I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 586 : Arriving at the New Home

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ye's expression turned cold, "Fine then, taking advantage of me while I'm on a call? Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Lan Li pouted, "You've bullied me so many times, what's wrong with me bullying you once? And you're trying to scare me, weren't you very happy?"

Fang Ye glanced down with a hint of helplessness, you undependable thing, betraying me!

He pushed Lan Li down on the sofa, righteously declaring, "Demoness, today I shall vanquish the evil in you!"

"You, you bully!"

Lan Li gently bit her lip, trying to control herself from making any noise, but her eyes gradually became unfocused, and she could no longer care about that...

...

After a while of intimacy, the two lay entwined, letting their bodies cool down gradually.

Lan Li gently embraced Fang Ye, resting her head on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, "Husband."

"What's wrong? Tired?"

Lan Li earnestly nodded, "A bit, but I was worried it would be too much for you!"

After all, when Fang Ye was tired, he would drink spiritual water. Having drunk spiritual water regularly, it didn't significantly increase his strength, but it did enhance his vigor greatly.

Although Lan Li also drank some spiritual water, she didn't drink as much, just slightly better than an average person's constitution.

Fang Ye was somewhat moved, caressing Lan Li's head, "You don't have to accommodate me so much!"

Lan Li's eyes, bright as Lingling's, fixed on him, she said softly, "Be nicer to me in the future!"

Now she had given all of herself to Fang Ye, and just thinking of him brought an indescribable sweetness. She was happy just being together with him, and would smile when she thought of him.

Fang Ye simply said, "Hmm!"

Being favored by such a girl was in itself a kind of luck.

Annoyed, Lan Li bit down on his deltoid, leaving behind a row of tiny teeth marks, "What do you mean, hmm? That's so perfunctory!"

Fang Ye laughed, "Then what do you want me to say, hmm, to my most adorable, kind, and gentle wife?"

Embracing Fang Ye like a stuffed toy, Lan Li said quietly, "Hmph, who agreed to be your wife."

After resting for a bit, Fang Ye checked the time; it had already been over an hour.

He got Lan Li to stand up, "Let's go, we'll get ready and go see the giraffes together!"

It had rained again today, and in the summertime, rains in Linhai were quite frequent.

The air after the rain was tinged with a hint of freshness; the leaves and grass glistened with dewdrops, dissipating much of the summer heat.

Fang Ye held Lan Li's hand in his left and carried a folding umbrella in his right, in case it suddenly started raining again.

However, rainy days were actually more suitable for giraffe transport, as direct sunlight could make the giraffes uncomfortable.

Upon arriving at the giraffe exhibit, although the giraffes hadn't arrived yet, many staff members were already busy at work.

Transporting giraffes was similar to transporting elephants!

Initially, they needed to be trained, having the transport crate placed in their dwelling to get familiar with it for a week or two, allowing the giraffes to naturally enter and exit.

Afterward, using a crane, the crate would be placed on a truck, and then they could depart.

If the giraffe's height was just a little too much for the vehicle, a lower-height truck could be used. If that still wasn't enough, a window could be opened at the back of the box to let the giraffe bend its head down and stretch forward slightly.

That way, they could go through compactly, but if the height difference was too great, then there was no alternative.

Certainly, it wasn't feasible to have the giraffe stretching its neck all the way out; not only would it be uncomfortable to maintain that position during a long transportation, but the giraffe's head might hit the opposite window if the truck made a turn.

Fang Ye, after buying the giraffes, communicated with the animal keepers to understand that giraffes are particularly nervous animals, prone to serious stress responses.

So along with the transport, we had to pack some snacks to ease the giraffes' nervousness. The driving also had to be smooth and steady, not too fast.

When our zoo first brought them in, a startled giraffe ran until it dropped dead.

Despite their large size, they're quite fragile and sensitive.

Several more died one after another before things stabilized.

Over a decade ago there was a large-scale giraffe importation: 20 were brought in from Africa all at once to be distributed to zoos across various cities. However, within less than a decade, most had died due to various reasons.

This goes to show the difficulties of raising giraffes!

But once you get past this hurdle, it's actually quite easy to care for them.

They have gentle, docile temperaments and don't cause any trouble, eating and excreting little each day.

A young giraffe consumes less than 30 jin a day!

Elephants need over 100 kilograms of food daily, and their feed has to be delivered by the truckload, taking up a lot of time just to unload. Cleaning up seventy or eighty kilograms of dung is also troublesome. The zoo has four such giant eaters and poop machines.

Fang Ye came over not just to welcome the young giraffes but also to sneakily use a soothing skill to keep them from being too tense and scared, preventing any incidents from occurring.

...

Two trucks with tall transport cages arrived slowly one after the other!

Through the bars, one could see the small-framed giraffe, its body covered in yellow spots, looking like a delicate, slender exotic flower.

One shyly lowered its head while the other peered around restlessly, observing its surroundings.

After a 42-hour journey, they finally arrived looking weary and travel-worn.

Nearby, visitors outside the safety line crowded around, curiously sizing up the giraffes and taking the opportunity to snap photos and post on their social feeds: "Heard they were building a giraffe exhibit, didn't expect it to be ready so soon!"

"New characters unlocked!"

"The zoo's development is really fast. Skip a month or two and you'll find so many new animals."

"How many animals are there now?"

"There's no way to count, between the reptile house, the bird house, at least a few hundred species, right?"

"Among the large animals, giraffes are my favorite. They have such gentle characters and they eat so elegantly! It feels like they're the gentlemen of the animal world."

"Eh, I remember giraffes being much taller than this, right?"

"Don't know, maybe they're juveniles?"

Fang Ye walked up to the side of the truck, smiling warmly as he greeted the young giraffe: "Hey! Welcome to Linhai Zoo! I'm the director here."

The one in front was Number 10!

It lowered its head slightly, looking at him with big eyes full of bewilderment.

For some reason, it felt that this bipedal creature was different from others, radiating a faint sense of kinship, as if it were family.

Lan Li's eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "The little knobs on the giraffe's head are so cute!"

The staff, now quite familiar with the procedure, skillfully fitted hoisting straps around the transport cages. Having previously brought in several elephants and after repeated practices, they were already proficient in the unloading process for large animals!

Seeing that Number 11 was a bit nervous, kicking around in its cage, Fang Ye cast a soothing skill.

It settled down considerably, and even though lifted by the crane, it was still somewhat scared but not to the point of stress.

Once the cage was placed down, Number 10 breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously surveyed the new environment!

About two minutes later, it carefully entered the enclosure.

Number 11 hesitated very little, following its sibling as soon as it was set down.
