Chapter 421 The Golden Hair Monkey Protecting Its Young!
Grooming in golden hair monkeys is quite interesting!
Big Treasure's head hung low, while Yaya rhythmically pressed and scraped with her two paws on Big Treasure's shoulder, press and scrape, press and scrape, the movements leisurely and gentle, very delicate to watch!
So gentle that it even gives off a feeling of perfunctoriness, as if a student, upon hearing the teacher's command, boredly opens their exercise book and flips through the pages without much care.
However, Yaya's gaze was very serious.
Golden hair monkeys have a more composed temperament, and their grooming is just as unhurried and calm.
Compared to that, macaques grooming feels hurried; although their scraping motion is detailed and attentive, their paws move as if they are striking like the wind, swift like performing acupressure, whooshing quickly.
One-year-old golden hair monkey Little Precious' coat was still somewhat grey, running around beside his parents, tugging at the fur on Yaya's back.
Seemingly saying, Mom, play with me!
Yaya turned her head to look at Little Precious, but didn't attend to him.
I'm grooming your dad right now; I'll play with you later! Go play by yourself for now!
At that moment, Little Precious noticed Fang Ye, looking quite curious.
Fang Ye squatted down, waved at Little Precious, and with a smile said, "Little Precious, hello! Want to come and play with me for a bit?"
Just as Little Precious took a couple of steps toward Fang Ye, Yaya turned her head to glance at Fang Ye, crawled a couple of steps on the ground, and rather rudely extended her arm to pull Little Precious back by the waist into her embrace.

Her face, as if it were covered by a thin layer of light blue facial mask, stared irritably at Fang Ye.
Is my baby someone you can touch?
Big Treasure also sat up straight!
Initially curling his body, head lowered, now he straightened up, revealing that he was much more robust and husky than Yaya, broad-shouldered and round-bellied, pudgy, resembling a bathhouse boss, exuding a strong sense of deterrence.
He shifted his position, blocking in front of Little Precious and Yaya, the corners of his mouth turning downward, with a heavy shadow below his brow, his expression looking very stern, a face full of displeasure toward Fang Ye.
Golden hair monkeys are very protective of their young!
In the animal kingdom, the task of nurturing offspring typically falls on the females.
Yet, golden snub-nosed monkeys are often seen with fathers carrying the baby monkeys, and when facing danger or when an outsider invades, it is the males of the family who charge to the front, protecting their wives and children. They are indeed the definition of a tough guy with a tender heart.
Although they have a golden coat that looks adorable, and their usual mannerisms seem cultured, like a gentleman, in reality, golden hair monkeys are quite aggressive and ferocious when fighting.
Anyone who sees their impressively sharp canine teeth would not think them to be a submissive creature.
If you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you. The fact that they don't seek trouble doesn't mean they're without temper!
Red pandas and panda bears are actually the same in this regard! They look cute, but can actually be quite dangerous.
A few days ago, when an animal keeper was feeding a red panda an apple, Red Bean, eager for the apple, accidentally bit the keeper's palm.
Sharp teeth easily tore through the skin of the palm, blood flowing continuously and dripping, looking very frightening.
Red Bean showed no awareness of having bitten someone, munching on the apple with relish, completely oblivious.
The animal keeper, however, was in so much pain that he immediately rushed to the animal hospital for bandaging. Thankfully, it was only a flesh wound and not a case of losing a finger, which the veterinarian could handle, otherwise, he would have had to go to a human hospital.
Even the animal kingdom's renowned social butterflies with good temperaments, capybaras, can be quite fierce when angered.
At one zoo, a capybara lived in mixed company with spider monkeys, often being the butt of the monkeys' practical jokes.
One time, while the capybara was in the water, a spider monkey went into the water again, intending to tease the capybara. However, the capybara was very swift in the water and seizing the opportunity, bit the spider monkey to death.
It's most terrifying when the usually mild-tempered lose their cool, and it's the same with animals.
So when the keeper and Fang Ye reported the incident of the macaw playing pranks on the capybara, he also gave a few macaws, especially the mischievous Jin Martin, a heads-up to not mess with the capybara too much, and to keep an eye on the younger macaw brothers.
...
Generally, when animals open their mouths, it's a sign of deterrence, but for golden hair monkeys, not baring their teeth and opening their mouths is a gesture of friendliness. An unfriendly gesture is to stare at the other party and make a cooing sound. If the other party dares to stare back, a fight might very well break out.
If someone else dared to tease its child like this, Big Treasure would have already gotten angry and started scolding, maybe even baring its teeth by now.
It's just because Big Treasure finds Fang Ye relatively pleasing to the eye that it only glares at him.
After all, the golden hair monkeys had just arrived, and their relationship with him wasn't that established yet. Fang Ye raised his hands and smiled amicably, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not thinking of hitting your child, I'm totally safe!"
As he quietly observed from the side, Big Treasure and the others ignored Fang Ye and continued grooming each other. However, they subtly hid Little Precious behind them and would pull it back as soon as it tried to sidle up to Fang Ye.
After hanging around for a while to become familiar with the golden hair monkeys, Fang Ye moved on to the enclosure of the black panther Diana!
Diana had been in her enclosure for a while now and had gradually become accustomed to her surroundings, no longer as reactive as when she first arrived.
Hearing someone approaching, her ears perked up and she climbed down from the platform, but upon realizing the visitor was Fang Ye, she lay back down again.
Her black fur looked as smooth and lustrous as satin, reflecting silver and black in the gentle sunlight, while her moon-white eyes gave him a quick glance.
Her long white whiskers made her profile look exceptionally beautiful.
Then she placed her chin back on her black paws, looking completely bored.
I've become nothing more than a wasted panther!
With Fang Ye's frequent visits to check up on her, his rapport with her had risen from unfamiliar to indifferent, and it was almost at a friendly level.
She felt that this biped was somewhat different from the others!
For some reason, she inexplicably had a good impression of him.
Fang Ye waved at Diana and smiled warmly, "Diana, what's the matter, don't you want to move around a bit? You've been lying there all this time."
Diana twisted her head and cocked it to the side as she looked at him, displaying a somewhat puzzled expression.
It was just that she didn't understand what Fang Ye had said. Otherwise, she would have certainly complained, Look at the inside of this enclosure, with such crude conditions, what can I do besides lying on the perching platform and resting?
Fang Ye pointed to a corner of the enclosure, "Isn't there a ball over there?"
Diana glanced at the ball and then turned her head back.
She seemed not very interested!
[Jaguar: Diana

Fang Ye thought for a moment, called Ming over, and pondered, "Do you think Diana is very bored? How about opening the door so I can go in and play with her for a while?"
"Okay, Director!"
Ming opened the door while internally remarking that it was obviously Fang Ye who wanted to pet the black panther!
Yet he pretentiously asked for an opinion. I've seen this situation many times before.
Only the director would dare such folly.@@novelbin@@
Diana looked at him a bit warily!
As Fang Ye approached, she wrinkled her nose and lifted her lips to reveal her sharp canines, and a low rumble like an engine starting up came from her throat.
Her breathing and growling alternated, making her appear quite formidable.
Ming was on tenterhooks, fearful of witnessing some bloody scene, "Director, maybe you should come out?"
What do you think?
