I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 608 Family View of Gibbons

Nearby tourists watched the gibbons move nimbly on the tree, and they opened their eyes to chase their movements, opening their mouths and screaming in surprise.

"Oh! Oh! Oh~oh~~~"

"Oh~ oh!"

"Huhuhuhuhu, awesome!"

"Wow, look at you!"

"Mom, it's like flying!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to be a collective incarnation of gibbons, and the zoo was full of cheerfulness.

The stone pillar in the middle of the island is engraved with some unknown patterns, and some mottled fall off. It looks like the ruins of the ruins where primitive people once lived.

The stone pillar is not only a decorative display, but mainly serves as a fixed perch.

This is also the high point of the island. You can sit and rest on the perch above or next to it and watch the scenery. By the way, it can also become an amusement park for gibbons, where you can play hide-and-seek.

Sunshine and Sunny faced each other for a while, and then flew in the woods. With the exclamations of tourists, they continued to chase after them.

A tourist asked the breeder: "Why is the gibbon singing so loud and so beautiful?"

Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke also approached curiously. After listening to them sing, this question naturally popped up!

The breeder explained with a smile: "The throat of a gibbon has a throat sac, also called a vocal sac. When shouting, the laryngeal sac can swell very much, making the voice extremely loud.

They can be said to be the singers of the animal kingdom, and besides humans, they are the only mammals that can sing harmony!

In the form of male ape solo, male and female duets, family members' chorus and so on.

In the chorus, the adult male ape sings first, and then the adult female ape is accompanied by a vibrato resonance, and the children's monotonous response. The tone is clear and high-pitched from low to high, and can be heard from two kilometers away.

Gibbons are active in families. In the early morning, the singing of gibbons will be heard in the woods one after another, which can convey information to the surrounding neighbors, telling them that there are apes living in this forest and preventing the homeland from being invaded.

Singing can also enhance feelings, find food in the wild to separate, and can also serve as a signal of mutual connection and orientation. "

The tourists suddenly said, "Oh~"

"It's amazing my ape!"

The breeder paused, with a regretful expression on his face: "The high and sweet singing of gibbons has also brought them a disaster, and poachers can find them according to the singing.

Although poaching is not as much as before, the fragmentation of habitats and the reduction of forests make it difficult for gibbons to find mates, and the situation is still not optimistic.

There are now 20 species of gibbons in 4 genera in the world, and my country has 3 genera and 6 species, which is one of the countries with the most abundant species of gibbons.

Even if our country has so many species of gibbons, the total number in the wild is no more than 1500.

In addition, the northern white-cheeked gibbons and white-handed gibbons, which were widely distributed in my country, have not found evidence of their survival in the wild in the field surveys over the years, so these two gibbons may have become functionally extinct in China.

So we have to protect them well, otherwise it will be difficult to hear their singing in the future. "

Qian Keke squeezed his fist and was so angry: "Poachers are too bad! Such cute gibbons, what are you catching them for?"

Tang Xiaoxin was also a little sad to hear it: "It's so pitiful. Such a beautiful singing, don't become an absolute sound!"

After listening to the breeder's explanation, I walked along the island and looked at the display board.

The gibbon exhibition area, of course, introduces their singing.

Primates are the hardest hit by feeding!

Even if there is a wide river, the idea of ​​feeding tourists cannot be dispelled. When the bottom of the river was cleaned up last time, some messy snacks were salvaged, apparently not thrown in.

Therefore, there are several eye-catching display boards here, introducing the food of gibbons, and reminding tourists not to feed them.

There are several photos on the exhibition board. In addition to the common green vegetables such as lettuce, there are also eggs, sour horns, dragon fruit, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes and various colorful foods, which are packed in big baskets.

"The staple food of gibbons is mainly low-starch vegetables and low-sugar fruits, followed by whole branches and leaves for gibbons to choose, and eggs, live mealworms, etc. as protein supplements. In addition, the park will also provide gibbons suitable for gibbons. Pellets, bread, nuts, meet the nutritional needs of gibbons in different physiological periods."

Passing tourists saw it, their appetite was stimulated, and they even swallowed a little!

Mom, this is delicious too.

Those who want to feed will feel ashamed when they see the display board, reducing the probability of feeding.

In addition to introducing the food enrichment of gibbons, the disadvantages of feeding, etc., there is also an interesting knowledge on the display board: "The wild gibbons are very planned for the use of food.

The flowers, fruits, leaves and buds of some trees can be eaten by gibbons, but when it eats the buds of one tree, it will not eat the leaves of this tree, and the other tree only eats the fruit, not the buds of the other tree. eat flowers. "

Tang Xiaoxin felt very strange: "Gibbons even know sustainable development!"

Thinking about it this way, it feels like humans are sometimes less intelligent than them.

Under the tree next to the island, there is a pair of wooden gibbon carvings, sitting on a tree branch, one looks at the tourists, and the other gently brushes it, looking very loving.

On the side is a display board that describes the similarities between gibbons and the human family.

Gibbons are very emotional animals. When there are injured, sick, or dead ones in the ape group, they will stop playing for a long time, and express their grief for their companions through silence.

They are also very loyal animals, and once they become husband and wife, they will grow old together forever and never change their minds. In family relations, males and females have equal status.

It turns out that there are three white-browed gibbons in the Flying Ape Zoo. In addition to the parents of Sunshine and Sunny, there is also an unmarried young girl.

Looking at each other across the cage net every day, although I envy the couple who smell sour in love next door, maybe they also have a longing in their hearts, but they have never interfered with a third party to destroy other people's feelings.

Once the breeder was negligent and did not close the door properly. The male ape walked into the wrong room. The single female ape kicked the male ape away with a fistful of fists to avoid something that should not have happened. The male ape was beaten away without fighting back at all. , and a bit of guilt.

And their parents have never fought over food or other unhappiness.

Gibbons will also visit relatives. When the elder relatives arrive, the gibbons not only welcome and allow the elders to touch themselves, but may also allow the old apes to spend their old years in their homes.

Adhere to love, love family, respect the old and love the young.

For humans, it can be called a model!
