I have a wildlife zoo

However, looking at the highlands scattered across Gibbon Island, with interconnected roosting trees, the habitat restoration of the dense forest environment is indeed very essential.

The gibbons were swinging merrily from treetop to treetop as if they really considered this place home!

With such an environment, no wonder they were so active.

Passing by the back shed, Fang Ye gave a heads up to the animal keeper, who then blew a whistle!

Two gibbons immediately started swinging through the treetops, "oo-woo oo-woo" they called as they flew back to the back shed, while a few American tapirs also gathered around.

Qingtian, the older brother, stayed in the back shed, while his younger brother, Sunshine, fed him some fruit and played outside by himself. Otherwise, the recording would have been disturbed by having both gibbons together.

Qingtian squatted on the roosting perch in the back shed, his palm clutching the wire mesh beside him. On his black face, a pair of dense white eyebrows sloped downward, giving him a somewhat unhappy appearance.

It was as if he was saying, "I was playing so well outside, why did you call me back to the back shed?"

In reality, White Brow gibbons always look distressed no matter the time.

At that moment, his shiny eyes were quietly observing several strangers outside.

Li Xing had also opened the suitcase he brought!

He pulled out a stand and mounted a large microphone on it.

Then he plugged in a small speaker, meticulously went through some operations to test it, and said, "It's ready! Now playing the call of a female gibbon to see the male gibbon's reaction."

As the speaker played the call of a single female gibbon, Qingtian was stunned for a moment, his gaze somewhat strange!

Not his brother's call? Nor the calls of his parents that he remembered, could it be from another unfamiliar gibbon?

The sound seemed to be coming from ahead!

But he didn't know about the human technological product, the speaker, and thought it impossible for his own species to be hiding in the small box.

He stood up from the perch, looking around, trying to find the source of the sound.

After a while, he sat down again.

Fang Ye, watching Qingtian's actions, felt somewhat disappointed, "Why is there no reaction? Could it be too young still?"

Fan Peng explained, "Maybe the song of the female gibbon isn't quite right! Gibbon songs have a rich meaning, and this song might be about food, so it didn't pique his interest. Let's try playing a few different songs."

Li Xing then switched to another song!

This time, after listening for a while, Qingtian suddenly leaped from the perch!

Catching a dangling rope, he swung back and forth with great excitement, "oh, oh, oh, oh..." making a series of urgent calls!

My girl, where are you! Your beloved is right here!

Right here! Right here!

Just hearing Qingtian's urgent calls, you could feel his excited mood at this moment!

Li Xing initially had a slightly furrowed brow, but seeing Qingtian's reaction, his face instantly brightened, revealing a sunny and hearty smile, so wide he couldn't close his mouth.

Fan Peng was also smiling, squinting his eyes with a look of affectionate pride, just like a father hearing about his child falling in love!

After the initial excitement, Qingtian's calls became "woo oh~~ woo oh~~," sounding melodious and flowing!

He sang with deep emotion, undoubtedly switching to love song mode.

The clouds in the sky were adorable, as if one could climb up along the sunshine; the dew on the leaves in the early morning was adorable, cool and refreshing, soothing to the gibbon's heart; the fruits hidden by the animal keepers were adorable, sweet and juicy with one bite.

I have found many beautiful things in my gibbon life, but the moment I heard your song, I knew none of them were as adorable as you.

I have prepared this love speech for a long time, and I want to meet you right now.

Fang Ye, seeing Qingtian's excited and agitated state, suddenly felt a bit melancholic, sighing softly.

To him, this online romance was destined to be fruitless, merely a backup plan.

All that effort, in the end, was like making wedding clothes for another.

I hope Qingtian doesn't fall too deeply.

Qingtian continued to sing passionately, his beautiful love song faithfully recorded by the microphone.

Li Xing gestured an OK sign with his hand, "All set!"

Fan Peng confidently declared, "This song will definitely touch the heart of the mother gibbon."

Fang Ye said, "Alright, let's go!"

The animal keeper gave Qingtian a banana as a reward and opened the enclosures' connecting door. Holding the banana in one hand and unable to wait to eat it, Qingtian darted out, swiftly climbing from the lower to the upper perch and looking around.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh..."

Where's the girl who was singing love songs to me just now?

Instead of attracting a girl, he caught the attention of his little brother, Sunshine.

Seeing the banana in Qingtian's hand, Sunshine hurried over, eager to snatch it away—so the animal keeper had prepared premium food just for you! You didn't even share a bit with me!

Qingtian slapped his brother and, with a smack, ate the banana.

Dream on, this is mine!

After finishing the banana, he began to bellow "woh-oh~~ woh-oh~~" with his mouth puckered, singing loudly.

To record the gibbons' singing, Li Xing and the others arrived rather early.

The zoo hadn't opened yet, but guests from the hot springs resort were already out for a walk, marveling at the sound.

"The gibbons have returned!"

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but today's songs seem especially moving."

"It really does sound lovely!"

"Seems a bit more cheerful than usual."

Sunshine sat on the perch, looking at his brother, seeming foolish and silly.

"Oh~ oh~~" he called out twice.

What's gotten into you today? Who are you singing that love song for when it's just us two gibbons here?

Qingtian couldn't care less and kept singing to himself.

You have no idea what I just heard in the back shed!

...

Then, Fang Ye took the two visitors to see the green peafowl!

When the little green peafowl was first born, it was like a small dandelion, almost unnoticeable at the feet of its parents, utterly inconspicuous with its dusty grey feathers.

Now somewhat grown, it had lost the fluffiness of its youth, but its appearance was still rather plain.

It was about the size of an Oriental magpie and had become much more agile, running in front of the Peahen Mother!

In front of them lay a fallen log; in the past, it would have detoured around it.

But now, the little peafowl crouched down, gathered some strength, kicked off, and with a flapping of wings, flew right up onto it.

The Peahen Mother hopped onto the log and turned her head to preen her emerald-like green feathers.

The little green peafowl mimicked her, also turning its head to straighten its feathers.

One of them flew onto the mother's back, flapping its own wings, standing on tiptoe on one foot, looking quite proud.

My brothers, look at me, look at me!

However, it quickly lost balance, sliding down to the edge of the log.

Only by flapping its wings a couple of times did it regain its footing and climb back up.

Another one crawled inside a hollow in the log, playing a game of hide and seek.

Fan Peng and Li Xing both erupted in laughter.

"So beautiful! These feathers, they're much prettier than in pictures!"

"The little green peafowl is pretty cute, too."
