"Please tell me which of the following animals you would be unable to escape from quickly."

"Friends, this is clearly a question designed to give away points."
In the live stream, Teacher Xiaoliang once again pointed at the question with full confidence.
"The first item in the answer is a typical chimpanzee, which inhabits tropical rainforests and does not possess excessive aggression."
"And I recognize this chimpanzee. It usually attacks from a distance by throwing feces and dirt, so we can escape quickly."
"Therefore, we can rule out this option."
Hearing Teacher Xiaoliang's analysis this time, netizens felt that he wasn't entirely ignorant of the animals at Xihong Zoo.
"Next, we have option b. This is an adult female Siberian tiger. It's particularly aggressive, and felines are more interested in moving objects. So, if we encounter one in the wild, we must never run away quickly, as this will only incite its ferocity even more."
"Alright, at this point, the answer is obvious."
Just as Teacher Xiaoliang was filled with confidence, the comments from netizens made him doubt his life again.
"Another wrong answer. I know the correct answer, but I won't say it."
"Hahaha, I know too. With the first three, you can truly escape if you want to at Xihong Zoo, but with the fourth, you absolutely cannot run."
"I couldn't agree more. The last time I went to Xihong Zoo, I had planned to visit all the areas, but I accidentally went into the leopard enclosure and was entangled by these two little guys."
"We were stuck there for the entire afternoon and couldn't leave. It felt like you were committing a crime if you didn't play with them."
"So, the correct answer to this question should be d."
"Three wrong answers in a row. This is a first for Teacher Xiaoliang."
"I can only say that the animals at Xihong Zoo cannot be treated with the perspective of ordinary animals."
...
Looking at the barrage of comments, a hint of fox-like confusion appeared on Teacher Xiaoliang's face.
After a full half-minute, he suddenly understood with a wry smile, shaking his head.
"I almost forgot this was the entrance exam for Xihong Zoo. Conventional thinking is a killer."
Although Teacher Xiaoliang didn't answer a single question correctly, the atmosphere in the live stream instantly picked up.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of people were watching him answer questions online.
And as they answered the questions, everyone realized that the exam compiled by Yang Lin indeed had a certain level of difficulty.
It not only tested common knowledge about the animals in Xihong Zoo but also some professional questions related to animals and some issues encountered during animal care in the zoo.
Each question was designed with great care and specificity.
By the time Teacher Xiaoliang finished the entire exam, more than an hour had passed.
Since all the questions were objective, the official examination system immediately provided the final answers and scores after he clicked submit.
The moment his exam score was revealed, the audience in the live stream burst into laughter.
Because the screen clearly displayed a large "59."
This meant that Teacher Xiaoliang had failed the exam and, consequently, had not passed the online assessment, nor did he qualify for the preliminary round.
Teacher Xiaoliang was stunned in front of the live camera.
"Oh my god, I can't stop laughing, everyone. Teacher Xiaoliang actually scored a failing grade."
"I thought he was going to be a god descending to smite five, but he was defeated right at the start."
"My most trusted popular science blogger couldn't even pass the entrance exam for Xihong Zoo."
"To be honest, if I were to take that exam, I think I might score slightly higher than Teacher Xiaoliang."
"Ultimately, his professional knowledge constrained him."
"Because he was too professional, he failed the assessment."
"However, Teacher Xiaoliang's explanations of animal-related knowledge were quite beneficial to me."
"Still not familiar enough with Xihong Zoo."
"I've seen many other bloggers of similar types, and several have also failed. Of course, there were also quite a few who passed."
"This online assessment must have eliminated more than half of the applicants, and with those who can't go to Ningnan, there won't be many left."
...
As the exam concluded, a large number of netizens soon began to share their exam results online.
Most of them were unsatisfactory, but a small portion had passed the exam perfectly.
These individuals who passed the exam instantly became objects of envy.
After all, those who passed this exam generally meant that they had a good understanding of general animal knowledge and were also very familiar with the animals at Xihong Zoo.
Of course, they also knew that simply passing the online selection did not necessarily mean they would officially become employees of Xihong Zoo.
Because there would still be preliminary rounds, re-examination, and final interviews, and the final selection would only be for 10 positions.
It could almost be imagined that the subsequent preliminary and re-examination rounds would be fraught with difficulties.
Upon realizing this, those who had passed the online test immediately began to intensively study knowledge related to animals and Xihong Zoo.
Specialized training courses even began to appear online.
And just as the selection and assessment for Xihong Zoo employees were in full swing, Yang Lin's administrative office welcomed a group of guests from out of town.
"Hello, Director Yang. We are from Modu Satellite TV."
Upon hearing the self-introduction of the group opposite him, Yang Lin initially thought their purpose was the same as the media reporters in the morning, to interview the award-winning animals.
However, after they explained their reason for visiting, he was completely taken aback.
"It's like this. The reason we're visiting your zoo this time is that our 'Wonderful Friends' program team wants to collaborate with your zoo on an event."
"The format of the event would be that we would arrange for a group of celebrities to participate in your zoo's employee assessment and work as interns at your zoo."
"Celebrities? Interning at our zoo?" Upon hearing the other party's request, Yang Lin thought he had misheard.
"Yes, this time we want celebrities to experience the work of an animal keeper."
"Since your zoo is currently recruiting employees, we would like to jointly hold this recruitment event with your zoo."
"Director Yang, please rest assured, all the expenses for the event will be covered by us, and everything else will be arranged according to your wishes."
Just as Yang Lin was about to say he needed to consider it, a sentence from the other party immediately brought a smile to his face.
"In addition, our program team will provide your zoo with a sponsorship fee of five million, and we will also donate a batch of living supplies for the animals at your zoo."
As soon as the staff member from Modu Satellite TV finished speaking, Yang Lin tightly clasped his hand.
