I Have a Safari Park

It was the first time the zoo opened at night, and of course Fang Ye was also strolling in the garden.

Wandering from the Tiger Pavilion to the Wolf Pavilion, the wolf howls could be heard in the distance.

Seeing the tourists, he smiled and greeted: "How is it, have you seen the wolf?"

"Hello, gardener!"

"Good evening, principal!"

"I saw the wolf, I just ran over here, I don't know where it went!"

The tourists greeted each other with a lot of tongues, and then someone couldn't wait to ask: "Parkmaster, the howl of wolves is so terrifying, do wolves eat people?"

"Yeah, the eyes are like ghost fire, it's too scary."

Fang Ye was a little amused: "You are all afraid of wolves? Why are you afraid of wolves?"

"Don't be afraid during the day, but be afraid at night!" a tourist said honestly.

A middle-aged man said with a solemn expression: "I heard from the old man that every year in the village, children are carried away by wolves. Sometimes children play in the yard by themselves, and they can't see them when their family members come out.

Once when the wolf was walking into the ditch with the child in his mouth, he was found and stopped by the villagers. The family was still chasing him. The wolf saw too many people and threw the child away and ran away. He was bitten by a wolf and disfigured. When he grew up, half of his face was scarred. The real thing on our side! "

"Wow!" The tourists beside him let out a low exclamation.

"My old man also said that in the 1940s and 1950s, the wolf disaster in the northeast was very serious! At that time, wolves were not afraid of people. They often haunted the village in groups and even broke into the village and attacked Incidents of hurting people and stealing livestock have occurred from time to time."

Another tourist pondered: "I remember reading a news before, saying that a female college student went to Qinghai to travel alone and lost contact for 20 days. The police finally found her body in Hoh Xil, and only the bones were left. It was ruled out that it was homicide. So it must have been eaten by animals like wolves or bears!"

The tourists were horrified and terrified to think about it!

After listening to everyone, Fang Ye said: "This is more complicated to say, first of all I can tell you a simple conclusion, that is, don't be afraid of wolves, because in the past twenty years, nothing has happened in the world. Several incidents of wolves actively attacking people.

The few incidents in which wolves attacked people also occurred when wolves ate domestic animals, and people clashed with wolves in order to protect domestic animals, and people were injured during the conflict. "

Some tourists couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the female college student who was bitten to death by the wolf?"

Fang Ye looked at the tourists here, all of them were adults and no children, so they could talk about some in-depth topics, so he explained patiently: "People have been out of contact for 20 days. They will not attack people actively, but they will eat corpses. After the corpse decomposes, the smell will drift away. Animals such as wolves, bears, eagles, and vultures are scavengers, so they will naturally be attracted to eat the corpses.

There is no evidence that people were attacked and killed by wild animals when they were alive, but when everyone hears that only bones are left, and homicide is ruled out, do they directly identify the murderer as a wild animal, or even a wolf? "

Immediately, several tourists nodded silently, and some people showed reflections in their eyes. It seemed that this was the case. Without thinking much, they put the blame on the wolf.

Fang Ye spread his hands and said helplessly: "This is the stereotype and prejudice that people have against animals like wolves and tigers. When they think of them, they will think of 'brutal, tyrannical and dangerous beasts'.

Of course, there is a reason for this prejudice. In history, there have been plagues of wolves and tigers. Therefore, many Chinese and foreign literary and artistic works have negative images of these carnivorous beasts, such as 'Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf', 'Good wine when friends come , the jackal has a shotgun', this negative impression has also been handed down along with literary and artistic works, and it is still rooted in people's hearts today.

But today's environment is different. Tigers and wolves are not much left, and the chance of encountering wolves or tigers in the wild is even smaller than winning the lottery.

And when they encounter people in the wild, they basically run away from people. You are afraid of them, and they are afraid of you. "

"So it is."

A sturdy elder brother said with deep feelings: "Yes, people's understanding of animals should be constantly improving, and they can't stay in the past. I didn't have a good impression of wolves at first, but I went to the wolf museum A few times, after seeing those science exhibition cards and understanding their role in the ecosystem, the impression changed.”

"Big brother is right, let everyone eliminate prejudice, understand animals correctly, and know how to treat animals. This is also the meaning of our zoo." Fang Ye gave a thumbs up and praised the big brother.

Now that we have talked about this topic, please explain it clearly, otherwise it is just saying that wolves will not attack people, which will not completely dispel everyone's concerns. By the way, you can also talk about how to deal with wolves in the wild.

Continuing to explain: "As for why wolves attack people, some researchers have done an investigation and finally classified the reasons into four categories, namely suffering from rabies, defensive aggression, predatory aggression, and competitive aggression."

Tourists are listening attentively!

Fang Ye said eloquently: "It's easy to understand that you have rabies, wolves will become manic, leave the wolf pack, and bite everything that moves and cannot move around.

The difference between the attack of the sick wolf and the predatory attack is that the sick wolf will bite whoever it catches, the attack is full of randomness, and it will not eat the victim. However, wolves are not the main host of rabies, and there are very few cases of sick wolves hurting people.

As for defensive attack, it refers to the passive attack launched by the wolf because of fear or anger when the person invades the wolf, the purpose is to escape from the person, or drive the person away.

For example, when a mother wolf brings her cubs, people appear around the nest. The mother wolf attacks people to protect the wolf cubs. In fact, this is the same as any other animal. I think everyone is concerned about the bird attacking people to protect the nest. Have you heard a lot? "

Immediately, a tourist appeared and said, "I've experienced this before! Once when I was walking, I came across a bird on the ground. I was thinking if it fell out of the nest, so I won't be caught by a stray cat. I'll be ready. I brought it back to raise it, but two birds flew over to peck at me, and I thought it might be their child, so I quickly put it down."

Fang Ye warned: "Well, this is the right thing to do. If you come across this kind of chick that falls outside the nest, don't bring it back at will. Most people don't know how to take care of young birds, and the survival rate of domestic breeding is very low, and Even if they are fed, the birds do not know how to forage and guard against natural enemies when they grow up, and they will die if they are released into the wild.

The bird may have just failed its test flight, and the parent bird is watching over it. In this case, just leave, or put them back on the branches of the bush. If you are not sure what to do, contact the animal rescue center for professional help. "

The rescue of birds is also something that the public lacks understanding. After the bird hall is completed, there will be a special exhibition board to introduce it!

Back to the topic: "If you are inexplicably attacked by a wolf, just evacuate this area first.

Defensive attacks include wolves attacking hunters, wolves attacking trainers, not to mention this. In this case, wolves generally only attack once quickly, rather than chasing and biting. "

You may have to eat at night, so code a chapter in advance
