I Have a Safari Park

"As for a competitive attack, it is not caused by hunger or fear, but the wolf wants to drive competitors away from their territory or food. In this case, it is generally only a tentative attack, even if attacking and killing people, It doesn't eat people either.

Predatory aggression is a situation in which wolves attack people in a state of starvation, but there are many factors in the occurrence of such attacks. As a few friends said before, there were wolf disasters in the 1940s and 1950s and 1950s and 1960s. Think about it, what would that be like? "

The tourists pondered, showing a wise look: "In the 1940s and 1950s, there should be still wars?"

"When there was a natural disaster in the 1960s, a lot of people would starve to death."

Fang Ye nodded and said, "That's right, people are usually not in the wolf's diet. Wolves usually eat deer and rabbits, but they learn from their parents when they hunt and learn from their parents. This knowledge is inherited from generation to generation.

But in the years of war and famine too many people died, and many corpses were left in the wilderness. The wolves may have included people in their diets after they became accustomed to eating human corpses, and gradually began to attack humans, from cannibalizing people occasionally, to often eating people, and even passing on the habit of cannibalism to the next generation.

This habit does not appear out of thin air. It is a special situation in a special era. With the disappearance of famine and war, the behavior of wolf cannibalism will also decrease and disappear. If you look at the wolf disasters in history, in fact, they are often accompanied by wars and famines. Natural and man-made disasters come together, so there is no need to worry about encountering wolves that eat people today.

Of course, the predatory attacks of wolves are not only related to the turbulent years, but also related to large-scale grazing, land reclamation, and tree felling by humans, resulting in the destruction of their habitats and the reduction of food.

For example, when steel is being smelted, it needs fuel. The fuel is to cut down trees to burn. Many centuries-old trees have been cut down, and the miscellaneous trees on the mountains have been swept away. Cut bald.

The original habitat of wolves has become fragmented and reduced, the density of wild prey is reduced, and the number of prey is not enough to maintain the number of large wolves, so it is impossible to hunt large prey, or contain small prey, and the success rate of hunting is reduced.

They can only stray and become lone wolves or small wolves, and their behaviors will change. They will hunt for better livestock, or they will be attracted by human garbage to find garbage to eat, which will lead to conflicts between humans and animals.

The incident of wolves attacking domestic animals does not mean that the ecology has improved and wolves have returned, but that unreasonable grazing leads to poor vegetation quality and food shortages for wolves. "

The tourists said with emotion: "So it is!"

"It feels like people are the scariest animals on the planet."

"Director, regarding the wolf attack on domestic animals and the conflict between humans and wolves, how should we deal with wolves?"

Fang Ye thought for a while: "Actually, the state has a subsidy policy for this kind of wild animal attacking domestic animals.

Specific methods include standardizing grazing methods, establishing monitoring of individual wolves, disclosing information on animals monitored, reminding herdsmen to take precautions, take protective measures, and conduct education and publicity in all aspects, so that herdsmen know how to respond and how to deal with Compensation for the damage suffered by the herdsmen, sending veterinarians to help vaccinate livestock, and reducing the death of livestock due to disease, these methods can eliminate herdsmen's grievances against wild animals.

However, there are also difficulties in implementing it. For example, a veterinarian in a snow area that I know promotes the benefits of vaccination for livestock. Many herdsmen are very unhappy. They do not understand this and think it is harmful to livestock, or it does not matter. The vaccine will not be given even if it goes down.

But after several serious cattle and sheep epidemics, they put some pressure on the herdsmen in the name of the government. After a comprehensive injection, the effect was very good for the second year. From that time, the herdsmen knew the benefits of the vaccine. , will take the initiative to fight. Otherwise, even if the cattle and sheep died of illness, the grievances of the herdsmen would still be blamed on the wild animals.

Then there is the loss caused by the beast, how to determine which animal killed it, not the one who died of illness? It may be necessary to put an infrared camera, right, keep the image data, so that it is convenient to report the loss, otherwise there may be a situation of falsely reporting the loss and receiving compensation. If the herdsmen find it troublesome and unwilling to settle down, or do not know how to do it, they need the help of the staff. This still requires long-term efforts.

There is also compensation for damage to livestock. Some of the more precious protected animals, such as snow leopards, can be compensated more easily for killing livestock. Now wolves are only recognized as three possessions in some provinces, so it may not be easy to get compensation. "

The strong elder brother sighed and said: "Hey, the number of wolves is so small, but they have not been paid attention to."

"I became interested in wolves after visiting the zoo last time, and I watched a few videos about wolves. As a result, many people shouted and killed them, saying that all wolves should be killed, which really made me laugh. "

At this time, the wolf was screaming and howling at the edge of the waterfall again. A tourist laughed and said, "I heard so much from the director of the garden, and I feel that I am not so afraid of wolves now."

The middle-aged man who talked about the wolf holding the child before asked worriedly: "The principal, but speaking of which, what should I do if I really encounter a wolf in the wild?"

Fang Ye raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, if you really meet, keep your distance first!

Keep a distance of 50 meters from the wolf. If the wolf gets close to you, back away. It may be a family's lair nearby.

Or the wolf is just passing by, you are blocking the road, back away and let the wolf go first, if there is a car, back into the car.

Remember, don't run, you can't run as fast as a wolf. People were not interested in you at first, but as a result, the hunting instinct was aroused when you ran.

And no dogs! It is very stupid to bring a dog in the wilderness where there may be wild beasts. Not only can it not play a protective role, but it will stimulate the desire of wild animals to attack. Wolves and tigers may regard dogs as competitors or enemies, or even prey to attack.

If a dog is attacked, even people may be attacked, but people are in danger.

Don't bark, whistle, or do anything else to attract wolves!

You can stay still and keep quiet, just say hello to the wolves in a normal way, and clap your hands to drive them away.

Don't think that if wolves don't attack people, they feed wolves or something. This is absolutely forbidden. Animals are afraid of people because they are not familiar with people. If they are fed to wolves, they will become more courageous, and may not be afraid of people, and their aggression will become higher.

The best way to get along with wild animals is to keep your distance and not interfere with their activities, which is good for everyone! "

A tourist clapped his hands, as if thinking of something: "Hey, I remember the macaques in Mount Emei attacking people. At that time, I thought these macaques were really annoying. Was it caused by feeding them?"

"That's true." Fang Ye nodded. "These macaques became not afraid of people under the feeding of tourists, and then behaved aggressively. This is a typical example of people and animals not getting along properly and causing adverse consequences."

"Thank you, the principal, for giving us so much science. Although I won't go to the wild in the future, I won't be able to meet wolves, haha."

"Yes, if you want to see how dangerous it is for animals to go to the wild, it's better to go to a zoo, which is safe and convenient."

Fang Ye smiled and said: "Okay, then you can continue to watch, I will go to another place to shop!"

"Okay, goodbye, principal!"
