i have a zoo

Chapter 119 Ding

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Qi Ming arrived at the Elephant House on time, and he acted as a tour guide in the African style area and the beast area throughout the morning.

Although an explanation platform has been installed next to the habitat, many tourists still choose to consult staff like him.

Qi Ming thinks that it has something to do with the fact that he took the initiative to introduce himself to a few people at the beginning, and he still wears the badge of the zoo, which may make tourists think that he is arranged by the zoo to give explanations to tourists.

This caused him to be busy all morning, and he drank two large bottles of two liters of woodcutter spring.

During lunch, Qi Ming went to the warehouse of the zoo to get a box of silver throat lozenges. If he hadn't taken some silver throat lozenges, he felt that he might not be able to speak in the afternoon.

Due to the warm-up done yesterday, many more people came to the Elephant House this afternoon than before.

"Huh! What a coincidence, Old Zhao, you came here today." A man wearing a peaked cap standing by the railing was looking around when he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Haha, didn't you see an article about this zoo in Moments yesterday? Thinking of being free today, I happened to bring my wife and children here."

The person called Lao Zhao walked to the acquaintance with his wife and children and began to negotiate.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I also saw that article yesterday and thought of bringing my child here to read it today."

"I didn't see that article, so I really didn't know that Jiangzhou actually has a zoo. After the Jiangzhou Zoo collapsed a long time ago, I always thought that Jiangzhou didn't have a zoo."

"I took a photo with my son in the alpaca house in front of me this morning. Did you take a photo with your daughter there?" Lao Zhao raised his mobile phone and said to his friend Lao Xiong.

"It must have been filmed, it took a long time to film the team!" Old Xiong couldn't help showing a wry smile when he thought of the scene of queuing just now.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Qi Ming felt that he really awarded the author an animal friend badge to thank him for the traffic he brought to his zoo.

Just when the two were chatting happily, the park's radio rang:
Dear tourists, the Elephant House in the Meng Beast District is about to start pedicures for elephants. Visitors who are interested in watching, please go to the Elephant House as soon as possible!
After hearing the broadcast, they didn't continue chatting. Instead, he looked into the venue expectantly.

Doudou followed Pharaoh and began to enter the field.

Old Wang held a slender target stick, pointed at Doudou's left foot, and then pointed at the railing!
Having had the pedicure experience yesterday, the clever Doudou cooperatively lifted the big foot to the fence, waiting for Lao Wang to trim its toenails.

Seeing Doudou put his feet on the railing, Pharaoh clicked the clicker, and at the same time threw a piece of apple into Doudou's mouth.

Doudou picked up the apples with his nose and ate them. Pharaoh also took a long ruler-shaped scorpion and filed them on Doudou's toes.

Lao Zhao's daughter pointed at the elephant in amazement: "Wow, Daddy's elephant is so good!"

"As soon as the breeder pointed it out, the elephant lifted its feet up!"

"This toe is like a big steamed bun. One toe is bigger than my fist."

"What if it hurts, will you kick someone angrily? I feel that this job is still a bit dangerous!"

"Picture the toenails, it will walk more comfortably, can you be angry with your own good things! Look at it so obedient."

"It's too human, knowing what's good for it, it won't mess around!"

"Elephants are really smart!"

The tourists were afraid of disturbing Lao Wang's work, and their voices were relatively quiet, but they all squeezed their heads to look ahead, took pictures by the way, and observed the elephant's soles.

Some tourists think that there are too many people in the elephant house, but instead come to the African style area,
Seeing the environment here, we were dumbfounded again!
The viewing surface here also uses trench barriers, and there is no barrier of metal mesh railings in front.

Looking beyond the bushes, there is an extremely vast grassland ahead.

The most important thing is that on the slope of the grassland, there is a huge rock with a towering head, which looks very spectacular!
The surface of the giant rock is rough and undulating, with a series of gullies, and it feels like it has been tempered by wind and rain for thousands of years.

It looks like an unpretentious epee stuck obliquely in the ground, and like a shipwreck in the sea, stuck in the sand, with its bow pointing straight at the blue sky!

The undulating mountains in the distance, the blue sky, and the rows of flake-like white clouds serve as the background, and the bright sunlight shines down, coating the corners of the boulder's head facing the sun with a beautiful layer of golden brilliance.

"Fuck! Fuck, bum, bum!!!"

"The animation is reflected in reality? Isn't this the Glory Stone in "The Lion King"!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Now there is only a lion missing! No, it's a family of lions!"

The tourists recognized it at a glance. This huge rock was the glory stone in the cartoon "The Lion King" they were very familiar with. Their eyes widened and they all excitedly sent out barrage!

