huge wild boar kings.

Now let alone tigers, there are very few leopard wolves.

When the beast disappears, nothing can be seen for a while, but the impact is actually very far-reaching.

Now that there are wild boar outbreaks in some places, human beings need to continuously invest human and financial resources to control the number of wild boars, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of natural balance of hunting beasts. It is necessary to continuously compensate for the loss of farmland caused by wild boars.

If you want to go extinct, you can definitely do it, but if you kill wild boars, it will have a huge impact on the ecosystem.

Like dominoes, knock down a string one at a time.

Restoring a beast like a tiger is much more difficult than eradicating a wild boar.

Tigers in the zoo and tigers in the wild can be said to be two species. Where to find water for prey, what to eat, the skills of hunting different animals, and avoiding human consciousness, there is no parent to teach them where to learn.

Besides, now the public has not formed the awareness of sharing their homes with animals, and understands the correct way to get along with animals. They are too frightened to see a wild boar, let alone a tiger or a leopard.

Fang Ye was full of thoughts and sighed: "If you want to restore the ecology, you must first restore people's hearts."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "You Linhai Zoo, aren't you doing this?"

Fang Ye smiled.

At the beginning, he crossed over while playing "Zoo Star", and he still had the mentality of playing games.

The fun lies more in getting close to animals, and designing a pavilion with a beautiful environment, enjoying the animals in it and showing their natural and beautiful gestures.

The cheers of the tourists like the shouts made him feel happy and have a sense of accomplishment.

In the process of running the zoo, he is also constantly learning and progressing, becoming more responsible and pursuing.

...

Although Black Whirlwind and Meimei have been rescued to the zoo for almost half a year, they even gave birth to a litter of piglets.

However, the staff usually keep a distance when they get along with each other, so they still maintain a vigilant heart towards human beings.

Therefore, an old forest in a deep mountain with no wild boar distribution was selected as the release site.

Before rescuing the snow leopard, Fang Ye participated in the whole process and gained a lot of experience.

In cooperation with Wang Yan and the Academy of Life Sciences, they customized a special gps harness for wild boars, so that after the wild boars are released, their movement trajectories can be studied.

After the wild boar was anesthetized, gps straps were attached.

Before the anesthesia was over, it was put into a transfer cage and carried the wild boar to the predetermined release site.
