Chapter 159: Chapter 725: The Half-hearted Wolf Howl!
"Haha, why does it seem so silly!"
"Bing Gao is really lively."
"Even though she's big, her mental age is still quite young! Mischievous and playful."
"Jiao Jiao is willing to spoil her."
"She looks just like my cat at home; I really want to play with them!"
"Tigers are cats too! But it's best to admire them from afar. Don't be fooled by their cuteness; they're still fierce predators. Only the director can play with them like this; one swipe and a person would be gone."
"Director, didn't you say you were going to find a mate for Jiao Jiao last time? Did you find one?"
Fang Ye gently stroked Jiao Jiao's tail: "Considering Bing Gao is still quite young this year, we haven't introduced a mate. Bing Gao would just be a third wheel. And with the current situation, it's not easy to bring in new animals to the zoo. By next year, Bing Gao and Jiao Jiao can be separated."
Introducing koalas is also a process. Various applications were submitted, and people from Australian zoos and related institutions were planning to visit for an exchange and to inspect Linhai Zoo's qualifications.
It seemed promising, but then it got delayed due to the pandemic.
"Oh no~"
"Looks like we won't see Jiao Jiao raising tiger cubs this year!"
The netizens were a bit disappointed.
Fang Ye smiled: "Even if there are no tiger cubs, we still have panda cubs! Our Zhuang Zhuang and Yun Duo can mate this year."
"Wow, looking forward to it!"
"Panda cubs drinking milk from a bowl are the cutest!"
"But panda mating is difficult; it all depends on luck!"
"Hey, I suddenly remembered, isn't it said that the golden pheasants in the Golden Pheasant Forest are very effective at granting wishes? Someone wished for EDG to win the championship, and they won that night! The director should make a wish to the golden pheasants!"
"The Golden Pheasant Forest is right next to the Panda Pavilion! Whoa, and the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram in the Panda Pavilion, could it be some kind of formation set up by the director to increase breeding rates?"
Fang Ye looked at the comments and couldn't help but laugh: "This is getting more and more ridiculous! There's no such strange formation."
"Awooo~~"
A deep and resonant wolf howl echoed, undoubtedly Black Charcoal singing.
His voice was the most recognizable, the famous wolf tenor, the Pavarotti of the wolf pack.
"Awooo~~"
"Oooh, awooo awooo awooo~~~"
As Black Charcoal's voice rang out, a high-pitched and clear wolf howl followed, then another from a different direction, and then a third, with many wolf howls joining the chorus.
The wolf enclosure was right next to the tiger enclosure, and the wolf howls were very penetrating. With no noisy visitors around, it was clearly audible in the tiger enclosure.
If you only listened to the sound, you would think it was a large wolf pack.
In reality, there were only a dozen wolves, but each had its unique pitch. When they sang together, it sounded like many wolves responding to each other from all directions, hidden in the unseen corners of the forest, surrounding the area.
Jiao Jiao and Bing Gao immediately perked up their ears. They were used to their neighbors singing every day and listened quietly.
Fang Ye stood up: "Hey, the wolf pack is singing now, let's go take a look."
The zoo's wolf pack usually sang together once in the early morning when they first came out to play. With the temperature dropping and snow added to the activity area, they had been more excited recently and sang once in the afternoon as well.
At the wolf enclosure!
Black Charcoal and Xiao Yu were sitting on the high slope, raising their heads and singing loudly.
Two other wolves lay nearby, howling seriously along with them!
But not all wolves were singing seriously.
Black Charcoal's pup, the little black wolf, lay on the grass, limbs relaxed, eyes closed, looking like it had stayed up all night gaming and was exhausted.
After playing wildly for a while, it had no energy to sing, its mouth open, making weak sounds.
"Ooo~~"
Its voice grew weaker, like a mosquito buzzing.
The little black wolf's mouth moved slightly, its ears twitching instead of its mouth.
It probably thought, as long as I open my mouth, I'm singing!
"This is so half-hearted! Its eyes are closed."
"Hahaha, it looks just like me when I'm too tired to attend morning classes."
"I'm laughing so hard I'm hitting the wall!"
"Slacking off, it seems every department has someone slacking!"
"Didn't its mom teach it how to sing?"
The little black wolf lay on the ground, silent for a while, its eyes slightly open, staring blankly ahead.
Maybe it felt too lazy, had an internal struggle, then took a deep breath, its belly slightly puffing up.
"Ooo~~ awooo~~"
It continued to howl weakly.
At this volume, it could howl slowly for a long time with one breath.
The little black wolf seemed to have mastered the art of slacking.
Suddenly, its ears twitched, and it jerked its head up, looking behind it!
Like a student slacking off in morning class, realizing the teacher was standing behind them!
Did any wolf see me slacking?
Looking around and seeing no wolf paying attention, it breathed a sigh of relief and yawned.
Rolling over, it lay back on the grass, closed its eyes, and returned to its lazy posture.
The netizens watching the little black wolf's half-hearted singing almost died laughing!
After the singing, the little black wolf didn't have to pretend anymore, and the other wolves started moving around.
Mao Xian chased after Xiao Bai Cai, jumping around, its tail wagging like a lively pup.
Seeing this, Fang Ye chuckled: "It's also the breeding season for wolves in these two months! It looks like Mao Xian is courting Xiao Bai Cai."
Breeding in the zoo is planned, especially for animals like lions and wolves that can have multiple offspring in one litter. If breeding isn't controlled, the growing number of animals would lead to insufficient space in the activity area, increased conflicts, and reduced animal welfare.
Last year, during the wolf pack's mating season, Xiao Bai Cai was kept in the inner area.
However, the system's lottery drew a contraceptive pill with no side effects, effective for a year, so Xiao Bai Cai was given the pill this year, allowing them to freely fall in love.
Mao Xian wagged its tail, lowering its front body, trying to jump onto Xiao Bai Cai's back!
Xiao Bai Cai, in a high and mighty manner, sat on the ground, making herself unassailable.
Female wolves are hard to win over, and only a few male wolves succeed in courting them.
At this moment, Hei Bei also ran over, baring its teeth at Mao Xian.
A beauty is only for the strong; if you want to court Xiao Bai Cai, you have to get my approval first!
You silly wolf, Xiao Bai Cai won't fancy you!
Taking advantage of the two male wolves' entanglement, Xiao Bai Cai quickly ran off.
But soon, Dou Dou also ran over, wagging its tail vigorously at Xiao Bai Cai, showing its flattery and affection.
Xiao Bai Cai was now the most popular wolf in the enclosure.
As for Xiao Yu, with Black Charcoal watching fiercely nearby, any other wolves daring to approach were chased away.
After enjoying the wolves' love and rivalry, Fang Ye checked the time: "We've been streaming for quite a while today, let's end it here! We'll continue tomorrow."
He smiled and waved at the camera.
"Goodbye, Director!"
