I Have a Safari Park

The road behind the predator exhibit was originally blocked, and I don't know what was being built, but it is now open.

Liu Wei and the others walked along the road for a while, and found that there was an open lake behind. There were large reeds near the shore, and there were no pavilions and waterside pavilions. Compared with the general park waterfowl lake, it looked more natural.

The original waterfowl lakes of many zoos are made in the form of traditional gardens, and the environmental needs of animals are not considered in the design.

The most typical is the revetment by the lake, which goes straight up and down, creating obstacles for animals between land and water activities, and there is no shelter for animals around the waterfowl lake.

On the side of Linhai Zoo, the revetment is a slope that is convenient for waterfowl to go up and down.

On the edge of the revetment and on the lake, there are also scattered "floating" tree trunks and roots.

In fact, the support column is used to connect the trunk to the bottom of the lake, and the support column cannot be seen on the water surface.

Such semi-floating tree roots not only look like a wetland landscape, but also provide a place for birds to rest.

Five or six birds with white breasts and black backs were docked on the tree trunks in the lake at this time, and one of them just flew over.

These birds are night herons, a very widespread species of bird.

It was not introduced by the zoo, but originally existed nearby and was attracted by the natural environment here.

In the middle of the lake, there was a group of yellow ducks swimming in the water, with their heads shrunk, looking flat and fat.

It is the red hemp duck that was rescued before the Linhai Zoo.

At the beginning of the release, there were still some red hemp ducks who were not used to the water and were only active on the shore.

Now, after being released for a while, they are gradually going into the water to play.

Some of the red hemp ducks have begun to fly away from the waterfowl lake to the mountains near the zoo to explore their surroundings.

But they didn't fly away at once. They would still fly back at night. They would sleep together as a group for the night, wait for the breeder to come over in the morning to put food, and then fly out to wave after eating.

This is soft release!

Provide animals with a haven for rest and food, let them have a process of gradually exploring and adapting to the wild environment, exercise their abilities, and leave naturally when they grow up.

The red hemp ducks formed different small groups in the water, and the soles of their feet moved to create a circle of ripples on the water.

The sun shines, and the lake is full of broken gold.

Wu Jiancong: "Huh, is this Peking duck?"

Liu Wei was instantly happy, not to mention the duck, the yellow feathers really felt a little crispy roasted.

There is no exhibition sign on the side, but the waterfowl lake has only repaired the nearby roads.

Wait for the zoo to introduce some water birds, and then make corresponding display cards.

The beautiful environment has attracted many tourists to come for a walk.

Walking under the shade of tall trees on the shore, watching water birds swimming leisurely in the lake, enjoying the coolness and gentle breeze by the lake, it is really very pleasant.

There was an old man sitting on a bench by the shore, watching the waterfowl and listening to the radio.

Some children also squatted down, stretched their hands out of the outer wooden fence, fiddled with the water splashes, and wanted to interact with the red duck.

However, these ducks are swimming in the lake water, and they don't come over at all.

There are volunteers watching over the water, and if any tourists want to throw some bread into the water, they will come forward to dissuade them.

Liu Wei and the others strolled around the waterfowl lake, went to the animal restaurant for lunch, and then went back.

Not only saw the rich behavior of elephants, but also saw the beautiful running and jumping gestures of black panthers who rarely show up.

Today's visit can be said to be full of fun.

...

Wang Yan also came over today and took a walk around the zoo.

Just when Fang Ye saw it, he immediately warmly invited him to the reception room to sit and chat.

Wang Yan also readily agreed.

Sitting on the sofa, he sighed: "Director Fang, your zoo is really good!"

Not polite words, but sincere compliments!

The environment and abundance of the elephant house are amazing, but what he thinks is the best is the farmland at the door.

There is such a zoo in a city. Children can experience farming activities from a young age, get to know all kinds of small animals around them, understand what green agriculture and organic farming are, and talk to their classmates about their experience in farming activities, and grow up. In the future, I will definitely have an intimacy with nature and become a person who respects nature and loves animals.

Moisturizing is silent.

There was also Waterfowl Lake, which he also visited, and keenly noticed the sloping revetments.

Such a design is undoubtedly very friendly to water birds!

I can't help but think, could Xinghe University refer to the style of this waterfowl lake?

The teaching building is still under construction on the new campus, and the garden part has not yet started.

If the green lake is designed to be more friendly to animals, attracting all kinds of animals and wild birds, and even nesting in the university, it would be a really good nature education class for students.

He chatted with Fang Ye before, discussing urban animals and how people and animals can live in harmony.

A large-scale protected area is good, but it can only be done in a place with a large area and sparsely populated. In a densely populated area, if a special reserve cannot be set up to make room for wild animals, towns can also become a place for animals to inhabit and reproduce.

After talking about the idea, Fang Ye smiled and said, "This is not bad! I heard Teacher Lu say this some time ago."

Yanda is an example of a century-old habitat restoration.

Now Yanda has been merged into Peking University. At that time, the area of ​​Yanda was 100 hectares, and the green space was about 40 hectares.

Within a 40-hectare area, there are more than 200 species of birds, 600 species of plants, 11 species of mammals, and so many wild animals and humans can coexist in a densely populated area.

One is people's awareness of ecological protection, and the other is that when Yan University was building the campus, it collected plants and seeds from the North China Plain and planted them on the campus.

Today, the appearance of the green space is still the same. With such a vegetation base, native animals can multiply and the biodiversity is very good.

Speaking of local animals, Wang Yan and the others recently conducted a survey on the raccoon dogs in Linhai by means of infrared cameras, interviews, etc., and found that the distribution of raccoon dogs is quite large, and traces of raccoon dogs have been found in 30 communities.

However, the residents are not very sensitive to the wild animals around them and rarely notice them.

Some people found the raccoon dog while walking the dog at night. There was a conflict between the dog and the raccoon dog. They took a photo, but they didn't know what it was.

Now it's just a few occasional small frictions. Wang Yan guessed that in five years, after the raccoon dog adapts to the city, there may be general conflicts with the residents.

Fang Yedao: "This is the responsibility of our zoo. When the time comes, we will build an exhibition hall to introduce the raccoon dog and let the public understand how to get along with them."
