It may be cruel, but it is also a means that must be taken to protect biodiversity and protect the genes of local species from pollution, otherwise the local species will gradually become extinct.
The Green Peacock is one of the most famous victims of genetic pollution. Now many green peacocks in domestic zoos are more or less mixed with the genes of the blue peacock because they didn't realize it.
Moreover, with the release of peacocks, the peacocks on the farm fled the field. Most of the green peacocks in the field are the offspring of hybridization with the blue peacock. Maybe there will be no local divine bird Green Peacock in China in the future, leaving only the foreign blue peacock.
For mixed breeding of animals with different aspects, it can be considered that they do not occupy the same resources, such as arboreal and terrestrial, one living in the tree and the other living on the ground at different levels, which is not only conducive to harmony, but also can form a three-dimensional display effect.
Or diurnal animals with nocturnal animals, when one sleeps, the other becomes active, which naturally reduces competition.
It can also be considered that there are large body differences, such as bison and small deer. Large animals will not bully small animals after they are familiar with them. On the contrary, small animals may attack large animals because of their protected territory.
Another is to avoid aggressive species. For example, the male zebra is sensitive and aggressive, while the female zebra is docile. Then take away the male zebra and raise it alone. The female zebra is displayed or mixed with other herbivores. When mating is needed, bring the male zebra back.
Primates are the most difficult to mix with other animals. They are either keen to protect their territory with violence or harass other animals out of curiosity.
For example, macaques are mixed with deer. The naughty monkeys like to ride on the gentle deer's back, take others as their cars, ride around on the deer, pull their tails and drag their ears. There are also some monkeys who are uncomfortable in the group. If they want to get close to a female monkey, they will be intimidated by the monkey king. If their desire is not vented, they may have evil thoughts on the lovely deer, rub on the deer's back and do some ghost animal things.
Of course, the docile deer may not mind. This is an alternative friendship between animals.
In short, when animals are mixed, they should be considered comprehensively according to various information such as behavioral characteristics. The most important thing is to learn from nature and see which animals live together in nature, so that the success rate of mixed breeding can be much higher.
Fang ye thought, it's better to raise the red fox with sika deer and rock sheep! If a suitable environment is arranged and the breeder intervenes, several animals can be mixed.
Sika deer has white spots on its fur and looks like plum blossom. It is a representative deer in China.
The shape of rock sheep is between goats and sheep. It is native to the Himalayas. It mainly lives in the bare rock zone of high mountains. It is very good at rock climbing and can walk and climb on the nearly straight rock wall. However, it has strong adaptability. It can endure extreme heat, cold and strong wind from high-altitude alpine meadow to medium altitude shrub and low forest.
Several animals, first of all, rock sheep and sika deer are plant eaters, which are generally not aggressive. Although red foxes are omnivores and eat meat, they hunt small animals such as frogs, birds and rabbits smaller than themselves without direct conflict.
If several animals conflict, it is more likely that they break into each other's territory, so they should be arranged with their own suitable environment.
The rock sheep has strong limbs and short and solid hooves. It is suitable for running and jumping between cliffs and rocks! Therefore, in the design of the exhibition hall, we can arrange a piece of rock and rock, and rock sheep naturally like to stay there.
Sika Deer like to stay in the hillside woodland and eat the tender leaves of plants and shrubs, while red foxes can stay in any environment, so they can plant less plants and put more sand where they live.
These animals have their own suitable living environment, and the animal house is also placed next to the customized environment for them, so the probability of conflict naturally becomes smaller.
