I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 599 Sloppy Hippo

Although the singing on the radio stopped, netizens were still immersed in sadness and emotion for a long time, and they recalled the beautiful dance of the red-crowned crane just now.

Some people even turned on the player, searched for the song, and listened to it carefully.

Fang Ye looked at the cranes flying on the lake, and didn't say anything for a while.

After a while, his mood eased a little, and he asked, "How about it, isn't it different from listening to this song when I was a kid?"

"Well, I was very scared when I heard this song when I was a child! I felt that the girl died very pitifully. Now I can understand the emotion when I listen to it again."

Fang Ye added: "Although Xu Xiujuan's deeds are very touching, I still want to tell everyone that bringing red-crowned cranes to overwintering grounds for breeding may have scientific research value, but from the perspective of nature protection, it needs to be rigorous. treat.

Domestication of red-crowned cranes has changed the habits of red-crowned cranes. Now the red-crowned cranes raised in protected areas still face many difficulties in reintroduction, which is different from the real wild red-crowned cranes.

If the artificially farmed red-crowned cranes return to the wild population, will they be infected with diseases? Will it change the habits of wild red-crowned cranes?

According to the statistics of the past two years, the domestic wild red-crowned crane population is only 500, which has always been in an endangered state, but the number of captive-bred red-crowned cranes has reached 2,500. There is no record of large-scale successful wild reintroduction of red-crowned cranes.

There are also some commercial flight performances of red-crowned cranes in captivity in protected areas. Eggs are taken from wild red-crowned cranes' nests and finally sold to zoos. They are called conservation and are actually profitable. These are all problems.

Wild red-crowned cranes are alert and may abandon their nests if anyone enters their territory.

Even if the eggs are picked up, they will make up the eggs. The hatching time of the cranes is delayed, and the feathers are uneven and unable to migrate. The red-crowned cranes will stay in the northeast with their children and cannot survive the winter. This is also the reason why the wild red-crowned crane population has been unable to grow. "

"Ah? So angry!"

"Unacceptable! How can you treat them like this?"

"Director, did you also buy your cranes from the reserve?"

Fang Ye explained: "Our red-crowned cranes were imported from other zoos. In fact, the first animals in the zoo were all caught from the wild, but it is not appropriate to do this kind of thing now. Can you understand this?"

"Understandable! If I used to think that zoos should not exist. But after watching the director's live broadcast, I know what a real good zoo looks like."

"Yes, zoos are not only places of entertainment, but also educational."

Fang Yedao: "So, it is the best expression of love to truly protect the red-crowned cranes and protect their habitats.

Let's go and see our new hippos and giraffes. "

...

Came to the back of the hippo hall.

The back of the hippo house is different from other houses, because hippos need water to live, so in addition to the normal animal house, there is also a small pool in the next room.

However, the pool looked dirty and not very clear.

There are some grass residues floating on the water, and some spherical things can be faintly seen at the bottom of the water, which look like shit.

The breeder Lao Gang is an uncle in his forties. He will hold a pineapple and a bucket in the other hand, and across the railing, he smiles and calls out the name of the hippo: "Dudu? Dudu?"

Dudu's huge, dark brown body was mostly submerged in water, with its back, nose and eyes exposed.

Small eyes stared at Lao Gang, and suddenly his head shook, slapped the surface of the water, and made a loud "Wow" sound! It's like a cannonball exploded in the water.

A splash of water was lifted up, and even though the old man was a certain distance away, some small water droplets were still thrown onto his face.

Fang Ye and Lan Li saw this scene as soon as they came over. Lan Li was startled by the loud movement, and quickly hid behind Fang Ye and looked out cautiously.

Lao Gang seemed to be used to it, wiped the water droplets on his face, stood up, and greeted Fang Ye: "The principal is here! Hey, Dudu doesn't seem to like me very much!"

At this time, Dudu sprayed his nostrils again, spraying a mist of water, as if to express his dissatisfaction.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Dudu is a rather timid character."

Some netizens wondered: "This environment looks a bit dirty, why don't you clean it up?"

"That's right, the water is so turbid! Change jobs faster."

"With such dirty water, the hippo is certainly not happy to stay."

Fang Ye glanced at the bullet screen and said, "I wonder if you have read the news that there were a lot of dead fish with their stomachs turned on the banks of the African river, and the investigation found that they were smoked to death by river horse shit?

It may sound outrageous, but it's the truth!

The statement that smoked to death is a bit exaggerated. To be precise, the fish died because of lack of oxygen. There are a lot of undecomposed plant residues in the feces of hippos. After submerging in the water, the microorganisms swarm up and start to enjoy the delicious food. The microorganisms need to consume oxygen to decompose the plants, and the fish die from lack of oxygen.

The reason for this tragedy, in addition to the large number of hippos, is their excretion as wide as the sea.

When the hippo poops, it sticks its butt up, wiggles its tail, and throws poop everywhere, in order to mark the territory and swear its sovereignty.

So it's not that the exhibition hall is not cleaned, but the hippo is indeed a sloppy animal.

In order to ensure the water quality as much as possible and let the hippos stay comfortable, we change the water frequency once a day. It takes a lot of time just to change the water, and each water change is measured in tonnage.

When the water is drained and cleaned, the feces below can be cleared out of several trash cans. "

"Well, that's what it is! Misunderstanding!"

"I remember going to the zoo when I was a kid, and I saw a hippo shit once, damn it! That squirting force! I sprayed shit and slapped my tail while spraying shit, and it covered the wall with shit."

"Haha, the picture is very strong!"

Fang Ye took the pineapple from Lao Gang and greeted Dudu, "Dudu?"

Dudu glanced at Fangye, but had no resistance to him, his head stuck out of the water, his mouth opened wide, and his ears twitched.

The blue carp was filming on the side, and you could clearly see the whiskers on the hippo's mouth, as well as the thick teeth in the mouth.

The old man shook his head helplessly.

He feeds and cleans diligently every day, and when he is free, he comes over to chat with the hippo to feed and cultivate his feelings, and Dudu also beats him.

The principal met so few times, but Dudu was very kind.

It's a bit of a blow to people's confidence.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Hey, you smell the fragrance, right?"

Throw the pineapple in Dudu's mouth!

Dudu closed his mouth, only to hear a muffled "click", his mouth moved twice, and the two fat flesh around his mouth also rolled.

When I opened my mouth again, the pineapple had turned into small pieces.
