The weather in Qingchuan, Shaanxi

Recently, in Qingchuan County, there was such a scene: pronghorn wandered into the bathroom in Tangjiahe Nature Reserve. Regarding this behavior of pronghorn, netizens speculated whether it went to the toilet or drank water.

According to relevant reports, I think it's going to the toilet to lick salt, just like the staff.

First, we need to know something about pronghorn. Pronghorn is a national first-class protected animal, also known as pronghorn. Six unlike? . In Qingchuan Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve, it is recognized as a hot spot with the highest meeting rate of pronghorn in China and even in the world. On the one hand, pronghorn needs salt in its growth process, so pronghorn will look for water, food and habitat with high salt content in a certain period of time. Sometimes, pronghorn will lick rocks with high salt content because of lack of food. When the outside world approaches it, it is strongly aggressive. Afraid of heat, not cold.

Secondly, let's take a look at the weather in Tangjiahe Nature Reserve in recent days, such as the recent high temperature, dry air and low humidity in Qingchuan County. Because pronghorn is not afraid of heat and cold, and the air is dry, it may look for a place with water and salt in the reserve, and this place may be the toilet in the reserve.

Then, it is reported that this pronghorn is a male sub-adult pronghorn. At this time, it is in the growth stage. Its main food is plants and salt, but the air humidity is low and the temperature is high, and the salt in the body evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to provide enough salt and plants for the growth of the body. So the little guy broke into the toilet and went into the nearby forest to find plants to eat.

According to the above analysis and pronghorn's habits, pronghorn wandered to the bathroom in Tangjiahe Nature Reserve. Whether it wants to drink water or go to the toilet, these answers are not. It goes to the toilet to lick salt and replenish salt for the body. Let's take a step back and suppose pronghorn comes to the toilet to drink water. Then we should start with the water in the reserve. Generally, the water for animals to drink in the protected area is natural water, and the water in the toilets in the protected area should be supplied and used at any time, so the protected area will be connected with tap water for the normal use of the toilets in the protected area, so this one will be established.
