I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 367 Shocking, the zoo has a hot spring!

New life is always a joy.

The gestation period of an African lion is about 100 days, which means that in two months, there will be little lion cubs born.

"Pregnant? That's wonderful!" Lan Li exclaimed with a surprised and delighted expression!

"Yes, she should be!"

As Fang Ye spoke, he used the Eye of Observation to scan Qiuqiu again.

The lions were not very far away, with Qiuqiu likewise lying lazily on the ground, flicking her tail, showing no signs of pregnancy.

A hint of disappointment flashed through Fang Ye's mind, but then he considered another possibility.

It wasn't that Qiuqiu wasn't pregnant, but rather that the signs were not obvious enough for the first layer of the Eye of Observation to detect.

He didn't want to activate the second layer, lest it disturb Qiuqiu.

He instructed Li, "Keep an eye on her, and allocate more food in the coming days."

Li, having noticed Yueyue's unusual behavior, vaguely guessed she might be pregnant.

Excited yet feeling an increased sense of responsibility, he nodded and agreed, "Of course! I'll take good care of the lions."

Managing an animal's pregnancy is a complex affair.

First, you have to provide more food to ensure the lioness has enough nutrition.

You also need to have the lioness exercise a little to prevent excessive weight gain, complicating delivery.

To ensure a smooth birth, the lioness must be separated from the male lion a month before giving birth, to provide her with a peaceful environment for delivery.

After the cubs are born, disturbances must be minimized; humans should avoid appearing in front of the lions to prevent the lioness from getting anxious and possibly abandoning or even harming the cubs.

There were many other animals that had recently mated: macaques, ring-tailed lemurs, the rescued wild boar Black Whirlwind and Maymay, and the parrots were also falling in love, with December approaching, marking the mating season for wolves.

It looked like there was going to be a busy time ahead.

...

In the afternoon,

Fang Ye sat at his desk flipping through books, considering what enrichment to provide for the pregnant lioness.

Usually, he preferred to read outside in the annex, surrounded by green plants and vegetables, inhaling the fragrance of the soil and enjoying the breeze – much more comfortable than staying indoors.

However, it was a little cold today due to the changing temperature, so he stayed inside.

As he turned a page, he suddenly paused.

A system prompt appeared in his mind: "Ding! An anomaly has been detected during construction!"

"An anomaly?"

This was his first time encountering such a prompt. Could they have dug up some sort of grave?

He couldn't wait any longer, leaping up and sprinting toward the cherry blossom forest.

Lan Li watched Fang Ye's retreating figure, puzzled.

Why was the director so excited and in such a hurry? What was he off to do?

He hadn't even bothered to greet her.

...

At the dug-up pit site!

Fang Ye arrived at the scene, and the sight of water bubbling up made him laugh uncontrollably; he dipped his fingers into the water.

Quietly feeling the temperature.

"Hey, not bad, it's a bit hot, but still tolerable!"

Probably around thirty to forty degrees Celsius.

Then he scooped up some water and washed his face with the hot spring water.

Whether it was a placebo effect or not, he felt quite comfortable, and after washing up, he was feeling refreshed and content.

"Hehehe!"

Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Fang Ye let out a silly, contented laugh; anyway, the construction site was off-limits to outsiders, so no one else could see him.

...

Back home, Lan Li curiously asked, "Director, what's up? You rushed out so suddenly."

"Haha, you'd never guess what happened!"

Fang Ye was in good spirits, smiling and saying, "We've discovered a hot spring in our zoo! Today really is my lucky day, a double celebration."

"A hot spring!?"

Lan Li's eyes widened in amazement as well.

Then, thinking of something, she got excited, "Can hot springs beautify your skin? I've heard that soaking in hot springs often can make you prettier."

Fang Ye pinched Lan Li's smooth cheek, chuckling, "You're already very pretty, do you still need to bathe in hot springs? But soaking does indeed have health benefits."

Lan Li said, "Of course a girl would hope to become even prettier!"

Fang Ye replied with a smirk, "Since you like it, once the hot spring pool is ready, why don't we go soak together?"

Blushing a little, Lan Li gave him a light punch, "You must be thinking of something perverted!"

She felt that the director's desires had been growing stronger lately—in the morning, they had almost gotten overly affectionate, and living under the same roof was proving to be somewhat dangerous...

Such a big pig's trotter, claiming that moving in would be no different from the dorm!

Fang Ye blinked innocently, "What? I'm just talking about a regular hot spring soak..."
