What s it like to get up close and personal with wildlife?

As an animal protection and science and education worker, I have more contact with animals than people. When it comes to feelings, I think it's much simpler to get along with animals than with people. When we can get close to some national treasure-level animals, our hearts are very satisfied, because our work makes them known to humans and gives them more space to live.

The information that animals give back to people is also direct and simple, and you can only better contact them and communicate with them deeply if you understand the body language and emotions of animals.

I wanted to get close to the lions and listen to their roars, but the lion in the evening doesn't seem to be interested in humans at all, and even if we are very close to the lion, it has no intention of escaping from prison. Unfortunately, the lion didn't roar that day, and we didn't hear it. In fact, in the wooden house where we lived, we could hear the roar of lions every morning and afternoon, and although the residence was quite far away from the lion area, it sounded like a lion was right on the doorstep, which was very realistic.

Waking up to the roar of a lion every day is also magical.

I went to the safari park to see the lions, and as soon as I saw our car coming, the lions hurriedly ran over to the railing, and kept digging the soil with their paws, as if they were about to rush out in the next second. The lion also needs a lot of food, and the volunteer in the carload with us, a small Sichuan girl, threw a steak through the railing for the first time. When the lions receive their food, they will trample their own food under their feet, and then watch us leave before hanging the meat far away and start to enjoy the food, even in the face of feeders, the lion will show 10,000 vigilance to prevent us from grabbing the food.

When I was in junior high school, I accidentally caught two hare cubs in the soybean field, and I wanted to raise them, milk powder, rice, and vegetable leaves, but I starved them to death, and I felt guilty and uneasy for a long time. Now my son is 6 years old, and when I encounter wild animals in the countryside, especially cubs, and I want to catch them and raise them at home, I tell him my story, and finally let my son release them.

I have seen African wild dogs, which are completely different from what we usually say, they are a special breed in Africa, and they are ruthless at first glance. In my opinion, it's a total jackal, and it has nothing to do with a puppy at all.

Follow the keeper into the leopard area, in fact, this is the first time to get in close contact with the leopard, everyone went in and repeatedly confirmed with the keeper whether it was really possible to go in, and the mood at that time was really excited and scared.

Be mentally prepared to be scratched and bitten by various animals, and get vaccinated against tetanus and rabies in advance.

Not intrusion is the best way to get along.

The relationship between humans and the natural world is much more complex than we think. Any wildlife, whether endangered or common, has a unique function and positioning in the ecosystem that cannot be replaced by other species. So what we can do is stay undisturbed – and that's the best way humans can get along with wild animals.

The fundamental thing to do without disturbance is to establish correct values. As human greed continues to expand and the ability to grab nature continues to increase, when what is demanded exceeds the output of nature, the ecological balance will be broken, and human beings will face the crisis of losing the security of survival.

About the importance of wildlife conservation

Wild animals are the friends of human beings, the precious wealth left by nature to human beings, an important part of the natural ecosystem, and an indispensable resource for human society. Wild animals have scientific, medicinal, economic, recreational, aesthetic and ecological values.

The protection, development and rational use of wildlife resources are of great significance for maintaining ecological balance, improving the natural environment, promoting harmony between man and nature, maintaining biodiversity, and promoting comprehensive, sustainable and coordinated economic and social development.

The struggle between humans and viruses or disease-causing bacteria never stops.

Plague is caused by a microorganism called Yersinia pestis and is hosted by other common rodents and wild carnivores in addition to mice. In addition to the animals themselves, Yersinia pestis is also transmitted by fleas parasitic on its body. The first recorded plague pandemic in human history occurred in the 6th century AD, originating in the Middle East, spreading to North Africa and Europe through Egypt, claiming nearly 100 million lives, when the total population of the world was only more than 200 million.

The second plague began in the middle of the 14th century, and in 300 years before and after, the European continent lost 1 3 to half of its population. The third plague pandemic began in the second half of the 19th century, with the earliest outbreak in Yunnan, China, and then in South China, North China, Northeast China, Europe, Asia and Africa.

People see a lot of cute animals that can't hold back their itchy hands and always want to touch and hug these cute furries. But in fact, these furries themselves are also wild, and there are also a lot of germs hidden deep in them, so if you want to get close to them, you must take safety precautions first. <>

For example, when we go to the zoo to make iron cars, tigers, lions and other beasts, we can't touch them directly, they are made of barbed wire on the iron car, and people feed the meat and food on the fork to the animals through the triangular holes in the barbed wire, which is not only close to the animals, but also relatively safe. In addition, there are many other animals, such as mini donkeys, bunnies and alpacas in the children's area, which are docile herbivores, and they are regularly cleaned and disinfected by staff to check their bodies, and there are also certain requirements for children to be close to each other, such as wearing gloves and gently petting, etc., which are also very safe. <>

When people go to visit animals, they should always remember not to feed and litter in the area where animals live, which will not only damage the environment, but also may attract the attention of animals to eat garbage and lead to diseases. Like the previous news, a woman fed a mask to animals, I think this is no longer a matter of politeness, this is very unqualified and immoral, and it is also a sign of disrespect for life. <>

If it is your own pet, such as cats and dogs, it doesn't matter, as long as the owner regularly takes the pet to the hospital for vaccination and deworming, our pets will not be contaminated with unclean bacteria, but if you go out to see other people's cute cats and dogs, it is best to ask the owner for permission before taking the next step, because some animals have different temperaments, in case of a sudden attack on you will lose more than you gain. And when touching, you should also be careful not to touch the sensitive parts of the animal, such as the abdomen, which is a very vulnerable place for most animals, unless someone close to you, otherwise other people will cause hostility to the animal, thinking that you are going to attack and attack you.

