i have a zoo

Chapter 112 Reflection

After drinking Zhang Aimei's special kelp and mung bean soup, Qi Ming and Zhuge walked to the window of the cafeteria to order vegetables.

Qi Ming looked at the menu and felt difficult to choose. What is for lunch today?

Braised pork?Roast Duck?Or crispy pork?
In the past, the lunch and dinner in the cafeteria were basically a few fixed side dishes, and there was not much need to choose or too many choices.

Now there are more employees in the zoo, and the contents of the dishes in the cafeteria are also much richer. There are more than a dozen kinds of meat and vegetables, and there are more than a dozen scattered ones. It takes a long time to think about every meal!

Standing in front of the window, Zhang Aimei held a big spoon and looked at Qi Ming with a smile, without any impatience.

After contemplating for a moment, Qi Ming looked behind him: "Why don't you choose Xiaozhu first! I haven't thought about what to eat yet."

"Me first?" Zhuge Qi was a little surprised, seeing that he was not joking, he walked to the window,
Afterwards, the dishes were quickly ordered, "Sister Zhang, bring me a bowl of braised pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and a spicy rabbit leg!"

After he finished ordering, Qi Ming immediately said, "Give me the same one too!"

"Hey, why are there rabbit legs to eat today?" Qi Ming asked belatedly after ordering.

Zhang Aimei grinned and said: "Director, this is the last time my daughter bought a lot from the Internet, and I brought a dozen to the cafeteria. There are still a few rabbit heads here, the director. Do you want to get some for you?" indivual!"

"Well, then give me another rabbit head, just to taste the Sichuan flavor."

Zhang Aimei scanned Qi Ming's employee card, and after swiping the card, she immediately put braised pork, a hot and sour potato shredded pancake, and a plate of cut rabbit's head and leg on a large food plate.

Holding his own plate, Qi Ming sat on the table seat by the wall, picked up a piece of rabbit leg meat with chopsticks and ate it.

The rabbit meat just out of the heat preservation steam oven is still exuding heat, very tender, spicy with a little sweetness, which suits his taste!
Then pick up a chunk of braised pork with thick oily red sauce, stuff it into your mouth and bite it into pieces with a little force. Unlike rabbit meat, which is spicy and sweet, its taste is fat but not greasy. Sweet but not too sweet.

Qi Ming licked his lips and sighed contentedly: "The food in the cafeteria is really getting better and better!"

While he was feasting in the cafeteria, Zhao Jia, Zhao Dapeng and the others
After visiting the African style area, I returned to the macaque habitat, found a bench and sat down.

Although there are benches next to each exhibition area, there are green arrow bamboos and flowing streams here. Compared with other places, it is cooler and more eye-catching, and the breeze is very pleasant. It is worth walking a few more steps to sit here.A dozen or so tourists also sat in twos and threes, choosing to rest here for a while.

During the visit to the zoo, the mentality of Zhao Dapeng and Tao Yingying gradually changed.

Tao Yingying was originally attracted here by her favorite UP owner, but she is not that interested in the zoo.

But after shopping around, she fell in love with it a little bit, and sincerely thanked Lu Xue for letting her discover such a treasured leisure place!

The three of them sat idly and checked the photos taken at the zoo today.

Their favorite is the group photo taken in the alpaca habitat.

In the photo, the three of them feed the radish to the alpaca with their own hands, and look at the way the alpacas eat the radish with their lips moving.

All three are sighing, today is really worth it!It was the first time for them to be so close to animals in the zoo when they grew up so big.

"It's the first time I've touched an alpaca!"

"I took a lot of interesting photos today! I will post it on Moments later, and I will promote it to Jiajia Zoo by the way."

"I'm going to bring my family here to have fun next time I'm on vacation."

While they were busy reviewing today's journey, the macaque habitat next to them was also bustling with activity.

Several tree trunks with a height of five meters are inserted around the habitat and connected with special metal ropes to form two parallel rope bridges with a drop.

The length of the rope is longer than the distance between the trunks, and the middle of the rope bridge naturally droops with a certain curvature.

This is a newly installed perch in the macaque habitat.

Although the appearance is simple, the macaques like the new perch very much, and they have become very skilled in playing with it in just a few days.

A macaque was walking halfway up in the macaque's habitat, and suddenly grabbed a rock in front of it, stepped on it with its hind foot and kicked it hard, and the "bao" bounced high.In the blink of an eye, the whole monkey had already flown into the air.

"Oh!"

Some tourists couldn't help but exclaimed.

The macaque stretched its arms in the air, lightly and accurately grasped the rope two meters away, hooked its hind feet immediately, and swayed downwards.

While the rope bridge was shaking, it had already extended its arms to grab another rope by virtue of the strength of the shaking.

Then he straddled the rope bridge and happily swayed on the swing.

Even the most powerful acrobat among human beings can't easily complete the fancy operation just like it.

There is not only one monkey on the rope bridge, some monkeys are holding the top with one hand and stepping on the bottom with one foot, and they still have enough time to scratch their necks.Some monkeys hang under the rope bridge, hanging upside down like walking on the ground.

Ropes dangling back and forth had no effect on them at all.

On the edge of the perch, a monkey stepped on a slanted support and jumped down, climbed back to the macaque habitat, and then jumped from mid-air to grab the rope bridge, going back and forth, having fun.

What animal show do you want?Demonstrating natural behavior is animal performance at its best.

Everyone was stunned. Although everyone knew that climbing and jumping was a housekeeping skill of monkeys, they didn't have that kind of concept in their minds before seeing it with their own eyes.It's just oh, monkeys are good at jumping and moving flexibly.

Now I finally know that the monkeys are so agile, and they can climb up the swaying rope with ease. With such excellent balance, the rope seems to become an extension of their arms!

This is also one of the meanings of the zoo.Watching these vivid creatures do all kinds of wonderful actions with their own eyes, the shock that directly hits the soul, is a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than seeing them in books or on TV.

Modern people really need zoos.

Just like before, tourists couldn't help exclaiming when they saw macaques jumping on the rope bridge.

Visiting the zoo is the easiest way for people in modern cities to get in touch with animals.People don't have to risk their lives to go to the wild, and then take a long time to try their luck to find and wait. They can see the appearance and behavior of various animals at close range, and they can also hear their calls and even smell their scents.

Such an all-round and three-dimensional experience cannot be replaced no matter how you search for information or watch documentaries.

How can we truly understand the meaning of protecting animals and nature without experiencing it firsthand?
Zoos restrict the freedom of animals, but they can't do without. It is a "necessary evil".Therefore, only by doing a good job in popular science education, so that the public can gain a sense of responsibility and mission, can we live up to the sacrifices made by animals.
