Chapter 587

Leopard pattern palace guard, also known as "smile palace guard"!

Born with a lovely smiling face, people like it very much. It is also a very common pet guarding the palace.

This orange is a beautiful variant strain artificially bred. The primary color is actually black spots on a white background. The black spots look like leopard spots, so it is called leopard pattern palace guarding.

There are many variants of leopard pattern palace keeping, such as orange, albino, high yellow and radish tail. On the contrary, the primary color is relatively rare, which is not easy to get. Only on the tail can you see some spots.

Yan ganghui looked at him from the front. The leopard print palace keeper Shui Lingling's big eyes were shining with a bright light and spitting out a red tongue. He was like a husky. He smiled foolishly and was very infectious.

Looking at Su Hui from the side, her slender pupils and slightly raised corners of her mouth, in addition to being cute, seem to have a feeling of mystery and natural evil charm. She is very handsome.

It would tilt its head slightly and look at the visitors outside.

It seemed that they had no threat. They bent their heads to the waist, rolled their tails around them, raised one front paw, stretched out their little tongue and licked their fingers carefully.

Little claw is also very cute!

The five fingers have distinct roots, small and pink.

Leopard pattern will shed its skin every few weeks. Because the fingernails are bent, it is easy to remain at the end when peeling. If you don't lick it, it will affect the blood circulation over time.

Some leopard guards are stupid and can't lick and molt. They need the owner's help to clean up.

But the leopard guard is still very smart. He knows how clean he is.

"Wow ~"

Su Hui stared at the leopard pattern palace guard. Her beautiful face, sweet and charming smile and clever behavior were like creatures coming out of animation, which made her feel very excited!

Yan ganghui also couldn't help taking out his mobile phone and taking a picture.

Originally, I just wanted to be close to the elephant Museum. I was going to stroll around. At noon, I could have a meal in the animal restaurant nearby. Unexpectedly, the reptiles here are very charming. I was fascinated at first sight.

Seeing his girlfriend excited, he is happier than him.

The leopard guard licked his fingers, climbed in the box, moved for a while, drilled back behind the shelter of plants and stones, and went to sleep with his tail crossed.

……

Come to a four meter wide showcase.

It is also the bottom paved with small gravel. In the middle is a nest built by several large stone heads, and there are several spherical or slender cactus on the side. It looks like a dry desert environment.

A black gray snake with white patterns on its back, more than one meter long, meanders and crawls on the sand.

This is an Eastern sidelobe rattlesnake!

The most remarkable feature is the diamond white spots on the back, which looks like diamonds. Therefore, it is nicknamed diamond rattlesnake.

The flat triangular head slowly lifted up, vomited his letter and climbed onto the stone.

Lying on his stomach with another Western rattlesnake, his head on a stone plane, he sat motionless in the sun.

Yan ganghui observed his eyes and felt that the snake's expression was very serious: "it feels like a poisonous snake! It looks like a murderous spirit."

Su Hui said, "it looks a little fierce!"

At the end of its tail, there are mulberry shaped white rings, which are closely arranged one by one.

It's a poisonous rattlesnake.

There is a sign of rattlesnake wagging its tail beside the display cabinet!

It said, "do you want to know the sound of rattlesnake wagging its tail?"

Yan ganghui curiously pressed the button next to him, and suddenly heard the slight crisp sound of "ga la ga ga la ~" with a fast frequency.

Some are like baby rattling toys.

The exhibition also introduced some knowledge of rattlesnake tail!

Rattlesnake's tail is composed of keratin. Like human nails, it is connected layer by layer like joints.

The little rattlesnake has a section at birth. At this time, it can't make a sound. One section will be added when molting.

When there are more horny rings, wag your tail. The horny rings rub and collide with each other. When the sound is amplified in the empty shell, it will make a rattling sound.

When hunting at ordinary times, the muscles on the tail will control the cutin ring to stay still. When they feel a threat, they will wag their tail and make a sound to warn.

The study found that the rattlesnake's tail wagging sound is not invariable!

The tail wagging frequency was lower than 40 Hz when the threat was found to be approaching at the beginning.

Once the initial warning is issued, the threat continues to approach. The rattlesnake will quickly increase the frequency of wagging its tail to 60-100 Hz, which sounds louder.

Rattlesnakes can't hear the sound of wagging their tails. They rattle their tails to remind threats to stay away from themselves, not to lure food or communicate with their companions.

However, rattlesnakes in some areas are beginning to stop rattling their tails.

Sweet water town in the west of the United States holds the activity of killing rattlesnakes in the name of tradition every year. Rattlesnakes are removed from their nests far away from humans by means of gasoline and iron hooks, beheaded and skinned.

In order to avoid being hunted by humans, rattlesnakes choose not to rattle their tails, which also becomes more dangerous.

"This..."

Yan ganghui was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

LV Ye wandered around the exhibition hall. Su Hui saw him wearing a uniform and asked curiously, "Hello, how do you usually raise poisonous snakes? Aren't you afraid of being bitten by snakes?"

LV Ye replied with a smile, "look at our exhibition box. The water basin is on this side and the rock hole is on the other side. When we operate, the snake in it will automatically hide on the other side or the nest. As long as there is enough room for rotation, you don't have to worry. How do you feel? Are you afraid of harm?"

Su Hui said honestly, "the beautiful snake is OK. The rattlesnake is a little scary!"

LV ye said: "actually, rattlesnakes are very similar to us in some ways! You know, rattlesnakes also take children for a walk."

Yan ganghui opened his eyes in surprise: "ah!?"

LV ye said, "I'm a veteran reptile lover. I used to run around the world. A few years ago, I met a rock rattlesnake walking a baby when I was wild picking in huachuka and friends mountain, Arizona.

Several small rattlesnakes were very frightened when they saw us. Some began to run away, and some chose to shrink into their mother's arms.

Not long after the mother rattlesnake gave birth, her body was very shriveled, but she didn't run away. Instead, she stayed where she was, coiled her body, and wagged her tail very loudly to warn us.

Of course, we didn't disturb the family any more, and then we withdrew. "

Yan ganghui was shocked and his impression was overturned.

The previous impression of snakes was that they were cold-blooded animals and had no feelings. It seems to be taken for granted.

Now there is a question, does the snake really have no feelings?

Su Hui even had tears in her eyes!

The picture of the mother snake raising her head, although very weak, still trying to shake her tail and protect her child came to mind.

LV ye also said, "when rattlesnakes grow up, they will visit their relatives and friends and visit their relatives. They are also very inclusive. They can accommodate other kinds of rattlesnakes, non-toxic whip snakes and so on to winter together in their nests.

Our two rattlesnakes, the eastern and Western rhombola, are distributed in the East and west of America. They usually have no intersection, but don't you think they get along very friendly. "
