i have a zoo

Chapter 117
Looking at the full information interface on the lock screen of the phone, Qi Ming was a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why he had so much information in just one night without paying attention to the phone.

Because he was busy answering messages, he woke up half an hour later than usual.

After replying to the message, he also knew why his mobile phone was suddenly full of messages. It turned out that someone from the Jiangzhou government had written a report about the zoo.

"I don't know which reporter it is, I have to thank him next time!"

At this time, Qi Ming had already dressed and had breakfast and stood at the front window of the office. I don't know if it was because of the popular article or yesterday's interactive project. Today, there are many more tourists in the square at the entrance than usual.

Qi Ming is not going to go to the alpaca today, he temporarily transferred the former breeder Xiao Zhang from the African style area.

After the alpacas tasted the sweetness yesterday, they no longer resist interacting with the tourists, and there is no need for him to use the halo as a tool man there.

He plans to stay in the beast area today, and draw a picture of the future of the beast area for tourists.

After the opening of the park, Shi Chuncui took her four-year-old daughter and her husband to the left side of the road. The right side of the road has a conspicuous sign, and most of them followed the sign.

The family did not follow the common route of animals, but walked directly to the left after entering the door, mainly because there were too many people on the right.

After walking along the road for a while, the family walked to the beast area and in front of the wolf hall.

The entrance to the Wolf Hall is a cave made of many large irregular granite rocks.

The granite is old gray-yellow, as if it has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, continuous mountain wind erosion, and rain blowing to form its current appearance. In the cracks at the bottom of the stone, a dense green grass stretches out tenaciously.

The large rocks are layered on top of each other and spread out layer by layer, which can not only be used as a fence for the grass, but also as a stone chair for rest.

At this time, there was a family pushing a stroller, who seemed to be tired from walking, and took a rest here.

Some very primitive murals are carved on the large stones, with clear or blurred, deep or light black inscriptions, depicting scenes related to wolves.

Some wolves gathered together, howling to the sky; several wolves were hunting, chasing deer with horns on their heads; Licking each other's lips; there are even pictures of humans and wolves walking hand in hand.

Above the entrance of the cave, the word "Wolf Hall" is also written in ancient seal characters!

Even if tourists don't know this twisted font, they can still feel the wild and rough meaning in it.

Together, these elements embody the long relationship with wolves in human history.

This place looks like the residence of a primitive tribe tens of thousands of years ago. The primitive people living here observed wolf hunting, socializing, etc., and passed down these observations in the form of stone carvings.

When tourists step into the cave, it is like traveling through thousands of years ago, returning to the original state, and observing and understanding wolves from an ancient perspective.

The lamps in the cave are also in the shape of torches, and the light bulbs emit bright yellow light, shining on the rough and undulating stone walls in the cave.

The science popularization display board is placed under the torch, and the words and patterns on it can be clearly seen.

Two meters away, the light will become dim, of course, it is no problem to see the road under your feet.

The next torch is only 5 meters away, creating an atmosphere of a primitive cave.

Unknowingly, the tourists who stepped here became quiet.

The area of ​​the wolf hall is so large, it is still a mountainous terrain, with ups and downs, and there are various dense forests and rocks in the middle to block the line of sight.

At a tourist site, the area that can be seen is such a small area, a hillside with undulating slopes, or a dense forest, and the scene behind it is invisible at all.

Different visiting points, the overlapping area of ​​vision is very small!

Here you can see a meadow, here you can see a dense forest, here you can see a stream...

Because there are only five wolves in the wolf hall, and the venue is relatively large.

So it was a bit embarrassing after the wolf hall was built. Basically, only one or two of the visiting spots can see the wolf shadow.

Shi Chuncui's family came to the first visit point!

Here you can see a flat grassland with dense leaves swaying in the wind.

The dappled sunlight hit a wolf that looked a bit vicissitudes.

It seems to be a little lame, with its front paws slid forward, walking slowly on the deep green grass, exuding a lonely aura.

