I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 459 King Cobra and Ball Python

With its emerald green color, delicately arranged scales, and graceful temperament, Shi Xi immediately thought of the green dragon in mythology!

If there really is a Qinglong, it should be like this, right?

It's just that this snake is relatively small, with only two or three fingers thick, which is not much bigger than the pig-nosed snake. If it is bigger, it will be more powerful.

Lu Ye said with a smile: "This is the Scale Tree Viper! It is also a very beautiful snake, with very bright and changeable colors. The origin is the tropical rainforest in central and western Africa."

The teammate asked curiously: "Hey, why are its eyes white?"

Lu Ye explained: "Its eyes are not usually like this, but they are shedding skin recently, so the eyes appear to have a fuzzy white layer.

Snake's eyes are always protected by a transparent and hard cuticle, which feels like a glass ball, so snakes have no eyelids and won't blink.

When they sleep, their pupils will narrow into a line, which looks like their eyes are closed. Blindfolding is the process of fading the eye epidermis. "

In the process of walking forward, I saw a large exhibition hall with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters.

There are a bunch of bamboo shrubs arranged inside, there are some relatively thin arrow bamboos, and relatively thick bamboo poles, which are purely for decoration after cutting.

The ground is planted with ferns, covered with dry yellow bamboo leaves and fallen leaves, and some stones are distributed among them.

Some places have dense green plants, while others are relatively sparse and scattered, creating a quiet bamboo forest environment.

The back of this exhibition hall was also painted on the wall by Zhuang Xiaobai and the others. There is a deep and green bamboo forest with a small stream flowing in the middle, which harmoniously integrates with the real bamboo forest environment in front.

Although the general exhibition box environment is already very good, it is obviously not comparable to the environment of such a large exhibition hall.

Shi Xi looked at the exhibition hall and saw no creatures for a long time, feeling strange.

Lu Ye seemed to see her doubts and explained, "There is a king cobra in this exhibition hall! It's just that I usually like to stay in the bushes and don't come out to meet people."

Shi Xi exclaimed: "King Cobra!"

Hearing the name sounds awesome.

The teammate asked: "King Cobra, is it the most powerful cobra?"

Lu Ye introduced: "The king cobra, also known as kc, crosses the mountain wind! It is a very ferocious and agile venomous snake, one of the top ten venomous snakes in China.

and cobras are both in the cobra family, but it is a separate genus of king cobras.

It is the longest venomous snake in the world. It can grow up to 3 meters in adults, and the highest record is 5.85 meters.

Why is the king cobra very ferocious? Its Latin scientific name means "snake eater". Its prey is mainly other snakes, even poisonous snakes. Lizard birds these. "

"Wow!"

Shi Xi and his teammates covered their mouths in shock.

This snake is too fierce, it eats all the same kind.

Looking at the exhibition hall, Lu Ye wanted to see such a ferocious snake. Seeing this, Lu Ye smiled and said, "It's not easy to see the king cobra. It may only come out for a few minutes or ten minutes every day."

Shi Xi said with a pity: "Ah, then if you want to see it, you really have to be very lucky."

The teammate wondered: "It's only been out for such a short time, so why don't you remove the bushes and stones? Can't you see it at any time?"

Lu Ye said with a smile: "When animals are looked at, they also feel pressured. The purpose of the arrangement of shrubs is to provide shelter and allow them to have a choice.

For animals that don’t show up often, we also have AR glasses, and you can see the video of animal activities by scanning the QR code next to them. Want to try it? "

Shi Xi was surprised: "So advanced!"

I took the AR glasses and tried them on. The video was obviously shot in this exhibition hall environment. I saw a king cobra with black scales and a dark luster. looking outside.

Then his head gradually extended and lowered, his neck fell to the ground, and he slowly swam out.

I don't know if it is against the background of the bamboo forest, the dark green is faintly revealed in the black scales, and there are also conspicuous white lines.

The muscle lines are very graceful. When winding forward, the head is always raised, keeping some distance from the ground.

When he came to a small withered tree, his head gradually rose to a height of one meter and climbed to the tree.

Shi Xi looked at it and returned the AR glasses.

Although she is not so afraid of snakes now, she can even admire it with joy, but it is only limited to beautiful and cute snakes!

Like the silly pig-nosed snake, the beautiful and delicate scale tree viper, the king cobra is not in her range of appreciation.

Moreover, the clarity of AR glasses to watch videos is not as good as that of mobile phones, but there is an extra atmosphere in front of the environment of the exhibition box.

Therefore, tourists who like to visit the two climbing halls would rather not use AR glasses and run over many times, just to wait to see the scene of the King Cobra coming out.

However, those tourists who come here occasionally want to see the scenes of animal activities, and do not have so much time to squat repeatedly. With such AR glasses, they can leave contentedly.

Under the leadership of Lu Ye, he came to a showcase.

The bottom of the box is covered with coarse-grained sandy soil, scattered with some millennium trees with narrow leaves like grass, raised termite mounds, and small trees without leaves, giving a dry feeling of African savanna.

Inside was a bright yellow snake with a little white streak and clear red eyes.

The length of the body is more than one meter, the head and tail are slender, the waist and abdomen are as thick as arms, and it curls up quietly beside the termite mound.

Shi Xi was surprised: "What kind of snake is this, and it's pretty!"

"This is an albino ball python!"

"Albino?"

While opening the box, Lu Ye explained: "Albinism is not albino without any pigment, but albino lacking melanin, showing white and yellow, and even a small amount of red or orange.

Because pig-nosed snakes and ball pythons are relatively mature pet snakes, they have bred many beautiful color strains. Like the previous pig-nosed snake, it is also albino, with red eyes.

Well, but pythons are protected animals in our country and are not allowed to be raised privately.

Your reward today is to clean the display box of this ball python and slap the ball python. I won't do it this time, you can get it yourself. "

Shi Xi cautiously said: "Okay, I'll try it!"

First, he stretched out his hand, kept some distance, and said hello softly, "Hello?"

This ball python is often used as a project animal to be touched by tourists, which is very accustomed to it.

Smelling the unfamiliar smell, instead of being afraid, he spit out a letter and leaned up slowly.

Seeing this, Shi Xi was relieved a lot!

He took the ball python out of his arms and wrapped it around his neck.

"Hehe" smiled and took a selfie with a selfie stick!

Going to the gym twice, not only eliminated my stereotype of snakes, but also improved a lot of posture, and also licked snakes, which is indeed a good reward!

From this point of view, the last place in the bamboo shoot-picking competition is not bad.
