I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 176 Lions and Tigers, Who Is Stronger and Who Is Weaker?



The employees quickly gathered at the side gate of the zoo, which had also been constructed recently by the system's construction team. This gate was for internal use within the zoo, usually used for transporting feed and animals in and out.

Waiting for the lions to arrive, the employees naturally couldn't resist starting a discussion about topics related to lions, namely whether lions or tigers were more ferocious.

This was indeed a timeless debate!

Meng Shi scratched his head and asked, "Director, who do you think is stronger?"

All the employees looked eagerly at Fang Ye!

Fang Ye laughed and said, "There's no need to argue about this; lions and tigers are both the strongest members of the feline family. It's just that they have evolved into different forms according to their environments."

"Psh~" The employees were somewhat disappointed with this noncommittal answer.

Before he crossed over to this world, Fang Ye had specifically bought some professional books and joined some animal-related discussion groups on Earth in order to build a good zoo, so he understood animals. However, his knowledge back then was limited to only a few popular ones like lions, tigers, and pandas, not as comprehensive as it is now.

Indeed, in those discussion groups, there were people who would argue so fiercely to decide whether lions or tigers were superior that it escalated to personal attacks, and the moderators would have to mute them like crazy, eventually leading to the group being disbanded.

Back then, Fang Ye wondered if it was necessary to settle who was superior and what significance it would have if they did.

Were they really fond of lions and tigers, or were they trying to satisfy their desire to compete by comparing the two?

If they really loved lions and tigers, instead of arguing over who was stronger or weaker, it would be better to discuss how to protect their ecological environment and the impact of human activities on them.

Then the employees began discussing whether they liked tigers or lions better, and soon the conversation twisted to whether they preferred Jiaojiao or Ice Cake.

After all, it was a tiger that Linhai Zoo was raising, and everyone felt a closer bond with the tigers!

Lan Li's eyes sparkled, "I like Ice Cake! The little Ice Cake tiger cub cried so adorably when it was little, and I even fed it milk. Ah, it's grown up without me noticing. Big tigers are still a bit intimidating, though."

Meng Shi declared firmly, "I like Jiaojiao! Of course, Ice Cake is also very cute, but Jiaojiao is so smart and gentle."

He then sighed, looking gloomily, "Although she doesn't seem to like me much."

Lan Li asked curiously, "What about you, Director? Which one do you prefer?"

Fang Ye spread his arms wide, tilted his head back, and with a sacred expression, he mimicked the praise of the sun, "Of course, I love them the same, they're both my wings!"

"Eek~"

Just then, Fang Ye spoke seriously, "By the way, I have a tongue twister. I wonder if any of you can say it? There are forty-four dead persimmon trees in front of the mountain, and forty-four stone lions behind the mountain."

He had specifically practiced this tongue twister to entertain the children when they came to see the lions.

Lan Li tried to mimic it, but her tongue got tied in knots, "There are forty-four, four... uh! Bit my tongue."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

While chatting happily, after a while, the transport truck from Boulders Safari arrived. It was guided to the quarantine area.

"Clang" With the transport truck's rear door opened, inside were two huge boxes. They were covered with wooden boards on all sides, with a row of small holes for ventilation at the top.

Of course, these were not just wooden boxes, the wood served as a shade cover over the steel cages.

"Roar~~ Roar~~!"

The lions inside the wooden boxes seemed to sense something, perhaps the sound of the transport truck's doors opening, the change of light coming through the ventilation holes, or the scent of strangers, and they began to growl uneasily.

The low growling, like the revving of motorcycle engines, rolled on wave after wave.

The two lions from Boulders Safari were both males, and during the introduction, the potential competition between the males was considered. Coexisting males from the same zoo, especially if they were brothers, usually got along better and fought less readily. Female lions would be introduced from other zoos to avoid inbreeding.

Fang Ye called out to everyone, "Come on, let's all help to carry the boxes down!"

"Got it!"

