I Have a Safari Park

Fang Ye and the others got off the plane at 9:00 in the morning, and it was almost 10:00 when they arrived at the rescue center.

It took almost 4 hours for the elephant to enter the cage, hoist it a few times and load it into the car, reinforce and transport the cage and feed it.

That's what behavioral training is all about!

The training started two months in advance, so that the elephants are familiar with a set of procedures for entering the transport cage. Today, when the actual transport is carried out, he walked into the cage and actively cooperated with the breeder to operate, saving a lot of things.

To cross the sea, you need to take the ferry across the Qiongzhou Strait. Only the driver is allowed to wait in the car, and the others need to check in at the waiting hall to board the ship.

Fang Ye and the others lined up to enter the cabin from the passage of people. The other side below is the passage of cars, and trucks and cars slowly drove in.

There is a mother in front, holding the child's hand and leading him forward.

As the child walked, he looked out from the railing curiously and saw the truck with elephants. His eyes widened in surprise, and he pulled his mother's hand vigorously: "Mom! Elephant!"

"There's no elephant here, let's go..."

The child insisted: "It's really an elephant! Don't pull me, I want to see an elephant!"

Mom was helpless: "Hey, I want to see the elephant take you to the zoo someday!"

The child was dragged reluctantly forward by his mother, and his eyes reluctantly watched as the truck loaded with elephants entered the cabin.

Fang Ye smiled and said nothing to the breeder at the back.

Sitting on the ferry, tourists blow the humid sea breeze on the upper deck, enjoy the sea view outside, and take out their mobile phones to take pictures!

It never occurred to them that there was another special passenger on the lower deck one deck away from them.

Pingping experienced the panic of being hoisted by the cage at first, but this meeting has calmed down a lot and stayed in the cage safely.

After getting on the boat, the huge head also turned around and looked curiously at the seascape outside.

Fang Ye was on the deck, looked at the sea for a while and then went back.

To tell the truth, there is no imagined beauty!

The sun in the afternoon is the hottest. It shines on the undulating sea, and the golden light flickers. After looking at it for a long time, it stabbed people's eyes.

Soon, the ferry crossed the sea.

Fang Ye and the others sat in the buns and followed the flat truck all the way to Linhai.

Every time the road is repaired, it can attract a bunch of melon eaters to gather to watch.

"Fuck, what kind of joke is this, Elephant?"

"Good guy, this looks much better than the one on TV!"

There are even those with flexible brains, who turn on their mobile phones on the spot, take a video, and prepare to send it to Douyin Kuaishou.

The scene of transporting elephants is not common!

Brother Zhong fed Pingping with fruit and fodder, and Fang Ye was also resting, came to see Pingping's state.

Jumped into the car and shouted with a smile, "Pingping!"

Ping Ping's big head turned around and looked at him!

Fang Ye took an apple and handed it over: "Come and eat an apple."

When she took the apple, she touched its nose by the way.

Brother Zhong smiled and said, "Everyone likes elephants, and few people can resist contact with elephants."

Fang Ye heard the breath of the story and asked curiously, "Can you tell me?"

Brother Zhong pondered for a while and said: "I read a photo book when I was a child, called "My Wild Animal Friends", in which a little girl Tippi was in close contact with leopards, elephants, ostriches, and various wild animals. I was very shocked when I was young, and I felt that this was the best connection between humans and animals.

Later, I gradually realized the shallowness of this idea. Elephants are considered by the public to be docile giants, but in the world, elephants kill people and harm people every day, and there are tragic conflicts between people and elephants. "

Fang Ye nodded: "Indeed!"

People who love animals yearn for a close and friendly relationship with wild animals.

However, wild animals are not domestic pets. The reality is very cruel, and the relationship between people and animals is not so good.

Playing lions and tigers like him is a special case, not the norm.

And it's only in the zoo that this is done. The best way to get along in the wild is to not interfere.

"Because I like elephants and study elephants, I worked as a volunteer at the elephant camp for a while. In fact, volunteering is just a project to make money. At that time, I met someone who also volunteered and liked elephants very much. girl. She also took part in a mahout training course.

The elephant in the elephant camp is called Tudou. Tudou is a very dangerous elephant. He slapped the camp owner with his trunk, and the staff included me. Once he shook the mahout and broke his leg and was rested for four years. In the past month, he also stepped on and kicked two other mahouts.

Although I introduced her to the dangers of potatoes, she stopped chatting with me after the first introduction. She prefers what the camp owner said, that elephants like to be stroked and cuddled.

The girl ignored the protection facilities and liked to get close to the potato. Every time the potato pushed her, she felt like playing with her and laughed happily.

A few times when I tried to help Tudou break up the elephant grass and give it water, Tutu rudely took the food out of her hand and almost dragged her down, and when she asked for food, she almost used it. Hit her with the nose, and then her smile will disappear, revealing a puzzled expression.

When she thought about it, people love animals, and animals can feel it, and they will love people, and will not hurt people.

In fact, elephants do not need human help at all. The reason the elephant doesn't hurt her is simple because she doesn't get in the way of her food and she's afraid of being beaten.

According to my estimates in the elephant camp, less than 1% of the population will accept the safety of elephants. In fact, a considerable proportion of captive elephants have tuberculosis, which is two-way contagious with humans. So far I have not met a person who can touch but not want to touch an elephant. "

Fang Ye sighed: "Elephants are indeed very attractive animals. Such a behemoth has legs and pillars that are thicker than people's. Who wouldn't want to touch it?"

Brother Zhong's experience is quite rich, and he only came to the rescue center last year.

From the words, I can feel that he really likes elephants.

Fang Ye chatted with him and listened to his stories about encountering some elephants, while feeding Pingping.

After resting and replenishing, the car continued on the road.

Finally, at 8 am on the 18th, I arrived at the zoo.

On the zoo's public account, the news of going to greet the elephants was announced in advance. Some media reporters and many tourists were waiting at the entrance of the zoo. When they saw the truck approaching, they were instantly refreshed: "Come on, come on!"

The reporters took pictures with a "click, click", and some tourists bought flowers specially, held them in their hands and shook them with smiles. They seemed very happy with the arrival of the elephants: "Welcome! Welcome to the Linhai Zoo!"

Some tourists also asked curiously: "Hey, why does it look a little red? Isn't the elephant grayish?"

"...I don't know, maybe it was from the sun?"
