I have a wildlife zoo

Qian Keke exclaimed excitedly, "This is so much fun!"

Tang Xiaoxin asked, "Should we take a photo later? But I don't know how long the lion will be eating the meat!"

Qian Keke glanced at the queue of visitors and said regretfully, "Ah, it looks like there's no chance!"

Qiqi, munching on some meat, noticed a child behind the glass curtain wall crying from being scared and cast a disdainful look.

Tch, acting as if someone wants to eat you.

However, being watched by so many visitors while eating did indeed annoy it!

It let out a roar and suddenly turned around!

The visitors were dumbfounded: "Eh, what's happening, it's not eating the meat anymore?"

With its back to the visitors, a conspicuous pair of golden bells dangling underneath its tail was clearly visible.

While the visitors were examining it, Qiqi adjusted the angle and stood its tail up like a bent antenna, the tuft on the tail swaying in the wind.

The visitors watched Qiqi carefully, wondering what it was up to, when suddenly a yellow liquid "whooshed" out from beneath it, splattering against the glass curtain wall!

"Oh my god!"

"Damn!"

The visitors' minds jolted, they instinctively closed their eyes, and darted to the side to dodge, creating a mess in a moment, with several people even tumbling down in the chaos!

Only after dodging did they realize, there was a layer of glass in between.

Whoosh whoosh!

The height of the yellow jet of water just lessened a bit before being forcefully raised again, and after several such surges, the momentum finally dwindled.

After Qiqi finished urinating, it turned its head and seemed quite relieved, roaring loudly, mouth wide open as if in a display of defiance, then resumed eating its meat.

The visitors couldn't help but laugh and cry!

"This lion is too naughty, brazenly urinating towards us!"

"Damn, I thought it was going to spray on my clothes."

"If it got on your head, that would feel disgustingly tingly."

Some visitors noticed Fang Ye at that moment and hurriedly complained to him, "Director, isn't this lion a bit too cunning, deliberately scaring us?"

Fang Ye chuckled and said, "Actually, such urination for a lion is a kind of scent-marking behavior!

The scent marks made by lions can spread over long distances and last for a very long time, helping to convey certain information, such as which lion has claimed the territory and left its mark.

Like dogs, lions will mark the same spots repeatedly as they pass by.

They generally do so in front of bushes or shrubs, raising their tails and spraying urine to leave marks at the height of a lion's nostrils, so other passing lions won't miss them. Besides urinating, they also leave marks by rubbing against the trunks of trees and scratching.">

Of course, turning around specifically to urinate at you does indeed show a bit of a mischievous streak, probably because it felt somewhat displeased by so many people watching it eat!"

This was not just something Fang Ye concocted to slander Qiqi.

Sometimes when Qiqi was displeased with animal keepers, it would also take the opportunity to urinate on them while they were mopping the floor or walking past.

Lions' urination and defecation behaviors are contagious within the group, just like yawning is!

Once, while Li was mopping, he was first attacked with a squirt of urine from Qiqi, narrowly dodging to the side. Then, the other lions started urinating all at once at the spot he had just cleaned.

Despite feeling gloomy, he had no choice but to obediently mop up after them.

"Tsk~"

The visitors looked at Qiqi with some surprise. They had thought all lions were fierce and dominant, never expecting to encounter one with such a mischievous character.

Qiqi finished eating the small piece of meat and strolled away at a leisurely pace.

A tourist looked into the distance, "Hey, there's another lion over there!"

"It looks so handsome!"

In the distance on the savannah, Kaka lay quietly in the grass.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the grass and mane to sway slightly.

Sunshine bathed Kaka's pale yellow fluffy mane, setting off a dazzling golden fringe that was captivating to the eye.

"Roar~"

He lifted his head and opened his mouth, letting out a soft roar that sounded like a recitation of some poem about the savannah and lions!

Although Qiqi and Kaka were both male lions, compared to Qiqi, who had a rather short temper and occasionally displayed malice, Kaka was much more docile and had never caused any trouble. His favorite thing to do was to lie on the savannah and quietly appreciate the scenery and nap.

Perhaps struck by the scene, or reminded of something, Kaka let out a few soft roars before lazily collapsing onto the grass.

He squinted his eyes, basking in the warm sunshine and enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

"Hey, there seems to be a lioness walking towards the male lion!"

"Really!"

The tourists perked up, immediately turning their gazes in that direction!

With hopeful eyes wide open, could it be that the two lions were in love?

The lioness Yueyue gazed at Kaka, walking directly toward him from a distance, clearly focused on her target.

Her paws moved with casual elegance, her walk leisurely at first, but when she came within a few meters of Kaka, her pace quickened significantly, as light and joyous as a person tiptoeing.

Kaka lay on the ground with his back to Yueyue, initially unaware of her approach. However, when Yueyue got close, his ears pricked up as if sensing something, and he abruptly lifted his upper body and turned to look behind him.

They made eye contact!

His demeanor instantly relaxed, his eyes seeming to say, "Oh, it's you!"

His head then swung back around.

Yueyue walked around from behind Kaka to his front, lying beside him with her paws aligned neatly together.

She slid her head under Kaka's, tilting her own to support his chin while her neck pressed against the thick mane of his, a faint sly smile playing on her lips, revealing a hint of playfulness and cheer.

Yes, it's me!

The tourists immediately let out a delighted cry of surprise!

"Wow~"

"I can't believe I find these two lions so sweet?"

"I didn't expect to get a mouthful of dog food from lions!"

"Damn, I've been dog fooded!"

Tang Xiaoxin quickly asked Fang Ye, "Hey, hey, hey, Brother Fang Ye, are they in love?"

Fang Ye chuckled, "What do you think? It's pretty obvious, isn't it?"

Those who have watched "The Animal World" will surely remember a classic line, "Spring has arrived, life awakens, and the great savannah enters the mating season for animals."

Many animals have a fixed mating season, but lions are an exception (humans are another exception); they can mate at any time.

Mature lionesses go into heat every 3-4 weeks, and there's also a unique phenomenon in lion prides—when one lioness goes into heat, the other lionesses will synchronously enter their heat cycles, making the lions exceedingly lively during this phase.

The lions' spring has come!
