I have a wildlife zoo

"Oww~"

At Mizzle's howling, the wolf pups scampered over to her!

Mizzle walked towards the animal house, with Charcoal running at the front like a vanguard!

Head held high and chest puffed out, he looked very spirited.

The wolf pups followed Mizzle at a slow pace. On one hand, they couldn't keep up because they lacked the stamina, making their walking speed relatively slow, and on the other, it was their first time outside with lots of new things to attract their attention!

They occasionally bit at the grass leaves, sniffed around the stones, smelled the tree roots, and roughhoused with their siblings.

Such a scene looked just like a family outing, relaxed and warm.

Yang Yue widened her eyes, her tone reluctant, "Eh, why did they suddenly leave?"

Jiang Lan said, "I haven't had enough of watching them yet! The wolf pups are so interesting!"

Liu Wei suggested, "Let's go, go, go, let's watch something else."

Soon they reached the observation deck of the lookout tower, and the animal keeper Zhang was there too, reminding the new visitors to keep their voices down so as not to frighten the mother wolf and her pups.

The group observed Mizzle's family's movements with curiosity!

The black wolf pup seemed not very well-behaved, always getting distracted by something and lagging behind the rest.

One wolf pup clung closely to Mizzle all the time, sticking nearest to her and only taking time to sniff around when she stopped. The other two wolf pups were slightly behind, only two or three meters away.

Mizzle kept an eye on her children, pausing whenever she noticed one had strayed too far, waiting for them to catch up!

Little Black Wolf really liked the outside environment, always falling behind.

Perhaps every child has had such an experience!

Like going to a best friend's house, chatting and playing with toys together and not wanting to go home even late into the night, or even wanting to sleep over.

Or being at a toy store in a shopping mall, seeing all kinds of dazzling toys, and not wanting to leave no matter how much the parents tug.

Little Black Wolf was in exactly this state, tender green leaves, the gentle breeze, black tree bark—all these fresh things were far too interesting, and he wished he could stay outside forever.

After patiently waiting for him a few times, Mizzle finally led the other pups back without paying him any further attention when Little Black Wolf continued to dawdle.

Little Black Wolf, having fun, suddenly looked up to realize that his family was nowhere to be seen!

He turned his head left and right, a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, and quickly panicked!

Oww!

He let out a loud cry of fright.

Oww! Oww!

The pitiful howl echoed throughout the wolf exhibit.

Mommy, mommy, where are you!

The onlookers felt their hearts wrench.

"Poor little pup!"

"What's going on?"

"Why did the mother wolf leave him behind? Didn't she notice one of her children was missing?"

"Yikes, that's too careless, isn't it?"

"Mother wolf, come back!"

"Animal keeper, what should we do about this wolf pup?"

Zhang, who interacted with the wolf pack on a daily basis, was very familiar with each wolf's personality.

If Charcoal were leading the children, he might have lost one due to carelessness because he didn't count them properly, but Mizzle, cautious and wise, who raised her children with great care, would absolutely not make such a mistake.

After sorting his thoughts, he said to the visitors, "Mizzle is extremely attentive, she wouldn't fail to notice a missing child. As everyone saw just now, when the wolf pup was lagging behind, she looked back several times and waited before she went off."

The visitors paused, pondered the meaning of his words, and were flabbergasted!

"You know but don't care?"

"The little wolf cub has been abandoned, its mother doesn't want it anymore?"

"I'm shocked, I thought the wolf mother was very gentle, but she's so cold-hearted!"

"Oh my, the little wolf cub is so pitiful! Just for staying behind to play, it got abandoned!"

Zhang explained, "It's not really abandonment, but rather Mizzle is teaching her child in this way, giving it the first lesson in the life of a wolf, letting it know the rules of the pack!"

"A lesson?"

"That's right, think about it, if in the wild, the pack needs to move to a new location, and the cubs keep falling behind because they are leisurely playing, wouldn't that delay the whole pack's movements, making everyone go hungry.

The cubs can play, Mizzle set no limits, didn't scold or urge the little wolf cub to hurry up and catch up, or even patiently stopped a few times, each time waiting a substantial amount of time.

However, this exploration, this self-reliance has limits! It also has to consider the whole team.

After three strikes, Mizzle just took the other children and left, letting this little wolf catch up on its own, so the next time when they go out for activities, the little wolf cub will know the boundaries of action, and will understand to abide by the rules."

Everyone was astounded!

"Is this how animals educate their young?"

"So clever, no, such a wise wolf mother!"

"Do wolves establish their discipline from a young age?"

"It's amazing!"

Now that they knew this was Mizzle teaching her child, watching the little wolf cub howling "ow-woo! ow-woo!" in distress, tumbling and running in the direction where its family had disappeared, the onlookers no longer felt sorry for it but started whispering encouragement for it softly.

"Go for it! Go for it!"

"Little wolf, you can do it!"

"Hurry and run back!"

At the entrance of the passage, Charcoal's figure appeared!

Like a gust of wind, it ran up to Little Black, wagged its tail, barked once, and then quickly ran back.

Although Mizzle was usually gentle with her children, she knew when to be strict, and not even pitiful cries from the cub at the back would make her turn around.

Charcoal still loved the children very much and ran out especially to give Little Black a boost in confidence.

Little Black was thrilled, stopped crying, and friskily ran after Charcoal back home.

When everyone saw Little Black return, they all applauded, rejoicing in the growth of the little wolf.

...

Leopard exhibit!

When Liu Wei arrived there, it was already the afternoon.

Some had spent the morning visiting and felt they had seen enough, heading back at noon, while a few classmates were spread out, visiting their favorite sections in groups of twos and threes.

Like the wolf exhibit, the leopard exhibit was also built against a hillock, but the terrain here was steeper.

Covering an area of 1,000 square meters, and due to the mountainous terrain, the actual surface area is certainly larger than that of flat land, and the plants are mostly indigenous to this region.

Some modifications had been made on this basis, with more green plants added, fallen trees placed, rocks, a sandy area, and a small pond, whose water's edge was also very lush, with tree trunks submerged in water.

Leopards are very good at jumping, so there's a metal net covering the top of the exhibit area.

A glance at the exhibit area leaves the deepest impression of the lush trees and shrubs inside.

Essentially the whole exhibit area is green as far as the eye can see.

As leopards are animals that naturally seek concealment, they prefer to stay hidden among the bushes and trees.

The exhibit area suits the leopards' habits very well, focusing on concealment; a leopard may move through the foliage to the pond to squat and drink water, and visitors might not even notice it without looking carefully.

Liu Wei widened his eyes, looked carefully for a long time, and couldn't find where the leopard was hiding!

Eventually, he had to give up helplessly.
