I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 450 The Reward for Getting Close to Animals

Fang Ye stood at a nearby intersection, with his back to the girls, pretending to look at the signs!

However, the distinctive park director's uniform was still very recognizable.

The Sparkling Girls were startled upon hearing Ran Qingqing's shout, looked over, and indeed it was him!

Guessing that their next task would be to obtain something from him, they jog started over.

"Morning, Director!"

"Director, no use pretending! I recognized you at a glance!"

Fang Ye inwardly sighed, feeling that even just showing his back, he still appeared so handsome and outstanding!

Turning around, he said with a chuckle, "How was it, the food at the Panda Restaurant is not bad, right?"

"Mmm, it's delicious!"@@@@

"Director, what are we going to do next?"

Fang Ye pulled out a whistle and "toot toot" blew it!

While the girls were puzzled, they saw a speck in the distant sky!

"Squawk! Squawk!"

The speck quickly grew larger—it was a macaw.

Under the sunlight, its red and green feathers reflected a beautiful luster, like a rainbow falling from the sky.

As it quickly descended, it powerfully flapped its wings a few times, held its wings vertically to increase resistance, and slowed down its speed, landing on Fang Ye's outstretched hand.

It was Jin Martin, with a wallet-like clip in its claws.

The girls were momentarily stunned by such a cool entrance.

Once they came to their senses, they "wow"ed excitedly and clapped their hands incessantly!

"That's so cool!"

"Director, your parrots are so well trained."

This way of announcing tasks was conceived by the show crew, very fitting for a zoo's features, flashy and scoring full marks.

Jin Martin was quite the showoff in character!

After handing over the clip to Fang Ye, and seeing the girls cheering for him, it proudly flapped its wings twice and held its head high: "Basic drill flawless!"

Fang Ye laughed softly and stroked Jin Martin's head, his fingers scraping over its back: "Well done, you did great!"

He took out a walnut from his pocket as a reward for delivering the message.

"Thank you, Director!"

After gratefully accepting the thanks, Jin Martin clutched the walnut in its beak.

Fang Ye raised his hand, lifting it to his shoulder, and Jin Martin understandingly moved to his shoulder, happily starting to enjoy the walnut.

Fang Ye then opened the clip, taking out three cards from inside.

He looked at the girls, who were also looking at him with nervous anticipation!

...

Ran Qingqing's team arrived in front of ring-tailed lemur island!

The animal keeper Yang took their card and said with a smile, "Let's go, first change into some rain boots; I'll take you to feed the ring-tailed lemurs."

"Why do we need to change into rain boots?"

"Because later we have to cross over the water to get to the island!"

As they entered the back house, Ran Qingqing immediately wrinkled her nose and fanned the air: "Wow, what's that foul smell?"

Her teammate looked grim, "It really stinks!"

Yang explained, "Ring-tailed lemurs have scent glands, and they secrete a very pungent body fluid that marks their territory, so the back house of the ring-tailed lemurs is probably the smelliest place in the zoo.

It's actually not so bad in the corridor here, but the houses where they usually live, the smell is several times stronger than this."

Ran Qingqing and her teammates couldn't believe it!

They never imagined that the adorable ring-tailed lemurs would have such an unknown side to them.

The farther they went inside, the stronger the smell became!

Both began to cough a bit and tear up, their faces bitter.

It was hard to imagine just how pungent the smell in their houses might be.

"Cough, cough!"

With some confusion, Ran Qingqing asked, "If the smell is so strong, why not ventilate more often?"

Yang said with a smile, "Actually, there is ventilation, it's just that what smells rather stinky to us is quite comfortable for the ring-tailed lemurs to live in.

Frequent ventilation that dilutes the smell can actually make them uncomfortable and unaccustomed to their home.

Obviously, the place where animals live should prioritize their comfort, humans can bear with it a bit."

It was a very straightforward and simple truth!

Ran Qingqing nodded her head, feeling somewhat moved inside.

She had never thought about considering issues from the perspective of the animals.

Yang added, "Oh, and our zoo's panda Cloud likes to be surrounded by her own poo bunches when she sleeps; she finds it very comforting."

"What!?"

Both couldn't help but laugh, "That's too funny."

After putting on their rain boots, they went to the kitchen. The food for the ring-tailed lemurs was already prepared in a square metal tray.

Red, green, yellow—all kinds of little cubes cut up and looking very colorful.

"It's so plentiful!"

Ran Qingqing was amazed by the lemurs' diet, identifying each item: "Apples, dragon fruit, bananas, what's this green thing? And what's this one that looks like cake?"

Yang said, "This is kiwi! This is a cornmeal cake made with corn and soybean meal, with added vitamins and calcium powder and such; it's very beneficial for their health.

Since some of our ring-tailed lemurs recently had babies, the food we give them is especially rich and nutritious!"
