Apart from Little Cabbage and Doudou, the rest of the wolves approached for interaction. Although they didn't display any particularly obvious submissive gestures, they were generally amicable and no hot-blooded youngster jumped out to provoke a challenge.
Fang Ye let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The integration has been quite smooth, with no intense fights breaking out, so it seems I won't need to step in to mediate! After a period of adjustment, they should be able to get along. We can slowly deal with any issues as they arise."
"Joyful Kelly" tipped a plane!
"Joyful Kelly": "I didn't expect the lives of wolves to be so interesting, I hope they get along well in the future. I can't take it anymore, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to bed first."
"I'm off to bed too, if I keep this up I'm going to drop dead, goodnight guys."
"Yeah goodnight, what time do you think it is in the morning, classic gibberish from Hu Yan."
The night owls couldn't stay up and went to bed one after another, but as more people woke up, the popularity of the live stream gradually increased.
"Yo, good morning, Director, you're up early today."
"Bro, actually I'm late. Just now, the wolves originally in the zoo and the new ones were integrating, probing and standing off, it was really interesting."
"Damn, is there a replay? I'll go check it out later."
"Someone recorded it, you should be able to find it later." Seeing that the zoo had not yet opened and there was still time, Fang Ye planned to stream a bit longer and asked, "Guys, what else do you want to see?"
Viewers suggested, "How about checking on Jiaojiao?"
Fang Ye shook his head, "At this time, Jiaojiao is probably still sleeping in, let's not disturb her. I'll take you guys to see the new raccoon in our zoo instead."
"Huh, a raccoon?"
"Let me see, is there anyone who says a raccoon is the same as a red panda?"
"Haha, surely not! Raccoons with their shifty eyes, they are sneaky as they come, while red pandas are so cute and adorable!"
"I saw a video where a raccoon stole cat food. Right under the cat's nose, it stood up on two legs holding the food and ran away; it was indeed quite thievish and hilarious to watch."
At first, viewers would easily mix up raccoons with red pandas, mainly because they didn't have the concept down.
What kind of bandit or thief was this fat? If these guys tried to rob a bank, it'd be questionable if they could even squeeze out of a van's door.
Their heads remained small, with faces somewhat resembling the red panda's steamed-bun cheeks, though not as round. Their noses were pointed, and their black eyes gleamed with a bright sparkle, revealing a hint of cleverness and agility. They looked quite adorable.
"Goodness gracious, I must say, look at how thin the children have become!"
"Excuse me, what is this new species? I've never seen it before."
"Boss, aren't you running a zoo? How come you're keeping gas cylinders?"
"Hahahaha, gas cylinders killed me, but I have to admit, with the round bodies and black fur, they really do look like gas cylinders!"
"So cute! They look so funny; they don't seem sneaky at all."
"Indeed quite cute, but why are they so fat!"
Fang Ye explained, "Raccoons are one of nature's most famous omnivores. Their diet includes shellfish on the beaches, fish and crayfish in the rivers, nuts and berries in the forests, lizards and frogs in the bushes, small birds and bird eggs in the trees—they eat pretty much anything.
Because they're not picky eaters, they tend to get fat easily under captive conditions with abundant food, especially with likely many visitors feeding them in the past.
If visitor feeding stopped and their food intake was controlled, they gradually would slim down. A bit overweight is not an issue, but this one, looking like a watermelon, is clearly a bit too fat!"
At this moment, seeing Fang Ye carrying the iron plates, the raccoons knew it was time to be fed and began to sit up.
The moment they sat down, the flesh on their bellies sagged downward, tapering from top to bottom, truly resembling a pear in shape.
Some raccoons, expectant, rubbed their hands together non-stop, their soft, flexible paws moving like migrating fish, rubbing all the way to their black noses, while others stretched out their hands, shaking them up and down as if holding a bowl and begging, their eyes pitiful.
And there were those who opened their hands wide, throwing their chests forward as if to say, "Come on, throw all the food here to me!"
"So cute, I want to feed them too."
But there were also viewers who puzzledly asked, "Hold on, is this begging behavior?"
Fang Ye set the two plates on the ground, and the raccoons immediately crowded around the food. They rolled their paws in the plates, washing them like doing laundry, and some while rubbing looked up at Fang Ye, their eyes lively and alert.
