I have a wildlife zoo

Just after Blue Planet Day, there weren’t any pressing matters.

Fang Ye arranged the "Civilized Behavior Plaque" that he had been awarded, patrolled the exhibit hall, and then relaxed with some book learning.

While flipping through his phone, he found someone @mentioning him in the "Linhai Zoo Enthusiasts Group."

Daigo: "Holy shit! An Amur tiger has entered the village and it hasn’t left yet!"

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "What’s going on?"

Daigo posted a Weibo link, live broadcasting the Amur tiger coming down the mountain!

"#An adult Amur tiger has descended into a village

Early this morning, the Baiyuwan Station of the Border Police received an alert that a big tiger was spotted in an abandoned house in Linhu Village, Baiyuwan. The policemen from the station immediately took action to secure the scene and waited for the forestry department to handle the situation. Preliminary judgment suggests it is a wild Amur tiger."

Dirty Hollywood Night: "Shocked, doesn’t that mean the whole village is trembling in fear?"

Daigo: "It’s being live broadcast right now. The Amur tiger seems to have not left the village yet. No one knows where it is at the moment; they are conducting a search."

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "Not knowing where it is, is the most nerve-wracking part! Kind of scary."

Dirty Hollywood Night: "We need a Wu Song to come fight the tiger! /joking"

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "It’s too late to go now /doge"

Lili: "Why would it enter the village? Is it running out of food?"

Daigo: "Who knows! What does the director think @Linhai’s Wu Yanzu"

Fang Ye was surprised after reading the chat log.

Encountering a wild Amur tiger in China was quite rare.

He replied, "It probably strayed into the area! For the Amur tiger, its territory is vast, spanning several hundred to a thousand square kilometers. It might have just come to this area and isn’t familiar with the surroundings, got lost perhaps?"

Suddenly, he was a little puzzled: what’s with the live broadcast of the tiger coming down the mountain?

He clicked on the link Daigo shared.

The background showed a rural setting, with dirt roads and brick houses.

At the end of April, Linhai was already in full spring bloom, while Heilongjiang was still frigid, the tree trunks bare without a leaf, the roadsides lined with withered yellow grass, creating a desolate sense.

Several policemen stood by the roadside, while cars approached from the distance on the dirt road.

Just as he entered the live stream, he heard a woman’s voice, seemingly a reporter, saying: "Yes, we are live, we are live! They are currently checking and a drone is searching for possible locations where the tiger might be.

It’s speculated that it’s still near the abandoned house, but no exact location has been found yet."

In the live stream, there was also footage of the tiger previously captured!

Although it was blurry and the camera was shaking, one could indeed see a magnificent tiger walking through the fields, quickly crossing a dirt road and into another field across the way.

Fang Ye couldn’t help but exclaim, "Holy shit!"

There was another clip showing the tiger lying next to an abandoned house, its body crouched down, blending in with the colors of the weeds and brick, making it hard to see clearly.

The reporter spoke with the people who had just arrived in a car, and then to the audience in the live stream: "For the netizens who have just joined the live stream, you might be a bit unclear, so let me introduce the specific situation.

We are currently located at Group 1 of Linhu Village, Baiyuwan Mountain. Today, we were on a nearby business trip to conduct interviews, and then we received information about a big tiger discovered in an abandoned house. After receiving the information, the police immediately rushed to handle the situation, and we dropped our interview to get to the scene as quickly as possible.

The tiger was previously located at Group 10, but it has crossed the farmland to reach Group 1 here, and it’s presumed to be nearby."

In the live stream, netizens were also chatting through the bullet comments.

"The ecological environment has improved, and even tigers are coming down from the mountains!"

"Indeed, ecological protection has been effective; now Amur tigers are venturing out."

"Amur tiger: So I heard y’all are protecting me now, and I’ve come down for a stroll, what’s the big deal?"

There were plenty of such comments!

Fang Ye immediately felt a strong urge to rant. Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that the ecosystem has improved just because they see something like this? You have to analyze the specifics of each case.

Anyway, his initial guess was that the tiger had probably lost its way.

If the forest were extensive and continuous, how could a tiger appear near humans? The more fragmented the habitat, the higher the chance of a tiger getting lost and wandering near humans, and the less fragmented, the lesser the chance. This has nothing to do with an improving ecological environment.

But having these thoughts indicates that people are at least becoming aware of environmental protection and know that a good ecological environment is something to be proud of.

"That’s one robust tiger!"

"The legendary Wu Song who fought the tiger must have fought a juvenile, not a full-grown one."

"Doesn’t anyone want to slide tackle it?"

"Wu Song fought the tiger when he was drunk, after three big bowls of liquor!"

"The real tiger fighter was Li Kui, who took on an entire den by himself!"

"Brothers, I’m from the next village over, streaming live to find the big tiger for you! Follow my Kuaishou account ’xxxx’!"

"Okay, I’ll send you a gift!"

"Be careful not to get injured by the tiger!"

Fang Ye couldn’t help but frown and cursed: "He must be out of his mind!"

He had thought that if the tiger had come down the mountain because it was lost, it would leave on its own without anyone bothering it. But now, something didn’t feel right, with live streaming and search parties, more and more people heading to the area. The scene was getting livelier by the moment.

It was like when they went to Xining to rescue the snow leopard, the priority was to evacuate the crowd and wait for the professionals to handle the situation.

Tigers avoid humans because they are afraid, and such a public search, even involving live streaming, will only stress the animal out. If it gets anxious and someone gets injured, things would get complicated.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, as if things were unfolding in an unpredictable direction.

At lunchtime, he went to the cafeteria with Lan Li and they talked about the situation.

Lan Li, holding his hand, comforted him: "Don’t worry, both humans and tigers will be safe!"

Fang Ye sighed: "I hope so!"

Arriving at the cafeteria, Lin Ying, Meng Shi, and He Yifei were sitting at a table, all discussing the Amur tiger’s descent from the mountains!

Upon seeing him, Lin Ying asked, "Director, have you seen the news about the Amur tiger coming down the mountain?"

"I’ve seen it, my phone’s been blowing up with messages." Fang Ye sat down and complained, "I don’t know what they’re thinking, broadcasting a live stream when an Amur tiger appears?"

He Yifei expressed concern: "Although a tiger won’t attack people for no reason, no matter how tame, it’s still a wild animal. If it gets startled and someone does something to provoke it, and it hurts someone, that would be tragic."

Meng Shi grimly said: "I’m just afraid that some people are extreme, as soon as they see a tiger they shout about killing it. Having no conflict would be best."

Fang Ye said, "Looking at the livestream comments, most netizens seem quite friendly towards the tiger! They’re saying we should protect it."

Meng Shi: "But not everyone thinks like that! I saw comments saying that the tiger should be beaten up to teach it a lesson, so it doesn’t dare come back."

The few people by the table, upon hearing this, all frowned, showing expressions like displeased, old man, mobile phone!

"What kind of moron is this?"

Although Fang Ye said it was nothing to worry about, deep down he was quite concerned.

Despite Linhai Zoo’s efforts in educating the public, spreading knowledge is not an overnight task, and most people are very unfamiliar with wild animals and have many misconceptions. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a surreal event as live streaming the search for a wild Amur tiger.

Right now, the tiger hadn’t injured anyone, and everyone was laughing and enjoying the spectacle, but if someone got hurt, who knew how quickly public opinion would change.

Meng Shi was scrolling through his phone when suddenly he let out a shout: "Something’s happened, someone’s been injured by the tiger!"
