I Have a Safari Park

It will be launched at 12:00 noon, the time may be a little delayed, but it will be released anyway.

When it's finally time to hit the shelves, let's say a few sincere comments.

As I said before, the zoo thought it was good to watch the video of the Crimea Safari Park at station B at that time, and then I liked animals, so I started to write about this topic.

However, I have never been to the zoo at all. The last time I went to Beijing was when I was in elementary school. I went to the Beijing Zoo with my mother, my uncle, and others. The aquarium seemed to have to buy another ticket. I can't remember what happened after so many years.

Because I have no experience as a breeder or volunteer in a zoo, and my major has nothing to do with animals, I encountered many problems when I actually wrote it.

Like writing about a tiger, how long is this tiger, how much does it weigh, how much meat it eats a day, how high it can jump, and whether its tongue can lick people, these things that seem to be mentioned in the book, in fact, it takes time to check. .

Go to Baidu Encyclopedia, and everyone knows that Baidu Encyclopedia is very unreliable. At the beginning, it said that the Siberian tiger weighs 300 kg. I think it is a bit big. Before I published the book, I gave me a person who knew something about animals. When my friend saw it, he said that your 300kg is unreliable. Those who grow 300kg in the zoo are all fat tigers. He quickly accepted it with humility and took a 200kg.

When I look at this entry now, 300 kilograms have already been changed. I checked the editing record of the entry. Good guy, people are changing it every day.

Therefore, Baidu and Wiki are used together when searching for information, but Wikipedia may sometimes fluctuate due to some reasons that everyone understands.

Including going to some foreign zoo websites to check information, it is quite laborious anyway.

Later, someone raised an opinion, saying that your 200 kilograms are not reliable. The male tiger may be 200 kilograms. How can your female tiger be so strong. I rushed to check it again. I went to the tiger bar to find the data listed by someone. Now the zoo is raising the northeast in captivity. The weight of a tiger, the average female tiger is 170 kg.

I originally wanted to change it to 170kg, but when I wrote about the comments, I already learned more about it. Tigers of different ages have different weights. The weight of tigers will fluctuate in winter and summer. If you store energy for yourself to keep out the cold in winter, you will eat more. If you gain weight in autumn and winter, you may be thinner in summer. So if you go to the zoo and see a thin tiger, it is not that you have not fed the tiger. People do get thinner in summer.

So after thinking about it, if you are not very sure, then just leave the 170 kilograms vague.

Another reader asked questions about the tiger's jumping ability, saying that your jump of 2-3 meters is unreliable, and the tiger can jump 10 meters high.

When I woke up, I was surprised to see this comment, although I didn't think it was very reliable, because when I wrote about the construction of the tiger pavilion, this data was also the standard for the construction of the tiger pavilion in the zoo in "Illustrated Zoo Design", so there should be no problem.

But we really don’t know much about animals. Maybe there are tigers that can jump as well. If the tiger jumps 10 meters high, then there is indeed a problem with the 5-meter-deep barrier of the tiger pavilion.

So I went to check, and after searching for a long time, I couldn’t find anyone who could jump 10 meters, but I did find a specific example. A tiger in the San Francisco Zoo hurt people. A purebred female Siberian tiger jumped over a 3.88-meter-high wall at the bottom of the trench. Yes, this should be the limit. In order to prevent the tiger from climbing over again, the zoo raised the barrier to 5.79 meters for safety.

I was relieved and scared to death. It seems that running and jumping 2-3 meters on the spot should be correct. There is no problem in writing the trench barrier 5 meters high, and the bottom of my Huguan trench is still V-shaped sloping downward. Yes, it's not ideal for a run-up with stones.

The process of searching for information like this runs through the entire writing process, writing about the cubs, what to feed the cubs, how the tiger cubs will behave at different stages, when they can run, jump and eat meat. I have read three articles. The papers on tiger cubs, including looking for some videos of feeding baby tigers, only got a little bit of understanding.

When writing the introduction of the white tiger, is the white tiger an albino tiger or a genetically mutated tiger, is it a thing? What is the difference between a white tiger and an albino tiger? What happened to Jinhu and Xuehu? Can only a white tiger give birth to a golden tiger and a snow tiger? That is why ah?

It’s a little hard to write down if you don’t understand it, and you can’t just make nonsense, what should you do if you make a mistake.

Ask the big guys, some people say which two gene loci are mutated. I just studied this problem before, and I enthusiastically helped to find two English papers. I didn't download them... It's enough to read the Chinese papers. Looking at English papers, my English is not good, it seems too laborious...

