【记者探访昆明动物园大象馆 #大象乖乖伸脚做美甲# 】昆明动物园大象馆是全国第一座现代化大象馆,这里生活着从野外救护而来的亚洲象和人工繁育的亚洲象种群,也是目前全国最大的亚洲象圈养种群之一。总台记者在探访大象馆时注意到,它们身上糊上了一层泥巴,这是大象用来防暑降温的好办法。更享受的是,踩完泥巴后,饲养员还会定期给大象“做美甲”,帮助它们清理多余的指甲和角质层。戳视频,揭秘大象“美甲”全过程!In southwest China's Yunnan Province, Kunming Zoo is home to nine Asian elephants, one of the largest Asian elephant herds in China. When the days turn warm, the elephants cover their skin with mud to keep cool. Then the keepers at the zoo trim up the elephants' feet regularly to shape their nails and clean their cuticles. The regular pedicure treatment aims to evaluate the elephants' foot health and make sure no rocks or other debris get stuck in the grooves of their feet, the keepers said.
