I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 609 Crested Ibis Eating Loach

"Wow, what fairy love is this!"

Tang Xiaoxin couldn't help but yearn in her heart. If she can find a person with similar interests in the future, talk about a love that will not break up, and grow old together, how wonderful it would be.

However, in today's society, such an idea seems a little unrealistic. Every day, so many people get divorced because of trivial matters.

Why does it seem like a natural thing for gibbons to follow?

What an amazing animal.

Greeted: "Hey Coco, take a photo for me!"

Standing next to the wooden carvings of the pair of gibbons, he compared a heart shape, and then took a picture for Qian Keke.

After visiting the gibbons, Qian Keke enthusiastically suggested: "Should we go to the Wolf Pavilion? At this time, maybe we can hear their early morning chorus! I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know what the wolf babies look like. "

Tang Xiaoxin looked at the sign at the intersection and said, "Hexuan is behind this! Let's go and see the red-crowned crane first!"

A while ago, the red-crowned crane of the Linhai Zoo flew to the tiger pavilion and was photographed by tourists.

The immortal red-crowned crane played with the white crane and brightened its wings, fought with two mighty tigers, and even ran after the tigers. Such an interesting video quickly spread on the Internet, and Tang Ma even showed it to Tang Xiaoxin.

She is still very curious about the red-crowned crane who knows martial arts.

Qian Keke said: "But the black charcoal usually sings in the early morning. If you go late, you won't be able to see them. Let's go and see them first, and then it's not too late to turn back!"

Tang Xiaoxin was a little tangled: "But it's troublesome to run over and come back like this!"

Hey, when there are few animals in the zoo, you don't have to think about anything, you can visit it in one trip.

There are too many animals, and you have to consider the problem of visiting routes, which can be regarded as a kind of happy trouble.

Now the big sign at the entrance of Linhai Zoo marks the approximate time it takes to visit each theme exhibition area, and also recommends several sets of visiting routes.

For example, the panda house + predator corridor (lion, tiger) + large animal area (elephant, giraffe, hippo), if you come only once a year, of course, it is to see these most popular star animals.

If children like furry and cute animals, they can visit the panda house + mixed breeding area (fox, sika deer) + plateau area (marmot, hozen), small pastures (alpacas, rabbits, ducks), small pastures animals can also be fed.

If you like birds, of course, it is the Tropical Rainforest Bird Museum + Hexuan + Waterfowl Lake + Flamingo Lake. You can stroll down and keep it fun.

Of course, it is not too troublesome to visit several times in several days, or even book a room in a hot spring hotel, get up every morning to the melodious sound of insects and birds, take a leisurely walk in the zoo, visit animals, and enjoy delicious food. Come back in the evening and soak in a hot spring to relieve stress.

Qian Keke is full of energy and is not afraid of being tired at all.

The two loli discussed it, and finally decided to visit Hexuan first!

An antique cloister stretches inwardly, with green grass and lush trees along the way.

The murmur of the clear stream, flowing over the green moss-covered boulders, makes the atmosphere seem peaceful and serene, soothing.

Occasionally, squirrels with fluffy tails can be seen deftly climbing up the trees, hugging branches and disappearing, and red-billed blue magpies with blue feathers and beautiful red beaks jumping on the treetops in groups of three or five. Jump up and down, fly around.

All are wild, attracted by the natural and beautiful environment of the zoo, and settled down unceremoniously. Of course, Fang Ye couldn't be more welcome.

After turning a corner, a lawn appeared in front, and behind the lawn was a shoal!

Two white birds with red cheeks were pacing the shoal, striding on their long red legs, their heads bowed as if looking for food.

Although their beaks are sharp and long, they are similar to red-crowned cranes, but they are slightly curved and not so straight.

The feathers on the back were pale lead-grey and looked a little dirty, and the back of the head was a ribbon-shaped feather crest, like a row of twisted braids scattered behind the head.

Found that they were a little alert, looked up and forgot to glance, but there was still some distance, so they lowered their heads to look for food.

Tang Xiaoxin asked curiously, "What kind of bird is this?"

Looking at the exhibition sign next to him, he was suddenly shocked: "It turned out to be a crested ibis!?"

In her impression, the crested ibis should have reddish feathers all over its body, a very beautiful and beautiful bird, which looks more like a flamingo!

Is it because I remembered it wrongly?

No, crested ibis, crested ibis, vermillion is red, it should be a red bird! Why does it look so simple?

Qian Keke was also shocked: "Ah, is it really a crested ibis?"

Tang Xiaoxin pointed to a sign with different feather colors of crested ibis and said, "There seems to be an introduction here!"

Carefully read the exhibition card, which introduces the mystery about the color of crested ibis feathers!

It turns out that many birds change their plumage colors to attract the attention of the opposite sex during the breeding season.

For example, mandarin ducks and mallards in Waterfowl Lake!

The female mandarin duck looked grey, and the male mandarin duck was dressed in colorful feathers, looking like a striking firework in the water.

But in the summer, the male mandarin ducks in the zoo seem to have disappeared mysteriously, leaving only the unremarkable female mandarin ducks.

In fact, the male mandarin ducks lost their breeding feathers and put on a plain grey women's clothing, instantly turning into a "Cinderella" from "God Over Flowers".

The same is true for mallards. Males are characterized by a dazzling green on the top of their heads, which disappears in summer, and looks no different from female ducks.

Ducks usually put on breeding feathers around January, and start to engage in objects in the wintering ground. In June and July, the beautiful breeding feathers will fade away.

For crested ibis, black is the color they think is beautiful!

The crested ibis has a ring-shaped area on its neck, which secretes a black substance during the mating period from March to June.

While bathing in the water, rely on the neck to repeatedly rub the black substance on the neck and back to achieve the effect of coloring.

Just finished, the color of the feathers is pure black, and it will gradually turn gray-black after drying!

After moulting in July and August, the feathers will turn back to pure white, as pure and flawless as snow.

And red is actually the color under their wings.

Tang Xiaoxin was stunned: "So it is!"

Looking back at the crested ibis in the exhibition area, I happened to see a crested ibis sticking its head down, its sharp beak stuck in the mud, and moving around.

It seemed that he had found the prey, but he didn't catch it. He raised his head and shook the feathers on his body, and he pecked again, causing a splash of water.

This time it worked!

A loach was firmly clamped by the crested ibis' sharp beak from the middle, rolled up and slapped violently, and sometimes wrapped around the crested ibis' long beak like a snake. It dizzy.

Maybe it was too slippery, and he threw it out of his mouth, jumping around on the grass, the crested ibis hurriedly chased after him, his eyes fixed on it, his head turned around, pecking from the front to his feet, and the loach from the head. to the tail.

The loach struggled and jumped for a while. I don't know if it was too badly injured by the sharp beak and pinched and stabbed, or it was too weak. The range of struggle became smaller and smaller. Finally, the crested ibis shook its beak, lifted it up from the tip of its beak, and raised its head. , blinked his eyes, swung his throat twice and swallowed it.
