He drained all of the popularity value and, in the end, got another bottle of spiritual water.
The biggest gain, however, was the knowledge in Animal Behavior Management.
Fang Ye couldn't help but think, "The little White Tiger really is my lucky star! Maybe I should name it Flourishing Wealth."
He was only joking.
If he really gave the cute and adorable little White Tiger such a name, netizens would probably send him blades in the mail.
"Oh right, let's see what names the netizens have come up with for the little White Tiger!"
Fang Ye looked through the comments below the livestream with great interest.
He had previously said that netizens who participated in the naming could win a secret prize, which was actually a tiger plushie.
He gave himself a mental thumbs-up, thinking that this was using resources wisely, truly a brilliant move.
The enthusiasm of the netizens somewhat exceeded Fang Ye's expectations; in a short amount of time, the post already had dozens of pages!
There were all kinds of suggested names: grand, chuunibyou, funny, Mary Sue; and there were even long essays written for short stories.
Even though there aren't specific regulations for naming animals in the zoo, there are a few unwritten rules that have become standard practice.
Firstly, the name should be simple, easy to remember!
After all, the zoo is meant for the general public.
It should also be down-to-earth, not fancy or pretentious—names like Xuan, Zi, Hao, and Han are out of the question.
Yet, overly common names like Iron Egg, Flourishing Wealth, and Wealth are a no-go as well; upon hearing them, people would immediately think of snotty children at the village entrance or barking yellow dogs, making it hard to associate such names with a majestic tiger due to the sense of incongruity.
Many zoos, when they have newborn popular animals, will solicit names from the public.
Some people really rack their brains to get their suggested names chosen, considering meaning and connotations seriously.
For example, they might pick a sentence from an ancient tome like The Analects, like "Isn't it delightful to have friends coming from afar?" and suggest naming the animal "Friends" while providing a whole explanation.
That might get a lot of likes from netizens, "Oh, impressive, it sounds good and has cultural connotations!"
After all, a five-hundred-word essay certainly looks more compelling than a two-word name.
But in reality, zoos don't even consider such names; at best, seeing the word count, they'll politely express their thanks.
In the end, names like Dadi, Nannan, Meimei, and Niuniu—very down-to-earth ones—are the ones that get chosen.
Flicking through the pages, Fang Ye also saw a few names he thought were not bad.
Sugar, Cream, Egg Roll, Cold Skin, Sticky Rice, Yogurt, Ice Cake...
He found himself struggling to make a decision, his expression serious, "Which one should it be?"
After much contemplation.
They might be pondering these profound questions.
While hunting, their gaze becomes very sharp, tightly focused on their prey.
Compared with ordinary wolves, Charcoal's eyes were relatively round, and although he was gazing intently, it looked like his eyes were wide open, a bit silly and funny, quite comical.
Mizzle then stood up and walked over to Charcoal.
Standing together, the difference in their sizes was apparent, with Charcoal being taller and having a broader chest.
However, facing Charcoal who was taller and stronger, Mizzle was not intimidated at all, and with a nudge of her head, she unceremoniously pushed him aside.
What are you looking at? Let me see too!
After being jostled, Charcoal dutifully moved aside.
It's just the animal keeper, what's so strange about that? Look how excited you are!
Once Mizzle saw the visitor clearly, she immediately lost interest and trotted away.
Well, it's boring anyway, might as well run and get some exercise.
This was one of the few amusements they had in their enclosure.
Wolves possess long limbs, which are advantageous for fast running.
They trot along not too fast or slow, their toes barely touching the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water, the posture elegantly agile and pleasing to watch.
Charcoal looked in the direction Mizzle had left, lifting his leg slightly, seemingly hesitant.
This...this animal keeper is so much fun!
Turning his head to glance at Fang Ye, he still chose to chase after Mizzle!
Mizzle ran to the edge of the enclosure, turned, and trotted back.
Charcoal immediately moved his head closer, stretched his neck and placed his chin on top of Mizzle's head, rubbing his cheek against her ear.
Mizzle completely ignored him!
She lowered her head and deftly ducked under Charcoal's chin.
Once again, she turned back.
Charcoal, like a piece of stubborn candy, stuck close to Mizzle, trotting alongside her.
After being rejected once, he shamelessly continued to bring his head closer.
Stick together! Stick together, okay?
Hey, you're so annoying!
As they ran, Charcoal opened his mouth wide and clenched Mizzle's ear in one bite.
