Chapter 1170: Private zoo (2)

Mountain gorillas are cherished as much as the national treasure pandas in Country Z. At present, in the Virunga Volcano Park, the main habitat of mountain gorillas, there are only less than 300 wild mountain gorillas. There are less than 1,000, which can be said to be a very cherished endangered species. I did not expect that two of them came to my zoo at once, no, no, plus three cubs, and there are five at once, which is really a surprise.

   The living area created by Jeff Lowe for mountain gorillas is located on the edge of the ‘African Prairie’ plate, where there is a hill, just to simulate the living environment of mountain gorillas in the wild.

During the day, they will come down from the mountain to pick up customers in the fake mountain area and earn rations for themselves. At night and on rest days, they can spend their own little days on the mountain or return to the dormitory to enjoy the perfect enjoyment of high technology. Those little days can be more comfortable than in the wild.

   Zoos mostly adopt a stocking mode. For those herbivores that have a good temper and need a lot of space for activity, captive breeding is a bit inhumane.

   Therefore, the entire ‘African Grassland’ scenic area is also as far as possible to circle a flat grassland for the herbivores to roam freely. Of course, visitors can get close to these lovely creatures in the special area of ​​the zoo.

  For example, for giraffes, visitors can go to the elevated viewing platform on their own and buy some leaf snacks that giraffes like to eat on the spot.

At the same time, on the viewing platform, you can also overlook the entire grassland area. Hippos, rhinos, zebras, and antelopes are racing and resting in groups on the grassland. There is no restriction. Visitors can watch the most realistic view from such a close distance. The "African savannah" scene is indeed worthwhile.

   Yang Cheng and they had a close exchange with the mountain gorillas for a while, and then they came to the second scenic spot, ‘Tropical Rain Forest’, where not only animals from the tropical rain forest, but also rain forest plants and insects completely transplanted from the Amazon.

This scenic spot is the most complicated part of the entire zoo’s construction process. In order to simulate the real tropical rainforest environment, Jeff Lowe specially applied for a multi-million dollar budget for the construction of this huge single building. The building, through the computer, can perfectly replicate the temperature and humidity of the tropical rain forest in the enclosed area, and even simulate the rainfall. The cost of this system is very expensive, but seeing the actual effect, no one thinks the money is wasted. It is great value for money.

  "Boss, when designing the tropical rainforest pavilion, I asked the construction and design team to shorten the construction period as much as possible, so the design team proposed to replace the reinforced concrete with tempered film as the main building material.

In order to achieve the best effect, the tropical rainforest pavilion took the lead in completing the main structure and then perfecting the details little by little. The entire construction period is three years. In other words, the hemispherical membrane structure we see before our eyes is still an unfinished work. After the project is completed, we will see a great architectural work. "Jeff Lowe said in a proud tone.

Yang Cheng stood in front of the tropical rainforest pavilion with his hips akimbo, and asked blankly, "You tell the truth, Jeff, how much money did you invest in this building? My family is engaged in construction projects, millions of dollars think To create such a building? It is absolutely impossible. Do you know the Water Cube in Country Z? It is the largest membrane structure building in the world, with a cost of 150 million US dollars."

   Jeff scratched his head awkwardly, "Boss, 70% of the overall budget you gave was used to build this tropical rainforest pavilion, but you can rest assured that I did not cut corners on the other parts."

   Yang Cheng waved his hand, "I have no doubt that you are cutting corners, you tell me the truth, what is the total cost of the tropical rainforest pavilion after it is completed?"

   Jeff Lowe had no choice but to truthfully say, "20 million dollars."

Yang Orange nodded. This is similar to his estimate. The tropical rainforest pavilion is only about one-third the size of the Water Cube, and the building structure used does not require too much material. More importantly, the material of this membrane is now due to technology. In development, the cost is much lower than that of the construction of the Water Cube that year, and it should be possible to complete it all at US$20 million.

   "I see, I urge the construction team to complete it as soon as possible. I hope to see the complete completion of the rainforest pavilion as soon as possible. I hope that the rainforest pavilion will become the symbol of our zoo."

   With Yang Cheng’s support, Jeff Lowe felt very motivated, clenched his fist and promised, "No problem, try to finish the work ahead of schedule next year."

Those who walked and watched the flowers went around in the tropical rainforest pavilion, and then they visited the cute pet paradise area. In this area, there are the world's cutest animals, all of which can make people sprout blood. Cute galaxy species, including the red panda family photographed by Yang Cheng himself, and dozens of cute pets including pony and koala. Here, children can get in touch with the small animals, and there are also rich There are amusement facilities for them to have fun, and this is also the place where the laughter of the entire zoo is loudest.

Yang Cheng saw a family of four who had previously met at the door. At this time, Alice was holding a little koala and begging her mother to take pictures of her, while her brother Tony pretended to be cold and riding on the little pony. , But the trembling corners of his mouth exposed his inner tension~www.readwn.com~ The little boy was not as bold as a girl when he was a child.

The family of four did not step up to disturb the warm family, and left quietly to the last scenic spot, which is also the most secure area of ​​the zoo, because it is home to the fierce birds and beasts at the top of the food chain, the lion families that come and go in groups, and all alone. The king of the forest, the Kodiak brown bear from the Alaska wilderness, the night killer cougar in the Amazon jungle, the sprint champion cheetah on the African savannah, and so on.

Although according to the planned visit route of the scenic spot, the Beast Zone is at the end, according to the geographical location, the Beast Zone and the African grassland area are close together. Sometimes the male lion roars and scares a number of dry herbivores on the grassland. Gathering in a corner of the grassland and hugs together, it is so similar to the scene on the African savannah.

   These cold-blooded carnivores do not have as good luck as herbivores. Although their living area is spacious enough, they are always confined to a space and cannot run like they did in their original habitat.

   There is no other way. Yang Cheng runs a zoo and not a human flesh factory. Shouldn't these beasts be circled and wait for them to eat people?

Of course, in order to ensure their activity, the zoo will also release these beasts from their cages and move freely in a delineated area when the zoo is closed. This is already the biggest compromise the zoo has made for the freedom of animals. .
