Chapitre 71: Chapter 637: Offering the Big Tail Proactively
Fang Ye moved the popsicle a little further away!
Chestnut noticed her head stretching out, her tongue reaching out but unable to reach it.
Resting her chin on the tree trunk, her bright black eyes stared at him, her white whiskers twitching, and she panted slightly with her tongue out.
She extended her palm outward, lazily stretching her body.
Then her whole body deflated like a deflated ball, her legs placed backward, turning into a soft pile, becoming a small red panda pancake, looking extremely lazy, with slightly squinted eyes.
If you don't give me to eat, I won't eat! I'm too lazy to get down from the tree.
It's comfortable to stay motionless on the tree and sleep.
If it's not convenient for you to wait for me to sleep, then I'll come down to eat.
Fang Ye was a bit helpless, "Baby, this is a popsicle, if you don't eat it soon, it will melt!"
If Red Bean saw something delicious, she would have jumped down from the tree long ago, climbed up and hugged his leg.
Snapping his fingers, he saw Chestnut tilting her head, opening one eye to look at him, and he gestured towards her with his hand, "If you don't want to come down, give me your paw! Paw!"
While placing his right hand on top of his left, he demonstrated it to her.
Chestnut watched Fang Ye's actions, blinked, seemingly deep in thought.
Then slowly, she sat up from the tree trunk, her claws gripping the edge of the trunk, shifted her bottom, and swung her fluffy big tail over.
Seeing Fang Ye standing still with no reaction, she used her paw to push her tail.
If you want to touch my tail, I'll let you.
Fang Ye was both amused and touched, "I asked you to give me your paw, not your tail!"
Chestnut looked puzzled, appearing innocent and unknowing.
When netizens saw this scene, they were overwhelmed by cuteness, their blood pressure instantly dropped!
"?????"
"Wow, offering the big tail proactively!"
"So cute, awwww!"
"I kind of understand, but not completely! Hahaha, offering the tail is too cute!"
"Maybe Chestnut feels sorry for the director for not having a tail, so she offered her tail to comfort him!"
"It feels like the director is a Disney princess on the run, with such a good connection with animals."
"Nahe" rewarded a rocket!
"Lengmu Sui Shuang" rewarded an airplane!
When the big tail is offered, there's no reason not to touch it.
Fang Ye lightly rubbed Chestnut's tail a few times, smiled at the camera, and said, "The reason I enjoy interacting with animals is because they are like innocent children, with pure hearts, and can bring surprises and emotions unexpectedly."
"Indeed, watching the director's interaction with the animals is really healing! I feel energized today!"
"No problem, just like that! / Lemon / Lemon / Lemon"
"Oh, I feel like visiting the zoo again, to see the cute little ones!"
"Last time I visited the director's zoo, I saw the red pandas out for a walk, passing by my feet, they were really super cute! But you can only watch from the side, not touch them, and definitely not feed them, with a keeper following behind."
"I wanted to sneak a touch while the keeper wasn't looking, but I never found the opportunity, otherwise, stroking a red panda's tail would definitely be enjoyable."
"Haha, are you the outlaw Zhang San?"
"Not letting you touch is to protect you! The red pandas have sharp teeth, they can bite off your fingers in one go."
After stroking Chestnut's tail, he handed her the popsicle.
Seeing Chestnut licking the popsicle with relish, Fang Ye showed a smile like that of an old father.
Just because Chestnut had offered her tail earlier, he willingly held up the popsicle, even if his arms were sore.
However, Chestnut might have found the position uncomfortable for eating, so after licking it for a while, she extended her paw and held the popsicle herself to eat.
Fang Ye stretched his arms, "Let's go, let's go check out the raccoon enclosure next."
...
Arriving at the raccoon enclosure!
The raccoons were also engaging in summer entertainment activities.
There was half of a green watermelon on the ground, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't red flesh inside but a lump of white ice.
This was similar to the red panda popsicle, with slight differences in appearance.
Four or five raccoons gathered around the watermelon, sniffing and showing interest in it.
Their paws were placed on the ice inside the watermelon, touching and feeling it.
Another lump of ice seemed to be frozen in a basin, but there was no raccoon around it.
Soon, one raccoon lost interest in the watermelon and walked towards the ice in the basin.
The raccoons around the watermelon gradually dispersed, and more raccoons came over, but they didn't seem very interested. Eventually, they all dispersed and gathered around the basin of ice.
Keeper Xiao Nie observed the raccoons' behavior from outside the glass wall , and Fang Ye patted his shoulder.
Thinking it was a visitor with a question, Xiao Nie turned around and saw Fang Ye, immediately respectful, "Hello, Director!"
Fang Ye asked, "Is this a new enrichment activity you've set up?"
Xiao Nie scratched his head and explained, "Yes, we utilized the leftover watermelon rind by filling it with frozen fruit chunks. We thought the raccoons would enjoy it very much.
They seemed interested at first, but maybe the outer layer of the watermelon rind made it inconvenient to eat?"
He gestured, "If we put it in a container, maybe in a smaller cantaloupe shell, it might be easier to eat."
Fang Ye smiled, "Okay, let's try that next time!"
He told the netizens, "Taking care of animals is not just about providing enrichment once, it's like playing a game for us humans. No matter how fun a game is, after playing for a while, we get tired of it. Even a game as fun as 'League of Legends' needs constant updates, new heroes, new equipment, and new modes to keep players engaged.
So, we need to continuously try new enrichment activities to bring a sense of novelty to the animals and improve their welfare."
"The examples the director provided are so easy to understand."
"Each version brings a different experience, playing Garen in every version!"
"Old people now only play Arctic Showdown, wearing a mask and ice, so happy!"
"Indeed, playing ranked matches often leads to arguments, playing Arctic Showdown has reduced the tension. I used to care a lot about winning or losing, but now I understand that the most important thing about playing games is to have fun."
Fang Ye said, "New enrichment activities don't always guarantee that the animals will like them. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail, and it requires continuous experimentation, it's not an overnight success.
Like this method of freezing fruit chunks in a watermelon shell, it's a form of exploration by the keepers.
The watermelon's appearance and residual flavor, for the raccoons, are more appealing. Earlier, when two lumps of ice were placed in the activity area, they all went for the ice in the watermelon shell, indicating some success. But since it's not convenient to eat, it needs improvement."
"This is something we rarely hear the director talk about!"
