The environment of Shancheng Zoo is very good. Except for the giant panda exhibition hall, which has installed soundproof glass out of caution for treating national treasures, other animals are released into the wild as much as possible.
Fixed venues, semi-open visitor passages, and then build living environments based on the habits of different creatures - such as the red panda venue. The visitor trails are unremarkable, with half a wall built next to a person's waist. On the inside of the half wall, there is a lush jungle.
The outdoor environment is simulated very well.
Every few steps there are enrichment toys wrapped around tree trunks and hemp ropes. Red pandas can walk and climb and interact with tourists at close range. It is a good experience.
Although most people are now crowding into the panda venue, there are also many tourists lying down by the wall, looking at the agile and chubby red pandas in the jungle, and there is another burst of suppressed surprise. Call:
"So cute!!"
"The big and fluffy tail!"
"The color is a little orange, I really like it!"
"Look at its face , round, ah, I really want rua!”
“It’s coming! Is it willing to be touched?”
The red pandas at Shancheng Zoo are veteran employees.
Although there are many tourists and it is very noisy, it is not panic at all. At this moment, a familiar person jumped from the nearby tree to the wall that was half a person high, and walked forward with his little butt twisted all the way. The tourists who were walking next to the wall were so excited that they couldn't help but stretch out their hands and touch it secretly.
The commentator next to him was still talking: "Our red panda is very sensitive. You must touch it gently, don't touch the head, and don't scare it suddenly, it will bite... ”
Although the explanation is very clear, isn’t the red panda really trying to seduce people by walking back and forth on the wall like this?
Touch, touch again, stroke again...
Several hands passed through its soft and slightly hard hair. The red panda's expression did not change, but it made people frown.
The girls who followed also spoke bravely: "Can this be fed?"
The staff smiled and said: "We follow the voluntary principle. As long as the red panda is willing to eat, it can be fed - —The feeding items here start at 300 yuan, and for 2,000 yuan you can enter the exchange area and enjoy the fun of being surrounded by red pandas.”
His!
The girl who asked the question immediately fell silent.
“It’s so expensive, voluntary!”
“300 can only feed one person, right? Forget it, 300 is almost enough to order a single meal at Changleju…”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” Do you want to say that 2,000 is not expensive?”
There was a smile in Lu Chuan’s eyes: “2,000 is indeed not expensive. However, if you go by your consumption philosophy, then spending money on food, clothing, housing and transportation is the most cost-effective. If so, it depends on the individual.”
"For example, if you ask Qiao Qiao to pay the 2,000 yuan, will he feel distressed and cry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao nodded heavily: "300 yuan is really too expensive! Don't be sad, little sister, I You can feed it! You can watch it when I feed it later!”
New friends: “…”
I don’t know how to say it, so let me praise you for your thoughtfulness. As expected, Qiaoqiao took the carrot and went to find the staff.
After a short while, the staff helped to dispose of the carrots, and while taking him to the wall, they also said: "The boldest red panda is called Orange. It likes to eat sugar oranges the most. Recently, sugar oranges are so popular." It can’t be bought anymore. It can only eat one a day, and the one we prepared is the same. I don’t know if it likes to eat carrots like you.”
Qiao Qiao became confident: “Even Maomao likes it! Food!”
Although giant pandas and red pandas look very different in size and appearance, their diets are quite similar. The staff laughed when they heard this: “Okay, let’s try it. Try it.”
Everyone in the small group at the zoo knows that today there are 20 kilograms of bamboo shoots specially for pregnant Lin Rong, and there are also carrots and cabbage that cost 6 yuan a kilogram for Mao Mao. It turns out that their red pandas can also eat them. Arrived!
At this moment, Qiaoqiao was already carrying a stainless steel basin with pieces of carrots in it. The green and fluffy carrot heads were still placed on the side, which looked particularly attractive.
As expected, the boldest orange immediately climbed down from the enrichment props next to it. Its fat tail swept the tourists' hands along the way, making them feel itchy.
When Qiao Qiao feeds her, she follows Lu Chuan’s tips: don’t take the initiative, don’t force it, don’t make it sudden.
At this moment, the basin was held in his hand, and the carrot pieces were held in the palm of his hand and handed over quietly. Orange stared at it for a while, and then stretched out his paws to hold it - during this time, his tail was whispered by the girl next to him. Touched.
Red pandas eat as delicately as giant pandas. They are even very good at grabbing carrot pieces with one hand, then stuffing them into their mouths and chewing them...
The only difference is that, Their mouths are smaller and they eat more slowly.
The staff on the side were a little surprised - these 6 yuan carrots really had something to offer!
You must know that the red pandas in their mountain city zoo eat mixed apple meals most of the time. They do not deliberately feed them poor food or do not eat enough just to make them favored by tourists - look at them chubby The body knows that it is good to eat.
Carrots are not particularly fond of oranges, but now they are grabbing carrot pieces with one hand and nibbling them in small bites. Not only are they patient, but they even ignore the hands around them and touch them. Go to the harassment...
Sure enough, you get what you pay for!
The staff’s hearts are ready to move—in fact, those apples aren’t cheap, are they? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have some more carrots?
The next moment, I saw another red panda running over the wall.
Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately stretched out her hand to hold another piece of carrot and put it there. Unexpectedly, as soon as the other carrot came over, she saw that Orange had stood up in an instant, with the hair all over his body exploding and his fangs bared. The girl next to me was so scared that she didn’t dare to sneak anymore!
"Ah! Is there going to be a fight?"
"No way? I've been here before and watched the official video. Don't their red pandas often eat on the same plate?"
“Yes, is it in a bad mood and wants to beat someone up?”
"Don't tell me, it's really possible that red pandas fight fiercely and beat people very hard-"
The words stopped abruptly.
Because Orange had already flown forward and started fighting with the newcomer on the not-so-wide fence!
The most outrageous thing is that neither of them moved their mouths - because they both had a piece of carrot in their mouths!
Just, the four claws kicked the hair flying everywhere, twisting around like a cat, but didn't open its mouth!
Finally, Orange couldn't help it anymore and opened his mouth to bite it——
"Pa."
The remaining quarter of the carrot fell directly into the grass behind the wall, and Orange was instantly stunned. . (End of this chapter)
