After answering everyone's doubts, Fang Ye smiled again: "I just said that the tiger is going up the tree quickly, let's show it to you!"
The tourists suddenly became excited: "I haven't seen a tiger climbing a tree yet!"
"I watched it once when I came back, and forgot to make a video, this time I have to remember it!"
After shouting Meng Shi, Meng Shi went to the backstage to get a piece of meat and came to the balcony on the second floor of the Tiger Pavilion.
Put the meat in a sack, hang it on a hook, and operate the pulley mechanism to slowly rotate.
I saw a sack dangling in the air and moved towards the ten-meter-high tree trunk in the grass area of the exhibition area.
There are loops of rope on the trunk, which is convenient for tigers to climb and wrap around.
You can see the side with the pulley, because tigers often climb, there are many signs of wear on the rope.
Jiaojiao was lying on the edge of the pool and lazily licking her paws. After a while, she suddenly smelled something.
He opened his mouth slightly, sniffed the smell, and looked towards the grass. When he saw the sack, his amber eyes lit up.
Get up from the water pool, take a step, and walk towards the tree trunk calmly.
After walking a few steps, he turned into a trotting posture, and when he was almost in front of the tree trunk, he leaped lightly.
With the front paws, the back heels kicked, the front and back paws alternately moved. In less than two seconds, they climbed to the top of the trunk flexibly and quickly. The strong unicorn arms embraced the trunk with full muscles.
Raise your head, bite the sack and pull it down, to compare with the sack.
When the tourists saw this scene, whether they saw it for the first time or not, they couldn't help but exclaim!
"Wow!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"This tree climbs too fast, it's faster than my running speed!"
"It's like running on a tree, like walking on the ground!"
"Where's Newton, come and take care of it!"
"Oh my god, it's a little scary to go up with such a high trunk just a few steps!"
"It took two seconds to go up, I guess I won't be able to climb up in two minutes..."
"When I was young, I listened to stories. When the cat taught the tiger the skills, he kept a hand. I didn't teach it to climb the tree. I have believed in it for many years."
"I saw leopards climbing trees before. If tigers are running on trees, leopards are flying on trees."
Fang Ye said: "Is it fast? Tiger's sharp claws can be easily embedded in the bark to help them pick up on the tree! In fact, lions can climb trees, but no tigers are so good at them.
Everyone, look at Jiaojiao's vigorous and healthy body.
How to judge whether a tiger is healthy or not? The ideal situation is that the fur is well maintained, the eyes are bright, and the contours of the muscles can be seen.
If the body is thin and unable to see the muscles, the fur is dull and sloppy, and the eyes are sunken and dull, it may be due to food cuts or physical illness. Of course, zoos are generally not bad at this amount of food expenses. It is more likely that there is disease, such as inbreeding. South China Tiger.
There is fat on the abdomen. There is no obvious boundary between the shoulders, abdomen, and hip bones. They are fatter. If they are too fat, it is not good. Cardiovascular and joint diseases may occur.
In the captive state, there are not so many opportunities for activities in the wild. In order to keep the tigers physically and mentally healthy, we will also do some enrichment, add some obstacles to them in obtaining food, and exercise during the process of obtaining food. "
In some zoos, tiger climbing trees is used as an entertainment item. A small piece of meat is hung on the rope, and the meat is still dangling. A bunch of tigers are watching from below, purely playing with tigers.
If you insist, you can be considered rich, but tourists certainly don't think so.
In Linhai Zoo, this kind of enrichment of hanging meat on tree trunks is not every day, and it is rotated like other enrichment projects. At the same time, the breeder will also give an explanation, and must tell the tourists the meaning of enrichment.
While she was talking, Jiaojiao pulled the sack off and held it in her mouth, turned her head and looked down, moved down a bit, then bent her body, quickly changed her front paws, and pushed her hind paws on the trunk. , Arms extended.
Like an athlete diving, he gracefully jumped out of the air.
With a sack in his mouth, his tail floated behind and landed firmly on the grass.
The tourists can't help but applaud!
"So handsome! So handsome!"
"If you participate in the Olympic Games, you will definitely win several gold medals."
"It deserves to be my favorite big tiger."
The sorbet ran over with Jiaojiao Pidian Pidian, watching eagerly from below, as if he wanted to share a piece of the pie!
After Jiaojiao pulled the sack down, she pressed it with one of her claws, bit and tore the sack with sharp teeth, and quickly tore the sack open.
A few pieces of meat fell out of it!
The sorbet poked her head, squeezed it to Jiaojiao's mouth, took a piece of it, and ate it happily.
Jiaojiao glanced at the sorbet, but said nothing.
In her eyes, sorbet is still a little tiger.
Otherwise, even if it is a friend or a brother, if you pull the meat off, you will eat it by yourself and will not share it.
The breeder will also place food separately in the venue, so that each tiger can find something to eat on its own, so as not to fight.
Fang Ye couldn't help smiling as he watched this scene.
When he was about to leave, another tourist came after him. It was the girl with the ponytail just now.
Ponytail said: "President, I still have questions!"
Fang Ye said kindly, "Say!"
Ponytail said: "Some people on the Internet are particularly annoying. Even if you say that tigers are not dangerous as long as they know the correct way of getting along with them, you still firmly disagree with tigers, saying that you want to let the tigers go to your home and let the Virgin raise them. That's right. How would you explain it?"
Fang Ye smiled and said, "This is normal, but there is actually nothing to explain.
We usually talk about biodiversity, and people are also diverse. For example, when I was in the wolf hall once, I said that wolves are all right and can't eat people. You don't have to be afraid to see them in the wild. You can even say hello. Someone frowned and turned around and left.
Some people explain that he can accept and understand, and some people have deep-rooted impressions and will not change easily.
But whether you want to accept it or not, coexisting with animals is an objective fact.
It's not that humans set up a place or a protected area, saying that this is your animal's territory, and the animals will stay there and stay away from humans.
Nature is not customized by humans. As long as there is water, forests, and bushes where people live, raccoon dogs, wild boars, foxes, tigers, and even elephants will appear near humans. This is the law of nature. Typing on the keyboard, feeling dangerous, and not wanting to get along with them, can't change this fact.
Like wild boars, there are many in Barcelona and Berlin. There are thousands of them. Kill them all. Can they be killed? If you don't kill it, it will spread around you. What should you do if you kill the ecological environment? Many countries and many cities are accepting a certain degree of coexistence. "
