"The porcupine is invincible. No animal can cure it. It should be a lot in number. It is very common, but it feels like a porcupine is a very rare animal?"
"The last invincible has stopped thinking!"
"Don't say anything else, they will throw stones far away. Homo sapiens who use big sticks and these tools are not what they can handle!"
Fang Ye smiled and said, "Although the porcupine spines are very powerful, they are not without flaws!
Their spines grow backwards. These spines are very effective against conventional predators, because most predators approach the prey from behind and then launch an attack. At this time, as long as the hair is erected, the predator will not have it. Recruited.
But some predators are very smart! For example, foxes, they will turn around the porcupine, and then attack from the front. There are also wolves hunting in groups, who surround you, but can't take care of your head.
Moreover, the thorns fall off after use, and it takes a while to grow out. If you encounter a difficult opponent and run out of thorns, the porcupine loses defense during this period and becomes very fragile. Anyone can start.
Moreover, they are very troublesome to reproduce. They only estrus during autumn and winter a year, and the pregnancy period is very long, about 90-110 days, they give birth once a year, and usually there are two or three in a litter, and there are up to 50 days after giving birth. Breastfeeding period.
The porcupine has just become a mother and is still feeding children. Rats and rabbits, both rodents, can be grandparents. "
"I see!"
"The male porcupine said that with so many thorns, it's hard to mate just by mating. Still thinking about flooding?"
"What you said makes sense!"
Fang Ye said: "When mating, the female porcupine will lay down the thorns."
While talking, he greeted the breeder and threw some corn kernels into the field.
Huh! Huh!
Two corn kernels were thrown in, and the porcupine lying on the ground basking in the sun immediately stood up. The cautious porcupine was still hesitating in place, and the more lively ruins ran towards the corn kernels.
Although the porcupine is small, it still starts quickly!
It seems that the sweeping robot has long legs, and the calf is upside down. It rushes to the front of the playground and eats corn kernels.
In order to dominate the food, the porcupine with a big temper erected the thorns on his back, and his body swelled a lot, a bit like a peacock.
The tail swayed and made a clear sound of "crack, croak", making a threatening gesture, and rammed back towards his companion.
The intimidated porcupine glanced, and did not intend to start a conflict, and walked away elsewhere.
Netizens just listened to Fang Ye's introduction of porcupine intimidation methods.
An old man with white hair and a child seem to be a pair of grandparents who came to visit the zoo together. They stopped at the porcupine exhibition area and watched the porcupine eating corn with relish.
The grandson asked curiously: "Grandpa, have you seen this?"
The old man missed it: "Porcupines, there used to be such things in the mountains! The land would be barren, the food production would not be high, there would be wild boars and scarecrows that were useless, and the ground would often be arched full of mess.
Once my eldest brother and I went to the mountain to grow sweet potatoes and saw that the sweet potato **** extended all the way to the bushes. We suspected that there was something hiding. It would be more courageous. I didn't think much about it, so I split the bushes with a machete, revealing a piece of soil. Bag.
A thorny thing poked out its head and surprised me. It turned out to be a porcupine! Then he retracted into the soil bag. I set up a pile of firewood outside and wanted to smoke it out with smoke, while burning it while fanning the smoke in with my clothes.
But after a while, my eldest brother ran over and asked me what I was doing. He scolded me and asked if you wanted to burn the mountain. The two hurriedly put out the fire, and when the fire was extinguished, the two porcupines ran out of the cave in a smoke and disappeared in the grass behind them. "
The grandson said seriously: "Grandpa, don't hurt wild animals!"
"Haha, it's all the same."
Netizens also heard the story told by Grandpa and joked: "Set the mountain on fire and sit in prison!"
"A plume of smoke on the mountain, the police station under the mountain!"
When the grandfather and grandson left, Fang Ye said: "My uncle said just now that there were porcupines in the mountains when I was young.
Of course, everyone is willing to pay attention to star animals like giant pandas, elephants, and tigers. Many people come to the zoo specifically for them, but they don't know much about the local animals.
Most zoos don't put much care for the local animals.
Yellow-breasted buntings, eagle owls, white-headed bulbuls, wild boars, porcupines, otters, dragonflies, and frogs are all beautiful and attractive animals. If it is extreme, even if the zoo just displays these native animals, it is also very interesting. What do you think?
Apart from birds and small insects, most people rarely see native animals. Maybe it's just from the elders' mouths that they have heard of their existence.
Introduce some of these local animals to the citizens, and understand that they have been with themselves for thousands of years, and have the idea that there are such animals nearby, and they are so beautiful. Our local exhibition area The purpose is achieved.
In the future, the exhibition area of native animals may gradually expand, and some animals that cannot return to nature after being injured will also be displayed here. "
Netizens are amazed: "I think it's great! If citizens have seen these animals in the zoo, they will not easily harm them when they see them again. They will also pay more attention to the environment around them, not in the wild. littering."
"I really envy Linhai people to have such a zoo! I have lived in my hometown since I was a child for more than 30 years, and I have never known which animals are around me."
"It feels like this can be promoted in zoos across the country. Each local zoo's vernacular exhibition area is made up of local animals. It is unique! It can best create its own characteristics, and the citizens will definitely like it too."
"This is difficult! Most zoos are thinking about how to make money and introduce star animals. These ordinary animals are not interested in showing them. Linhai Zoo can be said to be a weird flower."
"I like animals, and I have applied for a job as a breeder, but it is very different from what I imagined. My daily task is to solicit customers, sell products, and let tourists feed. After working for a while, I have no interest in quitting. Here is the job. The breeder thinks about how to enrich the animals and make their lives more fun. The red fox breeders hide food in various places and make fake moves. It's a far cry from the world."
