章節 114: Chapter 680: Cunning Humans!

The keeper entered the activity area and placed the boxes in various places!

Some were hidden high up in the branches, some in haystacks, some in the bushes.

Some were buried in the ground after digging a small hole with a boot, then covered with nearby fallen leaves, and some were stuffed into the gaps between bricks.

Fang Ye smiled and asked, "Does anyone know why we do this?"

Regular viewers of Fang Ye's live streams or visitors to the zoo were familiar with the concept of food enrichment.

They quickly answered, "Because this simulates the natural foraging behavior of animals in the wild! In the wild, animals spend a lot of time foraging each day. In the zoo, without foraging opportunities, they get bored with nothing to do!"

"It helps exercise their various abilities, like their sense of smell and their paws."

Fang Ye said, "That's right. During the foraging process, an animal's brain is in an excited and happy state, similar to how we humans feel when playing games and spending money. The process of spending money is the most enjoyable.

Before spending, you think about how much you can recharge, what cards you can draw, showing off in the guild, everyone praising you, and forming a powerful team in the arena. When you draw cards and see the colorful lights, you get very excited.

But after spending, the excitement fades, and you start to feel bored, even regretful, thinking you could have spent the money on something else, like having hot pot with friends."

"Ouch! That hit home."

"Too real! Every time I spend money, I regret it afterward."

"Can the director remove the surveillance cameras from my room?"

Fang Ye continued, "For animals, the joy starts to fade once they get the food. Food enrichment extends their joy, providing positive welfare for the animals.

Foxes are very smart animals. If the food is hidden too simply, they can easily find it, reducing the effectiveness of the enrichment.

So our keepers have to outsmart them in the process of hiding the food.

You might notice the keepers rubbing the branches and stones in various places. This is to spread the water used to thaw the mice, which carries their scent, in different spots.

Also, when digging holes to hide the mice, not every hole contains a mouse. Some holes are empty.

The keepers also use their feet to shuffle the leaves, creating traces of movement to mislead the foxes.

If the foxes want to find the mice more accurately, they need to use their sense of smell more effectively, unless they are willing to waste their energy.

Wild animals are very energy-efficient."

The viewers were fascinated: "Wow! This food enrichment is so advanced."

"Listening to the director's explanation, I feel like I'm watching a sports match!"

"Really, you can't see the ingenuity behind these seemingly ordinary actions without the director's explanation."

"I can almost see the foxes cursing the cunning keepers while searching for food! /laughcry"

"With such enrichment and environment, the animals can definitely retain more of their natural instincts!"

"I never knew there was so much to feeding animals."

When the keeper finished and left the activity area, the foxes couldn't wait to rush in!

Xiao Qiao, who hadn't been lured by the food earlier, had stayed in the activity area, pretending not to care but secretly observing the keeper's actions.

When the keeper looked at her, she quickly turned her head, pretending nothing happened.

She probably thought she had found a loophole, feeling very smug!

With a smirk, she thought, "I'm the smartest fox."

She jumped off the rock and quickly ran to a bush, digging up the fallen leaves with her paws and happily digging into the soil.

The soft soil, with fresh traces of being turned over, was a sure sign that the keeper had hidden something delicious underneath!

Her paws moved like little motors, rapidly tossing the soil aside.

But as she dug, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

It shouldn't be buried too deep, so why couldn't she find it?

She frowned, sniffing the air carefully.

Staring blankly at the hole, her eyes gradually narrowed, emitting a sharp aura.

Panting heavily, she bared her teeth, revealing sharp canines, and was furious.

"Damn, they tricked me! Humans are cunning liars!"

Tang Bao followed the traces and scent, eventually stopping in front of a stone.

Tilting her head, she looked at the stone, then at the fallen leaves, seemingly puzzled by the clues.

"Hmm, did the keeper double back here? Which way did they go?"

The viewers watched the foxes search for food with great interest: "Haha, Xiao Qiao got tricked and is so angry!"

