I Have a Safari Park

Elephants are very smart animals!

They need to constantly bring changes and challenges to make their brains work, otherwise they will be bored in a daze.

Therefore, the enrichment of the Elephant Pavilion is also the most complicated and the most energy-consuming.

The sand dunes and mud ponds in the activity ground, the staff controlled the small excavator to dig the base, so that the terrain that the elephants can see every day is different from yesterday, full of freshness and fun of exploration.

This is also the unique enrichment that the sandy environment can only carry out.

In fact, for all animals, the unchanging environment is very boring.

It's just that other pavilions can't make such large-scale changes. They can only make some details.

Like the Red Panda House, add a slide to the red panda, move the position of the perch or something.

Therefore, Fang Ye plans to make some air corridors in the predator exhibition area to connect different exhibition halls so that the animals can live in another exhibition hall.

Meiling didn't seem to have much interest in hay, she stopped after eating a few bites, took a huge step, and walked away slowly!

Upon seeing this, Meilan also walked with her.

There are many facilities in the elephant hall for them to move around, and the elephants always have something to do.

Meilan walked forward and when she passed a tree trunk, she seemed to find something and swept it with a roller hanging from the tree with her nose.

There are some small holes on the drum!

After being swept away by Mei Lan's nose, Gu Lugu turned around and dropped an apple from the hole.

This kind of roller enrichment device is also more common in zoos. There are some in the ring-tailed lemur exhibition area, but their rollers are made of bamboo joints, while the rollers in the elephant hall are relatively large.

Meiling unceremoniously rolled the apple from the ground with her nose and stuffed it into her mouth to eat.

Meilan was planning to pick up the apple to eat, but she glanced at her and said nothing.

Then he continued to swipe the roller with his nose and dropped an apple.

Meiling poked her head and snatched her nose again!

Meiling is a bit picky eater, she likes to eat fruits but not hay.

Of course, elephants like fruits.

Meilan also wanted to eat apples, and was snatched by Meiling one after another, which seemed a little unhappy!

He fanned his ears, opened his mouth and didn't know what was being said to her, and squeezed her body towards her, trying to squeeze her to the side.

Meiling was grinning and grinning, and her nose came up against Meilan, as if she was calming her emotions.

What's the matter, isn't it just an apple?

Meilan is angrily, you are ashamed, is this a problem with an apple! You have always robbed me!

Liu Wei looked at this scene, somewhat surprised: "What are these two elephants doing?"

Wu Jiancong guessed: "It seems that the food is unhappy!"

Zhu Yu said strangely: "Didn't you say that they are good friends?"

Some tourists also raised this question!

Fang Ye looked at the situation in the distance and said with a smile: "Although Meilan and Meiling are good friends, good friends can also have conflicts.

When the two elephants were eating, Meiling often took away the fruits from Meilan and ate them. Think about it, there is a friend who often rubs your meal. Will you be angry after a long time?

So the two of them have a very good relationship. Even if Meiling likes to grab fruit to eat, Meilan still tolerates this shortcoming of her and usually plays with her. "

A tourist asked curiously: "Hey, director, how do you tell which two elephants are?"

Fang Ye explained: "Meilan's figure is a little bit fatter! Meiling is a bit thinner because she is picky eaters and doesn't eat the staple food well. Another difference is that Meiling has a pair of small incisors."

"Oh oh~" The tourist showed a daze.

But some tourists were puzzled again: "No, isn't Mei Ling a female name? How does a female elephant grow teeth, or is Mei Ling a male elephant?"

"I didn't even notice that it still has ivory!"

Fang Ye smiled and said: "This is a classic misunderstanding! In fact, not all elephants have exposed incisors. Some male elephants can't see ivory, and some female elephants can see ivory, and they can grow very long. Ivory cannot be used as a basis for judging the **** of an elephant.

It may be that people associate ivory with mighty and strong, mighty and strong are generally the characteristics of males, and some people have no textual research, and based on their own impressions, they say that those with ivory are all males, and those without ivory are all females, or teeth. It was sawed off, allowing this misunderstanding to spread widely. "

"So it is!"

"Damn, did I always make a mistake before?"

"It's up!"

The two elephants then played with sand.

Flicking his tail, his nose sucked on the ground, sucking in the sand.

Then he raised his nose and flicked it behind his head, and a sprinkle of sand was sprinkled on his back delicately.

He took another pipe of sand, rolled his nose down, and sprayed the sand on the belly with a "poof" spray.

Pingping is also active here.

At this moment, she walked to the edge of the mud pool ~www.readwn.com~ and knelt on the bank, touched the end of her nose against the surface of the mud pool, and then put her nose under the water and fumbled for a while.

It's like human beings touch the water with their hands before taking a bath to see how hot or cold it is!

Pingping is also feeling the muddy degree of the mud puddle, and at the same time testing the environment under the mud puddle to see if he can step down!

Don't step on the bottom is empty, fall into the pit and can't climb up.

This is the experience of learning with the older elephants in the family in the wild.

After groping for the environment under the mud pool, the whole elephant kicked directly and slipped into the mud pool!

Lying in the mud pool, he arched his body and rolled happily, and his nose kept throwing muddy water.

"Hahaha, so cute!"

"Happy like a kid of tons!"

"Hey, who is not a baby yet?"

"Ma Ma, the elephant is so happy!"

"But cute love has no head."

The tourists can't help but smile when they look flat in the mud pool, rolling and playing!

When you come to the zoo to see animals, don’t you just want to relax your mind and body?

The scene of elephants playing in the mud happily is indeed very healing.

Liu Wei took out his phone, took a few photos of the elephant in the mud pit, and took a video.

Surprised with the little friend: "I thought the elephant is a very mature and stable animal, but I didn't expect it to play like a child."

Gao Kaijin watched Ping Ping playing in the mud, and he couldn't help but say, "Yes!"

Elephants are very attractive!

And for the zoo, it's a great display of animals.

They are basically active all the time during the day, unlike pandas, which sleep most of the time.

It's just that most zoos cannot provide them with a good environment, so that elephants can't show these interesting natural behaviors like rolling in mud pits and bathing.
