Chapter 265: Red Pandas Show Stereotyped Behavior
Lin Ting pulled out his phone and pulled up a topographical map of the zoo. He presented it to Wu Qi and said, "The main road."
Wu Qi took a quick look and pointed at a yellow line. "This is it. Other employees discovered it first and came to us. Only then did we realize it was caused by a water leak in our park."
"This place is very close to the Red Panda Park."
"Let's go to the red panda park first." Lin Ting looked at the two people behind him.
They had no other choice but to search aimlessly.
Since Lin Ting said so, the two of them nodded.
Without waiting for the three to leave, Wu Qi quickly chased after them, "Miss Lin, can I go with you to take a look?"
He was really curious about Lin Ting's ability to communicate with animals and wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Whatever." Lin Ting had no objection to this.
Although Cao Fogong wanted to refute, he swallowed the words back as he thought of the favor he owed to the crocodile park, and took Lin Ting to the red panda park.
The Red Panda Park always has the most visitors at any time. Even at the hottest noon, it is crowded with tourists coming in to take pictures. But today there is not a single visitor in the park.
There were only staff members cleaning the park while taking care of more than a dozen red pandas. There were also two staff members patrolling the park with flashlights.
Seeing this, Lin Ting frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Cao Fogong couldn't help but ask, "Normally, your Red Panda Park has no shortage of tourists. Why aren't there any visitors today?"
One of the female staff members placed the red panda in her arms on the ground, pushed open the glass door and walked out. "Don't mention it. When we came to work this morning, we found that these little guys were all exhibiting stereotyped behaviors. We had no choice but to ask the director to close the park. Didn't you notice the No Visitors Allowed sign when you came in?"
Cao Fogong scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was in such a hurry to come in that I didn't pay attention."
Lin Ting, who was following the others, couldn't help but ask after hearing the keeper's words, "When did the red panda develop stereotyped behaviors?"
"What are the symptoms?"
Upon hearing this, the breeder noticed the little girl in a red vest following behind Cao Fogong. The girl looked familiar, but for some reason he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Li Cuicui asked directly, "Who is this girl?"
Mr. Chen immediately stepped forward and introduced, "This is Ms. Lin Ting, our zoo's external doctor."
Li Cuicui has always known Lin Ting's name. When Capibara had problems before, it was Lin Ting who went to help solve it. She didn't expect that it was such a young girl.
Li Cuicui immediately stepped forward, pushing Chen Sheng aside and approaching Lin Ting. "Hello, Miss Lin. I'm Li Cuicui, the red panda keeper. This morning, after the staff at the red panda zoo came to work, they discovered that the red pandas were exhibiting stereotyped behaviors."
"Last night, the night shift staff checked these little guys when they got off work and found nothing amiss. But this morning, they all started showing stereotyped behaviors. We asked the zoo's doctors to come and see them, and they said the red pandas exhibited these stereotyped behaviors because they were frightened."
"The red panda enclosure has always been this way. We haven't added or removed anything recently. Why was it startled out of nowhere? We even suspected a power leak, just like the Capybara incident. We called in an electrician and found no leakage. Our staff also searched inside and out for any suspicious areas, but found nothing."
"Even if Miss Lin doesn't come today, we will have to contact Miss Lin. I have even contacted the Capibara breeder to ask for Miss Lin's cell phone number."
"Have you checked the surveillance?" Lin Ting asked suspiciously.
The other three people who followed just stood there quietly, and no one dared to speak.
They have already seen Lin Ting's abilities.
Li Cuicui nodded repeatedly. "As soon as we discovered the incident, we arranged for someone to check the surveillance footage from last night. Apart from the red panda's frightened screams, we didn't see anything."
Lin Ting nodded. "Can I go in and see the red panda?"
These red pandas are as precious as the golden monkeys.
"Ms. Lin, please come in." Li Cuicui stepped forward, opened the fingerprint password door, and personally invited Lin Ting in.
"It's so scary, so scary, really scary, the bear is scared to death."
Li Cuicui casually picked up a red panda and held it in her arms. "This red panda is called Tuan Tuan. When we checked the surveillance footage, this red panda was the loudest. It's probably the most frightened one."
Woo
"It smells delicious, the bear loves it."
The red panda was immediately distracted when it smelled the sweet scent on Lin Ting.
Tuantuan opened his arms towards Lin Ting.
"A nice human hug."
Li Cuicui watched the little panda trying hard to break free from her arms and burrow into Lin Ting's arms. She was speechless. Before Lin Ting came, the little panda was closest to her. After Lin Ting came, the little panda was no longer close to her.
It is enough to see that Lin Ting does have a strong affinity for animals, even small animals are willing to get close to her when they meet her for the first time.
Without waiting for Lin Ting to ask tentatively, Li Cuicui felt the little panda struggling in her arms and directly stuffed the little panda into Lin Ting's arms, "Miss Lin Tuan Tuan probably likes you and wants you to hold it."
The red panda felt very soft, just like the fur on a dog. It was her first time holding a red panda, and she couldn't help but rub it first.
The red panda kept rubbing against her arms.
Lin Ting didn't forget her business. After she finished, she asked softly, "Tuan Tuan, did you see something scary? Can you tell me?"
Red pandas are naturally timid, so Lin Ting tried to use guiding questions as much as possible for fear of scaring the red panda.
Perhaps it was the animal-friendly scent emanating from her body that made the originally frightened Tuan Tuan gradually relax in her arms.
Woo
"It was a long, thick thing, hairless, yellow, with lots of scales. Its mouth was so big it could eat a mouse in one gulp. Its eyes were also terrifying."
"Sister, if those long yellow things eat mice, they won't eat bears anymore, right? They eat bears one by one, right?"
'The thing even brushed past the bear's butt, and the bear could feel a cool breeze.'
"Not only did it eat the mouse, it also drank the bear's unfinished milk and kept sticking its tongue out at the bear. The bad guy was provoking the bear. Although the bear was angry, it couldn't beat the bad guy and didn't dare to attack him at all."
The other red pandas also noticed Lin Ting. They broke free from their keepers' arms and ran towards Lin Ting.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ting's body was covered with red pandas, as if they had grown out of him.
Fortunately, the red panda park has air conditioning, otherwise the red panda in the thick mink coat would wrap her up completely and she would definitely get heatstroke.
