The relaxed little panda saw it, the emotionally stable Capibala saw it, and the graceful giraffe saw it … … August 15th is the National Ecological Day, and the nature school of Hebao Xiaoxian led its reporters to Hefei Wildlife Park for an unprecedented ecological adventure — — Visit the zoo at night. Zhang Jun, a specially invited science tutor and biodiversity science expert of Anhui University, showed us the animals and gave us a vivid and detailed ecological lesson.

Primates are the absolute "protagonists" of the night.

If you want to say what animals in the zoo are the most eye-catching, it must be primate monkeys! On the same day, the reporters of Lianhe Daily first met a group of Japanese monkeys living on the "island".

At sunset in the western hills, the temperature in the zoo dropped a lot compared with noon, accompanied by a breeze, which was cool. Japanese monkeys are like "welcome ambassadors" in Hefei Wildlife Park, performing their own "unique skills": some are grooming, some are fighting, some are taking care of their babies, and some are grabbing food … … The most eye-catching thing is a monkey in the water, which took the initiative to "show" its swimming skills. As the saying goes, "We refuse animal performances, but we can’t refuse that animals have to perform." I saw the monkey swim for a while, grabbed the leaves in the water and fiddled with them, looked and tasted them, and then threw them back into the water.

Later, the reporters of Lianhe newspaper observed the golden monkey, squirrel monkey, ring-tailed lemur, black-and-white colobus monkey, black-capped hanging monkey and white-cheeked gibbon … … Both monkeys and apes are very popular. Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Teacher Zhang Jun quickly popularized science: "There are five kinds of golden monkeys in the world, among which Sichuan golden monkey, Yunnan golden monkey and Guizhou golden monkey are rare and endangered animals unique to China, and these two are Sichuan golden monkeys in front of us."

At this time, the reporters of Lianhe newspaper discovered the mystery, and the names of primates were all related to their appearance. That’s right! Everyone observed it very carefully. "For example, Sichuan golden monkeys are also called snub-nosed monkeys because their nostrils are facing the sky." Zhang Jun introduced. What kind of monkey is the prototype of the Monkey King? "Some people say that the Monkey King looks like a macaque, while others say that its coat color is a golden monkey. Because it is a mythical figure, let’s leave it to the students to discuss! "

"Top Flow" Capibala family came to also.

Most people may have this strange feeling about Capibala, the latest "top stream" in the animal kingdom. All this stems from the fact that they accidentally caught fire on the Internet. Some people joked that this is because their emotions are too stable and cured the "impetuous and uneasy" modern people. Visiting the zoo at night, the reporter of Lianhe newspaper and Capibala had a happy encounter.

"It’s Capibala, Capibala!" In the capybara museum, the reporters shouted excitedly when they saw the yearning Capibala. The Capibala family is also enjoying the cool leisurely. Some of them "meditate" on the spot, some feed on the spot, and some are in a daze. As always, they are "emotionally stable" and focus on "don’t move if you can". No matter what happens around them, it can stand upright and fearless.

On the origin of the name of Capibala, Mr. Zhang Jun told us that its scientific name is "capybara" and the English name of the dolphin is "Capibala". The capybara is an animal that lives in South America and the largest rodent in the world. It eats plants for a living. If you look closely, you will find that the capybara has 14 toes, four toes on the front foot and three toes on the back foot.

Not long ago, Hefei Wildlife Park also launched an interactive naming campaign for capybara babies. After everyone’s voting, the names chosen for the little ones were "Jiajia", "Fruit Fruit", "Star" and "Want Want", which means that the country is prosperous. That night, I wonder if these "four little ones" came out to enjoy the cool with their parents!

The little panda full of relaxation hides in the tree to enjoy the cool.

The sunset gradually reddened the clouds in the west, and the whole zoo was shrouded in silence. After passing through the jungle path, two "big eyes" of MengMeng turned on the tree, and the vivid egret lights and giraffe lights showed us the way, and the lights were "fluttering", which made the night tour of this zoo full of mystery and became more interesting.

Arriving at the secret base of the little panda, the garden was silent and empty. "How come there aren’t any pandas!" Some children in the crowd sighed with disappointment. Teacher Zhang Jun’s words immediately aroused everyone’s interest. "If you want to find the panda, you have to look up."

"Wow, in the tree. There are two! " "No, there are three!" Following the direction of everyone’s fingers, I saw three teddy bears lazily "hanging" themselves on the tree, and their limbs were still swinging in the cold. In this cool evening, it was very pleasant. After a while, the fourth one also ran from a distance, slowly climbed to another tree, climbed to the branches of the trunk, and hung himself on the branches with his chest down, which made the onlookers present envious.

Zhang Jun told everyone that at first, the name panda actually referred to the red panda, but after it was "requisitioned" by the "national treasure" giant panda, they had to be called "red panda". Like the giant panda, the red panda’s favorite is bamboo, which is as rare as the giant panda. At present, it is listed as a national second-class protected wild animal in China.

Happy time is always short, and the 90-minute night tour seems to slip away in an instant. That night, the reporters also visited the red kangaroo from Australia, the slender-tailed mongoose who can stand guard, the elegant giraffe, and the alert tiān deer … … A mysterious, interesting and popular science night tour in the zoo ended successfully with laughter.
