After listening to Fang Ye''s explanation, netizens also expressed their understanding.
"Although such a glory stone is a little mini, I think the proportion of lion and glory stone in the animation is estimated to be 30 or 40 meters high, 70 or 80 meters long, and the peak behind is at least 200 meters high.
If you really want to get such a mountain, it''s not only insufficient space, but also a waste of money! I don''t know how much stone will be consumed. "
"Indeed, I think such a scenery is very good!"
"The original glory stone plus mountain peak, if you want to put it in the park, you need at least tens of thousands of square meters of space. It seems that the proportion will be more harmonious, otherwise a glory stone will fill the exhibition area."
"On the contrary, the area of glory stone is large enough to build a zoo on it."
"How big is the mini glory stone in the park? Is there a big man to have a visual inspection?"
"Well... I feel that the top is ten meters high from the ground?"
Seeing the speculation of netizens, Fang Ye smiled and said: "the guess is quite accurate. The length of this glory stone is 30 meters, the width is 7 meters, and the distance from the top to the ground is 10 meters!"
Glory stone is located on a slowly rising slope. There is a large solid stone under the second half. Behind it is a gentle slope made of a large area of bare rock. Some irregular rocks are scattered in disorder, and vigorous shrubs and weeds grow tenaciously from the stone cracks.
Glory stone is the core attraction of the Lion Pavilion, but it is not the only scenery.
Netizens'' attention was attracted by the glory stone just now. After reading the glory stone, their eyes moved to other areas of the exhibition area.
The overall impression is open!
Unlike the tiger Pavilion, which is planted with all kinds of trees, the forest area is also a very important part.
In addition to the vast green grassland, light yellow and light gray rocks, the dry yellow sand land exposed on the surface and sparse trees.
Create a typical climate arid savanna environment in East Africa!
There are two kinds of the most prominent trees, the acacia tree with a height of seven or eight meters and the baobab tree with a height of more than ten meters. In addition, the plants in the exhibition area also include park trees, Robinia pseudoacacia, sand wattle, Elaeagnus angustifolia, strange willow, awn grass, etc.
Miscanthus is a common weed in the tropics. Now it is also planted as an ornamental plant. Chinese Miscanthus is planted in the park. The plant is one to two meters high and the crown width is more than one meter. The inflorescence is light red when it first blooms and turns silver white when it dries. The flowering period is from August to October. It is a bit like a reed growing on the ground.
Sparse trees can not be used as a shelter, so we need this dense weed as a substitute. Lions can hide in it and observe the environment.
With the breeze blowing, a large area of awn grass fluctuates rhythmically from far to near like the waves, and the silver white ears are swaying, which looks very beautiful in the sunlight.
Of course, these Miscanthus are only planted in some areas, and ordinary grass is planted in other places. Otherwise, the whole grassland is covered with tall and dense awn grass. The lion can only see the grass and no animal shadow.
Netizens looked at the environment and couldn''t help but exclaim: "Wow, what a beautiful grassland!"
"Eh, I know the baobab tree, the head of the garden. I saw it on the ring Tailed Fox monkey island just now. What kind of tree is that like an umbrella?"
"Ask! When I watched the lion king, I was particularly impressed by this kind of tree! But I don''t know what it''s called. "
"The tree crown is so wide! It looks ten meters in diameter? "
"I''ve seen it in African documentaries. I feel that when I think of the African prairie, there are only lions and elephants in my head. It''s this kind of tree."
Fang Ye didn''t need to look at the exhibition area to know what the netizens were talking about. He smiled and said, "this tree is called acacia tree. This tree planted in our exhibition area is Acacia with umbrella thorn!
Just listen to the name. It looks like an umbrella with sharp spines. It can be said to be the most beautiful tree in Africa.
It is also one of the favorite foods of vegetarian animals in Africa. And giraffes can be said to be a happy enemy. In the future, giraffes can tell you the story between them. "
"Principal, why isn''t the grass in the exhibition area yellow?"
"Yes, I saw in the documentary that the grass on the grassland in Africa is yellow. We don''t get some of that grass to plant in the park."
Fang Ye laughed: "the grass on the African grassland is not always yellow. It is green in the rainy season. It turns yellow in the dry season. The grass on our side will turn yellow when it is dry."
After thinking about it, he said, "why do you have the impression of yellow grass? It should be because documentaries are shot in the dry season.
During the rainy season, the ground is too muddy, the dry road becomes muddy, and the tires are stuck. Moreover, the grassland grows too vigorously in the rainy season, and it is difficult to shoot animals hiding in the grass.
The climate near the sea is humid, and the temperature is above zero in winter. The lawn will not turn yellow under normal maintenance. Of course, the environment of our African exhibition area should be able to create a dry and yellow period without watering in autumn and winter. "
"So it is!"
Go on and walk along a slightly curved route. The next visit point is also the trench barrier. Here you can enjoy the scenery of the grassland from another angle, and the corner of the glory stone points this way.
Here you can also see that there is a pool of about 300 square meters in front. Around the pool is shallow grass, not far away is dense awn grass, and there is a leafy acacia tree.
At the previous visit point, the view was blocked by glory stone and awn grass, so there was no pool.
Glory stone is not only a beautiful scenic spot in the exhibition area, but also has the function of vision barrier!
When the weather is hot, lions can come to the water to drink and rest. The crown of Acacia tree provides shade, and water takes away heat. It should be very comfortable to rest near here.
This is the back end of the Lion Pavilion. If you have limited time or have enjoyed it, you can go back to the main road along the tour route.
If you want to keep looking, you can turn the corner and keep going.
Above the pool is an overpass four meters high and three meters wide!
There is no gap between the railings.
On the overpass, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the Lion Pavilion grassland. Maybe the lion is drinking water in the pool, or resting in the shade of the tree beside the pool, lazily watching with people''s eyes.
If you don''t want to be seen, change the angle, or drill into the awn grass, you can hide.
The reason why the overpass is placed on the pool is also because there is no grass below and there is a distance from the lion activity area, which can eliminate the feeding desire of some tourists.
Moreover, it has a certain angle, which is also convenient to better appreciate the lion without looking down with your head on the railing.
Fang Ye stepped onto the overpass, gestured to the blue carp to take a picture of the magnificent scenery of the sunny grassland and the swaying awn grass, and said with a smile: "how about it, isn''t it beautiful?"
Reached out and pointed to the opposite side of the overpass: "after the overpass, the indoor Pavilion is in front!"
