Yesterday, on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the animals of Ningbo Youngor Wildlife Park had already passed the Dragon Boat Festival – they ate "fragrant" rice dumplings.
What kind of stuffing will the rice dumplings specially prepared for animals be? What about the feedback from the animals after they "tasted"?
The rice dumplings prepared for the little raccoons are relatively simple ingredients, such as the nutritious nests and diced apples they usually eat.
Many tourists after seeing the staff to the little raccoon wrapped rice dumplings, in addition to eager to try also want to go to the dumplings, but also special concern - the rice dumplings are tied tightly, will the little raccoon peel the rice dumplings?
"Yes! They're smarter than you think. The staff of Ningbo Youngor Wildlife Park said.
Indeed, after getting the rice dumplings, the little raccoon held it with his mouth and used his two hands to tear the rice dumpling leaves and cotton rope. Although the action is a little "coarse", the method is correct.
However, the little raccoon's "school bully" personality has not yet stood firm, and it has been robbed of all the attention by its "foodie" persona -
Zongzi is hung on a branch and handed to the little raccoon, but some small tourists may still be a little afraid to pass the zongzi close. This can make the little raccoon anxious: just stand up, lean out, and stretch out two hands to grab. The angle of the body leaning forward makes people can't help but exclaim: the waist has worked hard!
"Bears more rice dumplings less", many small raccoons who did not get rice dumplings at the first time did not care about the demeanor and politeness of "friendship first", turned their heads and went to grab the rice dumplings in the hands of their companions, held them in their mouths, and turned around and hid in the bushes that were not easy to be found to "eat alone".
Compared with the baby raccoon, the ring-tailed lemur is also "delicious", but it is very picky about the ingredients.
Diced cucumbers, diced apples, sliced dates, raisins... Knowing that ring-tailed lemurs love sweets, the staff of Ningbo Youngor Wildlife Park specially prepared sweet rice dumplings for them.
However, surprisingly, when the wrapped rice dumplings were handed to the ring-tailed lemur, or even "hard-stuffed" into its hands, the ring-tailed lemurs who had been staring at the staff wrapping the rice dumplings ignored it.
Seeing that the staff had not been able to guess their own thoughts, the ring-tailed lemur was anxious, jumped directly on the table, and went straight to the bowl where the filling was placed. It turned out that it was too troublesome to peel rice dumplings in "disgust".
"Probably because the rice dumpling leaves are green, and they especially like red things." The staff said.
So, the staff thought of a way to insert a few pieces of red dates in the gap on the rice dumpling leaves. Sure enough, the ring-tailed lemur ate the red jujube slices at the same time, but also tore open the rice dumpling leaves, only to find that the inside is their favorite food.
According to reports, this Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to small raccoons and ring-tailed lemurs, Ningbo Youngor Wildlife Park has 18 kinds of animals will have the opportunity to eat rice dumplings packed by staff and tourists.
