Fang Ye reached out and affectionately touched Charcoal and Mizzle's noses, "Go out and play!"
Then, he first opened the door between their enclosure and the outside exhibit!
Charcoal grinned, excitedly dashed out in a flash, and Mizzle followed suit and ran after it.
Next, Fang Ye opened the door of the new wolves from Boulders to the outdoor exhibit, and these wolves hesitated a bit.
Having stayed in the cramped enclosure for so long, they surely wanted a change of scenery!
But they were unsure about the situation outside and whether to go over or not.
A few wolves sniffed around and lingered at the entrance of the passage, not daring to cross it. They peered into the other side from the edge with cautious expressions, resembling kids on a holiday who wanted to watch TV peering through a window, stealthily checking whether their parents had walked away.
"Tch, these wolves are so timid!"
Fang Ye corrected, "It's not actually being timid, leaving the familiar enclosure to enter an unfamiliar passage takes courage! In the wild, being reckless can very likely cost them their lives; necessary caution is a good quality for these wild animals.
Now let's see who will take the lead first! Will it be the older wolves with more experience in living as wolves, or the vibrant young wolves with a spirit of adventure?"
A curious netizen asked, "Director, how can you tell which ones are young and which are old?"
Fang Ye pointed to a wolf with a notch in one ear and said seriously, "Well, actually, it's quite simple! An old wolf's fur appears rougher and duller.
Look at this wolf, the hair on its neck is in tufts, and even the fur on its forehead, eyebrows, and neck, which is supposed to be tawny yellow, is now interspersed with strands of white hair, just like the white hair of an elderly person, indicating that it's quite old.
And look at its pelt, compared with the fur of the young wolves nearby, doesn't it seem more lax?
Additionally, observe the behavior, posture, and eyes: young wolves are more vigorous and spirited, while old wolves walk slowly, aren't as active, and have a more mature and composed appearance."
"Director, you're awesome, I definitely wouldn't have noticed all these details!"
"Desolate Journey" tipped 6 shrimp balls!
"I've learned something, I'll go try it in the wild."
"Brother, don't go, even if you get it right, there's no reward."
"Feels similar to dogs, right? When they get older, they don't move around much."
"The social structure of wolves is quite complex."
Fang Ye continued, "The situation where they're bullied can be resolved, and the most important thing is enrichment. Like our outdoor exhibit, which simulates various wild environments, including forests, waterfalls, streams, rocks, sand, etc. The wolf pack can live very comfortably there, and this can greatly reduce the occurrence of aggressive behavior!
Appropriate aggressive behavior is acceptable, but if Doudou is bullied too much, we'll have to place it in a separate enclosure. However, that would be very lonely for a single wolf, and certainly not as good an environment as the wolf exhibit, so I hope it won't come to that."
"The director really thinks of everything."
Fang Ye smiled, "Animal welfare is about each individual animal, and it's not just about whether a species' living environment has mountains, water, and plenty of food. It's about extending that care to every single animal.
For example, it's like the per capita income of the city you live in; a high per capita income doesn't mean your income is high."
"Damn, that hit close to home!"
"A mouthful of old blood spurts out."
At this point, Fang Ye came to the side of the staff access door, peering through a brick-sized opening to check out the situation outside the wolf enclosure.
First observe, don't disturb.
Lan Li controlled the drone to fly outside through the window, filming from the sky, with a much clearer view than from the peephole!
The drone flying in the sky could also speak to the audience via mobile phone.
"Eh, is the director using a drone for filming? I didn't notice that before."
Some netizens joked, "What do you mean, it's clearly a cameraman flying up to film."
"Hiss, a flying cheater, terrifying indeed!"
Although the new environment was excellent, the new wolves still seemed a bit hesitant to move around freely. They all stopped around the exit, watching Mizzle warily, who stood on a rock, looking down emotionlessly at the wolves, confronting them.
And Charcoal stood underneath the rock, like a guardian deity, with his round and comic eyes wide open, occasionally lifting his head to glance at Mizzle as if asking, "Wifey, what are we doing next?"
Mizzle glanced at him, "Be serious, follow my lead!"
"Got it, wifey!"