In chapter 13, the child asked the role of the fox tail, and the protagonist gave the answer. Some people commented that this is the transmission of knowledge to the child by the thinking logic of adults, which surprised me again. I feel that the protagonist did not give any difficult and obscure answers, child. It should be no problem to answer this question to her like this, but to be on the safe side, I hurriedly flipped through the zoo conservation education to see if there was anything beyond the guidelines. By the way, I asked one of my guide friends, who said who is this? There is nothing wrong with raising the bar (crossed out), the knowledge of children is beyond the imagination of many adults, which is a sigh of relief.

Writing about black-booted tortoises, this stuff has less information and is even more unpopular. At the time of writing, I saw an article saying that someone picked up a black-booted tortoise at the train station and handed it over to Yunnan Wildlife Park, and then how much is 25 pounds? , the staff said this one was in his 20s.

But this is not right with the information searched on Wikipedia. People say that it can grow to 50 pounds, but there are problems. Is this black-booted tortoise in his 20s considered an adult? How long does it take for this tortoise to grow into an adult? 50 How much does a centimeter weigh?

I went to ask someone who had been raised, oh, 50 jins should be 50 centimeters. It is true that people in their 20s can grow so big. Now I have the confidence to write these data.

Therefore, there should be a problem with the reporter who wrote this news. It is impossible to be more than 20 pounds in his 20s. I guess he may have confused the black-booted tortoise with the brown-booted tortoise.

It is also impossible to appear in Linhai, a place near the sea. Although Linhai is overhead, there is no seaside where the black-booted tortoises are distributed, so the protagonist will guess that someone released it, and give a reasonable reason.

Speaking of crows, there must be magpies in the geographical location of the sea, but I don’t know if there are crows. I went through the bird manual, nature notes and other materials, such as the approximate region corresponding to the virtual location. If there are any crows in the real city, and what kind of crows are there, then dare to write that crows appear in this place, otherwise the magpies will be the ones holding the tails and apples of the red pandas. Magpies and crows are actually the same cheap.

When I was writing about the macaque, it got stuck when I was about to type on the keyboard. What is the community structure of this monkey? Could this monkey king be a female monkey? Can other monkeys have wives except the monkey king who has a wife?

In the process of writing down the problem and looking for information, I suddenly saw this content in an article on the public account one day. The introduction material was selected from the monkey family book, and I quickly bought a copy, but the introduction of this part in the book is only a few pages.

After reading it, I finally figured out a little bit about the community relationship of macaques. It turns out that this macaque is a matriarchal society, and the rights of female monkeys are quite large. Male monkeys are not only physically strong and can walk, but also under captive conditions. Princelings and seniority parties.

Write about the monkey fight, what was the situation during the fight? If I write a monkey staring, does it look like this? After searching for a long time, I found the article "Research on the Facial Expression of Taihang Mountain Macaques Accompanied by Competitive Behavior", which is written in more detail, and it is finally a bit emboldened to write about monkey fights.

However, with the publication of the book, the writing becomes more and more tense, and some details may not have so much time to find a paper for research, so we can only try to ensure that there are not too many problems, at least the relatively basic questions such as how long the red panda's tail is and what to eat are still not enough. will get it wrong.

By the way, I will read all the basic comments. In the animal area, there are actually very few places where there are problems that need to be corrected, mainly the weight of the tiger at the beginning, as well as the tiger's relatively detailed behavior, Some problems with the cage. emmm, there are always people who are so assertive and scare me as a half-ass... If I don't understand or are uncertain, let's use a question sentence.

I'll attach a few pictures for you to see later. I have bought more than 50 books to write this book, ranging from zoo design, animal behavior management, animal feed, animal rescue, animal protection, zoo conservation education, zoo introduction , to animal encyclopedia, animal behavior, specific to a certain species, a certain animal, natural notes of a certain area and so on.

A lot of books are bought second-hand from Douyuyu, which can be much cheaper and environmentally friendly, right?

Not to mention the research papers, the downloaded electronic documents, the documentaries I watched, and the animal videos, I also followed more than 30 zoo-related public accounts, and even now I go to lectures every week...

Without this accumulation, I really need to check a lot of things to write this topic. The chapters you read in one minute, I need to spend dozens or even hundreds of hours studying behind this.

