Chapter 118 Tour Completed
After seeing a couple of Pingyuanwolves who were in love with each other, Shi Chuncui and his family continued to walk back.

They found that they could see not only a sandy field but also a cave on the upstream flank when they bypassed the visit point just now.

This cave allows the wolves to keep warm, shelter from the rain, and rest. The entrance of the cave is slightly biased towards the glass curtain wall, so that visitors can see the situation near the entrance.It seemed that there were no wolves in it at this time.

Another point of visit is a hidden peephole at a very low position, marked with a sign of "Wolf's Lair".

The opposite is the inside of the cave!

With the way of slit viewing, tourists can squat down to get a glimpse of the situation in the wolf den.

However, the peephole is extremely small, and can only accommodate two or three people to observe at the same time.

The peephole is in the corner of the wolf's den, away from light, and uses a one-way glass, which can only be seen from the viewing point.

The glass blocks out light, smell and sound, unless it is deliberately exposed and the glass is patted, otherwise the wolf will not find it.

Shi Chuncui and her husband pulled their daughter behind them, squatted down, peeped across, and opened their eyes wide.

There is actually a wolf in the wolf den!

The family subconsciously closed their mouths, and even their breathing slowed down.

The wolf stood so close that if there was no glass blocking it, it would be within reach.

At such a close distance, every hair can be seen clearly!
Its tail is drooped, and its posture is relaxed and natural.

At this moment, he was looking out in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two quietly watched the wolf for a while, Shi Chuncui's husband Li Du swallowed his saliva, and whispered nervously: "This is the first time I have seen a wolf from such a close distance!"

Shi Chuncui's heart was also pounding, blood rushed to the top of his head, his face was a little flushed, feeling very excited, his voice softened a little quickly: "Can it find us?"

"I don't know, maybe I can't? By the way, hurry up and take a photo!" Li Du restrained his panic and said in a calm tone.

After a while, the two stood up and exchanged excited glances.

It is so satisfying to see wolves at such a close distance!
The wolf pavilion creates a primitive wild atmosphere from the activity exhibition area and the tourist viewing area, so that tourists feel that living in this environment is a real wild wolf!
They play, wade, run and jump!
The wolf is the master here!

And I just inadvertently broke into the place where they lived.

To be able to peek into the most secret cave life of wolves at close range, this kind of intense and exciting feeling can never be brought by a wolf who stays in a cement cage and can see everything in a glance.

After leaving here, we walked for a while, and in front of us was a visit point similar to a castle watchtower.

It is located on a high place, with a wide view, and you can enjoy the side view of the waterfall. There are also several telescopes on the side of the railing, and there are people using them at this time. The camera turns to the direction of the waterfall, watching with relish.

It seems to be a zoologist living in a mysterious tower in the forest, observing animals with a telescope and taking research notes!

Although it is the same scenic spot, but the perspective is different, the distance is different, and the feeling it brings is completely different!

It is also very lively here, and there are no fewer tourists than the visiting spots facing the waterfall.

At this time, Qi Ming was explaining something to a tourist here.

A middle-aged man in his 40s looked towards the waterfall. The lively figure of the wolf frowned slightly and asked Qi Ming, "What are these wolves doing?"

On his hand was a dark gold Rolex watch that looked expensive. His eyes were firm and he had a strong idea. He seemed to be a wealthy boss.

Qi Ming smiled and said, "They are playing."

"Can wolves play?" The boss man looked unbelievable.

What he believes in in the mall is the wolf spirit, the company talks about the wolf culture, and the team he formed is also a wolf team. He claims to have a deep research on wolves!
Today I just want to meet the real wolf and learn some wolf spirit from it.

In the understanding of the boss man, the character of the wolf is wild, cruel, greedy, and tyrannical!
The so-called wolf culture is to use the wolf character in business.

Be greedy for your career, and fight endlessly; for the difficulties in your work, you must ruthlessly eliminate them one by one;In the face of adversity, he is relentless in all difficulties, leaving a little bit of kindness.

