Chapter 353 (2/2)

In fact, elephants kill more keepers than any other beast in the zoo.

With strong power, smart mind and flexible control ability, elephants, like great apes, are recognized as the ”number one dangerous animal” in the zoo

There is an elephant keeper in fangye's ”zoo dry goods group”, who was almost trampled to death by elephants recently.

Gave everyone a red envelope to celebrate their lucky escape.

I don't know why I'm not in a good mood!

Staring at the breeder was a little angry, but for the sake of taking good care of himself at ordinary times, he was soft hearted. After a standoff with him on the wall for a while, he let him go.

Although nothing happened, it was still a terrible thing.

The circus also has animal performances and elephant riding by some institutions. It makes the elephant fear through painful punishment. It seems to be obedient, but when the fear accumulates and breaks the threshold, the elephant will make a fatal attack.

Therefore, when tourists see elephants, for their personal safety, it is best to keep a distance, do not feed, and it is not recommended to try any elephant riding activities.

Far away.

The benefits of sand are not only that, but also make elephants more comfortable when they sleep.

In the past, people thought that elephants slept standing. Lying down for a long time would oppress their hearts. Now it is found that they also lie down at night.

If there is a mound of earth or sand, the elephant can lie on its side to relieve the pressure on its head and shoulders, as well as the pressure on its legs to its knees.

Especially for old elephants or elephants with arthritis, it is good for physical and mental health to sleep comfortably on the sand slope.

Of course, the replacement and cleaning of sand cushion materials are much more troublesome than cement floors, but in order to make elephants live better, what is a little trouble.

If it is a temperate area, the natural light cycle can not meet the needs of elephants. Artificial auxiliary lighting must be used in the cage to simulate the lighting law of the habitat.

Although Linhai zoo is in the tropics and subtropics, it does not need to simulate the natural light cycle, but there should be lights at night, because elephants also have certain activities at night, and more than 50% of their food intake is carried out at night.

Simulate the lighting intensity of starlight and moonlight, so that elephants can also carry out social activities and feed at night. The brightness of the light changes gradually, so as not to startle the elephant.

The railings of the animal house are also exquisite!

If the railing is horizontal, like a ladder, the elephant may climb over the barrier.

The non operating surface is a closely arranged inclined railing, which makes it inconvenient for the elephant's trunk to stretch out, so as to avoid the elephant from hurting the keeper.

Several railings with a vertical spacing of 40cm shall be left to facilitate the breeder to quickly escape from the animal house and avoid the attack of elephants in case of emergency.
