一个比预期的圣诞节更冷却的圣诞节引发了澳大利亚爬虫公园早期的鳄鱼筑巢潮,促使工作人员开始每天收集4到5个美国鳄鱼的鸡蛋,这些鳄鱼在圣诞节晚上产卵。 A cooler-than-expected Christmas triggered an early alligator nesting surge at Australia’s Reptile Park, prompting staff to begin daily egg collection from four to five American alligators that laid eggs on Christmas night. 为了保护胚胎免受严酷的夏季条件的影响,防止被掠夺或逃跑, 多达15名守护者利用束缚和团队合作来管理攻击性雌性, To protect embryos from harsh summer conditions and prevent predation or escape, up to 15 keepers conduct risky "nest raids," using restraints and teamwork to manage aggressive females. 发现了多个巢穴,包括一个由两名雌性共用的巢穴,并正在将鸡蛋转移到孵化器。 Multiple nests were found, including one shared by two females, and eggs are being moved to incubators. 该公园遵循国家准则,限制孵化数量,以防止人口过多,其运作持续三至四个星期。 The park follows national guidelines limiting hatchling numbers to prevent overpopulation, with the operation continuing for three to four weeks.