We can have close contact with animals, and when we touch, we should touch things with our hands, but we can't make them hurt, we can feed them, and try to keep a certain distance from animals. Under the guidance of the staff, do not come into contact with animals alone. Remember to wash your hands afterwards.

Yes, be careful not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands when touching animals, and wash your hands immediately after contact.

You can touch it, but after playing with animals, you must wash your hands in time to pay attention to safety, and be careful not to touch the sensitive parts of the animal, such as the abdomen, which is a very vulnerable place for most animals, and if others touch it, it will cause hostility to the animal, thinking that you are going to attack you and attack you.

Of course, you can have close contact, but when contacting, you must first determine whether the small animal has an inspection and quarantine certificate, whether the small animal is safe, whether there is an infectious disease, and secondly, try to avoid direct contact with the skin when contacting to prevent being scratched and bitten.

Yes, you should pay attention to the temper and habits of various animals, see if the animals are docile, keep a distance from animals you don't understand, and remember to wash your hands after contact.

Yes, because animals are very cute. Care should be taken not to feed the animals and not to frighten them. Because what people eat and animals eat can cause discomfort, and animals will develop aggressive behaviors when they are frightened.

We should try to come into contact with some relatively mild animals to avoid injury due to the animal's madness. In fact, most animals are very gentle. When touching, you should also pay attention to be gentle with the animal, so as not to be accidentally injured by the animal.

The most dangerous zoo in the world, you can get in close contact with animals, and you have to sign a "life and death certificate" when you enter

Don't get too close to the animals, don't throw food indiscriminately, and don't disturb the animals, otherwise it will be dangerous. Don't point the flash at their eyes.

Don't rush to contact wild animals at first, you should keep a certain distance first, you can wait for the animals to take the initiative to approach you, you can let them get familiar with your taste first. Once you've made sure the animals aren't hostile to you, try to reach out and touch them slowly.

Don't just give them something to eat, because you don't know what kind of action it will do in a second, so be careful.

Be sure to pay attention to hygiene when coming into close contact with wild animals, and it is best to have close contact with animals under the guidance of a keeper.

Keep your distance, even if you can get close, you still need to pay attention to hygiene. Do not let your child touch the animal. After touching, wipe your hands with wet wipes at all times. And don't get too close to your mouth.

Try not to provoke it, don't attack or drive it away or even beat it, wild animals have strong defensive skills, be careful of hurting yourself.

Keep a safe distance from the animals, do not feed them indiscriminately, and bring disinfectant wipes If you have physical contact with the animals, you can clean them as soon as possible.

When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and by chance, my dad brought back a pug from the county seat. I was only 11 years old at the time, and the arrival of this puppy added a lot of fun to my childhood. I rode my bike, and it followed me, running through the fields.

Although the name"Clumsy", but not stupid at all, very obedient. I played with the other playmates in the village, and it was right next to me. You must know that having a very obedient pet when you are young is a very stylish thing.

I remember one time, he got into a fight with my cat, and I went up to persuade him to fight, and when I pulled him, he bit me in turn. My dad was going to kill him. It was so frightened that it hid under the table and lay there motionless, and I cried and pleaded with my dad to save it.

The scar is still on my left hand, leaving a crooked crescent.

One day, it was late and dark, and I drove a truck full of building materials and went straight home, so I had to park my car in Nagoya Peace Park, because the next morning, I had to go to the current construction site in Hamamatsu (halfway between Nagoya and Tokyo), 200 kilometers away...But you have to walk through a wooded path to get home, there is a sound of knowledge in the grass on the side of the road, a little scary, suddenly through the snow bright headlights behind me, only to find a snake more than two meters long, is crossing the road, a thousand shots! Instinctively, I blocked the car with my body and let it slowly cross the road, and apparently the driver also spotted it, and was very sympathetic and tacitly cooperated with me...When I got home, my mind was always full of snakes that I had never seen in the wild, the size of a man's shoulder! The dark and shiny body wandered under the light, and the god-like god sent me to save it...A week later, in China, my son happily told me that he was admitted to Nanjing University with the first place in the total number of Nanjing No. 9 Middle School...Everything is arranged by God.

When I went to play in Australia, I saw a koala. This is an animal that everyone is familiar with. Victoria's Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most exciting roads.

It winds its way along Victoria's southwest coast, passing cliffs, forests, bends and seaside towns. There are also flocks of grey koalas along the way, hiding in the tops of tall trees. They are well camouflaged and may be difficult for you to spot at a glance.

Suddenly, one day, it disappeared. At first I thought it was going to play on its own. Later, it was found in a haystack next to my neighbor's house.

But it lost its spirit. I took it home. The next day, I couldn't find it again.

It wasn't until two days later that it was found in a corner of the village, but it was dead. I cried all day, and my mom looked at me sad and blamed herself, saying that she shouldn't have let it eat chicken bones. The day I brought it home, I kept spitting bone residue in my mouth.

Later I buried it in my garden. It was the first time in my life that I had a dog. I also left a good memory for myself!

When I was four years old, I felt for the first time that animals are also spiritual, because there is indeed a touching story in the sheep in my old family. I don't remember much at that time, but I remember that on a whim, I grabbed a handful of corn kernels to feed the sheep, and I was probably not able to walk, so I fell down before I could get to them, and the corn kernels spilled on the ground, and at this time, a group of lambs ran over, and in a short time they ate up all the corn on the ground.
