"Come on, eh, why did it fall again."
"Haha, Yazi who doesn't look too smart!"
"The long mouth of the crested ibis looks like a pair of chopsticks."
"Well, it feels like using chopsticks to hold soybeans, it's still quite difficult."
The two loli watched the crested ibis eating loach with gusto, and commented on it from time to time.
What kind of performance do I need to come to the zoo to see animals? The natural behavior of animals is the most exciting show.
Of course, tourists are also required to have the patience to wait and observe. Naturally, the visit will be very boring.
At this time, a few more crested ibis glide over from a distance with their wings flat.
"Ohhhhhhh"
While flying, while making a high and melodious tweet.
Tang Xiaoxin opened her eyes suddenly, wanted to marvel and covered her mouth, for fear that the loud voice would scare them away!
The oncoming crested ibis has wide wings spread out. The edges of the wings are bright white like pearls, followed by a faint orange-red, as if it has been impregnated with light pink peach blossoms and red rouge, elegant and charming.
After being illuminated by the sun, it emits a faint red light, it seems that a few elves are dancing under the blue sky!
After landing on the ground, his wings were retracted and his grayish appearance was restored.
Followed his companion to pace in the shallows, using his long beak to find the loach hidden in the mud.
Tang Xiaoxin let out a sigh of relief and said with joy: "Eh, it's so beautiful!"
Qian Keke came back to his senses and was very excited: "When they flew over just now, I was stunned!"
A tourist with a hat next to him looked at the crested ibis and seemed to be quite sighed.
Said to his companion: "Have you read "The Last Words of the Crested Ibis?"
Companion shook his head: "I have heard of it, but I haven't seen it!"
The hat man said: "The book I just bought before! It tells a history of the extinction of the crested ibis in Japan.
The protagonist is called Haruo, and his favorite hobby is to find and observe the crested ibis, but the number of crested ibis is very small in Japan, and the character is very wary, so I rarely see it. Then he did a series of surveys on the crested ibis.
The crested ibis was often caught and eaten, and the feathers were made into handicrafts. During the war, people cut down trees and burned charcoal on a large scale, and the habitat of the crested ibis was also greatly reduced.
Haruo's investigation of the crested ibis in Japan seems to be a few dozen left, anyway there are very few.
When we pay more attention, it is too late to protect. It is also very controversial whether to protect the habitat of the crested ibis in situ, or to catch them for artificial breeding. The first few individuals in captivity all died.
And that will cause Japan's rapid economic development, and it will also bring a series of environmental problems, do you know about Minamata disease? A crested ibis died less than a year after being caught and reared. The body was dissected and it was found that high concentrations of pesticides and mercury remained in the body.
When the last five were left, the Japanese government decided to catch them all and breed them in captivity. As a result, the breeding was not successful, and the children died without leaving behind. "
The companion sighed sadly: "Eh, many animals disappeared without knowing it. I heard that giraffes are now endangered. Should the domestic crested ibis be okay?"
The hat man said again: "In fact, our crested ibis was also very critical. At that time, the number had dropped sharply, and it hadn't been recorded for decades. It took three years to find it in Yangxian. When it was found, there were only 7 left!
There are only seven single seedlings left, and they may become extinct without being discovered in a year or two, think about it. "
The companion couldn't help asking: "Lucky enough! How many are there now?"
"There are 5,000 now!"
The companion said sincerely: "Awesome, what a miracle!"
The hat male said: "We learned the lesson of the Japanese crested ibis and protected their habitat on the spot.
Pesticides and fertilizers are forbidden in the local fields, and mining is not allowed. In winter, a certain amount of paddy fields are reserved for the crested ibis to feed. This has allowed the crested ibis to reproduce and grow.
There was a piece of news before that he was sentenced to ten years for killing the crested ibis with a slingshot. Think about how strong this protection is. "
"Tsk tut, deserve it!"
Two little loli are on the side, and they can't help but feel excited when they hear the crested ibis grow from 7 to 5,000!
This can be called a legendary history of species.
In fact, next to the Crested Ibis exhibition area, several exhibition boards all introduce this!
Looking at the whole world, it is also a great protection case.
The above introduction is more detailed, in addition to the miraculous history of the revival of the crested ibis, there are also the changes they have brought to Yangxian and the hidden worries behind the miracles.
After all, they all reproduced from those seven animals. They have very little genetic diversity and cannot adapt to complex environments. The prosperity of the population is actually very fragile, and a large-scale infectious disease may all die.
In the shallows outside, several crested ibis searched for food, flapped their wings and flew to the tree.
The two stood next to each other on a tree branch with their necks entangled, and they used their beaks to groom each other. They looked like a loving couple.
A single crested ibis stared at them intently, as if very envious!
The Crested Ibis and his wife were stared at for a long time, and of course they noticed this scene and looked at each other.
Wife, the young man on the other side has been staring at you, what bad thoughts do you feel?
Husband, rest assured, I only love you!
Come, let's show it a love! Let it know that we are stronger than Jinjian!
Suddenly, the male crested ibis jumped onto the female crested ibis' back.
Qian Keke immediately became excited: "Hey, are they going to mate!"
Tang Xiaoxin wondered: "Isn't it? The mating period should have passed."
I saw the male crested ibis spread its wings on the female crested ibis, flapping his tail rhythmically, while his head was drooping, swaying from side to side, and his long beak fluttering.
The female crested ibis also cooperated with it, her head dangling, and the two crested ibis' long beaks touched back and forth, as if kissing fiercely.
The young crested ibis, who was observing them, turned his head in shame!
The male crested ibis jumped back on the tree trunk, his wings folded, and the female crested ibis looked at each other affectionately.
The two crested ibis then leaned slightly to the outside at the same time tacitly, while keeping their heads up gracefully, they opened their mouths and screamed.
Visitors nearby, although the species are not the same, they naturally understood the meaning of this move!
"Wow, are they showing affection?"
"Damn, I'll be fed a mouthful of dog food when I watch a bird!"
"It's amazing!"
After watching the crested ibis play for a while, Tang Xiaoxin and the others strolled around in Hexuan again.
On the Red-crowned Crane Square, melodious music played on the radio, accompanied by the flying cranes in the lake, looked beautiful.
"There is also a group of red-crowned cranes, lightly, lightly flying by"
When the tourists stood in front of the statue and looked at the deeds of the red-crowned crane girl, the music suddenly sounded and it was still teary.
Tang Xiaoxin asked the breeder curiously: "Which is the red-crowned crane that flew to the Tiger Pavilion a while ago?"
The breeder pointed to a red-crowned crane in the water that was majestic and proud, walking with open wings, looking around: "Here, that's it!"
I thought that when I went to the tiger house, I might be stressed and sick when I was frightened, so I gave it a small focus.
In the end, I don't know if Fang Ye's soothing effect is too good. After coming back, he seemed to feel that he was invincible, walking and arrogant, and everyone wanted to get a fight!
