Chapter 209

The zoo opened at night for the first time. Of course, fangye also strolled around the park.

Wandering from the tiger pavilion to the wolf Pavilion, I heard the wolf howl from a distance.

Seeing the tourists, he greeted them with a smile and said, "how's it going? Have you seen the wolf?"

"Hello, principal!"

"Good evening, principal!"

"I saw the wolf. I just ran here. I don't know where I'm going!"

The tourists said hello, and then someone couldn't wait to ask, "the sound of wolf howling is terrible, director. Can wolves eat people?"

"Yes, the eyes are as faint as a ghost fire. It's too scary."

Fang Ye was funny: "are you all afraid of wolves? Why are you afraid of wolves? "

"Not afraid during the day, afraid at night!" A tourist is very honest.

A middle-aged man said with a frozen face: "I heard the old man say that every year, children in the village are taken away by wolves. Sometimes children play by themselves in the yard and can't be seen when the family comes out.

Once, when the wolf was walking into the ditch with a child in his mouth, he was stopped by the villagers. The family behind him was still chasing him. The wolf saw too many people, so he threw the child down and ran away. Although the child was lucky to survive, he was bitten by the wolf and disfigured. When he grew up, half of his face was covered with scars. The truth about us! "

"Wow!" The nearby tourists made a low cry of surprise.

"My old man also said that in the 1940s and 1950s, the wolf disaster in the Northeast was very serious! At that time, wolves were not afraid of people. They often haunted the village in groups and even broke into the village, attacking and wounding people and stealing livestock from time to time. "

Another tourist Si Suo said: "I remember seeing a news before that a female college student went to Qinghai alone and lost contact for 20 days. The police finally found her body in Hoh Xil, leaving only bones. It was ruled out that he killed it, so it must have been eaten by animals such as wolves or bears!"

The tourists are thrilled to hear it and feel terrible to think about it!

After listening to everyone, Fang ye said, "this is more complicated. First of all, I can tell you a simple conclusion, that is, you don't have to be afraid of wolves, because there have been few incidents of wolves attacking people in the world in recent 20 years.

The few incidents of wolves attacking people also occurred when wolves ate livestock. People clashed with wolves in order to protect livestock. In the process of the conflict, people were injured. "

A tourist couldn't help asking, "what's the matter with the female college student killed by the wolf?"

Fang Ye looked at the tourists here. They were adults and had no children. They could talk about some in-depth topics, so he patiently explained: "people lost contact for 20 days. For such a long time, it is possible to freeze and starve. Although animals will not attack people, they will eat corpses. After the corpse rots, the smell spreads. Wolves, bears, eagles and vultures eat rot. they will naturally be attracted to eat the corpse.

There is no evidence that people were attacked and killed by wild animals when they were alive, but as soon as we heard that there were only bones left and excluded him from killing, did we directly identify the murderer as a wild animal or even a wolf? "

Suddenly, several tourists nodded silently, and someone looked reflective. It seemed that it was true. Without much thinking, they put the black pot on the wolf.

Fangye spread his hands and said helplessly, "this is the stereotype and prejudice people have against animals such as wolves and tigers. When they think of them, they will think of 'ferocious and tyrannical dangerous beasts'.

Of course, there are reasons for this prejudice. There have been wolf disasters and tiger disasters in history. Therefore, in many literary and artistic works at home and abroad, these carnivorous beasts are negative images, such as "Little Red Riding Hood and grandma wolf", "when friends come, there is good wine, and when jackals come, there is a shotgun." this negative image has also been handed down with literary and artistic works and is still rooted in the hearts of the people today.

But today's environment is different. There are not many tigers and wolves left. The probability of meeting wolves or tigers in the wild is even smaller than winning the prize.

And when they meet people in the wild, they basically walk away from people. You are afraid of them, and they are afraid of you. "

"So it is."

A big brother with a strong figure said with deep feeling: "yes, people's understanding of animals should be constantly improved, and they can't stay in the past. I didn't have a good impression of wolves at first, but after I visited the wolf Pavilion several times and saw those popular science exhibition boards, I understood their role in the ecosystem, and my impression changed. "

"Big brother is right. Let's eliminate prejudice, correctly understand animals and know how to treat animals. This is also the significance of our zoo." Fangye thumbed up and praised big brother.

When it comes to this topic, explain it clearly. Otherwise, just saying that wolves will not attack people now can not completely dispel people's concerns. By the way, you can also talk about how to deal with wolves in the wild.

"As for why wolves attack people, some researchers have investigated and finally classified the reasons into four categories: rabies, defensive attack, predatory attack and competitive attack," he continued

The tourists listened attentively!

Fang ye said: "it's easy to understand rabies. Wolves will become manic, leave the wolves and bite everything around them that can move and can't move.

The difference between the attack of the sick wolf and the predatory attack is that the sick wolf bites whoever it catches. The attack is random and will not eat the victim. However, wolves are not the main host of rabies, and there are few cases of sick wolves hurting people.

As for defensive attack, it is a passive attack launched by wolves because of fear or anger when people invade wolves. The purpose is to escape people or drive people away.

For example, when the female wolf takes her cubs, people appear around the nest. The female wolf attacks people in order to protect the wolf cubs. In fact, it is the same with other animals. I think everyone has heard a lot of things about birds attacking people in order to protect the nest? "

Suddenly, a tourist said: "I've experienced it! Once, when I was walking, I met a bird on the ground. I was thinking whether it fell out of the nest. Later, I would not be caught by stray cats and was ready to take it back. As a result, two birds flew over and pecked me. I thought maybe their children were put down quickly. "

Fang Ye warned, "well, this is right. If you encounter this kind of chick falling outside the nest, you must not take it back at will. Most people don't know how to take care of young birds. The survival rate of domestic breeding is very low. Moreover, even if the birds are fed, they don't know how to find food and prevent natural enemies when they grow up. There is no doubt that they will die in the wild.

People's birds may have just failed in the test flight, and the parent birds are watching. In this case, just leave them directly or put them back into the Bush branches. If you are not sure what to do, contact the animal rescue center for professional help. "

The rescue of birds is also a matter that the public lacks understanding. After the bird museum is completed, there will be a special exhibition board to introduce it!

Back to the topic: "in case of inexplicable wolf attack, just evacuate this area first.

Defensive attacks, wolves attacking hunters, wolves attacking trainers, not to mention this. In this case, wolves usually attack only once quickly, rather than chasing and biting. "
