Chapter 738

The hippo's mouth is as wide as the upper body of the breeder squatting by the pool.

It feels like you can swallow the breeder in one bite!

The breeder's arm poked around in the hippo's mouth, which made the tourists sweat.

"My God, this mouth is so big!"

"If the hippo's mouth is closed, its arm will not be directly bitten off."

Another keeper explained outside: "rest assured, we usually take care of hippos and conduct behavior training. Hippos are familiar with this operation. It's also very comfortable to clean their teeth and remove food residues, so we won't attack the keeper."

Someone asked curiously, "why should hippos brush their teeth? Will they decay if they don't brush their teeth? Who brushes their teeth in the wild?"

"I remember in the wild of Africa, there seems to be a kind of Egyptian babbler bird, nicknamed toothpick bird, which can pick the hippo's teeth! There is no Egyptian babbler in the zoo, so we can only rely on the keeper."

"Well, didn't you pick the crocodile's teeth?"

Tang Xiaoxin said, "anyway, I know it's fake to pick crocodiles' teeth. Crocodiles don't need to pick their teeth at all."

The keeper said: "in the wild, there are not Egyptian babblers picking their teeth. Their main food is insects or other aquatic animals. Hippos' staple food is plants. What do they eat in their mouth? It's more unreliable than picking their teeth for crocodiles

It's actually a matter of food. The feed eaten in the zoo is relatively fine, and there are all kinds of sugar rich fruits. Food residues are more likely to decay teeth, so we need our keepers to help them brush their teeth. "

"Oh ~"

Everyone made a sudden sound.

The breeder carefully examined the fat mouth, especially the root of the teeth.

Then he patted his fat and thick upper lip and made a sound of "piapia"!

Pangpang immediately opened his mouth to the maximum!

The breeder soaked the brush in the water and then brushed the hippo's teeth.

Brush left and brush right, Pangpang closed his eyes and behaved very skillfully!

"It looks so enjoyable!"

"Ha ha, I feel like I'm going to sleep!"

"See, hippos also have to brush their teeth. If they don't brush their teeth, their teeth will become black and yellow. You have to brush your teeth every day, do you know?"

Some parents take this opportunity to educate their children.

It was over in a minute or two. The keeper touched his teeth, checked the cleanliness, and gently rubbed it to make an oral spa.

Then take out some food such as sweet potato and pumpkin and put it in Pangpang's mouth as a reward for brushing his teeth.

Patted Pangpang's upper lip. Pangpang knew it was finished. He closed his mouth and chewed twice, and then slowly sank into the water.

"Eat after brushing your teeth, pay attention to it!"

"As long as you don't shit, hippos are still cute!"

The tourists were very happy and clapped.

……

The paddy field in the local exhibition area has just been irrigated these two days and has not been planted with rice.

Due to the epidemic situation, this farming activity was naturally cancelled, and the zoo staff will plant it by themselves.

When Tang Xiaoxin walked through the rice field, he suddenly said with joy, "Hey, dragonfly!"

Several dragonflies spin lightly in the air. Their translucent wings show a beautiful metallic luster under the sunlight, and their stomachs show a bleeding bright red, which is beautiful and moving.

Suddenly it flew away like an arrow off the string, and suddenly it stopped on the water surface of the rice field, with its tail in the water.

Sometimes it falls on a stone or slender grass tip, closes its wings and stands tall and graceful.

I couldn't help but get close, looked carefully and took two photos.

I never paid attention to dragonflies before. Now I find them very beautiful.

The appearance of dragonflies means that the ecosystem here is more perfect.

At this time, a red eared Bulbul came out of nowhere, swooped down and caught the dragonfly accurately.

He flew to the treetop with a dragonfly in his mouth and jumped around in front of another red eared Bulbul, as if he were courting.

Two red eared Bulbul danced and chased among the tree crows. There was a chirping and sweet bird song nearby, which was full of vitality.

……

Black eyebrow brocade snake hall!

The afternoon sun was warm. A yellow and black snake was lying on the windowsill, forming a group and basking in the sun quietly, giving people a feeling of peace and good years.

Brooms, bamboo screens, broken bowls, blackened walls and portraits of the kitchen god have a strong smell of fireworks.

Such a unique exhibition environment has attracted many tourists.

Those who grew up in the countryside showed nostalgic eyes, and those who had not been to the countryside looked with relish.

There is a small magnet with an arrow on the glass. It says "please look here".

Sometimes black eyebrows shrink under the stove or hide behind the broom of the pickle jar, which is not easy to find. After tourists find its figure, they can adjust the position of the magnetic sticker to help later tourists find it better.

Of course, the black eyebrow will be exposed to the sun. It can be easily found without looking at the arrow.

According to the popular science exhibition board next to it, the black eyebrow brocade snake is named after a striking black eyebrow line behind the eyes. It is called cauliflower snake together with Wang brocade snake.

Because of its large size, non-toxic and slow action, it is also the most common edible snake on the market.

Of course, what is sold in the market is under the banner of breeding. In fact, a large part of it comes from the wild, so that black eyebrows are almost endangered now.

Wild snakes have many parasites such as nematodes and tapeworms, which are very dangerous to eat.

Moreover, black browed brocade snake plays a great role in controlling the number of rodents. It is the natural enemy of norvegicus in the city. Its slender body can enter the rat hole and catch a nest of rats. Protecting snakes is actually protecting ourselves.

Many people are afraid of snakes, but if we know about snakes, we will know that 99% of snakes run away or are afraid to run away when they encounter people. At this time, we can stamp our feet to scare them away. It is absolutely unnecessary to hurt or kill snakes.

The tourists said, "this black eyebrow looks really handsome!"

"I've seen this snake before, and now I know its name."

"When I was a child, a cauliflower snake came into my house! My father heard something at night, got up and caught it and lost it outside."

"It's really rare to see them now. I hope they won't be the next sparrow."

"Ah, there are serious rat thieves in my house. At night, you can hear rats climbing up and down the pipe. The thieves are big. They often run to the kitchen and put their food on the cabinet. They can jump up. They have to close the cabinet door. They have tried all kinds of rat traps, rat cages and rat sticking boards. They are as good as ghosts. They don't work at all. I really hope black eyebrows can cure them."

"When people see a snake and don't shout to kill it or catch it to make soup, it's estimated that this idea can be realized."
