Chimpanzee's gaze: You're going to such lengths to prevent me from having a good meal?!

The keeper is devoted to the chimpanzee child and his family.

Foraging becomes increasingly difficult.

Just to prevent them from having a good meal!

The gaze from the chimpanzee Xiaoyu: Want to make things difficult for us?

In fact, the keepers do this entirely so that these furry children can eat nutritiously and have fun. They keep pace with the chimpanzees and come up with a variety of ways to increase the difficulty of eating for the chimpanzees and extend their meal time. Let the chimpanzees invest a lot of time and energy in the daily trivial matter of eating. It seems to be "troublesome", but in fact there are mysteries. Welcome to the daily "food challenge" of chimpanzees——

Rice, can't, eat well

First, let's take a look at the settings of the breeder

Pea shoot challenge!

Did they find this food?

Hei Dou: Do you think I can do it?

This time, the keepers placed fallen leaves on the roof and scattered pea seedlings among the fallen leaves. Looking up from the ground, it was a pile of fallen leaves with no pattern. Can the chimpanzees see through this "camouflage"?

Handsome black beans are here!

Hey, don't underestimate these smart chimpanzees, they have super keen observation skills! Hei Dou looked up and took action immediately. He climbed up and grabbed it with his flexible feet.

Eating while exercising

He began to peel off the fallen leaves one by one, patiently, looking for pea sprouts hidden among them, and ate each one he found. The food you make yourself is so delicious!

Hei Dou: Of course we are great!

At the same time, the feed room will ensure balanced nutrition and scientific proportions. It will also adjust the types of food according to seasonal changes, provide rich and diverse choices, and increase their freshness and interest in eating by continuously changing the types of food.

When foraging for wild rice stems, the keepers still adopted the strategy of "not letting the chimpanzees eat properly" - they would not peel the wild rice stems in advance before providing them to the chimpanzees. Instead, they left the task of processing the food entirely to these smart chimpanzees to solve on their own. The finger joints of chimpanzees are very flexible and can grasp and manipulate objects accurately.

Hei Dou used his hands skillfully, moving his fingers flexibly along the edge of the outer skin of the wild rice stem. In a blink of an eye, he successfully obtained the tender and delicious part hidden inside, and then ate it happily.

Use your hands and feet together to see how flexible you are!

During foraging,

In order to eat food from other chimpanzees,

It is not uncommon to see them chasing each other, laughing and playing.

Heartwarming scenes of sharing food with each other are often seen.

However, one thing he has changed?

During one of the pear-eating process, Tiedou was quick to grab a piece. At this moment, he seemed to see Heidou rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. In an instant, Tiedou ran away like an arrow from a bow. Heidou chased closely behind him. The two brothers jumped up and down in the activity area, running left and right, and shuttling between perches and ropes.

With his increasingly flexible climbing and moving abilities, Tiedou cleverly avoided being chased by Heidou. During the chase, Tiedou ran and chewed at the same time. When Heidou caught up and stopped, Tiedou had already eaten all the pears.

It seems that Heidou no longer favors his younger brother Tiedou as much as before, but Tiedou's physical fitness and reaction ability have also been improved in the play of sharing food. This is undoubtedly a unique and effective way to promote growth, which promotes Tiedou's continuous improvement in survival skills and behavior.

Tiedou: Brother Bean, I want to eat too!

The other brother, Mr. Bean, still dotes on little Tiedou. Whenever Tiedou comes over to share some, Mr. Bean always shares his food without hesitation.

Mr. Bean: He is my little brother after all, so I should just pamper him!

After enjoying the delicious food, the children's play gradually ended, and the chimpanzee family welcomed their rest time.

Playing among three brothers

Parents, love everywhere

After playing and laughing with his brothers, although Tiedou has grown up, he still likes to snuggle in his mother's arms and rest most of the time.

The temperature was just right in the afternoon, and she lay comfortably on the wood wool. The thick and fluffy wood wool provided excellent warmth retention, allowing Xiaoshan to close her eyes slightly, looking particularly relaxed.

However, the lively little Tiedou did not fall asleep so quickly. He half sat up in his mother Xiaoshan's arms, his little head erect, his eyes flickering as he observed the surrounding environment, full of curiosity. But recently, the situation is different! The father, Xiaotong, the head of the family who is always serious and majestic, actually held Tiedou and groomed him for the first time~

A moment of deep fatherly love.

The sunlight seems particularly soft.

Make the iron bean look smaller.

Tiedou tilted his head.

Seems to be thinking about something.

Maybe he was thinking:

"I will be as tall and strong as my dad in the future!"
