Chapter 34: A dojo in a snail shell
Of course, hard dishes can't be too late, otherwise they will be full, and who has the heart to taste the excitement of your dish.
It was based on this consideration that Fang Ye placed the Tiger Pavilion in the middle of the circular tour route.
Where is the Red Panda Pavilion?
Can't put it in the entrance, it's too cute, tourists have to look at it for a long time, and they don't want to continue to go down.
If you put it too far, it's too appetizing. There must be the kind of red panda that likes red pandas so much that any other animal has to look at it without looking at it, and as soon as it comes up and goes straight to the past, it will miss a lot of content.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Ye decided to place the Red Panda Pavilion on the outside side after the first pavilion in the park.
What will be exhibited in the first pavilion has not yet been determined, and the red panda is not suitable anyway.
Then there is the specific design of the Red Panda Pavilion.
The winding walkway outside the pavilion can be planted with reddish-purple rhododendrons and blue periwinkles, and a stream is around the walkway to create a habitat atmosphere.
The exterior wall is made of natural bamboo, which is very much in line with the theme of the Red Panda Pavilion and can also make visitors more immersed.
On the visiting surface, the glass curtain wall is bent into three sides at a small angle, providing visitors with different viewing angles.
The canopy protects visitors from the sun and rain while reducing reflections from the glass façade.
Although the exhibition area is small, it does not mean that it is simple, the so-called snail lion shell is a dojo, and a small venue can also do a lot of design to make it rich and exciting.
Red pandas usually inhabit large tree holes or stone caves and rock crevices, so design a stone cave for it first.
It is slightly raised in the middle, creating a very gentle mound about 40 centimeters above the ground.
Gather a few large blue-gray rocks and build them on top of the mound. Several large stones like potatoes are half-buried, the middle is empty, and the eggplant is flat and long, and the top is covered, and a smaller stone is brought to cover the hole.
The gap left at the end is about the width of a red panda's head.
In this way, a bunker-like stone cave is ready.
Red pandas can burrow inside and watch what is happening outside.
It's like a machine gunner in a pillbox, scouting through a square firing hole.
However, the direction of the cave is facing the glass curtain wall, so ......
The height of the "bunker" is raised by the mound, and the distance between several meters allows visitors to see the cute appearance of the red panda snooping blankly - if it is inside, without squatting or lying down.
The purpose of the bunker is not only to allow the red panda to hide inside, but also to provide a place to hide.
The flat stone at the top also allows it to lie on top and laze in the sun.
One of the hobbies of red pandas is to bask in the sun on the cliffs or on the tops of big trees, so the local people in Sichuan call them "mountain stuffy Dun'er".
Trees are essential to show the natural behavior of red pandas!
Red pandas are good climbers, spending more than 50% of their time in trees, and can quickly climb tall trees and move from tree to tree to avoid enemies when in danger.
Because the main habitat of the red panda is 1500-4800 meters above sea level, there is a temperate forest with dense bamboo forest under the forest, and Fang Ye chose a ginkgo biloba and camphor tree, which have thicker branches.
Two more dead pine trees with cavities, the middle cavity is a great hiding place, and the trunk also serves as a component of the perch.
Add a little perch assistance to make the red panda more stable and safe when it goes up the tree.
After all, the trees in the pavilion cannot be as dense as in the wild, and the thick branches are linked to each other.
Therefore, a soft ladder composed of rope and wooden planks is installed between the two trees, and the wooden planks are slightly spaced and the soft rope sways to simulate the effect of shaking branches, so that red pandas can move between different trees.
Some people may wonder, why not plant bamboo?
Bamboo, as the staple food of red pandas, is a large piece in the wild, and you can't eat it all at will.
Planted in the exhibition hall, you can only catch a few sticks, and within a few days, the bamboo will die and become a disposable consumable.
The bamboos in the panda pavilion are all cut and brought in from the outside.
"Is there anything missing?"
Fang Ye thought for a moment, by the way, he should have some water!
The suitable temperature for red pandas is 10 to 25 degrees, and in southern cities like Linhai, the temperature is not too low in winter, but it is very hot in summer.
Make a small zigzag ditch around the mound, and even make a few atomizers to humidify and cool down at the same time, creating a foggy effect.
Under the sun and in the light mist, the red panda strolling leisurely on the trunk of the tree must also be a beautiful sight.
Perfect!
With the addition of tourist sheds and animal houses, the final area of the Red Panda Pavilion is 330 square meters, and the consumption of green leaf coins is 15,000.
Absolute value.
"Hahahaha!" Fang Yezhi was full of smugness and laughed wildly, "Little cuties, let's live happily here in the future!" ”
After admiring the construction of the Red Panda Pavilion with a beautiful interface, I continued the design of other pavilions.
Fang Ye planned to save some green leaf coins to build the Wolf Pavilion, so the rest of the pavilions were ready to be flexible.
Peacocks, for example, don't need an exhibition hall at all!
Although peacocks can fly, they are similar to chickens, and they are more like gliding than flying.
And generally nothing is fine, and they don't fly, they all walk on the ground, and only fly up to the treetops to hide when they encounter natural enemies.
So why put them in a cement iron cage, just enlarge the lawn, add a few bushes, and a wooden fence thirty or forty centimeters high around it to simply restrict it.
Peacocks can walk freely on the lawn, and visitors can also watch without hindrance, and both sides are happy.
The cost of implementation is also low!
1 square lawn only needs 1 green leaf coin, counting the fence, 300 flat supports 500 green leaf coins.
Again, although the blue peacock is beautiful, the breeding technology is very mature, and I am not afraid of any accidents.
If it was a green peacock that was a national first-class protected animal, Fang Ye really didn't dare to do so, at least he had to take relevant supporting protection measures.
What if any stupid tourist runs into the lawn and wants to pluck the peacock's tail feathers?
Alpacas don't need pavilions either!
Tourists want to be close to animals, touch animals, and feed animals, which are normal emotional needs.
However, which animals can be approached and how to get close requires reasonable arrangements and guidance from the zoo.
Domestic or semi-domesticated animals such as alpacas, sheep, pigs, rabbits, etc., which are docile and not aggressive, are the most suitable and can be used as a place to satisfy the desire of tourists to get close to each other.
There was originally a children's playground in the zoo, with slides, trampolines, seesaws or something, isn't it all the bells and whistles for you to get this in the zoo?
It has also been abandoned for a long time, and patches of rust have grown on the slide.
The area is well located, at the end of the loop, just right for the "little pasture".
The amusement equipment was dismantled and towed away, and some sandy land and grass were arranged.
In this way, the exhibition of alpacas can also be easily solved.
