After watching the ring tailed lemur, I came to the golden monkey exhibition area.
The golden monkey exhibition area is close to the bamboo forest panda hall, which together forms the theme of Wolong bamboo sea.
After watching the pandas, you can go directly along the path to the golden monkey exhibition area. However, Liu Wei and his team went straight to the panda museum after entering the zoo. After watching the pandas, they went to the bird Museum for a walk, and then came to the monkey world.
In the golden monkey exhibition area, the ground is uneven and slightly undulating, covered with a layer of light green grass.
In the exhibition area, there are simple wooden pavilions built of logs, umbrella shaped sheds and perches for climbing, which are more than ten meters away.
There are crooked trunks, lying on the ground, beside the perch or on huge stones. There are clusters of lush brown bamboo around, spreading the leaves, which has a very primitive and natural atmosphere.
Several tall or short trees are distributed in various positions of the exhibition area. There are flexible rope bridges between the trees! They are all special metal ropes, which are not only painted dark green, but also very similar to natural vines.
When a gust of wind blew, the rope bridge shook slightly.
Big trees, rope bridges, perches and stones constitute a three-dimensional space scattered at random!
Golden monkeys usually mainly move in trees, so they need to be provided with enough climbing places.
Outside the exhibition area is a flowing stream, a few meters wide, with some green plants with wide leaves planted on the edge.
Against the background of trees and plants, the stream is a clear dark green with rippling water waves. Under the irradiation of the sun, it reflects bits of golden light, giving people a leisurely and leisurely feeling. The scenery is beautiful!
The barrier of metal mesh is too difficult to watch and take photos, but the glass curtain wall will lead to the problems of lack of ventilation and high temperature in the exhibition area, so it is best to use water as the barrier.
In fact, most primates are not very good at swimming. There are plenty of climbing trees in the exhibition area. Golden monkeys are family group activities, so don't worry about them running out.
Outside the exhibition area, across the stream, a wooden shed was built in the corridor.
Liu Wei and his family were in the wooden shed, enjoying the golden monkeys inside.
Dabao is sitting on the perch of the umbrella shaped straw shed, facing the tourists, revealing his big round belly!
Golden fur, shining with a layer of golden light in the sun, with a layer of glittering blue on his face, occasionally turns his head, grins and reveals his teeth. He looks very imposing.
Lily sat on the grass, clawed on the ground twice, and then pulled hard. A handful of grass was pulled down and stuffed into her mouth. And Yaya is combing Xiaobao's hair.
Suddenly, Dabao stood up and jumped down from the platform of the perch!
The arms extended, retreated and slightly bent. Bundles of slender brownish red and gold long hair on the back floated upward, like a cloak, and like a gliding flying squirrel, with open arms and a wide flying film between the front and rear limbs.
The long tail swings gently behind him, holding the balance.
Obviously, the figure looks big and round, but the falling posture is extremely light and beautiful, with an elegant and natural beauty!
Holding a vine in the air with both hands, the arms are light and comfortable. The golden sun passes through the long hair behind Dabao, like the sugar silk pulled by the sugar man teacher, with dazzling gold in the bright red.
Like an elf flying among the trees!
When the soles of Dabao's feet gently grasped a branch below, the long hair of the floating cloak began to fall back, and the people came back to God, and there were startled voices one after another!
"The golden monkey is so beautiful! SA and cool! "
"Lying trough, this jump is a little handsome!"
"I feel the leap of faith in the assassin's creed!"
"The hair on this back is so elegant. It can grow so long!"
"How elegant! What shampoo did you use? "
"Hey, did anyone just take a picture? I was stunned just now and forgot to take pictures! "
"Shit, I forgot, blood loss!"
Gao Kaijin scratched his head and said with a smile, "I was shooting just now. I just caught it!"
The monitor immediately brightened his eyes, patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "great! Brother, go back and spread it to the group! "
Gao Kaijin made an OK gesture: "no problem!"
Dabao takes off from the perch, grabs the vines, steps on the branches and lands on the ground in one go!
Although the process was very short, the beautiful and elegant posture stunned everyone. This scene was deeply imprinted in my mind, and I couldn't help recalling the scene over and over again.
The keeper smiled and introduced to the crowd: "the golden monkey that jumped down just now is called Dabao! As you may have noticed, it is the most burly of these golden monkeys. Because he is a male and the boss of the family!
In addition to being strong, the male golden monkey also has a feature that the hair on its back is very long and looks like a cloak. Especially when jumping in the air, the hair floats up and is very natural and elegant.
This is like the tail feather of a peacock, which is conducive to attracting the attention of female golden monkeys.
You can notice that the hair on the back of the female golden monkey is obviously shorter. "
When Liu Wei heard this, he observed it carefully!
It was found that, as the keeper said, although the golden monkey eating grass on the grass also had a lock of golden hair on its back, it was mainly concentrated in the area behind its neck. It looked like a shawl rather than a cloak.
When Dabao walks on all fours on the ground, the thick long hair on his back will spread down to his waist and abdomen.
The gap is very obvious.
Some people can't help sighing: "this golden hair is really beautiful. No wonder it's called a golden monkey!"
"Eh, I remember Yunnan golden monkeys are black. Why are they also called golden monkeys?"
The keeper smiled and said, "it's called golden monkey because Sichuan golden monkey was first discovered by people!
As the student said, in the golden monkey family, in addition to the Sichuan golden monkey with beautiful golden fur, there are also the Yunnan golden monkey with black and white fur, the Guizhou Golden Monkey with grayish brown fur, and the almost all black Nujiang golden monkey.
Most golden monkeys live in Plateau and mountainous areas with an altitude of more than 2000 meters. With the increase of altitude, the demand for warmth has become higher. Dark fur is conducive to absorbing heat, so the fur color of other golden monkeys is relatively dark.
Compared with golden monkeys, there is a name that can better represent their characteristics called snub nosed monkeys! Because they live at high altitude, oxygen is thin, so the bridge of the nose bone degenerates, leaving only two upward nostrils, which is more conducive to breathing.
There are pictures of golden monkeys here. You can have a look. "
When Liu Wei heard the speech, he turned and looked at the exhibition board hanging on the shed. He was surprised to find that it was indeed a nose to the sky!
There is also an interesting question on the exhibition board: "the golden monkey's nostrils are facing the sky. Will there be water in its nose on rainy days?"
Not make complaints about it: "good guy, this problem, no ten years of cerebral thrombus can not think of it!"