And the discipline of the wolf, the obedience of the wolf, the team spirit of the wolf...

He never thought that such a wild, cruel and greedy animal would still play?
Qi Ming was amused: "Of course the wolves can play! You can see that they not only play, but also have fun!"

The boss is even more entangled!Is there something wrong with the wolf in my impression?
A tourist next to him couldn't help but swear: "I read in books that animals are not playing, but exercising themselves. The process of chasing these wolves is actually exercising their physical fitness!"

Qi Ming thought for a while: "This kind of statement is actually not accurate, it denies that animals have emotions and pleasure, and thinks that all their behaviors are survival and instinctive needs.

Just like when we study, is learning to increase knowledge and make ourselves better, or to find a decent job and earn more money?Not contradictory, right.It would be a bit too utilitarian to emphasize the latter alone.

Why do animals play?In fact, the main reason is to be happy, but in this process, it also plays a role in learning skills, exercising, practicing social skills, learning to use perception skills, and so on.

The higher the level of animals, the more common the play behavior is, and the types of play are also varied.

For example, when a wolf cub is playing with his companions, he finds that if he does not follow the rules, he may be injured.If your movements are too rough and too strong, you may hurt your partner, and the other party will not want to play.

They have accumulated combat experience in advance through play, learned how to get along with other wolves, and how to control the strength of their bite.

While adult wolves are playing, they have exercised their ability to work as a team, and their feelings for each other have deepened, and they will be more tacit when hunting. Wolves who are unwilling to play with other wolves can count on how cooperative they are in hunting. ?

Therefore, they will be isolated by other members of the wolf pack and can only leave the wolf pack. It must be very difficult for a wolf to live and hunt.

Of course, these wolves of ours are not familiar with them yet, and they are not considered a pack of wolves. They are basically exploring alone, and the two with a better relationship play together. "

Everyone was stunned: "So that's how it is."

The boss man also praised: "Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books!"

Today he has a new understanding of wolves.

Another tourist asked curiously: "The animals in the circus can ride bicycles and jump through fire hoops. Aren't their playing skills very high?"

Qi Ming shook his head and said, "The circus is not called playing. Playing is an expression of the nature of animals. They only do it when they like to do it, and the animals in the circus are trained to be that way by means of punishment. It is not a spontaneous behavior of animals. , this kind of 'play' is not only unhappy, but also very painful."

Some tourists expressed approval: "I have never seen such a free, running and jumping wolf. It is very pleasant to watch. This is much less interesting than any circus performance."

After the tourists finished asking questions, Qi Ming took a break and wandered around the Wolf House. He also met Shi Chuncui's family, but there was no interaction, just a simple encounter.

Shi Chuncui's family came to the edge of the high observation point.

Looking at the open scenery below, facing the strong wind blowing, the tips of the hair fluttering to the back of the head, I feel infinitely refreshed!
This observation point is about five meters high, but there is no need to worry about tourists condescendingly feeding, because the main venue for wolves' activities is not here.

Shi Chuncui found that the scenery on the opposite side was a little familiar. Isn't that the pool when we came here?

Curiosity arose in my heart, where is the glass curtain wall they visited before?
It turned out that a clump of plants was cleverly placed in the middle of the high observation point and the water pool viewing point, so that tourists on both sides could not see each other.However, if you have a target and observe carefully, you can still find it, and you can faintly see the figure shaking inside.

Then I felt funny again: "Honey, look there!"

Li Du looked along and couldn't help laughing out loud!

It turned out that at the previous visit point, tourists were still looking for signs of wolves at a loss, but they didn't know that a wolf was standing on the rock above their heads.If you jump down at this time, you will definitely startle the tourists.

Suddenly, the tourists on the high observation point became commotion!

"The wolf is coming this way!"

"The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming!"

David and Ruili playfully ran to this side, and Happy, a single wolf, oh no single dog, also followed them. They walked lightly through the forest, jumped over the stream, and ran down the hillside, their fur in the sun. Shine brightly.

"Wow!"

"So beautiful!"

