I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 460 New Member Live Stream

One good thing followed another.

After the elephants were returned, the trial for the green peafowl case also took place.

The court issued a first-instance judgment on the "Yunnan Green Peafowl" public interest lawsuit, the defendant company must immediately stop the construction project of the Gaba River 1-cascade hydropower station based on the existing environmental impact assessment, refrain from diverting water or storing it, and must not cut down the vegetation within the submerged area of the hydropower station.

In the courtroom, upon hearing the verdict, the faces of the people from the hydropower station looked quite ugly, while Gu Shi and the others were extremely excited, even tears of relief overflowed from the corners of their eyes.

They had worked hard and traveled tirelessly for the green peafowl for so long, floating along the river, trekking through various regions to gather evidence; their efforts had not been in vain!

Fang Ye also received a system notification that two pairs of green peafowl would arrive in 3 days.

The following weekend, the zoo began its first rice planting activity.

The rice seeds had been soaked in a water tank before, and the soaked brownish-yellow grains had sprouted slender white shoots, looking a bit like soybeans.

The paddy field had been already finely raked over.

Children came over and put on rain boots, stepping into the muddy soil of the rice field, and "whoosh" scattered handfuls of rice seeds.

The only difficult part was to scatter the seeds more evenly.

After scattering the seeds, they used a large broom to gently pat the soil, lightly pressing the seeds into the mud.

The first step of the work was very simple and didn't take much time.

...

The green peafowl were brought in and temporarily settled in the tropical rainforest aviary, while the blue peafowl stayed on the outside Peafowl Lawn.

Fang Ye called over Lan Li and started live streaming.

The title of the live stream was changed to "Zoo Director Shows Everyone the New Members of the Zoo."

"First first!"

"Here it comes!" Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"The missing person has returned!"

"Looking at today's title, are we going to see the elephants?"

As the message of the streaming started, the live stream room quickly became very lively.

Fang Ye laughed and said, "Yeah, the elephants have been brought over, and they've mostly adapted to the new environment in these past few days. And it's not just the elephants! Our zoo has also taken in several green peafowl, I'll also take everyone to see them."

"Shocked, did I hear that right, green peafowl!"

"There's a green peafowl case, I don't know if you all have heard of it?"

Pingping still gazed outside, flapping her large ears!

Fang Ye extended his hand in the air, feeling a rumbling vibration coming through!

It was a bit like the roar of lions or tigers, similar to the sound of engines starting, but even more deep and resonant.

Towards the camera he said, "Did you hear that, the deep sound of the elephant?"

"Didn't hear it!"

"Didn't hear it +1, is the elephant making sounds right now?"

"It's real, I turned up the volume and I heard it!"

"Holy shit, it really is, so resonant! This is the true Emperor Engine!"

Fang Ye explained, "Many stories about elephants revolve around their strong group cohesion.

Take for instance, in the wild when encountering lions, elephants will gather together, encircle the calves in the middle, using their huge bodies to block the calves from the lions, keeping them hidden underneath, rendering the lions helpless, right.

To maintain such group cohesion, a good communication system is needed!

The communication among elephants is quite complex as their sounds are mainly infrasonic. Depending on the distance and the loudness of the elephant's call, you might not always be able to hear their rolling sounds, but by observing their body language, you can easily tell if the elephants are communicating.

An elephant receiving the sound will spread its ears wide, lift its trunk and head, and stay still, showing it's listening carefully, whereas the one making the sound will open its mouth and flap its ears.

Researchers in Africa have noticed that sometimes an entire elephant herd will suddenly become still, and then as if summoned by some force, they all head off in a new direction, with groups of elephants from different directions arriving at the same water hole within minutes. This might be the result of infrasonic communication."

"What a magical way to communicate!"

"Huh, the elephant is flapping its ears. What is it trying to say to the window?"

"Maybe it's asking if there are any companions nearby? Or maybe it wants to go out and play?"

Fang Ye called out again, "Pingping!"

Only then did Pingping turn her head and look over at him.

She stretched her trunk through the slanted bars, extending a part of it, swaying up and down like a human hand.

Up close, one could see some fuzz on the tip of her nose; though rough and wrinkled on the outside with clear transverse lines, the inside of her nose was a tender pink.

"Wow, what a flexible trunk!"

"This is my first time seeing the tip of an elephant's trunk! I thought it would be just like a water hose."

"Mommy, it's glaring at me with its nostril!"

Fang Ye smiled and gave it a couple of gentle touches, and it actually felt quite nice.
