I have a wildlife zoo

Liu Xueqing felt that visiting the zoo today was much more interesting than going to the park before! Yingying preferred playing with toys and watching cartoons at home over going to the park, and had to be coaxed and persuaded to go. Once there, it wasn\'t half a day before she\'d start fussing to go home.

This time she was so eager and active about coming, and after playing for half the day, she still looked enthusiastic.

Opening the lunch box, Yingying immediately took a bright red cherry tomato and put it in her mouth, munching away. The sweet and sour taste washed over her taste buds with an expression of slight consternation.

After Yingying ate two, Liu Xueqing smiled with a tender "Ah~" and opened her mouth. Yingying glanced at her and immediately understood, picking up a tomato, lifting it, and placing it into her mother\'s mouth, very obediently.

"Mmm! Delicious, thank you daughter!"

At the other end of the bench, a young mother supporting a stroller couldn\'t help but feel a bit envious. When would her baby grow up and feed her something?

Liu Xueqing picked up a drumstick, "Here, have a drumstick~"

Yingying, with her babyish voice, earnestly said, "If I can\'t finish, give it to Daddy!"

"Alright!"

The lunch box, with its specially made chicken soup seasoning and meticulously paired vegetables, tasted really good indeed. Yingying, clutching a small spoon, scooped up a pointy spoonful and shoved it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out and eyes squinting joyfully as she mumbled indistinctly, "Mama\'s lunch box is tasty~"

The lunch box was quickly finished!

Then they ate an apple, sitting comfortably and relaxing as they digested their meal, before the family continued their tour.

The red-faced, yellow-furred macaques leaped nimbly between Monkey Mountain and the rope bridges, the shaking ropes having no effect on them. One macaque moved forward with alternating hands, and in a moment went from one end to the other and slid swiftly down the perch.

Visitors exclaimed from time to time: "Wow, that\'s a far jump!"

"It leapt up so quickly, I didn\'t even see clearly!"

"How does it stand so steadily up there? It\'s even scratching its butt, holy shit, it didn\'t fall... it didn\'t fall off, is it really that simple?"

"No doubt monkeys are natural climbers, they have such strong arm strength. I get tired from just one pull-up on the horizontal bar, and after two my arms are so sore!"

"What, you can still do pull-ups? I can\'t do even one now... Middle school was really the peak time for physical strength, back then I could do more than a dozen in a row!"

Halfway up Monkey Mountain, one macaque was grooming another. The one in front lay down motionless, while the one behind acted like a dedicated hairstylist from a salon, meticulously combing the other\'s fur from back to leg, then bending down to check.

The macaque in front turned its head as if asking, "How\'s that, all done?"

"Not yet, still one side to go!" Continue your saga on m|v-l\'e -NovelBin.net

So the macaque in front obediently bowed its head again, allowing hairstylist Tony to carefully comb through the fur on the other side.

Grooming is a very important social activity amongst monkeys!

Since the introduction of the perches and rope bridges, the macaques found a place to play happily and expend energy, resulting in fewer disputes and more social behavior.

"I thought all monkeys had long tails, but why do these monkeys have such short tails?"

"Eh, now that you mention it, indeed!"

"Look at this display panel," it says here that the macaque genus includes 22 species, with some macaques having slightly longer tails than their bodies and others having no tails. These macaques are rhesus macaques, also known as common macaques, with a wide distribution range. They are named after the original specimens were collected on the banks of the Ganges in Bangladesh.

They are a national second-class protected animal."

"Learned something new today!"

Yingying\'s father spotted something fresh, "Look, is that macaque\'s belly hanging with a little monkey?"

Liu Xueqing looked carefully and indeed it was!

"Wow, this little monkey is so impressive," she exclaimed in amazement. "Just clinging to its mother\'s belly like that without fear of falling."

In the wild, macaques climb and leap through trees and mountain streams with their babies, but don\'t have extra arms to hold their children, so they rely on the little ones to firmly grasp their mother\'s fur. Not just macaques, many monkeys and apes do the same.

When the mother macaque stopped walking and crouched to observe her surroundings, the little macaque slipped out from her embrace and scampered off to the side to pick up pebbles and play with them on the ground.

After watching the macaques for a while, they headed over to the tiger enclosure.

"Click, click, click!"

The visitors kept snapping photos, their eyes filled with surprise, curiosity, and excitement!

The tiger was also displaying social behavior at that time!

...But how was Jiaojiao, the only tiger in the enclosure, displaying social behavior?

Of course, it was because Fang Ye was also in the enclosure, squatting next to Jiaojiao with a smile, massaging her big head with his hands.

They had sprayed water inside the enclosure at noon, which had cooled down the temperature a bit. Jiaojiao lay sprawled on the cement, lazing in the sun.

Her forelimbs stretched forward, her chin resting on a tiger paw as large as a human head, her scalp being massaged and stretched by Fang Ye\'s hands as if she was enjoying a spa, squinting her eyes in pleasure.

Suddenly, she shook her head and let out a muffled roar from her throat, like a powerful engine starting up, startling the visitors! Some of the more timid ones screamed, retreating a few steps, and some even covered their eyes, too scared to look!

Fang Ye spread his hands, smiling relaxedly, "Everyone, no need to be nervous! Jiaojiao is just saying that my massage is too light and that she wants a little more strength! Jiaojiao is a gentle and good girl, right?"

He rubbed Jiaojiao\'s fuzzy face, and she turned her head to look at him, opening her eyes. Her amber eyes were indeed very gentle, and she roared again like a distant thunder.

Fang Ye then bowed his head and leaned in, and Jiaojiao brought her face closer too, a human and a tiger sharing an affectionate nuzzle. Jiaojiao squinted her eyes again and leaned her body towards him, unmistakably expressing trust and affection.

"Oh my Lord!"

"I\'m at a loss for words!"

"The zoo director is awesome! The zoo director is awesome!"

"Look at its eyes, they really seem so soulful!"

"My heart is moved; I kind of want to nuzzle with the tiger too, what should I do?"

"Don\'t go! If you go, you\'ll be just a piece of meat!"

Liu Xueqing\'s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling as if her heart was about to burst out, she whispered softly, "Isn\'t that scary? Can a tiger be so affectionate with people? Won\'t it suddenly bite someone\'s head off?"

Yingying\'s father maintained his composure all the while, but now he too was showing an unusual expression of astonishment, shaking his head: "I don\'t know!"

Only Yingying, without the concept of a "fierce tiger," recovered from the initial fright of the tiger\'s roar, and happily tugged at Liu Xueqing\'s hand, "Mama, the tiger is so mighty! Can I pet the tiger?"

Liu Xueqing held her with a smile tinged with helplessness, "Oh dear, baby, please spare your mom!"

Lan Li stood outside the enclosure surrounded by many excited visitors, bombarding her with questions like "Why doesn\'t the tiger eat people?"

She was a bit nervous, being encircled by the crowd, and stuttered proudly, "Our, our director is really amazing. All animals like him and want to be close to him! And Jiaojiao is also very gentle in nature."

She then said earnestly, "Don\'t think that just because the director is affectionate with the tiger, this behavior is recommended for everyone. If you ever encounter a tiger in the wild, it\'s best to stay far away. If you\'re thinking about approaching to pet it, you might want to leave a will."

The tourists looked incredulous: "Thanks for the advice! That\'s really helpful!"

Any normal person seeing a tiger in the wild would definitely have their mind blown with fear. Who would be so foolhardy as to think of petting it? It\'s like a death wish, isn\'t it?
