Animals kept in groups in the zoo are not always harmonious and friendly. Fighting for food and fighting are normal.
Even in sunny days and sunshine, the two brothers will fight for a long time for a banana. Red beans want to eat an extra apple, but they are also fierce with chestnuts.
As long as this kind of conflict is within an appropriate range, the breeder will not intervene, and this kind of competition will also help keep the animals alive.
The Great Sage was full and drunk, in a lazy and happy mood, and walked slowly in the snow.
I walked to the edge of a rock and rubbed it against my cheek!
It seems to eat very comfortably.
As I walked, my upper body was getting lower and lower, and my chin was rubbed against the snow!
Turned over, revealing a fluffy belly, like a soft cotton candy.
With four claws facing the sky, with the waist that is too fat to see as the axis, twist left and right, and roll back and forth!
His eyes squinted, like a fat cat coquettishly.
Hug, hug of love!
Have fun and have fun.
This time there was a crit on the tourists, and the blood tank was empty!
"Awei is dead!"
"Mom, the medical soldiers, give me blood packs! I can't stand it anymore!"
"Hahaha, as expected, the rabbit is also a cat! It's fierce and cute."
"It's so cute! If only there is another Tibetan fox in the zoo, the two giants will gather together."
"I would rather have a snow leopard! I haven't seen a snow leopard yet."
"Tutu is really so naive and cute."
The two Xiu had finished eating the meat, and then went to rest. The great saint of Xi was hidden in a crack in the stone, and the Lantern Festival went straight back to the backyard.
Amemiya Xin took photos of various poses for the cute rabbit, and left here reluctantly.
...
At noon, I had a meal in the animal restaurant and strolled around the behemoth area.
The Rhino Museum is now complete!
The sun is shining on the grass, and four southern white rhinos are leisurely moving in the playground.
The southern white rhinos come from Africa, and there is no snow for them here. The environment is mainly green grass, yellow sand, and muddy mud pits.
Xingzi said: "Wow, you see they are fighting!"
In the direction that Kyoko is pointing, two rhinos are wrestling!
The body is huge, with thick skin like armor, like two armored chariots.
The huge head was lowered, his mouth was almost on the ground, and the big horns above his nose pressed against each other.
However, the two seemed to be more frolicking than fighting, and did not act very fiercely.
There was a stalemate for a while, one rhinoceros flicked its tail and started to push forward, while the other rhinoceros retreated.
After two or three meters, both rhinos stopped.
The receding rhino's ears swayed and his head tilted toward it, seeming to recognize its strength and step aside.
"call"
Amemiya heart breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid of them fighting!
The dazzling sharp corners are like electric drills, they look fierce.
When two rhinos had their top horns, a rhino came to watch the excitement.
Seeing the end of their battle, they paired up with the winner and raised their horns again.
It seems to be a daily entertainment for these rhinos!
The rhino, who had finished fighting, came to the mud puddle and walked a bit in.
Then roll inside, let the mud stick to the body.
Although the thick armor of the rhinoceros seems to be very defensive, the skin in the folds of the body surface is very delicate, with blood vessels and nerves distributed, and there are often bug bites and parasites.
So going around in the mud pit and taking a mud bath is an essential daily activity for these rhinos.
It can not only sunscreen, but also protect the skin from being bitten.
Seeing that a breeder was surrounded by people explaining something, I also went over to listen to the excitement.
"Do you know the meaning of the word lingxi in your heart?"
This question is very simple, and a tourist immediately replied: "That is to say, both parties can understand each other's minds."
The breeder smiled and said: "Yes, this is an untitled from Li Shangyin, with no colored phoenix flying wings, and a clear understanding of the heart. The original meaning was that the two parties in love are connected, but later it became broader.
The so-called rhinoceros is rhino horn!
There is such a story in Jin Shu. It is said that there is an unfathomable water pool, and the sound of music can often be heard at night.
A minister asked people to bring rhino horns to light them, and found all kinds of strange creatures under the water pool, some of them were riding horses and carts and wearing human clothes. When I was dreaming at night, I dreamed that these monsters came to him and blamed him for spying on myself. It didn't take long for me to be scared to death.
Therefore, the rhino horn has a mysterious color in the eyes of the ancients, which can distinguish the loyalty and the traitor and communicate with each other. "
Some tourists couldn't help but wondered: "Is there a native rhino in China? Why I haven't heard of it."
The breeder said: "When we talk about rhinos now, we might immediately think of the vast African savannah.
In fact, the footprints of rhinoceros once spread all over the two continents of Asia and Africa, and even once visited the Yellow River basin. Our ancestors lived next to animals such as rhinos, elephants, and tigers.
They are not only recorded in various books, but also cultural relics about rhinos can prove this point.
For example, now treasured in the National Museum, the bronze rhinoceros with wrong gold and silver moire patterns during the Warring States Period is a realistic image of a Sumatran rhino, covered with clouds made of gold and silver, very exquisite and gorgeous, you can look here! "
Although the zoo does not have a bronze rhino statue, a picture of it is displayed on the exhibition sign.
This rhinoceros statue is carved with intricate gold and silver lines, like auspicious clouds.
Lifelike, with smart eyes, like a living rhino, walking through history and walking towards everyone!
"Wow!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"This is something from the Warring States Period? That's awesome!"
The tourists all leaned in and watched, one after another in amazement, impressed by the superb skills of the ancestors!
The breeder said: "At present, there are five types of rhinos in the world. There are black rhinos and white rhinos in Africa, and Sumatran rhinos, Java rhinos, and Indian rhinos in Asia. These types of rhinos were once distributed in our country.
Thousands of years ago, during the Yin and Shang Period, the climate of the North China Plain was warm and humid, which was closer to the tropical climate. At that time, rhinos and elephants had a wide range of activities.
Later, with the expansion of agriculture and the cooling of the climate, the living space of rhinos was compressed and moved to the south. On the other hand, there was human influence.
The army used their skins as armor, and the doctor used rhino horns as medicine.
With the increasing demand for rhino horns, rhinos have been hunted and killed in large numbers, their numbers have decreased rapidly, and they have disappeared from the land of China. "
"Eh"
The tourists felt uncomfortable when they heard this, and sighed with mixed feelings.
In fact, it is more than a rhino?
The situation of many animals is very bad. There are only more than 150 gibbons left in the sky, and two to three hundred green peacocks.
Fate is almost on the edge of the cliff, precarious.
If it is not protected, the future may follow in the footsteps of rhinos.
