Chapter 313: Yo Yo Lu Ming

After looking at the blue sheep, Fang Ye and the blue carp walked forward again and came to the territory of the sika deer.

The vegetation here is much denser than the hills of the red fox and the rocky mountains of the shale!

If you look carefully, you will find that the trees are covered with a protective net. This is to prevent the sika deer from gnawing on the bark.

Although it is very convenient to have a system to supplement trees, it is better to be able to do protection.

In the grass on the opposite side is a small sika deer, which is obviously smaller than an adult deer.

Run quickly to the edge of the fence and look at the tourists across the wooden fence!

The ears are long and big, and the brown-yellow fur has white spots on it, like plum blossoms. This is the most obvious feature of sika deer and the source of their name!

The little sika deer is a little curious about the tourists. His round black eyes are staring at the tourists. There are also a slip of eyelashes on the eyes. They look beautiful and cute.

I have to say that the face value is very high!

No wonder that in many fairy tales or cartoons, the deer is a symbol of purity and beauty.

"Wow, this little deer is so cute!"

The tourists saw that the little deer liked it too much. The little deer suddenly opened his mouth and let out a crisp and tender voice: "Hey!"

The parents with the children laughed endlessly: "Hey, the cry of this little deer is so fun!"

An otaku who likes watching anime looked astonished, and pinched his cheek: "Fuck!? Did I get it wrong?"

The deer said in a correct tone: "Hey!"

It's not an illusion, it's really called that way!

"Now! Now!"

Called several times!

After the initial astonishment, the otaku got excited and took out his cell phone: "This little sika deer is a newt! Come and I will record a video for you!"

The deer suddenly turned around and ran away!

"Eh~" The tourists looked at its distant back and made a regretful voice.

"Yo~yo~~~!"

At this time, there was another whistling sound from a distance.

The tourists suddenly looked around curiously: "Who is blowing the whistle? It's pretty good!"

"It seems to be in the exhibition area!"

"Is the breeder blowing the whistle? Is it training the animals?"

"Yo~Yo~~~"

The melodious whistle sound is as long as a needle and has a strong penetrating power!

Fang Ye coughed twice, attracting the attention of tourists, and said with a smile: "This is not our breeder's whistle, but the call of sika deer!"

"President Fang! How good is the principal!"

"The call of a sika deer?"

Fang Ye nodded and smiled: "Yo Luming, Shiyezhiping! Did you know that everyone has heard this poem?

The sound of adult sika deer is this kind of "yo-yo" sound. Recently, the sika deer is in estrus. The male sika deer will make a chirping sound, which is louder than usual. Please warn other competitors! Isn't the cry nice? "

"It sounds really good!"

Just as he was talking, a sika deer ran from behind the woods to the grass, making a pleasant cry of "Yo-yo", wide-eyed, and looked at the tourists vigilantly.

At this time, a tourist touched his chin and frowned. It seemed that something was wrong. "President, you said this is the warning sound of a male sika deer. Is this just a male sika deer?"

"Yes!"

"Then why doesn't it have antlers on its head?"

"Huh, really!"

The tourists thought of deer antler!

Are the antlers cut off and sold for money?

Even if the farm does this, the zoo does the same?

I couldn't help asking: "The director, this is not so good. Shouldn't the zoo show the natural beauty of animals?"

Fang Ye didn't say anything yet, a tourist said first: "Have you not seen the sign there? The sign said that the antlers in the park have been cut off, because the deer will fight and cut off the antlers. To ensure their safety!"

Fang Ye explained with a smile: "Although there are instructions on the exhibition board, let me talk to you again.

Why cut off the horns of deer? First of all, antlers, like human nails, will continue to grow out. Even if we don't cut them, they will naturally fall off every year.

Newborn deer antlers are called deer antlers, with a layer of fluff on the outside, which slowly harden and become bony deer antlers.

The antlers we cut are not antlers, but antlers that have been completely ossified and have no value.

When they are in the estrus period, in order to make the horns more advantageous when fighting, they will grind the horns on the trees and stones to make the horns sharp and sharp. The sharpened horns are just like sharp spears. You can imagine it!

The Bucks are very violent! Not only will they attack each other, they will even attack the doe and fawn during estrus.

This is very dangerous for the breeder or other animals.

Deer are sensitive and cautious, and even a little nervous. This is a necessary guarantee for their survival in the wild. They are very vigilant if there is a little turbulence, and they must keep a distance from the predator to avoid being hurt.

This sensitive nature is written in genes and will not disappear because of the captive environment.

This deer is very sensitive at first, and I don't know when it will feel threatened. In case the breeder is feeding, which of the tendons is suddenly wrong, he will poke it according to the chest, it is not a blood hole to poke into the person. It's gone.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of other animals and keepers, the horns are cut off for the deer.

The antlers on the deer head are a beautiful display. I can understand the feeling that everyone wants to see the antlers on the head of a sika deer.

However, if you really leave the horns, you may see not only the beautiful antlers, but also the scene where they fight each other with bayonets. This is still a bit bloody, is it acceptable to everyone? "

The tourists showed thoughtful expressions!

Indeed, what they want to see is the cuteness and beauty of the sika deer, rather than poking the horns into the heads of other animals, poking the eyeballs, and blood huffing around. Thinking about this is a bit scary.

Fang Ye finally joked: "The most important thing is that even if the two antlers can be sold for a few dollars, the breeding cost can't cover it."

The tourists couldn't help but laugh when they heard this sentence: "Haha, indeed!"

Even if other zoos explain this way, they may still wonder if the corners are cut for sale, but the environment and maintenance costs of this park are definitely more expensive than velvet antler.

Not only the antlers The horns of the rock sheep have also been polished and treated, and the tips of the horns have been polished bald.

There may be places like this that may make tourists have doubts, so you need to prepare the exhibition signs in advance and introduce the situation to the tourists. You can't wait for questions and then explain.

Many places in the zoo are actually counter-intuitive, and you need to understand the habits of animals to understand.

For example, in the monkey exhibition area, steel mesh is used as a barrier. Compared with the transparent glass curtain wall, it is of course beautiful, and it is more convenient to take pictures of animals.

People look uncomfortable, but for monkeys, the steel mesh increases the space utilization rate, expands their range of activities, and allows them to perform more climbing behaviors. On the contrary, animal welfare has increased.
