Chapter 509 (1/2)
The road behind the predator exhibition area was originally blocked. I don't know what is under construction. Now it has been opened.
Liu Wei and his team walked along the road for a while and found that behind them was an open lake. There were large reed marshes near the bank and no pavilions and waterside pavilions. Compared with the general park waterfowl lake, it looked more natural.
The original waterfowl Lake in many zoos is in the form of traditional gardens, and the environmental needs of animals are not considered in the design.
The most typical is the revetment near the lake, which goes up and down, causing obstacles to the activities of animals between land and water. There is no shelter for animals around the waterfowl lake.
On the side of Linhai zoo, the revetment is a slope convenient for waterfowl to go up and down.
On the edge of the revetment and on the lake, there are also scattered ”floating” some fallen trunks and roots.
In fact, the support column is used to connect the trunk with the bottom of the lake. The support column can not be seen on the water.
Such semi floating tree roots not only have the smell of wetland landscape, but also provide a habitat for birds.
Five or six birds with white chests and black backs stopped on the tree trunk in the lake, and one just flew over.
These birds are night herons, which are widely distributed.
It was not introduced by the zoo, but originally existed nearby. It was attracted by the natural environment here.
In the middle of the lake, there are a group of yellow ducks swimming in the water, shrinking their heads and looking flat and fat.
It was the Red duck rescued by Linhai zoo.
At the beginning of reintroduction, some red ducks were not used to entering the water and only moved on the shore.
Now after the wild was released for a while, they gradually went into the water to play.
Some red ducks have begun to fly away from the waterfowl lake and go to the mountains near the zoo to explore the surrounding environment.
However, they didn't fly away. They would fly back at night. They would sleep together for the night. In the morning, the breeder came to put food in, and then fly out after eating.
This is soft release!
Provide animals with a harbor for rest and food, so that they can gradually explore and adapt to the wild environment, exercise their ability, and leave naturally when they grow up.
The red ducks form different groups in the water. The soles of their feet move and ripple on the water.
As soon as the sun shines, the lake is full of broken gold.
Wu jiancong: ”Oh, is this Beijing roast duck?”
Liu Wei was immediately happy, not to mention the duck. The yellow feathers really felt crispy.
There is no billboard on the side for the time being. Waterfowl lake has just repaired the nearby roads.
Wait until the zoo introduces some waterfowl, and then make the corresponding exhibition signs.
The beautiful environment has attracted many tourists for a walk.
Walking in the shade of tall trees on the bank, watching the waterfowl swimming leisurely in the lake, enjoying the cool and gentle breeze by the lake, it is really very comfortable.
An old man sat on a bench on the bank, watching the waterfowl and listening to the radio.
Some children also squatted down, put their hands out of the outer wooden fence and fiddled with the water, trying to interact with the Red duck.
But these ducks swim in the lake and don't lean against it at all.
Volunteers watch by the water. If tourists want to throw some bread into the water, they will come forward to dissuade them.
