Behind the exhibition area is the animal house. Later, it is an artificial built lion tiger mountain. Zhou Jisheng first came to the lion's tiger's house with a reporter. "After a night's sleep, the children came to think of it." From the animal house to the exhibition area, there is a thick rolling door. Not yet to the doorway of the animal house, Zhou Jisheng's footsteps have been excited by the lions.

9:40, the lion tiger's meal arrived. Zhou Jisheng and his colleagues were busy moving a bag of fresh beef into the ingredients. The first procedure is to rinse the beef with clear water, rinse the surface of the meat, then cut the large piece of beef into strips. "The lion tiger saw red meat and chewed it down. It swallowed its stomach. If it cut into chunks, it would choke easily and it would not digest easily." Zhou Jisheng said that after the winter, the supply of beef and mutton of the lion tigers increased. Now 6 adult lion tigers and 4 young lion tigers eat 120 to 140 kilograms of beef every day. Speaking of the matching diet of lion tigers, Zhou Jisheng said that wild animals like to eat beef most, but the keepers will adjust their diet in time according to the seasons. "For example, half a month ago, lion tigers were still eating mutton, because they had to eat more calorie meat before entering winter. In addition, the keepers are also given a certain number of raw eggs to the lion tigers every day. Every afternoon, they have to deliver a live chicken or a "white strip" to "snack" to the lions.
you can't take care of a pregnant tiger for a year, and this "Dad" is really not good when
with the lions for a good meal, Zhou Jisheng's work in the morning is over half, but he has come to the lion mountain to see 4 little Bengal tigers playing and playing. Speaking of his feelings with these 4 tigers, Zhou Jisheng could not help smiling. I was so happy when I knew that the "tiger" was pregnant. At that time, we decided that we must let the tigers work smoothly. Zhou Jisheng said he had not taken a class for a whole year in order to take care of the mother tiger. He was on guard for 24 hours a month before and after the production of "Lara". Every half an hour, he was close to the animal house and looked carefully at the big - tempered tiger. Speaking of his job, Zhou Jisheng said it was "dangerous, tired and happy". "Our keepers are dealing with the beasts, which can be said to be on the dangerous front line, and a careless lesson may lead to blood." But the danger is not afraid of him, "but everyday with the beast, a little acquainted with them, and the lion tigers are sometimes very gentle to you, and they feel happy. In fact, we take care of the lion tigers not only to ensure their safety, but also to provide security for tourists, which gives me a sense of accomplishment.