The tourists were shocked by this beautiful scene and let out a burst of exclamation!
The corner of Qi Ming's mouth curled up into a smile, and he made a horn with his hand, "Aww—" imitating the sound of a wolf howling.

David and Ruili are on the hillside, looking up towards the observation tower.

"Ouch-"

There was a real howl of a wolf, clearer and clearer, as if the bright and cold moonlight was falling from the sky.

In an instant, all the tourists were quiet.

Just as the first howl was about to fall, there was another deep and majestic howl of a wolf, and the sound became louder and louder, reaching straight into the sky!

Such a recognizable majestic howl, of course, came from David.

The lame lying on the grass and resting, his ears trembled, and he stood up suddenly from the ground, his eyes were piercing.

Then, Happy couldn't help raising his head, and howled too!
"Wow woof woof"

Even the other two wolves who were playing were howling.

Every wolf is fully involved, singing its own emotions and its own wolf life.

No one directs the chorus, but it doesn't sound messy at all. Instead, it has a wild and natural beauty that hits the soul directly.

The wolves howl entangled and chased, with the breeze blowing across the grass, the treetops, the lake, resounding in every corner, the notes flickered under the sun, hovering endlessly in the clouds!
In this open-air theater, tourists listened to the chorus of wolves!

After a while, the chorus of the wolves gradually stopped, and there was a loud "huh" sound. It turned out that the tourists exhaled at the same time.

I was so engrossed in listening to it just now, I forgot to take a big breath!

Then they exchanged excitedly: "Fuck, this is the first time I've heard a wolf howl!"

When I got excited, I started to swear: "Yeah, it's so fucking shocking! When the first sound rang, I got goosebumps!"

"To be honest, hearing these wolves howl, shock is one aspect, and there is also a kind of unstoppable fear! My legs are a little weak. Oh shit, it's numb, brother help me quickly .”

"Maybe this is passed down in the genes, the awe of beasts and nature!"

Shi Chuncui stretched out his arm, and said eagerly: "Li Du, look, I have goosebumps all over my arms! Wow."

Li Du turned around, grabbed his collar and said not to be outdone, "Look at the hair on my back, it's still standing up!"

Visitors excitedly talk about feelings!

The boss, who believed in wolf culture, also hurriedly asked Qi Ming at this time: "Director, what do these wolves' howls mean? Didn't they say that wolves howl on the night of the full moon?"

Qi Ming said with a smile: "Wolves howl at any time, not only on the night of the full moon. Their howls are also very meaningful. We humans may not be able to fully understand them. We can only study the meaning on specific occasions.

Like howling on a full moon night, it may be that the moon in the sky is brighter, which is convenient for hunting. The howling of wolves boosts morale a few times, and it is used for pre-war mobilization. In fact, they usually howl before hunting.

Howling can also help them communicate with each other. The sound of wolves can spread thousands of meters away in the wilderness, helping members of the wolf pack to confirm each other's location and guide them to gather together, especially when they are separated or hunted in small groups. .

If you find other packs of wolves appearing near your home, the howling sound is to declare the territory, which means that there are already wolves living here. If you dare to come in, you are ready to fight.

There are also howls like the one just now, which have no special meaning, just singing happily to enhance their relationship.Some wolf families sing in chorus every morning. "

The boss man sighed: "I thought I knew a lot about wolves, but now I find that there are still many gaps between these wolves and the wolves I imagined! Today is really an eye-opener."

He made a decision in his mind that he would come to the zoo for a visit if he had nothing to do in the future, and he could even bring his employees here to play, do team building, watch wolves together, and learn the real wolf spirit!
……

After listening to the howling of the wolves, Shi Chuncui and her husband Li Du walked out of the wolf hall slowly, holding their daughter's hand with a satisfied expression.

She felt that she did not make a mistake in bringing her daughter to this zoo today. The shock of the first venue was already worth the price of admission.

Shi Chuncui looked at her phone, and was surprised to find that she had been visiting this wolf house for more than an hour, and she didn't feel anything at all!

"Looking at the road sign, it seems that the next area is called the African style area?"
