Chapter 630: Recording Love Songs

When many people mention a zoo, the first animals that come to mind are probably lions, zebras, hippos, giraffes, kangaroos, koalas, penguins, and other foreign animals.

It's not that displaying foreign animals is bad, but before displaying foreign animals, we should first display our native animals well.

For example, many visitors initially do not know about red pandas and confuse them with raccoons, which is a horrifying situation.

Then there are snow leopards. Before being publicized, many visitors just thought they were leopards with white fur, nothing special. Pika is a cat with a fatter face and weird looks, desert cats are domestic cats that look fierce, and there doesn't seem to be much difference between green peacocks and blue peacocks.

There are so many rare native animals, and people are unaware of their endangered situation. They don't realize that these animals could disappear at any time, and if they're not protected, they will never be seen again. It's quite sad to see them and then just walk away.

It's not that these animals don't have the charm of lions and giraffes, but the resources of the zoo have not been tilted towards native animals.

A good zoo should first introduce itself to the world and then introduce the world to its visitors.

The standard of a good zoo has never been how many rare and unseen animals it houses. Paying attention to nature and ecological protection is the ultimate goal of a zoo.

So Fang Ye didn't plan to apply to join the World Zoo Association before. It's not too late to join after a few more years of development.

Anyway, you don't need to join the association. The animals that can be introduced and purchased are already very rich. There are also frogs and dragonflies that don't need to be specifically introduced. If you want to display them, you can display them beautifully.

But it's also nice to have a "membership certificate" as a task reward.

Having more star animals can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm to visit the zoo.

Such as the world's largest turtle, the Galapagos tortoise, cute koalas, can all be considered for introduction.

In the blink of an eye, many ideas emerged in his mind.

But even without rewards, he would do his best to help.

For the skywalking gibbons, which only have 150 left in the wild, having one more couple means an extra bit of hope for the continuation of a species.

He readily replied: "Sure, my zoo is quite large, welcome to record the songs of the gibbons. You can come at any time, after recording, I'll treat you to a hot spring, no problem!"

Fan Peng was initially worried. He had heard that the Linhai Zoo was a private zoo, run by a rich second-generation for fun. He wondered what would happen if Fang Ye refused, after all, they were not very familiar and had never interacted before. In other zoos, there are no single male gibbons that can sing courtship songs.

He didn't expect such a quick and enthusiastic agreement!

He immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Director Fang!"

Fang Ye said: "No problem, I enjoy helping those who protect wild animals the most. You are all great heroes."

Upon hearing this, Fan Peng was even a bit teary-eyed. He replied: "Okay, then we will come as soon as possible..."

Two days later, at 7 am in the morning, two weary figures appeared at the entrance of the zoo.

Fang Ye had received the message and was already waiting at the entrance.

Fan Peng looked like he often did research work in the wild. He was wearing a storm jacket and naturally had a tough and indomitable temperament.

The other person wore black-rimmed glasses, looked very scholarly, and seemed like a teacher. He was carrying a large suitcase, and it was unknown what was inside.

Fang Ye stepped forward and shook hands respectfully: "Hello, Professor Fan!"

"Director Fang, it's too kind of you to take the time to come and meet us personally!"

Fang Ye smiled: "It's nothing, I usually have free time."

He looked at the other person: "And you are..."

"Hello, Director Fang, my name is Li Xing, an independent music producer!"

Li Xing introduced himself proactively, and Fang Ye also shook hands with a friendly smile: "Hello, Professor Li!"

Fan Peng said: "Professor Li is a very experienced musician! He will be in charge of the recording work."

They had previously recorded the song of the single male gibbon and played it for the female gibbon. However, the female gibbon didn't have any special reaction after listening.

Because the meaning of the song might include declarations of territory, the discovery of enemies, whether they are happy or not, or wanting to sleep, wanting to defecate, seeing a red panda, seeing a tangerine, who knows what the gibbons are singing.

Occasionally recording a segment, the randomness is too great.

This is also the reason why they came to the zoo to find an alternative object.

Fang Ye didn't bother with too much politeness and thought for a moment: "Let's go and record the gibbons' songs first! They are more active in the early morning."

"Okay!"

Fang Ye led the way, walking across the plaza, and the white pigeons fluttered up.

Fan Peng and Li Xing followed, looking around curiously and surprised as they walked through the zoo.

The environment of this zoo feels quite good!

Li Xing, looking at the huge bird's nest-like building on the side of the road, pointed and asked curiously: "Director Fang, what is this?"

Fang Ye smiled and said: "Oh, this is our Tropical Rainforest Bird Pavilion! By the way, we also keep green peacocks inside! Real green peacocks, not mixed breeds."

Fan Peng's eyes widened in surprise: "Green peacocks!?"

He had never encountered green peacocks in the wild for so many years.

Although he works on researching gibbons, he also conducted a survey on the distribution of green peacocks based on visits and infrared cameras, but the survey did not collect any clues, and the habitat was seriously disturbed.

He didn't expect that there would be real green peacocks in the Linhai Zoo.

Suddenly, he remembered something a friend had told him before: "Previously, green peacocks were returned to the country and went to your zoo, right?"

The corner of Fang Ye's mouth couldn't help but curl up, admitting: "There should be no other zoos, and recently a small green peacock has hatched."

Fan Peng was almost unable to walk, looking at the bird pavilion, he couldn't wait to visit it!

In the end, he exerted great willpower to restrain himself: "Let's go and record the gibbons' songs first, and then come back here after we're done."

Li Xing, who usually pays a lot of attention to animals and the environment and has even recorded songs with natural sounds, wouldn't have participated in the recording of the gibbons' love songs otherwise.

He also looked forward to it: "I heard about the green peacock case and knew about the green peacock! I've always wanted to see it."

When they arrived at the gibbon exhibit.

"Oh~~~ Oh~~~ Ah oh ah oh ah oh~~"

The two brothers, Sunny and Sunshine, were currently climbing and moving around the exhibit, while singing loudly.

The ethereal and melodious song gradually became more urgent, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

Fan Peng was surprised: "They're very active!"

Although gibbons are more active in singing in the morning, they are generally quieter in the zoo than in the wild and are not so willing to express themselves.