"Hehe." A young tourist chanted in a slow and solemn voice: "On the African savannah, a round of red sun is rising, covering the tall Mount Kilimanjaro with a golden veil.

All the animals flocked to the same place - the Pride Stone, excitedly awaiting the announcement of a big news: their king Mufasa will welcome his newborn.

The wizard Rafiki, an old mandrill full of wisdom, baptizes the little prince Simba.He picked up a handful of fine sand, sprinkled it on the head of the little prince Simba, lifted it to the top of the Glory Stone, and lifted it high.

Immediately, all the animals cheered and jumped up, celebrating the birth of the future ruler of the Lion Kingdom! "

"We have always ruled this grassland with wisdom and strength, and I also believe that you will use your mighty power carefully. One day, my life will come to an end, and you will be crowned king."

The young man held up the mobile phone in front of him, and said happily: "Old men, you now have pictures of the things I read!"

It turned out that this young man turned out to be an anchor, no wonder he was able to make so many things out.

"Famous scene, my goosebumps are getting up!"

"Looking at this picture, I feel like the bgm is about to sound."

"Ah~ My neck hurts, Dad, Chihuahua~"

I have to say that the famous scene of the Glory Stone has been restored in the zoo, which is really shocking.

With the rewards from netizens, the popularity of the live broadcast room is also rising, and the number of viewers is increasing rapidly!
Many netizens came in at once, and what they saw was the magnificent Glory Stone, and they were shocked: "Shocked, Glory Stone!"

"Where is this place, the Lion King is going to make a live-action movie?"

"Haha, this is actually the Lion House of Jiangzhou Jiajia Zoo!"

"Hey, when did the zoo become so beautiful?"

Qi Ming is admiring the scenery through the system in his mind, and he is also very satisfied!
He had seen his nails trimmed once yesterday, so he was doing two things.

When he was conceiving and designing the Lion Pavilion, the first thing he thought of was the Glory Stone in The Lion King.

Simba the Lion stands on the top of the Pride Stone, facing the rising sun, his mane is constantly swaying by the strong wind blowing on his face.

Looking down at his territory, great pride arose in his heart.

Opening his bloody mouth wide, he let out an astonishingly majestic roar, which spread far and wide in all directions.

Thinking about this scene is exciting!

Seeing the rewards from netizens, the little anchor quickly cupped his hands: "Hey, thank you for your support! You don't need to spend so much money to reward. If you like Jiajia Zoo, just follow it. I will take you around the zoo every week. Let's go!"

Some netizens regretted: "Although it is very beautiful, this glory stone is still not fully restored. There is a mountain much higher than that behind it."

"Ah, I feel that there is not enough space."

The host saw this barrage and explained with a smile: "I saw this problem on the commentary platform over there just now. In the original animation, there is indeed a towering mountain behind, but the space in the zoo is limited. Find a balance between tourists and animals.

Such a slanted glory stone can be climbed by a lion to overlook the territory and tourists. It is equivalent to a hillside, and it is also quite beautiful as a landscape for tourists to appreciate.

If you come to a higher and steeper mountain, the lions can't climb it, and they can only show it to tourists, which reduces the space for the lions to move.

This kind of trench barrier is also the same reason. Although the obstruction without railings looks cool, it takes up too much space and can only be applied in a small amount. "

After listening to the anchor's explanation, netizens also expressed their understanding.

"Although such a Glory Stone is a bit small, I saw the proportion of the lion and the Glory Stone in the animation. The stone leaning in front is estimated to be 40 meters high, and the length is 80 meters. The mountain behind is at least 200 meters high. .

If you really want to build such a mountain, not only is there not enough space, but it also feels like a waste of money!I don't know how much stone will be consumed. "

"Indeed, I think this kind of scenery is very good!"

"The original version of the Glory Stone plus the mountain peak needs at least tens of thousands of square meters of space in the park. It seems that the proportions will be more harmonious. Otherwise, a single Glory Stone will fill the exhibition area."

"It's better to say it the other way around. The area of ​​the Glory Stone is large enough to build a zoo on it."

"By the way, how big is the mini Glory Stone in the park? Is there any boss to check it out visually?"

"Hmm... I feel like the top is ten meters above the ground?"

Seeing the guesses of the netizens, the anchor smiled and said, "You guys guessed pretty well, I just said on the introduction sign that the length of this Glory Stone is 30 meters, the width is 7 meters, and the distance from the top to the ground is 10 meters! "

The Glory Stone is located on a slowly rising slope. There is a solid big stone under the second half of it. Behind it is a gentle slope made of a large area of ​​bare rock. Some irregular rocks are scattered in it. Vigorous shrubs and weeds grow tenaciously from between the stone cracks.

