章 498: Chapter 498: Hay net bag
Meiling and Meilan are not saying that they are good because they are from the same elephant camp. Elephants make friends based on their personality. They are more complicated than human beings, and their relationship is purer.
It's just that the two elephants have a good relationship.
If you like it, you will stay together often, go for a walk and eat together, and if you don't like it, you will be aggressive when you get along.
Like Meiling and Meilan, they like to sleep close together when they sleep in the back room, while Pingping is lying in the back of Bobo. After Bobo passes over, Bobo takes the initiative to stretch his nose, first put a flat nose on it, and then raises his nose. , Stroked back and forth on the flat head, as if an adult was touching a child's head, showing friendship.
Ping Ping also put his nose on Bobo, his ears flapped, and he was very happy, his mouth opened, and he let out a low whisper.
This kind of low voice can be heard when you get close, but the tourists outside the trench can't hear it.
Fang Ye can only judge that they are communicating through calm and Bobo's open mouth.
"The elephant that just walked past is named Pingping, and it is also the earliest elephant to come to our zoo! This is when she and Bobo are greeting each other. This gesture of touching each other's nose is an elephant's greeting ceremony and a sign of friendly relations. ."
Pingping looked at Meiling and Meilan, and stretched out her nose, like a human being stretched out her hand to greet.
Hi! the weather is nice today?
Mei Lan glanced at Ping Ping, but there was no response, while Mei Ling stared at her, opened her ears, and pulled her forefoot on the ground.
Don't bother us if it's okay!
Ping Ping hurriedly rolled his nose forward, and took a step back aggrievedly.
Saying hello to you so friendly and scared me.
Bobo opened his mouth and let out a low cry, as if to persuade him to fight.
Everyone comes from different places. It is fate to come to Linhai Zoo! The environment here is so good, we also need to cherish our current life, get along in harmony and avoid conflicts.
Bobo is big and old, so he is more respected.
Mei Ling was initially a little dissatisfied, Mei Lan stretched out her nose, took a ride with Mei Ling, and opened her mouth to communicate.
Oh, forget it, Senior Bobo is right!
Meiling gradually calmed down under the comfort of Meilan.
Fang Ye watched the elephants interact while explaining the meaning of their behavior to tourists.
The tourists listened to him explaining that Bobo has a peaceful and friendly relationship. Meiling and Meilan are good girlfriends. Meiling threatens and threatens to Pingping, and Bobo is trying to persuade her, which feels very interesting.
There is such a complicated social relationship between elephants?
Then, Bobo raised his nose again, hung a net bag on the top of his head, and beat him repeatedly!
The net bag dangled like a lob. With every slap, some withered and yellow things spilled down one after another.
When Bobo slapped the net bag, he calmly and the elephants like Meilan, and at the same time stretched out his nose, rolled up things and eaten them.
Liu Wei guessed that it is also a kind of food enrichment!
The tourists watched the elephant feeding and exclaimed: "Wow, this nose! It's really like an arm, it's so flexible!"
"It feels like our hands can do it, this elephant's nose can do it! Amazing!"
"Strong Dao is too big!"
Someone asked curiously: "President, what is this?"
Fang Ye smiled and said: "The net bag is filled with some hay! Hang the net bag in the air, the elephant needs to raise its head and stretch its nose to get food.
The movement of raising the head can exercise the muscles of the front chest and back, as well as the most important nose of elephants, which is very helpful to their health.
One elephant slaps the net bag, and other elephants can also eat. This way of feeding can also promote the unity of the elephant herd and make their relationship more harmonious. "
Liu Wei couldn't help sighing: "This richness is really amazing!"
Gao Kaijin looked at these elephants eating, with a mixed feeling.
There are also elephants in the zoo in his home city!
The area of the activity field is about 500 square meters, and they are all concrete.
The elephant was inside, shaking his head when he went to see it.
Some adults told the children that this is an elephant dancing.
Gao Kaijin was not very clear before, but felt that the environment was rather monotonous and the elephant looked boring.
But thinking about the zoo, the conditions are definitely not as good as those in the wild, no way.
After visiting the Linhai Zoo, I listened to the zookeeper's explanation and popular science exhibition, and learned about the concepts of animal welfare, enrichment, stereotyped behavior, and natural behavior!
Knowing that the elephants at the hometown zoo are okay to shake their heads, they should be stereotyped.
I saw the elephants of Linhai Zoo walking in the sand, digging out the food hidden in the concrete pillars, absorbing water and splashing them on the tourists, raising their noses and flapping the hay in the air.
Can the zoo environment be made like this? Can it be so rich?
Suddenly I became interested in elephants like never before, and wanted to learn more about elephants.
How do they play, what can they do with long noses and big ears, and what are the stories?
At the same time, I felt pity for the elephants in my hometown zoo!
Hey, I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods.
Fang Ye pointed to the device with a hay net bag and laughed: "In our elephant hall, the breeder can hang hay outside the hall and rise through these hoists.
The hay in one place is finished, and the hay in another place reappears. Elephants will constantly move, seek, and feed in the pavilion, just like their original state in the wild.
For elephants, enough walking is very important!
Elephants in captivity generally do not exercise enough, which will cause uneven wear of the foot pads and nails, causing damage to the nail bed. "
Although there are methods for pedicure and nails, this is equivalent to losing weight. One is to lose weight through exercise, and the other is to lose weight through diet tea, liposuction, etc. It must be healthier to lose weight through exercise.
Of course, enough walking is also built on the sand bedding in the elephant hall.
Sand or mud pits rubbing against the elephant's feet can have a wear effect. The smooth concrete floor is useless, and it will cause serious foot diseases in elephants after a long period of time.
The specific choice of sand is also particular. Normal sand is easy to cause compaction, so the sand in the playground is all river sand purchased from the system. It has good permeability and can quickly absorb water and elephant urine.
Moreover, the river sand is washed by the river without sharp edges and corners. It is round and blunt. When the elephant sleeps at night, it is more comfortable to lie on the sand.
The tourists listened to Fang Ye's explanation, their eyes widening.
"Wow!"
"66666!"
Liu Wei couldn't help but said to his friend: "I saw the first floor and knew it was a food enrichment. I thought it was the second floor. In fact, this wave of zoos is on the fifth floor!"
It can increase the elephant's interest in feeding, and it can also exercise muscles, so that the elephant population can be harmonious, and even continue to run and wear the feet.
This richness is too awesome, if the director didn't say it, he would not have thought of so many benefits.
