I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 459: The Elephant Arrives at the New Home

"Such a beautiful elephant!"

Meng Shi and He Yifei, along with other employees, also came over, surprised by the elephant’s red skin.

At the entrance to the elephant house of Linhai Zoo, the crane had already been prepared in advance!

Fang Ye, with dark circles under his eyes, yawned as he got out of the van.

After two days and nights of rushing around and not sleeping well on the road, he still felt very tired despite having had some spiritual water.

But the time to relax hadn’t come yet.

Unloading the elephant was still a daunting task.

The employees helped wrap the steel cage with wire ropes, and Pingping, seeing this, started to panic a little and paced around inside the cage. Because of the limited space, it could only take small steps.

"Pingping, Pingping~"

Qing was also calling out Pingping’s name at this moment, feeding it a piece of apple.

He tried to pet it affectionately, to close the gap in their relationship.

Food was still effective!

Pingping hadn’t started eating today yet. As soon as it saw the food, it got distracted and began to eat the apple pieces with its trunk.

However, as soon as the cage was lifted from the truck, Pingping got so frightened that its front legs partially collapsed.

The hook moved slowly, and Meng Shi and others held onto a rope for stabilization, until it landed steadily.

"Quack quack~"

Everyone clapped happily.

After landing, Pingping did not stand up for a long time and large tears seeped from its eyes.

This was a sign of the elephant’s stress!

All of a sudden, with a "splash," the tense emotions also stimulated the digestive system, and Pingping lost control of its bladder and bowels, urine and several pieces of feces falling to the ground.

"Ew~"

The surrounding employees quickly stepped back to avoid getting splashed.

Fang Ye didn’t leave, but instead threw a soothing skill and comforted, "Pingping, it’s okay, it’s okay!"

He fed it while Qing now brought over hay, fruits, and carrots for it.

Pingping rolled up the food with its trunk, ate voraciously for a while, then lifted its head and looked at Fang Ye, seeming much calmer.

It slowly stood up, flapping its large ears, walked out of the open cage, and into its new home.

It walked around inside the back shed, observing and measuring its new environment.

...

Linhai Zoo’s public social media account posted an article about the elephant!

"What a joy to have friends from afar~

The elephant that arrived at the zoo is named Pingping; she is a female Asiatic elephant, weighing nearly 3 tons. Transporting her to the zoo was no easy task!

...

The article, in addition to introducing Pingping, edited and subtitled some of the videos taken during the transportation process for explanation.

It also included several photos of Pingping and its companions playing in the red dirt, riding the ferry, and arriving at their new home in the zoo.

The happy and excited citizens commented and shared the post below in abundance!

"So touching, the elephant has finally come!"

"ohhhhhhh! I’ve been waiting for the elephant for so long!"

"Why get so worked up, the elephant has to be quarantined for a while before we can see it."

"The elephant takes over from lions and tigers to become the strongest force in the zoo!"

"Don’t you care about the director at all?"

"With the elephant arriving, aren’t you considering giraffes, rhinos, and hippos?"

Reply: "Don’t worry, the director said there will definitely be more to come!"

"I’m so happy to witness the zoo transform from an old one into a beautiful new pavilion rising from the ground, with an increasing number of animals, now with pandas and elephants! I hope it gets better and better!" Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy

"Elephant~ Elephant~ Why is your nose so long~"

"Pingping came today, and I even went out to welcome her! Seeing the director with dark circles under his eyes, he seemed quite haggard, must have been really worried about transporting the elephant."

"The director needs to take care of his health. I’m still waiting to see you pet an elephant."

Reply: "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pass on your message to the director!"

"I wonder what it’s like for the director to pet an elephant? Standing in front of the elephant, I guess even raising his hands, he can’t reach its shoulders. Can’t pet its head like with lions and tigers, right? Does he need to stand on a ladder, or maybe he’ll just give the elephant’s leg a muamua of kisses?"

"Haha, I find this image so funny."

"It’s not the director petting the elephant, it’s the elephant petting the director, I bet!"

"A tiger can playfully press down on the director, but if an elephant did the same, it might crush him in one fell swoop."

"I took the day off just to join in the excitement! You guys don’t know, when they lowered the elephant from the crane, poop and pee were flowing everywhere, it really shocked me."

"The animal keeper said this is the first elephant, and there are still several more to come."

"I’ve loved watching elephants at the zoo since I was little. Later, when I learned how smart and emotional they are, I liked them even more! However, the conditions for elephants in the zoo were pretty bad when I was a kid. They would constantly shake their heads and wag their trunks. Back then, my parents told me they were dancing. Now I know that it’s typical stereotypical behavior. In such a small space, it would be weird if they didn’t show stereotypy."

"I hope to see vibrant, healthy, and happy elephants in Linhai Zoo!"

Reply: "Please be assured that our elephant enclosure has an activity area of over 10,000 square meters, featuring sand pits, mud pits, waterfalls, and streams, along with various enrichment facilities. The elephants will definitely be happy in their new home!"

"Wow, I’m excited!"

"I remember a joke!

Scammer: Hello Mr. Fang, we are from China Merchants Bank. Your credit card was used for an overseas expenditure of 180,000 yesterday. Was it you who made the purchase?"

Director: "Yes, it was me."

Scammer: "What did you buy?"

Director: "I bought an elephant."

Scammer: "... You’re badass, you’ve completely thrown me off track. Beep... Beep... Beep..."

"Hahaha, right on! But 180,000 for an elephant is way too cheap. Closer to 1.8 million would be more like it!"

"Why is the elephant red?"

"If you look at the photos, the environment where the elephant stayed before was all red soil. Its body is covered with a layer of red soil, so it appears red."

Besides the welcoming comments for the elephant, the video of its transport also sparked a lot of discussions.

"Wow, I never knew how elephants were transported before!"

"Transporting an elephant is so complicated, it’s really tough."

"Useless trivia +1!"

"There is a chance to use it, though. When you go to the zoo with your girlfriend, telling her how elephants are transported will surely change the way she sees you."

"First you need a girlfriend!"

"I was wondering about the chain on its foot in the photos, thinking maybe the elephant was being mistreated. Turns out it’s to secure it to the cage, to prevent tipping over!"

"The video is really well made. I was a bit puzzled at first, with such a setup the elephant’s head facing the back of the truck, wouldn’t it feel uncomfortable? Now I realize it’s for safety reasons."

"Such thoughtful consideration, big thumbs up to you guys!"
