This year's National Day
Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo
Unveiled in a mysterious area -
"Feline Planet"!
It is directly opposite the Chinese Cat Museum, and a closer look will reveal that there is a similarity between this place and the Chinese Cat Museum. The same felines here are inhabited by felines, except that the cat planet is inhabited by felines distributed around the world.
The eight outer cages of the cat planet are enclosed in a circle, forming a circular tour area, and a series of environmental abundances such as plants, perches, and pools in the stadium are closer to the wild environment, allowing the animals to show their natural behavior...
There's been big news lately
The star of the feline planet
Sǒu cat chick loses weight for a year
The keepers who care for it go to great lengths to chop up its calories
Anxious to the point that I lost weight
It was only 8 times thinner
Here's why
……
There are actually two serval cats on a feline planet
Lightning and chicks
lightning
Girl
Originally from Africa, the serval cat is more slender than other cats, with long legs and short tails, tall and rounded ears, and a close base of both ears, resembling a small cheetah.
Lightning is a handsome guy with a very good body management
But she is a foodie who does not shy away from her mouth
When I first arrived at the zoo, I weighed a lot of weight
Many people think that animals need to be fat to be cute. In fact, being overweight can have a certain impact on the health of animals.
Take the female orangutan law of the Red Mountain Zoo, the little law of the red mountain when she first arrived in the red mountain was delayed in conceiving a baby due to overweight, and later successfully lost 30 pounds through scientific methods under the efforts of the keeper, and soon became pregnant, and gave birth to a healthy baby with her husband Xiao Hei.
Because the girl was too fat, Lightning did not call it, and the two went their separate ways, anxious to spoil the breeder.
In order to help her regain her health and win love, the Red Mountain Forest Zoo has created a series of weight loss programs tailored for her.
Losing weight is nothing more than keeping your mouth shut and opening your legs
Fat chicks are not flexible enough, and many of the perches on the playground cannot be used. The keeper adjusted the fitness equipment, slowing down the overly steep perch and thickening the overly narrow horizontal wood to make it easier for the chicks to climb.
The keeper will also "hide" the food in front of the house to increase its exercise, and at the same time, according to the veterinarian's advice, reduce the amount of food for the girl without affecting her health.
In this way, the breeders did not relax for a day, constantly thinking of new methods, and continued to promote the weight loss of the girls, until the breeders became thinner...
However, a whole year has passed, and the girl has only lost 8 pairs! The keepers were puzzled until they were closely monitored and found that the girls had been secretly "beating the wild" and adding meals!
Wild serval cats inhabit the savannah and sometimes in the mountains. It generally feeds on large insects such as rodents, birds, fish, frogs and locusts at dusk. Because the zoo has a good ecological environment, there are many wild small animals living here, there is no shortage of serval cats love to eat rats, frogs and many insects, although the action is not as flexible as lightning, but the hunting instinct is still engraved in the DNA. Because the chicks are very active in predation, they are sometimes not even very interested in the food provided by the keepers.
However, since the chicks moved into the feline planet, the keepers have not observed the predatory behavior in the new home, and the breeders are also customizing new weight loss programs according to the new situation.
The big weight loss plan for the girl
There is still a long way to go
