Chapter 451: Being the King of Beasts Feels Really Good
Ran Qingqing asked somewhat embarrassedly, "May I have a taste?"
The dazzling array of fruits made her a little greedy too!
Even though her stomach was full after the meal, fruits and desserts could be stored in another stomach.
Yang said, "Of course."
Ran Qingqing picked up a piece of apple and took a bite, "crunch" went the crisp sound.
She exclaimed to her teammate with joy, "Wow, it's so sweet! Delicious!"
"Indeed, it's so sweet! Do they eat such tasty fruits every day?"
Ran Qingqing joked, "Why don't you stay here and become a ring-tailed lemur, then send us some of the fruits you can't finish every day."
Her teammate said, "That would be great, that would be great!"
The two laughed heartily.
Then they picked up the fruit platter and followed Yang outside.
As soon as they got to the indoor exhibit area outside, a few ring-tailed lemurs looked their way!
Their brown and yellow eyes seemed a bit puzzled; they usually saw visitors on the island, but it was rare to see someone coming from this side!
However, the lemurs were quite familiar with the metal tray in Ran Qingqing's hand—it was mealtime!
Immediately, they all followed behind them.
Yang opened a door on the rock wall and stepped over the water: "There are piles under the water, be careful not to trip over them."
"Oh, oh!"
Ran Qingqing followed behind. At first, she was a bit worried, but the piles were actually broad and convenient to step on.
Therefore, she relaxed and laughed, "Watch me float over the water with my light steps!"
The few ring-tailed lemurs in the indoor exhibit area also ran up to Lemur Island along the tree trunk passage, calling out loudly with "woo-woo" sounds, as if to inform their companions that it was mealtime!
Very quickly, all the lemurs scampered over!
They looked at them with hopeful eyes, encircling them like stars around the moon.
The lemurs running on the ground each held their question-mark-shaped long tails high like small flags, and some jumped from tree to tree. Their progress matched her advancement, leaping nimbly to the branches ahead, causing them to sway up and down, rustling loudly.
A look of surprise and delight spread across Ran Qingqing's face, "Wow, I feel like the King of Beasts right now! Being the King of Beasts really does feel quite majestic!"
Yang laughed, "Is it because you're bringing them food? They all want to please you."
At this moment, a particularly sociable ring-tailed lemur crouched slightly on a swinging branch, leaped, and landed on Ran Qingqing's shoulder.

Seeing her stop, two more leaped precisely onto her head and shoulders.
A lemur also landed on Yang's head. He laughed, "It's okay, just walk on. Place the food tray on that short tree stump."
After Ran Qingqing put down the tray, she called out, "Little cuties, it's mealtime!"
The ring-tailed lemurs all gathered around the stump, sitting in a circle with their long tails either placed behind them or curled up, looking very amusing.
Some of them ate while curiously observing them with their brown and yellow eyes.
Others seemed not very hungry yet, playfully jumping between the branches.
Just then, the ring-tailed lemurs that had been sitting in a circle to feast suddenly dispersed!
Ran Qingqing was puzzled, "Huh? Don't they want to eat anymore?"
Yang pointed to a few new arrival ring-tailed lemurs and explained, "It's because the female lemurs have arrived! The ring-tailed lemur is a matriarchal society where females have a higher status, and they usually get to enjoy the food first.
Besides, look, that one has recently given birth."
"Other lemurs might fight over a luxury fruit like dragon fruit, which they don't often see. When they see one about to eat, they won't fight for it."
Ran Qingqing noticed a ring-tailed lemur not far away, and sure enough, there were two offspring, one lying on its mother's back and the other tightly hugging her belly, looking at the world with big curious eyes.
Even though they were just offspring, you could already see the black rings on their tiny tails!
The lemur mother, spotting the animal keeper and someone unfamiliar, looked this way with some hesitation and didn't come over.
Ring-tailed lemurs are not as anxious during pregnancy and birth as other animals; they are able to happily interact with their peers a few days after giving birth, and the filming of the show did not bother them.
Yang said, "Let's step back a few meters."
Seeing this, the lemur mother leisurely walked to a tree stump and started eating a piece of dragon fruit.
"They even know to give way to a mother with offspring? Amazing!"
"Yes, ring-tailed lemurs are very good to mothers and offspring. The males in the group will occasionally help with the offspring, and all members cherish and protect the young."
...
Ran Qingqing was happily petting the ring-tailed lemurs!
Yang Xiaochao's team came over to the little farm: "We're here to walk the alpacas!"
The animal keeper took the card, smiled, and said, "Please choose your alpacas!"
Yang Xiaochao didn't know why, but in his head, he had a strange illusion as if hearing a game prompt, "Choose your hero"...
The alpacas were leisurely wandering inside the pen!
Yang Xiaochao looked from left to right, hesitating as to which one to choose.
Suddenly, he saw a brown alpaca with wildly exploding hair on its head, giving it a very arrogant look!
And a few long strands of hair covered most of one eye.
This alpaca was, of course, Brother Aotian.
As time passed, its coat grew longer and its distinctive hairstyle became even more rebellious.
Alpacas are usually sheared once a year, and although it wasn't summer yet, they would need their hair cut around May or June when the weather got hot.
Right then, he was staying alone in the corner, disdainful of the other alpacas, emanating an attitude of indomitable spirit.
Gazing deeply into the distance, as if to say: "In my journey through life, who dares mess with me~"
Yang Xiaochao excitedly said, "Wow, this alpaca looks so fun; it even looks like a spiky-haired punk! I want to pick it!"
The animal keeper advised, "This alpaca has quite a personality and can be pretty temperamental! Walking it could be quite challenging; perhaps you might want to choose another one?"
Actually, Brother Aotian's temperament had already improved a lot!
At first, no matter which visitor wanted to touch it or take a photo, Brother Aotian would angrily spit.
But as visitors increased and the disturbances grew more frequent, it still had plenty of spit to go around.
It gradually got used to it; with general harassment, it just glares and snorts through the nose, scaring people off.
Yang Xiaochao hesitated for a moment: "If it's said to be challenging, that means it's still manageable, right? I want to give it a try!"
The animal keeper said, "Alright, then I suggest you start by building a good relationship with it!"
He took out a brush: "Before starting your walk, you could brush the alpaca to make it happy!"
The teammates chose another white alpaca called "Shorty." Both took up brushes and walked over to the alpacas they had chosen.
Brother Aotian was deep in contemplation about camel life when he suddenly caught someone approaching out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately turned his head and looked at Yang Xiaochao with a sidelong glance.
Yang Xiaochao, under its gaze, hesitated to approach for a moment!
