I Have a Safari Park

"Come on, eh, why did it fall again?"

"Haha, Azi who doesn't look very smart!"

"The crested ibis' long mouth is like a pair of chopsticks."

"Hmm, it feels like it's holding soybeans with chopsticks. It's quite difficult."

The two loli watched the crested ibis eat the loach with relish and commented from time to time.

Come to the zoo to see animals, what kind of performance do you need? The natural behavior of animals is the most exciting show.

Of course, tourists are also required to have the patience to wait and observe, and the visit will naturally feel very boring.

At this time, a few crested ibis flew over from a distance with their wings raised flat.

"Ah~Ah~"

While flying, it made a high and melodious chirping.

Tang Xiaoxin's eyes widened immediately, wanting to marvel and covering her mouth, for fear that the loud noise would scare them away!

The crested ibis flying in the face, with wide wings spread, the edges of the wings are bright white like pearls, followed by a touch of orange-red, like the dip of light pink peach blossoms and red rouge, elegant and charming.

When the sun shines, it emits a faint red light, and it seems that several elves are dancing under the blue sky!

It landed on the ground, its wings closed, and it returned to its grayish appearance.

Pacing in the shallows with your companions, rummaging through the mud for loaches with long beaks.

Tang Xiaoxin let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "Oh, it's so beautiful!"

Qian Keke came back to his senses and was very excited: "I was stunned when they flew over just now!"

A tourist wearing a hat next to him looked at the crested ibis and seemed to sigh.

He said to his companion, "Have you read "The Last Words of the Crested Ibis"?"

The companion shook his head: "I heard of it, but I haven't seen it!"

The man in the hat said, "The book I just bought! It tells a story about the extinction of the crested ibis in Japan.

The protagonist is called Chunxiong, and his biggest hobby is to look for and observe crested ibis. However, the number of crested ibis is very small in Japan, and he is very vigilant and rarely seen. Then he did a series of investigations about crested ibis.

Crested ibis were often caught and eaten, and their feathers were made into handicrafts. During the war, people cut down trees on a large scale and burned them into charcoal, and the habitat of crested ibis was also greatly reduced.

Haruo's investigation seemed to have dozens of crested ibis left in Japan at that time, and there were very few of them anyway.

When it comes to attention, it is too late to protect. There is also controversy about whether to protect the habitat of crested ibis in situ or to capture them and raise them in captivity. The first few individuals in captivity have all died.

Moreover, the rapid development of Japan's economy will also bring a series of environmental problems. Do you know Minamata disease? A crested ibis died less than a year after being caught and raised. The corpse was autopsied, and it was found that high concentrations of pesticides and mercury remained in the body.

When the last five were left, the Japanese government decided to catch them all and breed them in captivity. As a result, they failed to breed successfully, and they died without leaving any offspring. "

The companion sighed sadly: "Hey~ many animals disappeared without knowing it. I heard that giraffes are now endangered. Should the crested ibis in China be okay?"

The hat man added: "Actually, our crested ibis are also in critical condition. At that time, the number dropped sharply and there was no record for decades. It took three years to find them in Yangxian County, and when they were found, there were only 7 left!

There are only seven single seedlings left, and they may become extinct in a year or two without being discovered, just think about it. "

The companion couldn't help asking: "Lucky enough! How many are there now?"

"There are now 5,000!"

The companion said sincerely: "It's amazing, it's a miracle!"

The hat man said: "We learned the lessons of the Japanese crested ibis and protected their habitat on the spot.

It is forbidden to use pesticides and fertilizers in the local fields, and the mines are not allowed to be mined. In winter, a certain paddy field is reserved for the crested ibis to forage for food, which allows the crested ibis population to multiply and grow again.

There was also news before that it was sentenced to ten years for killing a crested ibis with a slingshot. Think about how strong this protection is. "

"Tsk tsk, you deserve it!"

The two little loli were on the side, and when I heard the crested ibis have grown from 7 to 5,000, I couldn't help but feel excited!

This can be called a legendary history of a species.

In fact, next to the crested ibis exhibition area, there are several exhibition signs that introduce this!

Looking at the world, it is also a very remarkable protection case.

The above is more detailed. In addition to the miracle history of the revival of crested ibis, there are also the changes they brought to Yangxian and the hidden troubles behind the miracle.

After all, all of them were reproduced from those 7 animals. The genetic diversity is very small, and they cannot adapt to the complex environment. The prosperity of the population is actually very fragile, and it is possible that a large-scale infectious disease will all die.

In the shoal outside, a few crested ibis, after foraging for food, flapped their wings and flew to the trees.

The two stood next to each other on a tree branch, their necks were tied together, and they used their beaks to groom each other's hair. At first glance, they were a loving couple.

A single crested ibis stared intently at them, looking envious!

The crested ibis couple was stared at for a long time, of course they noticed this scene and looked at each other.

Wife, the young man across from you has been staring at you, does it feel like you have any bad thoughts?

Husband, don't worry, I only love you one!

Come, let's show it love! Let it know that our love is stronger than gold!

Suddenly, the male crested ibis jumped on the back of the female crested ibis.

Qian Keke immediately became excited: "Hey, are they going to mate!"

Tang Xiaoxin wondered: "Isn't it? The mating period should have passed."

I saw the male crested ibis spread its wings on the back of the female crested ibis, flapping one by one rhythmically, swinging its tail back and forth, and at the same time drooping its head, swaying from side to side, and fluttering its long beak.

The female crested ibis also cooperated with it, her head dangling, and the long beaks of the two crested ibis touched each other, as if they were kissing fiercely.

The young crested ibis who observed them turned their heads in shame!

The male crested ibis jumped back onto the tree trunk again, with its wings folded, and looked at the female crested ibis affectionately.

The two crested ibis then tacitly leaned slightly to the outside at the same time, raised their heads gracefully while maintaining synchronization, opened their mouths and chirped.

Nearby tourists, although the species are not the same, they naturally understand the meaning of this move!

"Wow, are they showing affection?"

"Damn it, even a bird will be fed a mouthful of dog food!"

"It's absolutely amazing!"

After watching the crested ibis play, Tang Xiaoxin and the others strolled around again in the Hexuan.

On the Red-crowned Crane Square, melodious music was played on the radio, accompanied by the flying of the cranes in the lake, which looked beautiful.

"There is also a group of red-crowned cranes, flying gently, gently~"

When tourists stood in front of the statue and checked the deeds of the red-crowned crane girl, the music suddenly sounded, which was still very tearful.

Tang Xiaoxin curiously asked the breeder: "Which red-crowned crane was that that flew to the Tiger Pavilion a while ago?"

The breeder pointed, a majestic red-crowned crane in the water, walking with outstretched wings, looking left and right: "Here, it's it!"

Originally thought that going to the tiger pavilion, if frightened, he might become stressed and sick, so he opened a small stove for it.

In the end, I don't know if Fang Ye's appeasement effect is too good. After coming back, he seems to feel that he is invincible in the world. He is arrogant and arrogant when walking.
