Early in the morning, Fang Ye had finished breakfast and arrived at the isolation area.
"Hey, how are you guys doing? Did you sleep well?"
He squatted in front of the wolf enclosure, greeting them with a beaming smile.
A few wolves got up, wagging their tails and crowded over to the edge of the cage, looking at him with friendly eyes and showing an affectionate attitude.
We slept well, really well! It's just that the cage is a bit small and cramped!
After watching Fang Ye for a while, they slightly lowered their heads or turned their heads aside to avoid staring at him directly. One of the wolves stuck out its tongue, trying to press its head against the railing as if it really wanted to lick his face.
However, letting Charcoal and Mizzle lick my face is one thing, for fostering a bond, but if every single wolf wants to lick my face, it would feel a bit too promiscuous.
Some wolves lay on the ground, eyes fixated on the basin beside him with frowned brows and twitching noses, sniffing hard at some strange scent.
Their puzzled looks seemed to say, "Is it because the smell of disinfectant these days is too strong, or am I smelling something wrong?"
Next to Fang Ye were two basins, one contained a few pieces of dark objects, and the other held several green-colored items.
Ming, responsible for disinfecting and cleaning the quarantine area, had an odd expression as he carefully examined the contents of the basins. Why do these things look so much like shit? No, isn't this actually shit?
The very next second, as he doubted his life choices, Fang Ye tossed the dark feces into the wolf enclosure!
The wolves immediately rushed to where the feces had landed, noisily forming a circle around them, sniffing and clawing at the droppings with great interest.
Let me smell, let me smell!
Move over, let me sniff first!
Ming couldn't help but ask curiously, "Director, what is this for?"
Just when I thought it was about keeping the enclosure clean during quarantine, why throw poop inside? Did the director have a sudden bout of madness?
Fang Ye explained, "This is Charcoal and Mizzle's wolf feces. I'm giving it to them so they can get a sense of their companions' scents they have not yet met. This can make socializing less difficult!"
Ming scratched his head, it actually sounded quite sensible!
After checking on all the newly introduced animals, they seemed to be adapting well, and Mingming seemed a bit more spirited, not looking as listless as before.
[Red panda: Mingming
Age: 15 years old
Mood: Calm
Health status: Fair
Advice: Sunbathe, rest more!]
Fang Ye muttered, "Hmm, not bad!"
If Mingming's condition was still poor, they might need to have Lin Ying check if it needed some medicine or something.
After taking a tour of the quarantine area, he then headed to the office building for the morning meeting, listening to the animal keepers report on the animals' conditions and discussing enrichment plans.
Fang Ye asked, "How are the animals doing? Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
Although he patrolled the exhibits every day, a brief look around didn't reveal much.

In the wild, once animals show any weakness, they are quickly targeted for attack. Even if they are sick or starving, no matter how weak they may be, they always have to muster their strength and exhibit a healthy posture.
Some animals might look perfectly healthy, but then suddenly die one day, and upon inspection, they'd been ill for a long time.
The Eye of Observation could see the health status of animals, but it required more mental effort and made the animals feel uncomfortable being watched, so it relied on the animal keepers who were specifically in charge to closely observe and spot any anomalies.
He Yifei said, "Director, I've noticed that Jingwen seems a little down lately."
Jingwen is one of the red-and-green macaws!
The original codes, like Parrot 1 and Parrot 2, now all had official names.
The male macaws were named Jin, from their species name, and the females took the homophone Jing for their surname.
Based on their characteristics, the artistic macaw was called Jingwen, one that started swaying and lifting its claws at the sound of music was called Jingwu, the one talented at speaking was named Jinzhi, and the one that loved energetic electronic music and could even DJ was named Jin Martin.
