Chapter 473: What I Saw at Bear Ridge
Unlike other zoos in Longguo, Xihong Zoo has now embarked on a completely different development path.
Especially after the cages in different parks were demolished one after another.
Animals are no longer in cages, but in regions. For example, if you want to see bears, you have to go to Bear Ridge.
If you want to see birds, you can go to Birdsong Forest.
And this undoubtedly brings tourists a better viewing experience.
So when a new place name like Dragon Turtle Valley appeared, tourists were also curious about what animals lived in it.
"Do I need to think about it? Dragon Turtle Valley, Dragon Turtle Valley, there must be dragon turtles in it."
"Where did the dragon turtle come from? What are you thinking, kid? I'm still the Overlord."
"I think the animals in it should be chameleons and turtles. After all, the only animal with the word dragon in it is chameleons."
"I don't agree with it."
"I don't agree with it either."
"In short, there are probably reptiles such as crocodiles, lizards, and snakes. I guess Director Yang is worried that no one will dare to go to the Snake Valley, so he changed it to the word dragon."
"Reptiles, then I won't go. I've been afraid of them since I was a child."
"That's right, there are a lot of animals to see in Xihong Zoo, why do you want to go and see those things."
"I agreed not to go. If there are too many people when I go tomorrow, I will come back and scold you."
.....
Just when tourists were talking about this new sky-high area, the May Day holiday arrived as scheduled.
As Yang Lin expected, the number of visitors to the zoo reached a peak early in the morning.
If the zoo gate area had not been expanded and more than a dozen ticket machines had not been added, the entry process alone would have wasted a lot of time for the visitors.
After the visitors checked their tickets, the originally bustling crowd of tourists broke up and went to the areas they had prepared in advance.
Sang Xiaoxia was one of the tens of thousands of tourists.
As a pet blogger with more than 1 million fans on Douyin, she came to Xihong Zoo this time not only to visit reptiles, but also to shoulder a challenge from fans.
"I finally got a ticket for the May Day holiday at Xihong Zoo. If I don't see the big snake you mentioned in Bear Ridge, you will be responsible."
"Also, please don't ask me to do such boring challenges as pretending to be Ultraman to pick up my cousin at the gate of the elementary school next time."
While holding up her phone, Sang Xiaoxia took out a palm-sized scale from her backpack.
This scale was mailed to her by a fan not long ago. It is said that the fan accidentally picked it up while wandering in Bear Ridge.
According to the fan, this is a scale from a large snake.
But Sang Xiaoxia didn't think it was a scale, because there is no scale that can't be drilled by an electric drill.
It is probably some kind of alloy craft.
While playing with the scale in her hand, Sang Xiaoxia boarded the Xihong Zoo's ring train.
Before coming, she actually wanted to ride a wild boar, but there were too many tourists who wanted to ride wild boars. There were hundreds of people in front of her.
After the old-fashioned train with white steam had been running in the park that looked like a fairy tale world for more than ten minutes, a large stone with the three characters "Gouxiongling" engraved on it appeared in front of her.
As a former animal sanatorium, Gouxiongling was officially opened to tourists two months ago after the psychological problems of the black bears were cured.
Many tourists who have a strong interest in bears chose to get off at this station, and Sang Xiaoxia was no exception.
Passing through the entrance of Gouxiongling, a vast forest appeared in front of her.
As soon as she entered it, a little bear cub, only knee-high, fell from a tree in front of her.
Before she could help the little bear cub up, a mother bear stood up and walked over from the other side aggressively.
The next second, in front of Sang Xiaoxia's surprised eyes, the mother bear held the little bear cub's neck with one hand and hit the cub's butt with the other hand.
After beating the bear, the mother bear pulled another bear cub down from the tree where the bear fell just now, just like a magic trick.
Looking at the two bear cubs, one deep and one shallow, and their mother in front of her, Sang Xiaoxia, who came to Xihong Zoo for the first time, was dumbfounded.
"It's exactly the same as what was said on the Internet. The animals in Xihong Zoo have become spirits."
As soon as she finished her words of exclamation, a tourist who came in with her excitedly raised his camera and said.
"Today's luck is too good. I met the family of Big Bear and Little Bear just after entering Gouxiongling."
"Big Bear and Little Bear?"
Sang Xiaoxia didn't expect that the two little bears just now actually had their own names.
"It seems that the young lady rarely reads the news about Xihong Zoo. They are the little stars of Gouxiongling."
The man holding a camera on the side took pictures and explained with a smile:
"A few months ago, their mother Cuihua was rescued from the animal processing factory by Director Yang. Within two months of coming here, she gave birth to a pair of twins."
"But then again, Director Yang's naming skills are second to none. It's ok to call the mother Cuihua, but the two bear cubs are actually named Xiong Da and Xiong Er."
The man shook his head.
After hearing what he said, Sang Xiaoxia nodded in agreement.
She had heard that Yang Lin was a genius at naming.
But he is the director, so he can call them whatever he wants.
Just as Sang Xiaoxia watched the bear mother Li Cuihua holding the two bear cubs, one deep and one shallow, leaving the sight of the tourists, the enthusiastic tourist brother put away the camera in his hand.
The next second, he shouted at a bald boy who was breaking branches not far away:
"Xiao Qiang, what are you doing over there?"
"Didn't we say not to break branches casually? If you keep being naughty, we'll go back now."
"You feel itchy, right? I'll beat you up!"
.....
Looking at the enthusiastic big brother who was spanking the little bald boy, Sang Xiaoxia seemed to understand where the mother bear learned the method of educating her children just now.
However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If you break branches at a young age, you will have to cut trees when you grow up.
Thinking of the purpose of coming to Gou Xiong Ling this time, Sang Xiaoxia didn't stay here for long. Looking at the direction of Longgui Valley indicated by the new road sign on the side, she walked in.
As she walked, the number of tourists began to decrease, and the frequency of bears and various wild animals gradually increased.
Squirrels, marmots, monkeys, hares, owls...
While watching these cute little animals appear from time to time, Sang Xiaoxia walked for nearly half an hour without realizing it.
Soon, a valley filled with clouds and mist appeared in front of her.
