I Have a Safari Park

The tiger pavilion is under construction, the design of the red panda pavilion is completed, and the alpaca and peacock are solved at a low cost.

As for the macaques and red foxes...

The monkey mountain where the macaques are located, Fang Ye thought it was okay.

Because when the zoo first started, Monkey Mountain was built on the scale of more than 100 macaques, and the area is quite large, with a thousand square meters.

Now there are only a dozen left to transfer, and the space is more than enough.

It may be because of "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen. By default, the place where the monkeys live should be the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. When the animal welfare is still unknown, the monkey house in the zoo will basically be equipped with a mountain.

The main habitat of macaques is indeed in the cliffs of rocky mountains, valleys beside streams, dense forests or sparse forests and rocky mountains on the banks of rivers. The construction of Monkey Mountain implicitly implies animal welfare and meets their needs for climbing and status expression.

Of course, in Fang Ye's view, there are still quite a few shortcomings in the current Monkey Mountain. It is a pit-type, which can easily arouse the desire of tourists to feed from a commanding height. Another entertainment facility is not so rich.

However, the advantage of the large space is that the macaques usually play on the monkey mountain in the middle, and there is some distance from the edge, so they are less affected by feeding. In addition, there are usually few tourists in the zoo, so there is no obvious begging behavior.

The purpose of displaying wild animals in captivity is conservation education, showing their natural behavior in the wild, rather than doing nothing, standing on the edge of the exhibition area, waiting for humans to feed.

In fact, there is a scientific ratio of what the animals in the zoo eat every day. If you don’t want to vote, don’t vote, but even if there are tourists who want to feed, many animals are fed badly, and they have bad habits.

Fang Ye thought about it later, it is a good thing to take over such a declining zoo. There are fewer animals, so the living space is relatively spacious, and there are few tourists.

Therefore, although some of these animals in the zoo are not very spiritual, at least there is no serious stereotyped behavior and begging behavior.

Pull away.

In short, Monkey Mountain does not currently have such a strong need for a complete reconstruction.

You can add some simple enrichment facilities first, such as swings, slings, and perches.

The pool is also a good entertainment place for macaques, but it involves water pipelines, which is more troublesome, so let's talk about it when it is rebuilt.

With the red fox left, Fang Ye was a little embarrassed.

Small venues are too frustrating to be active. It seems a bit too wasteful to build a large venue for it like tigers and wolves.

People have high attack power, and the separation is to protect tourists from harm. A fox can't kill anyone with a bite. At most, get a vaccine.

But like an alpaca or a peacock, you can't set out a plot and put it outside. Foxes are ghosts, and they won't obediently stay in an area for people to visit, and they may run away somewhere.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "Hey, we can only build a small venue first!"

Because it was intended to be used as a transitional pavilion, the design was not very thoughtful.

100 square meters, with a piano line barrier on the viewing surface, the ground is mainly made of yellow sand cushion material, and some trees with thin trunks that cannot be climbed are planted on the background wall, which looks more green and natural, and a few thick logs in the middle are used as environmental enrichment, and then Put two large rocks and a few bushes to provide a place to hide and you're done.

Costs 4000 Leaf Coins.

Although very simple and crude, it is still many times stronger than their previous living conditions.

In the future, it is possible to build a large venue and breed red foxes with other animals, such as deer.

Although red foxes are carnivores, their diets are mainly small animals such as mice, frogs, and birds, and they also eat some fruit. A deer can't cause harm, and it will kill a deer to taste the meat.

The deer are purely vegetarian, there is basically no competition for resources, they are docile and not aggressive, and they will not attack foxes at all. Like this, they can consider mixed breeding.

It sounds simple, but it is actually a very complicated and difficult thing to do, but the benefits are obvious.

First, the utilization rate of the venue space is greatly improved; second, it creates more interesting display content for tourists; third, the reasonable mixing of different animals can increase environmental stimulation, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health.

Anyway, when the conditions are ripe, I will definitely try it.

Spend 2w green leaf coins, 2w7 left!

"Either build a part of the wolf hall first."

Fang Ye touched his chin and calculated: "We will not build the fence and the tourist area first, but only the animal living area. The consumption of natural materials is still relatively small. Start construction earlier to save time."

Both wolves and tigers are carnivores with similar themes, so the wolf pavilion is placed next to the tiger pavilion.

When the Leopard Pavilion and Lion Pavilion are built in the future, they can form a "predator corridor" to debut.

After demarcating the area, he took a look on the sand table. This is a mountainous area that is not very flat. The zoo did not make much use of it, but built a pavilion on the mountain as a place for tourists to rest.

However, Fang Ye said, following the mountainous terrain, he just happened to make an article.

First comes a clear and flowing stream, which flows from high rocks to low ground, and finally converges to form an open and calm pond.

Lay block rocks to make the slopes steeper and clearer, and the stream flows through it like jumping down steps, creating the feeling of a microscopic waterfall.

Rapid stream waterfalls can increase the excitement of wolves and encourage them to be more active, because wolves often drive their prey to cliffs or rivers when they are hunting and raiding to increase the success rate of hunting.

And the waters are vibrant and lush, which is a good place to play.

Some dead trees are placed in the creek and the surrounding open space, a few clumps of weeds are added between the gaps between the stones, and some aquatic plants such as reeds are planted on the edge of the pond, which looks more natural.

A stone cave was built upstream of the stream to provide warmth, shelter and rest for the wolves.

The cave is close to a visit point, and the entrance is slightly slanted to strike a balance between blocking the view and showing it to visitors.

Wolves have strong adaptability and are distributed in various ecological environments, such as forests, deserts, mountains, tundra, coniferous forests...

So the habitat environment can be made a little more complicated.

As for the forest, just use the original trees in this area, add a little more flowers and shrubs, and cover the ground with fallen leaves.

In the mountains, get a bunch of large flat stones and spread them out along the steps of the stream.

Come to a dry sandy area as a desert.

With the help of uneven terrain and stream partitions, each area has distinct layers and is harmoniously integrated.

In this way, the space utilization rate is improved, the content is richer, and the wolves can show more natural behaviors in different scenes!

Swimming in streams, rolling in fallen leaves, watching from afar on rocks, digging pits in sandy areas to blow sand...

Everywhere is wonderful.

Only lv4 can send easter egg stamps, so I can only send pictures like this
