Chapter 749: The Stuck Sesame Glutinous Rice Ball!

"Ah~ Ah~"

The cub, placed on the scale by the keeper, started to cry out.

Lying on its back, its tiny pink paws waved unsteadily, trying hard to flip over!

It looked like a broken sesame glutinous rice ball stuck to the pan.

Where are the panda nannies? Help the baby flip over!

At this stage, panda cubs are very soft, turning into a little puddle when placed down. Their fur is fluffy and a bit messy, resembling a roughly made plush toy, adorably clumsy.

"So cute!"

"Adorable to the point of bleeding (////)!"

"I could eat these little glutinous rice balls in one bite!"

"Haha, it looks like me trying to do sit-ups, unable to flip over!"

"Help it flip over! I can't resist wanting to do it myself!"

"How does such a cute little thing grow up to be so big?"

"Pandas are cute from birth to adulthood!"

"I think panda cubs are cuter than adult pandas."

The little paws of the panda cub waved slowly in the air!

But its body wasn't developed enough yet, unable to flip over, just curling its belly and wriggling was already the limit.

"Good baby, it's okay!"

After weighing, the keeper recorded the weight and gave a bottle of milk!

The milk for Yun Duo and the milk for the cubs are different formulas, with protein, fat, and lactose tailored to the cubs' needs.

Young giant pandas need twice the energy of human babies and five times the protein, which is why panda cubs can grow quickly from tiny, weak little mice to round, plump glutinous rice balls.

Fang Ye instructed, "You take this one back to Yun Duo, and I'll feed this one."

The cub that had been sleeping sweetly in the nursery had naturally already been fed.

The keeper nodded and took the cub away.

Fang Ye sat down, supporting the cub's bottom, and placed it on his lap.

He held up the milk bottle with one hand and started feeding the cub!

The cub stopped crying as soon as it tasted the milk, closing its eyes, its mouth moving rhythmically, drinking sweetly, even its feet lifted in comfort!

Fang Ye's face showed a gentle smile as he fed the cub, his other hand gently rubbing its little feet.

The viewers all smiled foolishly!

"Too cute!!!"

"Haha, so comfortable that its feet are lifted!"

"The director is taking advantage of the situation to touch its feet, what a rogue!"

"It looks so comfortable to touch, I wonder what it feels like! The paw pads must be soft!"

"Jealousy is making me unrecognizable!"

"I couldn't help but pick up my own cat!"

"The director will definitely be very experienced in taking care of his own baby in the future!"

After feeding, the cub still held its paws up, reluctant to let go of the bottle!

Fang Ye supported the cub with one hand on its chest and the other on its bottom, flipping its body from lying on his lap to lying on its stomach.

He gently patted its back, his movements light and skillful.

After eating and being patted, the cub let out a faint tremor of satisfaction, wriggling its bottom, its white dandelion-like tail swaying along.

Someone curiously asked, "Hey, what's that on its bottom?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's a tail!"

"Surprised, the panda's tail is white?"

"Surprised, pandas have tails?"

"What, some people don't even know pandas have tails?"

The viewers were mutually astonished!

However, compared to their bodies, panda tails are indeed very small and inconspicuous, just a little tuft, so some people might never have noticed, leading to the concept that pandas don't have tails becoming deeply ingrained.

Mandarin ducks are similar; many people see them on printed items, thinking they are symbols of faithful love, only to be surprised to learn that mandarin ducks are actually promiscuous, leading to a shattered worldview.

Fang Ye explained, "Of course they have tails!

Newborn cubs' tails are about one-fourth of their body length, but as they grow, the tail becomes less than one-tenth of their body length, becoming flat and covered with thick fur, hidden by their chubby bottoms, making it very inconspicuous.

In 'Kung Fu Panda,' the panda's tail is black, which might give some the impression that panda tails are black. In reality, 99.9% of panda tails are white, though there are rare exceptions with black fur on their tails.

The tail is very important for pandas; it can be used for being cute, sitting on it, and when with other pandas, they can play by biting each other's tails!"

"Haha, really?"

"That sounds like a joke!"

Fang Ye laughed, "Actually, the real function of the tail is to spread pheromones, communicating with other pandas. During mating season, you can often see pandas with their tails up, rubbing their bottoms against walls and trees."

After patting the cub, he placed it back on the cushion!

He tidied the cushion, and the cub quickly fell asleep.

In its dream, it smacked its lips, perhaps dreaming of something good.

Fang Ye said, "Now the cubs' daily routine is eating and sleeping. Let's go see some other animals!"

"I want to see koalas! Koalas!"

"Koalas are super cute!"

The koalas had already been transported over, but the quarantine period for imported animals is quite long, so they hadn't been displayed yet.

The koala exhibit, themed around Australia, was next to the African animal theme.

The construction was very simple, similar in size to the red panda exhibit, with some green plants and a few perches.

Koalas spend most of their time in trees, sleeping up to 20 hours a day, rarely coming down.

They can be said to be even lazier than pandas!

The only thing to watch out for is the humid and hot climate near the sea, which koalas need to adapt to. High temperatures are fine, making them feel at home, but high humidity can be uncomfortable, so the exhibit includes dehumidifiers.

Fang Ye smiled, "Alright, let's go see the koalas!"

Arriving at the koala exhibit.

A koala was seen lying on a tree perch, sound asleep.

The koala was sitting at the fork of the tree, its body curled into a round ball, with its paws resting on the tree fork, face buried in its arms!

Even though the sun was shining brightly, it slept like a lazy pig, very sweetly.

Covered in thick, soft, dense gray fur, with a round body, chubby face, and fluffy big ears, it looked adorably silly.

"Wow!"

"Resting on its paws, so cute!"

"I don't know how beautiful Sleeping Beauty is, but a sleeping koala is really cute! I want to touch its face!"

"Haha, touch it and it will wake up, turning into a koala prince?"

The viewers enthusiastically sent bullet comments!

Koalas are very rare animals. Previously, only one zoo in the country had them, so most people never had the chance to see one.

Seeing koalas now, they naturally burst with excitement.
