I Have a Safari Park

After the breeders became familiar with the daily operation procedures and received behavior training training, the animals also got used to the environment and life of Linhai Zoo, and gradually began to do real behavior training.

More than just blowing a whistle, I knew that I would run over to eat this kind of thing.

Tiger Pavilion.

In the back room, Xiao Bao held a goal stick with a bright orange ball at the top, and a meat box was tied to the belt on the back.

With the box in front, the tiger will be distracted by looking at the meat. How can he even notice what the breeder is doing? If the meat is dangling in front of his eyes and he doesn't give it to himself when he sees it, he will not be able to train if he is angry.

"Jiaojiao~"

Xiaobao affectionately called Jiaojiao's name.

Jiaojiao lay in the cage, opened her eyelids lazily, and glanced at him.

Meng Shi stayed on the side of the training cage, avoiding Jiaojiao's frontal gaze, and watched carefully!

Usually accompanied by Fang Ye, I often see tigers. The more times I see him, the less vigilant the tigers are.

Now he got his wish and became a breeder of a tiger house.

Although Jiaojiao was less wary of him, she still had no good face, and would roar when she saw him.

"Come, eat meat, eat meat!"

Xiaobao took out a piece of meat, clipped it with a wooden clip, and sent it to the railing.

The reason for not using your hands is very simple. Although the railings of this training cage are tight, the tiger's claws cannot be stretched out, but if you give it with your hands, what will you do if you bite your hands.

The wooden clip is used because it will not hurt the tiger, and the iron clip is the most commonly used, but when the tiger bites down, it may bite its teeth or hurt its mouth.

Fang Ye has obtained the knowledge of "Animal Behavior Management" by lottery, which has more details than the general zoo training operation, and has talked about it when training the breeders.

When Jiaojiao saw the meat, she became more energetic, got up and walked two steps, and came over to eat it.

A piece of meat that is one or two taels is not enough to be inserted between the teeth, and it is eaten in one bite.

In front of the railing, he quietly looked at Xiao Bao.

Xiaobao tapped Jiaojiao's mouth with the target stick, and at the same time quickly pressed the clicker, making a crisp "click" sound.

The sound of "click" echoed in the training cage, startling Jiaojiao!

He stood up straight and looked a little wary, but when he saw Xiao Bao, he caught another piece of meat and ate it quickly.

The clicker has a distinctive "click" sound, and if it's a verbal compliment like "well done", different breeders have different accents and possibly dialects that can confuse the animals.

The "click" sound of the clicker is a unified calibration signal, which can reduce the confusion of animals and shorten the learning time.

Just like this, the target stick clicks Jiaojiao, and at the same time makes a "click", and then feeds a piece of meat.

Jiaojiao keeps eating meat!

After doing one round 10 times, Xiaobao saw that Jiaojiao was doing well, and thought to himself, "Would you like to try to go further?"

Put the target stick on the place where Jiaojiao's head is slightly up.

The idea in the first place was to get the animals to associate the target stick with the food.

The next step is to move the target stick a few centimeters away. If the animal takes the initiative to touch the target stick after thinking, it will make a "click" immediately when it touches it, indicating that it is right!

Doing it right is rewarded with food to eat.

Jiaojiao looked at him, her eyes becoming a little unkind.

She is very smart!

Immediately I understood what it meant to be great.

But a small breeder, with such a little food, actually wants to command himself?

Instead, he walked far away and fell down.

Rebellious!

Xiaobao panicked: "Hey, Jiaojiao, don't go! Let's consolidate the results of the previous step!"

Anyway, Jiaojiao just lay on her stomach and closed her eyes to sleep, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"Hey, it's a bit quick and easy."

Xiao Bao was depressed and scratched his head.

But he also knows that when animals are first trained, various problems will arise.

Only patiently cultivate tacit understanding.

The process of training is also the process of building trust.

...

In fact, the training of the tiger has been very smooth!

In the back of the lion pavilion, Xiao Li is also training the lions.

When Qiqi started training, he didn't like the small piece of meat that Xiao Li took out.

After eating the meat, his eyes widened and he slapped the railing with his claws angrily, roaring loudly: "Roar!"

NMD, what is this! I usually eat large pieces of meat, how dare you give me such a small piece of meat! Are you kidding me?

Very emotional.

The first step doesn't work.

Change to card.

Kaka just started to eat a few pieces of meat, looked at the target stick in Xiao Li's hand, heard the "click" sound, and suddenly retched.

Xiao Li was stunned for a while, why did he suddenly vomit? Is there something wrong with the meat?

Impossible, this is the meat I just purchased a few days ago.

Even if it is spoiled, lions can still eat a little scavenger.

With a "click", Kaka retched again, and then suddenly began to poop! Pulled a lump of stool to the ground.

A look of disgust.

"Ah this..."

Xiao Li can see it, Kaka only wants to eat meat and does not want to do training!

Training it on its own makes it very disgusting, expressing its dissatisfaction with vomiting and bowel movements.

Xiao Li wanted to sigh a little, but Fang Ye's speech emerged in his mind: "The process of animal training will not be smooth sailing. Animals do not perform their expected behaviors, no matter what the reason is, the breeder should not be frustrated, discouraged, let alone Take your emotions out on the animals."

He calmed down and said with a smile: "Kaka, you are so disgusted, we will not train today. Adjust your state and come back tomorrow."

The beasts such as lions and tigers are the most in need of training, and they are more difficult to train.

A large number of macaques also need training, but the method is different.

It is too troublesome to train one by one like this, and what is needed is the deterrence of the breeder.

Lv Jiamu has many years of experience in raising and caring for macaques. Although these new macaques are completely unfamiliar to the breeder, after a week or two of contact, he has learned that he is not a person to be messed with.

When Lu Jiamu was feeding the food, he would also run to the outside for fights and fights. When he scolded him, he would persuade him.

When several apprentices brought by Lu Jiamu came into contact with the macaques, they would be tricked and teased.

I asked inexplicably and got a very simple answer: "Aura!"

"Aura?"

"That's right, the eyes and facial expressions you look at the macaques, the way you walk, the tone and voice you speak to them, these all together are your aura. The macaques are very smart animals, they know that you are pretending It's still solid."

The apprentices can only sigh, the master's realm is really too advanced!

If you want to have the level of a master, you may have to raise macaques for a few years.
