Chapter 465 (1/2)

But he knew that Pingping didn't want to shake hands with him. The relationship was not good enough. He stretched out his nose to eat.

He took an apple from the side and handed it to the tip of his flat nose.

Pingping pinched the tip of his nose, retracted his nose from the railing, opened his mouth, put it in, and stretched out his nose again.

After eating several apples, he was very happy and his eyes narrowed.

”Wow, the elephant eats apples like people eat jujubes!”

”These apples don't feel enough. They fill their teeth and don't move much.”

”It's really edible.”

While feeding him, Fang ye said, ”the main feed for elephants in our zoo is forage, carrots and apples, and cabbage in spring. With enough food, elephants can eat one or two hundred kilograms of food a day.

However, their absorption efficiency is relatively low and they cannot ruminate. They can only absorb about 40%, and the remaining 60% will be pulled out without digestion. Eat more and pull more. The amount of defecation every day is amazing. ”

After feeding for a long time, I brought over a bucket of water, which is the kind used to throw mops at home.

Pingping puts his nose into the bucket and sucks hard. He can see the water in the bucket and reduce the speed visible to the naked eye.

After sucking the water, roll up your nose, send it back to your mouth, tilt your head, half squint your eyes, Gudong Gudong drank it, and water droplets from your mouth kept falling to the ground.

Like Russians drinking vodka, tons!

Fang Ye picked up the bucket and showed it to netizens. The bucket just filled with water left a bottom in the twinkling of an eye.

The size of elephants is not only reflected in their huge size, but also the simplest behavior of eating and drinking water.

Netizens were stunned: ”lying in the trough, drinking water too fast!”

”This bucket of water, a nose to suck clean?”

”Mom asked me why I knelt to watch the live broadcast!”

”The elephant's trunk is like a straw. Drinking water looks so interesting.”

”It turns out that elephants drink water with their mouths! I always thought they sucked water directly into their stomachs with their noses. ”

”Me too... I've made a mistake for so many years. Brother Meng buried me.”

”I didn't even think about it. ”Laugh and cry”

”I remember when I was a child, I learned to drink water with an elephant's nose. I felt very powerful... And then choked myself.”

”Ha ha, you're really spicy!”

Fang ye said with a smile, ”the elephant's nose is really powerful! The human body has a total of 639 muscles, while the elephant's trunk has more than 40000 muscles, which can help them do many complex things.

In terms of water absorption alone, 7-12 liters of water can be absorbed at one time, and the water absorption speed can reach 3.7 liters per second, which is equivalent to 20 toilets flushing at the same time.

The function of the nose is complex, and it takes a long time to learn and adapt before it can be used. For example, the baby elephant can't skillfully use the nose, so he can only kneel by the stream and drink water. ”

Just then, Pingping rolled up a branch 2 or 3cm thick and one meter long with his nose. This is for its abundant capacity and boredom.

Holding the branch firmly in front of his nose, he scratched repeatedly around his eyes.

When scratching your face, the muscles on your face shrugged and narrowed from time to time, looking very comfortable.
