Chapter 461 (1/2)
Pingping ate an apple and was as happy as a three ton child!
He stretched out his long nose again and looked at Fang Ye.
Fangye also looked at Pingping, looked carefully into her eyes and saw a trace of expectation.
Having contacted so many animals, his understanding of animals has evolved into an intuition similar to the sixth sense.
Animals are happy or angry, timid, gentle or naughty. They can have a general feeling after a while.
I felt that my ordinary character was not bad. I smiled and touched her nose.
After waiting for a while, he didn't receive the apple. Disappointed, he took his nose back and walked away slowly.
A long iron chain was tied to the front ankle and swayed on the ground with walking.
We're going to get down to business!
There is a famous question, how many steps does it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator?
The answer is three steps. The first step is to open the refrigerator, the second step is to install the elephant, and the third step is to close the refrigerator door.
Of course, this is humor.
But it takes a few steps to transport elephants, which is a serious problem.
The average weight is 2700 kg, nearly 3 tons. It's not easy to transport it to the zoo.
The first step is to customize a special transport cage according to the elephant's height and body shape.
The flat transfer cage is 4.5m long, 2.4m wide and 3M high. Each railing is as thick as the thigh of an adult male. The cage alone weighs two tons.
The cage is covered with dense barbed wire to prevent the elephant's flexible trunk from sticking out and causing injury or injury.
Therefore, elephant transportation needs to be communicated and discussed in advance. The most basic cage can not be changed in ten days and a half months.
The second step is to train elephants to enter the transport cage and adapt to the transport cage in advance.
This work started two months ago!
The breeder sprinkles the feed on the road leading to the transport cage, and most of the feed is placed in the transport cage. He guides Pingping into the transport cage and is familiar with the cage. He is doing such training every day to deepen his memory, so that he can load and start smoothly today.
Now you can go in and out of the transport cage at will. You are very used to the cage.
”Flat!”
The breeder shouted outside, calling her to the outfield where she usually does transport cage training.
After two months of training, Pingping went straight to the transfer cage.
I didn't see any feed in the cage, but when I saw the breeder who was preparing for loading outside, he raised his nose and waved twice like a human hand, as if to say, ”what's the matter with calling me here? What about the food? ”
Turn around and look at the breeder on the other side!
Looking at the lively situation outside in a daze, then he walked into the cage.
There are more than 20 people outside the meeting, including Fang ye, Lao Yang, breeders and construction workers. It is said that the employees' families who want to transport elephants to watch the excitement are also parked in a huge lifting truck and truck.
The keeper ”brother Zhong” shouted, ”Ping Ping, good, stand still, ha, I'll give you an apple!”
Brother Zhong also wants to follow her all the way. As a familiar breeder, he calms her mood on the way.
Another time, the breeder took out a piece of fruit from a bucket of fruit as a reward to attract Pingping to move forward.
The flat nose protrudes from the feeding gap, rolls up the apples and eats them one by one.
At the same time, brother Zhong put a stick into the iron cage, hooked the iron chain on her feet, and then tied it on the post circle by circle.
The function of the foot chain is to fix the elephant's feet on the cage and limit the range of activities!
In order to avoid the elephant moving too much on the road, affecting the balance of the body and causing rollover.
If it is an elephant who has been trained in behavior for a long time, the keeper can take the initiative to put the elephant's feet on the cross bar and fix the elephant's feet through the target stick. Of course, he can also take the opportunity to bolt the chain.
