Holding Bubu and accompanied by Yueyue and Kaka, he walked towards the base of Pride Rock, leaving an impressive silhouette behind.
Today, the visitors at the zoo were extremely thrilled!
The little lion stuck in the tree trunk was rescued without harm, looking so adorably pitiful that it was thoroughly entertaining, and the scene of Zoo Director Fang comforting the lion cub was filled with affection.
Moreover, a real-life version of "The Lion King Coronation" was performed, with the soundtrack playing over the broadcast, stirring up excitement in the audience.
The children who witnessed this scene were particularly struck by the impression it left.
Therefore, in the essay "The Person I Admire Most," assigned by their teacher, they wrote:
The person I admire the most is Director Fang of Linhai Zoo. He has superpowers and can communicate with animals who all listen to him attentively.
Once when I visited the zoo, a lion cub was stuck in the shrubbery, and everyone was terribly worried. The animal keepers were afraid of being bitten by the adult lions and didn’t dare to rescue it.
Director Fang came over, greeted the lions, asked them to lead the way, and effortlessly rescued the lion cub. The adult lions showed their gratitude by rubbing against his legs...
Teacher’s comment: Reasonable, but quite absurd!
The teacher had also visited Linhai Zoo and knew about the tales of Fang Ye, the Archdruid.
...
April 22nd is World Blue Planet Day!
Prior to this, the city issued a directive for the zoo to prepare a themed event.
The education department of Linhai Zoo started their preparations well in advance.
Next to the zoo’s square, there will be a series of science education panels related to World Blue Planet Day.
The first will discuss the ongoing crises facing Blue Planet, including sea level rise due to climate warming, frequent occurrence of extreme weather such as floods and droughts, one-sixth of species potentially going extinct due to climate warming, the extinction of polar bears, reduction in the primary diet of giant pandas, bamboo, and their habitat, as well as increased habitat fragmentation, all illustrated throughout the series of panels.
These are topics that have been discussed extensively, but they still need to be propagated.
On the other hand, there’s a call to action for people to protect Blue Planet, including simple tasks that ordinary people can incorporate into their daily lives.
Conserving water and electricity, reducing food waste goes without saying, and other actions include low-carbon travel, using eco-friendly bags when shopping to reduce plastic waste, picking up litter when traveling, and practicing waste sorting.
As a zoo, naturally, the most important call to action is to advocate for the protection of wildlife.
"The program was excellent; my child had a great time today. We planned to leave after the program because of the rain, but my child didn’t want to leave and went to paint instead."
"Linhai Zoo is the best zoo in my eyes!"
"Please do more of these educational lectures in the future. I’ve truly learned a lot."
...
The next day, Fang Ye woke up to an unexpected message from the system.
"Ding, the zoo has successfully held a festival event, allowing visitors to enjoy themselves while increasing their knowledge about animals! Congratulations, host, you have received a Festival Celebration Gift Package*1!"
"Festival Celebration Gift Package?"
Fang Ye slapped his forehead, almost forgetting about it!
The last time he received a Festival Celebration Gift Package was during the Mid-Autumn Festival, wasn’t it?
He had asked the system before whether a gift package could be received for each festival event.
The response was that it would refresh after half a year, allowing for another acquisition.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was at the end of September and now it was the end of April – just about half a year had passed.
Fang Ye opened the gift package with delight, and a pleasant notification sound chimed:
"Congratulations, host, you have received 30,000 green leaf coins!
Congratulations, host, you have received Civilized Behavior Plaques*10!"
Civilized Behavior Plaque: Within a radius of 10 meters, if tourists attempt uncivilized actions such as feeding animals, tapping on glass, using flash photography, littering, or throwing objects at animals, they will be overcome with shame and feel depressed for three minutes, significantly reducing the probability of uncivilized behavior.
Fang Ye’s eyes lit up, "This thing is great!"
A radius of 10 meters actually covers a pretty large area!
He was most concerned about the more delicate and valuable animals in the zoo, like the golden hair monkeys. They could easily be harmed by tourists feeding them the wrong things.
Placing one of these plaques near the golden hair monkey exhibit would greatly increase safety.
And there were ten plaques in total.
By placing a few in the reptiles and amphibians exhibit, it would cover many animal enclosures and deter visitors from tapping on the glass if they see the animals are not moving.
