Chapter 580: Pedicure an elephant

Yan Ganghui looked stunned: "Good guy, such a big watermelon, the elephant can easily pick it up with its nose!"

Su Hui marveled at the cleverness of the elephant: "Wow, it's amazing, I know you can step on it before you eat it!"

Bobo stepped on the watermelon very well!

Let the watermelon split, but it will not become pulpy and inconvenient to eat.

The half-pulled watermelon rolled up and flowing with juice, revealing the sweet red soil, first brought it to the mouth, chewed it twice, and then sent it to the mouth. With a movement of the mouth, it slowly began to chew.

Full of wrinkles, his senile face was squinted, and he seemed to enjoy it.

It was sent to the mouth, and the nose was also sent in for a suck, as if a person had to lick his fingers after eating potato chips.

Eating a watermelon in summer to relieve heat and quench thirst is still very pleasant.

"Hardcore eat melon!"

"Eating a big watermelon is like eating a jujube!"

"Wow, do you eat all the watermelon rinds?"

"Of course I eat! What can't be eaten for elephants."

"It's an elephant!"

The tourists were talking lively.

Someone smiled and asked: "The director, is this melon ripe?"

Fang Ye chuckled, "I ran a zoo, can I feed the elephants with raw melon eggs?"

After giving Bobo the watermelon, he took another one out of the bag and handed it to Pingping. Meiling had already eaten the watermelon deliciously, and by the way, she also gave Meilan another one. This will all start to eat the second one, a little bit. You are welcome.

Seeing Meiling ate the watermelon, her nose was pulling the bag, and she was about to eat the third one, Fang Ye was speechless: "You are eating the bowl and looking at the pot! One elephant is just two melons, and your portion has already been eaten. It's over!"

He patted Meiling on the nose and removed the bag.

Meiling hesitated for a moment if she wanted to grab it by force, after thinking about it, let's forget it!

Originally, Xiangying was still very irritable and didn't have a good impression of human beings.

Now when I come to the zoo, the playground is open, and you can walk freely in it. No one uses a sharp elephant hook to stop her. This is not good, that is not good, there are sand pit mud baths and various enrichment projects to relieve boredom. Stay with good friend Meilan at any time.

In addition, a mental recovery pill was added to the daily feed, and gradually the grievances dissipated a lot, and the temper became less irritable.

Every time Fang Ye came, he brought them delicious food. Don't want to hurt him too much.

So he opened his mouth, screamed at Meilan rumblingly, stomped his feet, and signaled to go to activities together after eating.

Mei Lan glanced at Mei Ling, her nose stretched out and Fang Ye shook, and the two elephants gradually walked away.

Meiling walked to the side of a dirty hollow iron ball, flexed her nose and pushed it for a while.

This is her favorite toy recently!

It turned out that there was a tire in the playground, and it was kicked by an elephant. As a result, Meiling sat on it and broke the tire directly.

Recently, a durable tin ball was customized for them to play.

With another light kick, the iron ball rolled on the sand and rolled towards Meilan. Meilan also kicked.

It's like playing football, mainly Meiling is playing.

"Elephants can still play football!"

"so cute!"

Pingping watched Meiling play, as if she wanted to play with her, she looked at the bottom field.

Fang Ye smiled and said: "Ping Ping, I will come back to play again, this will give you a foot repair!"

To the tourists: "Do you know if you have ever seen an elephant pedicure?"

The tourists all showed curiosity and shook their heads!

"Does the elephant still have a pedicure? This is really strange, the first time I heard of it!"

"Why do you want to pedicure an elephant?"

Fang Ye said: "Everyone knows that elephants are the largest land mammals in the world! An adult Asian elephant weighs 3-4 tons.

For such a big behemoth, all the weight is on the limbs and four feet. The health of the feet is very, very important to them. It can be said that a little carelessness will lead to disaster.

It looks like an elephant’s feet are flat, just like a big foot. In fact, its foot structure is very fine, with sponge-like tissue inside, which can cushion the huge pressure from the body when the elephant is walking or standing.

The densely distributed nerve tissue can help elephants accurately perceive the ground and finely coordinate the state of their limbs.

Just like our human nails will grow longer, the elephant’s toenails will grow longer, and dead skin will gradually grow on the soles of the feet.

If you don’t take care for a long time, the dead skin is too thick and the nerve perception becomes insensitive. When you walk, you can’t sense the pressure and coordinate your limbs. The toenails are too long and the elephant seems to be walking on tiptoe, which is very awkward.

In this way, the joints are not evenly stressed, and over a long period of time, it will cause joint deformation and pain, which will bring pain to the elephant.

This is why we want to give an elephant a pedicure! "

A tourist asked: "Then why don't wild elephants need pedicure?"

Fang Ye smiled and said: "It's very simple. Wild elephants need to find food and water sources. They walk many roads every day, and the growth and wear of their feet and nails are in a balanced state.

But the elephants in captivity walk a lot less. The sand in our playground, coupled with all kinds of richness, allows elephants to walk around and keep moving, just to increase their chances of natural wear and tear.

It's the same for us. It evolved from monkeys. We used to live in trees, and our nails would naturally wear out every day when we climbed trees. I have inherited this amount of wear, but now there is no place to wear it, so I need to cut my nails frequently. "

The examples given are very simple and easy to understand, and everyone understands it.

Some tourists looked at their nails and thought about it. It turned out to be like this. I never thought about why nails would keep growing!

Fang Ye said: "I will take Ping Ping to get a foot repair. If you are interested, you can follow along to the nursing center. It is the nursing center."

He touched his flat nose and beckoned: "Ping Ping, come!"

Go ahead and follow behind me obediently!

Su Hui is very interested: "Walk around, you can't miss this scene!"

...

Heping came to the nursing center~lightnovelpub.net~ The radio broadcast near the elephant museum was also broadcasted: "Hello tourists, the director is preparing to pedicure the elephants at this time. I want to know how to pedicure the elephants. What does it look like?

If you are curious, you can come and watch the elephant care center together..."

Tourists are walking outside, they need to take a detour and come slowly.

There are railings outside the elephant care center. The transparent railings are convenient for visitors to visit, and the roof provides shade and looks very impressive.

After a while, seeing the tourists almost coming, Fang Ye clapped his hands and greeted the breeder's hole: "Okay, let's get started!"

There are some thin slashes between the two thick vertical railings to prevent elephants from sticking out their trunks, and a rectangular opening is left in the middle with a height of about 50m.

Xiao Kong held a slender goal stick, pointed at his flat left foot, and pointed at the railing again!

Upon seeing the situation, he stretched out his nose first, making a small mistake, and consciously retracted the nose and put his left foot on it.
