I Have a Safari Park

"Hey, there are so many people here!"

Tang Xiaoxin looked at the panda in front of the fence and suddenly felt a little stuffy.

He turned his head blankly and was startled, and before he knew it, there were people around him.

Originally, there were relatively few people on the upper platform, but as time passed, the number of tourists in the panda pavilion gradually increased, and many tourists came up.

"Let's go shopping elsewhere!" Mother Tang suggested.

There would be so many people, and the pandas started eating bamboo and didn't play anymore.

Dad Tang was still a little reluctant to part, and he felt that overlooking the panda house on the upper floor, the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.

Especially at the dividing point in the middle, you can see two pandas living on one side, one eating bamboo and the other playing. There is a wonderful sense of harmony between the moving pandas, the stationary venues, and the flowing tourists outside.

Expressed his own opinion: "Pandas need their own territorial space. You see, these two pandas, one male and one male, live on both sides of the exhibition hall without interfering with each other. We tourists are outside, they are inside, and we also keep a distance from the pandas. , this is more harmonious, isn't it?"

Tang Xiaoxin was surprised: "Dad, you are still a philosopher! You can see so much when you look at an exhibition hall."

She didn't think about it so much, but it made sense to hear what Dad said!

Returning to the lower floor, I thought about it and said: "You can stroll around the neighborhood first to see other animals, I want to see the display cards here!"

Tang Ma glanced at the panda restaurant next to her and said, "Okay, then let's come over at 10 o'clock and have a meal at the panda restaurant!"

"Have you eaten so early? It's too early, you're not hungry yet."

Dad Tang agreed: "If you want to eat here, you have to be early. If you are late, there will be no seats. There are so many people today."

Tang Xiaoxin was strolling in front of the popular science exhibition card and saw a conspicuous exhibition card with a cute picture of a panda lying on a tree, with the caption: "Beauty is justice!"

The sign reads: "People are always fascinated by beautiful things, and high-value animals are called 'flagship species' in conservation biology.

Relying on their naive appearance, pandas are loved by the public and become stars in the animal world. There are also polar bears, elephants, finless porpoises, golden monkeys, tigers, snow leopards and more, all of which are flagship animals.

Compared with complex ecological concepts, flagship species are more appealing, can attract public attention, attract public support and even join conservation actions.

Scientists have found that high-value animals in a zoo can raise 46 times more donations than low-value animals! "

Tang Xiaoxin couldn't help complaining: "Wow, it's really a face-to-face world, it's too realistic."

"Concepts corresponding to flagship species, but also cornerstone species and umbrella species, indicative species.

Keystone species, also known as key species, are key players in the ecosystem, such as the pika on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!

In the past 20 to 30 years, pikas have been regarded as pests, which has promoted the desertification of the land. After large-scale poisoning, a large number of pikas have died, and many raptors that prey on pikas have also eaten poisonous individuals. And die.

Later, it was discovered that after the pika digs the soil, the seepage and permeability of the soil will be greatly improved, and the surface runoff will be reduced, which can reduce the probability of soil erosion and flooding, and make the grassland ecosystem healthier. In fact, human overgrazing caused grassland degradation.

The role of umbrella species is to protect and shelter other species.

A species can play different roles at the same time. For example, the giant panda is both a flagship species and an umbrella species.

96% of the giant panda habitats coincide with the distribution hotspots of endemic species in my country. The giant panda is like an umbrella. While people protect the giant panda, animals in other habitats are also blessed.

Indicator species can reflect changes in the environment, the composition of ecological communities..."

Tang Xiaoxin was stunned: "So that's how it is!"

She had also seen some people say what is the use of protecting giant pandas before, and she was also a little confused, but now she finally understands.

Animals such as pikas, wolves, and wild boars, although they play a very important role in the ecosystem, are not good-looking. Ordinary people just don't like them, and even regard them as pests.

Giant pandas and green peacocks, such as beautiful animals, can attract people's attention, facilitate publicity and protection work, and increase public awareness of environmental protection. It can also be used as an umbrella to shelter other animals.

Although the title of the exhibition board reads "Face is justice", it is actually telling tourists not to just look at appearance and decide their likes and dislikes towards animals.

Tang Xiaoxin was a little touched, and after pondering for a moment, she started walking again.

...

ten o'clock!

Tang Xiaoxin and her parents got together again and came to the panda restaurant.

Sure enough, as Tang Ma guessed, there are already many tourists dining at this time, and I am afraid that there will be no seats later.

As soon as I came in, I smelled a faint aroma that lingered on the nose.

"smell good!"

Tang Xiaoxin felt very strange. Before she left in the morning, she ate a basket of buns and drank a cup of soy milk. She was not hungry at all, but when she smelled the aroma, she couldn't help drooling, and suddenly she had an appetite.

Picking a place to sit down, Dad Tang scanned the QR code on the table and couldn't wait to start ordering.

Tang's mother straightened up, looked left and right, and quietly looked at other people's tables: "Why is this dish so delicious?"

There is also a table next to the table with children to play!

On the table is a plate of potato balls, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of stewed chicken with potatoes, a plate of bamboo shoots...

Mother Tang suddenly found something wrong and wondered for a while: "Why are there so many potatoes? How can there be such an order?"

But looking at other people's children and adults, they all eat deliciously, showing a very intoxicated expression, and the other table is also potatoes!

"Lying c..."

Dad Tang opened the ordering interface and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

Tang's mother turned her head and leaned over: "What's the matter?"

But then she was also shocked!

The positioning of the Panda restaurant is at the upper-middle level. A family can order a few meals and eat three or four hundred yuan.

It’s not as affordable as the Animal Restaurant. A single set meal costs about forty, and it’s not as expensive as the Lion Restaurant. If you want to eat better, order a few steaks and barbecues, and you can easily spend thousands of dollars.

However, because of the potatoes sent by Fang Ye, the prices of the dishes have changed a bit...

Potato Braised Chicken Nuggets: 78

Potato Braised Chicken Nuggets Deluxe: 188

Potato Balls Deluxe: 288

“Waiter waiter!”

The waiter of the restaurant came over and said with a smile, "Hello, do you have any needs?"

Dad Tang pointed to the stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes on the menu, and said very puzzled: "Hey, what's the difference between your deluxe version of stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes and the regular version, and why is it so expensive?"

The waiter said respectfully: "Because the potatoes are organic potatoes grown by our gardener! The taste is very good, healthy, natural and pollution-free."

Dad Tang showed a surprised and tangled expression: "Potatoes planted by your gardener?"

It is understandable that organic potatoes are a little more expensive, but why are they so expensive! Is it because the gardener planted it? It is also described as wonderful.

I ordered some potato balls again: "Then why are potato balls more expensive than stewed chicken nuggets!?"

The waiter said honestly: "Because of the potato balls, the potatoes use more ingredients!"
