I Have a Safari Park

Yan Ganghui was stunned: "Good guy, an elephant can easily pick up such a big watermelon with its trunk!"

Su Hui was amazed at the intelligence of the elephant: "Wow, it's amazing, you know how to step on it before you eat it!"

Bobo's strength in stepping on watermelon is very measured!

Let the watermelon crack, but it will not become pulpy and inconvenient to eat.

The half-pulled watermelon, which was rolled up and dripped with juice, revealing the sweet red soil, was first brought to the mouth, chewed a little, and then the whole was brought to the mouth, and the mouth moved slowly, slowly chewing.

The wrinkled, old-fashioned face squinted and seemed to be enjoying it.

Put it in your mouth, put your nose in and suck it, as if someone would twitch their fingers after eating potato chips.

Eating a watermelon in summer is very pleasant to quench the heat and thirst.

"Hardcore eat melon!"

"Eating a big watermelon is the same as eating a date!"

"Wow, do you eat watermelon rinds?"

"Of course! There's nothing an elephant can't eat."

"As expected of an elephant!"

Tourists chatted lively.

Someone asked with a smile, "Chief, is this melon ripe?"

Fang Ye chuckled: "I open a zoo, can I give the elephants raw melon eggs?"

After giving the watermelon to Bobo, he took out another one from the bag and handed it to Pingping. Meiling had already eaten the watermelon happily, and by the way, she also took another one for Meilan, and now she will start eating the second one. You are welcome.

Seeing that Meiling was eating watermelon, her nose was pulling the bag, ready to eat the third one, Fang Ye was speechless: "You are eating the watermelon, look at the pot! One elephant is two melons, your portion has already been eaten. It's over!"

He patted Meiling on the nose and took the bag away.

Meiling hesitated for a moment whether to forcibly grab it or not, but after thinking about it, let it go!

Originally in the elephant camp, his temper was quite irritable, and he didn't like humans.

Now, after coming to the zoo, the activity field is quite open. You can walk around freely in it. No one is stopping her by poking her with sharp elephant hooks. This is not good, that is not good. Stay with good friend Mi-ran anytime.

In addition, there will be a mental recovery pill mixed in the daily feed, and gradually the resentment has dissipated a lot, and the temper is not so grumpy.

Every time Fang Ye came over, he brought them delicious food. I don't really want to hurt him.

So he opened his mouth, shouted at Mi-ran in a low voice, stomped his feet, and signaled to go to activities together after eating.

Mei Lan glanced at Mei Ling, her nose stretched out and Fang Ye shook it, and the two elephants gradually walked away.

Meiling walked to the edge of a dirty hollow iron ball, flexibly coiled the ball with her nose, and pushed it for a while.

This is her favorite toy lately!

It turned out that there was a tire in the playground, and she was kicked by the elephant to play with it, but Meiling sat on it and directly crushed the tire.

Recently, a durable iron ball was customized for them to play.

He kicked it lightly with his foot again, and the iron ball rolled on the sand and rolled towards Meilan, who also kicked.

It's like playing football, mainly Meiling is playing, the sand is flying, and she has a lot of fun.

"Elephants can play football too!"

"so cute!"

Pingping watched Meiling play football, as if she wanted to play along, and glanced at Fang Ye.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Pingping, I'll play later when I come back, this will fix your feet!"

To the tourists: "Do you know if you have ever seen an elephant pedicure?"

The tourists were all curious and shook their heads one after another!

"Do elephants still need pedicures? This is really strange, the first time I've heard of it!"

"Why pedicure an elephant?"

Fang Yedao: "Everyone knows that the elephant is the largest land mammal in the world! An adult Asian elephant weighs 3-4 tons.

For such a huge behemoth, all its weight is on its limbs and feet. The health of the feet is very, very important to them. It can be said that a little carelessness can lead to disaster.

It looks like an elephant's foot is ordinary, like a big foot plate. In fact, its foot structure is very fine, with a sponge-like tissue inside, which can cushion the huge pressure from the body when the elephant walks or stands.

The dense nerve tissue can help elephants accurately perceive the ground and finely coordinate the state of their limbs.

Just as our fingernails will grow, so will the toenails of elephants, and the soles of the feet will gradually grow dead skin.

If you don’t take care of it for a long time, the dead skin will be too thick, and the neural perception will become insensitive. When walking, you will not be able to sense pressure and coordinate your limbs well. The toenails are too long, and the elephant seems to be walking on tiptoes, which is very awkward.

In this way, the joints are not evenly stressed, and over a long period of time, it will cause joint deformation and pain, which will bring pain to the elephants.

That's why we're giving elephants a pedicure! "

A tourist asked: "Then why don't wild elephants need pedicures?"

Fang Ye smiled and said: "It's very simple, wild elephants need to find food and water sources, they walk a lot every day, and the growth and wear of their feet and nails are in a state of balance.

But captive elephants walk a lot less. The sand in our playground, plus various enrichment, allows the elephants to walk around and keep moving, just to increase the chance of their natural wear on the soles of their feet.

The same is true for us. We evolved from monkeys. We used to live in trees, and our nails will naturally wear out when we climb trees every day. Inherited this amount of wear and tear, but now there is no place for wear and tear, so you need to cut your nails frequently. "

The example given is very simple and easy to understand, and everyone understands it.

Some tourists look at their nails and think about it. It turns out that this is the case. I never thought about why the nails keep growing!

Fang Yedao: "I'll take Pingping to get a foot pedicure. If you are interested, you can come to the nursing center with you. There is the nursing center."

Touching Pingping's nose, he beckoned: "Pingping, come!"

Walk in front, and follow behind Pingping obediently!

Su Hui was very interested: "Let's go, you can't miss this scene!"

...

Heping came to the nursing center, and the broadcast near the elephant museum also played: "Hello, tourists, the director is preparing to pedicure the elephant at this time, and wants to know how to pedicure the elephant. What do the elephant's feet look like?

If you are curious, you can come to the elephant care center to watch together..."

Tourists are walking outside and need to take a detour and come slower.

There are railings on the outside of the Elephant Care Center. The transparent railings are convenient for tourists to visit. The roof is shaded and looks very stylish.

After a while, seeing that the tourists are almost here, Fang Ye clapped his hands and greeted the breeder Xiao Kong: "Okay, let's start!"

There are also some thin slashes between the two vertical thick railings to prevent the elephant from sticking out its trunk, leaving a rectangular opening in the middle with a height of about 50cm.

Xiao Kong held a slender target stick, pointed at his flat left foot, and pointed at the railing again!

Seeing this, Ping Ping first stretched out his nose, making a small mistake, he retracted his nose consciously, and put his left foot on it.
