I have a wildlife zoo

"Haha, why do I get the feeling it's acting so goofily!"

"Ice Cake is really lively."

"Although it's big, it still has the heart of a youngster! Mischievous and playful."

"Jiaojiao is also willing to spoil it."

"It looks just like my pet cat at home, I really want to play with them!"

"Tigers are cats too! You just need a cloud-like glimpse though, don't be deceived by their cuteness, they're still fierce beasts. No one dares to play like this except the zookeeper, one slap from them and you'd be done for."

"Zookeeper, didn't you say last time that you were going to find a mate for Jiaojiao? Did you find one?"

Fang Ye gently stroked Jiaojiao's tail, "Considering Ice Cake is still quite young this year, we didn't bring in a mate, as Ice Cake would feel like a third wheel. Plus, with the current situation, it's not convenient for zoos to introduce new animals. Next year, Ice Cake and Jiaojiao can be separated."

It was the same with bringing in koalas, various applications were submitted, and personnel from Australian zoos and relevant organizations were preparing to visit for an exchange, and to inspect the qualifications of Linhai Zoo.

Just when it felt like a done deal, the pandemic caused another delay.

"Oh no~"

"Looks like we won't see Jiaojiao nursing little tiger cubs this year!"

The online audience felt somewhat disappointed.

Fang Ye laughed, "Even if there are no little tigers, we will have panda cubs soon! Our Zhuangzhuang and Cloud are ready to mate this year."

"Wow, I can't wait!"

"Panda cubs drinking milk from a bowl look the cutest!"

"But panda mating is tough, it really depends on luck!"

"Hey, I just remembered, isn't it said that making a wish to the pheasants in Pheasant Forest is very effective? Someone wished for EDG to win the championship, and they won that very night! Maybe the zookeeper could make a wish to the pheasants!"

"Pheasant Forest is right next to the panda exhibit, damn, and there's also the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram at the panda exhibit, could it be some kind of arrangement by the zookeeper to increase the breeding rate?"

Fang Ye, looking at the chatroom, couldn't help but retort, "You guys are getting more and more outrageous! There's no such bizarre arrangement."

"Awoo~~"

A deep and resonant wolf howl rose up, no doubt Charcoal was singing.

His voice was the most distinctive, a famous wolf tenor, the Pavarotti of the pack.

"Awoo~~"

"Owooo, awooo awooo awooo~~~"

When Charcoal's voice rang out, high and clear wolf howls followed, and then responses came from another direction, and then from a third, as many wolves joined in the chorus.

The wolf exhibit was next to the tiger exhibit, and the howls carried well, plus with no visitors' noise, they could be distinctly heard in the tiger exhibit.

If one only heard the sounds, they would believe it was a huge pack of wolves.

In reality, there were only about a dozen wolves, but each wolf had its unique pitch, creating a choir-like effect that made it seem as if many wolves were responding to each other from all around, hidden in the forest corners, encircling the area.

Jiaojiao and Ice Cake immediately pricked up their ears, used to their neighbors singing every day, and listened quietly.

Fang Ye stood up, "Huh, the wolves are doing a group sing, let's go check it out."

In the zoo, the wolf pack usually sings together first thing in the morning as they start their activities, and with the temperature dropping and artificial snow added to their area, they've been more excited than usual, having an additional sing in the afternoons.

Wolf Exhibit!

There were Charcoal and Mizzle sitting on a high spot on the slope, heads raised, singing loudly.

And there were two other wolves lying close beside them, seriously joining in the howling!

However, not all wolves were singing earnestly.

Charcoal's child, Little Black, lay on the grass with limbs spread out, eyes closed, looking completely exhausted as if engaging in some sort of draining overnight cultivation.

After playing madly for a while, he now lacked the energy to sing, mouth open, emitting sounds that were short of breath.

"Owooo~~"

```

Ran out of breath calling like that, her voice became even smaller, just like a mosquito humming.

Little Black Wolf grinned, her ears twitched in place of her mouth.

She probably thought, as long as I open my mouth, it counts as singing!

"This calling is too perfunctory! She even closed her eyes."

"Hahaha, it's exactly like me struggling to stay awake during morning reading."

"I'm laughing so hard I could punch a wall!"

"This is passive resistance at work. So slackers can be found in every department!"

"Did its mother even teach it how to sing?"

Little Black Wolf lay on the ground, silent for a while, her eyes slightly opened, staring blankly ahead.

She might have felt she was too much of a salted fish and, after an internal struggle, took a deep breath, her belly slightly bulging.

"Wuu~~ aow wuu~~"

She continued to howl with a faint voice.

With this volume, she could leisurely howl for half the day on one breath.

Little Black Wolf seemed to have become quite experienced in slacking.

Suddenly, her ears twitched and she jerked her head up, looking behind her!

It was like dozing off during morning reading and then realizing the teacher was standing right behind you!

No other wolf saw me slacking, right?

She looked left and right, saw that no other wolves were paying attention to her, and breathed a sigh of relief, yawning.

She turned over, lay back on the grass, closed her eyes, and returned to a salted fish's lazy posture.

The netizens watching Little Black Wolf's perfunctory part in the chorus nearly died laughing!

After the song was over, Little Black Wolf no longer had to pretend. The other wolves also started to do their own things.

Yarn Ball chased Little Cabbage around, jumping up and down, wagging his tail, lively like a pup.

Fang Ye saw this and chuckled, "It's the mating season for the pack these couple of months! Looks like Yarn Ball is courting Little Cabbage."

Zoo breeding is planned, especially for animals like lions and wolves that can have several offspring at a time. If breeding isn't controlled, as the number of animals increases, there won't be enough space for them, which can lead to more conflict and lower animal welfare.

Last year, when the wolves were in heat, Little Cabbage was placed in an isolated area.

But the system's lucky draw awarded a contraceptive pill without side effects effective for a year, so this year Little Cabbage was given the pill, allowing them to freely fall in love.

Yarn Ball wagged his tail, lowered his upper body, and tried to jump onto Little Cabbage's back!

Little Cabbage, however, sat there looking aloof, making herself impregnable.

Females are hard to win over; only a few males succeed in their courtship.

Black Back also came running over at this point, baring his teeth at Yarn Ball.

A beauty only deserves the strongest, if you want to chase Little Cabbage, you have to see if I, Black Back, agree!

You silly wolf, Little Cabbage will never fancy you!

While the two males were tangled up, Little Cabbage slipped away swiftly.

But soon, Doudou also ran over, vigorously wagging his tail at Little Cabbage, his fawning manner blatantly obvious.

Little Cabbage is now the most popular young one in the wolf exhibit.

As for Mizzle, with Charcoal fiercely watching over her, any other lecherous wolf daring to bother her was chased off.

After enjoying a glimpse of the wolves' love and hatred, Fang Ye checked the time, "We've streamed long enough for today, let's wrap up here! I'll continue streaming for you all tomorrow."

He waved to the camera with a smile.

"Goodbye, Director!"
