I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 537: The Wolf and the Raven

The pelican in the water dipped its head and pecked twice in the water.

Its bill struck, emitting a loud noise.

There were no fish in this body of water; perhaps it saw the reflection of clouds on the water’s surface and tried to peck at them?

It swam slowly to the shore, lifted its feet, and somewhat clumsily followed the gap in the fence to walk up onto the jutting bank—The water’s edge wasn’t completely enclosed, and visitors would usually board bamboo rafts here to go to Lemur Island.

The pelican spread its wings, resembling an old grandma lifting her skirt.

In the water, its movements were fairly agile, and its swimming posture was not much different from other waterfowl, but once on land, its bulky body swayed clumsily from side to side.

Turning its head left and right, it looked at the visitors on the shore, slowly folded its wings, and began to walk forward!

Yingying watched as the pelican approached her, originally mustering the courage to greet it.

But seeing the pelican, taller than herself, staring at her with its wide-open mouth as if wanting to swallow her whole, she was suddenly terrified and started to whimper, her heart pounding with fear.

She took a couple of steps back and ran behind Liu Xueqing, seeking to hide herself!

Why are other birds so cute, yet this one so terrifying?

Liu Xueqing and Yingying’s father found it amusing and chuckled softly.

While they found Yingying’s terror slightly comical, they understood that the world of a child was simple, and being afraid of a pelican with such an exaggerated large beak was comprehensible.

Some kids even get scared by peafowl spreading their tails right in front of them.

Liu Xueqing gently wrapped her arms around Yingying, handing her comfort with a reassuring embrace, "It’s okay, it’s okay! Don’t be afraid!"

Yingying’s father, on the other hand, was chuckling beside them, capturing this amusing moment with his camera.

Yingying, still with a sobbing tone, said, "Mama, let’s run!"

"Okay, okay, we’ll go right now!"

...

The wolf exhibit.

Doudou was now lazily sprawled in the bushes, hugging a bone and gnawing on it occasionally.

There was still some meat on the bone!

This morning, when the animal keeper offered food, Doudou wasn’t very hungry, so he quietly buried this bone in the sand to hide it.

Now he dug it out again, hiding away to slowly relish it by himself.

I’m eating meat right now!

Crow: Nonsense, we came because we saw you eating meat, here to rob you!

One crow hopped in front of Doudou, and as it peeked its head forward to peck, Doudou gave it a nasty scare with an open mouth.

The crow agilely jumped back!

In front of Doudou, it took small steps, hopping around, its rear wiggling, as if to say, "Come hit me, you dummy?"

As Doudou watched this crow, while feeling worried, another crow had already quietly flown behind him.

Bowing its head, it sneakily stretched out its beak and snatched Doudou’s tail before tugging it backward!

Doudou was startled, his eyes rounding and his fur bristling. His body sprung up as if shocked by electricity, looking behind him.

The crow behind him was flapping its wings, whooshing up into the air.

The crow in front took advantage of Doudou turning around and swiftly pecked a piece of meat off the bone.

The visitors found it very amusing: "These crows even know how to use tactics!"

"Crows are just annoying creatures! I’ve seen them harass even the giant pandas before, plucking the fur on their rear ends."

"Although crows are one of the smartest bird species, they don’t do anything productive all day long and especially enjoy harassing other animals."

"And those Oriental magpies, too clever for their own good. My balcony socks were taken by them and tossed downstairs, who knows why."

"Maybe they’re playing with the socks?"

"Crows and Oriental magpies are all part of the corvid family! Basically, all corvids are smart."

The two crows then switched jobs, one kept harassing from behind while the other enjoyed the meat.

Doudou was being played and ended up quite distressed, unable to do anything about it.

Hey, I used to be bullied by other wolves in the previous zoo, and now although not bullied by wolves anymore, I’m being bullied by the crows!

After teasing Doudou for a while and having taken several bites of meat, the crows called out contently with a "quack quack" and flew away satisfied.

On the other side, the wolf pups were playing with the baby crows!

The baby crows pecked at the wolf pups’ tails with their beaks, while the wolf pups tried to sneak up through the grass and pounce on the crows suddenly to catch them, frolicking and scuffling. Both lacking physical force, they didn’t really hurt each other.

Charcoal and Mizzle lay not far away, and the adult crows stood on treetops, watching their young play.
