I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 257 Fox Ascent Palm Strike

The foxes were quite interested at first, but after a while, they seemed to realize something. How come this strange mouse stops moving the moment it is caught, and then comes back to life once it is let go?

Their enthusiasm for hunting gradually decreased, and they would only chase and catch it if it ran close to them.

It seems that this toy is fun for a while, but interest is quickly lost if played with continuously!

After all, hunting requires focus and is much more exhausting than mere play—most importantly, you can't eat it. Being able to eat would probably make it very exciting.

After watching the foxes play for about ten minutes, Fang Ye took the opportunity when Electric Rat was caught by Xiaoqiao and still pretending to be dead, picked up the Electric Rat, turned it off, and put it back in his pocket.

He came up to Xiaoqiao, crouched down with a smile, and said, "How about it, still upset, or feeling a little happier now?"

Xiaoqiao lifted her head, looking quite a bit happier and not as aggrieved as before.

"Ying ying~"

It seemed to say, "Alright, since you brought a toy for your master, I'll forgive you this time."

Fang Ye reached out his hand and gently stroked Xiaoqiao's head. Sugar Pack, the Crown Prince, and Youyou lay about a meter away, watching him pet Xiaoqiao as if enraptured by a TV drama.

After petting the fluffy tail for a while, Xiaoqiao suddenly got angry and turned around to bite!

"Ouch!"

Fang Ye was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, thankfully quick enough to avoid being bitten.

Xiaoqiao glared at him huffily as if to say, allowing you to touch my head is already a big compromise, you're never satisfied, and you even touched my tail!

That place is off-limits!

Fang Ye looked at Xiaoqiao's proud demeanor and couldn't help but laugh, thinking, "The mind of a fox is truly inscrutable, changing at a moment's notice."

He turned his head towards Youyou, who was watching the drama from the other side, and beckoned, "Youyou, come over and let me pet you too?"

"Ying~"

Youyou ran away timidly, but Sugar Pack happily trotted over, "Ying ying" vocalizing, and lay down on the ground exposing her white belly.

...

After playing with the foxes, Fang Ye picked up a bouquet of flowers and a large durable cardboard box and headed to the tiger exhibit!

It was also an enrichment prop he drew yesterday.

[Bouquet of Flowers]: When animals sniff it, their mood increased by 20%.

Note: As the scent dissipates, the effect will disappear after three days, turning into a regular beautiful bouquet of flowers.

[Durable Cardboard Box]: More durable than ordinary cardboard boxes, increasing the satisfaction of tearing by 20%.

Upon arriving at the tiger exhibit, he greeted the animal keeper Bao and entered through the staff entrance.

At that moment, Jiaojiao and Ice Cake were playing in the pond!

Ice Cake was still quite young, and Jiaojiao thought it wasn't time for Ice Cake to learn to swim, preventing it from playing in the water every time it tried to go.

However, seeing Ice Cake's longing to play in the water, she allowed it to play in the shallow end, standing by the edge and blocking it back whenever Ice Cake playfully tried to run towards the deeper end.

The water depth in the shallow pool was about 5-15 cm, the shallowest part would not submerge a little tiger's head even if it laid down in it.

Right then, Ice Cake stood in the water, eyes fixed on a floating leaf, pawing and splashing in the water, enjoying itself immensely.

Seeing the leaf drift away, it crouched down and leapt! Pinning the leaf in its small paws.

But with that leap, a splash of water erupted, hitting its own face, and with a blink of its eyes, it shook its head with its mouth open.

Jiaojiao quietly lay on the side, looking at Ice Cake playing with the water with a soft gaze.

The splashes from Ice Cake's jumps also hit her face, and Jiaojiao, seemingly in a playful mood, slapped the water with her massive tiger paw, causing an even larger splash!

Rain started drizzling from the sky, and Ice Cake became drenched, looking like a drowned rat. Initially, only the fur on its belly was wet, but now it was damp all over.

"Waahhh!"

Whining, Ice Cake pounced towards Jiaojiao, biting and gnawing at Jiaojiao's tiger paw. Jiaojiao lowered her head and began gently licking Ice Cake's fur with her tongue.
