Chapter 135 (1/2)

It's on the shelves at 12 noon. Maybe the time will be a little delayed. It will be sent after opening anyway.

Finally, when it's time to go on the shelf, let's say something sincerely.

As I said before, the zoo thought it was good to watch the video of Crimea wildlife park at station B, and then liked animals, so it began to write this subject.

However, I haven't been to the zoo at all. The last time I went to Beijing when I was in primary school, I went to the Beijing zoo with my mother, my uncle and anyone else. It seems that I have to buy another ticket for the aquarium. I can't remember what I've seen for so many years.

Because I don't have the experience of being a keeper or volunteer in the zoo, and my major has nothing to do with animals, I encountered many problems when I actually wrote.

Like writing about the tiger, how long it is, how much weight it weighs, how much meat it eats a day, how high it can jump, and whether its tongue can lick people. In fact, it takes effort to check these things that seem to have been mentioned in the book.

Go to Baidu Encyclopedia and check it. Everyone knows that Baidu Encyclopedia is very unreliable. At first, it says that the northeast tiger has 300 kg. I think it's a little big. When I showed it to a friend who knows something about animals before sending the book, he said that your 300 kg is unreliable. Those who develop 300 kg in the animal park are fat tigers. Accept it with an open mind, Took 200 kilograms down.

Now when I go to see this entry, 300 kg has been changed. I read the entry editing records. Good guy, someone is changing it every day.

Therefore, google + wiki are used together when checking data, but Wikipedia may not be able to go up the network sometimes because it knows everything.

Including going to some foreign zoo websites to check information, it's also very laborious anyway.

Later, someone put forward an opinion that your 200 kg is unreliable. The male tiger may be 200 kg. Your female tiger is not so strong. I hurried to check it. Go to the tiger bar and find the data listed by someone. Now, the average weight of the captive northeast tiger in the zoo is 170 kg.

Originally, I wanted to change it to 170 kg, but when people put forward their opinions, I already know more about it. The weight of tigers of different ages is also different. The weight of tigers will fluctuate in winter and summer. In autumn, in order to store energy for themselves to resist the cold in winter, they will eat more. They are fat in autumn and winter and may be thinner in summer, so I went to the zoo to see tigers thin, It's not that I didn't feed the tiger. People are really thinner in summer.

So after thinking about it, I'm not very sure, so I just don't write about 170 kg.

Another reader asked questions about the tiger's jumping ability, saying that it's unreliable for you to jump 2-3 meters. A tiger can jump 10 meters high.

After waking up, I was surprised to see this comment, although I instinctively felt it was unreliable, because when writing about the construction of the tiger Museum, this data also looked at the standard of the construction of the zoo tiger Museum in the graphic zoo design, which should be no problem.

But I really don't know much about animals. Maybe tigers can jump. If tigers jump 10 meters high, there is a problem that the barrier of the tiger Pavilion trench is 5 meters deep.

So I went to check. After checking for a long time, I didn't find anyone who could jump 10 meters, but I did find a specific example. The tiger in San Francisco Zoo hurt people. The pure bred female Amur tiger ran up at the bottom of the trench and jumped over the 3.88 meter high wall. This should be the limit. In order to prevent the tiger from crossing again, the zoo raised the barrier to 5.79 meters.

I was relieved and scared to death. It seems that it should be right to run and jump 2-3 meters in situ. It's no problem to write that the trench barrier is 5 meters high. Moreover, the bottom of my tiger Pavilion trench is V-shaped and paved with stones, so I can't run up very well.

The process of checking data runs through the whole writing process. I wrote about the little tiger, what to feed for the baby, what the tiger cubs will do at different stages, when they can run, jump and eat meat. I read three papers on tiger breeding, including looking for some videos of feeding the baby tiger.

When writing the introduction of white tiger, is it an albino tiger or a genetically mutated tiger? What's the difference between a white tiger and an albino tiger? What about golden tiger and snow tiger? Can only white tigers produce golden tigers and snow tigers? Why?

If you don't understand, it's a little difficult to write down. You can't just talk nonsense. What if you make a mistake.

Ask the big guys, some people say which two gene loci are mutated. They just studied this problem before and enthusiastically helped to find two English papers. I didn't download them... It's enough to read Chinese papers and English papers. I don't study English well. It seems too hard

In Chapter 13, the children asked about the role of the fox tail, and the protagonist gave an answer. Some people commented that it was an adult's thinking logic to transfer knowledge to the children, which surprised me. It felt that the protagonist didn't say any difficult and obscure answer. It should be no problem for the child to ask this question and give her such an answer, but to be on the safe side, he quickly turned to the zoo protection education, See if there is anything beyond the outline. By the way, I consulted a friend of my commentator. He said who is raising the bar (cross it out). It's no problem. Children's knowledge is beyond the imagination of many adults. It's a long sigh of relief.

