Warter Swan came to the Tianshan Wild Zoo in Xinjiang in 2019. After continuous domestication in recent years, it has gradually adapted to the environment. In late May of this year, the first nest wart nose swan babies came out of the shell after about a month, and the natural hatching wart nose swan baby was healthy, lively and active. Coupled with them, the park now has 56 wart nose swans.
In the pavilion specially arranged by the park, six small wart nose swans followed the goose mother to swim and eat vegetable leaves, which is different from the nobleness and beauty of the long -necked neck and neck. The swan cub, who came to shake his head, was more like ducklings, and it was very cute. These \"ugly ducklings\" need half a year to one year to become as elegant as their parents. Seeing a tourist coming over, the goose father immediately opened his wings, the offensive was full, and the goose mother calmly calmly looked at the baby's swimming.
Pillina, Minister of Tourism Planning and Development, Xinjiang Tianshan Wildlife Park Tourism Planning, introduced that the little wart nose swan just started to live with his parents in the swan lake in the park, but due to the opening of Swan Lake, he was often attacked by hunting. The life of the wart nose is threatened. In order to protect them, the park specially arranged an independent room for the Swan family. The goose dad is responsible for looking at the home nursing home daily. The mother of the goose is responsible for living diet. In order to ensure the balanced nutrition of the six wart noses, in addition to their favorite fresh vegetable leaves, the breeders also prepared them with fine feed granules made of egg yolk, bamboo shoots, fabrics, apples, and leafs.
The wart nose swan is named after a tumor warts in the forehead. The breeding period is from March to May, and the female birds will produce about 4 to 9 eggs per nest. They are very elegant at the time of water, and they are said to be the action prototype of the classical ballet \"Swan Lake\". Because the wart nose is rarely made, only a few hoarse sounds occasionally make a few hoarse sounds, so it is also called \"dumb swan\".
Although the feathers of the wart nose, the big swan, the big swan, and the little swan are all white, they also belong to the genus of the Goose -shaped Duck Swan, but people often say that the white swan usually refers to the big swan. And the same size wart nose swan and big swan are also very distinguished: the protrusion of a tumor wart in the front forehead of the wart nose swan is not available; The side edge is pointed, and the neck is more straight than the wart nose when swimming.
