I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 429 Want to smell it?

There is certainly much more to be told about the passenger pigeon story.

Originally, the Indians hunted with smoke. After the colonists learned it, they felt that it was not efficient enough, so they upgraded this method and burned them directly with sulfur.

Passenger pigeons like to huddle together to deal with threats. There may be tens of millions of passenger pigeons in a forest, and hundreds of thousands of them can fall off in one sulphur fumigation.

In one of Audubon's records, hunters rounded up a 300-square-kilometer passenger pigeon habitat. The poisoned pigeons fell to the ground like snowflakes, and even crushed the carriage used to transport the passenger pigeon's carcass.

Two farmers simply drove their pigs from more than 100 kilometers away to give them a feast.

According to the habits of passenger pigeons, hunters have come up with a way to sew the eyes of a passenger pigeon, tie it to a branch with a rope, and set up a net around it.

After hearing the news, the companions of the passenger pigeons came, thinking that there was food nearby, so they fell into the net one after another, and they could catch thousands of them in one net. The passenger pigeons used as bait are called "match pigeons".

However, on the outdoor display board, tourists may be too lazy to read too much content.

So just a brief introduction to the process of the extinction of the passenger pigeon.

The story of the extinction of the passenger pigeon has a huge impact, and Liu Wei has also heard it!

But I just know a rough idea. It seems that there were a lot of them because of human hunting and killing.

The first time I learned these details, my eyes widened in shock: "5 billion? Extinct in a century and a half?"

The two pictures on the exhibition card, the passenger pigeon in the sky like black clouds, and the solitary passenger pigeon, also caused a great impact on him.

What kind of concept is 5 billion? Humans seem to be only more than 7 billion.

Thinking about it like this is a little scary. I usually live a peaceful life. I have known from a young age about the hole in the ozone layer, global warming, and environmental degradation. I can often do it on reading questions, and writing essays is also a classic material.

I only know that I mention it every year, and it gets worse every year.

If there is a huge crisis, lethal infectious diseases, nuclear waste water, nuclear war, how long can human beings live?

Will it also disappear as quickly as the passenger pigeon at some point in the future?

No, no, it's scary! A little nervous just thinking about it.

In front of the passenger pigeon display board, some people were silent, sighing slightly, some people frowned, thinking attentively, some people glanced and left, and there were children laughing and stroking the lower passenger pigeon statue.

The squad leader clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's stop looking at the pigeons, let's go see the giant pandas. I checked the strategy before and said that the pandas are most active at eight or nine in the morning! Maybe they will rest when they go late."

"Oh!" Everyone cheered and agreed.

...

Come to the panda house!

Although Liu Wei watched the news before, he saw the appearance of the giant panda pavilion.

But at this moment, I couldn't help but be amazed: "Wow, this pavilion is so beautiful!"

"It's really beautiful! Compared with this place, the environment of the zoo at my house is really the same as that of a pigsty. I thought that all zoos were like that!" Some classmates were stunned and their worldview was overturned.

In spring, vegetation grows and everything recovers!

The temperature gradually warmed up, the hot and humid air from the ocean became active, and there was a light rain two days ago.

The sun, which had been calm and cool in the previous months, was now much warmer and brighter, with a soft golden tinge.

The blue of the sky seems to have become clearer.

After the rain, the plants and trees in the pavilion will take out fresh buds with the rising of yang, and they will begin to germinate with vitality.

In such a comfortable weather, Zhuangzhuang also looks very comfortable!

Lying on his side on the tender green lawn, his face resting on one of his claws, his two black hind legs overlapped, his posture was quite enchanting, like a drunken concubine!

Looking at a stone in the distance, I don't know what to think about!

Or simply dazed.

Yang Yue is like a child, smiling sweetly and happily, her eyes are full of excitement, and some are unbelievable!

He turned his head to look at Jiang Lan's expression, exchanged glances, and seemed to say, "It's really a panda!"

Then a series of "hehehehe" light laughter!

Even the beautiful class flower, when facing the cute panda, forgets what it means to be reserved!

Everyone admired the panda with relish, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures!

Zhuang Zhuang was in a daze for a moment, one arm was raised and stretched to the sky, his leg moved, his right leg was half bent, and he rubbed his belly with his heel with a grin.

Rubbing and rubbing, the body gradually changed from lying on the side to lying on the back, the right foot scratched his belly and the base of the leg, the raised arm swayed constantly with the scratching, and the left foot did not know when. .

Looking at this, it should be very comfortable to scratch!

Everyone couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's so cute."

"It's so rhythmic!"

"Swing, swing, let's swing together!"

After scratching the itch, Zhuangzhuang fell back to the ground, turned over and got up.

Slowly twisting his buttocks, he walked around the pavilion and began to patrol the exhibition hall.

Walking to the place near the glass curtain wall, everyone immediately waved to Zhuang Zhuang excitedly!

"Wow, here comes the panda!"

Wu Jiancong put his palm on the glass: "Panda Panda, let's give a high five!"

Seeing a big bear with a wide body and a fat body, in black and white, clawing through the bushes, and walking towards him with his thick black bear paws from the hillside, is still very visually impactful!

Zhuangzhuang actually didn't see them at all.

Originally, my eyesight is not good, and the light in the corridor is still darker than the exhibition area, which is a natural light barrier.

Unless you are one or two meters away from the glass curtain wall, you can see the inside.

Gradually walked away again and came to a tall and strong tree.

When I found a sack, I immediately leaned in and sniffed it with interest.

The sack was suspended from a stout tree trunk with springs and ropes and contained some bamboo leaves.

Zhuangzhuang is interested!

The man stood up, hugged the sack, and bit the sack firmly in his mouth.

Then a spin, lying on his back on the grass!

Holding the sack and swaying from side to side.

Because the spring is added to the place where the sack is attached, the toughness of the sack is very good!

He was pulled to the ground, pulled by the spring, and felt like he was jumping up.

Zhuangzhuang hugged the sack tightly, as if he was wrestling with a very strong opponent, practicing boxing!

Hey! what!

Shaking to and fro, the sharp teeth bit the sack, and soon the sack was full of holes.

However, Zhuangzhuang is not very hungry, he is more playing.

After playing for a while, I felt a little tired. I didn't want to work so hard. I let go of the sack and walked away slowly with my butt twisted.

Liu Wei saw the guide in work clothes in front of him, surrounded by tourists, who seemed to be explaining something, so he also leaned over.

I saw that the guide was wearing a glove and holding a green round bar in his hand. He smiled and said, "Who else wants to smell it?"

Liu Wei couldn't help but have a bad idea, raised his hand and asked, "Uh...what is this?"

The guide smiled kindly: "Fresh panda feces, just pulled out this morning, are you interested in smelling it?"
