I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 534 Red Panda Takes a Walk

Leaving the bird exhibit, they headed towards the red panda exhibit.

The red pandas were also among Yingying’s favorite animals, a must-see every visit.

As they were walking along the tranquil bamboo-lined path, screams erupted from behind them.

"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!!"

The curious visitors ahead turned their heads only to spot two red figures trailing behind an animal keeper, moving forward.

Yingying excitedly exclaimed, "Mama, look, red pandas!"

Liu Xueqing was startled, "Aren’t those red pandas? How did they get out here?"

Fang Ye had planned an outdoor excursion activity for the red pandas before.

The activity had just begun, with the animal keeper taking them around the bamboo grove for a stroll before heading back, gradually lengthening the red pandas’ outdoor time.

The activity area in the bamboo grove was much larger than inside the exhibit.

Although they had previously explored the area under Fang Ye’s guidance and had become somewhat acquainted with it, Lingling and Shuaishuai were still nervously observing their surroundings with the familiar animal keeper accompanying them.

They took cautious steps, walking carefully forward.

Visitors who saw the red pandas outside the exhibit were thrilled and wanted to come up and touch them.

Guan Shan immediately cautioned, "Dear visitors, please do not touch; red pandas are fierce animals and can cause harm!"

In their minds, the visitors were mostly thinking, "Such a fluffy and cute little fellow, and you call it a fierce animal? Are you kidding me?"

Although they were itching to touch one, upon hearing this, they reluctantly withdrew their covetous hands.

The visitors heeded Guan Shan’s warning and stood as if frozen, waiting for the red pandas to pass by.

When the adorable red pandas walked by their feet, the desire to reach out and touch them was overwhelming, yet they couldn’t, requiring considerable willpower to restrain themselves.

The visitors trailing behind were utterly captivated!

Shuaishuai was leading with a frown, passing by Liu Xueqing and her family.

Yingying, knowing she shouldn’t touch, stood still obediently.

As Shuaishuai passed by Yingying, he raised his head to sniff at her feet before continuing on his way.

Yingying couldn’t stop smiling as she observed his butterfly-like pristine white ears, the neatly defined pair of white eyebrows, black claws, and his chubby, thick tail sweeping over her legs—it was the first time she got to see such details up close, far cuter than what she had seen in the exhibit.

Yingying’s father bent down to capture the moment on video.

Liu Xueqing remarked with amazement, "Wow, we are so lucky today! We got to see the parrot chorus and now the red pandas are out for an activity. Is this their first time coming out?"

At any rate, in their many previous visits to the zoo, this had never happened.

Shuaishuai, with his short legs, ambled past lazily, followed by Lingling who looked around curiously.

Along the bamboo path, red and purple azaleas and blue dwarf periwinkle flowers had been planted.

Now in full bloom, they presented a radiant and colorful spectacle.

The peaceful, lush bamboo grove, the fragrant path adorned with flowers, the brilliant sunshine sifting through the bamboo leaves casting mottled speckles on the pathway, with the red pandas ambling through, they seemed like little sprites stepping out from a painting.

Lingling sniffed the blue Madagascar periwinkle, clawing one over to chew and taste.

Well, no particular expression showed—seems it was neither good nor bad.

Shuaishuai, intrigued by the sound of trickling water!

The red panda exhibit also had water, but just a small ditch, akin to a child’s toy compared to this.

Reaching the stream’s edge, they gazed at the glass-clear waters and the mossy boulders, dipping their paws and stirring the water a bit.

Seemingly chilled, it drew back and shivered, shaking off droplets of water.

Just watching them could fill one’s heart with a pure joy.

A female student’s eyes shone with stars, "Wowwww, they’re so fluffy and cute."

Her companion’s hand twitched slightly, trembling as it extended a little then withdrew, complaining, "It’s unbearable that something so cute can’t be petted! If it were in my house, I would pet it bald in three days."

"I really want to rub one, it must feel so good! But there’s the risk of getting fingers bitten off..."

"Wouldn’t it follow me home for a piece of apple?"

Some tourists regretted not bringing apples, otherwise they would have been able to feed the red pandas.

Wishing to pet them was only met with warnings from Guan Shan, but if someone really tried to feed them, it wouldn’t be a warning but a scolding they would get.

Lingling and Shuaishuai had been active near the stream for a while, and then scampered over the wooden bridge.

As they approached the exhibit, the number of visitors increased, crowding around excitedly for a "click, click" photo session!

"I was wondering where the red pandas had gone, turns out they’re out for a stroll!"

The path was blocked, and Shuaishuai seemed a bit perplexed.

It stood up, raised its head with furrowed brows, lifting its black paws as if making a threat to the tourists.

It was as if saying, move along quickly, or I won’t be polite! I’ll wash you clean!

The tourists in front didn’t move away when they saw the red panda raise its hand; instead, they burst into laughter with a "hahaha."

"So cute it kills! I’m smitten!"

"I really love red pandas!"

"This is so much fun!"

Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Guan Shan was glaring from behind and shouting, "Make way, make way! Don’t block the path; the red panda is warning by lifting its hand! It really will scratch people!"

"Oh~"

The tourists in front toned it down a bit and moved aside to make way for the red pandas.

Following behind them and shouting all the way, Guan Shan was exhausted.

The red pandas were such a big attraction! They always made people want to get close.

Once past these visitors, the familiar exhibit lay ahead.

Lingling and Shuaishuai were somewhat excited. The two red fluffballs, one after the other, bounced energetically with matching steps into the exhibit!

Guan Shan took out two pieces of apple, handing them to Shuaishuai and Lingling, praising, "Well done!"

Carrying the red pandas, she returned to the play area.

Having experienced the fresh and exciting exploration outside, Lingling and Shuaishuai seemed to still be yearning for more fun as they ran around actively, climbing from tree to ground.

Liu Xueqing’s family, after spending some time with the red pandas, headed to the giant panda exhibit.

Zhuangzhuang had just finished eating bamboo and was now lying on the grass, with his feet in the air, sound asleep!

Meanwhile, Cloud had climbed up a tree in the play area and was sitting leisurely on a branch, gazing into the distance.

Stretching its legs out, at peace with the world.

Though with the panda’s poor eyesight, he could only see the blurry scenery.

With its arms hugging the tree trunk and its small short legs dangling below, it gently swayed them back and forth restlessly!

Giant pandas were also proficient in tree-damage, and the tree that Cloud was sitting on had several broken branches already, thanks to him. The few remaining branches were sparsely leaved, and despite it being spring, a time of blooming vitality, it looked forlorn and barren.

The highest branch it sat on also looked somewhat precarious.
