I Have a Safari Park

Some tourists couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible for the otters to recover in the future?"

The breeder nodded affirmatively: "There is hope!

Before the 1970s, the river pollution in Singapore became more and more serious with the development of the city.

Since 1977, the government has carried out the 'River' purification campaign. In 1998, wild smooth river otters reappeared and gradually reproduced.

Otters can now be seen in many rivers and wetland parks in Singapore. They live and hunt in the rivers and share the environment harmoniously with humans, becoming the highlight of the urban ecological landscape.

Students who have been to Singapore should be able to see various signs on the street reminding that there are otters nearby. This process of environmental remediation has only taken a few decades. "

"Oh, I seem to have seen the video of the Singapore otter family fighting! The two otter families swam across the river from opposite ends of the river, shouting and arguing while swimming. The scene is like a knight charging. It's interesting."

"The ecological protection over there is really awesome, and it is worth learning from."

The breeder added: "Another threat is because otters are cute, and now there is a trend of keeping otters as pets in Japan.

Wild otters are very aggressive and spend at least 5 hours a day hunting. They are energetic and have high demands on the environment. They are semi-aquatic and not suitable for pets at all.

The native Japanese otters were declared extinct ten years ago, and their small-clawed otters raised by Internet celebrities are all from overseas. Small-clawed otters are gregarious, and catching a cub behind a pet is often killed by an otter family.

Let me tell you, it is illegal to keep otters in China. Otters are second-class protected animals, and there is no such thing as pet otters. "

"The Japanese really don't do that well."

"And the owl cafe or something, it's also something the Japanese did."

Some tourists pouted and shook their heads, looking very disdainful.

When Amemiya heard this, she held her skirt in her hands and bowed her head in shame!

Although the discussions of the tourists were not aimed at her on purpose, they still felt heartbroken.

After listening to the explanation of the breeder, the tourists dispersed to appreciate the otters.

Seeing Yu Gong's dejected look, Liu Wei comforted him, "It's okay, it's not your otter."

Amamiya said softly: "I also liked the cute little-clawed otters before. I watched some pet otters interact with their owners, I thought they were cute, and I liked this video.

Although it was not raised by me, my likes have invisibly allowed more people to see such videos, and some people may want to keep them as pets.

In the future, when I see such a video, I will never like it again, and I will share it with my friends. "

Seeing a donation box next to it, with a QR code, I quickly scanned it and donated 100 yuan to the conservation cause of otters.

Looking at the otters in the stadium, clasping his palms together, he said sincerely, "Red bean puree is private Marseille!"

Liu Wei saw the sloping down passage in front, and said in surprise: "Hey, it seems that we can go down here, let's go down and have a look?"

Yu Gongxin adjusted her mood: "Yeah!"

Through the glass curtain wall, looking at the green water on the shore, it turned into a dark blue color, with fallen leaves floating on the water.

At the bottom of the water is a piece of sinking wood, with knotted roots, like hair sticking out of a person's head.

This can be said to be the most exciting part of the otter exhibition area!

An otter is floating on the surface, its body underwater, its paws resting on a tree root.

There is also an otter, clawing at the roots of the tree, its body is upside down, its head is facing downstream, and it nimbly drills through the gap between the tree roots, spitting out a string of bubbles from time to time.

Several sections of tree roots stretched around, and the arc resembled the shape of an arch.

The otter turned its belly, kicked its paws on the roots of the tree, passed through the arch, and then surfaced from the bottom of the water, with a very agile posture.

"Wow!"

Liu Wei couldn't help but be amazed.

It feels like they are more agile than penguins underwater!

Of course, the penguin itself is chubby, and the otter is slender and flexible, and the visual effect is different.

Amamiya Xin was fascinated: "They love to play! They are really energetic."

There is a fun science exhibition sign next to it, which says: "The small-clawed otter can swim at a speed of up to 10km per hour. When underwater, it can close its nostrils and ears, and the diving time can reach 6 to 8 minutes."

Another otter dived.

He swam to the glass curtain wall, turned his head, and looked outside curiously.

Because of the difference in brightness, tourists are generally invisible, but they can still be found when they are close.

A tourist face leaned over and beckoned: "Hi~"

It seemed that he was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the face!

The otter dived into the bottom of the water as if the soles of his feet were oiled, and got into a bamboo basket that was half-buried in the soil.

This bamboo basket looks as if a nearby farmer accidentally fell into the water when picking wild vegetables, was swept away by the stream and buried in the soil.

It enriches the underwater environment and adds two distinct interests.

Not just a decoration, otters can also use it to play hide and do some interesting behaviors.

At this moment, the otter's head sticks out from the mouth of the jar, and looks out carefully.

After a while, I felt that there was no danger, and got out again.

Otters swim around in the water. Some otters play with wooden sticks, and some naughty otters also swim in fancy swimming, rotating 360 degrees while swimming.

The tourists were delighted to see it, and their faces were full of excitement: "Hey, this environment is really good!"

"The little guy is so cute!"

"I am blown away by this underwater exhibition area! I feel like I can spend a day here."

...

Back at school, Amamiya Xin and Liu Wei waved goodbye at the school gate.

"Goodbye~"

"Well, let's play together next time!"

"OK."

As soon as Liu Wei returned to the dormitory, he was surrounded by roommates who pretended to be vicious, and kept questioning him curiously.

"Tell me the truth, how's the progress today!"

"How does it feel to go to the zoo with a beautiful Japanese school girl, did you hold hands?"

"Why don't you invite us to dinner?"

"What do you think? It's just an ordinary visit to a zoo."

Liu Wei's mouth was flat, but his heart was actually quite awkward.

Now it's just an ordinary friend relationship. In the future, if I go to the zoo a few more times, won't this relationship deepen.

Amamiya Xin returned to the dormitory and posted pictures of today's visit experience on social networking sites.

The cute giant panda, the magical director who can lick lions, and the superb zoo environment have made Linhai Zoo a little popular on Twitter!
