I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 642 - 641 The Elephant Eats Durian
Arrived at the Elephant Pavilion!
Fang Ye first went to the back, where he saw Keeper Kong pushing a cart loaded with bundles of dry hay outside.
Upon seeing Fang Ye, he hurriedly greeted, "Hello, Director! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fang Ye glanced and realized it must be for preparing the elephants' food, so he nodded, "No worries, go ahead with your work. By the way, is Qing around?"
"Yeah, he's setting up mouse traps right now."
He took the opportunity to explain to the viewers, "We have hoisting devices around the elephant activity area. By lifting a net filled with dry hay, we can encourage the elephants to move around in search of food, increasing their activity level."
Seeing Qing crouching near the operation area in the back, setting traps, he shouted, "Qing, hold on a moment, help me bring some durians over."
"Okay!"
With a quick dash, Qing vanished from sight and returned after a while with a bucket containing several large durians, "Director, they're freshly taken out from the fridge!"

Fang Ye laughed, "Great, thank you!"
The viewers, staring at the beautiful durians, were almost crying with envy!
"I can smell the scent of durian through the screen!"
"Durians just taken out of the fridge must be delicious to eat!"
"Forget it, I'm going downstairs to buy a durian from the fruit shop!"
"Envious, they're 20 per pound here, can't afford it, so I'll just have to satisfy my craving with durian candy!"
Carrying the bucket, Fang Ye went to find the elephants in the activity area.
At the moment, Pingping was lying in a pile of soft mud!
Face down and back up, it seemed she was preparing to bask in the sun.
She adjusted her position slightly, tilting her massive body to one side, pressing it against the mound.
The sunlight shone on her skin, giving it a grayish-white color, her tail curling into a loop, playfully swishing back and forth.
Fang Ye called out, "Pingping! Pingping!"
Pingping flapped her big ears and lifted her head to look over.
She raised her trunk as if greeting him, but lazily refused to get up!
She flopped back down into the mud.
Just about to sleep, do not disturb!
Fang Ye laughed, "I've brought durian, are you still going to sleep in?"
Pingping hesitated a moment but then her eyes widened, and she clambered up from the ground!
Ah, there's good food, why didn't you say so earlier!
Her hind knees and front paws bent as if kneeling, then she moved her back legs forward and pushed off the mud to stand.
Walking over to him with big strides, indeed food was the best attraction.
Fang Ye picked up a durian that seemed perfectly ripe, its shell had a wide crack.
He held the durian against his chest with one hand and pushed into the crack with the other, using a bit of force, and split the durian open.
While splitting the durian, Pingping stood by his side, her mouth wide open, her trunk curled high, clearly unable to wait to eat!
Fang Ye plucked out a piece of creamy white, firm and plump flesh, which looked like a slice of cream cake. He showed it off in front of the camera, chuckling, "Here, the fans eat first!"
"Thank you, Director!"
"Look how eager the child is!"
"Never mind the elephant, I'm drooling like crazy just watching!"
Fang Ye presented the fruit flesh, and Pingping bulged her eyes and opened her mouth wide, ah! ah!
Seeing Pingping's impatient look, the viewers couldn't stop laughing!
But Fang Ye instead offered the fruit to Lan Li!
Lan Li blinked, obediently opened her mouth and said, "Ah~"
After chewing the durian for a moment, she revealed a sweet smile and said somewhat vaguely, "Mmm, it's soft and sticky, cool and refreshing, very crisp! Even sweeter than a banana."
Fang Ye then picked up another piece, "crunch crunch" ate it up, slurped the last bit into his mouth, licked his fingers and nodded in praise, "Melts right in your mouth, it does taste quite nice! Oh, and a reminder to everyone, durians are good, but don't overindulge, okay? Eating too much can cause heatiness!"
"My wallet doesn't allow me to get heatiness haha/cry"
"Zookeeper, you're so bad, Pingping is so anxious!"
Watching the two sweetly eating durian, Pingping could only stand by, dry-watching, and couldn't take it anymore after a while!
Weren't you calling me to eat durian, why has it turned into eating dog food?
Have you forgotten about me?
He nudged Fang Ye's shoulder with his trunk, appearing to act coquettishly!
I want to eat too, I want to eat too!
Then he took a few steps forward, squeezed in between Fang Ye and Lan Li, blocking their line of sight.
He opened his mouth wide, trunk on his forehead, looking expectant.
Lan Li had to step back and move to the side to get a clear shot of Fang Ye again, while laughing, "The zookeeper is definitely doing this on purpose! To tease Pingping, to see how it would react.
Oh yeah, everyone should definitely not tease elephants like this. The zookeeper has a good relationship with Pingping, and Pingping has a good temper. If it were the hot-tempered Meiling, she might get angry, one nudge of her trunk could knock someone down. Elephants can be quite powerful."
Fang Ye patted Pingping's trunk and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
He took out the fruit pulp and tossed it into Pingping's mouth.
Pingping quickly swallowed the durian, looking like he wanted more.
The online viewers were somewhat disappointed: "Weren't elephants supposed to eat durian hardcore style, shell and all?"
Someone questioned, "Huh? Aren't durian shells spiky outside, wouldn't elephants get hurt eating them?"
"No, durians are spread by elephants in the wild!"
Fang Ye said with a smile, "This one's shell has been opened, feeding it with the shell is unnecessary. I'll throw an unopened one to it, let's see how it responds."
This time, Pingping stepped on it, the wide footpad cracking open the durian, and he slurped up the fruit flesh with his trunk eagerly.
It seemed the scent of the durian spread, and the other elephants noticed there was something tasty here, all gathering around!
"Don't worry, there's plenty for every elephant!"
Fang Ye handed out a durian to each of the elephants.
Meilan's durian didn't seem to open easily; it only got flattened without breaking the shell apart.
Seeing Meiling reaching over with her trunk, looking like she was about to snatch the durian, Meilan decided not to bother and just put the whole durian in her mouth.
The viewers were amazed seeing Meilan eat the whole thing, shell and flesh, moving her mouth back and forth!
"Wow, that's awesome!"
"She really can eat it with the shell!"
Even though Fang Ye had mentioned that eating durian was a piece of cake for elephants, seeing those sharp, spike-like durian shells rolling around in the elephants' soft, tender mouths was still shocking.
She quickly gulped it down.
Fang Ye saw Pingping extending his trunk toward him again, looking at him with expectation, he laughed and scolded, "You've already had one and a half, the others have only had one, and you still want more?"
Pingping looked back at him as if to say, of course, who wouldn't want more of something delicious?
They continued to walk around in the elephant pavilion, watching the elephants' activities for a while!
Fang Ye said, "Alright, that's all for today's broadcast, everybody. Bye-bye~"
"Okay, see you, zookeeper!"
