I Have a Safari Park

As for outdoor activity venues, the first is the material. Of course, natural ground must be selected, including grass, sand, and soil. Otherwise, elephants will not be able to exercise in a single environment, and they will easily become bloated and fat.

Adult male elephants are very destructive and more dangerous, so a separate area for male elephants is also required. This is because the habits of elephants are also different. Generally, Asian elephants need to separate male elephants from elephant groups, and African elephants can be mixed with female elephant groups.

Then there are the things that all kinds of pavilions have, shading facilities, artificial shading devices or large arbor trees.

Elephants like to rub against trees. Small trees will collapse after rubbing twice, and big trees will not be able to withstand a few times. If trees are planted in the exhibition hall, some protection measures must be taken. Generally, the power grid is used.

Fang Ye learned about a special kind of perch in the elephant house through researching papers and consulting with elephant breeders. Several old tires are buried in the ground, and the thick trunks of large trees are inserted in them, so that the thick trunks become Gotta be flexible.

Elephants can bear the force when they rub it on it, and it is very comfortable to sway.

Of course, the trunk and tires must have corresponding fixing measures to prevent the elephant from pulling the trunk out.

Visual barriers, such as low walls and mounds, can shield vulnerable individuals from pressure from powerful individuals, and can also keep elephants out of sight of tourists when they don't want to see them.

High hanging points are also very important. Putting food on a high place, such as a rubber wave tube filled with a roll of hay, is in line with the eating habits of elephants, and it can also allow the elephant to exercise the muscles of the neck and neck, which is beneficial to the elephant Stay in shape.

The location of the hanging point, of course, is in a place convenient for tourists to visit, and a bar can be hung between the two parasol facilities.

This kind of facility can be controlled remotely, so that breeders can replenish feed remotely without entering the venue.

All kinds of environment enrichment!

Water is very important for elephants. In hot summer, elephants can take a comfortable bath in the pool, and there are showers to cool down.

The minimum water depth requirement of the elephant house is to allow more than half of the body to be submerged when an adult individual is comfortable lying on his side. Fang Ye is going to build a large pool that can cover the elephant's head.

The area is at least able to accommodate all individuals in the elephant group to bathe at the same time. Elephants are very social animals, and things like bathing are carried out together.

It is equivalent to taking a bath in a bathhouse. In the process, not only does it satisfy one's own physical and spiritual needs, but it also enhances emotional connections with other members of the family.

The bottom of the pool should be made of concrete, and the entrance should be a gentle slope of no more than 30 degrees, so that the elephants can easily enter and exit the pool, and don't get into trouble if they get stuck in and out. The vertical side walls need a block so that the elephant cannot fall into it with one foot.

Tiger Pavilion's pool area is 300 square meters, but the pool area of ​​Elephant Pavilion is 2,000 square meters, isn't it too much?

...It seems to be a bit excessive. The pool is large and beautiful, but the area of ​​​​the land is small.

Anyway, one thousand square meters is definitely needed!

You can also plant a little lotus leaf behind the pool to enrich the landscape.

Coming up from the pool, there is a sandy ground covered with thick and fine sand, and elephants can happily sprinkle the sand to play.

There are also landscapes of cliffs and waterfalls, and waterfalls are almost standard in zoo pavilions.

Pools, sand baths, mud baths, all of which are essential for elephants.

Animals, including wild boars and rhinos, like to roll in mud pits and put a layer of mud armor on their bodies to avoid mosquito bites and UV rays. Moreover, the water in the mud coat can maintain body temperature for a long time.

Sometimes the mud pits in the wild are relatively small, and everyone cannot go in. The parents of the elephant clan will let the little elephants monopolize the mud pits and sprinkle mud on the sides with their noses.

What, take turns in? Still on the way to find food.

On the edge of these facilities, visitors can get a good view of the natural behavior of the elephants and the interaction between the groups!

Elephants live happily, have various facilities to play and play, feel happy, less aggressive, and safer when the breeders get along. Tourists see the elephants happy and confident, and it is also persuasive to popularize them.

The elephant exhibition area is so large, and there is naturally a square in the middle for people to rest.

Fang Ye wanted to build a mammoth square.

Mammoths, marking the end of the ice age!

As the largest beast on land once, like many animals, it disappeared in the long river of time.

There are several statues of mammoths in real proportions in the square. Tourists look at the mammoths in the square and look at the elephants from a distance. Comparing the size and appearance of the two, they will definitely make a lot of sighs.

This design includes a plot mode that guides people to look back to the past, watch the present, and think about the future, so as to realize the environmental problems that the world is facing.

The popular science exhibition board will introduce the mammoth and the reasons for its extinction, in addition to the reduction of food due to global warming, as well as human hunting.

After reading the exhibition signs, visitors may be thinking.

What happened in ancient times is still happening today. Will elephants also follow in the footsteps of mammoths?

If animals such as elephants continue to become extinct due to climate change, what will happen to humans in the end?

Environmental issues are becoming more and more urgent. The temperature in summer is getting higher and higher year by year, various climate anomalies are emerging in an endless stream, dangerous diseases are increasing, and rivers are exposing dry riverbeds. All exposed.

Water resources are like this, and they will be polluted.

Species from ancient times have gone extinct, and many animals are now facing extinction. Let visitors know what can be done to protect these animals, and at least increase a sense of crisis.

Children don't need to understand this, they can touch and touch the statue of the mammoth, and take a photo together.

Because the mammoth statue is a real scale, it must be dangerous to take a group photo when riding it at a high height. What should I do if it falls down?

If you make a guardrail, it will affect your senses too much.

So Fang Ye was going to get a little mammoth statue like a kindergarten slide, and put a staircase on its back so that he could ride up and play.

Although the Elephant Care Center cannot be opened as a whole, it can be reserved in advance to show visitors how the breeders pedicure the elephants.

As for other content, elephant tusks and poaching should definitely be part of the popular science content, so that tourists can understand the cruelty and disasters behind this seemingly beautiful rare animal product.

Fang Ye planned to ask the customs to see if there was any confiscated ivory that could be used for exhibition.

This kind of thing is either destroyed or sealed. Although it cannot be sold, it should be possible to apply for it for science popularization.

If there is no real thing, then you can only get an ivory model.

Finally, after the design, the elephant pavilion has a total area of ​​17,000 square meters! Another 2,000 Green Leaf Coins were spent to let the system improve the blueprint.

Among them, excluding the miscellaneous contents such as animal houses, nursing centers, squares, and service areas, the outdoor activity field of the elephant is 12,000 square meters, and it will cost 65w green leaf coins to complete the construction.

Fang Ye felt sad for a while, let's build it first, he has to think about how to earn Luye Coins.
