The environment of Shancheng Zoo is very good. Except for the giant panda exhibition hall, which has installed soundproof glass out of caution for treating national treasures, other animals are released into the wild as much as possible.
Fixed venues, semi-open visitor passages, and then built living environments based on the habits of different creatures—such as the red panda venue. The visitor pathways are unremarkable and half a wall up to a person's waist is built next to them. On the inside of the half wall, there is a lush jungle.
The wild environment is simulated quite well.
Every few steps, there are some enrichment toys wrapped around tree trunks and hemp ropes. Red pandas can walk and climb, and interact with tourists up close. It is a good experience.
Although most people are now crowding into the panda venues, there are also many tourists lying down by the wall, looking at the agile and chubby red pandas in the jungle, and exclaiming again with suppressed exclamations:
“So cute!”
“Big and fluffy tail!”
“This color has a bit of orange, I really like it!”
“Look at its round face, I really miss it!”
“It’s coming, it’s coming! Is it willing to be touched?”
The red pandas at Shancheng Zoo are old employees.
Although there are many tourists and it is very noisy, it is not panic at all. At this moment, a familiar person jumped from the nearby tree to the wall that was half a person high, and walked forward with his little **** twisted all the way. The tourists who were walking next to the wall were so excited that they couldn't help but stretch out their hands and touch it secretly.
The guide next to him was still talking: "Our red panda is very sensitive. When you touch it, you must be gentle. Don't touch the head. Don't scare it suddenly. It will bite..."
Although the explanation is very clear, isn’t the red panda really trying to seduce people by walking back and forth on the wall like this?
Touch it, touch it again, stroke it again...
Several hands passed through its soft yet slightly hard hair. The red panda’s expression did not change, but it made people frown.
The girls who followed also spoke bravely: "Can this be fed?"
The staff member smiled and said: "We follow the voluntary principle. As long as the red pandas are willing to eat, they can be fed. The feeding project here starts at 300 yuan. For 2,000 yuan, you can enter the exchange area and enjoy the fun of being surrounded by red pandas."
His!
The girl who asked the question immediately fell silent.
“It’s so expensive to volunteer!”
“300 can only feed one person, right? Forget it, 300 is almost enough to order a single meal at Changleju…”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuah my fun is not worth 2000…”
Song Tan was listening with interest and found that Qiao Qiao's new friend was really interesting, so he turned to ask Lu Chuan: "Billionaire, do you want to say that 2,000 is not expensive?"
There was a smile in Lu Chuan's eyes: "2000 is indeed not expensive. However, according to your consumption philosophy, then spending money on food, clothing, housing and transportation is the most cost-effective, and if you spend it on emotions, then it depends on the individual."
“For example, if Qiaoqiao pays the 2,000 yuan himself, he will feel distressed and cry, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao nodded heavily: "300 is really too expensive! Don't be sad, little sister, I can feed you! You can watch when I feed you!"
New friends: “…”
After a short while, the staff helped to dispose of the carrots, and while taking him to the wall, they also said: "The boldest red panda is called Orange. It likes to eat sugar oranges the most. Recently, sugar oranges are so popular." It can’t be bought anymore, and it can only eat one a day. The one we prepared is this carrot. I don’t know if it likes it.”
Qiaoqiao became confident: "I love food! Even Maomao loves to eat!"
Although giant pandas and red pandas are very different in size and appearance, their diets are quite similar. The staff laughed when they heard this: "Okay, let's try it."
The whole small group in the zoo knew that today there were bamboo shoots worth 20 yuan per kilogram for the pregnant Linlong, and carrots and cabbage worth 6 yuan per kilogram for Maomao. It turns out that their red pandas can also eat them!
At this moment, Qiaoqiao was already carrying a stainless steel basin with pieces of carrots in it. The green and fluffy carrot heads were still placed on the side, which looked particularly attractive.
As expected, the boldest orange immediately climbed down from the enrichment props next to it. Its fat tail swept the tourists' hands along the way, making them feel itchy.
As for Qiaoqiao's feeding, she strictly followed Lu Chuan's instructions: not to take the initiative, not to force her, not to be sudden.
At this moment, the basin was in his hand, and the carrot pieces were quietly handed over to him. Orange stared at it for a while, and then stretched out his paws to hug it - during which his tail was quietly touched by the girl next to him.
Red pandas eat as delicately as giant pandas. They are even very good at grabbing carrot chunks with one hand, then stuffing them into their mouths and chewing them...
The only difference is that their mouths are smaller and they eat slower.
The staff on the side were a little surprised - these 6 yuan carrots really have something to offer!
You must know that the red pandas in their mountain city zoo eat mixed apple meals most of the time. They do not deliberately feed them poor food or do not eat enough in order to win the favor of tourists. You can tell by looking at their chubby bodies. Good.
To Orange, he doesn’t really like carrots very much, but now he is grabbing the carrot pieces with one hand and nibbling them in small bites. Not only is he patient, but he even ignores the harassment from the hands next to him...
Sure enough, you get what you pay for!
The staff was excited—actually, that apple isn’t cheap, is it? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have some more carrots?
The next moment, I saw another red panda running over the wall.
Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately stretched out her hand to hold another piece of carrot and put it there. Unexpectedly, as soon as the other one came over, she saw that Orange had stood up in an instant, with hair all over his body exploding, and his fangs baring, which scared the girl next to him. Don’t dare to sneak again!
“Ah! Is there going to be a fight?”
“No way? I’ve been here before and watched the official video. Don’t their red pandas often eat on the same plate?”
“Yes, is it in a bad mood and wants to hit someone?”
“Don’t tell me, it’s really possible that red pandas fight fiercely and beat people very—”
The words stopped abruptly.
Because Orange had already flown forward and started fighting with the newcomer on the not-so-wide fence!
The most outrageous thing is that neither of them moved their mouths - because they both had a piece of carrot in their mouths!
Just like that, his four claws were kicking so hard that the hair was flying around, and he was twisting around like a cat, but he didn't even open his mouth!
Finally, Tangerine couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to bite it——
.
The remaining quarter of the carrot fell directly into the grass behind the wall, and the orange was instantly sluggish. (End of chapter)
