I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 126 Director, why are you still keeping a gas cylinder?

Apart from Little Cabbage and Doudou, the rest of the wolves approached for interaction. Although they didn't display any particularly obvious submissive gestures, they were generally amicable and no hot-blooded youngster jumped out to provoke a challenge.

Fang Ye let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The integration has been quite smooth, with no intense fights breaking out, so it seems I won't need to step in to mediate! After a period of adjustment, they should be able to get along. We can slowly deal with any issues as they arise."

"Joyful Kelly" tipped a plane!

"Joyful Kelly": "I didn't expect the lives of wolves to be so interesting, I hope they get along well in the future. I can't take it anymore, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to bed first."

"I'm off to bed too, if I keep this up I'm going to drop dead, goodnight guys."

"Yeah goodnight, what time do you think it is in the morning, classic gibberish from Hu Yan."

The night owls couldn't stay up and went to bed one after another, but as more people woke up, the popularity of the live stream gradually increased.

"Yo, good morning, Director, you're up early today." Continue reading stories on M V L

"Bro, actually I'm late. Just now, the wolves originally in the zoo and the new ones were integrating, probing and standing off, it was really interesting."

"Damn, is there a replay? I'll go check it out later."

"Someone recorded it, you should be able to find it later." Seeing that the zoo had not yet opened and there was still time, Fang Ye planned to stream a bit longer and asked, "Guys, what else do you want to see?"

Viewers suggested, "How about checking on Jiaojiao?"

Fang Ye shook his head, "At this time, Jiaojiao is probably still sleeping in, let's not disturb her. I'll take you guys to see the new raccoon in our zoo instead."

"Huh, a raccoon?"

"Let me see, is there anyone who says a raccoon is the same as a red panda?"

"Haha, surely not! Raccoons with their shifty eyes, they are sneaky as they come, while red pandas are so cute and adorable!"

"I saw a video where a raccoon stole cat food. Right under the cat's nose, it stood up on two legs holding the food and ran away; it was indeed quite thievish and hilarious to watch."

At first, viewers would easily mix up raccoons with red pandas, mainly because they didn't have the concept down.

However, after watching Fang Ye's live stream for so long, they now knew what red pandas looked like, and with the significant differences in appearance between the two, they naturally wouldn't get them confused again.

Fang Ye said with a smile, "Everyone here now should be regular fans. It really wouldn't be right to mix them up again. If anyone makes a mistake, I'll punish you by inviting you to our zoo to play around ten times!

Sleazy it may not be, but actually quite adorable, you'll know when you see."

Upon arriving at the raccoon enclosure, which was still before the opening time of the zoo, the raccoons were all staying in the back shelter. Animal keeper Nie was preparing their food, weighing a few bananas on an electronic scale, peeling them and throwing the skins into the trash, then slicing them up on a square metal tray already filled with various items.

"Preparing the feed?"

Seeing Fang Ye checking in, Nie quickly greeted, "Good morning, Director, Sister Lan good!"

Curious, a viewer asked, "Director, what are the raccoons eating?"

Fang Ye chuckled, picked up the tray, aimed the camera, and introduced each item to the viewers, "Apples, bananas, carrots, chicken, biscuits, how about that, quite a feast, right?"

"Damn, the burrito in my hand suddenly doesn't taste so good anymore!"

"This breakfast is much better than what I eat!"

"Let's go feed them now!" Fang Ye picked up two iron plates and went to the back shed. Hearing the noise, the raccoons all hid away, scurrying into corners or inside boxes, peeking out with curiosity.

When they saw it was Fang Ye approaching with the iron plates, they all emerged from their hiding spots.

Online viewers' eyes widened, "My goodness!"

These raccoons looked quite different from what they had imagined.

In their minds, raccoons were supposed to be sneaky creatures!

Their faces, encircled with black fur, resembled the masks of thieves or bandits, their bodies thin and their eyes shifty. At the slightest rustle, they'd scuttle up walls and disappear in a whiz.

But these raccoons were quite plump; some sat on the ground like round, rolling balls, and the fattest one resembled a well-grown, oval watermelon, or perhaps a gas cylinder, their figures very full indeed!

Their tails were short, roughly only a dozen centimeters. If they stood up, the tip of the tail would barely touch the ground, completely different from the red panda's fluffy long tail.

What kind of bandit or thief was this fat? If these guys tried to rob a bank, it'd be questionable if they could even squeeze out of a van's door.

Their heads remained small, with faces somewhat resembling the red panda's steamed-bun cheeks, though not as round. Their noses were pointed, and their black eyes gleamed with a bright sparkle, revealing a hint of cleverness and agility. They looked quite adorable.

"Goodness gracious, I must say, look at how thin the children have become!"

"Excuse me, what is this new species? I've never seen it before."

"Boss, aren't you running a zoo? How come you're keeping gas cylinders?"

"Hahahaha, gas cylinders killed me, but I have to admit, with the round bodies and black fur, they really do look like gas cylinders!"

"So cute! They look so funny; they don't seem sneaky at all."

"Indeed quite cute, but why are they so fat!"

Fang Ye explained, "Raccoons are one of nature's most famous omnivores. Their diet includes shellfish on the beaches, fish and crayfish in the rivers, nuts and berries in the forests, lizards and frogs in the bushes, small birds and bird eggs in the trees—they eat pretty much anything.

Because they're not picky eaters, they tend to get fat easily under captive conditions with abundant food, especially with likely many visitors feeding them in the past.

If visitor feeding stopped and their food intake was controlled, they gradually would slim down. A bit overweight is not an issue, but this one, looking like a watermelon, is clearly a bit too fat!"

At this moment, seeing Fang Ye carrying the iron plates, the raccoons knew it was time to be fed and began to sit up.

The moment they sat down, the flesh on their bellies sagged downward, tapering from top to bottom, truly resembling a pear in shape.

Some raccoons, expectant, rubbed their hands together non-stop, their soft, flexible paws moving like migrating fish, rubbing all the way to their black noses, while others stretched out their hands, shaking them up and down as if holding a bowl and begging, their eyes pitiful.

And there were those who opened their hands wide, throwing their chests forward as if to say, "Come on, throw all the food here to me!"

"So cute, I want to feed them too."

But there were also viewers who puzzledly asked, "Hold on, is this begging behavior?"

Fang Ye set the two plates on the ground, and the raccoons immediately crowded around the food. They rolled their paws in the plates, washing them like doing laundry, and some while rubbing looked up at Fang Ye, their eyes lively and alert.
