Chapter 295 (1/2)
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxin was confused and tangled. He asked Qian Keke quietly, ”Keke, do you think the breeder should interfere with them?”
Qian Keke likes to answer questions by intuition rather than thinking. Without much thought, he said, ”I think it's better not to interfere. Otherwise, he doesn't treat them as human pets. He can play with them any way he wants.”
Tang Xiaoxin sighed gently: ”I also think it's good not to interfere, but I can't bear to think that the lively and naughty macaques may die in the process of competing for the monkey king.”
LV Jiamu looked at the tourists' complex expressions and explained: ”although it is said that we should respect the habits and social rules of animals, it is not to say that they should fight and compete like wild animals. There is medical security in the zoo, and the casualty rate must be much smaller.
Moreover, we will also use all kinds of abundant capacity, including some training and taking some measures to take care of vulnerable individuals and make their population more harmonious.
For example, when feeding fruit to monkeys, our keepers will first throw the fruit to the monkey king, and then throw fruit to other monkeys when the monkey king is busy eating. If it is reversed, it will certainly cause the leader's aggressive behavior and destroy the social harmony of the monkeys.
Some old and weak individuals will throw more food around, because these vulnerable individuals may not be able to compete with other monkeys, so we need to take more care of them. ”
When the tourists heard the details of feeding fruit to the macaque, they couldn't help feeling: ”Wow, this is really good!”
”It's really not that easy for the breeder to take care of animals. I thought it was just feeding and cleaning the cage!”
”I saw a recruiting message on the public address of the coastal zoo, and asked to understand the animal's habits and official account of” care and love ”.
LV Jiamu said seriously: ”the zoo respects and cherishes animals, not only for individuals, but also for the population and their natural needs.
The ultimate mission of the zoo is to protect species, not only to protect the genes of species, but also to protect the natural behavior of animals, so that individual animals can communicate socially like the wild, know how to use survival skills, and prepare for their return to nature in the future. ”
In fact, he used to take care of animals with experience and intuition!
Now under the influence of Fang ye, I gradually understand the significance of the job of breeder.
Now many zoos call their keepers zookeepers to take care of them.
The meaning of feeding is more appropriate than that of the breeder, but the name doesn't matter. It's mainly the work content.
Originally, LV Jiamu and his family and friends joked that he was a monkey head and shoveled excrement, but now when he tells his little daughter what a keeper does, he will tell her that he is engaged in a meaningful job, and his image in his daughter's heart has become greater and greater.
When Tang Xiaoxin saw the monkeys fighting scene in the exhibition area again this time, she was calm and relaxed a lot!
In the process of visiting the monkey hall, I saw several exhibition boards about feeding attached to the glass curtain wall.
It includes pictures of the food normally fed to macaques, as well as a detailed explanation of why they can't be fed.
One basket contains white cauliflower, green lettuce, red tomatoes and black and purple eggplant. The other basket contains all kinds of fruits, yellow bananas, bright oranges, red pitaya apples
With so many different kinds of fruits and vegetables with bright colors, the visual impact is still very strong.
And the appearance is excellent. There are no potholes. It looks better than ordinary supermarkets.
The following is written: macaque's usual food, fruits and vegetables, Wugu Wotou, fresh and delicious, balanced nutrition.
When the tourists passed by, they couldn't help stopping and sincerely sighed: ”the monkey eats very well!”
”Woo woo, I can't bear to buy such good fruit...”
