I have a wildlife zoo

Shuaishuai rolled over, his chubby body leaped lightly, and pounced forward!

He wanted to catch his own tail, but the tail was no longer where it had been, resulting in a futile pounce.

Zhuang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shuaishuai engaging in a battle of wits with the air, thinking to himself, "So cute! Playing with oneself and still having so much fun. However, I wonder how such a silly little animal as the red panda manages to survive in the wild?"

Looking at its soft, plump black belly and its fluffy big tail, he really felt an urge to give it a good pat.

Next to him, an old man leaned forward with his hands behind his back, eyes close to the glass wall to get a better look. He turned his head and said to another short, plump old man with a chuckle, "Eh, my favorite is this little red cat, so chubby and fun to watch."

The short, plump old man, with a smile like Maitreya Buddha, wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, indeed!"

"Eh, which one do you think this is?"

"Definitely Chestnut, I watch him play often, I can't be mistaken."

The two old men chatted excitedly, having lived an ordinary life, they found new delight in chasing after these little animals in their elder years.

Shuaishuai lay sideways on the ground, wrapping around a perch, and poked his head out from behind it. Suddenly, he saw several visitors outside smiling at him, blinked his circle of pure white eyes, and held his paws mid-air, unsure of where to put them, he was momentarily stunned.

He pulled his head back a little bit behind the perch, hiding his nose, cocked his head to the side, and blinked his two black, gem-like little eyes, sizing up the visitors as if assessing for danger!

However, when retracting his head, he inadvertently caught sight of his own tail and was once again attracted to it.

Getting up from the ground, he walked forward slowly for a few steps, then suddenly quickened his pace and, taking advantage of his tail's inattention, he tucked his head and rolled on the grass!

Lying on his back with all four short legs in the air, he stayed dazed for a few seconds, then slowly got up and did another roll in place.

"So cute!"

Zhuang Xiaobai was charmed, his eyes shining as he picked up the camera, click, click!

Meanwhile, Red Bean stood up on his hind legs, clinging to a slender half-meter tall sapling, and pulled off two fresh young leaves to chew on.

Although it wasn't his food, he was a bit curious about the taste.

After trying it, he found it wasn't very delicious and lost interest. Just then, he saw Chestnut dragging his long tail walking past behind him. Red Bean put his paws back on the ground, sniffed, took a couple of slow steps, and then leaped forward to chase after him.

The two red pandas climbed up a sloped perch one after the other and made it to a large tree, with Chestnut sensing another red panda behind him, he turned his head to look back, curled up in the corner, and made room for Red Bean.

Red Bean, looking at a tree trunk not too far away, placed his front paw on it and gave a light push with his back feet!

He wanted to use this force to transfer to the trunk.

But being a little clumsy, his plump backside plummeted down, even bumping Chestnut's head in the process, and he nearly slid down from the air.

Fortunately, his hind paw grasped onto something in time, allowing him to stabilize and return to the trunk, and he continued to climb towards higher grounds.

Chestnut waited for Red Bean to pass before turning into the rope ladder.

Stepping on the wooden boards of the rope ladder, which swung gently, Chestnut walked leisurely, a backdrop of the clear blue sky and the pale golden morning light shining on his reddish-brown fur, looking particularly attractive.

The old granny among the red pandas, Mingming, because of her age didn't like to climb much, and at this time she was on the ground licking her paws and rubbing her eyes to wash her face.

Seeing the adorable red pandas always made one's mood much better.

Zhuang Xiaobai joyfully watched the red pandas for quite a while, took many photos, and then moved on.

Monkey Mountain!

Zhuang Xiaobai arrived here, took in the environment of the exhibit, and found it to be pretty much like a regular zoo, lacking a wild environment; there was only a stone mountain inside.

The place was slightly better than an ordinary zoo in that there were a few more perches and rope bridges resembling swings to play on.

Somewhat disappointed, "It can't compare at all with the exhibit halls I've seen before."

This point was also mentioned in the Linhai Zoo guide; however, a new exhibit area was reportedly under construction.

Resting her hand on the railing, looking into the exhibit, she could see the figure of a macaque particularly clearly. Its build was robust, with bright and spirited eyes, and its short tail perked up. It strutted around the exhibit area with an air of brash confidence.

Upon arriving at a spot, it snapped its head around, once one way and then the other, appearing fiercely energetic. Where its gaze fell, no macaque dared to meet its eyes directly—all of them slightly bowed their heads, shrinking their necks.

Zhuang Xiaobai, witnessing this scene, guessed, "Could this be the Monkey King?"

Indeed, this macaque was the new Monkey King, Black Claws!

Since White Brow left, there hadn't been a single macaque that could stand up to Black Claws; hence, he was now wildly out of control.

Up on Monkey Mountain, a few female macaques huddled together, grooming each other's fur.

Monkey King battles didn't really concern the female macaques, so they were relatively calm.

A female macaque, A, lay sprawled on the ground, legs splayed, side-eyeing the vainglorious Black Claws, while another female, B, was picking through the hair on its head, meticulously checking for lice or anything similar. B's child, a little macaque, was also earnestly imitating, picking at A's leg hair, although its movements were clearly less skilled than B's.

Another female macaque, C, because no one was grooming her, sat squatting to the side, combing her own fur on her arms.

A male macaque noticing this moved closer, intending to help groom C.

If White Brow had still been around, it would have never dared to touch the boss's woman; White Brow's longstanding authority was etched into its mind.

But with the new Monkey King, Black Claws taking charge, it was less concerned. Who wouldn't want to get close to a female macaque?

Now that stirred up trouble!

Black Claws's head swung around and, upon seeing a male macaque attempting to approach a female, immediately flew into a rage, bellowing loudly as he charged over.

Scumbag, they are all my wives!

Actually, they were not.

Of the three female macaques, only one presently showed a willingness to be with him. The two had already shamelessly gotten cozy. Another was ambiguous, neither warm nor cold. B, who had a child, wasn't looking for a mate at the moment and would hide far away with her youngster whenever Black Claws approached, signalling a clear rejection.

But Black Claws already regarded the few female macaques as his forbidden fruit; no other monkeys could even think of touching a finger to them.

Black Claws, seething with anger, chased after the male macaque, which became panicky and fled at top speed without any intention to resist.

Big brother, I didn't mean it like that, I really wasn't trying to get with your wife, no wait, goof around!

I'll beat you to death!

Black Claws ran wildly in pursuit, and after catching the monkey and scratching it a couple of times, he heard it "squeak, squeak," pleading for mercy and seeming to say it wouldn't dare again. Only then did he stop.

The beaten male macaque sighed with relief and quickly made its getaway.

Black Claws, observing the other monkeys' fearful gazes, proudly let out a loud cry, basking in his authority.

You see that, I'm the biggest badass here!
