I Have a Safari Park - Chapter 714
Latest website: This incident undoubtedly brought many changes.
Because of social distancing measures, many people stay at home and do not go out for activities. The use of vehicles, buses, and railways has also been greatly reduced. Within two months, the atmospheric particulate matter in the air has been significantly reduced, including other pollution. Emissions of waste.
The air becomes cleaner, and there are fewer respiratory diseases.
The noise also dropped significantly, and the birds seized the opportunity and began to sing to their heart’s content.
Some people have discovered that they have never noticed that there are many birds in the city. They have never heard the birds sing. Now they can hear the loud singing of the birds and the sound of their wings flying all day long.
A lot of people are discussing on social media, is it because the birds are so loud recently, or are they so bored at home that they have nothing else to do?
In fact, there are scientists who specialize in this matter.
When Fang Ye was interviewing on TV, he cited the example of people calling friends across the street. If cars come and go, their voice will naturally increase.
This phenomenon has a name, the Lombard effect.
Originally, the researchers thought, if the environmental noise in the city is reduced, will the singing of the birds also be reduced?
The results of the research were quite unexpected. Not only did the bird’s voice become lower, but the bass became deeper, the range was wider, and more information was conveyed. Some bass were never even recorded.
In terms of anthropomorphic rhetoric, their chirping songs have become better and more romantic.
For example, shouting can be heard at a noisy party. Naturally, you are not in the mood to sing. Only in a quiet and unoccupied garden can it be possible to convey profound discussions or euphemistic love words.
Even if the singing voice is soft, because the environment becomes quiet, the distance that these singing voices can travel is wider, reaching twice as much as usual.
Many people think that the sound of birdsong becomes louder. In fact, it is not because they call louder, but because they hear more birdsong, and you can hear four times as many birdsong as usual.
This year may be the first time these birds can communicate without being hoarse.
Become quiet, in addition to land and ocean.
Marine ecologists said that after the suspension of cruise ships alone, the global ocean noise was immediately reduced, which was unprecedented in the past few decades.
The noise produced by ships and other maritime vehicles will increase the level of stress hormones of marine organisms, which in turn will affect the success rate of their reproduction. Cetaceans even learn to stop singing when the cargo ship approaches and wait for the ship to leave before continuing.
This year is probably also the quietest and most comfortable time for these whales and dolphins during their migration. Don’t worry about being disturbed by ship noise, don’t worry about being chased, or getting disoriented by sonar interference.
In the words of the researcher, nature breathed a sigh of relief when we held our breath.
Nature is a never-ending book, and most people are self-righteous after only a few pages. This lack of knowledge about nature, a superior attitude, and various prejudices are also the reasons why people don’t know how to treat nature well. .
After such a disaster, it is also the best time for people to reform their attitudes and understand nature.
After the TV interview, Fang Ye had some ideas.
He has always planned to open an urban animal exhibition area, but the idea is not very mature and is slowly brewing.
The theme of the local animal exhibition area is the animals living in the land near the sea. It pays more attention to grasping the changes in animal history, how they were in the past, how they have undergone changes, and how they are now, triggering people to think about their future.
In the urban animal exhibition area, the theme is the relationship between wild animals and people in the city.
In fact, there are many wild animals in the city, very close to people, but people usually don’t pay attention to them.
Like this bat, people know very little about bats, and they have never noticed the existence of bats in the city.
I don’t know why they grow up like this, what should I do when I see bats.
In special circumstances, the wrong response may be made.
Let the citizens get to know them objectively and rationally and carry out related popular science disenchantment. This is something that a zoo should stand up for and take the initiative.
Most animals like bats have never received 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 hall can be built.
But we have to wait for the epidemic to end. Now the environment is too sensitive.
There are also bird strikes, stray cats, stray dogs, these are also common problems in cities.
The urban animal exhibition area is currently considering these aspects. After visiting, visitors 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, but I received a notice from the superior that the park was closed in January.
Announcements were simultaneously issued on the official account and Weibo, and tourists who have already purchased tickets online can receive refunds.
Fans of the zoo also expressed their understanding and support.
“Tickets that have already been bought are not refundable, don’t starve the animals!”
“When the park opens, I will see the cute animals again, and it will definitely get better.”
“Come on, let’s tide over the difficulties together! If you are short of money, remember to call us to donate.”
The various messages are still very heartwarming.
Linhai Zoo’s funds are still abundant, and it’s not a problem to support it for more than half a year, and it is far from embarrassing to the extent that it needs donations to support it.
However, the animals in the zoo can’t see the tourists, but there is a problem with loneliness!
Like the project animal that often comes into contact with tourists, Kazilan, as the most beautiful alpaca in the zoo, has a white fur, big eyes and long eyelashes, and is very popular with tourists.
Usually every day, they hug it from the front to the back. A bunch of tourists gather around it to take pictures and feed it.
Kazilan has an elegant and ladylike impression and seldom asks for food from others, because it is the first to be fed every day.
Now it looks depressed, eating is not fragrant, and has no appetite, always looking madly in the direction of the zoo square.
Why are tourists not coming now? Don’t they all like me?
Because of the activities of alpaca walking, other alpacas can go out and take a walk from time to time, nibble on the grass on the side of the road, look at the fresh scenery, and say hello to other animals. Now they can only stay in the pen. It’s also uncomfortable.
More or less unhappy.
Of course, there are also those who are completely unaffected. Brother Aotian still stares into the distance with a cool attitude every day, and is quite disdainful of the performance of his companions.
It’s too lonely!