Writing about the black boot tortoise, there were fewer and more popular materials. When writing, I saw a news that someone picked up a black boot tortoise at the railway station and handed it to the Yunnan wildlife park. Then it weighed 25 kg. The staff said it was in its 20s.

But this is not the same as the information found in the encyclopedia. People say it can grow to 50 kg, which gives rise to problems. Is the black boot tortoise in its 20s an adult? How long can the tortoise grow to adulthood? How many kg does the 50 cm tortoise weigh?

Then I went to ask a person who had been raised. Oh, 50 kg should be 50 cm. They can really grow so big in their 20s. Now I have the confidence to write these data.

So there should be a problem with the reporter who wrote this news. It can't be more than 20 kilograms in his 20s. I guess he may have confused the black boot tortoise and the brown boot tortoise.

It is also impossible to appear near the sea. Although the sea is overhead, the black boot tortoise is not distributed near the sea, so the protagonist will guess that someone released it and give a reasonable reason.

When it comes to crows, there must be magpies near the sea, but I'm not sure whether there are crows. I went through the bird manual, nature notes and other materials, such as whether there are crows in the real city corresponding to the virtual location and what kind of crows are there, so I dare to write that crows appear in this place, Otherwise, the magpie will be the one holding the panda's tail and the apple. Magpies and crows are actually just as cheap.

When writing about monkeys, they just got stuck when they were about to hit the keyboard. What's the situation with the monkey's community structure? Can the monkey king be a female monkey? Can other monkeys have wives except the monkey king?

When I wrote down the problem, I suddenly saw this in a official account. I introduced a book from the monkey home letter, and I bought a book quickly. But there are only a few pages in the book.

After reading, I finally understand the social relationship of macaques. It turns out that this macaque is a matriarchal society, and the rights of female monkeys are quite large. When male monkeys become Monkey King, they are not only strong, but also crown prince party and qualification party under captive conditions.

Write about the monkey fight. What was the situation during the fight? If I write about a monkey staring, does it look like this? After looking for a long time, I found an article ”Research on facial expressions of Taihang Mountain macaques with competitive behavior”, which was written in detail. It was written that monkeys fight. Finally, I was a little confident.

However, with the publication of books and the increasing tension in writing, there may not be so much time to find papers for textual research on some details. We can only try to ensure that there are not too many problems. At least, the basic problems such as the length of the panda's tail and what to eat will not be mistaken.

By the way, I will read all the basic comments. There are few problems to be corrected in the area of animals, mainly the weight of the tiger at the beginning, as well as the detailed behavior of the tiger and some problems in the cage. Emmm, there are always some people who speak with certainty and scare me... Where I don't understand or am not sure, shall we use a question.

Wait a minute, I'll attach some photos for you to see. In order to write this book, I have bought more than 50 books, from zoo design, animal behavior management, animal feed, animal rescue, animal protection, zoo protection education, zoo introduction, to animal encyclopedia, animal behavior, specifically, the natural notes of a certain kind, an animal, a certain area, etc.

Many books are bought from catching more fish. They are second-hand. They can be much cheaper and environmentally friendly, right.

The papers, electronic documents, videos and animal videos of the papers are even more different. They also concern about the more than 30 zoo related official account numbers. Even now I go to listen to lectures every week.

Without this accumulation, writing this subject really needs to check a lot of things. I need to spend dozens or even hundreds of hours studying the chapters you read in one minute.

Especially in the exhibition hall of each animal, wow, you have to understand the animal habits, such as how far the tiger can jump, and you have to find the original habitat. The trees and grass planted can't be poisonous to animals. The specific plant names of the later venues are rarely written, but you don't have so much time to check. We have to look at the designs of various zoos, compare and compare them, and see where we can learn from them. Think about what behavior animals can show in them. There must be some characteristics, right? Although the classic formula is landscape forest and what exhibition hall has these kinds of good-looking, we can't have thousands of identical articles. That's not something to see. What kind of Fengrong does the exhibition hall have?

Designing a pavilion is more difficult than writing a graduation project.

Writing slowly is not an excuse for laziness.

I'm tired and thankless to check so many materials

I think I haven't found the right writing posture that is relaxed and pleasant.

But without checking the data, it may be that the little tiger urinates yellow and aids people's face, opens an aquarium, half raises ornamental fish, and half lets people fish and eat. This is a particularly outrageous plot
