I Have a Safari Park

This event has undoubtedly brought about many changes.

Due to social distancing measures, many people stayed at home and did not go out for activities. The use of cars, buses, and railways was also greatly reduced. Within two months, the atmospheric particulate matter in the air was significantly reduced, including other pollutants. emissions.

The air becomes cleaner and all kinds of respiratory diseases are reduced.

There was also a significant drop in noise, and the birds seized the opportunity to sing to their heart's content.

Some people have found that they have never noticed that there are many birds in the city, and have never heard birds sing. Now they can hear the loud singing of birds all day long, as well as the sound of their wings and flight.

Many people are discussing on social media, is it because the birds have been chirping very loudly recently, or is it an illusion caused by being bored at home and having nothing else to do?

In fact, there are scientists who specialize in this.

When Fang Ye was interviewing on TV before, he gave the example of people calling friends across the street. If there are cars coming and going, the voice will naturally increase.

This phenomenon has a name, the Lombard effect.

Originally, the researchers thought, if the ambient noise in the city decreases, will the singing of the birds also decrease?

The results of the study were surprising. Not only did the birds' voices become lower, but the bass became deeper, with a wider range and more information, some of which were never even recorded.

In anthropomorphic terms, their chirping songs became better and more romantic.

For example, in a noisy party, people can only be heard by shouting, and naturally they are not in the mood to sing, but in a quiet and uninhabited garden, it is possible to convey profound discussions or euphemistic love words.

Even if the singing is soft, because the environment becomes quiet, the singing can travel a wider distance, twice as long as usual.

Many people think that the birdsong is getting louder, but it is not that they are singing louder, but that they are hearing more birdsongs, and they can hear four times as many birdsongs as usual.

This year may be the first time in their lives that the birds can communicate without hoarseness.

Become quiet, in addition to land and sea.

Marine ecologists say that after the cruise ships alone stopped, the world's ocean noise decreased immediately, which was unprecedented in the past few decades.

Noise from boats and other marine vehicles increases stress hormone levels in marine organisms, which in turn affects their reproductive success. Cetaceans even learn to suspend their singing when a cargo ship approaches and resume it when the ship is gone.

This year is probably the quietest and most comfortable time for these cetaceans to migrate during the migration process. They don't have to worry about being disturbed by boat noise, being chased, or being disoriented by sonar interference.

In the words of the researchers, nature breathes a sigh of relief when we hold our breath.

Nature is a never-ending book, and most people are self-righteous after reading only a few pages of it. This lack of knowledge about nature, high-level attitudes, and various prejudices are also the reasons why people do not know how to treat nature kindly. .

After such a disaster, it is also the best time for people to reset their attitudes and understand nature.

After the TV interview, Fang Ye had some ideas.

He has been planning to build an urban animal exhibition area, but the idea is not very mature, and it is slowly brewing.

In the local animal exhibition area, the theme is the animals living on the land of Linhai. It pays more attention to grasping the changes in the history of animals, how they used to be, what changes they have experienced, and how they are now, which arouses people's thinking about their future.

In the urban animal exhibition area, the theme is the relationship between wild animals and people in the city.

There are actually many wild animals in the city, which are very close to people, but people don't usually pay attention to them.

Like the bats this time, people know very little about bats, and they have never noticed the existence of bats in cities.

I don't know why they look like this and what to do when they see bats.

In exceptional circumstances, wrong responses may be made.

Let the citizens understand them objectively and rationally, and carry out related popular science disenchantment. This is something that a zoo should come forward and take the initiative to undertake.

Most animals like bats never get the attention they deserve, but their role in the ecosystem is irreplaceable.

In the future, an urban animal exhibition area can be built, and a bat pavilion can be established.

But we have to wait until the epidemic is over, and now the environment is too sensitive.

There are also bird strikes, stray cats and stray dogs, which are also problems often faced in cities.

The urban animal exhibition area currently considers these aspects. After visiting, tourists can think about how to get along with the animals around them, how to build a better ecological city and make their living environment better.

...

The zoo is deserted!

Originally there were not many tourists, and after receiving a notice from the superior, the park was closed in January.

Announcements were released simultaneously on the official account and Weibo, and tourists who have purchased tickets online can get refunds.

The fans of the zoo also expressed their understanding and support.

"The tickets you have already bought will not be refunded, don't starve the animals!"

"When the park opens, I will go to see the cute little animals again, and it will definitely get better."

"Come on, let's get through this together! If you're short of money, remember to call us to donate."

The messages are still very warm.

Linhai Zoo's funds are still very abundant, and it can last for more than half a year. It is far from embarrassed enough to need donation support.

However, the animals in the zoo can't see the tourists, so there is a problem with loneliness!

Like a project animal that is often in contact with tourists, Kazilan is the most beautiful alpaca in the zoo, with white fur, big eyes and long eyelashes, and is very popular with tourists.

Usually every day, it is called and hugged, and a bunch of tourists take pictures around it and feed it.

Kazilan gives the impression of being elegant and ladylike, and rarely asks for food from others, because it is the first to be fed every day.

Now he looks unhappy, eating is not fragrant, he has no appetite, and he is always looking in the direction of the zoo square.

Why don't tourists come here now? Don't they all like me?

Because of the alpaca walking activities, other alpacas can go out for a walk from time to time, nibble on the grass on the roadside, look at the fresh scenery, and say hello to other animals. Now they can only be bored in the shed. Also uncomfortable.

More or less seemed a little unhappy.

Of course, there are those who are completely unaffected. Brother Aotian is still staring into the distance with a cool attitude every day, and he is quite disdainful of the performance of his companions.
