Chapter 503

Elephants are very clever animals!

They need to constantly bring changes and challenges to make their brains work, otherwise they will be bored and dazed.

Therefore, the Fengrong of the elephant Pavilion is also the most complex and energy-consuming.

The sand dunes and mud ponds in the activity field, and the staff operate a small excavator to dig and build, so that the terrain that elephants can see every day is different from yesterday, full of freshness and fun of exploration.

This is also the unique abundance of sand environment.

In fact, for all animals, the invariable environment is very boring.

It's just that other pavilions can't change in such a wide range. They can only enrich the details.

It's like a little panda house. Add a slide to the little panda and move the habitat position.

Therefore, fangye also plans to make some air corridors in the predator exhibition area to connect different exhibition halls so that animals can live in another exhibition hall.

Meiling seemed not interested in hay. After a few bites, she stopped, took a huge step and walked away slowly!

Meilan saw this and walked with her.

There are many facilities in the elephant Museum for them to move. Elephants always have something to do.

Mei Lan walked forward. When she passed a tree trunk, she seemed to find something. She swept the roller hanging from the tree with her nose.

There are some holes on the roller!

Mei Lan's nose swept her, and she turned up and fell an apple from the hole.

This kind of drum capacity device is also common in zoos. There are some in the ring tailed lemur exhibition area, but their rollers are made of bamboo knots, while the drum size of the elephant Pavilion is relatively large.

Meiling impolitely rolled up the apple from the ground with her nose, stuffed it into her mouth and ate it.

Meilan was going to pick up the apple to eat. She looked at her and didn't say anything.

Then he continued to sweep the roller with his nose and fell an apple.

Meiling leaned over her head and grabbed her nose again!

Meiling is a bit picky. She likes to eat fruit rather than hay.

Of course, elephants like fruit.

Meilan also wants to eat apples and is robbed by Meiling one after another. She seems a little unhappy!

He slapped his ears, opened his mouth, didn't know what to say to her, and squeezed his body towards her, trying to push her aside.

Meiling grinned and smiled. Her nose and Meilan played around, as if to calm her mood.

What's there? It's just an apple!

Mei Lan is very angry. How are you? Is it an apple! You've been robbing me!

Liu Wei looked at the scene and said in surprise, "what are these two elephants doing?"

Wu jiancong guessed, "it seems that it's because the food is unhappy!"

Zhu Yuqi said strangely, "don't you say they are good friends?"

Some tourists also raised this question!

Fang Ye looked at the situation in the distance and said with a smile, "although Meilan and Meiling are good friends, good friends will make contradictions.

When two elephants eat, Meiling often takes Meilan's fruit away and eats it. Let's think about it. A friend often rubs your meal. Will you be angry over time?

So their relationship is very good. Even if Meiling likes to grab fruit, Meilan tolerates her disadvantage and usually plays with her. "

A tourist asked curiously, "Hey, gardener, how did you tell which of the two elephants is?"

Fang Ye explained, "Meilan is a little fat! Meiling is a little thin because she is picky about food and is not good at eating staple food. Another difference is that Meiling has a pair of small front teeth. "

"Oh, oh ~" the tourist showed a sudden look.

But some tourists wondered, "no, isn't Meiling a woman's name? How does a female elephant grow teeth, or is Meiling a male elephant? "

"I didn't even notice it had Ivory!"

Fang ye said with a smile, "this is a classic misunderstanding! In fact, not all elephants have exposed front teeth. Some males can't see ivory, and some females can see ivory, and they can grow very long. Therefore, ivory can't be used as the basis for judging the gender of elephants.

It may be that people associate ivory with power and strength. Power and strength are generally male characteristics. In addition, some people have no research. They say that those with ivory are male and those without ivory are female, or their teeth have been sawn off, which makes this mistake widely spread. "

"So it is!"

"Shit, did I always make a mistake before?"

"Up!"

The two elephants then played with the sand.

Swing your tail, suck on the ground with your nose and suck in the sand.

Then he raised his nose and threw it behind his head, and a pile of sand skillfully fell on his back.

He sucked another tube of sand, rolled his nose down, sprayed "poof" under his stomach, and sprayed sand on his stomach.

Pingping is also active here.

At this time, she went to the edge of the mud pond, knelt on the bank, touched the surface of the mud pond with the end of her nose, and put her nose under the water to explore.

For example, before taking a bath, human beings touch the water with their hands to see whether it is hot or cold!

Pingping is also feeling the muddy degree of the mud pond. At the same time, she tries to test the environment under the mud to see if she can step down!

Don't step on it. It's empty. You can't climb up if you fall into the pit.

This is the experience of learning from older elephants in the wild and in the family.

After groping for the environment under the mud pond, the whole elephant kicked his legs directly and slid into the mud pond!

Lying in the mud pond, he arched his body happily and rolled up, and his nose kept throwing mud and water.

"Hahaha, how lovely!"

"Happy like a few tons of children!"

"Ah, who is not a baby?"

"Ma Ma, the elephant is so happy!"

"Coco love has no head."

Tourists can't help smiling when they look at the way they roll and play in the mud pond!

Don't you want to relax when you come to the zoo to see animals.

The scene of elephants playing with mud is really very healing.

Liu Wei took out his mobile phone, took some photos and a video of the elephant in the mud pit.

"I thought the elephant was a mature and steady animal. I didn't expect to play like a child," he said

Gao Kaijin looked at Pingping playing with the mud and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "yes!"

Elephants are very attractive!

And it's a great display of animals for the zoo.

They basically move all the time during the day. Unlike pandas, they sleep most of the time.

However, most zoos can't provide them with a good environment, so that elephants can't show the interesting natural behaviors of mud pit rolling and bathing.
