I have a wildlife zoo

```

Fang Ye was now behind the pool, hoping to walk to the front of the pool to get closer to the visitors in front of the glass curtain wall, so they could get a clearer view of the tiger eating watermelon.

However, Ice Cake clung to his slipper, shaking it a few times without success. Wagging its tail in delight, it seemed as happy as a clingy little kitten, possibly thinking it was playing a game.

The visitors' eyes lit up in delight, "This little white tiger is so clingy, it's just like my cat at home, always hugging my leg when it wants to play!"

Fang Ye, with resignation, said, "Ice Cake, let go, please."

He didn't want to use Deterrence or his slipper to scare Ice Cake; what if it frightened the little cutie and it stopped liking him?

Using a little more force this time, Ice Cake was flung to one side, but then it excitedly pounced again, hugging his leg.

Great, now he couldn't walk.

As the director of the zoo, communicating with tigers was, of course, an essential skill, so Fang Ye patted Jiaojiao on the head and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, could you do me a favor and pull Ice Cake away?"

Jiaojiao lifted its head, followed Fang Ye's pointing finger to look at Ice Cake, pondered what he meant, and then used its paw to push Ice Cake aside, preventing it from clinging to Fang Ye, before lowering its head to lick Ice Cake's head with its tongue.

Good girl, don't be naughty!

Ice Cake looked innocent; what bad intentions could a little tiger have?

The visitors watched, their eyes wide with disbelief, and erupted into a chorus of incredulous praise and gasps!

"Holy crap, the director seemed to say something to the big tiger, and then it moved the little white tiger away?"

"This big tiger is so smart, so sensible, it even knows to help the director out."

"Damn, director, you still say you're not a Druid!"

Now that Fang Ye was freed, he arrived in front of the pool and waved cheerfully at the visitors.

Although the glass prevented sound from passing through, the visitors still responded excitedly, "Hello, Director!"

"Director, I love you!"

"Director, I want to have little tigers with you!"

At that moment, a visitor noticed the watermelon in Fang Ye's hand and curiously asked the animal keeper Bao, "What's the director planning to do with that watermelon?"

"He surely isn't going to stroke the tiger while nibbling on watermelon, is he? That's too cruel, good thing I bought an Ice Cake, slurp!"

Speaking of which, the name Fang Ye gave to the little white tiger, Ice Cake, seemed eerily to have driven up the sales of cold refreshments at the zoo, with everyone liking to buy one after their tour, especially the ones with black and white chocolate shells.

Bao said, "Actually, that watermelon is for the tiger to eat."

Almost all the visitors had puzzled looks with a string of question marks popping up over their heads: ???

"What? Tigers eat vegetables too?"

"My worldview has collapsed, tigers going vegetarian!"

Bao explained to the visitors, "Felines cannot digest amino acids from non-meat foods and are inefficient at utilizing plant proteins, with a low absorption rate for plants. However, they can use this to supplement vitamins and minerals or to help pass indigestible hairballs!"

"So that's why!"

"Alright, now I get it."

The main purpose of bringing the watermelon, in fact, was to let Jiaojiao play and be happy. The watermelon itself was like a ball, and supplementing vitamins was secondary. It was a kind of fun and interesting enrichment food.

Fang Ye placed the watermelon on the ground and said to Jiaojiao with a smile, "Jiaojiao, look, what's this?"

```

Jiaojiao had actually noticed this green round thing before, and being quite curious as she had never seen it, she approached and sniffed the watermelon, licking it with her tongue.

She gently pushed with her right paw, then moved it with her left, pushed it forward and then pulled it back, huh, it seemed quite fun.

Then she lay down on her belly, her muscles bulging on her kyrin arm, and hugged the watermelon in her arms, opening her mouth to try and nip at it.

However, she didn't use much force, just leaving a mark with her canine teeth on the watermelon and smacking her lips to taste it.

"Wowwww!"

Ice Cake also wanted to play with the watermelon, pouncing on it to box it with her little paws, but the watermelon didn't move as Jiaojiao was holding it with her front paw.

In principle, balls are great toys for tigers, and feline animals all like balls; when they see a ball, they will swipe at it causing it to roll, and then they will chase after it. If there are several tigers, they can even play soccer.

But in reality, the effect isn't that ideal, because tigers like this one quickly use their kyrin arms to firmly hold down the ball, and if other tigers try to fight over it, they will roar to claim their territory, quickly losing interest in an immobile ball.

Jiaojiao looked at Ice Cake with tender eyes, comfortably laying on her side, exposing her soft white belly, and with a casual swipe of her paw, she pushed the watermelon away, which rolled around on the grass.

If the child wants to play, let her play!

Ice Cake was happily chasing after the watermelon, and as Jiaojiao watched the rolling watermelon intently, her head turning to follow, a renewed interest suddenly seized her, and she flipped over, raising her butt as she instinctively entered a hunting stance, pouncing past Ice Cake to lie down again and hold the watermelon in her embrace, nipping at it a couple of times.

Sorry, this watermelon is still mine!

Ice Cake lay opposite Jiaojiao, hooked her paws under the watermelon's bottom, trying to snatch it back into her own embrace, her little face both confused and aggrieved: ???

Mom, are you letting me play or not?

The visitors couldn't help but snicker, and someone released a "gaggle" of laughter like a goose!

"Indeed, tigers are cats too; they all like to play with balls!"

"Hey, I really thought the big tiger would yield, but in the end, it chose to hog it for itself."

"Tigers are just too cute!"

"So cute, I want to feed a tiger!"

"Buddy, that thought is kind of dangerous!"

Amidst the playful tussles of the two tigers, the watermelon kept rolling and, at a whim, Jiaojiao suddenly picked up the watermelon and walked a few steps, brought it to the pond's edge and with a light opening of her mouth and push of her paw, she nudged the watermelon into the water.

Maybe she wanted to see if the watermelon would float, or perhaps she thought it would be more fun to play with it in the water?

She watched intently as the watermelon sank as soon as it hit the water!

Before it could float up, Jiaojiao quickly scooped it out with her paw, and taking it into her mouth, she brought it back out of the pond.

Bringing it ashore and fiddling with it, nipping a couple of times, the watermelon, having been toyed with for so long, could no longer bear the weight and chose to split open, squirting out its juice!

Jiaojiao was suddenly startled, what is this sorcery!

Turning her head, she sprung away fiercely in an instant, running out five meters before looking back at the watermelon, gradually relaxing, well, it seems there's nothing dangerous, right?

She returned to the watermelon, licked it a few times, and lay down to chew on it.

Fang Ye walked over, picked up a piece of broken watermelon, rubbed Jiaojiao's head, and laughed, "Could you share a piece with me too?"

What could Jiaojiao say? If you want to eat, just eat it.

So Fang Ye leaned against the big cutie, as if against a sofa, waved over to Ice Cake, hugged the little cutie in his arms, basking in the warm sunshine and the refreshing breeze by the pond, holding the watermelon and eating it contentedly!
