Red Mountain Zoo Serval Cat "Lady Girl" for love weight loss record

author:Bright Net

In the Hongshan Forest Zoo, there are two serval cats, lightning and you. Lightning is a slender and tall "handsome guy", while the chick is greedy and eats into a "fat girl". In order to help the girl regain her health and win "love", a few days ago, the Red Mountain Zoo has created a series of weight loss programs tailored for it.

Serval cat is a feline from Africa, compared with the average cat, they are slender, long legs and short tail, high and round ears, look particularly noble and temperamental, quite a bit of cat "supermodel" style. In the "Cat Planet" of the Red Mountain Forest Zoo, there are two serval cats, "Little Guy" Lightning, and "Big Girl" Girls.

"We originally hoped that they could love each other and reproduce as soon as possible, but the girl fell into a 'body crisis' because of her greed, which was not only not conducive to health, but also led to her failure to 'get rid of the single'." Zoo staff said.

The reporter saw that the size of the lightning was very standard, the body lines were smooth, and it ran as strong as the wind. However, for the little friends who get along day and night, and the only heterosexual chick around, lightning seems to be a little cold, and Zhou's body emits a signal of "don't love me, no results".

Why? Just look at the girl and the mystery will be solved. Only to see that its original delicate little face was round, its body was bloated, its belly was poopy, and its original slender neck was almost gone, which was in stark contrast to lightning.

"Like humans, being overweight not only affects aesthetics, but also affects the health of animals." Veterinarians at the Red Mountain Zoo told reporters. Giving her weight has become a major task for breeders.

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 immediately adjusted these "fitness equipment", slowing down the overly steep perch and thickening the overly narrow horizontal wood to facilitate the climbing of the chicks. The keeper will also "hide" the food in front of the house and behind the house to increase its exercise. At the same time, under the premise of not affecting health, reduce the amount of food for girls.

Then, a whole year passed, and the girl only lost eight or two! After observing, the keeper found that the original girl had been secretly "playing wild food" to add food. "Wild serval cats mainly inhabit the savannah and generally feed on rodents, birds, fish, frogs and locusts at dusk. Due to the good ecology of our zoo, there are many wild animals living here, including many serval cats that love to eat, which has become a delicacy under the mouth of the chick. The staff told reporters.

However, since moving into the "Cat Planet", the breeders have not observed the predatory behavior in the new home, and are also updating the weight loss plan according to the new situation. The weight loss plan of the girl is still a long way to go.
