Let you open a chicken farm, how can it become a zoo

In the breeding room, Gu Ning and everyone at the Xiping City Zoo were nervously observing the hatching process of the baby spotted turtle.

Seeing Lin Zhi enter, Gu Ning quickly handed over the record book in her hand.

"Boss Lin, look, this is what happened to the little turtles just now."

Some netizens had been watching the situation of the spotted turtle and hurriedly reported it without waiting for Lin Zhi to check the record book.

[Boss Lin, there are now a total of twenty-four small turtles that have shell-breaking reactions. Ten of them have pushed open the eggshells, and fourteen more are working hard to break open the cracks. 】

[Only one of the earliest ones has been completely pushed open, but has not climbed out yet. 】

[The rest is just shaking but there is no response. Nothing will happen, right? 】

[No, the incubation process of spotted turtles is relatively long, and the temperature difference is not small. It is normal to have a few days of incubation time difference. As long as it is not stillbirth, there will be no problem. 】

Zanghu Buliang opened his mouth to explain, and netizens breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as something goes wrong, they don't have to worry anymore.

Looking at the screen again, the first few baby turtles have completely broken through the eggshell and poked their heads out.

[Hey, no, why is this a pig’s nose? 】

[Yes, I thought I was dazzled. 】

[What kind of turtle is this? It’s obviously a piglet. 】

[Boss Lin, when did pigs become oviparous animals? 】

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Zhi shook his head, stepped forward to pick up the little spotted turtle that had just broken out of its shell, and gave a close-up of it.

"This looks like a pig, but the nostrils are just a little bit similar. When it opens wider and comes out, you won't be able to tell the difference."

As soon as he spoke, the soft-shelled turtle egg in Lin Zhi's palm expanded its mouth, and the small soft-shelled turtle poked its head out.

The gray arms are draped over the little head, pushing open the white eggshell, and a small body emerges. A pair of eyes the size of sesame seeds stare at the camera with clear and stupid eyes.

[This look is as good as my cousin’s! 】

[It feels a bit too stupid. You would feel guilty for deceiving such a stupid child, right? 】

[Oh my god, a turtle has such clean eyes, so cute! 】

[No wonder it is a world-class protected animal, it looks so cute. 】

Netizens were filled with emotion. Lin Zhi spread his hands and turned his palms to give the turtle more room to move.

The spotted softshell turtle opened the eggshell with its two forelimbs and tried to crawl out half of its body behind it.

"Out!"

Gu Ning exclaimed softly.

"Ah."

Lin Zhi nodded slightly.

These are just the first ones to break out of their shells. They will have better physical strength and energy. It is normal for them to break out of their shells faster.

only……

"Clap!"

The little spotted turtle kicked open the eggshell, squeezed out with difficulty, turned over and rolled in Lin Zhi's hand.

"It's so small!"

William frowned and stretched out his finger.

"Lin, look, it's not as big as my finger!"

"It's incredible. I'm so surprised to think that it can grow to the size of a giant turtle!"

"What's the point? If you can live for hundreds of years, you might change more than it does. Besides, the lifespan is shorter, the giant panda cub is only the size of a small mouse, you don't know that, right?"

"Sister goose!"

William's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lin, are you telling the truth? I have never seen a newborn giant panda!"

"If you are so small, you can grow to such a big size, that's amazing!"

William stretched out two fingers to indicate the length.

"Not that big."

Lin Zhi shook his head and shortened his length by half.

"That's pretty much it."

"Oh!" William's eyes widened.

"So young? No! I must find a chance to see a giant panda giving birth to cubs. This is too...so...shocking!"

William couldn't think of any adjectives for a moment, and the only expression on his face was shock.

"Okay, let's go there and have a look when there is news from Rongcheng."

"no problem!"

William jumped up excitedly, and after landing, he looked at the little guy in Lin Zhi's palm.

"Boss Lin, do these little turtles need to be raised separately?"

"Need not."

Lin Zhi shook his head.

"The living areas of turtles in the wild are not considered safe, but there are few natural enemies. Turtles are basically not in danger, and most of them die from drowning..."

【Aha? 】

[Boss Lin, what did you just say? Will turtles drown and die? 】

[If you are not an amphibian, how can you still drown? 】

[Same question, I can’t understand it either. 】

[Boss Lin, please explain. This completely subverts my understanding. 】

Before Lin Zhi finished speaking, netizens were already in a frenzy.

"it's common."

Lin Zhi took a look at the barrage and was surprised that so many netizens didn't know about it.

"Turtles and turtles are basically amphibians, but they are not completely aquatic. They need to breathe on land to store oxygen."

"But young turtles sometimes encounter some conditions and are unable to float or find a place to stay, and they will eventually drown. Novice turtle keepers should often encounter this situation."

Netizens were stunned for a while.

This is indeed their blind spot.

While cats and dogs dominate, the status of reptiles in the pet industry is basically niche and independent, and it is normal for no one to know about it.

[Boss Lin, didn’t you say that turtles are prone to accidents? Why do you want to release them back into the wild? 】

[Yes, aren’t these the only group of spotted softshell turtles in the world that have been successfully artificially bred? Shouldn’t it be taken good care of? 】

[Yes, I just wanted to say, what if something happens to it because it is left in the wild environment? 】

Lin Zhi saw the messages from netizens and guessed what they were thinking.

"The wild environment I'm talking about is also a zoo. Now the turtles have their own rivers and lakes connected to the outside world to live in, but the environment is much safer than in the wild."

"They basically have no natural enemies living here. Depending on the adjacent area, there are various environments such as desert, woodland, and shoals along the river bank, which is very suitable for spotted softshell turtles to live."

"Furthermore, the water temperature will also change with the temperature, making it easy to observe the life preferences of the giant softshell turtle in different temperatures and environments."

【so smart? 】

[It’s me who is shallow, but it turns out I can still be like this! 】

[Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and you get what you pay for. 】

[At first I thought Boss Lin was unnecessary, but now I feel that Boss Lin is really awesome! 】

[Boss Lin is still breathing heavily when he talks. If he had told us earlier that he was being raised in a zoo, we wouldn’t have worried. 】

【Yeah! It’s still Boss Lin’s problem, it’s not about the wild state, it’s obvious...]

"It's wild."

Lin Zhi's tone remained unchanged.

"I didn't say we wanted to raise these little turtles in one place."

"Where is that?"

William scratched his eyebrows.

"Professor Sun told me before hatching that because there are a lot of baby turtles in this batch, he suggested that I contact several other zoos and send them to be taken care of. On the one hand, it can reduce the care pressure, and on the other hand, it can also be looked at. The living and breeding conditions of spotted softshell turtles in different environments."

"By the way, I also want to leave more species for the spotted turtles. After all, these small spotted turtles are the offspring of these turtles, and being too close is not conducive to population breeding."

"In addition, in real wild environments, it is necessary to release a few after the sub-adults to monitor the wild conditions."

【I see! 】

Netizens suddenly realized that Lin Zhi really thought a lot. (End of chapter)
