photo of the double horns white rhinoceros snow leopard set up by Zhao Tianyi on from October 13th to 19th, the event of the endangered species protection week was launched in the wild animal world of Ji'nan. You know, a lot of the animals we have been in the zoo, like giraffe, small pandas, black bears, hippopotamus, and so on. Some of them are on the verge of extinction, and some species and numbers are decreasing at an amazing speed. The reporters learned that the giant pandas in Ji'nan zoo, the white cheek gibbons, the white rhinoceros of the Ji'nan wildlife park, the Asian elephant, and the snow leopard in the marathon wild zoo have entered an appendix to the Convention on the international trade in endangered species of wild animals and plants.

.Gt; "super heavyweight" white rhinoceros per head of millions of
South African Dijiao white rhinoceros, is the second largest animal of the terrestrial vertebrates, with only about 22000 in the world. There are 6 animals in the Ji'nan wildlife park.
according to the introduction, white rhinoceros is one of the most cattle animals in the park. One of the world's wildlife staff said that white rhinoceros most love fruit and carrots, one meal can eat more than 100 Jin of feed, if it is fresh grass, can eat two hundred or three hundred jin.
it is understood that white rhinoceros in the country is only about 20, a value of millions. "Now, the number of white rhinos in the world is decreasing, mainly due to the prevalence of poaching and the loss of natural habitats. Besides, the reason why they are so expensive is also related to their almost zero breeding rate. Staff members told reporters that little known is that white rhinoceros are naturally short-sighted, but smell is very developed.
.Gt; white cheek Gibbons often falsely report fire alarm
if you hear a fire alarm at the Ji'nan zoo in the morning, don't panic, that may be the white cheek gibbon is practicing his voice. Guo Aixia, a senior engineer at the zoo, said that this ape was born with a habit of morning singing. Its voice is like a fire engine alarm, which can travel a few miles away. I don't know where it's on fire.
according to the staff of the scenic area, to distinguish the sex of the gibbon usually wait until it is more than four years old or even longer. Identifying the sex of the cheek gibbon mainly depends on whether their hair is yellow or black, yellow is female, and black is male. The hair color of the newly born cheek gibbon is the same gray and yellow as his mother. When he was more than 1 years old, it began to become as black as his father. At this time, it could not determine its female and male. In the course of more than 4 years of growth, the color of its hair was changed from 3 to 4 times. When it reaches more than 4 years old, it can finally determine its gender. If it is a male, it will remain black and bright; if it is a female, the color will gradually turn from black to greyish yellow.
.Gt; snow leopard will miss one or two days a year to miss
in September 1st this year, the little snow leopard that had just passed the hundred days of the marathon Wildlife Park made its debut. Since 1995, this is the first snow leopard to successfully reproduce the zoo in low altitude areas in China.
snow leopard is known as the "king of snow mountain". Its distribution in China is even less than that of giant pandas. The zoo keeper told reporters that the breeding conditions of snow leopard are very strict compared with that of tiger. First, the snow leopard can only produce one fetus per year, one child per child, while the tiger can produce two births and one fetus to four. Secondly, the "critical" period of snow leopard mating is one or two days per year. If these two days can't succeed as a wish, you will have to wait another year.
apart from these individual differences, it is also one of the reasons why snow leopards are not easy to breed. "For the snow leopard we are the blood books." The person in charge of the wild animal world in running Ma Ling introduced that the zoo was feeding some fresh beef and mutton, but the keeper found that the snow leopard liked to eat the fresh blood of the animal, so it added the "live food" to the snow leopard.
