I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 748 - 747 The Sticky Sesame Dumplings

“Hurry and help it flip over! I can hardly resist going in to help it myself!”

“How can such an adorable little thing grow to be so big?”

“Pandas really are cute from small to large!”

“I think panda cubs are much cuter when they’re young than when they’re grown up.”

The panda cub’s little paws waved slowly through the air!

But now, as its body hadn’t yet developed properly, it couldn’t roll over, trying to curl its belly was already the limit.

“There, there, baby, it’s okay!”

After weighing it, the animal keeper noted down the weight and fed it a bottle of milk!

The milk fed to Cloud was naturally a different formula from that fed to the cubs; the proteins, fats, and lactose were all blended in proportions based on the components of the cubs’ natural milk.

A young giant panda’s energy needs are twice that of an infant’s, and its protein needs are five times as much. Such high demands are the reason why panda cubs grow so quickly, transforming from a skinny little mouse into a round glutinous rice ball in no time.

Fang Ye instructed, “You take this one back to Cloud, I’ll feed it the milk.”

The one that had been sleeping soundly in the nursery had obviously already been fed.

The animal keeper agreed with an “Okay” and carried it away.

Fang Ye sat down, supporting the cub’s bottom, and placed it on his lap.

With one hand, he lifted the milk bottle to feed it!

As soon as the cub got its milk, it settled down, squinting its eyes, its mouth moving rhythmically; it drank with a “guzzle guzzle” sound, so content that it even comfortably cocked up its feet!

A gentle smile spread across Fang Ye’s face as he fed the milk, with his other hand gently rubbing the cub’s little feet.

The netizens all revealed smitten grins!

“So cute!!!”

“Haha, so content it’s cocking its feet!”

“And the zookeeper is taking the opportunity to touch its feet, what a rogue!”

“It looks so comfortable to touch, I wonder what it feels like! The paw pads must be squishy!”

“Jealousy has disfigured me!”

“I couldn’t help but pick up my own cat!”

“The zookeeper will surely be very experienced when it comes to raising his own kids in the future!”

After feeding it milk, the cub still held up its hands, reluctant to let the bottle go!

Fang Ye flipped the cub upside down by placing one hand in front of its chest and the other behind its bottom, changing its position from lying on its back to lying prone.

He gently patted its back, his movements soft and experienced.

After finishing the milk and getting its back patted, the cub made a weak purring sound of contentment, wiggling its backside while its dandelion-fluff-like little tail also waved around.

Someone curiously asked, “Hey, what’s that thing behind its bottom?”

“Isn’t that obviously a tail?”

“Shocked, the panda’s tail is white?”

“Shocked, pandas have tails?”

“What, there are actually people who don’t even know if pandas have tails?”

Netizens were startling each other!

However, compared to their bodies, panda tails are indeed very small and inconspicuous, just a tiny bit, so some people might have never noticed them. Thus, the notion that pandas don’t have tails gradually took root in people’s minds.

It’s the same with mandarin ducks; many people, seeing them printed on quilts, thought they were birds of faithful love. Suddenly hearing that mandarin ducks are fickle playboys turned their impression upside down, making them feel as if their whole worldview had shattered.

Fang Ye said, “Of course they have tails!

When they’re newborn cubs, their tails are about a quarter of their body length, but as they grow up, the tail’s proportion to body length reduces to less than one-tenth, becomes flatter, and with thick fur covering them plus the chubby buttocks hiding them, they’re not noticeable at all.

In ‘Kung Fu Panda,’ the panda’s tail is black, which might have given people the impression that panda tails are black. In reality, 99.9% of panda tails are white, but there are also those rare exceptions with black fur on their tails.

Tails are very important to pandas; they can act cute, sit with their tails tucked under their bottoms, and when they’re with other little bears, they can bite each other’s tails for fun!”

“Haha, really?”

“This definitely sounds like a joke!”

Fang Ye laughed and said, “Actually, the real use of the tail is to spread pheromones for communicating with other pandas. So during the mating season, it’s common to see pandas with their tails raised up, rubbing their butts on walls and trees.”

After feeding the cub its milk, he placed it on the mat!

He tidied up the mat, and the cub lay down, falling asleep quickly.

In its dream, it still smacked its lips, presumably dreaming of something pleasant.

Fang Ye said, “Now the cub does nothing but eat and sleep all day, then sleep and eat. Let’s go see some other animals!”

“I want to see the koala! Koala, koala!”

“Koalas are super cute!”

The koala had already been brought over, but since animals from overseas go through a long quarantine period, it wasn’t on display yet.

The koala exhibit, being an Australian theme, was located next to the African animal theme.

It was constructed quite simply, with an area similar to the red panda exhibit, featuring some green plants and a few perches.

Because koalas usually stay in trees, they can spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping and rarely come down for activity.

One could say they are even lazier than pandas!

The only thing to be careful of is that the climate in Linhai is hot and wet. Koalas are adapted to tropical environments where high temperatures are just right for them, feeling like home. However, they get uncomfortable with high humidity, so the exhibit also has dehumidifiers.

Fang Ye chuckled, “Okay, let’s go see the koalas!”

Arriving at the koala exhibit.

They saw a koala lying on a tree branch perch, sleeping soundly.

The koala was perched at the fork of the branch, curled up into a round ball, its paws resting on the branch, with its face buried in its arms!

Even though the sun was shining high, it closed its eyes, sleeping like a lazy pig, very sweetly.

With a coat of thick, soft, dense gray fur, a round body, pudgy cheeks, and fluffy large ears, it looked adorably clueless.

“Wow!”

“Resting its hands is so cute!”

“I don’t know how pretty Sleeping Beauty is, but a sleeping koala is truly adorable! I really want to touch its face!”

“Haha, if you touch it, will it wake up and turn into Prince Koala?”

The netizens were excitedly posting bullet comments!

Koalas are a rare sight in animals, and originally only one zoo in the country had them; most people never had the chance to see them.

Now that they saw the koalas, naturally, they burst forth with great enthusiasm.