Especially the pavilion of each animal, wow, we also need to understand the habits of animals, such as how far tigers can jump, and we have to find the original habitat, the trees and grasses planted cannot be poisonous to animals, and the specific plant names of the venues behind I rarely write, I just don't have time to check. I have to look at the designs of various zoos, compare and contrast them, and see where they can learn from. Think about what behaviors animals can show in them. You have to have some features, right? Although the classic formula is landscape, what kind of exhibition is there? The museum has a few of these good-looking, but it can't be the same, so it's not worth watching. What enrichment should the exhibition hall be equipped with?

Designing a pavilion feels more difficult than writing a graduation project.

Writing slowly doesn't mean being lazy and making excuses.

Looking up so much information, I'm tired and not thankful...

It must be that I have not found the correct writing posture that is relaxed and pleasant.

But if you don't check the information, it may be written that the little tiger's urine is yellow and irritating, and the aquarium is half-raised for ornamental fish and half for people to fish and eat. This is a particularly outrageous plot...

Damn, the little tiger can't urinate on its own, the tigress is asked to lick its ass or someone will pee, and the color of the little tiger's urine is light yellow and clear, and the yellow is almost invisible. Is it the little tiger or the little Nezha who is feeding the yellow urine?

Moreover, writing a book is not about writing data. Once you find the data, you can’t just throw it away, you have to put it in the right place, right? The subject of zoos is very niche, so there are very few books that can be referenced. Although some books have good grades, they may have a different approach. It is awkward to imitate them with a zoo skin to write fantasy.

It’s like going out to rescue rare wild animals all day long. Yes, the zoo must also rescue animals, but after saving the animals, they threw the animals back to the zoo, and then went out to rescue new animals. The zoo has become a recycling station, right? A half dime relationship.

Moreover, the rescue does not mean that you will move back when you see it. The best thing is to protect the habitat of others. How to save it, and whether to bring it back to the zoo must have a plan to verify it. If they left, they were reared without suitable environmental conditions, and they were raised to death. The rest could not reproduce, and the population completely died out in the wild.

When assisting, analyze the injury situation. What kind of injury did you suffer? If it is serious, don’t take it back. How can you protect it when you bring it back? are very particular.

Do you want anesthesia, and how much anesthesia dose will not endanger life? Many animals died from complications of anesthesia.

You have to learn a little basic veterinary knowledge, right?

If you are not familiar with it, do not dare to write it casually.

It's easy to write nonsense, of course, find any endangered animal to save it, isn't it good to save it, incarnate as a druid and call the animals to fight with poachers in the forest, police helicopters drop from the sky, and come to a just ending, this is not just a matter of water More than a dozen chapters, but also exciting, not much better than visiting.

To tell the truth, it is not a Virgo, so why pay attention to details, the broad road must go narrow.

What to write specifically, this is really worrying. Without a reference book, I can only figure out what to write by myself. Sometimes I fall asleep after typing the words and think about the plot card text, and I can't fall asleep at three or four in the morning.

Some people think that tourists visit the zoo water, no, we designed such a beautiful exhibition area, isn't it just for tourists to play? After the exhibition area is built, tourists will not come to visit, so what are you doing? Isn't that painstakingly designed exhibition area in vain?

The primary responsibility of the zoo is to educate the public, and the target of this service is tourists.

I also understand that what some readers may want to see is that the protagonist has been interacting with animals, just like the elf trainer, there are elf following everywhere, and Pika Pika is very cute.

When tourists visit, sometimes they can let the protagonist come out and make a public appearance, but most of the time, tourists must visit the zoo by themselves. How can there be a ubiquitous director like a ghost, unless Be a tour guide, right?

This part is not suitable for reference of books on the theme of zoos. I will refer to "Gourmet Supplier". The book is popular. The protagonist cooks a dish and customers come to eat. In fact, it is similar to tourists visiting. It will also describe what you did before eating. According to my past experience, there is no problem.

Is there a rhythm in writing a book? It's ups and downs, and it's flat. It's delicious when you go to eat. When you go to the zoo, you can know why you came and what you want to visit. If you come directly, you will be named Putting his face on his face and saying that who is going to visit today is a bit too blunt.

Maybe the plot of the visit will be better to watch? Or just stuff the protagonist every time you visit?

Including live broadcasts, tourists visiting, the protagonist interacting with animals, all are interspersed, and a plot is not too long. I try to avoid making everyone tired of watching a plot in a row.

