Chapter 354

As for outdoor activity venues, the first is the material. Of course, we should choose natural ground. There should be all kinds of grass, sand and soil. Otherwise, elephants can't get exercise in a single environment and are easy to be bloated and fat.

Adult males are very destructive and more dangerous, so a separate area needs to be built for males. This is because elephants have different habits. Generally, Asian elephants need to separate male elephants from elephant herds, and African elephants can be mixed with female elephants.

Then there are all kinds of pavilions, shading facilities, artificial shading devices or large trees.

Elephants like to rub against trees. Small trees will collapse if they rub twice, and big trees can't stand a few times. If you plant trees in the exhibition hall, you have to take some protective measures. Generally, you use the power grid.

Through consulting the paper and the elephant keeper, Fang Ye learned that a special habitat frame of the elephant Pavilion is buried underground with several old tires, and the thick tree trunk is inserted in it, so that the thick tree trunk becomes elastic.

The elephant can stand the force when rubbing on it. It's very comfortable to stagger.

Of course, the trunk and tires should have corresponding fixing measures to prevent the elephant from pulling out the trunk.

Visual barriers, such as low walls and mounds, can protect vulnerable individuals from the pressure of strong individuals, and can also make elephants avoid the sight of tourists when they don't want to see visitors.

The high hanging point is also very important. Put food at a high place, such as a rubber wave management and filling a roll of hay, which is in line with the feeding habits of elephants. At the same time, it can also let elephants exercise their head and neck muscles, which is beneficial to elephants to maintain their body shape.

The location of the hanging point is, of course, a convenient place for tourists to visit. A bar can be hung between the two umbrella facilities.

This facility can be operated remotely, so that the breeder can supplement feed remotely without going into the venue.

All kinds of environment!

Water is very important for elephants. In hot summer, elephants can take a comfortable bath in the pool and shower to cool down.

The minimum requirement for the water depth of the elephant Pavilion is that more than half of the adult body can be submerged when lying comfortably inside. Fangye is going to build a large pool that can go above the head of the elephant.

The area is at least able to accommodate all individuals in the elephant group to take a bath at the same time. Elephants pay great attention to social animals. Bathing is carried out together.

It is equivalent to taking a bath in the bathhouse. In this process, it not only meets its own physical and spiritual needs, but also enhances emotional contact with other members of the family.

The bottom of the pool should be made of concrete, and the entrance should be a gentle slope of no more than 30 degrees, so that elephants can easily get in and out of the pool, and don't be in trouble if they can't get out. The vertical side wall needs a barrier so that the elephant can't fall in with one foot.

The pool area of the tiger Pavilion is 300 square meters, and the pool area of the elephant Pavilion is 2000 square meters, isn't it too much?

... it seems a little too much. A large pool is beautiful, but the land activity area is small.

Anyway, 1000 Ping is definitely needed!

A little lotus leaf can be planted behind the pool to enrich the landscape.

Coming up from the pool, the edge is covered with thick sand. Elephants can sprinkle sand happily.

There are also cliffs and waterfalls, which are almost standard in the zoo exhibition hall.

Pool, sand bath and mud bath are all equipped. These facilities are essential for elephants.

Animals, including wild boars and rhinoceros, like to roll in mud pits and put a layer of earth armor on their bodies to avoid mosquito bites and resist ultraviolet rays. And the water in the mud clothes can keep the body temperature for a long time.

Sometimes the mud pit in the wild is relatively small, so everyone can't go in. The parents of the elephant family will let the small elephants monopolize the mud pit and sprinkle mud with their nose on the side.

What, take turns? I have to go looking for food.

Beside these facilities, visitors can enjoy the natural behavior of elephants and the interaction between groups!

Elephants live happily and have various facilities to play. They are happy and less aggressive. When breeders get along, they can be safer. Tourists are happy and confident when they see elephants, and popular science is also persuasive.

The elephant exhibition area is so large that there is naturally a square for people to rest in the middle.

Fangye wants to build a mammoth square.

Mammoths, marking the end of the ice age!

As once the largest beast on land, like many animals, it disappeared in the long river of time.

Set up several statues of mammoths in real proportion on the square. Tourists will definitely sigh when they look at mammoths in the square and look at elephants from a distance.

This design includes a plot mode to guide people to look back, watch the present and think about the future, so as to realize the environmental protection problems facing the world.

The popular science exhibition will introduce the mammoth and the reasons for its extinction. In addition to global warming, food reduction and human hunting.

After reading the exhibition board, tourists may think.

What happened in ancient times is still happening today. Will elephants follow in the footsteps of mammoths?

If elephants and other animals continue to die out because of climate change, what will happen to mankind in the end?

Environmental problems have become more and more urgent. The temperature in summer is higher and higher year by year, various climate anomalies emerge one after another, more and more dangerous diseases, rivers expose dry river beds, and Riyue lake is a scenic spot famous for water. Now it is at the bottom.

Water resources are like this, and they have to be polluted.

The species in ancient times have been extinct. Now many animals are facing extinction. Let tourists know what they can do to protect these animals and at least increase their sense of crisis.

Children don't need to know this. They can touch and take a picture with the statue of a mammoth.

Because the mammoth statue is in true proportion, it must be dangerous to take a group photo at that height. What if you fall down.

If you get a guardrail, it will affect your senses too much.

So Fang Ye is going to build a mammoth statue with the size of a kindergarten slide, and install a staircase on its back so that it can ride up to play.

Although the elephant care center can not be opened as a whole, it can reserve the visiting surface in advance to show visitors how the breeders repair the feet of elephants.

As for other contents, elephant ivory and poaching must also be one of the popular science contents to let tourists understand the cruelty and disaster behind this seemingly beautiful rare animal product.

Fangye plans to go to the customs to find out if the confiscated Ivory can be used for exhibition.

This kind of thing can either be destroyed or sealed up. Although it can't be sold, it should be possible to apply for science popularization.

If it's not true, you can only get an ivory model.

Finally, the elephant Pavilion covers a total area of 17000 square meters! Another two thousand green leaf coins were spent to improve the system.

Among them, the animal house, nursing center, square and service area are removed. The elephant outdoor playground has 12000 square meters, and it takes 65W green leaf coins to complete the construction.

Fang Ye was sad for a while. Let's build it first. We have to think about how to earn green leaf coins.
