I have a wildlife zoo

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

A little boy, who looked to be about four or five, suddenly let out an excited scream and bounced towards the ring-tailed lemurs. The ring-tailed lemur quickly retracted its head and jumped to the ground, swiftly running away.

Young children, especially, love to express their excitement and happiness with high-pitched screams!

It's quite common for them to scream upon seeing an animal.

The parent had just received a bit of education and knew that they shouldn't shout at the ring-tailed lemurs on the island. They quickly grabbed the little boy and started to educate him, "Running so fast, aren't you afraid of falling? And look, the little monkey was about to come over and befriend us, you can't shout like that, you see you scared it away, now it doesn't want to be friends with us."

After getting a lecture, the child, hearing that the little monkey didn't want to be his friend, immediately looked a bit crestfallen and became much more subdued, "Then I won't shout, little monkey, come back..."

Some ring-tailed lemurs were still sunbathing, while others had had their fill and started to wander and play around.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing new visitors on the island, five or six of them curiously ran up to their side to watch the commotion.

The little boy immediately became happy again, and just as he was about to let out a scream, he remembered the lesson he had just learned, toned it down quite a bit, and quietly made eye contact with the ring-tailed lemurs.

As if he had discovered a new world, "Mom, its eyes are yellow!"

"Yes, look how long its tail is, isn't that interesting?" The parent, stroking the child's head and smiling amiably, continued by taking out a camera and snapping a photo of the child together with the ring-tailed lemurs!

Yan Ganghui saw two ring-tailed lemurs sitting on a rock, sunning themselves grandly. Meanwhile, their heads curiously followed the progress of the people, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Eh, look at them, they really have the posture of bosses."

Su Hui, finding the scene amusing, also smiled; turning her head, she saw a ring-tailed lemur on an imli tree beside her, hugging a branch that stretched out diagonally, with its head peeking out from the left side.

Some seemed eager to try and stood on tiptoe, stretching out their fingertips, wanting to try and touch its head.

Because the movement was slow, the ring-tailed lemur looked somewhat alert, but did not make a move to escape, only shifting its body so that its head moved to the right side, avoiding her touch.

"Hey, let me touch you!"

Su Hui persisted, reaching out to touch it again.

The ring-tailed lemur looked at her, seeming somewhat resigned, and did not continue to dodge, "Eh, poor bipedal creature, if you really want to touch me that badly, I'll let you touch me."

At last, she got to touch a paw!

Su Hui was immediately as happy as a child, laughing out loud.

That should satisfy you now, right?

The ring-tailed lemur, having its paw touched and seeing that she wanted to continue petting, immediately jumped to another branch.

Following the people's movement, it walked along the branch for a bit before releasing its front paws and squatting down to nimbly leap away, landing a meter off and running ahead in a flash.

Su Hui watched the ring-tailed lemur as it departed, suddenly feeling puzzled, "Huh, they seem a bit different from ordinary monkeys, right?"

Yan Ganghui matter-of-factly said, "Of course, they're different. After all, they are ring-tailed lemurs, their faces look like foxes."

"I'm not talking about their looks..." Su Hui frowned in thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Right, don't ordinary monkeys hang from vines and swing back and forth? Why do ring-tailed lemurs seem to prefer running on tree trunks or the ground, and not hang beneath branches?"

"Huh, that does seem true. Ask the animal keeper?"

Yang, hearing this question, was a bit baffled since his time with the ring-tailed lemurs was still short and he wasn't that familiar with their habits. After pausing to think for a moment, he finally answered, "Hmm, because the ring-tailed lemurs' leg strength is quite developed, they spend around thirty to forty percent of their time on the ground.

And when they come down from trees, they usually go head-first. This should probably help them control their center of gravity better."

"Oh~"

"So that's how it is."

By now, someone had already squatted down and started to stroke the ring-tailed lemur!

The ring-tailed lemurs had different personalities. The ones that had gathered around people were clearly the bolder and more sociable ones, while the shy ones sat on the trees outside, watching.

The little boy wanted to touch but looked a bit hesitant, "Does it agree to let me touch it?"

The parent encouraged him, "It's alright, the little monkey says you're already its friend! Look, the little girl is touching it!"

The little girl, not minding that her skirt was getting dirty, gently stroked the ring-tailed lemur, as though she was petting a little rabbit, her face filled with joy and happiness.

The boy instantly extended his little hand with excitement and started scratching the lemur's dark grey fur on its back, laughing joyously, "Tickle tickle, tickle tickle!"

He still couldn't shake his mischievous nature.

This ring-tailed lemur was quite accommodating, sitting still and allowing the children to pet it.

But when a few adults stood at the side, either snapping photos with a "click click" or reaching out their hands, their bodies blocking the light from above, it seemed uneasy with so many people around and became somewhat alert and ran away swiftly.

"It's come over to our side!" Su Hui's eyes lit up as she excitedly, albeit gently, called out.

Yan Ganghui squatted down, patted his hands softly twice, and imitated the lemur's call "woo woo" to try and capture its attention.

The ring-tailed lemur stopped and looked at him proudly, as if to say, you want to pet the big boss too?

"Hehe, the little guy is quite fun." Yan Ganghui reached out his hand, gently scratching its white chin, and so the ring-tailed lemur cooperatively lifted its head, its pointed white ears indeed resembling those of a fox, and its front paw even rested on his hand.

Su Hui gently touched its back and the tail coiled on the ground, delightedly saying, "It feels even softer than stroking a cat! It's like touching a cloud; wow, this tail feels so nice to touch!"

Having only touched its paw earlier, she finally got a real feel for it.

Then another ring-tailed lemur casually strolled over, and she immediately switched her attention, enthusiastically petting the new arrival.

Seeing the little boy squatting down beside her, Yan Ganghui stood up, giving up the spot, and took a couple of photos of his girlfriend.

He was quite fond of ring-tailed lemurs—of course, all tourists loved these gentle and pretty creatures, but he wasn't very keen on petting them; just watching was enough for him.

Seeing the happiness on his girlfriend's face, his mood was as clear and sunny as Sunshine itself; today's trip was truly worth it!

Thinking to himself, he decided to ask Zhou Ke when he was free and invite him out for a meal to say thanks.

Considering it was a rare visit to the island, he walked around and "click click" captured the beautiful surroundings of the island as well.

Yang checked the time, "Dear visitors, time's up! Let's leave the island now."

"Oh no, so soon!"

"Today was really worth it, the ring-tailed lemurs are too cute."

The tourists boarded the bamboo raft, waving goodbye to the ring-tailed lemurs!

The ones who found it hardest to leave were the children. As they left the island, they kept looking back, "I'll come to see you again!"