"Anyone want to bet on which fox will find the food first?"

"The head tilt is so cute!"

Fang Ye said, "Animals are very sensitive to their environment! From the scent of a pile of droppings, they can gather a lot of information. By looking at the traces on the grass, they can tell which direction an animal went.

Just like how ducks know when the spring water warms up and cicadas sense the autumn wind before it arrives, animals react to seasonal changes before we humans even notice.

In an unchanging environment, animals lose their keen sense of their surroundings, becoming indifferent to changes, or even fearful. Pet cats might get startled by a mouse.

These enrichments encourage animals to explore and master their environment, making them curious and confident, displaying a lively and active state.

Youyou used to be a very timid fox, scared of people and even pretending to be dead. Now, she's much braver."

"That's true! When I visited the zoo last time, I greeted Youyou, and she even barked at me."

"That's great!"

"Mi Laodi" gifted an airplane!

"Gongzi Ka Xiaoyao" gifted an airplane!

"Brewster" gifted 20 dumplings!

Prince was very sharp when it came to food.

Sniffing around, he quickly found a small box hidden in the bushes and dug it out.

Lowering his head, he sneakily looked around, took out the mouse, and hid it in a corner, burying it in the soil again.

While Prince was hiding the food, Youyou peeked out from behind a tree trunk, showing a sly expression as if she was secretly laughing.

"Hehe, I've noted this spot! I'll dig it up later!"

Tang Bao, sniffing carefully in the activity area, suddenly noticed a familiar figure behind the glass wall.

"Hey, isn't that the director?"

Excitedly, she rushed to the glass, wagging her tail and chirping, "Yingying!"

Fang Ye smiled and waved, then entered the activity area.

As soon as he entered, Tang Bao eagerly ran over.

She lay at Fang Ye's feet, her fluffy tail resting behind her.

She looked up with her bright, shiny eyes and let out a couple of coquettish "ying ying" sounds.

"You're here to visit me today! Play with me for a while!"

Fang Ye squatted down, hooked his palm under Tang Bao's chin, and gently scratched with his fingers. "So, how do you like the new environment? Are you happy living here?"

After scratching her chin, he then rubbed her cheeks, stroking the soft white fur on her face.

"Ying ying ying~ ying ying ying~"

Tang Bao happily let out a series of calls!

Her body flipped over, arching like a bridge, revealing her white belly. Her two paws curled up to her chest, and her big tail wagged joyfully, the white tip of her tail waving like a flag.

With autumn approaching, the foxes were starting to put on weight, making them even more pleasant to touch. Their fur was also softer and shinier than usual.

Tang Bao's fur was a golden yellow, like maple leaves. Under the sunlight, she exuded a lazy and beautiful aura.

Fang Ye scratched Tang Bao's belly, and she stretched out a paw to rest on his wrist!

Suddenly, she flipped over and sprang up excitedly, her light body making a "rustle" sound as she ran through the fallen leaves, darting behind Fang Ye.

When he turned to look for Tang Bao, she quickly ran to the side of a tree.

It seemed she was playing hide and seek.

"Tang Bao?"

Tang Bao poked her head out from behind the tree, called out "ying ying," then ran back to Fang Ye and lay down, pressing her cheek to the ground and letting out a long, coquettish sound.

"What a little clingy one! You love to act cute, don't you?"

Fang Ye laughed as he petted Tang Bao, stroking her from head to tail.

The viewers watching the fox's antics were also delighted.

"The 'ying ying' monster has appeared!"

"I love that big tail!"

"The cooing sound is just too sweet!"

"Transform! Quickly transform!"

"No wonder King Zhou fell for it, foxes are too good at acting cute!"

"At this moment, on the distant plateau, a Tibetan fox is calmly saying: 'What did you say?'"

"King Zhou: 'Nothing, I'm just focusing on governing the kingdom!'"

Prince also slowly walked over to Fang Ye and called out "ying ying" twice.

Director, do you have any food?

