Recently, the person in charge of the Fairy Tale Animal Kingdom of Changlu Tourism Expo Park said: "The Penguin Pavilion, which has been built in Changlu Tourism Expo Park for more than three years, is about to welcome the Hongshi Ring Penguin and are expected to meet tourists during the National Day holiday!" It is understood that the Changlu Fairy Tale Animal Kingdom will become the first theme park in Foshan with Penguin .
data shows that the Hong's ring penguin is a medium-sized penguin, and the adult bird can have a length of up to 65-70 cm. Compared with penguins that we are familiar with living in Antarctica, Hong's ring penguins prefer to live in warmer areas, distributed on the west coast of South America in Chile and Peru, and their feathers become particularly short in order to adapt to the warm climate. Due to the artificial destruction of the global greenhouse climate and living environment, Hong's ring penguins have been included in the " Red List of Endangered Species of the World Union for Conservation of Nature" and the Appendix I, Appendix II and Appendix III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora".
Although Hong's ring penguins are a warm-loving animal, Guangdong belongs to a subtropical climate region and has a high temperature, so the design and construction of penguin museums should be very particular! According to reports, Changlu Zoo has successfully introduced a batch of Hong's ring penguins many years ago, but they have never been able to actually go home. In order to allow penguins to have a natural environment like the west coast of South America in Foshan, the Changlu Planning and Design Team strives for excellence in the design and construction of the Penguin Pavilion with the spirit of craftsmanship. After more than three years of continuous upgrades in the design of the Penguin Pavilion and repeated trials on hardware supporting facilities, it finally has a relatively satisfactory work. This luxurious residence that penguins dream of makes netizens sigh: "Even penguins are not as good as penguins. I didn't expect that the living environment of animals can be so good!"
How luxurious is the environment of this penguin home? The Changlu Planning and Design Team reproduced the natural ecological environment of the west coast of South America in Chile and Peru in the Penguin Pavilion, just like the ends of the west coast, with a leeward side facing the sea and backing the mountains. It is the place where penguins yearn for the most. In front of the Penguin House is an oversized artificial bay. As we all know, penguins have degenerated into thick fins after thousands of years of water life. Although they cannot fly, they can swim to 60km per hour, which is equivalent to a horse running at full speed. The super large artificial bay is to allow the Hong Ring Penguins to have enough space to perform their swimming posture.
At the same time, in order to make the bay closer to the state of a natural bay, the Changlu planning and design team also cleverly designed the "haikou" for the pool. The water flow from "haikou" to the "guard" can also simulate the natural state of the waves hitting the shore. It can not only allow penguins to enjoy the pleasure of surfing, but also allow penguins to feel the comfort of the ebb and flow of sea tides while basking on the sun on the shore. This is undoubtedly the most ultimate coastal life experience for penguins. Penguin House is located on a towering cliff not far from the pool. Since the Hong Family Ring penguins are flocking birds, the Changlu Planning and Design Team designed tree caves, caves and rock cracks of various shapes and sizes on the cliff, forming a "multi-bedroom and one living room" architectural structure, and it also has the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer.
Penguins not only have public play and living rooms, but also have their own independent spaces. Even if penguins "get a family and set up a room", they don't have to worry about not having a "wedding room"! In order to make Penguin Home reach the best natural state, the Changlu Planning and Design Team has put a lot of effort into creating the sound, light and warmth of each "room". First, install speakers to imitate the sound of natural waves. The sound size is amplified or reduced with the natural law, allowing penguins to feel the sense of stability brought by the bay all the time, and can listen to the sound of ocean waves and fall asleep and wake up peacefully. The second is to install adjustable lights to simulate the day and night changes of natural light on the west coast of South America, and maintain the original life pattern of penguins. Finally, the "central air conditioner" is used to adjust the indoor temperature according to the temperature and climate of the west coast of South America, so that the indoors always maintain the most comfortable feeling of penguins.
In addition, since Hong's ring penguins have a hair fading period every year, except for the feathers on their heads, the feathers on their bodies will fall off within a day and take several weeks to grow new feathers.During this period, the Hong's ring penguins in the hair fading stage will stay away from their companions until their feathers grow out. The luxurious "villa" with "multi-bedroom and one living room" also facilitates the Hong's ring penguins in the hair loss period to "hide" themselves to protect themselves.
In addition to the environmental supporting facilities that make netizens envious, Penguin Home is also very impressive in its artificial bay water purification system! In order to ensure that the water in the museum is suitable for the survival of penguins, the Changlu Dynamic Management Department has adopted two methods of physical and ecological water purification to ensure that the water in the museum is always in a virtuous cycle.
Changlu Tourism Xiubao Park Fairy Tale Animal Kingdom introduced: "The water ecosystems in zoo lakes generally face the problem of water quality control! The pool of Penguin Home will have feces discharged by penguins and various food debris brought in, resulting in the water quality deterioration after the water system is eutrophied, resulting in the odor of NH3, H2S and other odors and the crazy growth of various harmful colonies. To this end, we first embedded an independent water filtering water purification system for the "gulf" of Penguin Home. In addition to filtering various impurities such as feces and food in the water, we can also regularly disinfect the water to remove various harmful bacteria. This not only does this do not only It can keep the water clean and clear, which is conducive to tourists' viewing, and can make the penguin's living environment safer. In addition, Penguin Home also has a natural ecological purification system. The food of Hong's ring penguins is mainly fish and krill. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium eutrophication caused by feces and food debris in the water can be eutrophied. The problem of water eutrophication by free-range krill can be greatly improved. At the same time, the stocking of krill can also allow Hong's ring penguins to retain a certain natural "hunting" survival skills, the best of both worlds."
Because Hong's ring penguins are very honest and generous, they are very close to people. Unlike other penguin exhibition halls, visitors can watch the penguins at the Long Deer Penguin House at close distance and interact with the penguins intimately. However, I still want to remind everyone that for the health of the penguins, don’t feed food randomly.
It is understood that there are hundreds of thousands of animals living in the fairy tale animal kingdom of Changlu. In addition to the Hong's Ring Penguin, who is planning to meet tourists before National Day, Changlu Tourism Expo Park is also actively promoting the introduction of gorilla . However, due to the uncontrollable factors of the epidemic, gorillas will postpone meeting with tourists some time. The animal species in Changlu Fairy Tale Animal Kingdom is so rich and the number of animals is so amazing. Visitors can gain more popular animal knowledge through Changlu Fairy Tale Animal Kingdom, enhance tourists' awareness of the natural environment and animal protection, cultivate tourists' love, stimulate children's interest in nature education, and promote the importance of harmonious coexistence between people, animals and nature! There is only one earth, let us protect it together!