The Glory Stone is the core attraction of the Lion Hall, but it is not the only view.

Netizens were all attracted by the Glory Stone just now. After watching the Glory Stone, their eyes moved to other areas of the exhibition area.

The overall impression is openness!
Unlike the Wolf Pavilion, where various trees are planted, the forest area is also an important part.

In addition to the vast green grassland, various rocks of light yellow and light gray, the dry yellow sand land exposed on the surface, and sparse trees.

Create a typical arid climate of the East African savannah environment atmosphere!
There are only two kinds of tallest and most conspicuous trees, the acacia tree with a height of seven or eight meters and the sturdy baobab tree with a height of more than ten meters. In addition, the plants in the exhibition area include hackberry, black locust, sand wattle, sand jujube, and strange willow , miscanthus, etc.

Miscanthus is a common weed in the tropics. Now it is also planted as an ornamental plant. The plant is Chinese Miscanthus in the park. The height of the plant is one to two meters, and the crown width is more than one meter. The inflorescences are light red when they first bloom, and turn silvery when they dry up. White, flowering period from August to October, a bit like reeds growing on the ground.

Sparse trees cannot be used as shelters, so dense weeds are needed instead, where lions can usually hide and observe the environment.

As the breeze blows, a large expanse of Miscanthus undulates rhythmically like ocean waves from far to near, and the silver-white tassels are swaying, which looks extremely beautiful under the sunlight.

Of course, these miscanthus are only planted in some areas, and ordinary grasses are planted in other places.Otherwise, the entire grassland would be covered with tall and dense Miscanthus grass, and the lion would be able to see only the movement of the grass but not the shadow of the beast as it walked through it.

Netizens looked at the environment and couldn't help admiring: "Wow, what a beautiful grassland!"

"Hey, anchor, I know the baobab tree, what kind of tree is that umbrella-like tree?"

"Same question! When I watched "The Lion King", I was very impressed with this kind of tree! But I never knew what it was called."

"The crown of the tree is so wide! The diameter of the stretched tree looks like ten meters?"

"I saw it in an African documentary. I feel that when I think of the African savannah, besides lions and elephants, this kind of tree comes to my mind."

The anchor doesn’t even need to look at the exhibition area to know what the netizens are talking about. After all, being an anchor is not an easy task. He said with a smile: “This kind of tree is called the Acacia tree, and the one planted in our exhibition area is the umbrella thorn tree. Acacia!

You can tell by the name, it looks like an umbrella, with spikes growing on it, it can be said to be the most beautiful tree in Africa.

It is also one of the favorite foods of African vegetarian animals. It can be said that they are a pair of happy friends with giraffes. In the future, the introduction of giraffes can tell you the story between them. "

"Anchor, by the way, why isn't the grass in the exhibition area yellow?"

"That's right. I saw in the documentary that the grass on the grasslands in Africa is all yellow. Don't get some of that kind of grass to plant in the park."

The little anchor scratched his head: "The grass in the African grasslands is not always yellow. It is green in the rainy season, and it turns yellow in the dry season when the weather is dry. Our grass will turn yellow when it dries up."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why do you have the impression of yellow grass? It should be because the documentary was filmed in the dry season.

The ground is too muddy during the rainy season, and the dry road has turned into mud, and the tires are stuck in it and cannot walk.Moreover, the grassland grows too vigorously during the rainy season, and it is not easy to shoot animals hiding in the grass.

The climate here in Jiangzhou is humid, and the temperature in winter is ten degrees above zero. Normal maintenance of the lawn will not turn yellow.Of course, our exhibition area in Africa does not water in autumn and winter, so it should be able to create a period of withering and yellowing. "

"So it is!"

Go ahead and walk through a slightly curved route. The next point to visit is also the trench barrier. Here you can enjoy the scenery of the grassland from another angle. The corner of the Glory Stone points to this side.

Here you can also see a water pool about [-] square meters in front of you. The water pool is surrounded by shallow grassland, not far away is dense miscanthus, and there is a luxuriant umbrella thorn acacia tree.

At the previous visit point, the view was blocked by the glory stone and pampas grass, so the existence of the water pool could not be seen.

The Glory Stone is not only a beautiful scenic spot in the exhibition area, but also naturally has the function of visual barrier!

When the weather is hot, lions can come to the water to drink and rest. The canopy of the acacia tree provides shade, and the water takes away the heat. It should be very pleasant to rest near here.

After watching the live broadcast in Africa, Qi Ming turned his mind back to the elephant house, waiting for the progress of the process.

When Lao Wang started to pack his tools, Qi Ming finally heard a pleasant jingle in his mind!