The employees clumsily grabbed the edges of the wooden boxes and pulled them out. During this process, it seemed the lion was provoked and abruptly slapped the box, roaring loudly with a majestic and fierce presence, like a rolling thunder exploding beside their ears, "Roar!!!!!!"

The whole wooden box seemed to tremble with the roar.

The lion in the other wooden box, hearing its brother roar with such anger, also roared loudly in response, "Roar!!!! Roar!!!!"

Lan Li was startled, her expression panicked and she trembled, "Oh my~"

Her soft voice was as inconspicuous as a mosquito's against the roar of the lions.

Not only her, but all the employees were startled!

The lion's roar still had a tremendous deterrent power.

"Oh my goodness, why is the lion roaring so fiercely? My ears are nearly deaf."

"That roar is really scary, did we put a lion in there or a V8 engine?"

"The lion inside might just be facing us with its huge mouth open, the thought of it is a bit chilling."

Fang Ye encouraged, "Put some muscle into it, let's quickly get the crate down!"

With grunts and groans, a group of people carried the lion's wooden crate onto the trolley and transported it to the door of the isolation room. After aligning it properly, they unlocked the lid of the crate and pulled it to the side.

In an instant, a huge yellow figure leaped out like a whirlwind, landing on the floor of the room and turning its head to look at everyone.

With a light tea-colored fur, its head surrounded by a very dense ring of tawny mane hair that hung down to its chest, its tawny eyes glinting fiercely, and its large mouth revealing huge canine teeth, it roared again in a show of dominance!

There were some shallow scars on its face and body, likely from fights with other lions.

"ROAR!!!"

It had been locked up in the pitch dark crate for a long time, and upon getting out, it saw an unfamiliar environment with no sight of familiar companions, definitely not happy!

Seeing the lion had entered the isolation room, an animal keeper operated the doors to secure the room.

People watched in admiration and said, "Wow, that mane is quite majestic!"

"Not bad, pretty handsome, huh!"

"Looks a lot more robust than Jiaojiao!"

"Isn't that obvious? Of course, the male lion is stronger."

"Director, do these two lions have names?" an animal keeper asked.

Fang Ye replied, "Yes, one is called Qiqi, and the other Kaka!"

He activated the Eye of Observation for a glance.

[African lion: Qiqi

Gender: Male

Age: 4 years

Mood: Tense/Annoyed

Health status: Good]

It was certainly the African lion that could be brought in from another zoo, as the Asiatic lion has very few numbers in the wild, and even fewer in zoos, with breeding occurring only in a few large zoos.

Qiqi, seeing strangers looking at him up close, got even more upset and let out another roar: Scram!

Fang Ye clapped his hands, "Alright, let the guy have some space to himself, there's another lion we still need to move!"

Then they went to collect Kaka, whose personality seemed relatively better, not roaring as much during the transport as the first one.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Put Kaka in the same enclosure as Qiqi!

Both lions came from the same zoo, so they shouldn't fight, right?

Fang Ye thought that if they were familiar with each other, staying together might improve their mood; otherwise it seems pretty depressing to hear the familiar roar of a brother but not being able to see the lion when separated by rooms.

And what if after the quarantine, when they meet again, their affection becomes a bit estranged.

The crate was aligned with the gate, and then they opened both the gate and the crate in succession, Kaka also darted out.

Unexpectedly, Qiqi roared at Kaka right off the bat, angrily raising his paw as if to attack!

Kaka, initially happy to see his brother, was stunned by the roar, stepped back and wondered, "What's the matter, why are you being fierce to me!"

Qiqi nonchalantly lowered his paw, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed inside, oh well, didn't see clearly...

The lions' tension from arriving in a strange environment lessened a bit, and Fang Ye's mood relaxed too. He was prepared to put on slippers to break up the fight just moments earlier.

He said to the two lions with a smile, "Welcome to Linhai Zoo. Once the quarantine is over, we'll move you to your new home and find you some mates."

Both lions looked about the same size, and while Fang Ye wanted to observe the other differences more closely, it was better to give the lions a quiet, undisturbed environment having just arrived. After greeting them, he led the people away. Your next chapter awaits on empire