"Wow, it's a wolf!"

"The wolf is coming!"

Several tourists whispered in amazement.

There were not many people at the first visit point, and most of them went to places where they could see the waterfall.

That's where wolves are most active!

A wolf walked to a tree, lowered his head and sniffed the grass, looked left and right.

Then start going around in circles!
Going in circles over and over again.

Some tourists wondered: "What is this doing?"

Shi Chuncui's four-year-old daughter stared at the lame leg, frowned, and whispered, "Mom, what is this wolf doing?"

Shi Chuncui said uncertainly: "The big bad wolf may be exercising!"

The visiting points of their stations are carefully designed.

A layer of gravel is laid under the glass curtain wall to reduce the desire of wolves to approach.

Because the natural light outside is bright, but the glass curtain wall in the cave is sandwiched between two torches, and the yellow light is dim. Such a strong light ratio naturally forms a visual barrier.Not to tourists, but to wolves!

I must have had this kind of experience when I was a student. I can’t see anything from the playground to the classroom, but the scene below the playground can be clearly seen in the classroom.

Similarly, when the wolf is in the outdoor exhibition area, it is dark when looking at the glass curtain wall, and the tourists inside cannot be seen, so that it can show more natural behavior.

In other exhibition halls of the zoo, there are actually such applications of light to reduce the sight pressure of tourists on animals, but the wolf hall uses the atmosphere of the cave to maximize the light barrier.

I saw the circling wolf circling around and around in place, looking at the grass under its feet, and slowly lying down on its side.

It's not completely still, the nose is still moving slightly up and down.

If the exhibition area does not have a rich environment, it is just a bare open space, and the wolf that does not fit in the pack stays alone in the corner, and it may not be able to stop after walking around, it will look weird and become stereotyped. Behavior.

Shi Chuncui's family continued to move forward, along the dim corridor, and came to the next viewing point.

The waterfall running upstream has turned into a gurgling stream after a tortuous flow.

After climbing over the last stone steps, a short clear water waterfall is formed, which converges into a calm pool here.

With light steps, a wolf appeared on the bank of the stream!
The glass curtain wall here is much wider, and there are quite a lot of tourists!

Seeing the wolf approaching, there was a burst of exclamation.

"Look, wolf!"

"Mama, it's a wolf!"

On the opposite side of the bank were low, flat rocks about as high as a wolf.

The black fur on the back of this wolf is thicker. Standing on the stone and looking at it, it looks young and confident, with a handsome appearance!

Then jumped onto the grass by the pool!
In the pool, a piece of sparse white reed swayed with the wind, which did not affect people's observation of the wolf's figure, but added a sense of graceful beauty.

The black-backed figure moved behind the reeds, and came to a protruding corner island by the pool. He lowered his head and drank the water.

The wolf's shadow was reflected in the water, blurred by the ripples from drinking.

The tourists commented enthusiastically: "Hey, this wolf's mental state is really different!"

"That's right, the wolves I saw before were all in small concrete cages, lying on the ground limply, barking without responding."

"In such a rich environment, there are woods, stones, and even such a small stream. It's the same as living in the wild. Can the mental state be compared with that raised in a cage?"

"To be honest, this creek is outrageous. This wolf is not a particularly precious animal. Does it need such a good environment? I see that other zoos don't even treat tigers like this. Isn't it a bit wasteful. "

"But it looks really cool, what's the difference between that kind of cement cage and a dog."

"Indeed, I'm not interested at all. I never saw wolves seriously when I went to the zoo before."

"Before today's visit, who told me that the wolves in the zoo lived in such an environment, I absolutely can't imagine it, and I still laugh at his whimsy."

"Oh oh oh, the wolf ran away!"

There are many natural-looking lodging cross-logs with tree branches on the edge of the pool, scattered on the stones by the edge of the pool, and some of them straddle both sides of the stream, like single-plank bridges.

A wolf drank a few sips of water, didn't stay here for long, lifted its head, walked leisurely on the rocks under the pool, stepped on a single-plank bridge, and soon disappeared into a forest behind.

