I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 632 - 631: The Unhappy Xiao Xiaoneng

Passing through the bamboo grove, they arrived at the red panda exhibit and first visited Red Bean in the back.

After disinfecting, Fang Ye entered Red Bean's birthing room and gently called out, "Red Bean? I'm here~"

Red Bean was lying in a corner of the nesting box, belly up, with her two short legs stretched out, as she turned her head to lick her fur.

At the sound of the voice, she startled at first, then sat up straight, her ears perked up in a wary listen.

Next, she poked her head out of the entrance of the nesting box, peeking curiously at the outside.

Realizing the visitor was the familiar zookeeper, she relaxed a lot, her bright eyes fixed on him. She glanced at Lan Li filming beside him, stuck out her tongue, and retreated her head back into the box.

Approaching the nest box, Lan Li began filming the interior.

Inside, a cub lay on its back with eyes closed and mouth pursed, its chubby body forming a cute curve. It held up its small arms and lifted its tiny legs as though stretching.

The fur on its belly was somewhat sparser compared to its back, revealing the soft, pink skin underneath.

The chubby little paws stretched out eagerly, then retracted, as if still treading milk in its dreams!

The other cub had a more orderly sleeping posture, its chin resting on the dried grass and bamboo leaves in the nest box. With paws tucked underneath, the yet-to-stretch-out plump and round body resembled a little grey and white fluffy hedgehog.

Fast asleep, it still stuck out its tongue and smacked its mouth, head bobbing slightly.

This cub was quite amusing to look at, with white eyebrows drawn tightly inward in a slight curve, squished closely together.

Its mouth turned downwards, a frown plainly written across its face, giving it a distinctive air.

It resembled Chestnut's eyebrows, whose white brows were thick and crowded towards the center as if in deep thought.

Red Bean's, on the other hand, were round and parted to the sides, imparting a sense of innocent wistfulness.

Red Bean glanced outside, then bent down to lick the fur of this cub.

The cub, feeling its mother grooming it, cooperatively lifted its head, eyes still shut.

"Launch Critical Hit! Awei is dead!"

"So cute, like a little piggy!"

"It's really tiny!"

"Cuteness overload with baby and mother! Both the mom and child are adorable. Double the cuteness!"

"Wow, I really want to give it a kiss!"

"Ha ha, so young and already has white eyebrows!"

"Little one without ears!"

The netizens chatted excitedly.

It wasn't that it didn't have ears; the triangular ears weren't easily seen from the front, hidden by the fluffy fur, with a tuft of white fur where the ears were.

Smiling at Red Bean, Fang Ye said, "Red Bean, may I see your child?"

He reached out and gently lifted the cub from underneath its belly.

Holding the soft fur at the back of its neck, he showcased it to the camera.

The cub, picked up, furrowed its brow, a disgruntled expression on its face.

But its eyes remained closed.

The two legs came together, its tail still in a drill shape, tapering upward to a pointed tip, curved and raised.

Its paws spread, waving up and down, as if protesting.

╯^╰

Hmph, let me go!

"Ha ha ha, caught by the scruff of fate!"

"Those tiny paws don't know where to go!"

"Let go of me, let go of me now! Do I look like I'm enjoying this?"

"This cub's expression is so funny, why does it look so pitifully aggrieved?"

"Hey, be gentle, be gentle!"

In fact, Fang Ye's movements were still very gentle.

He pinched the cub's paws and showed the netizens its tender pink palms and slender nails.

"Ying! Ying!"

At that moment, the red panda cub let out a sharp cry, as if calling for its mother.

"Huh, it's so tiny, yet its voice is so loud!"

Fang Ye laughed and said, "Red panda cubs are only about 100 grams at birth, but they make sounds that animals eight times their size would make. This way, their mothers won't lose them!"

Someone else asked, "Director, when will the cub turn the same color as Mama?"

After thinking for a bit, Fang Ye said, "Hmm, to start showing color, about a month or so? At one month, some of their fur turns light yellow already. To look almost like Mama, it might take up to three months, but the color will still be much lighter."

He then put the cub back into the nest box.

After being returned to the nest, another cub crawled over following Red Bean's scent.

Its cheek rubbed against the familiar warmth of Mama's fur, seeming to feel very secure, and it lay down to continue snoozing away.

Seeing the cub returned, Red Bean also snuggled against the side of the nest box and lay down.

Lying in the same position as the curled-up cub, facing upward with arms and legs stretched out, it looked very amusing.

Red Bean lazily stretched its body, yawned with its mouth wide open, and flipped its upper foot; the cub, as though telepathically connected to Mama, also lifted its foot!

The synchronicity was a hundred percent.

"Aaah, it's explosion of cuteness!"

"I can't decide whether to watch Mama or the baby!"

"Manly tears are drooling here!"

Fang Ye couldn't help but laugh and gently stroked Red Bean's belly, "You're doing great as a mother! Taking good care of your child, I'll reward you with some tasty treats!"

He gave her a piece of apple.

Red Bean immediately grabbed the apple and began happily munching away.

It knew that the director favored it the most!

Every time he came, he would bring it something delicious.

"Era of the Big Straw Hat" rewarded with 30 rice balls!

"Moon War Dead" rewarded with a plane!

"Ancient Truth Heaven Knows" rewarded with a rocket, "These adorable creatures, I really hope someday everyone can have one!"

…

Fang Ye and Lan Li came out of the back and looked at the barrage of comments, "There are fewer than 2,500 red pandas in the whole world, even less than the number of giant pandas. It's pretty much impossible for everyone to have one. Although the zoo has bred some, we're still far from being able to release them back into the wild.

The situation for red pandas in the wild is also not very optimistic, their numbers are declining more and more. We need to properly protect their habitat. Otherwise, we may only be able to see them in zoos in the future."

He remarked, "I don't know why, but red pandas have always been endangered, yet they are only listed as a national second-class protected animal. I hope they can be upgraded to first-class next time, so that protection efforts can be increased."

"Eh, my heart aches for the little creatures!"

"I actually hope the protection level is lowered because that would mean they're no longer so endangered!"

"Not just for the little creatures, the situation for many animals is not looking good right now, who knows what the future will hold."

"But with directors like them working hard to protect wild animals, I believe things will get better!"

Fang Ye said, "The efforts of a few people are still limited. Only when everyone becomes more conscious can there be real hope. Since we're here at the red panda exhibit, let's go check on Chestnut and the others."
