I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 664 - 663: The Director Strokes the Lion

"This sounds so troublesome!"

"Penguins are so delicate? Even needing to remove the innards."

The animal keeper laughed and explained, "Because the fish is thawed, not removing the innards could lead to bacterial growth. Frozen fish also loses some nutrition, so we need to stuff vitamin tablets inside the fish's body."

For daily feeding, there's active feeding, foraging, and toss-feeding! Our zoo mainly uses toss-feeding, which creates an environment similar to wild hunting for the penguins and allows them to get plenty of exercise.

The downside is that some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled may not be able to grab the fish, so we need to observe their eating situation. For those who can't grab the fish, we need to make a special exception and hand-feed them a bit."

"Every day around 10 AM and 3 PM we will feed them by tossing the fish, so if you are visiting the penguins, that would be the best time to come."

"Oh~"

"Taking care of them must be so hard!"

After the penguins finished eating, some swam contentedly in the water, while others walked ashore with a clumsy and adorable gait, moving towards a cool and shady spot under a rocky cliff to lie down and rest quietly.

Some penguins, after eating their fill, were even more spirited. They raised their necks and let out a loud braying nonstop, turning their heads to look left and right at the female penguins beside them, showing off their singing.

Liu Wei and Amamiya Kokoro enjoyed watching the penguins to their heart's content before heading to the predator exhibition area.

The lion exhibit!

Amamiya Kokoro stared at the scene before her, her eyes wide open, displaying an extremely shocked expression!

"Wha-wha-whaat the heck!??"

She even started to stutter!

A breeze swept over the expansive green savannah, and suddenly, the tall grass waved rhythmically like ocean waves.

The towering Pride Rock, basked in the bright golden sunlight, cast a long shadow.

It imparted a majestic, wild, and free sensation!

At that moment, the lions were lying in twos and threes on the savannah, lazily basking in the sun.

However, even more eye-catching than the magnificent scenery was a carefree human sitting beside a male lion!

He stroked the lion's thick mane, and the lion, being petted like this, didn't seem to mind at all, even leaning its head against the person.

Suddenly, the lion opened its maw wide, exposing sharp canine teeth, and let out a muffled, low growl.

The lion's eyes displayed a domineering spirit, its roar like an engine starting up, giving Amamiya Kokoro quite the fright!

She couldn't help but ask, "Is that an animal keeper from the zoo? Isn't that too dangerous? Isn't he afraid of being attacked by the lion?"

Liu Wei laughed, "Ordinary animal keepers certainly wouldn't have the nerve! But this guy is a legend; he's Linhai Zoo's Director, Fang Ye, nicknamed the Urban Archdruid! It should be the other way around, the lions are scared of him!"

"Eh?"

Amamiya Kokoro was full of question marks.

Talking up the zoo director's brilliant deeds to friends new to the zoo was a favorite pastime of old visitors!

Although he wasn't a legend himself, as a witness to a legend, he could share a bit of the glory.

Liu Wei said proudly, "Director Fang seems to have some kind of magic about him; animals really like being around him!

Petting lions and tigers, which we find inconceivable, is just everyday normal for him.

Sometimes when you come to visit, you can even see Director Fang swimming in the pond with the tigers! Even adult elephants are well-behaved in front of him."

Amamiya Kokoro blinked her eyes, "Really? You're not just pulling my leg, are you?"

"It's true! Look, right now, Director Fang is petting a lion."

Qiqi turned its head and roared at Fang Ye, who didn't flinch at all and rubbed its head even harder.

This immediately sparked a lively discussion among the visitors.

"Wow!"

"Is that lion being affectionate with the zoo director, or did it get angry from having its head rubbed?"

"Hehe, seems like the director really enjoys stroking the lions' scalps, almost as if he's pushed their hairlines back a bit!"

"My cat's temperament isn't even that good! If I dared to rub it like that, it would definitely bite me."

"The fluffy lion looks pretty cute, but when it roars, it's still kind of scary!"

The scene in front of them was more convincing than words could ever be!

Amazed, Amamiya Kokoro said, "How is this possible? Did he raise these lions from cubs?"

"No, they were introduced in the past two years, but it's really magical," Liu Wei chuckled. "We're quite lucky today, getting to watch the zoo director petting the lions!"

Fang Ye, with a smile, patted Qiqi's buttocks: "What's up? Is there something bothering you today? Tell me and make me happy."

Qiqi turned her head and glared at him: "Roar!"

You tell me! Every time you come over, you pluck at my beautiful hair.

If you keep plucking, I'm going to go bald. Doesn't the Lion King have any dignity?

Fang Ye then rubbed Kaka's mane. Kaka lay on the grass in a lazy manner, slightly opened its eyes, and roared in acknowledgement of Fang Ye's greeting.

He touched Kaka's broad nose, wrapped an arm around its neck, and gave it a snuggle.

He affectionately gave it a "mua" kiss!

Being with the lions on the vast grasslands, taking in the breezy wind and basking in the warm sunshine, he felt an unbridled sense of freedom.

To forget all past sorrows and cares, to have a heart free from malice, and a world that's wide and forgiving.

This was probably the state of mind he was in.

After greeting the male lions, he moved over to Qiuqiu and Yueyue.

Yueyue stood up to greet him, and as Fang Ye petted its head and rubbed its neck, it comfortably lay down beside his legs.

One of its front paws stretched out stiffly, as if stretching, and its hind legs also rose up.

Fang Ye's palm curved, his fingers hooked, scratching like an itch, his fingertips sinking into Yueyue's fur on top of its head, and stroking downwards.

With such a caress, Yueyue felt so comfortable that its eyes almost squinted shut, and its tongue licked its lips.

Fang Ye looked down, and instantly Yueyue also nudged its head closer, its fluffy cheeks giving a tender rub and acting coy.

Fang Ye said with a laugh, "Good girl!"

He glanced at the visitors outside; they immediately waved excitedly, some even whistled.

"Director Fang, I love you!"

"Director Fang, I want to have your lion cubs!"

The young lions had grown quite a bit by now, their demeanor somewhat more composed!

At that moment, they were lying in the sun, and when Fang Ye approached, their shiny eyes all looked towards him with friendliness.

Though lacking the dense manes of adult males, one could see a circle of longer fur around their necks.

They were like young adolescents with fuzzy whiskers around their mouths, in the transition stage between juvenile and mature.

When they were born, their heads were covered with black spots, just like those of little leopards, but now the black spots on their heads had faded, with only faint spots remaining on their legs.

"Hello there, the melancholic little princes!"

Fang Ye sat down next to the young lions and cheerfully greeted each one, pinching their ears.
