Chapter 387
Chapter 387 All free-range
With the launch of the blood orchid, the popularity of Xihong Zoo has been raised to a higher level.
The most direct benefit to Yang Lin is that the city finally allocated funds to him.
Although it was a special fund for the construction of the nature reserve, it made no difference to Yang Lin.
As soon as the funds arrived, he immediately invested them in the construction of all facilities in the reserve.
In less than a week, some infrastructure such as walls were completed.
On the day when the Xihong Nature Reserve was listed, a large truck from southern Yunnan stopped outside the nature reserve.
"Director Yang, the first batch of 500 animals that Director Song asked us to escort are all here. Please check them."
Outside the new gate of Xihong Zoo, a person in charge from the Southern Yunnan Zoo handed over a list and breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time he was responsible for this kind of inter-provincial animal transportation work. He was afraid that something would go wrong on the way. Now that he finally arrived at Xihong Zoo, he was finally relieved.
"Thank you for your hard work. If the number is not a problem, just send them in directly."
Yang Lin just glanced at the list and smiled indifferently.
"Okay, but there are a lot of animals this time. Would your zoo like to arrange more people to come and pick them up?"
After taking a look at the scene and confirming that only Yang Lin was there, the person in charge from the Southern Yunnan Zoo said uncertainly.
"No, you just need to be responsible for sending them in, and leave the rest to me."
Seeing Yang Lin's firm attitude, the person in charge had to let the driver drive the vehicles full of various wild animals into the Xihong Zoo.
As soon as they entered the park, a large open area came into view.
Some of the old buildings and walls have been demolished, leaving only a visitor center and some viewing areas.
In the green area on the side, various birds and small wild animals can be seen everywhere. It is a free-range area and a leisure forest area.
Going further in is the previous Xihong Zoo.
When all the trucks loaded with wild animals drove into this area, they immediately attracted the attention of the tourists in the park.
"There are so many animals. Where did Director Yang go to get the goods?"
"Why are there two giraffes sticking their necks out of the roof of the car? Aren't they afraid of hitting the road signs?"
"There is also a full truck of peacocks. Did they rob the peacock farm?"
"Ostriches, and several ostriches."
"Oh, there are also kangaroos. Now Gangzi has company."
"Looking at the license plate, it should be from southern Yunnan. It can't be a gift from the southern Yunnan Zoo to Director Yang."
.....
Before everyone guessed the result, the large trucks loaded with animals opened their doors one after another.
They thought that these animals would be sent to the official park, but they soon found that they were wrong.
The next second, in the surprised eyes of the tourists, the animals on the car got off the car in an orderly manner.
Giraffes, Asian elephants, zebras, bison, and other large herbivores led the way.
Peacocks, ostriches, emus, raccoons, tapirs, and other relatively small animals ended up.
When all the animals got off the car, a huge queue suddenly appeared on the main road.
It was like a migrating team on the African savannah.
They seemed to have no discomfort or frenzy when they just arrived in the new environment. They were as normal as could be.
Faced with such a situation, not only the tourists present were somewhat surprised, but even the staff of the Yunnan Southern Zoo who followed them were also somewhat confused.
If Yang Lin had not insisted again and again, they would never choose to let these animals appear directly in front of tourists in such an environment.
Because ordinary animals, even those who grew up in the zoo, will be more or less uncomfortable when facing unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar people.
And after feeling uncomfortable, they will choose various ways to express it.
The most common one is to run wildly suddenly.
"What's going on? Why are they so cooperative today?"
"I don't know. They said they were not used to the local climate."
"Why do I feel like they are all very happy?"
"No way, they also know that Xihong Zoo is better off than our zoo?"
Under the gaze of several staff members of the Southern Yunnan Zoo, this group of animals that came across hundreds of kilometers seemed to have returned to their hometowns, and began to go to their new living area under the guidance of Yang Lin.
Except for some animals with weaker survival ability, most of the other animals were placed in the newly transformed forest area and wetland.
With the addition of these new animals, the originally slightly empty reserve suddenly had a little more vitality.
When all this was presented to the tourists, they also vaguely felt something.
"Did you notice that Director Yang didn't seem to want to put these animals in cages."
"Yes, they were all placed in the free-range area."
"So the future development trend of Xihong Zoo is to put all animals outside."
"That shouldn't be the case. Herbivores are acceptable, but can carnivores be put outside?"
"Why not? I heard that the new park that Xihong Zoo is building will not have any closed parks, and all will be open."
"I remember Director Yang said a long time ago that the iron cages in Xihong Zoo are not for protecting humans, but for protecting animals."
"If everyone respects animals, these iron cages really don't need to exist."
"I just saw a video of a naughty child He climbed over the wall into the peacock garden and beat a peacock, almost killing it. "
"If I met such a naughty kid in Xihong Zoo, I would encourage him to do the same in the tiger garden."
"I hope I don't meet such a person, otherwise I will encourage my son to beat him up with my temper. Anyway, my son is just under 12 years old this year, but he is already 1.8 meters tall."
"That noble boy has grown up very well."
......
In fact, it is indeed as the tourists guessed. Yang Lin is gradually adapting the animals in the park from semi-open to fully open.
According to the current progress of the project, the two parks next to it will be renovated in the second half of the year, and Xihong Zoo will completely bid farewell to the iron cage era.
This is also the reason why he did not send this batch of new animals into iron cages.
At the same time as the first batch of animals from the Yunnan South Zoo was delivered, the little white tiger on the way back home finally entered the Qinghai-Tibet region.
