I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 469 Variety Show Broadcast (Part 2)

Upon witnessing the giant panda forcefully snapping a bamboo stalk in half, Zhuang Ting was completely astounded, "Isn't that too fierce?"

The camera focused on the giant panda's simple and honest face as it grabbed a piece of bamboo and started munching on it with relish. A caption appeared on the side, "I am a member of the bear family! Don't underestimate me!"

Many people's previous impression of giant pandas was of a naive and docile creature that clung to the legs of animal keepers all day long.

Now, there was a new understanding: no matter how cute, it's still a bear!

The Sparkling Girls had been playing around, and by the time noon approached, they arrived to participate in a bamboo shoot picking competition before returning to the Panda Restaurant for a meal.

Panda curry, braised bamboo shoots, cold mixed bamboo shoots, bamboo shoot and rib soup!

The color and shine looked incredibly tempting.

Yang Xiaochao gobbled down his food with gusto, Shi Xi closed her eyes and wore a blissful expression as she ate bamboo shoots, and Ran Qingqing scooped up a spoonful of soup, sipping it with a delighted smile.

The girls' enthusiastic enjoyment while eating made the viewers salivate uncontrollably.

"Is it really that delicious? I really want to try it!"

"I'm so envious, I went straight for ordering barbecue!"

"This is agony, the instant noodles I'm eating suddenly lost its flavor!"

"This restaurant looks so great, you can eat while watching pandas!"

"I just went there to eat a few days ago, and it was indeed a great experience!"

If tourists who had visited the Panda Restaurant when it first opened saw this episode, they would definitely say that this was nothing, the best thing was the potatoes grown by the zoo director which were even more satisfying than getting a massage!

Zhuang Ting couldn't help feeling relieved that she had the habit of stocking up on snacks at home!

She opened a bag of potato chips and started crunching away.

Once the girls were done eating to their heart's content and came out from the restaurant, Fang Ye announced their respective rewards.

The team with Ran Qingqing went to feed the ring-tailed lemurs, Yang Xiaochao's team took alpacas for a walk, and Shi Xi and her team went to touch snakes!

Shi Xi and her teammates wailed miserably, gingerly asking if they could opt out of the reward, their antics were simply too comical.

Especially after Fang Ye refused them, Shi Xi and her teammates acted out a dramatic scene of clutching their heads and crying, with the screen background dimming and a faintly melancholic bgm of "The Sky is Blue, with Thousand Paper Cranes Outside the Window" playing.

Zhuang Ting couldn't help but snort with laughter, and the live comments were filled with a unanimous "hahahaha" enjoying the schadenfreude!

Suddenly, the ring-tailed lemurs scattered, leaving the plate open.

With the help of the subtitles, the animal keeper explained that ring-tailed lemurs have a matriarchal society. Females and offspring have priority when it comes to eating and drinking. Males will wait for them to finish before they eat and will also give way to females on the paths.

The camera took a shot of a ring-tailed lemur that had just given birth and the two adorable babies clinging to her.

Zhuang Ting felt it was quite heartwarming to hear from the animal keeper that other lemurs would give way and take care of the ring-tailed lemur that had just given birth.

Then it was Shi Xi's turn, as the animal keeper took them to see a hog-nosed snake first.

Watching the hog-nosed snake's chubby little face move, sipping water contentedly, Zhuang Ting, who was already clutching a pillow to her chest in anticipation of being scared, slowly relaxed and exclaimed in surprise, "It actually doesn't seem scary? It's even kind of cute?"

Listening to the animal keeper, they learned that the snake would first attempt to scare any threats and, if unsuccessful, would play dead. This snake's cowardly behavior felt so hilarious!

Reading the viewers' comments revealed they shared the same sentiment!

"It's really cute, not scary at all."

"Why do I find it a bit endearing?"

"Even though I'm afraid of snakes, I think I could touch this one!"

The viewers' impression of snakes improved significantly all of a sudden!

After Shi Xi had touched the snake, they filmed a scene of her being interviewed: "A snake's skin is not slimy, cold, and greasy as one might expect; on the contrary, it has a comfortable feel, like jade. Touching it and watching it curiously flick its tongue in and out, looking around, I could feel it was very friendly, and my fear eventually dissipated."

Zhuang Ting, after watching this segment, felt like she hadn't seen enough and rewound to watch the hog-nosed snake drinking several times!

Next, they visited the reptiles and amphibians exhibit and were amazed by the sight of various gorgeous snakes.

Even turtles and lizards, which don't have particularly fancy appearances, seemed very charming in their naturalistic exhibit settings.

When Shi Xi was petting the ball python, she wasn't scared at all, even draping the ball python around her neck, where it looked like a beautiful yellow scarf.

The camera switched to Yang Xiaochao's side.

Using the method told by the animal keeper, Yang Xiaochao brushed Brother Aotian's fur with a brush. After much effort, she finally managed to make him happy and took him out for a walk.

The BGM changed to a soothing tune with the accompaniment of an acoustic guitar and a soft, gentle female voice singing in the background, creating a leisurely and quaint countryside vibe.

Yang Xiaochao strolled with the alpaca in the sunshine, through the quiet green bamboo groves, walking alongside the stream with the clear sound of water bubbling, and into the beautiful cherry blossom forest where cherry petals fell and butterflies fluttered.

Throughout the walk, there was little talking - just her smiling happily at the camera, embracing the sunshine!

As Zhuang Ting watched these beautiful scenes, she too felt a warm and healing sensation.
