I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 513: Which One Is The Real Mother?



```

Fang Ye said, "I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but when the golden hair monkey walks, its tail curls up, with the front end resting on the side of its waist."

Big Treasure walked up to the perch, stood up, grabbed the rope, and climbed up, sitting on the broad perch, lazily basking in the sun.

Yaya followed back and sat beside Big Treasure, her gaze intent as she gently combed its fur with tender paw movements!

Big Treasure, being groomed by his mate, appeared very content.

As she groomed him, Big Treasure shifted position, turning his body to let Yaya comb the other side.

Little Precious played with the swinging rope, and seeing mom groom dad, jumped beside Yaya, imitating her actions by parting the fur on Yaya’s back and helping to groom her for a bit.

However, Little Precious, being young, lacked the patience of an adult, and after only a few strokes, he scratched his own foot and even bowed his head to sniff his foot.

Turning his head to look around, he saw Yaya and Big Treasure immersed in their own monkey world, ignoring him. He then did a backflip from behind them, flipping over his parents’ tails.

Yaya, in the midst of grooming, glanced sideways at the sight, casting a glance at him.

Little Precious then raised his paw over his head in a pose like set for a standing long jump, and jumped nimbly down from the perch to play with Leelee.

Leelee held Little Precious in her arms and sat on a stone below, also beginning to carefully groom him.

For primate animals, grooming is a very important social behavior!

Humans like petting cats and dogs, incessantly touching their fluffy fur, perhaps inheriting this trait from our ancestors.

"This family looks so cozy."

"These days, even monkeys have mates, and here I am, still single! /facepalm"

"Grooming the golden hair monkey feels like when I look for white hairs on my classmate’s head!"

"Are you trying to make me laugh to death, I have to say, it does look pretty similar!"

"Eh, director, speaking of this little monkey, which one is its mother?"

Fang Ye said, "I won’t tell you just yet, why don’t you guys guess first? After you guess, then I’ll tell you the correct answer."

"They all look alike, I can’t tell who it resembles at all! I can only guess randomly, I’ll guess the one on top."

"It must be the mother monkey grooming the little monkey now! Look how affectionate they are."

"I think it’s the one on the perch! It’s because of the child that it has such a close relationship with the male monkey, grooming it and staying by its side."

"I think both guesses make sense... /lolcry"

The netizens immediately took to enthusiastic guessing.

Fang Ye watched the barrage of comments, noticing that most netizens guessed that the mother monkey grooming Little Precious was his mother.

He revealed the answer, "The mother monkey above, Yaya, is Little Precious’s mom! Leelee, who is grooming him now, is his auntie."

"Ah? I guessed wrong!"

Fang Ye laughed, "Usually, Little Precious spends more time with Leelee, but golden hair monkeys have ’aunty behavior’! Even if the young monkey isn’t their own, mother monkeys are very caring, especially with infants. They often gather around the little ones, wanting to touch them, to kiss them. If not satisfied, they will try to snatch the infants into their own arms, and sometimes even nurse them.

Such enthusiastic behavior allows infants to grow up with the collective care of the group, getting used to community life, while the monkey mothers get time to forage for food. Meanwhile, the younger mother monkeys can also get a head start on learning how to care for children."

"Wow, that’s so loving!"

"That’s why I love watching monkeys the most when I go to the zoo, regardless of the type of monkey. They seem smart and agile, and their social interactions are very similar to those of humans."

Fang Ye watched the family grooming each other but did not disturb them.

He waved his hand, "Bye! I’ll come to see you again next time."

"Director, where to next?"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Ye said, "Our zoo has had a black panther for quite a while now, but she usually likes to hide and isn’t very keen on making appearances. Let’s go see the black panther. She should still show some respect for me!"

They arrived at the leopard exhibit.

The online viewers looked at the environment of the leopard exhibit, lush with trees and dense grass, and couldn’t help but comment, "In this environment, seeing a leopard would be like seeing a ghost!"

"But this should be quite comfortable for leopards to live in, right?"

Lan Li followed Fang Ye into the leopard exhibit, feeling somewhat nervous as she took in the surroundings!

She feared that a black panther might suddenly leap out at her, holding her phone in one hand and clutching the hem of Fang Ye’s clothes with the other, sticking close behind him.

The leaves rustled as the wind blew through them, startling her with a jolt, and she whipped her phone around!

Left, right, up, down—nothing!

The shaking of the camera unexpectedly created a suspenseful film atmosphere.

The viewers were influenced by this atmosphere, holding their breath with apprehension, and swallowed nervously!

Fang Ye took Lan Li’s hand and smiled, "It’s alright!"

He called out, "Diana?"

While calling, he began searching around the leopard exhibit.

It didn’t take long before he found her.

Diana wasn’t hiding in a tree but was openly lying on a perch near the pond.

Having spent so much time in the leopard exhibit, she had gradually become familiar with the environment and didn’t mind coming out to move around when there were fewer people.

Like a kitty, she curled up into a ball, her face buried in her backside.

Her eyes opened, ears erect, watching him warily, or more precisely, watching Lan Li. Stay tuned to NovelBin.Côm

Fang Ye tossed a reassurance and greeted lightly with a chuckle, "Hello?"

Diana’s ears, previously standing alert, immediately relaxed into airplane mode, and her eyes began to half-close as she prepared to go back to sleep.

"Such a lazy cat!"

Fang Ye extended his hand and stroked Diana’s cheek with a jovial laugh, caressing her fine whiskers!

Diana pressed down on Fang Ye’s hand in mild annoyance.

Stop it, I want to sleep!

Fang Ye took the opportunity to grasp Diana’s paw, scratching her soft pads.

Diana opened her mouth and bit down on Fang Ye’s hand.

But it was a playful and gentle nibble, not biting down hard, and she let go right after biting.

Disturbed by Fang Ye in this way, she lost the heart to sleep again and reclined on the perch, one paw in front of her and the other in her mouth, slowly licking her black fur on her paw and arm with her tongue.

"Such a seductive pose!"

"The eyes are really beautiful! Like the moon, no wonder she is named Diana."

"Rare sighting, I’ve been to the zoo five or six times and have never seen a black panther! Finally, I’ve seen her in all her glory."

As Fang Ye petted Diana, he smiled and said, "Isn’t the black panther beautiful? If you look closely, you can see the patterns on their body.

Black panthers are not purely black; like the White Tiger, they still have their own patterns, but they become hard to see from a distance after darkening, giving them a purely black appearance."

"That’s true!"

"It’s my first time knowing that."

Diana licked her paw and sat up from the perch, her head swinging from left to right, the motion traveling from her head to her backside, and her tail hanging below the perch also began to sway!

After a bit of activity, she leaped down from the perch.
