I Have a Safari Park - Chapter 736
The hippopotamus opened its mouth to its widest, about the same height as the upper body of a breeder sitting by the pool.
It feels like you can swallow the breeder in one bite!
The keeper’s arm was poking around in the hippo’s mouth, which made the tourists squeeze a sweat.
“God, this mouth is so big!”
“If the hippo’s mouth is closed, the arm is not directly bitten off.”
Another breeder explained outside: “Don’t worry, we usually take care of hippos and conduct behavioral training. Hippos are familiar with this operation. Cleaning their teeth and removing food residues is also very comfortable, so we will not attack the breeding. member.”
Someone asked curiously: “Why do hippos have to brush their teeth? Will they decay if they don’t? Who brush their teeth in the wild?”
“I remember in the wild in Africa, there seemed to be a small bird of the Egyptian plover, nicknamed the toothpick bird, that would flick the hippopotamus! There is no Egyptian plover in the zoo, so I can only rely on the breeder.”
“Huh, didn’t you floss the crocodile’s teeth?”
Tang Xiaoxin said: “Anyway, I know that flossing the crocodile’s teeth is fake, and the crocodile doesn’t need to fetch the teeth at all.”
The breeder said: “In the wild there are not Egyptian plovers picking their teeth. Egyptian plovers mainly eat insects or other aquatic animals. The staple food of hippos is plants. What do they eat in their mouths? This is better than crocodile picking their teeth. Even less reliable…
In fact, it is a food problem. The feed eaten in the zoo is finer, and there are various sugar-rich fruits. Food residues are more prone to tooth decay, so we need our breeders to help them brush their teeth. “
“Oh~”
Everyone made a sudden sound.
The breeder carefully checked the fat mouth, especially the roots of the teeth.
Then he patted the chubby upper lip and made a “piapia” sound!
Fatty suddenly opened his mouth to its largest!
The breeder soaked the brush in the water, and then brushed the hippopotamus.
Swipe left and right, Fatty closed his eyes and behaved very well!
“It looks so enjoyable!”
“Haha, I feel like falling asleep!”
“If you see it, hippopotamus also brush your teeth. If you don’t brush your teeth, your teeth will become black and yellow. You have to brush your teeth every day, don’t you know?”
Some parents take this opportunity to educate their children.
It was over in about a minute or two. The breeder touched its teeth, checked the cleanliness, and gently rubbed it to make an oral spa.
Then he took out some foods such as sweet potatoes and pumpkins and put them in Fatty’s mouth as a reward for coordinating with brushing teeth.
He patted his chubby upper lip, knowing he was done brushing, he closed his mouth and chewed twice, then slowly sank into the water.
“Eat after brushing your teeth, pay attention to it!”
“As long as you don’t shit, hippos are still cute!”
The tourists were very happy to watch and applauded.
…
The rice fields in the Vernacular Exhibition Area have just been irrigated in the past two days, but rice has not been planted yet.
Due to the epidemic, this period of farming activities was naturally cancelled, and the zoo employees would then plant them themselves.
When Tang Xiaoxin walked through the rice fields, she suddenly rejoiced: “Hey, Dragonfly!”
There are a few dragonflies hovering lightly in mid-air. Their crystal-clear and translucent wings show a colorful metallic luster under the sunlight, and their stomachs are bright red like bleeding, which is beautiful and moving.
Suddenly it flew away like an arrow from the string, suddenly stopped on the water of the rice field, and its tail tapped the water.
Sometimes it falls on a rock or a slender grass tip, closes its wings and stands tall.
I couldn’t help but leaned closer and looked at it carefully and took two photos.
I never paid attention to the ordinary animal like dragonfly, but now I find it is quite beautiful.
The appearance of dragonflies means that the ecosystem here is more perfect.
At this moment, a red-eared bulbul emerged from nowhere, swooped down, and caught the dragonfly accurately.
Flying to the top of the tree with the dragonfly in its mouth, jumping around in front of the other red-eared bulbul, it seemed to be courting.
Two red-eared bulbuls were flying and chasing among the tree canopies, and there was a pleasant chirping chirping nearby, which was lively.
…
Black-browed Snake House!
The afternoon sun was warm, and a yellow and black snake was lying on the window sill, grouped into a group, basking in the sun quietly, giving people a sense of peace and quiet.
The brooms, bamboo sieves, broken bowls, blackened walls and the portrait of the stove prince are full of smoke and fire.
Such a unique pavilion environment has attracted many tourists’ enthusiastic onlookers.
Those who grew up in the countryside before showed nostalgic eyes, and those who had never been to the countryside looked at it with relish.
There is a small tile with an arrow on the glass that says “please look here”.
Sometimes the black eyebrows are tucked under the stove, or hidden behind the broomsticks of the pickled cabbage jar. It is not easy to spot them. After tourists find it, they can adjust the position indicated by the magnet to help later tourists find it better.
Of course, this black eyebrow is basking in the sun, and it can be easily found without looking at the arrow.
The popular science exhibition board next to it introduced that the black-browed brocade snake was named after a striking black eyebrow pattern behind the eyes, and it was collectively called the cauliflower snake with the king brocade snake.
Because of its large size, non-toxicity, and slow movement, it is also the most common edible snake on the market.
Of course, what is sold on the market is under the banner of breeding. In fact, a large part of it comes from the wild, so that black eyebrows are almost endangered now.
Wild snakes have many parasites such as nematodes and tapeworms, which are very dangerous to eat.
In addition, the black-browed snake snake has a great effect on controlling the number of rodents. It is the natural enemy of the brown rats that flood in the city. The slender body can enter the rat hole and kill a litter of large and small rats. Protecting snakes ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is actually protecting ourselves.
Many people are afraid of snakes, but if we know about snakes, we will know that 99% of snakes will run away when they touch people or are too scared to escape. At this time, you can stom the feet to scare them away, hurt the snake or kill the snake. necessary.
The tourists commented: “This black eyebrow is so handsome!”
“I have seen this kind of snake before, and now I know its name.”
“When I was a child, a cauliflower snake came into my house! At night, when my father heard the movement, he got up and caught it and threw it outside.”
“It’s really rare to see them now, and I hope they won’t be the next flower finches.”
“Hey, my house is a serious problem with rat and thieves. At night, I can hear mice climbing up and down the pipe. The thieves are big. They often run into the kitchen. They can jump on the cupboard when they eat. They have to be closed. The cabinet door works. I have tried all kinds of mouse traps, mouse traps, and mouse sticks. They are as refined as ghosts, and they don’t work at all. I really hope there are black eyebrows to cure them.”
“When will everyone see a snake yelling to kill it or grab it to make soup, it is estimated that this idea can be realized.”