Including visiting, the activity status of animals is different every time you visit. Take watching red pandas, for example, hiding in caves, hiding in trees, climbing trees, eating bamboo, basking in the sun, eating apples, pooping, etc. Being bullied by crows... It's also very troublesome to write about the visit.

The rich environment of the exhibition area allows animals to show many natural behaviors. Can you see all the behaviors of animals in one visit to the zoo? Even if it is the same behavior, different people have different experiences and feelings at different times and different situations. Isn't this the fun of going to the zoo.

Write about the breeder's perspective, the animal's perspective?

If you have work experience as a breeder, it may be more interesting to write daily.

The plot development of fantasy novels such as fighting, upgrading, obtaining treasures, trials, etc. is very mature, but what to write about this theme and how to write it well, there is no very suitable example guide, I can only understand it according to my own understanding to write.

The author is not a glass-hearted person, but when I wrote about the visit, it was a bit melancholy to see so many comments that were boring, careless, nonsense, bad reviews, disappointments, etc.

It might be a bit impulsive to choose the theme of the zoo. Most of the energy of writing a book is to conceive the plot. I can code a lot in one day and have fun after writing it. Was madly sprayed.

Wouldn't it be better to spend so much energy learning the fantasy of fire writing, which is better than a little unpopular theme like dying?

The big one every day.

Human energy is limited, I don't want to be a human...

I really want to write something good to write, isn't it fragrant to write a mindless and cool article, anyway, it's all being sprayed...why is it so hard?

Some readers suggested that you can write some emotional scenes, enrich the characters, and design some plots for the supporting characters. The suggestion is good, but there is not enough time.

If you divide yourself into several avatars, one to study fire books, one to study animal information, one to conceive plot writing, um, and one to go to the zoo as a breeder for on-the-spot reference, which would be great. This should make it easier to write a zoo book.

In the final analysis, there is still insufficient accumulation, and we can only try to ensure that we do a good job in one aspect, not all aspects.

But maybe adding a little sour love plot is better to write? You don't have to go through so many things. Take the time to study.

Hey, it is destined to be a niche book anyway. If you like it, please support it. Let the author earn back the money from buying the book, and accidentally buy an expensive children's animal picture book with little content or an expensive notebook with animal illustrations. I won't regret it anymore. After writing this book, I can replace the broken laptop that I have used for seven years and can't carry the Zoo Star.

Woohoo, it sounds very resentful, the protagonist is playing the zoo star crossing, I have never even played the zoo star! I bought it with the DLC on the discounted body. It took 5 minutes to open it for the first time, and it was running one card at a time, and I was left to eat ashes. I hope Brother Meng can support me and give me a chance to travel with the game.

Niche themes, writing is not easy, I really need the support of Brother Meng.

Like an endangered animal, it may become extinct without rescue.

Thank you again as a last practice.

First of all, I would like to thank my mother for supporting my writing and giving me a relaxed writing environment.

Thank you for voting, rewarding, expressing your liking for animals, and earnestly commenting on every book friend who pointed out the problem.

Thanks to the beauty editor Huya!

Thank you to the zoo giants and the teachers in the exchange group, especially the director of Xining Wildlife Park, Qi, who took the time to answer the questions that are very unprofessional and stupid. Brother Meng can go to Xiye if you have a chance. Their snow leopards and hozens are super cute.

3 chapters will be updated on the shelves, and 4 chapters will be added to the leader "Feiyanren". If you don't ask for too much, add two chapters to the 700 order.

Actually, I really want to say one more chapter for 100 subscriptions, but I have already saved all the manuscripts. It is really too slow to update. 4000 words a day is enough. If the promise is too big, I will definitely not be able to do it... Do your best to write.

If you have any thoughts on what episodes you would like to see, you can leave a message in the comments.

If you have any photos of visiting the zoo, you can also share with everyone.

I hope this book will let you know some zoo knowledge, and you can have a better visiting experience when you go to the zoo to see animals.

...

Finally, I recommend a few books.

"Starting from 2012" with two bowls of dried noodles, a single heroine dog food article, a style of life!

Night Shadow Love Ji's "Doomsday Ring", this book is not bad, it's beautiful!

Xiaobai is my "Age of Gods and Lords": Ragnarok, the fall of the gods, the fall of the broken godhead and the landing of the blue star to achieve thousands of demigods. Create the domain of the gods, cultivate the intelligent race, gather faith, forge the divinity, ignite the fire of the gods, reshape the godhead, forge the kingdom of God... (non-academic style)
