I have a wildlife zoo

In the eyes of the male boss, the characteristics of a wolf are wild, cruel, greedy, and tyrannical!

What's called "wolf culture" is the application of these wolf characteristics in business.

Be greedy for success, endlessly strive for it; face difficulties at work with ruthless elimination; when pioneering, be wild, fight as if your life depends on it! In adversity, show no mercy, not even a hint of kindness.

There's also the discipline of a wolf, the obedience of a wolf, the team spirit of a wolf...

It had never occurred to him that such a wild, cruel, greedy animal could also play?

Fang Ye was amused: "Of course wolves play! You see, not only do they play, but they also enjoy it a lot!"

The boss became even more perplexed! Could it be that my impression of wolves is wrong?

A tourist nearby overheard and could not help but assert confidently, "I've read in books, animals aren't playing but are actually training themselves, like in these chases, the wolves are actually improving their physical fitness!"

Fang Ye thought for a moment, "That statement isn't quite accurate; it denies that animals have emotions and the ability to feel joy, believing that all their behavior is about survival and instinctual needs.

It's like our studying, is it primarily for gaining knowledge, improving ourselves, or for finding a respectable job, earning more money? They're not contradictory, right? If we emphasize only the latter, it seems a bit too utilitarian.

Why do animals play? Essentially, it's because they're happy, but in the process, they also develop skills, exercise their bodies, practice social skills, and learn to use their sensory abilities, among other things.

The more advanced the animal, the more common play behavior is and the more varied the types of play.

For example, young wolves discover in their play with peers that if they don't follow the rules, they could get hurt. If their actions are too rough, too forceful, they can injure their playmates, and then the others may no longer want to play with them.

Through play, they accumulate combat experience in advance, learn how to interact with other wolves, and also how to control the force of their bite.

As for adult wolves, in the process of playing, they practice their teamwork skills, their relationships with each other deepen, and they become more coordinated during hunting. Can you expect a wolf that doesn't like to play with others to cooperate in a hunt? Such a wolf will be isolated by other members of the pack and forced to leave, as hunting alone is certainly very difficult for a wolf.

Of course, our wolves have not yet become familiar with each other, so they can't be considered a pack yet. They're mostly exploring on their own, except for the two that get along well and play together."

The crowd suddenly understood: "So that's how it is."

The male boss also expressed his admiration: "Listening to you is better than reading ten years' worth of books!"

Today, he had gained a whole new understanding of wolves.

Another curious tourist asked, "What about circus animals that can ride bicycles and jump through hoops? Aren't their play skills very advanced?"

Fang Ye shook his head, "What happens in the circus isn't play. Play is a natural behavior of animals, they do it because they enjoy it. Circus animals are trained through methods of punishment, it's not a spontaneous act. Such 'play' is not enjoyable; it's actually quite painful."

A tourist expressed agreement with a look of approval, "I've never seen such free and frolicking wolves, it's really a pleasure to watch, much more interesting than any circus performance."

After answering the tourist's question, Fang Ye had some free time, when two little lolitas approached him, cheerfully greeting him, "Hello, Brother Fang Ye!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Fang Ye had also noticed the two little girls and responded with a warm smile, "Hello. Aren't you...?"

Tang Xiaoxin, hearing the question in his voice, looked as devastated as if her parents had gotten her grade wrong, "Brother Fang Ye, you've forgotten my name again! I'm Tang Xiaoxin!"

"Hehe."

Of course, Fang Ye remembered, he just wanted to tease the little girls for a bit, then he solemnly said, "Got it, got it! I won't forget next time! How's your day been, having fun?"

"Uh-huh! The raccoon is so smart!"

"The wolf exhibit is amazing, today we saw so many wolves, and we even saw one in its den! It was so close to us!"

The two little girls chattered excitedly, showing off the photos they had snapped.

"You took some great pictures!" Fang Ye complimented.

At that moment, another visitor approached Fang Ye with questions, so they stopped bothering him and went to the edge of the lookout tower.

Gazing at the open view below and feeling the strong wind blowing, their hair fluttered back, leaving them feeling exhilaratingly refreshed!

The lookout tower was about five meters high, but there was no need to worry about visitors feeding from such a height, as the wolves' main activity area wasn't here.

Tang Xiaoxin noticed that the scenery on the opposite side looked familiar—wasn't that the pond they had seen on their way in?

Curiosity stirred in her heart. Where was the glass wall they had observed earlier?

As it turned out, a cleverly placed clump of plants stood between the lookout tower and the pond viewing point, preventing visitors on either side from seeing each other. However, if one looked closely with a specific goal in mind, it was still noticeable, with faint shadows of people moving inside.

She then couldn't help but laugh, "Keke, look over there!"

Qian Keke followed her gaze and also burst into laughter!

It turned out that at the previous viewing point, visitors were still blindly searching for the wolves, unaware that a wolf was standing right above their heads on a rock. If it jumped down at that moment, it would certainly give the visitors a fright.

Suddenly, the visitors on the lookout tower stirred up a commotion!

"The wolves are running this way!"

"The wolves are coming! The wolves are coming!"

Charcoal and Mizzle playfully ran towards them from the waterfall, with Little Cabbage and Doudou also stirring into action, following behind. They moved gracefully through the woods, leaped over the stream, and ran down the hillside, their fur gleaming in the sunlight like sprites from a mythical tale.

"Wow!"

"It's so beautiful!"

The visitors were captivated by the stunning scene, erupting in a chorus of exclamations!

Fang Ye smiled, cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, and imitated the sound of a wolf's howl, "Awooooo—".

Charcoal and Mizzle on the hillside looked up towards the lookout tower.

"Awooooo—"

A true wolf's howl rang out, clear and piercing, as if the pure, cold moonlight was spilling from the sky.

In an instant, all the visitors fell silent.

Just as the first howl was about to end, another deep and powerful wolf's howl rose, its voice growing louder and soaring to the heavens!

Tang Xiaoxin shivered from head to toe, as if struck by thunder at the crown of her head, sending chills down her spine and causing goosebumps to cover her body!

For some unknown reason, a vision suddenly emerged before her eyes, as if there were a pair of martial arts lovers drifting on a boat along a river, the woman dressed in white, playing a flute, and the man, broad-shouldered and carrying a sword, boldly singing along.

A hearty laugh at the seas, the rolling tides on both shores, I'll only remember today amidst the rise and fall of the waves...