He lay down lazily and rolled over, his two paws paddling in the air as if swimming, trying to reach Fang Ye's hand.

But he only made a symbolic effort, not really trying hard!

Seeing that his paws couldn't reach Fang Ye's hand, he simply stopped.

Fang Ye looked at Prince and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my, how did a pig end up in our fox exhibit?"

Although all the foxes had gained some weight for the autumn, Prince's weight gain was particularly noticeable!

His body was round, like a wine bottle!

Fang Ye picked Prince up from under his armpits and showed him to the camera. "Oh my, everyone look! So chubby!"

Prince dangled in the air, the flesh on his face bunched up, making his usually sharp and charming fox face look rounder, even making his ears look shorter.

He looked less like a fox and more like a Samoyed.

His eyes squinted into slits, and his pink tongue stuck out of his mouth.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

"Meat-clad Daji!"

"Please don't dress a pig as a fox!"

"Even a fox's beauty can't withstand obesity! Time for some exercise!"

"Little foxes can't stand hearing that!"

"But honestly, the way he sticks his tongue out is pretty cute!"

Fang Ye said, "We've tried to help Prince lose weight, but it hasn't been very successful.

Prince has a couch potato personality and doesn't like to move! When the other foxes play, he joins for a bit then gets lazy, lying down to sleep, but he's always active when it comes to eating.

Providing animals with various enrichments and a wild-like environment is meant to encourage them to move more. It has had some effect; after some time, Prince did lose a bit of weight compared to the beginning, but recently, with autumn coming, he gained it all back."

As he spoke, he reached behind Prince's butt and lightly touched his tail. "Come on, bite me!"

Prince curled up, trying to bite Fang Ye.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach!

He was too fat, his belly wouldn't let him curl up, so he could only roll over.

Fang Ye moved his hand to the other side, and Prince rolled over again, his chubby body rolling on the fallen leaves.

The viewers couldn't stop laughing at Prince's clumsy antics!

"Hahaha, not very harmful, but highly insulting!"

"You can't even see his waist anymore."

"You can't bite, you can't bite!"

"He looks just like my fat cat at home, too lazy to move. But he's good for keeping your feet warm in winter!"

"Won't he bite your toes?"

"Just knock him out, and you'll be fine!"

While Fang Ye was teasing Prince, Prince suddenly seemed to remember something and looked towards where he had hidden his food earlier. He quickly got up!

Youyou was contentedly licking her lips, lying on the ground with her tail curled around her, looking very satisfied.

Prince's eyes widened, and he ran over.

He glanced suspiciously at Youyou and quickly started digging.

The hole he had dug earlier showed signs of being freshly turned!

He started to panic. Where's the mouse I just buried? I was planning to enjoy it this afternoon!

After digging for a bit and finding nothing, he ran over to Youyou!

He stared at Youyou, mouth open: "Ying~~~"

He let out a mournful and accusing cry, as if to say, "You stole my food!"

Youyou lifted her head, looking innocent: "Ying~~~"

"No, I was here the whole time! Why are you blaming me for losing your stuff?"

The two foxes started arguing in high-pitched voices. Tang Bao lay by Fang Ye's side, watching the commotion, while Xiao Qiao, having found a hidden mouse, ate while looking over in exasperation.

"Foxes arguing sounds like they're acting cute! So gentle."

"Yeah, I think Prince has a point! If handled that way, there wouldn't be any problems, Youyou was inconsiderate!"

"Indeed, it's too much. What Youyou did was unfair, and still expects Prince to accept it."

"Don't talk nonsense, Youyou is clearly more aggrieved! Think about it, if you were Youyou, could you accept what Prince said?"

The viewers pretended to analyze and comment.

After arguing for a while, Prince, seeing Youyou's innocent look, had no choice but to leave sadly.

Youyou tilted her head, scratching her ear with her hind leg, looking lazy and content!

"I saw you stealing earlier!"

Fang Ye walked over, picked up Youyou with a laugh, and tapped her nose.
