I have a wildlife zoo

Wolves love to play and are very skilled at it!

For these wolf cubs, only over a month old, life is pure and joyful, waking up each day just to play.

Little Black lunged at Charcoal, giving Charcoal a "bite," affectionately using his little milk teeth to nibble Charcoal's big tail.

Another cub jumped up, trying to bite onto Charcoal's neck fur.

Yet another cub used its paws to kick Charcoal's legs and nuzzled against him with its head.

Charcoal, as a burly Big Wolf, looked on affectionately while playing with the cubs, deliberately lowering his body, allowing the mischievous little wolves to behave unruly with him.

Although Mizzle was a very intelligent mother wolf and loved her cubs deeply, she was not as lively, behaving calmly and composedly; even her passionate kisses with Charcoal often seemed quite indifferent.

When playing with the cubs, she was more passive, allowing them to bite her and would lie down to let them jump and frolic on her.

Charcoal himself was playful by nature and was very active and enthusiastic when playing with the cubs.

That's why the cubs preferred to play with their dad!

Surrounded and "attacked" by several cubs, one brave little fellow kept leaping up, trying to headbutt Charcoal's legs.

Seeing its effort, Charcoal cooperatively fell to one side as if the cub had knocked him over!

"Awo~"

The little guy climbed atop Charcoal's belly, lifted its head high and chest out, looking around like a victorious general.

Its eyes sparkled, its little tail wagged non-stop, and it howled triumphantly!

Look, I knocked dad over!

Charcoal lay on the ground, his tail still wagging cheerfully, his mouth open as if he was smiling.

Playing with the cubs was one of his happiest moments!

Mizzle lay to one side, watching Charcoal and the children play with a tender gaze.

Although Charcoal's usual excess of enthusiasm and clinginess towards her were sometimes bothersome, as a father, he did very well in accompanying the children.

Playing with the children is equally a lesson!

In the process of repeatedly knocking Charcoal over, although they knew dad was being easy on them, it helped the cubs to develop a confident and courageous character, to face enemies fearlessly in combat in the future.

Physique is one aspect, character is also very important.

Soon, another cub climbed onto Charcoal's back, starting to tussle and play-bite with the small fellow.

The two cubs entangled together, tumbling off Charcoal's back.

The cubs ran back and forth between Charcoal and Mizzle, jumping and hopping, their tails constantly wagging, resembling adorable little fur balls.

Apart from getting knocked over by the cubs, Charcoal would also slow down and trot in front of them, letting the cubs chase after his tail.

Fang Ye watched the cubs playing happily and couldn't help but feel a tender touch in his heart.

This is the vitality and beauty of life.

The other wolves also watched their play with interest!

Even some wolves wanted to join in, play with the cubs like Doudou, who now lay on the ground, enticing a cub with an exposed belly and scratching paws.

With such behavior, neither Charcoal nor Mizzle would stop them.

When wolves play, all are equal.

After a short while, the cubs grew so tired they were huffing and puffing, as they could not yet maintain such activity for long.

They lay on the soft grass, leaning against the bodies of Mizzle and Charcoal.

Breathing in the familiar and affectionate scent of their parents, and bathed in the gentle spring breeze and warm sunshine, having just played their hearts out, they now fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.

Fang Ye stood up, shared a smile with Charcoal and Mizzle, and waved, "Bye! I'm off."

Charcoal, leaned upon by two little wolf pups, looked at Fang Ye with warmth, passionately wagging his tail.

His gaze seemed to say, "Boss, I'd love to see you off, but I can't leave right now!"

"Mmm, you guys take good care of the kids!"

...

With Yueyue, Fang Ye wanted her to continue being with her children.

Cubs should stay with their parents as much as possible, otherwise hand-raising them can result in missing out on a lot during their growth.

Fang Ye felt that watching her observe how Qiuqiu interacted with the kids and occasionally playing with the little lions, she should feel more maternal.

She was past the highly tense and anxious phase right after giving birth, and the little lion was not as fragile as when it was born.

The problem now was, after such a long time, the scent had dissipated. Did Yueyue still recognize the little lions? Was she willing to keep raising them? The little lions probably forgot Yueyue's scent as well, what to do if they don't recognize their mother?

Normally, to reintroduce the cubs to the group and get them accepted by kin, they'd first need to meet through a cage to familiarize with the scent and see how it goes.

It could be another lengthy process.

Indeed, during this meeting, Yueyue, seeing her cubs, showed certain curiosity, but there wasn't a special closeness.

The cubs, upon seeing their lioness mother, also looked a bit afraid and intimidated.

Ever since they opened their eyes, all they had seen were bipedal beasts and interacting with their siblings.

A foreign larger-sized member of their species! They had no idea what that meant.

However, Fang Ye had a lucky draw last time and just happened to get a prop called "Kinship Spray".

Kinship Spray: Awakens the soul's resonance through the connection of bloodlines.

The effect was vaguely described. What's this soul resonance thing?

Fang Ye, with a mindset of giving it a try, quietly sprayed a little when visiting Yueyue and the few little lions.

After the spray, Yueyue and the little lions indeed behaved differently.

"Awhoo!"

"Awhoo~"

After a moment of surprise, the little lions joyfully began to call out to Yueyue, seemingly crying for their mother.

And Yueyue, looking at the little lions, had eyes that began to moisten, glistening as if she was about to cry.

She lay down on the ground, her face pressed against the mesh of the cage, longing to lick the little lions.

The animal keepers were also quite surprised. After such a long time, could she still recognize them?

To be safe, they'd observe for another day. If this affectionate behavior continued, they could proceed with merging the cages.

After spending a few days with Yueyue, she would then take them to Kaka for kinship recognition.

Fang Ye envisioned the scene of the five little lions running and frolicking on the grassland of the lion exhibit, and couldn't help but smile blissfully!

...

Another two female elephants from the Myanmar Elephant Camp were transported over, with the elephant enclosure's animal keepers accompanying them.

The elephants settled in the back house of the elephant enclosure. As large animals entering the country from abroad, they had to undergo a 45-day quarantine inspection.

Lately, Fang Ye was planning a trip to Qinghai!

Leaving aside the animal clues, he had long been fascinated by Qinghai's snow leopards, Tibetan foxes, and other exotic animals.

He asked some of the big shots he knew in the Zoo Practical Knowledge Group.

The short-eared owl teacher recommended he visit Angsai!
