Chapter 670

A tourist asked, "is it possible for otters to recover after that?"

The breeder must nod and say, "there is hope!

Before the 1970s, the river pollution in Singapore became more and more serious with the development of the city. The rivers were blocked and polluted by garbage, and the native river otters on their side disappeared.

In 1998, wild river otters reappeared and gradually multiplied.

At present, otters can be seen in many rivers and wetland parks in Singapore. They live and hunt in rivers, share the environment harmoniously with humans, and become the highlight of urban ecological landscape.

Students who have been to Singapore should be able to see all kinds of signs on the street reminding them of otters nearby. In fact, this process of environmental remediation took only a few decades. "

"Oh, I seem to have seen a video of the quarrel between the otter families in Singapore! Two otter families swam across from both ends of the river, whining and yelling all the time. The scene was as interesting as a knight charge."

"The ecological protection over there is really awesome, and it is worth learning from."

The keeper added, "another threat is that otters are very cute. Now there is a trend in Japan to keep otters as pets.

Wild otters are very aggressive, and they spend at least five hours a day hunting. They are energetic, have high demand for the environment, and are semi aquatic. This is not suitable for pets at all.

The otters native to Japan have been declared completely extinct ten years ago. The small clawed otters raised by their net red are all from overseas. The small clawed otters live in groups. When catching a cub, a family of otters is often killed behind the pet.

Let me tell you that it is illegal to raise otters in China. Otters are secondary protected animals, and there is no saying of pet otters at all. "

"The Japanese are really not doing very well in this regard."

"And owl cafe or something, which is also done by the Japanese."

Some tourists threw their mouths and shook their heads in disdain.

Hearing this, Yugong held his skirt in his hand and lowered his head in shame!

Although the tourists' discussions were not deliberately aimed at her, they still felt heartbreaking.

After listening to the breeder's explanation, the tourists dispersed to enjoy the otters.

Liu Wei looked at Yu Gong's heart and felt a little depressed. He comforted: "it's all right. It's not your otter."

Yugong's heart whispered, "I also liked cute little clawed otters before. Watching some pet otters interact with their owners, I think they are very cute. Praise such videos.

Although I didn't raise them, my praise virtually makes more people see such videos, and someone may want to keep them as pets.

When I see such videos in the future, I won't praise them any more. I have to popularize science to my friends. "

I saw a donation box with a QR code nearby. I quickly scanned it and donated 100 yuan to the protection of otters.

Looking at the otters in the venue, his palms folded and said sincerely: "red bean mud private Marseille!"

Liu Wei saw the inclined downward passage in front and said in surprise, "Hey, it seems that we can go down here. Let's go down and have a look?"

Yugong Xin adjusted his mood: "Hmm!"

Through the glass curtain wall, I looked at the green water on the shore, which turned blue and dark, and there were fallen leaves floating on the water.

There is a section of sunken wood at the bottom of the water, and the roots of the tree are Qiu knot, like hair sticking out of a person's head.

This can be said to be the most wonderful part of the otter exhibition area!

An otter floats on the water, its body is underwater, and its claws are on the root of a tree.

Another otter, with its body upside down and its head facing downstream, flexibly drilled through the gap between the roots, spitting out a string of bubbles from time to time.

Several sections of tree roots extend around, and the arc is like the shape of an arch.

The otter turned his belly, kicked his paw on the root of the tree, passed through the arch, and surfaced from the bottom of the water. His posture was very flexible.

"Wow!"

Liu Wei couldn't help exclaiming.

They feel more flexible than penguins underwater!

Of course, penguins are chubby, otters are slim and flexible, and the visual effect is different.

Yugong's heart was fascinated: "they love to play! They are really energetic."

Next to an interesting popular science exhibition board, it said: "the swimming speed of small clawed otter can reach 10km per hour. When underwater, it can close its nostrils and ears, and the diving time can reach 6 to 8 minutes."

Another otter dived down.

Swim to the glass curtain wall, turn your head and look out curiously.

Because of the poor brightness, tourists are generally invisible, but they can still be found when they are close.

Some tourists face up and wave: "hi ~"

It seems that I was startled by the sudden appearance of my face!

The otter smeared oil on the soles of its feet, dived into the water and drilled into a bamboo basket half buried in the soil.

The bamboo basket looks like a nearby farmer accidentally fell into the water when picking wild vegetables, was swept away by the stream and buried in the soil.

It enriches the underwater environment and adds two different interests.

Not only is it an ornament, otters can also use it to play, hide and do some interesting behaviors.

Then the otter's head poked out of the jar and looked carefully outside.

After a while, I felt no danger and drilled out again.

Otters swim around in the water. Some otters play with sticks, and some naughty otters also swim in fancy style, rotating 360 degrees while swimming.

The tourists enjoyed it and were excited: "ah, this environment is really good!"

"The little guy is so cute!"

"I blew up the underwater exhibition area! I feel I can see it all day here."

……

Back at school, yugongxin and Liu Wei waved goodbye at the school gate.

"Bye ~"

"Well, we'll play together next time!"

"OK."

As soon as Liu Wei returned to his bedroom, he was surrounded by his roommates who pretended to be vicious and kept asking questions curiously.

"Boy, tell the truth. How's it going today!"

"How does it feel to visit the zoo with beautiful Japanese schoolgirls? Do you hold hands?"

"Why don't you invite us to dinner?"

"What do you think? I just went to a zoo."

Liu Wei's mouth is plain, but his heart is still very sad.

Now it's just an ordinary friend relationship. I'm going to visit the zoo a few more times in the future. Isn't this feeling deepened.

Yugongxin returned to his bedroom and sent today's visit experience to the social networking website.

The lovely giant panda, the magical head of the lion, and the great zoo environment have made Linhai zoo a small fire on twitter!
