I have a wildlife zoo

The crow, now even bolder, pecked Zhuangzhuang's butt again and plucked out a tuft of fur!

Zhuangzhuang finally felt something was amiss in his sleep, probably comparable to the sensation of a mosquito bite.

Pulling back his leg that was perched on the tree branch, he sat up groggily against the trunk and turned to look behind him.

The crow was incredibly crafty!

As one of the most despicable animals in the kingdom, it wouldn't dare to pull such stunts without having mastered the art of escape.

The moment Zhuangzhuang drew back his leg, the crow immediately took off, flapping its wings and slipping away like a thief.

Zhuangzhuang looked behind him in confusion, only to see a black shadow vanish into the sky in an instant.

What happened, there's nothing there! Was it just his imagination?

He lifted his foot, seemingly to scratch an itch, but his butt was in an awkward position and his foot couldn't quite reach, so halfway up, he put it down again.

Feeling somewhat unsettled, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being singled out!

He slowly lay back down against the trunk, shifted into a new position, and prepared to continue sleeping, though this time with much more caution.

Just as he lay down, the crow flew back.

Hopping on the tree trunk with light and buoyant steps, it seemed to be in high spirits.

It was thoroughly enjoying the thrill of the mischief!

This time taking it too far, the crow jumped directly onto Zhuangzhuang's butt.

It twisted its body as if dancing, bending down to peck left and right.

"Bamboo shoots, oh bamboo shoots!"

"Sorry, cameraman, my bad for blaming you. It turns out all the bamboo shoots far and wide have been snatched away by crows!"

"That's way too arrogant! Not only is it plucking fur, but it's also dancing on someone's butt!"

"I'm a class-one protected animal, you no-good crow, what gives you the right to ride on my back?"

"This is too much, keep plucking my butt and I'll go bald!"

"Crows are really shameless! Previously at Capital City Zoo, their pandas were also often plucked by crows."

"Why do they pluck panda fur, to make nests?"

"I don't know, but crows just seem to love doing this kind of stuff."

Zhuangzhuang, lying on the trunk, suddenly swung his paw backward!

Don't touch me, scram!

It was mainly a gesture to shoo the crow away, he couldn't actually hit it.

His round body, trying to throw his arm behind him, looked quite clumsy and adorable.

The agile crow flew backward and then hopped back onto Zhuangzhuang's butt.

It let out a low and rugged "caw caw", as if laughing in triumph.

Hey, I'm outta here, hey, I'm back again, how about that, how about that, how about that, try to hit me, dummy~

Zhuangzhuang was pecked twice more and now he was truly irritated!

Though his thick fur didn't allow him to feel much from the pecking, the crow's constant fur-plucking, coupled with its noisy cawing, disturbed his wish for a peaceful slumber, utterly annoying him!

Unable to sleep, he sat up on the trunk.

The crow perched on a nearby branch, and just as Zhuangzhuang thought of getting close to slap it, the bird flew down not too far from the base of the tree and continued its "caw caw" taunting.

Come on, try to hit me!

The crow was delighted, but Zhuangzhuang was angry, his temper flaring up inside!

He climbed down from the tree at an unhurried pace.

The crow didn't leave!

It stood on the nearby grass, its eyes fixed intently on Zhuangzhuang.

Its demeanor was extremely arrogant.

Zhuangzhuang crouched down, locking eyes with the crow.

Suddenly, he moved!

He leapt forcefully towards it, aiming to take the bird into his embrace from a higher position.

The crow was already prepared and also made a nimble leap!

It flapped its wings and landed on a piece of stone ahead.

Zhuangzhuang didn't slow down at all; he swung his four limbs and twisted his buttocks, running out like a wild horse that has broken free, his round belly and chubby butt jiggling non-stop!

Chasing after the crow, he started sprinting across the grass in the panda exhibit, jumping up and down—the scene could be described as chaotic as chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Netizens were stunned, "Wow, can pandas run this fast?"

"That speed!"

"Holy shit, that scared me!"

"A nimble fat guy!"

"I've tolerated you for a long time! Stop running!"

"Runs quite fast, but the posture is kind of funny!"

Fang Ye watched this scene with a chuckle, and waved from outside, "Zhuangzhuang, keep it up! Run!"

This was far better than the enrichment activities they had been doing.

They'd go to great lengths to encourage the giant pandas to exercise more—planting bamboo in various spots on the perches, stuffing it in sacks, or fashioning tire swings.

But most of the time, pandas were leisurely, and after eating bamboo, they'd just find a place to sleep.

Now, as Zhuangzhuang chased after the crow, he was much more motivated, and the exercise effect was +++.

He even hoped that the crow could come every day to be the pandas' sparring partner.

But this also related to the animals' temperaments!

Zhuangzhuang, infuriated by the crow snatching, chased it in a frenzy, whereas Cloud might give up after a couple of tries if she couldn't catch it.

The crow didn't expect Zhuangzhuang to run so fast!

It would have been caught if it had flown in a straight line, so it quickly started to maneuver around the venue's obstacles to outsmart him.

This made things a lot easier for it.

When it flew up to the perches, Zhuangzhuang huffed and puffed as he climbed up rapidly, then the crow would flap its wings and fly down to the ground, forcing Zhuangzhuang to clamber back down.

One was taking the elevator, the other climbing stairs; the speed difference was natural.

The netizens watched the spectacle with great interest: "Exciting stuff!"

"Bewitching LeBlanc playing tricks on Udyr!"

"Gotta say, it's quite fitting!"

After a while, Zhuangzhuang, panting and exhausted, stopped by a tree.

The crow perched on a branch and cawed triumphantly, its body swaying up and down.

Hehe, can't get me, can you? Annoyed?

Zhuangzhuang looked up at it, utterly frustrated!

He headed towards the bamboo pile.

You just wait, once I've eaten and regained my strength, I'll come back and deal with you!

"Director, the crow is so brazen, aren't you going to do something about it?"

Fang Ye smiled and said, "You may not know, but for pandas in the wild, mating is not difficult; it is under captivity that breeding rates drop, and one main reason is poor physical condition!

Wild giant pandas have to travel dozens of kilometers across steep mountain roads every day in search of food. Under captive conditions, they move much less, and during mating, even standing or climbing movements are difficult.

So having a crow to tease them and encourage them to exercise more is a good thing!

Many of you watching my livestream might be students on holiday, don't just stay at home all day, looking at the computer, playing games—get outside, move around, and get close to nature at the zoo.

Having a good body is a tremendous aid to studying, living, working!"

"Director sounds just like my mom."

"Same world, same mom, but whereas mom's nagging feels annoying, the director makes it sound quite reasonable." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

"Haha, I remember the director reminding everyone to have breakfast during a morning livestream."

"Although what the director is saying is nothing new, it's true. I was on a project where we had to work intense overtime for 3 weeks straight, and afterward, everyone was floating, and I had lost about 10 pounds—you really can't survive without a good body."

"Looks like it's time to make an exercise plan!"
