Chapter 591: New Life at the Zoo!

The two young giraffes were quite nervous when they first arrived. Every morning, Fang Ye would visit them, chat with them for a bit, and soothe their emotions.

In the first couple of days, Xiao Shi and Xiao Shiyi had poor appetites and barely ate.

Gradually, they adapted to their new environment and began eating the carefully prepared feed from the keepers, returning to their normal eating habits.

They started to explore the indoor area, curiously observing their surroundings. They settled down at Linhai Zoo, much to the relief of Fang Ye and the keepers.

...

During this period, Fang Ye also arranged for two adult giraffes to be transported by sea to a nearby port, from where they would be flown in by helicopter.

Hippos, white-browed gibbons, and other animals were also being transported in stages.

They were undergoing quarantine and inspection. Once the quarantine was complete and the outdoor enclosures were ready, they would be open for public viewing.

The system's construction team worked quickly, and the new exhibits were nearly complete.

There were also some rabbits planned to be placed in the small farm area.

With the increasing number of visitors, the alpaca walking activity was introduced, allowing visitors to take alpacas for a stroll. However, there weren't enough alpacas to meet the demand, so they decided to add some rabbits for the children to pet.

Recently, the zoo has been bustling with activity.

In addition to the newly introduced animals, many young ones were born!

In March, several female raccoons became extremely aggressive, chasing away other raccoons and refusing to let them get close. This is a typical sign of raccoon pregnancy.

The keepers moved them to separate birthing rooms, and by mid-May, the baby raccoons started to be born. By early June, the last one was born.

In total, there were twelve baby raccoons!

One raccoon mother gave birth to five babies, which is quite prolific.

The raccoon family suddenly grew much larger, and one can imagine the lively scene in the future.

Besides raccoons, there were various birds!

Swans, mandarin ducks, and mallards, which had been at the zoo for a while, had adapted to zoo life and started laying eggs and incubating them.

The swans were particularly aggressive, acting like they were on steroids, ready to fight anyone who came near.

The keepers had to be very cautious when feeding them, fearing the strong and aggressive swans. If the swans were displeased, they would chase and peck at the keepers, flapping their wings to drive them away.

The flamingos, which arrived later, had just started fighting over nests. However, the breeding season was almost over, so it seemed unlikely they would breed this year.

By mid-June, the green peafowl chicks were also close to hatching!

During the days leading up to the expected hatching time, He Yifei and the birdhouse staff took turns monitoring the green peafowl chicks 24/7 from the surveillance room.

Several cameras were set up from multiple angles, ready to intervene if any problems arose during hatching.

Fang Ye hadn't slept well for several days, dreaming about the green peafowl.

He dreamt that all the green peafowl eggs had broken, waking up in a cold sweat, trembling.

Lan Li groggily opened her eyes, yawning, "What's wrong?"

Fang Ye's heart was pounding, and he wiped his cold sweat, "Damn, I dreamt that all the green peafowl eggs broke."

Lan Li sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and gently patted his back, comforting him, "Dreams are usually the opposite. If you dreamt that, it means the little green peafowls are about to hatch! There's no need to be so tense."

Feeling Lan Li's warm, soft body embracing him, Fang Ye's heart gradually calmed down.

If anything really happened, the keepers would have called him immediately.

Still a bit uneasy, he said, "I can't sleep now. I'll go check on the birdhouse."

Lan Li said, "I'll go with you!"

At 5 AM, the sky was already starting to brighten.

They arrived at the birdhouse surveillance room and greeted He Yifei, "Have the green peafowls hatched?"

He Yifei excitedly replied, "It's hard to see clearly, but it looks like one has hatched! I was planning to tell you in the morning."

Fang Ye's eyes widened, and he leaned in to look at the monitor, "Where? Where?"

Watching the monitor, they saw the green peafowl mother shift slightly, revealing a small, fluffy gray chick moving underneath!

Fang Ye couldn't help but smile, "That's great!"

Lan Li sweetly smiled, "I told you dreams are the opposite."

Over the next few days, all the green peafowl chicks hatched healthily.

They were already following their parents around, looking very cute.

In his happiness, Fang Ye sent a big red envelope in the group chat to share the joy.

While the raccoons' prolific breeding might need to be controlled in the future, Fang Ye was thrilled about the green peafowls and wanted them to breed as much as possible. He could take care of as many as they could produce!

...

The adult giraffes had adapted to the transport cage and were ready to be transported.

Fang Ye personally accompanied them by helicopter, which was a rare experience.

When the helicopter, carrying the transport cage with the giraffes, slowly descended from the sky, the visitors were stunned by the movie-like scene!

The giraffes, being gentle by nature, quickly got along with the two young giraffes.

After this busy period, Fang Ye finally had a moment to catch his breath!

He decided to start a live stream, taking the viewers on a tour to see the new animals and the newborns at the zoo.

He called Lan Li and started the live stream.

"First! First!"

"Wow, the missing person has returned!"

"Director, if you don't stream soon, I'm going to report you!"

"Disappearing for so long without a word, even the production team's donkey wouldn't dare rest like this!"

"Ahhh, I want to see Jiao Jiao! I want to see Bing Gao! I've missed them so much."

"Director, now that you're back, you have to stream for at least three days straight, right?"

Although it had been a while since the last live stream, the comments quickly flooded in!

Other streamers who only streamed once a week and frequently disappeared would have lost followers, but Fang Ye's fans remained loyal.

Fang Ye, feeling a bit guilty, clasped his hands together, "Sorry, brothers, I've been really busy lately! Our zoo has had a lot going on, and there are some things I just can't delegate, so I've been running around like crazy."

"Is it because of new animals?"

Fang Ye laughed, "Yes, giraffes, hippos, gibbons, and also breeding animals. Our green peafowls have laid eggs and hatched!"

"Wow!!!"

"This is the best news I've heard all year! May the green peafowl family thrive!"

"What do the baby green peafowls look like?"

Fang Ye snapped his fingers stylishly, "Hold on, brothers, we're heading to the birdhouse right now!"
