Capítulo 457: Chapter 457: How many steps does it take to transport an elephant?
Pingping ate a piece of apple and was as happy as a three-ton child!
stretched out his long nose again, looking at Fang Ye.
Fang Ye also looked at Ping Ping, carefully looking at her eyes, and saw a hint of expectation.
has come into contact with so many animals, and now his understanding of animals has evolved into an intuition similar to the sixth sense.
Animals are happy or angry, timid, gentle or mischievous, and you can get a general feeling after getting along for a while.
Feeling that she has a good personality, she smiled and stroked her nose.
was equal for a while, did not receive the apple, put his nose back in disappointment, and walked away slowly.
With a long iron chain tied to his front ankle, he dragged it on the ground as he walked.
The next step is to do business!
There is a famous question, how many steps does it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator?
The answer is three steps. The first step is to open the refrigerator, the second step is to put the elephant in, and the third step is to close the refrigerator door.
This is of course humorous.
But it takes a few steps to transport an elephant. This is a serious question.
The average weight of is 2700 kg, which is close to 3 tons. It is not easy to transport it to the zoo.
The first step is to customize a special transfer cage according to the elephant's height and body shape.
The flat transport cage is 4.5 meters long, 2.4 meters wide and 3 meters high. Each railing has the thighs of an adult male. The cage alone weighs two tons.
The cage is covered with dense barbed wire to prevent the elephant's flexible nose from sticking out and causing injury or injury.
Therefore, it is necessary to communicate and discuss in advance to transport elephants, and the most basic cages cannot be changed temporarily in ten and a half months.
The second step is to train the elephants, enter the transport cage, and adapt to the transport cage in advance.
This job also started two months ago!
The breeder sprinkled the feed on the road leading to the transport cage, most of the feed was placed in the transport cage, guided to enter the transport cage, familiar with the cage, every day to do this training, deepen the memory, just to be able to load the car smoothly today .
Now I can get in and out of the transport cage at will, and I am very used to the cage.
"Plain!"
The breeder shouted outside, calling her to the outfield where she was usually trained in the transfer cage.
After two months of training, Pingping went straight to the transfer cage after coming in.
I didn't see the feed in the cage, but I saw the keeper outside who was preparing for loading. He raised his nose and flexed it twice like a human hand. He seemed to say, "What's the matter if you call me over? Eat? What about?"
turned his head and looked at the breeder on the other side!
looked at the lively situation outside in a daze, and then walked into the cage by himself.
There were more than twenty people outside this meeting, Fang Ye, two people, Lao Yang, breeders, and construction workers. They heard that they were going to transport elephants to see the bustling employees' family members. In addition, there was also a huge hoisting truck parked. And trucks.
The breeder "Brother Zhong" shouted: "Pingping, yes, stand still and don't move, I'll give you an apple!"
Brother Zhong also has to follow all the way, as a familiar breeder, to calm her emotions on the road.
Another time the breeder took out a piece of fruit from the bucket he was carrying and gave her as a reward, attracting Pingping to move forward.
The flat nose sticks out from the feeding gap, rolls up the apple, and eats piece by piece.
At the same time, Brother Zhong used a stick here to reach into the iron cage, hook the iron chain on her foot, and then tie it up on the pillar circle by circle.
The function of anklet is to fix the elephant's feet on the cage to limit the range of movement!
Prevent the elephant from moving too much on the road, which will affect the balance of the body and cause the car to overturn.
If it is an elephant with long-term behavior training, the breeder can use the goal stick to put the elephant's feet on the crossbar without moving, and give the elephant a pedicure. Of course, it can also take the opportunity to tie the chain.
The rescue center used a stupid way to attract elephants to stand forward with food, and Brother Zhong took the opportunity to tie the chain.
But Pingping seems to have noticed something, it feels different today!
wasn't very cooperative, turned his head and glanced at them, and retracted his feet, so that the chain that was reached was retracted again.
Brother Zhong shouted: "Hey, obedient! Don't move your feet!"
was yelled at and put his foot back again.
In fact, there is a backup plan. Anyway, they had never overturned an elephant before.
The elephant was transported ten years earlier. The transport cage was not so advanced. There were only a few railings, and there was no barbed wire. Isn't it the same as transport?
But it's a bit rough.
Fang Ye communicated with Dumbo, an elephant breeder who he knew in the "Zoo Dry Goods Group", and heard from him that the way his master transported elephants was wilder decades ago.
There would be no such high-class cranes as they are now. Elephants can be hoisted up in a transfer cage and then transported on a truck.
Directly, people accompany the elephant on the freight train and let the elephant get on and off the train by himself.
At that time, the train was still slow, and it took two days and two nights to arrive. I accompanied the elephants on the road to eat and drink, and I had to calm the elephants not to move, and they couldn't sleep well. This was a great test for people's spirits.
Of course it is impossible to do this now, it is too dangerous.
If the elephant is uncomfortable, he can't hide it by throwing his nose or kicking it.
The time to eat the apple piece by piece, the chain was quickly tied up.
At the same time, two sturdy iron pillars were installed in the back.
After everything is ready, the onlookers spread out in a circle, the crane installed the hook, and the hoisting began!
The hooks of the truck carried the steel wires at the four corners of the transfer cage, pulling the transfer cage slowly up from the ground. Four or five people were holding one corner of the rope to keep the cage stable and not to sway in the air, and to control the direction. There were a few people around. Observe the situation in the cage, coordinate and command, and keep shouting.
"Hey, click here, click here!"
"Be careful!"
"You can drop it drop it, be careful!"
The scene is very lively!
walked around in small steps, looking a little panicked!
However, it is restricted by a cage, and an anklet is tied to his foot, so he can't make much movement.
The nose kept sticking out from the gap left, and he leaned down, as if he wanted to find out where the ground was!
Because there were some trees on the side, the crane couldn't get it in place at one time. After adjusting the position three times, the transfer cage was transported to the truck with the elephant's buttocks facing forward and head backwards.
This is also a safety consideration to avoid the elephant's head hitting the railing when there is a sudden brake on the road.
After was loaded on the truck, Pingping kept shaking his head up and down inside, his ears kept flapping, and his nose leaned down vigorously. Obviously, he was in a nervous mood. He was frightened by being hung in the air just now.
Then he started to fix the cage again, and loaded the cart with fodder, mango, apple and various fruits for eating on the flat road.
Brother Zhong started to cut up apples on the side of the road while loading the car, and added a meal to Ping Ping to soothe her emotions.
The truck master put his arm on the window, waiting to drive, looking deep into the front, very masterful!
Not all truck drivers have the opportunity to transport elephants.
The next step is to take a ferry across the sea and drive all the way to the zoo.
After loading the feed, the truck starts slowly.
Other staff greeted from behind: "Good journey!"
"goodbye!"
"Goodbye in peace! Happy new zoo!"
