I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 407: Black Panther Diana

Afternoon.

The black panther was transported over and placed into the quarantine area.

Although the animals sent by the system have gone through quarantine and have the relevant certificates, there was temporarily no other place for them.

This black panther poked its head out of the transport cage door, lowered its body cautiously, and surveyed the outside environment before bolting out and scampering into a corner.

Its coat was pitch black, looking like the profound night sky when one can’t see the hand in front of them.

Although the fur was a deep black, the musculature beneath, reflected a faint, almost imperceptible dark metallic sheen under natural light, exuding a mysterious and enchanting temperament.

Now, the corner of the cage seemed as if it was eerily swallowed by darkness.

One could imagine that in the dim light of night, its pitch-black coat would blend seamlessly with the shadows, making it nearly impossible to detect while it lurked within.

The black panther is a natural-born assassin of the shadows, a sovereign in the night!

A pair of eyes were as white as ivory, standing out starkly against the black fur, like the bright moon in the night sky.

It embodied the mystery of the night and the elegance of the panther all in one.

The animal keepers, who came to help move the transport cage (and also to gawk), admired the black panther and whispered excitedly, "Wow, the black panther is really gorgeous! Who would have thought our zoo would introduce one too."

"Yeah, yeah, I’ve always thought black panthers were super cool!"

"This fur looks so smooth!"

"Hey, if you look closely, you can actually see faint patterns? I always thought black panthers were pure black!"

"Right, just like White Tiger, they all have patterns."

"Panthers are the most elegant cats of all!"

"Roar~~~~~~"

The black panther glanced at the keepers outside with its moon-like eyes and stole a quick look at the wall in front of it. Its body stayed low to the ground with its leg muscles tensed, ready to burst forth at any moment.

It opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs and pressed its ears tightly against its head. A deep, engine-like growl emanated from its chest and it swiped its paw in a warning gesture, looking fierce as could be.

Don’t provoke me; I’ll attack if you keep it up!

It appeared very alert and tense.

Gender: Female

Mood: Scared/Nervous]

Fang Ye called out, "Alright, the show’s over. Let’s disperse."

Although the keepers weren’t quite satisfied, they were sensible enough to know that the black panther was stressed and needed a quiet environment to relax, so they dispersed.

After leaving the quarantine area, Lan Li came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Director, does this black panther have a name?"

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Not yet, what would be a good name for it?"

He rubbed his chin, pondering.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about Coal? But the black panther is a female, won’t that name be a bit rough?"

Lan Li broke out in a cold sweat and cautiously suggested, "That... it feels like it’s forming a couple with Charcoal, won’t Mizzle get angry?"

Fang Ye indeed got the name Coal from thinking about Charcoal!

After some thought, since Xiaoqiao was also a black fox, why not give the black panther a similar name, "How about Diana then?"

Lan Li’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "The moon goddess Diana, that’s a lovely name! And giving an exotic name to the jaguar fits quite well too."

Fang Ye decided with ease and pleasure, "Then let’s call her Diana."

...

The bustling New Year quickly passed, and after the holidays, it was time to return to work. The number of visitors at the zoo suddenly decreased.

Even though there were fewer visitors, the zoo became livelier than ever!

Mizzle gave birth to cubs, the black panther arrived, and the lion cubs were born over these days—one thing after another.

Lion exhibit.

Animal keeper Li carried a bucket of meat to the door of Yueyue’s birthing room.

Just like the structure of Mizzle’s birthing room, it was divided into the inner birthing area and the outer activity zone by a wooden partition.

This partition mainly acted as a buffer, allowing the animal keeper to deliver food without being seen by the mother animal, who could hide away, thus minimizing the disturbance to her.

Yueyue was lying on the straw, her tongue licking the fur of a small lion cub.

The cub, just two days old, resembled a pale yellow puppy.

Its eyes were still closed, and its legs were weak, unable to stand steady, dragging its belly across the straw as it struggled to move its limbs forward.

As it crawled, it called out with a milky voice, "Wahh! Wahh!"

The sound was very similar to the cries of a human infant and very loud!

After a few steps, Yueyue pressed it down with her front paw, and it cried out again, "Wahhh!"

The little lion already had a strong set of lungs from a young age.

Yueyue lowered her head and licked the cub twice, releasing it.

With a relentless "Ah ah ah," the cub howled as it moved towards its brothers and sisters!

It seemed very spirited.

Yueyue had given birth to four lion cubs in one litter.

Watching her children with bright, alert eyes, Yueyue lay down on her side and licked her paw.

The scene was originally very warm and beautiful, but when Li arrived at the door, Yueyue heard the noise, immediately perked up her ears, and alertly rose from the ground!

She moved swiftly to the outer side, her eyes narrowing, her gaze fierce as if ready to kill, her mouth wide open, exuding immense ferocity.

"Hah~"

She let out an angry snort, moving her head from side to side, surveying the surroundings, eyes fixed on the door.

Was there danger? What was that sound?

Li was just about to place the meat when Yueyue, surprisingly sensitive, rose to her feet at the slightest noise.

The wooden partition was meant to block the line of sight and reduce the mother’s agitation, yet she had gone out of her way to check.

Seeing Yueyue come out, Li quickly dodged to the side of the door.

"Roar~"

Yueyue’s body and head lowered slightly as she turned her head cautiously and let out a hoarse, low growl, much like a burp.

Then, as if remembering something, she abruptly turned her body to look at her cubs.

All was well.

"Hah~"

She exhaled again, went over to a cub, quickly circled around it, and lowered her head as if intending to pick it up.

Noticing the outside commotion had ceased, she hesitated for a moment before slowly lying down.

"Wahhhh~"

The little lion cub cried out.

Li, hearing no further sound, peeked into the room from behind the door with the caution of playing CS, then quickly emerged.

He muttered to himself, "Yueyue is really fierce; I must talk to the zoo director about considering hand-rearing..."

She used to roar at him often when he brought her food during her pregnancy.

He had been caring for the lions for several months, and by all rights, their relationship should have been pretty good, but Yueyue showed no favors.

Now that she had given birth, she seemed even more sensitive and ferocious.

He stuffed several large chunks of meat through the bars of the enclosure.

Yueyue suspiciously peered out her head, and this time she caught a straight look at Li!

Her gaze instantly turned extremely angry, her body trembled violently, her mouth wide open as she let out a deafening roar!

"Holy shit!"

Li was about to retreat, startled, as the bucket in his hand clattered to the floor.
