I have a wildlife zoo

After watching the red panda, we came to the tiger exhibit.

Jiaojiao and Ice Cake were lying on the grass, quietly basking in the sun!

Snow had been made in the tiger exhibit before, and the two tigers had a great time playing, but no snow had been replenished in the past few days and the snow on the ground was beginning to melt, leaving only some remnants.

Having snow every day would lose its novelty, and enrichment is most important for variation.

Jiaojiao tilted her head towards the moat as if looking outside, but her expression was dull.

Her mouth was open, and she looked absent-minded.

She thought to herself, what's been going on recently, why can't I see any visitors?

Not seeing visitors was a bit out of the ordinary, and even though she was spending every day in a daze lying here, it didn't really affect her mood.

After all, tigers are naturally suited to solitary living.

She could lie leisurely on the grass every day, enjoying the sunshine and the breeze; life was pretty comfortable.

Ice Cake lay behind Jiaojiao's buttocks, looking lazy.

It seemed he had been lying down too long and was getting bored, so he stood up and walked a few steps.

One paw stepped over Jiaojiao's belly, and he lowered his head, rubbing his cheek affectionately against hers, while his other paw wrapped around her neck.

Jiaojiao snapped back to reality, raised her head, and playfully bit Ice Cake's cheek!

Ice Cake just sat on top of Jiaojiao nonchalantly, his paw scrambling on her head, then he stuck out his tongue and licked Jiaojiao's head.

Even though Ice Cake was just a one-and-a-half-year-old baby, he had already grown quite big, his paw able to cover Jiaojiao's forehead.

He didn't look much different in size from her, but upon closer inspection, Ice Cake was still slightly smaller.

Moreover, Ice Cake was robust and straightforward, while Jiaojiao seemed more delicate and pretty.

Having grown so much, Ice Cake was still as fond of cuddling with Jiaojiao as when he was little.

Licking fervently on top of Jiaojiao's head, "I'm helping you groom!"

Grooming is one of the ways fur-bearing animals strengthen bonds the most.

Licking and licking, he gently held Jiaojiao's ear in his mouth with a 'aww'.

Now, Ice Cake knew how to be gentle when playing, and though he was light, the ears were still quite fragile and sensitive. Jiaojiao shook her head gently to get her ear out, but Ice Cake persisted and bit again.

Jiaojiao lay on the ground, her eyes seeming somewhat helpless.

Sigh, if you want to bite, then bite.

Now, they didn't seem like mother and child, but more like siblings.

"Mom, Ice Cake has grown so big, his paw is bigger than my face!"

"He's not even an adult yet, feels like he's close to 200 pounds already!"

"Haha, that's the weighty love from Ice Cake! He's completely squashing Jiaojiao."

"He's still a size smaller compared to Jiaojiao, but at this rate, give it a year or a year and a half and he might surpass her!"

"Holding onto the ear, so cute!"

"It's just like me and my little sister! My sis loves to be clingy and bothersome. But you just have to dote on your own sister, right?"

"Look at Jiaojiao's helpless gaze!"

"Jiaojiao says, 'Do you see me trying to deal with you?'"

"I also like to play with cat ears, QQ bounce, they look so satisfying to 'rua'!"

"Jiaojiao and Ice Cake have always had a great relationship! Jiaojiao really dotes on Ice Cake."

When Fang Ye first started streaming, Ice Cake hadn't even opened his eyes, sucking on his milk bottle so blissfully.

Later, someone even made a compilation of Ice Cake's clips, creating an album to record every bit of his growth.

Witnessing Ice Cake grow bit by bit, from an adorable little cub into a stout and hearty big tiger, made it feel like watching a child grow up.

Seeing the affectionate and cute interaction between Ice Cake and Jiaojiao, I couldn't help but smile.

Ice Cake held onto Jiaojiao's ear for a while, but she shook her head and pulled it out, then he continued to groom her.

His grooming was not very earnest and didn't follow the direction of the fur. It was akin to someone messily tousling another's hair, not only failing to smooth it down but instead making it stand on end.

Rather than proper grooming, it was more like he was playing with Jiaojiao's fur!

Jiaojiao was a bit annoyed and turned her head, opening her mouth as if she was going to bite, ready to give it a little scare.

Get down, stop licking!

Ice Cake looked up and dodged away, with eyelids drooping, completely unconcerned.

As soon as Jiaojiao turned her head back, Ice Cake sneakily licked her once more.

Jiaojiao turned around and glared at Ice Cake, looking very fierce.

Ice Cake shrank its head subconsciously when glared at, dodging Jiaojiao's gaze.

Could it be that Mama is really angry?

Jiaojiao felt helpless inside, her child was just too mischievous, now grown so big, she couldn't begin to scold it.

She couldn't bear to actually punish Ice Cake.

All of a sudden, she saw Fang Ye outside, her tiger eyes wide and mouth agape.

Ice Cake noticed Jiaojiao had stopped moving and also looked outside.

The two tigers stared blankly at Fang Ye.

Nowadays, they hardly saw anyone all day, and it left them a bit dazed!

Fang Ye rested his arms on the railing, smiling warmly as he looked inside, waving and greeting, "Hi, came to see you guys."

It really was the zookeeper!

When Ice Cake stood up, it accidentally stepped on Jiaojiao's stomach, prompting a silent bite from Jiaojiao on Ice Cake's tail.

Hey, watch it a bit!

However, this little annoyance was quickly washed away by the joy of seeing Fang Ye.

Approaching Fang Ye, they lay down on the grass, curling their paws and revealing their soft, white bellies.

This pose was clearly an invitation for Fang Ye to join in the fun.

Fang Ye chuckled, "I'll be over in a bit, haha!"

Entering the tiger exhibit from the back, Jiaojiao was already there waiting.

Upon seeing Fang Ye come out, she eagerly trotted over.

She rubbed her cheek against Fang Ye's palm and her tail tip flicked, carefully Sniffing the familiar and comforting scent.

Fang Ye crouched down and hugged Jiaojiao's head, vigorously rubbing it as he laughed, "Hey hey, did you miss me?"

Jiaojiao's head was rubbed, her nose "purrling" as she exhaled, looking very happy.

Ice Cake watched from the side, looking a bit puzzled.

Just now when I licked your fur not quite right you growled at me, the zookeeper is rubbing you all over and you don't growl at him?

If Fang Ye knew what Ice Cake was thinking, he would've surely smiled gently.

I'm sorry, but the Archdruid with the Heart of Nature can do whatever he wants!

After Fang Ye's arrival, Jiaojiao and Ice Cake's spirits were much livelier.

After some petting, they didn't continue lying down to bask in the sun, but started frolicking beside him instead.

Ice Cake hid behind Fang Ye, peeking out from under his arm.

Your little cutie is making a surprise appearance!

A paw stretched out and, while Jiaojiao wasn't looking, it patted her cheek.

When Jiaojiao turned to look, Ice Cake blinked, rolled over and lay flat on the ground.

I've fallen down, I need kisses and cuddles to get up!

Seeing Jiaojiao ignore it, Ice Cake shook its head and flapped its soft, floppy ears.

Mama, give me a hand here.

Jiaojiao stared at it, thinking you've got to be kidding, right?

Reluctantly, she extended a paw and touched Ice Cake's cheek, upon which Ice Cake immediately flipped over and scrambled up, dashing to the other side of Fang Ye.

Incredibly mischievous.
