I have a wildlife zoo

By the time they left the red panda exhibit, it was almost noon.

The little girls first called their parents, sent a few photos back, reported their safety, and then had lunch.

Qian Keke took out a sandwich from her shark backpack, and Tang Xiaoxin took a hamburger from her bear backpack, sitting on the long bench at the entrance plaza. They delightedly ate while admiring the graceful gait of peafowls strolling on the lawn.

Qian Keke swung her little feet and exclaimed, "The zoo is such a wonderful place!"

"Mhm!" Tang Xiaoxin nodded in agreement, took a bite of her hamburger and said vaguely, "Mmph mmph, it\'s just that there\'s no place to eat, I need to suggest to Brother Fang Ye to open a restaurant inside the zoo."

After they finished their sandwiches, they tidied up the trash and continued strolling around the zoo.

Several red foxes had already gained fans, and today a few visitors came specifically to see them, clicking away with their cameras.

Xiaoqiao, perched on a large rock, just glanced at the silly humans and immediately fans cheered, "Xiaoqiao, Xiaoqiao!"

Then they were reminded by the animal keeper not to be too loud.

Jiaojiao was napping in her enclosure, the macaques were swinging on the rope bridges...

After a round of visiting, they arrived at the little farm.

The back barns of the little farm were completely farm-style, with triangular roofs fitted with transparent acrylic panels, and sturdy wooden fences dividing it into sections, the ground covered with a layer of dry yellow hay.

Tang Xiaoxin instructed Qian Keke, "There\'s a very unique alpaca in here! Its name is Brother Aotian, it hates being photographed the most, and gets unhappy if someone takes a photo, it may spit. And alpaca spit is really stinky!"

Qian Keke started to worry, "Eh? What does Brother Aotian look like?"

"Well... it also has a very distinctive appearance, anyway, you\'ll definitely recognize it when you see it."

As they spoke, they entered the barn, where tourists were petting alpacas and taking photos with them.

Seeing the little girls enter, a brown alpaca in the adjacent pen turned its head. Its hair was thick on the head, like wearing a sturdy felt hat, and its big eyes beamed with a gentle disposition.

Today Lan Li was also at the little farm. Lan Li still remembered her, and with a smile, greeted, "Hi, little sister, hello~"

"Hello, sister!" Tang Xiaoxin greeted politely and introduced to Qian Keke, "She once took care of the White Tiger."

Lan Li warmly smiled and gave each of them half a corn cob, "Go feed the alpacas, be careful. Most of our alpacas are quite docile; you can touch them and even take a picture with them if they seem in a good mood, but if they resist, then let it be. Don\'t get too close to the alpacas outside, though."

"Where is Brother Aotian?" Tang Xiaoxin curiously asked.

"Brother Aotian is out on the grass," Lan Li pointed towards the wooden door at the end of the barn, "As long as you don\'t provoke it, Brother Aotian is actually very docile. We also have an animal keeper nearby to remind you."

"Oh!"

Last time Tang Xiaoxin visited the alpacas, she was startled by Brother Aotian and soon ran away in a panic, but this time she enjoyed her chance to look at them properly.

Seeing the felt-hat alpaca still watching her, Tang Xiaoxin took the initiative to walk over to it, "Let\'s go feed it."

Qian Keke was a bit nervous, hesitating to follow as this was her first time getting so close to such a large animal, "Xiaoxin, what if it bites us?"

Tang Xiaoxin took Qian Keke\'s hand and comforted her, "It\'s okay, didn\'t sister say that the alpacas here are quite docile? And there\'s a fence between us, too."

Seeing the little girls approach, the felt-hat alpaca gently bent its neck, poking its head through the narrow gap above the fence, its elongated spindle-shaped ears moved, and it sniffed by their faces. Tang Xiaoxin also took the opportunity to touch its head; the alpaca didn\'t show any signs of resistance and let her pet it calmly.

The alpaca then noticed the corn in her hand and immediately showed great interest, stretching its neck even lower. Tang Xiaoxin hurriedly lifted the corn cob a bit so it didn\'t have to lower its head so much, making it more convenient for the animal to eat.

"Keke, look how funny it eats!" Tang Xiaoxin said happily.

Chewing its food, the alpaca moved its thick lips in all directions, not just up and down, but also side to side, as if it were savoring some exquisite delicacy. It looked so appetizing.

Qian Keke was no longer nervous and began to laugh, "Really, it looks so funny and amusing!"

After finishing the corn in Tang Xiaoxin\'s hand, the alpaca turned its head toward Qian Keke, clearly wanting more. Qian Keke handed over her corn and took the opportunity to stroke the alpaca\'s neck.

Once the alpaca had finished that cob, it turned its head and seemed to peer behind the little girls: Is there any more? Is there any more?

"No more, no more!"

Both girls opened their hands to show they truly didn\'t have any more corn.

So the alpaca pulled its head back through the fence gap and leisurely continued nibbling on the dry hay.

The pair walked through the shed and arrived at the alpaca activity area behind it.

The area was divided into sandy and grassy sections, with no fancy flowers or shrubs in the grassy area, just a neat and tidy expanse of tender green lawn. Adjacent was a small area paved with fine dry sand.

As soon as they entered, the little girls spotted a very good-looking white alpaca. Its lips and nose were a light pink, topped with white fleece, bright eyes, and long eyelashes.

"Wow, so pretty!"

"I remember it, it was the one that spat at Brother Aotian last time!"

Just as they thought of approaching, Meng Shi smiled kindly at them, "Kids, don\'t get too close, Zhenzhen is about to take a sand bath!"

That\'s right, Meng Shi was mainly responsible for taking care of the alpacas and transporting grass. Although he hoped to become a tiger keeper, newcomers couldn\'t start with such fierce animals. He had to begin with the gentle alpacas, suitable for beginners.

Fang Ye had taken him to feed Jiaojiao once, but Jiaojiao didn\'t seem to like him much and even growled at him.

Hmm?

The two little girls glanced at Meng Shi. Qian Keke tightly gripped Tang Xiaoxin\'s hand, a bit scared, while Tang Xiaoxin nervously held onto her skirt, not daring to look directly at him.

Meng Shi gave them a smile that was awkward yet polite, screaming inwardly: ... Ahhh! I\'m really harmless!

Zhenzhen bowed her head, seemingly choosing the right spot, then knelt down on her front limbs, bending her hind legs to kneel as well.

The entire alpaca lay down in the dry sandy soil and suddenly jerked its legs, wagging its short tail and kicking up a cloud of dust.

With wild, dishevelled hair resembling a bird\'s nest and one eye covered by stray locks, Brother Aotian arrived on the scene.

He gave Zhenzhen a disdainful glance and lay down next to her, not to be outdone, vigorously shaking his body and raising even more dust!

╃É moth is the dance king here!

Several visitors became curious and gathered around to watch.

"What are they doing, a dance battle?"

"Village dance-off, with their own concrete mix?"

Meng Shi explained to the crowd, "Actually, alpacas are taking a bath. Many animals have the habit of dust or sand bathing, primarily to remove dirt and parasites from their bodies, and of course, it\'s also a way to play. Alpacas really enjoy rolling in hot sand under the sun."

"So that\'s what it is." The onlookers suddenly understood.