But it's gone, and there are other wolves coming!

Happy walked into the pool slowly from the place where he was lying down just now, smelling and sniffing the crossbars and the stones along the bank, exploring everything around him.

The water gradually submerged the soles of the feet and the legs, and then the wool scratched its claws and swam happily in the water.

Swimming to the center of the pool, I glanced at the glass curtain wall, as if I found something, I swam over curiously.

Set foot on the shore, and then found the tourists behind!
Eyes widened, mouth grinning, very shocked, doubting the wolf's appearance.

d(?д??)
Nani, why are there so many humans hiding behind this?
Did they all see what I did just now?What should I do now?
The tourists smiled and waved to it: "Hey! Wolf!"

"Ma Ma, look, the wolf is watching us too!"

"Yeah, baby, say hello to it?"

Shi Chuncui's four-year-old daughter excitedly said: "Wow, this wolf looks so cute!"

Hearing her daughter's words, Shi Chuncui quickly took out her phone and took a picture of it!
Happy seemed a little nervous and overwhelmed seeing people greet him.

He quickly lowered his head, pretending that he didn't see anything, and then turned his head to the outside as if nothing had happened.

No longer as cheerful and casual as before, every move is very slow, full of caution.

Jump into the pool, paw paws and swim to the distance.

After separating the reeds and going ashore, the distance was far away, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then with a light jump, he jumped onto the rock above, and ran away without a trace in a flash, disappearing from the sight of tourists.

Wolves keep coming and running away!

Tourists can't take their eyes off it. The experience of seeing wolves here today will definitely refresh their impression of wolves!
When Shi Chuncui passed by the explaining platform, he took a careful look: "Siberian plain wolves have streamlined bodies and amazing endurance. It can be said that they were born for long-distance running. Their shoulders are as wide as their hips, which means that their four long legs can run in the distance. Effortlessly swaying smoothly on a flat surface, they can run at 60 km/h for 8 km. In the final stages of catching prey, they can reach speeds of 72 km/h."

It is accompanied by a picture of a wolf running at full strength!

The whole wolf is flying in the air, its eyes are fixed on the front, its front and rear feet seem to meet almost at the same point, and its tail floats behind it like a flag!
At a glance, people can feel what a streamlined body is and what a wind-like speed is.

Her four-year-old daughter asked with some doubts: "Ma Ma, 72 kilometers per hour, how many meters per second?"

Shi Chuncui smiled and said: "Well... 20 meters per second, that's the kind of very fast, uh." Later, Shi Chuncui didn't know how to explain this to a four-year-old child, so he could only perfunctory.

The family continued to move forward, and what came into view was a green mountain forest and trees, the cage net was hidden behind the natural decoration, and the railings on the roadside were also very primitive and rough firewood and stones.

Turned a corner and came to the next visit point!

The glass curtain wall here is embedded in a stone wall, and a grass shed built with dead branches and logs is built here, which can reduce the reflection of the glass from sunlight and also play a role in keeping out the rain.

As far as the eye can see, it is a curved waterfall!

The waterfall is about ten meters high, like a beautiful white satin pouring down from the top of the mountain, hitting the rocks below, the water drops splashed high, shining in the sunlight, like crystal clear pearls .

The falling torrent forms a rushing clear stream, passes through the single-plank bridge-like volts, passes through the uneven and steep stone steps, and jumps down layer by layer like step-by-step.

Although the waterfall is not too high, but after such a landscaping, the momentum is still very strong!

The wolves also come alive with waterfalls and rapids!
A larger wolf and another smaller gray wolf were playing and chasing one after the other just under the waterfall.

The big wolf is tall and powerful, while the other gray wolf is agile and light, with a nimble figure!

Not only the actions are intimate, but also the eyes that occasionally look at each other are full of tenderness, obviously deep feelings.

It was David and his consort, Rayleigh!
Ruili is the only female wolf in this pack, and she is also the well-deserved queen!
