Led by Director Song, Yang Lin passed through various exhibition halls and soon arrived at a vast panda house.
To say the least, the luxury of this panda house could be described as a lavish villa.
With transparent glass on all sides and various visitor facilities for the pandas inside, Diannan Zoo was truly treating its pandas like national treasures.
"Director Yang, this is the panda house of our Diannan Zoo. Including Yaya, there are three giant pandas inside."
As he spoke, Director Song stopped at the entrance to the panda house.
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Are all three female?"
"No, no, no, the other two are one male and one female."
As soon as Director Song said this, Yang Lin became even more confused.
"Then why are you looking for Tuantuan to mate with Yaya?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a look of embarrassment appeared on Director Song's face.
"Those two are Yaya's father and Yaya's mother."
"My apologies, my apologies."
Yang Lin never expected that Tuantuan would not only have to meet the lady but also her parents this time.
"If I had known, I would have brought some gifts. Look at this situation."
"By the way, how old are Yaya's parents this year?"
Hearing Yang Lin's question, Director Song pondered for a moment before replying:
"Yaya's father is 12 years old this year, and her mother is 13 years old. They came to our zoo a long time ago, and Yaya was the first panda cub born in our zoo."
"What?" Yang Lin's expression became strangely peculiar.
Tuantuan was 18 years old, which was 6 years older than Yaya's father. In terms of panda age, Tuantuan could be its father.
The son-in-law being older than the father-in-law sounded somewhat absurd.
However, Director Song clearly didn't care. Instead, his face was full of excitement.
"We have already checked Tuantuan's physical condition. Although it is a bit old, its physical indicators far exceed those of a prime adult panda."
"Moreover, the activity of its sperm is very high. If it can successfully mate with Yaya, it will definitely be able to produce very healthy panda cubs."
"To raise pandas so well, your zoo must have put in a lot of effort. If there's a chance, I will definitely come to your zoo to learn from you personally."
As the two were talking, a small truck drove over.
As the truck approached, Yang Lin immediately spotted Tuantuan inside, looking dejected.
And when Tuantuan saw Yang Lin, it was as if it had seen a savior.
"Director, please save me! They are abusing me!"
"They only fed me four meals a day, and every meal was bamboo and bamboo shoots. This is killing me."
Finally, when the truck door was opened, Tuantuan immediately jumped out.
The first thing it did after getting down was to tightly hug Yang Lin's leg.
"Director, let's go back to Guangxi. I can't stay here another day."
However, when this scene fell into the eyes of Director Song and the staff of Diannan Zoo, it made them burst into laughter.
"It seems that the animals from your zoo are indeed very attached to Director Yang."
"And its appetite is also very small. It only ate half of the bamboo and bamboo shoots they brought in."
"Small appetite?" Looking at Tuantuan clinging to him tightly at his feet, Yang Lin's face showed a hint of strangeness.
"Alright, alright, bear with it for now. This time you are representing Xihong Zoo. I'll add an extra meal for you every day when we get back."
After finally calming Tuantuan down, the door to the panda house also opened.
As the door opened, three pandas of different appearances walked out from the corner of the enclosure.
Compared to Tuantuan, these three pandas were clearly smaller, especially the one leading them.
Tuantuan, who had been anxious to return to Guangxi, immediately changed its expression upon seeing the three fellow pandas.
Having been sent to Guangxi since it was young, it had no opportunity to interact with its own kind for years.
Now, seeing three compatriots that looked so similar to itself, it was filled with curiosity.
Perhaps sensing something, the other two pandas voluntarily retreated into a nearby building.
Soon, only Tuantuan and Yaya were left on the open ground of the panda house.
Seeing this, Director Song patted Yang Lin's shoulder.
"Director Yang, the remaining time is for them to spend together."
"Let them cultivate their feelings. However, I can feel that Yaya is quite fond of Tuantuan, so this might be a success."
Hearing Director Song's words, Yang Lin nodded.
He hoped Tuantuan could perform well and ideally have triplets.
That way, the panda cubs would be born in about half a year.
Just as he was thinking this, Director Song spoke again:
"Director Yang, since you've come all this way, why don't I give you a tour of the park?"
Hearing Director Song's words, Yang Lin's eyes lit up.
"Great!"
Five minutes later, Yang Lin, riding in a park tour vehicle, was on the main road of Diannan Zoo.
Director Song drove while introducing the park.
"Our park has thirteen large areas, including the rare animal zone, the African free-range herbivore zone, the herbivore free-range zone, the lion and tiger manor, the peacock garden, and so on."
"Our first stop will be the rare animal zone."
"This is good, this is good. I like rare animals."
As they were talking, the entrance to the rare animal zone appeared before Yang Lin.
The first thing that caught his eye were the black bears standing on their hind legs, numbering over sixty.
However, despite their large numbers, these black bears were far inferior to the "Bear Dad and Bear Mom" of Xihong Zoo in terms of fur color and overall condition.
Behind the black bear enclosure was the orangutan enclosure, which also housed dozens of orangutans.
Then came the parrot house and the baboon house.
Seeing these, Yang Lin could still maintain some composure, but when he saw the pitch-black leopards in the enclosure next to the baboon house, he could no longer remain calm.
If leopards and clouded leopards could be described as handsome, then these black panthers before him, with their jet-black fur and golden eyes, could only be described as majestic.
Their fur was as smooth as silk, unlike the streamlined muscles of cheetahs, these black panthers had explosive, bulky muscles, clearly indicating they were power-type predators.
After a good while, he finally shifted his gaze away from the black panthers.
The next second, he turned his attention to Director Song.
"Director Song, managing so many rare animals must be a great pressure, right?"
Hearing his words, Director Song nodded with a wry smile.
"It's not just great pressure, it's immense. But what can we do about the pressure? Many of these animals were born in the park, and it's impossible to release them back into the wild."
"With their wild survival skills, releasing them would basically be a death sentence."
However, just as he finished complaining, Yang Lin spoke again.
"Perhaps we can try a different approach."
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Song was stunned.
