I Have a Safari Park

Chapter 604: Family View of Gibbon

Nearby tourists watched the gibbons flexibly toss and turn on the tree, chasing them with their eyes wide open, and screamed with their mouths wide open.

  

   "Oh! Oh! Oh~oh~~~"

  

   "Oh~oh!"

  

   "Huhuhuhuhuhu, awesome!"

  

   "Wow, look at you!"

  

   "Mom, it's like flying!"

  

   At this moment, everyone seems to be a collective incarnation of gibbons, and the zoo is full of joy.

  

   The stone pillars in the middle of the island are carved with unidentified patterns, and some are mottled off. They look like the ruins of the ruins where primitive people once lived.

  

   The stone pillar is not only a decorative device, but also serves as a fixed perch.

  

   This is also the highest point on the island. Sitting on or on the perch next to it is nice to see the scenery. By the way, it can also become an amusement park for gibbons and play hide-and-seek here.

  

   The sun and the sunny day faced off for a while, and then flew in the woods, amidst the exclamation of the tourists, they continued to chase behind.

  

   A tourist asked the breeder: "Why is the singing of the gibbons so loud and so nice?"

  

   Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke also leaned in curiously. After listening to them sing, this question will naturally arise!

  

   The breeder explained with a smile: "The gibbon’s larynx has a larynx sac, which is also called a sound sac. When yelling, the larynx sac can swell greatly, making the voice extremely loud.

  

   They can be said to be singers in the animal kingdom, and besides humans, they are also the only mammals that can sing harmonies!

  

The form of    includes a solo of a male ape, a duet of a male ape and a female ape, a chorus of family members and so on.

  

   cantata is usually the adult male ape first sings the lead, and then the adult female ape resonates with a vibrato, and the monotonous response of the children, the pitch goes from low to high, clear and high-pitched, and can be heard two kilometers away.

  

   The gibbons work as a family. In the early morning, the gibbons’ singing will be heard one after another in the woods, which can convey a message to the neighbors and tell them that there are apes living in this forest to prevent their homes from being invaded.

  

   Singing can also increase feelings, find food to separate in the wild, and can also be used as a signal to connect and locate each other. "

  

   The tourists suddenly said: "Oh~"

  

   "What a great ape!"

  

   The breeder paused, and a regretful expression appeared on his face: "The high and melodious singing of the gibbons also brought them annihilation. Poachers can find them based on the singing.

  

   Although there are not as many poaching as before, the fragmentation of habitats and the reduction of forests make it difficult for gibbons to find mates. The situation is still not optimistic.

  

   There are currently 4 genera and 20 species of gibbons in the world. Our country has 3 genera and 6 species. It is one of the countries with the most abundant gibbons.

  

   Even though our country has such a variety of gibbons, the total number of gibbons in the wild is only 1,500.

  

   In addition, the northern white-cheeked gibbons and white-handed gibbons, which were once widely distributed in my country, have not found evidence of their survival in the wild in many years of field investigations. Therefore, these two gibbons may have become functionally extinct in China.

  

   So we also have to protect them, otherwise it will be difficult to hear their singing in the future. "

  

   Qian Ke Ke squeezed his small fist and was so angry: "Poachers are too bad! Such cute gibbons, what are you doing to catch them."

  

   Tang Xiaoxin was also a little sad to hear: "It's so pitiful. Such a beautiful song, don't become a deadly sound!"

   After listening to the explanation from the breeder, he walked along the island and looked at the sign.

  

   Gibbon exhibition area, of course, it is indispensable to introduce their singing.

  

   Primates are the hardest hit area for feeding!

  

   Even across a wide river, tourists can't dispel the idea of ​​feeding. When the river bottom was cleaned last time, some messy snacks were salvaged, which were obviously not thrown away.

  

   So there are several eye-catching signs here, introducing gibbon food and reminding visitors not to feed.

  

There are a few photos on the    exhibition board. In addition to common green vegetables like lettuce, there are also eggs, tamarind, dragon fruit, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes and various colorful foods, all packed in large baskets.

  

"The staple food of gibbons is mainly low-starch vegetables and low-sugar fruits. Secondly, pruning leaves are provided for gibbons to choose, and eggs, live breadworms, etc. are also used as protein supplements. In addition, the park will also provide suitable gibbons Pellets, bread, and nuts meet the nutritional needs of gibbons in different physiological periods."

  

   The passing tourists watched, their appetite was stimulated, and they even swallowed a little!

  

  Mom, this is delicious too.

  

  Those who want to feed will feel embarrassed when they see the sign, reducing the probability of feeding.

  

  In addition to introducing the food enrichment of gibbons, the disadvantages of feeding, etc., there is also an exhibition board introducing an interesting knowledge: "The wild gibbons are very planning for the use of food.

  

The flowers, fruits, leaves, and buds of some trees can be eaten by gibbons, but when it eats the buds of one tree, it will not eat the leaves of this tree. The other tree only eats the fruit. Eat flowers. "

  

   Tang Xiaoxin felt very strange: "All gibbons know about sustainable development!"

  

   Thinking about it this way, I feel that humans are sometimes not as intelligent as they are.

  

Under the tree next to the island, there is a pair of wood carvings of gibbons sitting on the branches of the tree, one looking at the tourists, the other gently grooming it, looking very affectionate.

  

   There is a sign next to ~www.readwn.com~ to introduce the similarities between gibbons and human families.

  

   Gibbon is a very emotional animal. When there are injured, sick, or dead apes in the group, they will stop frolicking for a long time, and express their grief for their companions through silence.

  

   They are also very loyal animals. Once married, they will grow old together and remain committed. In family relations, male and female have equal status.

  

   There are three white-browed gibbons in the Flying Monkey Zoo. In addition to sunny and sunny parents, there is also an unmarried young girl.

  

   Every day I look at each other through the cage net. Although I am envious of the family that smells sour and sour in love next door, I may also have a longing in my heart, but I have never done anything to interfere with others and destroy the feelings of others.

  

Once the breeder was negligent and did not close the door properly, the male ape went to the wrong room, and the single female ape chased the male ape away with a mess to avoid something that shouldn't happen, and the male ape did not fight back when he was beaten away. , And also looked a little guilty.

  

   And their parents have never fought for food or other disagreements.

  

   Gibbon will also leave relatives. When the elder relatives arrive, the gibbons not only welcome and allow their elders to touch themselves, but may also allow the old apes to spend their twilight years in their homes.

  

   Stick to love, love family, respect the old and love the young.

  

   For humans, it can be regarded as a model!
