章 61: Chapter 627: Birth of the Red Panda
Xiao Kong was sprinkled with sand, but he didn't mind, brushing the sand off his clothes.
Seeing Fang Ye, he smiled with surprise, "Director, you're here! Recently I've been playing the flute as you suggested, and it seems that the elephants like to play with me more."
Fang Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hehe..."
As long as you're happy!
Xiao Qing couldn't help stroking his chin, "Is there a possibility that the elephants don't like to hear you play the flute?"
Xiao Kong confidently said, "I play the flute with all my heart, and the elephants can feel it! Haven't you noticed that during the recent behavior training, the elephants are cooperating with me much better."
Xiao Qing was speechless for a moment, this was what puzzled him the most! Clearly, Xiao Kong's flute playing was quite bad, and the elephants didn't seem to like it.
However, outside of the flute playing moments, the elephants' training interactions seemed to be more intimate with Xiao Kong.
It didn't make sense.
Ping Ping came over at this time, stretched out its trunk to greet him, Fang Ye touched it, gave it an apple, and smiled, "Oh, isn't this our most lively and cute Ping Ping."
Ping Ping curled up the apple and ate it, then started playing again, its trunk came out from under the railing and landed on Fang Ye's shoes, trying to untie his shoelaces.
Although the elephant's trunk is as wide as its foot, it is very dexterous, and it quickly untied the shoelaces.
Fang Ye was chatting with the keepers, asking about the elephants' condition, and didn't notice what Ping Ping was doing.
Suddenly he felt something was wrong with his foot, and when he looked down, he found that his shoelaces were untied. He couldn't help but lightly flicked Ping Ping's trunk with his finger, "When did you learn to untie shoelaces!"
Ping Ping was successful in its prank, grinned, turned its head, and quickly walked away.
Just then, his phone rang.
Fang Ye answered the call, it was Guan Shan who called, "Hello, Director? It seems that Red Bean is about to give birth!"
He was immediately energized and replied, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
In the past few days, through monitoring, Red Bean seemed to be in the final stages of labor, not liking to come out and move, hiding in the nest box prepared for it, looking a bit restless.
Fang Ye also took it very seriously, asking Guan Shan to notify him of any developments at any time.
Upon receiving the call, he hurried to the Red Panda Pavilion.
Xiao Kong and Xiao Qing also heard the good news!
Xiao Qing said, "Wow, the red panda is about to be born! It's a pity that we're busy now and can't go over to join in the fun."
Xiao Kong was a bit emotional, "When will our elephants give birth to a baby elephant."
Xiao Qing said, "Don't even mention it, our male elephant hasn't arrived yet."
Xiao Kong said, "And elephants have a gestation period of almost two years, waiting for it to bloom..."
Elephants generally start mating in March, and male elephants are much more aggressive during the mating season, which can last up to six months.
This period is not very suitable for transportation, so the scheduled male elephant has not been transported until now.
So the zoo needs to build separate activity areas and backhouses for male and female elephants. Living in a backhouse with separate bars is not enough, if the female elephant is always with the male elephant in heat, the psychological pressure is very great, and they need to be isolated visually.
Moreover, male elephants of a certain age will enter a "frenzy" state during the mating season. Elephants in a frenzied state are very terrifying, you can imagine them as zombie tyrants, irrationally venting their destructive power, even the keepers who usually have a good relationship with them, dare not approach at this time.
...
When Fang Ye went to the Red Panda Pavilion, he also called Lan Li on the phone, "Wife, Red Bean is about to give birth!"
Lan Li was happy to hear this, "Ah, really!"
She also came over to join in the fun, ready to watch the birth process of the red panda.
She loves these fluffy and cute animals the most. In her mind, the top 3 cute animals in the zoo are pandas, red pandas, and red foxes, with rabbit monkeys ranking fourth.
The main reason is that rabbit monkeys don't like to do business usually, and they often can't be seen when they go over. Otherwise, the cuteness level should be able to rank second, tied with red pandas.
Fang Ye arrived at the monitoring room of the Red Panda Pavilion and saw Lin Ying. He was surprised, "Wow, you arrived faster than I did!"
He moved a chair and sat in front of the monitor.
Lin Ying laughed, "Our animal hospital is just next door."
Two minutes later, Lan Li also ran over, panting, "I didn't come late, did I?"
Fang Ye waved his hand and smiled, "Come here, sit next to me!"
Red Bean was huddled in a corner, lifting one leg, its large tail by its side, constantly licking its lower body! Because one paw was across its body, it was not very clear.
A group of people watched the monitor, feeling incredibly anxious.
"Hey, has it given birth yet?"
Lan Li suddenly said, "I think I saw something moving!"
Fang Ye's face was almost stuck to the monitor, carefully checking, "Don't give false military information, I can't see anything."
Guan Shan pushed Fang Ye's head away without courtesy, "I want to see too! Director, your head is blocking everything!"
"Huh!"
At this time, everyone shouted in unison! Red Bean changed its position, and again curled its tail to block its lower body, still nothing could be seen because it was covered by the fluffy tail.
"Ah~"
Everyone sighed in disappointment.
Red pandas are usually silent, and even now that it's giving birth, it doesn't make a sound.
After a while, everyone exclaimed again, this time they really saw it clearly, a thin, black thing, like a little caterpillar, lying on its back on the dry grass in the nest box, its body slightly twisting.
At some point, it had already been born!
It was still wrapped in a layer of fetal membrane at this time, looking wet. Its body was wobbly, trying hard to stretch its little paws.
It wriggled its body, trying to climb up from Red Bean's tail, but it rolled down and snuggled into Red Bean's warm embrace.
Everyone cheered at once!
"Great!"
"It's born, it's born!"
The birth process seemed to go very smoothly!
Red Bean didn't lick the fur of this cub, but continued to lick its own lower body.
The first cub didn't get its mother's licking, it struggled hard, climbed up from the tail, rolled down with a flutter, and burrowed into Red Bean's warm embrace.
Soon, the second one came out too!
Only then did Red Bean start to lick their fur.
With continuous licking, the cubs gradually became fluffy, and their color changed from black to light gray.
The cubs of red pandas, just born, weigh only about 100 grams! The tail is also sharp and thin, just like a little mouse.
The skin around the nose and the paw pads are pink and tender.
The two cubs snuggled in Red Bean's arms, gurgling and drinking milk!
Lan Li watched the red panda cubs, her eyes sparkling, "They are so cute! They look like little plush dolls."
They quickly fell asleep, one lying on Red Bean's stomach, the other hugging its leg, their bodies curled into a ball, their bellies gently rising and falling.
Red Bean then curled up its large tail, covering the two cubs!
Occasionally, she would lower her head to lick them a few times. Although she is usually a little foodie, she seems to be very reliable as a mother.
