Four adult green peacocks can be seen on the lawn.
The two families took their babies and peacocks for a walk. They raised their heads and looked left and right from time to time.
Green peacocks are more wild, cautious and grumpy than blue peacocks.
Especially in the spring courtship breeding season, male peacocks will sing loudly every day to confirm each other's territory through singing and attract female peacocks.
Green peacocks in breeding period are very territorial. Young male peacocks may enter the territory of other male peacocks and launch challenges because of the need to compete for fields or mating rights. At this time, the owner must drive them away, and a big war is inevitable.
When fighting, like martial arts masters, the two peacocks will pace and circle each other, flap their wings, wait for the opportunity to jump up, peck with their mouths, and attack with a sharp distance from the back of the attached plantar until one party admits defeat.
Therefore, the two male green peacocks occupy different territories. They can't be seen in the same frame at ordinary times.
But peacocks are social animals in nature!
When the breeding season is over and the children grow up to a certain age, different peacock families come together to carry out group defense, find Danger Warnings and jointly resist foreign enemies. They get close together when they sleep.
The peacock mother combed her feathers and jumped down from the tree trunk, and the little peacocks jumped down with her.
I saw the breeder throw a handful of broken vegetable leaves onto the grass in front and rush up with his legs "swish swish", running fast.
The peacock mother paced gracefully and leisurely.
Fang Ye was in a good mood when he saw that the little green peacock was healthy and thriving.
"Tut Tut, the luster of Green Peacock Feathers is amazing!"
Fan Peng exclaimed, as if he remembered something, picked up his mobile phone and took two pictures.
Li Xing stared and showed joy: "the temperament is too elegant."
Fangye saw the two people looking at the Green Peacock's favorite appearance and said with a smile, "don't wait for me to send you their tail feathers?"
Li Xing was surprised and said, "won't it hurt to pull out the peacock? No, no!"
Fang ye and fan Peng immediately laughed and confused Li Xing!
Fang Ye explained: "male peacocks will lose their feathers after the breeding period. Blue and green peacocks are the same..."
During this time, you can often pick up "big eyes" one by one on the lawn.
In the few weeks of summer, the peacock's tail feathers will become uneven and fall off more during this time.
Not all at once, round.
When the peacock is fully grown, it will be the next spring. When it comes to courtship, the peacock will show its best state.
Therefore, the peacock tail feathers sold next to the peacock Pavilion in some zoos are not pulled from the peacock tail, but fall off naturally, and will not cause harm to the peacock.
He didn't plan to sell souvenirs for the time being. He sent two to Xinghe University and kept the rest first.
"Oh ~"
After listening to Fang Ye's explanation, Li Xing smiled awkwardly!
It was said that this gift was too precious. I was going to refuse it, but I finally accepted it since I would change feathers every year.
If you miss this village, you won't have this store.
Fang ye asked the breeder to get the tail feather. Fan Peng took it in his hand and looked at it fondly.
The tail feathers of the Green Peacock are as green as jade. It reflects a layer of elegant and deep gold in the sun. It is very beautiful!
Sighed: "the tail feather of the Green Peacock can be used as an heirloom! You must keep it well."
When Li Xing came out of the bird house, he said, "Mr. Fang, thank you for your gift. Then let's go? I'll go back and modulate the audio to make the blind date between the two Gibbons successful as soon as possible."
"Is it so urgent? Have you booked your ticket back?"
"I haven't bought it yet! I didn't expect to record a love song so smoothly before I came here."
Fang Ye warmly invited, "don't be so urgent. How about a hot spring? The hot spring hotel in our zoo is well received by tourists. By the way, talk about the story of gibbons."
Fan Peng was surprised. What kind of zoo does this even have hot springs!
When chatting on wechat, I thought Fang Ye was joking.
Quickly waved his hand and refused: "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
He came to the reception room and sat on the sofa. Fang ye took a can of rice wine out of the fridge and said with a smile, "I made it myself. Try it!"
Pour a drink for everyone.
Li Xing took a sip and felt that the taste was fresh and fragrant, with a faint smell of wine. It was cool and pleasant, and his mood seemed to be much brighter at once!
Praised: "good to drink!"
Fan Peng took a sip of rice wine, opened his chatterbox and spoke slowly.
After graduating from his doctor's degree, he prepared to study the evolutionary history of gibbon spouses and chose gibbon as the research object for more than ten years.
By studying the white browed Gibbons in Gaoligong Mountain, it is found that there is no white beard of East White browed gibbons. Is this an individual variation or a group difference?
Through further research, it is determined that they have obvious differentiation from East White eyebrow in terms of morphology, genetics, teeth and so on. It is necessary to give them a new name.
After thinking for a long time, I felt that we should have a loud name and make a big splash to attract more people to pay attention to this species.
Finally, he took a very cool name, Skywalker gibbon, Skywalker.
First of all, gibbons are typical arboreal animals. They live in trees all their life. Gibbons in the wild don't go down trees.
"Tianxing" well describes their behavior of living in the tree canopy and their flexible posture of walking and moving on the tree.
You can also rub the popularity of the legendary Luke Skywalker in Star Wars to attract the attention of the world.
In Chinese, there is also a famous saying that "heaven is healthy, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement". Taoism stresses the laws of nature, which is very consistent with the current ideas of wildlife protection and environmental protection.
On the other hand, gibbons live in peace with the world, do not meet people, and never harm crops. They have been regarded as "gentlemen" since the Han and Tang Dynasties. They also hope that this species can strive for self-improvement and survive tenaciously in nature.
Fang Ye nodded and said, "it's really a good name! I feel very bold when I hear it!"
Then fan Peng talked about some things he met on his way to study.
When I first went to study them, I knew nothing about them, where they were and how many they were.
In the 1990s, his teacher had a survey on white browed gibbons. It was estimated that there were about 50-100 groups and 200, but the survey was not very comprehensive. It will be an investigation with mules and horses carrying materials. The food is limited and many remote places cannot be reached.
When he started his research, he conducted a comprehensive survey of the places where there may be white browed gibbons, and found only 30 groups, and 8 and 9 groups were added through people's interviews. It is optimistic that there are less than 200.
There are no more places where there are records. Only more than 10 groups are found where more than 20 groups are recorded. Many small populations have been locally extinct, and the population decline rate is very obvious.
