Chapter 110 Considerations for Mixed Breeding of Red Foxes

Dumplings on Blue Star are even rarer than those on Earth.

Although domestic zoos do not need to sign a bunch of trade agreements after more than ten years like foreign zoos do, those who are qualified to raise dumplings are at least provincial-level zoos.

Fang Ye called the forestry bureau in the city to find out, the process of applying for giant pandas is very cumbersome!

First of all, you need to prepare a bunch of materials, such as the application form for the administrative licensing of wildlife protection management, the legal person certificate, the organization code certificate and other unit certification materials, and the national key protected wild animal domestication and breeding license with the giant panda species, and the borrower will borrow the exhibition activities. and giant panda breeding and management, popular science education programs, and the written opinions of the forestry administrative departments of the provincial people's governments of both sides on the borrowing activities...

Just preparing these materials is a hassle!

After applying to the State Forestry Administration, it is necessary to demonstrate or conduct on-the-spot inspection of the giant panda breeding and management plan, venue and facilities of the borrower. During the borrowing period, a giant panda case file and a feeding log will be established, including a series of regulations on the feeding and management of giant pandas, medical and health conditions, etc.

Anyway, Fang Ye estimated that it would take at least two or three months to prepare the materials and apply for approval, and it would not necessarily be approved. This is much more difficult than applying to the city to contract tens of thousands of square meters of land.

But no matter how hard it is, try it!

The job of running the materials is handed over to a lucky employee, let the employee run, and he is responsible for stamping and signing.

There is no rush to rent a giant panda, so I continue to think about other animals.

A temporary small pavilion was arranged for the red fox before, but now we can consider changing to a larger pavilion to breed with other animals!

The choice of mixed animals is still very particular.

One is to choose animals that are relatively similar in all aspects to be mixed together. The most typical ones, such as lions and tigers, are carnivorous cats with similar body sizes and similar appearances.

Although tigers and lions may fight together, tigers and tigers, lions and lions may fight, and tigers and lions have similar fighting power. There is no such thing as hanging and beating the other.

If tigers and bears, tigers and wolves are raised together, it may be more dangerous, and it is obvious that they cannot live in harmony like tigers and lions.

Of course, animals that may cause hybridization cannot be mixed at will. If they are mixed, breeding control measures should be taken. For example, giraffes can only display female giraffes, and male giraffes participating in breeding are isolated from female giraffe groups of different subspecies.

Otherwise, the hybridization of different subspecies or even species will lose the meaning of nature education and species protection.

RB macaques are also called "snow monkeys" because their bodies are covered with snow every time winter comes, and they have also evolved the habit of collectively soaking in hot springs, with the famous "snow monkeys soaking in hot springs" landscape.

There is a group of snow monkeys living in RB's Fujin Natural Park, but the staff once found that some monkeys did not look like snow monkeys. After genetic testing, it was proved that some of the monkeys were indeed not pure-bred RB macaque genes.

The investigation found that some snow monkeys in the park ran out a few years ago and mate with some wild monkeys outside the park. These wild monkeys are common macaques and belong to invasive alien species, and they gave birth to a total of 57 offspring. These hybrid monkeys were finally euthanized in accordance with RB's environmental laws.

It may be a little cruel, but this is also a measure that has to be taken to protect biodiversity and protect the genes of native species from being polluted, otherwise native species will gradually become extinct.

The green peacock is one of the most well-known victims of genetic pollution. Now the green peacocks in many domestic zoos are more or less mixed with blue peacock genes because they were not conscious before.

And with the release, the farm peacocks escaped into the wild. Most of the green peacocks in the wild are the offspring of hybrids with blue peacocks. It may not be possible to see the native Chinese green peacocks in the future, only the foreign blue peacocks are left.

Animals with differences in various aspects can be mixed, and it can be considered that they do not occupy the same resources, such as arboreal and terrestrial, one lives on the tree and the other lives on the ground, located at different levels, which is not only conducive to harmonious coexistence, but also can form a three-dimensional display effect.

Or pair a diurnal animal with a nocturnal animal, and when one sleeps, the other becomes active, which naturally reduces competition.

You can also consider those with large differences in body size, such as bison and small deer animals. Large-sized animals generally do not bully small-sized animals after they are familiar with them. Instead, small-sized animals may attack large-sized animals because of the protection of their territory.

Then, avoid aggressive species. For example, male zebras are sensitive and aggressive, while female zebras are docile. Then the male zebras are kept alone, and the female zebras are exhibited or mixed with other herbivores. The male zebra comes.

Primates are the most difficult to mix with other animals, either keen to use violence to protect territory, or out of curiosity to harass other animals.

For example, macaques and deer are mixed together. Monkeys with naughty characters like to ride on the backs of docile deers and use them as cars. There are also some monkeys who are uncomfortable in the group. If they want to get close to a female monkey, they will be intimidated by the monkey king. If their desires are not vented, they may have evil thoughts on the cute deer and deer, and rub and rub on the deer's back. Some shitty stuff.

Of course, the docile deer may not mind, this is also an alternative friendship between animals.

In short, when animals are mixed together, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various information such as behavior characteristics. The most important thing is to learn from nature and see which animals live together in nature itself, so that the success rate of mixed breeding can be much higher.

Fang Ye thought about it, why not mix the red fox with the sika deer and blue sheep! If a suitable environment is arranged, and the intervention of the breeder, several animals should be able to be mixed.

The sika deer has white spots on its fur and is shaped like a plum blossom. It is a very representative deer animal in my country.

The form of blue sheep is between goats and sheep. It is native to the Himalayas and mainly lives in the alpine bare rock area. It is very good at rock climbing and can walk and climb on nearly straight rock walls. However, it is very adaptable, from high-altitude alpine meadows to mid-altitude shrubland and low forests, extreme heat and cold winds can be tolerated.

Several animals, first of all, blue sheep and sika deer are herbivores, and are generally not aggressive. Although red foxes are omnivores and eat meat, they all hunt small animals such as frogs, birds, rabbits, etc. that are smaller than their own size, and there is no direct conflict.

If several animals conflict, it is more likely to invade each other's territory, so they should arrange their own suitable environment.

Blue sheep have strong limbs, short and firm hooves, suitable for running and jumping between cliffs and rocks! Therefore, in the design of the exhibition hall, a rocky land can be arranged, and the blue sheep naturally likes to stay there.

Sika deer like to stay in the hillside woodland to eat the tender leaves of plants and shrubs, while red foxes can stay in any environment, so they can plant less plants and put more sand in the place where they live.

These kinds of animals have their own suitable living environment, and the animal house is also placed next to the environment customized for them, so the chance of conflict will naturally become smaller.
