Capítulo 205: Chapter 205: Do wolves eat people?
The zoo opened at night for the first time, and Fang Ye, of course, also strolled in the garden.
Wandering from the tiger hall to the wolf hall, I heard the howl of the wolf from a distance.
Seeing the tourists, he smiled and said hello: "How about it, have you seen a wolf?"
"Hello principal!"
"Good evening, principal!"
"I saw a wolf, and I just ran over here, I don't know where I went!"
The tourists greeted each other with gusto, and then someone couldn't wait to ask: "President, the howling of wolves is terrifying, do you think wolves can eat people?"
"Yes, the eyes are faint like ghost fire, it's too scary."
Fang Ye was a little funny: "You are all afraid of wolves? Why are you afraid of wolves?"
"Don't be afraid during the day, afraid at night!" A tourist was very honest.
A middle-aged man said with a solemn expression: "I used to hear old people say that every year there are children in the village being taken away by wolves. Sometimes the children play by themselves in the yard, and they will not be seen when the family comes out.
Once when the wolf was walking into the ditch with the child in his mouth, the villagers found it stopped. The family was still chasing after him. The wolf saw too many people and threw the child down and ran away. Although the child was lucky to survive, but I was bitten and disfigured by a wolf. When I grow up, half of my face is covered with scars. The real thing on our side! "
"Wow!" The tourists next to him let out a low exclamation.
"My old man also said that in the 1940s and 1950s, the wolf disaster in the northeast was very serious! At that time, wolves were not afraid of people. Incidents of hurting people and stealing livestock have occurred from time to time."
Another tourist thought: "I remember reading a piece of news before that it was a female college student who went to Qinghai alone for a 20-day trip. The police finally found her body in Hoh Xil, with only bones left. It was ruled out that it was homicide. So it must have been eaten by animals like wolves or bears!"
The tourists were terrified to hear it, and felt terrible to think about it!
Fang Ye listened to everyone and said, "This is more complicated to talk about. First of all, I can tell you a simple conclusion, that is, don't be afraid of wolves, because in the past two decades, nothing happened in the world. Several incidents of wolves attacking people on their own initiative.
The few incidents where wolves attacked people also occurred when wolves were eating domestic animals. People were in conflict with wolves in order to protect domestic animals. People were injured during the conflict. "
Some tourists couldn't help asking: "What happened to the female college student who was killed by the wolf?"
Fang Ye looked at the tourists here. They were all adults and no children, so they could talk about some in-depth topics, so he explained patiently: "People lost contact for 20 days. If they lost contact for such a long time, it is possible to freeze to death and starve to death. Will not actively attack people, but will eat corpses. After the corpse rots, the smell will diffuse. Animals such as wolves, bears, eagles, and vultures are all scavengers and will naturally be attracted to them and eat the corpses.
There is no evidence that people were attacked and killed by wild animals when they were alive, but when everyone heard that there were only bones left, and homicide was ruled out, did they directly identify the killer as a wild animal, or even a wolf? "
Suddenly several tourists nodded silently, and some showed reflections, as if it was indeed the case, and they gave the wolf a black pot without thinking.
Fang Ye spread his hand and said helplessly: "This is people's stereotypes and prejudices against animals like wolves and tigers. When you think of them, you will think of'cruel, tyrannical and dangerous beasts.'
Of course, there are reasons for this prejudice. There have been wolf disasters and tiger disasters in history. Therefore, these carnivorous beasts in many literary works at home and abroad are negative images, such as'Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf','Friends come and have a good drink "The jackal came with a shotgun', this negative impression has also been passed down along with literary works, and it is still rooted in people's hearts today.
But today's environment is different. Tigers and wolves are not much left. The chance of encountering a wolf or a tiger in the wild is even smaller than winning a lottery.
Moreover, when they encounter people in the wild, they basically walk away from them. You are afraid of them, and they are also afraid of you. "
"It turned out to be so."
A sturdy elder brother said deeply: "Yes, people's understanding of animals should be constantly improving, and they can't stay in the past. My impression of wolves was not very good at first, but I went shopping in the wolf hall. Several times, after seeing those popular science exhibitions and understanding their role in the ecosystem, the impression has changed."
"Big brother is right. Let everyone eliminate prejudice, understand animals correctly, and know how to treat animals. This is also the meaning of our zoo." Fang Ye praised his big brother with a thumbs up.
Now that we talked about this topic, we should explain it clearly. Otherwise, we just said that the current wolves will not attack people, and it will not completely dispel everyone's concerns. By the way, we can also talk about how to deal with wolves in the wild.
Continue to explain: "As for why wolves attack people, some researchers have conducted investigations, and finally classified the reasons into four categories, namely, rabies, defensive attack, predatory attack, and competitive attack."
The tourists are listening attentively!
Fang Ye whispered: "It's easy to understand suffering from rabies. Wolves will become manic, leave the pack, and bite everything that is movable and immobile around them.
The attack of the sick wolf is different from the predatory attack in that the sick wolf will bite whoever catches it. The attack is full of randomness and will not eat the victim. However, wolves are not the main reservoir of rabies, and there are very few cases of sick wolves hurting people.
As for the defensive attack, when a person invades a wolf, the wolf passively launches an attack because of fear or anger, with the purpose of fleeing the person or driving the person away.
For example, when a female wolf brings her cubs, people appear around the nest. The female wolf attacks people in order to protect the wolf cubs. In fact, it is the same with other animals. Birds attack people in order to protect the nest. I think everyone Have you heard a lot? "
Suddenly a tourist appeared and said: "I have experienced this! One time when I was walking, I ran into a bird on the ground. I was wondering if it fell out of the nest I won't be strayed. The cat was taken away and was about to be brought back to be raised. As a result, two birds flew over and pecked at me. I thought it might be their children and put them down quickly."
Fang Ye warned: "Well, this is the right thing to do. If you come across this kind of chicks that fall outside the nest, please don't take them back at will. Most people don't know how to take care of the young birds. The survival rate of domesticated birds is very low, and Even if they are fed, the birds don't know how to forage and guard against natural enemies when they grow up.
The bird might have just failed the test flight, and the relatives are watching over. In this case, leave them directly, or put them back into the branches of the bush. If you are not sure what to do, contact the animal rescue center for professional help. "
The rescue of birds is also something that the public lacks understanding. After the completion of the Bird House, there will be a special exhibition board to introduce it!
Back to the topic: "When you encounter an inexplicable attack by a wolf, it is good to evacuate this area first.
There are defensive attacks and wolves attacking hunters, and wolves attacking the trainer, not to mention this. In this case, the wolf will generally only attack once quickly, rather than chasing and biting continuously. "
