Chapter 26 Flamingos

Why is it difficult to modify the cages of animals in the animal zone?

On the one hand, the area of ​​their cages is large, it takes a long time to transform, and more capital investment is required.

On the other hand, if the transformation is carried out on the opposite side, these animal protection facilities also need to be updated.

However, Qi Ming is only removing the concrete floor of the park initially.

Some supporting plants and habitat designs can only be remodeled later when funds are abundant
Qi Ming in the animal area thinks that the first thing that needs to be remodeled is the alpaca breeding area.

Because of the alpaca, simply replace the cement floor with grass, which is the easiest operation.

And it will be more troublesome if they want to remodel like the wolf circle.

But no matter how difficult it is, the monkey mountain in the round pit and the wolf circle surrounded by 280° will become a thing of the past.

However, Qi Ming hasn't figured out how to transform the two big heads of Wolf Circle and Monkey Mountain.

As for Doudou, Qi Ming thinks that a little renovation is enough, the overall facilities of the Elephant House are relatively new.

The ground in the stadium is also soil, but the rich content needs to be added. He is thinking about whether to add a bunker for Doudou.

Because elephants in the wild like this, but whether to choose a sand pit or a mud pit, Qi Ming still needs to think again.

After selecting the rare bird area and the alpaca pen as the first batch of renovation points,
Qi Ming is going to check domestic and foreign materials first, and make reference to the transformation of Wolf Circle and Monkey Mountain.

Seeing the fiery red body of the flamingo in the computer data, Qi Ming suddenly remembered something.

"Oh! I haven't seen the flamingos that were rewarded just now!"

Seeing the pictures on the computer, Qi Ming suddenly realized that he
It seems that I haven't seen what the rewarding flamingo looks like yet.

Put down the mouse and lie on the chair, he enters the game,

Qi Ming had a hard time finding it, and finally found the flamingos in an extra category in the backpack.

Now there is an extra entry called animal temporary shelter in the lower part of the backpack.

The flamingo rewarded by the task is among them, and the interface of this animal's temporary shelter is different from the usual arrangement in the game.

It is not a single species stacked together, but each individual occupies a row.

Moreover, the introduction of each individual and the animal market are generally arranged, and the information of each flamingo can be clearly seen.

There are a total of six flamingos rewarded by the mission. Qi Ming took a look and found that there happened to be three males and three females.

There are clear pictures of flamingos at the front of this information bar,
Most of the flamingo's feathers are pink, with white interspersed in the gaps.

Its body is oval, like a flattened egg;

And their necks are long like an S shape, and their mouths are curved like a black sickle.

The lower body has two long thin feet, which form a strong contrast with the body.

Looking at the beautiful flamingo in the photo, Qi Ming couldn't wait to put this beautiful bird in the zoo.

But after the excitement of seeing the new animal faded, he thought of another question, how could he let the flamingo out.

And when the flamingos appear among the animals, how should I file with the Forestry Bureau?
With regret, Qi Ming clicked on the upper right corner of the interface?Number.

[Animal temporary shelter is the place where zoo animals live temporarily. Players are requested to resettle animals as soon as possible. 】

[Animal temporary shelters to release animals, you can select a habitat (cage) from the game perspective on the homepage
Then click the imported animal displayed in the animal column]

[The source of animals will arrange reasonable channels for players, don't worry! 】

After reading these words, I thought of the situation where the system arranged for 100 million to be in my hands just now,
Qi Ming probably had a guess as to how these animals got into his hands reasonably.

But now that he knows how to import animals, Qi Ming quickly forks off the backpack column and enters the home page.

Clicking into the game view interface, Qi Ming found that the 3D model of the zoo was different this time.

There is a fine boundary line in the air above each animal cage,
There is also an extra switch next to his viewing angle, showing that it is on.
Qi Ming instinctively felt that this might be the switch for the cage to have more boundaries.

After trying to turn it off with his mind, he found that the zoo in front of him had returned to the real feeling before.

He tried to turn on the switch next to him again, and the zoo with the faint boundary line of the cage appeared in front of Qi Ming's eyes again.

Looking at the different zoos ahead, Qi Ming casually clicked on the blue peacock breeding area closest to him.

[Blue Peacock Habitat: Simple concrete structure, animals don't seem to like this place very much]

【Cleanliness: 89%】

【Fence status: 99%】

[Species Report: Blue Peacock*2]

[Tourist's impression: Look at that peacock! 】

[Visitors' comments: You can enjoy it from here! 】

[Visitors' comments: What a garbage zoo! 】

This is the information bar that appears when you click on the blue peacock breeding area.
And what appears above is only one-fifth of the entire information bar.

Qi Ming clicks on the icon like a mountain among the five icons on the information bar,

What he found was specific to the topographical distribution within the habitat.

【地形分布：草地0%、岩石0%、沙地、0%、雪地0%、土壤0%、水泥100%】

Click on the icon of the plant to display the distribution of the habitat plants.
The information of the penultimate animal icon is the specific information of the animal.

【Species in the habitat: blue peacock】

【Animal: Xiaolan Male Contraception (Off)】

Small Gray Female Contraception (Close)
Looking at the contraceptive switch in the animal information column, Qi Ming knew that it should be possible to decide whether to use contraception on animals through this.

In fact, contraception is a very common method in zoos.
Because some animals are particularly capable of giving birth, if there is no contraception, it is likely that all animals will be full of them.

For example, a blue peacock can lay forty eggs a year, and nothing happens to these forty eggs.
At least more than 30 small peacocks can be hatched. What an exaggerated concept if there is no contraception.

Qi Ming thinks this function is very good, most zoos will use contraceptive injections!
It is to implant a silicon capsule tube containing a progestin into the animal body, and the slow-release progestin can prevent them from conceiving for three years.

Of course, this is also a technology that has only been developed in recent years. In the past, it was more likely to be treated by physical castration and estrus cages.

But the former is likely to cause psychological problems in animals.
Qi Ming remembered that his father told him that there was an African lion named Simbak in the zoo next door,
Before being castrated, he was a very normal lion. He slept normally every day and harassed the lioness after waking up.

But after it was castrated, its temperament changed drastically, and Simbuck's proud hair began to fall off.
The majestic roar has become weak, it no longer has the capital to attract the opposite sex,
For this reason, Simbuck became fond of staying away from other lions, became more and more emaciated, and died in the cage after a short life.

[Non-text content] Animal anecdotes:

Red is not the original feather color of flamingos, but the astaxanthin ingested from small shrimps and small fish, which makes the original white feathers shine bright red.

At the same time, the brighter the red, the stronger the flamingo's physique, the easier it is to attract flamingos of the opposite sex, and the better offspring will be produced.
