Chapter 656
Enter the Snow Mountain Zoo.
The first thing that caught my eye was a group of tourists wearing white hats standing in front of the pool where flamingos were raising photos.
There was a huge Galapagos tortoise walking through the crowd, and two zoo staff followed it to take care of it.
This Galapagos tortoise is about one meter long and has not yet matured. They can grow to 1.8 meters long and are only distributed in the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
The walking speed is particularly slow, and it is said that it can only walk more than 200 meters per hour. If the rabbit raced with it for a thousand meters, even if he had a sleep in the middle, he would be able to easily win it.
The tourists have a tacit understanding and did not touch this big guy. The bacteria on animals can affect people, and the bacteria on humans can also kill animals.
When Darwin first arrived in the Galapagos Islands, there were about 250,000 Galapagos tortoises, and now there are only 15,000 left, including those raised around the world, with even fewer numbers in the wild.
The main reason for their rapid decline was that whalers and pirates from the 18th to the 19th century often captured elephant turtles as food for long-distance sailing.
The poor big guys lived in their 100-year-olds and almost died out because of their delicious meat.
Han Xuan asked the keeper: "Good noon, why did you release it?"
The keeper said: "It just ate thirty kilograms of food and was unwilling to move on the grass, which would not be good for health.
Only when you see the crowd will it run occasionally.”
"Thirty kilograms of food are so terrifying." Han Xuan saw the Galapagos turtle and walked towards him, standing there without moving. This turtle is a vegetarian, has a gentle personality and is not dangerous.
The Galapagos turtle stretched its head, like the legendary domineering. Unfortunately, it had a funny face, a small mouth and small eyes, and suddenly lost its majesty.
He shook his hand to the old elephant turtle and said goodbye to the totoro house where Mickey and Minnie live.
Looking through the glass, there were dead grass and shrubs on the ground, which was both a food and a place for chinchillas to visit.
Many chinchillas were chasing and fighting on the rockery, and in some small cabins, their fat and cute faces were stretched out.
Most of them are ordinary gray chinchillas. Other colors are bred through artificial hybridization. Those chinchillas look good on the outside, but they are not as healthy as gray chinchillas and their lifespan will be reduced.
From the cradle hanging on the branches, Han Xuan found Mickey and Minnie, who were sleeping soundly.
He gently tapped the glass with his fingers. Minnie, with beautiful white hair, immediately alerted to open her eyes.
Then he ran quickly, and the velvet black Mickey followed closely behind...
I brought them out and lived with other chinchillas for a long time, and their hair was covered with some smell.
The staff of the zoo brought two wooden tubs with sand baths. The two guys jumped in and rolled around, and dust flew.
After washing, Han Xuan held Mickey in his hand.
The round fat guy, who hadn't seen his master for a long time, had his eyes narrowed, revealing two slightly yellow front teeth.
Han Xuan rubbed its smooth and soft belly and asked Anya to help hold Minnie.
She smiled and rubbed Minnie's head with her face. She had a lot of bath sand on her face. She didn't notice this and still smiled and talked to Minnie, praising her cuteness.
As for their three children, they should have been kicked out of the house now. Among the nearly forty chinchillas, Han Xuan couldn't tell the way those little guys looked when they grew up...
In the Little Panda Pavilion, three red-brown-haired Little Pandas are fighting because of a female. When the males are in estrus, they are fighting for the right of spouses.
Among the vast fences, there are a total of nine little pandas. Including the unemployed, Kaudie, Babu, five males and four females, who are usually more meaty and less.
The three adult male pandas stood up and hit each other with their short legs. They didn't look intense at all, but their big tails were swept, but they were a little cute.
The breeder was standing in the fence with a smile, observing which female bears like, and then he could take them to mate.
Cody and Babu held the apples, eating and watching the fun. Suddenly they noticed something, and immediately threw the apples away and ran out of the crack in the door behind the keeper.
The man was about to chase them, but at this time he heard Han Xuan say, "It's okay, sir!"
It's really okay. The two guys have already run to Han Xuan, hugged his legs and acted cute and begged to take them away.
In a zoo, watching various animals is a very interesting thing, and people can realize that the earth is not just for humans.
The huge African elephant is playing with tourists playing balls. The long ivory is more than one meter long, but there is no need to worry that someone will think of this valuable pair of teeth.
The hippo and the crocodile live in harmony. A crocodile is slightly closer to the cute little hippo. The female hippo immediately opens her mouth and threatens it.
Even the ferocious crocodile dare not easily deal with such "roommates" who are prone to furious. The hippo's body weighs a ton of fat, and it also means strong strength, and its biting force is enough to tear open the tough skin of the crocodile.
Han Xuan got some good news from the old Director Giles that a South China tiger gave birth to three cubs.
Among the precious northern white rhino, there are also heads that have been confirmed to be pregnant. After more than a year, a northern white rhino cub will be born in the world.
Things to protect them are in the right direction.
Walk to Zhushan where the panda lives and go up the plank road with guardrails.
After walking six or seven hundred meters, I didn't see the figure of Old Barry's family. Instead, there was a missing big toucan squatting on the trunk of the tree and protruding his head. Several staff members were trying to climb the tree and catch it back.
When they approached the top of the mountain, Han Xuan discovered the pandas. The lazy family of three was lying on the rocks and basking in the sun.
Little Barry heard Han Xuan call it and struggled to flip his body, but he couldn't get up several times.
Old Barry helped push it kindly, but the force seemed to be a little stronger. He pushed his son off the rock, fell into the grass, and rolled several times.
The angry little Barry was about to teach his father a lesson. Seeing that the situation was not good, the adult panda slipped away instantly, ran towards Han Xuan, lay on the railing, and looked at him with those dark circles.
He reached out and scratched Old Barry's short chin with fat and hard hair, but his face was funny no matter how you look at it.
Han Xuan stretched out his arm from the gap in the railing and stroked the head of Little Barry who had just run over.
It rained a few days ago, and these pandas survived in bad places similar to those in the wild, making them dirty, with only their faces slightly better.
After Lao Giles Yuan was ill, he was planning to travel around the world, but he couldn't let go of these animals that had been caring for all his life, but now he stayed in the Snow Mountain Zoo.
Found an entrance, opened the lock on the railing with the key, he went in and carried the little bar out, and smiled and said, "Take it to take a shower. It has been wet recently and is prone to skin diseases."
Little Barry was dissatisfied with being held by the old man, so he opened his dirty arms and begged Han Xuan to hug him, making cute screams similar to the baby's "Huh, Huh".
Han Xuan disliked it and pushed it away: "I don't want it, you're so dirty."
This action broke the hearts of countless tourists nearby, and sighed in secret that they were in a blessing and did not know how blessed they were... (~^~)
