I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 377 The Surprised Citizens

Title: "Linhai Zoo Welcomes Two Giant Pandas!"

"Visitors who come to the zoo often say to the animal keepers, ’I thought red pandas were just younger giant pandas; I didn’t realize they are different animals. Why don’t you have giant pandas? When will you be able to keep a giant panda?’

Indeed, the round and fluffy giant pandas can be said to be everyone’s ’cute god’!

Gaining the qualifications to raise giant pandas is not an easy task.

After the construction of the giant panda exhibit was completed and passed the inspection by the Forestry Bureau and was recognized by the Giant Panda Base that Linhai Zoo meets all the conditions for keeping giant pandas, the two pandas ’Zhuangzhuang’ and ’Cloud’ finally arrived at Linhai Zoo this afternoon after a long journey.

Zhuangzhuang is a big careless guy; he started eating bamboo quickly after arriving at the enclosure, while Cloud is a sensitive little girl who only calmed down slowly after being soothed patiently by the keeper from the Panda Base.

All you friends who love national treasures, from now on, you can see the cute giant pandas at Linhai Zoo, are you excited?

However, Zhuangzhuang and Cloud need to undergo quarantine first to ensure their health. Since it is also their first time traveling far, they need some time to adapt to the new environment. It is expected that they will be able to meet with visitors in as short a time as one week, but at most half a month!

What does the new home of the giant pandas look like? Let’s have a look.

...

In addition to announcing the arrival of the giant pandas, the article also introduced the environment of the giant panda exhibit and included a few photos.

There was also a video clip of Zhuangzhuang arriving at the enclosure, eating bamboo with relish.

The official account of Linhai Zoo usually only gets a few hundred to a thousand views, but today this article about the giant pandas went viral in the friends’ circles of Linhai City residents, and the reading count soon exceeded ten thousand!

Everyone is ecstatic about the arrival of the giant pandas. On ’Blue Planet’, giant pandas are even rarer than on Earth, and zoos with poorer conditions simply cannot apply for them, which is why many people initially couldn’t believe it!

People excitedly commented and left messages: "Wow, I can hardly wait to see the giant pandas!"

"I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see~\\(≥▽≤)/~"

"I once saw a panda with my parents at the capital city zoo when I was little. I lost the photo I took with a giant panda, and I’m so regretful! In a blink of an eye, I can take my own kids to see them."

"Damn, you guys are really good at keeping secrets. There wasn’t a hint of a leak before!"

"Is it next to the red panda exhibit, in the bamboo forest? When I asked what the new animal pavilion was being built for and guessed it was the giant panda exhibit, the keepers just laughed and said it wasn’t. That was so naughty."

"The environment of the giant panda exhibit looks so nice!"

"Yin-Yang Tai Chi layout panda exhibit, feels so high-class."

"To be honest, the habitat design of Linhai Zoo is the best I’ve seen in a zoo! It not only matches the animals’ habits but also looks particularly beautiful."

"Oh my, the giant panda’s teeth are really strong, you can hear the crunch crunch."

"Eating bamboo like people eating biscuits!"

"Too adorable, I could stare at a panda munching bamboo all day!"

"Whaaa, this video is too short, it’s simply not enough!"

The staff responsible for managing the official account replied, "If you want to see more, come over when it opens for a satisfying visit!"

"That’s it, just thinking about giant pandas will keep me up all night!"

"Haha, if you can’t sleep, you’ll turn into a national treasure yourself, with two dark circles around your eyes."

"When can we visit?"

Although the article had already mentioned it, there were still many people who, upon seeing the news of the giant pandas’ arrival, didn’t read the article carefully and rushed to ask questions in the comment section.

This kind of excitement was understandable. The staff pinned a comment to the top and replied, "The time isn’t certain yet. It depends on how quickly the giant pandas adapt to their new environment. At the earliest, they could meet everyone in a week! You can follow our official social media account, and we’ll notify you when the visitation time is confirmed."

"Thanks for the answer!"

"Oh no, I’m worried I won’t be able to get a ticket..."

"By the way, how much are the zoo tickets? Will the price go up? Or is there a separate charge for the panda exhibit?"

"There’s no price hike, still 30 yuan, and no separate charge! Our director said that it’s most important for everyone to learn a bit more about science and increase their awareness of animal protection!"

"Damn, Linhai Zoo is awesome!"

"The director is so generous, love it!"

It’s quite common for most zoos to charge separately for the panda exhibit!

After all, the cost of keeping giant pandas is no small matter; there are the pandas’ lease fees, as well as the not insubstantial construction costs for the panda exhibit itself, not to mention the cost of the panda pit...

There are facilities like a dedicated medical room, food processing room, feed refrigeration room, and bamboo sprinkling room, and the bamboo has to be washed twice before it can be fed to the giant pandas.

The staffing is also quite luxurious. In addition to Guan Shan, who is the leader of the Crouching Dragon in Sea of Bamboo area, there is also 1 full-time manager for the giant panda exhibit, 4 full-time animal keepers, 1 full-time vet, 1 feed manager, 3 educators, 6 security personnel, and 2 cleaners.

The wages alone are a hefty sum, so it’s quite reasonable to charge separately for the panda exhibit.

However, Fang Ye found it bothersome to charge an additional fee just for the panda exhibit as it would affect the visitor experience.

Moreover, for him, the construction of the venues used green leaf coins, and the bamboo feed could also be purchased with green leaf coins, eliminating the need to transport it from afar and saving a considerable amount of money.

The demonically persuasive donation box, incessantly crying out "Donations, donations, you must donate," was moved from the tiger exhibit to the panda exhibit and made much more than the ticket sales.

He also discussed it with the city officials, and they agreed to increase the subsidy without hesitation. The monthly subsidy went from 1 million to 1.5 million yuan!

Aside from the increased subsidy, the penalties that had been applied for because of the pandas’ arrival were also approved.

If there were uncivil behaviors like feeding the animals, pounding on the glass, or littering, there would be fines ranging from a minimum of 50 to a maximum of 300 yuan.

Although the fines weren’t large, their deterrent effect was stronger than the previous strategy of staff reprimanding and educating, or putting people on the zoo’s blacklist. Not all visitors care about saving face.

At Tang Xiaoxin’s home.

Mother Tang sat on the sofa, poking at her phone, when suddenly she exclaimed, "Yo!"

"Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, come look!"

"Hmm? Mom, what’s up?" Tang Xiaoxin ran out of the bedroom in her slippers.

Normally, the winter holidays start around January 20!

Of course, before the winter holidays, there would be final exams.

Although Mother Tang usually didn’t keep a tight rein on Tang Xiaoxin, in the last stretch before the final exams, she took away her phone and computer to prevent any distractions and ensure she focused solely on her revision.

"Linhai Zoo has pandas now, they just arrived today."

Tang Xiaoxin’s eyes suddenly widened in shock and she exclaimed, "What?"
