I have a wildlife zoo

Such a distinctive and powerful howl, of course, came from Charcoal.

Lame Leg, who had been lying in the grass, twitched his ears, then suddenly stood up with bright, spirited eyes.

Yarn Ball, above the visitor's corridor, opened her eyes wide and leapt up.

The old wolf Torn Ear, full of vicissitudes, also walked out from his cave.

Doudou lay on the ground, gazing at Charcoal's silhouette, panting, as if every drop of blood in her body had ignited!

All the wolves in Wolf Valley were now looking in the direction from which the howling sound was coming.

Then, they couldn't help but lift their heads and started howling one after another!

There were raw raspy howls like a raging wind, heart-wrenching roars as if they had not loved in a long while, melodious and gentle howls like those of a delicate girl, and jubilant cheers like celebrating a goal, with different tones and pitches intertwining.

Every wolf was fully engaged, singing out their emotions, singing out the life of a wolf.

There was no conductor for this chorus, but it didn't sound chaotic at all; on the contrary, there was a kind of wild, natural beauty that struck the soul.

The wolves' howling interwove and chased each other, carried by the light breeze over the grass, through the treetops, over the lake, echoing in every corner, with the notes sparkling in the sunlight and circling ceaselessly above the clouds!

The visitors in this open-air theater perked up their ears, listening to the wolves' choir, each person's heart deeply moved, with even some having moistened corners of their eyes, as if they were sitting in Vienna's Golden Hall, listening to an orchestra perform Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5"!

After a moment, the wolves' chorus gradually ceased, and with a loud "whew," it turned out to be the visitors all exhaling in unison.

They had been listening so intently that they forgot to take big breaths!

Then they started to exchange their excitement, "Holy shit, this is the first time I've heard wolf howls!"

An outburst of expletives followed in excitement, "Yeah, it's so fucking shocking! When the first howl sounded, I got goosebumps all over!"

"To be honest, besides being amazed by these wolf howls, there's also an uncontrollable fear! My legs are a bit weak. Hey wow, I'm going numb, bro, give me a hand."

"Perhaps this is an awe of wild animals and nature passed down in our genes!"

Tang Xiaoxin showed her arm excitedly and said, "Keke, look, look, my arms are all goosebumps! Wow."

Qian Keke turned around, grabbing her collar and said unwillingly, "Look at the hairs on my back, they're still standing up!"

The visitors excitedly discussed their experiences!

The boss, who believed in wolf culture, also hurriedly asked Fang Ye, "Director, what do the wolves' howls mean? Isn't it said that wolves howl on nights of a full moon?"

Fang Ye chuckled and said, "Wolves can howl at any time, not just on nights of a full moon. Their howls have a wide range of meanings that we humans probably cannot fully understand. It's only by studying them in specific contexts that one can grasp their meaning.

Like howling on a night of a full moon, it might be because the moon is particularly bright, making it easier to hunt. A few howls from the wolf pack can boost morale, serving as a pre-hunt pep talk. In fact, they often howl before hunting.

Howling can also help them stay connected with each other. A wolf's howl can travel several kilometers across the wilderness, helping the pack members identify each other's positions and lead them to gather together, especially when hunting alone or in small groups.

If they find another wolf pack close to their territory, the howl is a declaration of ownership, meaning 'We live here, and if you dare come in, be prepared for war.'

Then there are howls like the ones just now, which don't have any particular meaning, just purely singing happily, bonding with each other. Some wolf families sing together every morning."

The boss sighed, "I thought I knew a lot about wolves, but now I realize there are quite a few differences between these wolves and the ones I imagined! Today has truly been an eye-opener."

He decided that he would visit the zoo whenever he could and even bring employees for team building, to see the wolves and learn the true spirit of wolf nature!

...

After bidding farewell to Fang Ye, the two little girls walked down from the other side of the observation tower along with other visitors.

The last viewing point of the wolf exhibit was up ahead, where one could see the pack of wolves running down the hillside, but after their chorus, Charcoal and his mates had run off again.

I'm completely satisfied!

Watching the wolves was just too awesome.

From the entrance of the wolf exhibit, we strolled around the entire display area, and each viewpoint offered a completely different scene.

Tang Xiaoxin checked her phone and was surprised to find that they had been touring the wolf exhibit for over an hour, and she didn't feel it at all!

Was there some kind of -1s magic spell cast inside the exhibit?

The tiger exhibit!

As soon as we rounded the corner, we saw a bunch of tourists gathered in front of the spacious moat barrier, holding up their phones to take pictures, heads bobbing, voices brimming with excitement, the atmosphere lively!

Qian Keke asked with curiosity, "What's going on here?"

"Don't know, let's go take a look!"

Both of them were on the shorter side among their middle school peers, and when they walked up to the barrier's railing, it was just the right height for them to rest their chins on it.

Looking over the top of the shrubs, they saw a large and a small tiger on the grassland about a dozen meters away!

The little tiger looked as if it were a carefree chocolate ice cream, chubby and spirited, playing happily!

The big tiger boasted a coat of yellow, mottled fur, laying on the grass, gazing gently at it.

"Ah! Ice Cake!" Tang Xiaoxin exclaimed excitedly!

But it seemed to have grown a lot since I first saw it!

How can this little tiger grow so fast, like a balloon being inflated?

Qian Keke instantly fell in love with this lively and playful little tiger, her eyes sparkling with hearts, "Is this Ice Cake? So cute!"

She knew that Tang Xiaoxin had petted little Ice Cake and even took a lot of beautiful photos, and she was so envious, but now she could finally see it for herself.

Ice Cake had grown quite a bit now, its body length reaching 75cm (tail 27cm), and it was already able to play in the tiger exhibit.

The grassy area was originally set aside for it to frolic; there were a few scattered trees providing shade, and under the shade, there were all sorts of toys.

Such as plum blossom piles, small balls, and so on!

At first, it was a bit afraid of the visitors, but it couldn't resist the temptation of toys, so it would still come out to play.

If it felt overwhelmed by the crowd, it would run off to Jiaojiao's side to hide and act spoiled, waiting until there were fewer people to come back and play.

However, Ice Cake was not a timid tiger by nature; it was reared by humans from a young age and didn't have such a fear of humans. It quickly became accustomed to playing under the watchful eyes of visitors, realizing these tourists could only stand far away and look, unable to do much beyond cheering and shouting.

From time to time, it glanced at Jiaojiao, and seeing its gentle mother always nearby gave it a great sense of security!

When there were fewer people, it would stare at the tourists like a curious baby.

Right now, Ice Cake was attracted by a hanging ball toy!

It was a 1.5-meter-tall "A—A" shaped frame, and a hollow wooden ball hung from the horizontal bar by chains.

With blue eyes fixed on the swaying ball, it suddenly stood up, balancing on its hind legs, its front limbs hugging the ball, mouth open wide, "Awooo," it bit down on it.

However, the wooden ball was too slippery, and it couldn't get hold of it; tilting its head left and right, it bit the ball a few times, but its mouth kept slipping off and closing back up!
