I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 584 : Feather Replacement Surgery

Seeing the two snakes quietly basking together under the lamp, they radiated a tranquil and harmonious vibe, which truly felt peaceful and loving!

Regarding the issue of "cold-blooded animals," Yan Ganghui also consulted with Lü Ye.

It turns out that the accurate term is ectothermic, and the temperature variation is just to better conserve energy, maintaining physiological functions with less energy, which has nothing to do with intelligence or emotions.

Diamondback rattlesnakes will make the sound of their tail louder when a threat approaches. When hunting, and even after being hunted by humans frequently, they can control their tail to stay silent to avoid revealing their location, showing that they are very smart animals! They are not the brainless fools they are imagined to be.

Being tolerant of their own kind and even other snakes, taking kids for a walk, protecting their offspring, visiting relatives' homes—such behaviors all seem very "humane."

In comparison, some people's tolerance doesn't quite measure up to these "cold-blooded and heartless snakes."

Seeing snakes or other spiders, centipedes and the like often leads to screams for killing them, not necessarily because they pose a threat but perhaps just because of simple dislike.

Initially that didn't seem to be a problem, but after understanding this, one might think it's not so good.

If they are considered dangerous and frightening, why not keep a respectful distance? Why must there be unnecessary conflict? After all, who is the more dangerous one?

With these thoughts in mind, Yan Ganghui left the front of the diamondback rattlesnake's enclosure.

After a round through the reptiles and amphibians exhibit, he had learnt quite a bit of new knowledge and his impression of snakes had significantly changed.

After the opening of Linhai Zoo's hot spring resort, many tourists took videos and photos, sharing them on various social media platforms!

"Went to Linhai Zoo for a hot spring soak today, and it was so relaxing!"

Especially the experience videos shot by beautiful women, with the beautiful environment being secondary, flaunting their swimsuits openly, which set off a howling frenzy from netizens!

"If it were just me, a man here, I'd drink all the pool water!"

"I hate big data these days, pushing these vulgar things every day to me... oh, it's because I like watching them, then it's okay!"

"If the heart is clear as ice, one won't flinch even if the sky falls!"

"Why is it that I never encounter beauties when I go to mixed baths, just aunties!?"

"Day one of quitting lust, day one of quitting lust, day two of quitting lust, day one of quitting lust"

"Dude, are you teleporting on the spot?"

The local forums also had quite a few people discussing, with content that was more serious!

"When did Linhai Zoo get hot springs? How much does it cost? I want to take my family for a soak!"

"If you've got the budget you can book a small courtyard, with a private bath, for 1200 a night! It's quite a good deal, and there's a discount right now."

"I recommend everyone try the hot spring with a medicinal bath! You feel refreshed after soaking, like you have endless energy."

"Honestly, 1500 feels a bit expensive. My wallet hurts, I couldn't bear to spend that much! I just added 20 and bought a packet of cherry blossoms to soak with, which was quite comfortable."

"Damn, isn't this blatant robbery?"

"It's a bit pricey, but the effect is really good, you'll regret it if you don't soak! I swear on my dog's life! Linhai Zoo's ticket price is so cheap, when have they ever scammed people? It's all worth the money."

As the reputation spread, the weekend rooms at the hot spring resort were quickly reserved clean.

Even tourists from nearby cities, after seeing the great environment in the videos online, were planning to come over, play around, and soak in the hot springs.

...

In the animal hospital, Fang Ye and Lin Ying along with several veterinarians gathered around the surgery table, observing the situation.

On the surgery table, a collared scops owl lay covered with a thin white towel over its head, to prevent stress.

Today, they were to perform a special surgery on this patient!

Lin Ying started cutting metal wire with scissors, while Fang Ye soothed the collared scops owl, "It's okay, be good, don't be scared!"

Actually, this kind of comfort might not even be necessary, since the collared scops owl was quite tough on its own!

It was flying well on its own out on the road a month ago before it was accidentally hit by a car.

When it was brought to the rescue center, blood filled its mouth, its wings were damaged, and its feathers were scattered.

With wistful cries, it struggled continuously, trying to flap its wings, looking very pitiful.

The injury was severe!

The doctors could only do their best to treat it, stopping the bleeding and cleaning the wound, leaving its full recovery to fate.

The second day after it arrived at the rescue center, its head was tilted to one side, unable to straighten up.

Upon diagnosis, it was due to internal bleeding in the brain pressing on the nerves.

At that time, nobody held out much hope, thinking it might die very soon.

But this collared scops owl proved to everyone what vitality and tenacity life could have!

Although it walked shakily, like someone with Parkinson's disease, and occasionally fell over, it still strived to feed itself without needing the staff to assist it, showing a strong will to live.

Every day, the doctor would also massage its muscles and integrate some nerve-nourishing medicine into the flesh.

With meticulous care, the state of the collared scops owl gradually improved, getting a bit better each day.

It didn't fall when walking anymore, and its head gradually straightened back up.

However, there was still one problem: its wing was severely injured!

Many feathers were broken and damaged, unable to return to the blue skies.

After discussion, they decided to perform a "feather transplant" surgery on it.

Since the establishment of the rescue center last year, they had been collecting the feathers of birds of prey. Some were naturally shed, others belonged to those that could not be saved and had perished, all processed and stored as a "feather bank".

Then, using the collected feathers that matched the positions needed, they began to replace the damaged feathers of the collared scops owl.

But the collared scops owl needed so many replacements that they had to string the feathers together!

Lin Ying cut a suitably sized piece of fine metal wire, which would act like a metal skeleton.

She then threaded the intact feathers onto it, securing them with surgical adhesive.

Another doctor was simultaneously removing the damaged feathers from the collared scops owl, one by one.

Fang Ye used the Eye of Observation to monitor the collared scops owl's condition, ready to cast a soothing skill if there were any violent movements.

The surgery sounded simple, but the operation was delicate and troublesome, estimated to take several hours.

If they only needed a short amount of time, they could anesthetize it, but such a long duration without anesthesia was not possible; a large dose might just kill it.

The soothing skill was much more effective than an anesthetic.

However, the collared scops owl was very cooperative and strong, letting the doctor manipulate its wings without making a sound, only slightly flinching once!

After several hours, the surgery was successfully completed!

Fang Ye did not even need to use his soothing skill.

Everyone smiled as they looked at the collared scops owl's pair of brand-new, beautiful wings.

When the collared scops owl grew new feathers in the future, the wings glued together would naturally fall off.

They happily high-fived one another, celebrating with joyful shouts, "Yeah!"

The doctor took the collared scops owl back to its cage to recuperate, and at that moment, Fang Ye also heard a long-missed system prompt.
