Chapter 24 The Roaring Tiger Cub
The little White Tiger's tumble was also very adorable.
Limbs splayed out, in the shape of the character "木".
"Awoo!"
The little White Tiger blinked, let out a milky cry with a bit of a tremble in its voice.
With some effort, it stood up again, its slender tail swaying languidly behind it, the tip pointing downwards.
It didn't crawl a few steps before toppling over again.
"Woo, awoo!"
"Good, very energetic!"
"The cute tiger roars!"
"Aaah, the little milky tiger is too cute! I'm dying of cuteness!"
"Pick up the small tiger and it's a hundred-meter sprint!"
The number of people in the live stream room rose without anyone noticing!
The earlier several rocket donations attracted a wave of netizens to join in and grab shrimp balls.
They intended to grab the props and leave, but once they entered, they saw the little White Tiger "awoo awoo" crying, staggering as it learned to walk!
Their attention was immediately captivated.
What games, what female streamers, there are plenty on the platform!
A live stream of a little White Tiger walking, is that something you can just see anytime you want?
Even many White Tiger-loving netizens became 'water armies,' actively promoting the live stream room!
"Bros, come quick and watch the White Tiger live stream, you'll miss it if you're late!"
"A little White Tiger so cute it'll make you bleed from adorableness!"
"Attention, high energy ahead, a must-watch for tough guys!"
"For those who love to pet cats, let's offer something really strong!"
Forums, chat groups, Weibo!
Actually, there's no need for these fancy headlines.
Just post a sweet photo of the little White Tiger sleeping, and naturally, people who are interested will want to take a look!
With the enthusiastic promotion of netizens, more and more people poured into the live stream room.
"?? I thought you said there was a White Tiger?"
"Isn't this the White Tiger? Good lord, what else do you want to see?"
"Wow, the host is awesome! Where did you get the White Tiger from, aren't you afraid of the police taking you away?"
"This is a zoo, duh!"
The newcomers to the live stream room might have been a bit confused at first and asked all sorts of strange questions, but soon some kind people started to explain.
Each time the little White Tiger crawled to the edge of the mat, Fang Ye would turn it around.
The floor is cold, can't stay there for too long.
The nursery had been tidied up and was being ventilated.
Eventually, the entire floor would be covered with mats, a few wooden boards set up around, and it could crawl however it liked.
The little White Tiger could only move forward 30 to 50 centimeters at a time for now.
But after lying on the ground for a while, it quickly recovered its spirits and energetically crawled around, occasionally letting out an "awoo" or two.
Suddenly, the little White Tiger's movements became sluggish and it gradually came to a stop.
Its tail stopped swaying; it seemed a bit uncomfortable.
"Waah, waah!"
It cried out continuously.
The netizens' hearts skipped a beat, and they became anxious!
"Eh, what's happened to the little White Tiger?"
"It couldn't be hurt, could it?"
Fang Ye was not unfamiliar with the little White Tiger's abnormal state.
He waved his hand, and revealed a convincing smile: "Don't worry everyone, the little White Tiger is fine, it just needs to pee!"
Last night, he had already helped the small White Tiger urinate a few times, and now it was a good time to give a live demonstration to the netizens.
This is really lively and vivid scientific education!
He still started by boiling water, warming it up slightly.
While inserting his fingers in the kettle to feel the temperature, he explained, "The small White Tiger is just a few days old and can't defecate or urinate on its own yet! Normally, when nursing their cubs, the mother will lick their excretion zones with her tongue, stimulating the cubs to defecate and urinate.
If we're raising them by hand, then we as animal keepers have to take over this task."
The netizens were astonished!
"Ah? Do you mean you're going to... you're going to use your own..."
"My goodness! Animal keepers really have a noble job."
"Ugh, that seems a bit gross!"
Fang Ye saw these silly barrage comments, his head filling with black lines: "Cough, cough, have you all misunderstood something? We use a cloth dipped in warm water to wipe the little White Tiger's butt!"
After a while, the water became warm.
Fang Ye turned off the switch, poured the water into a basin, and then took out a piece of gauze, slightly moistened it.
Next, he slid one hand under the small White Tiger's armpit and gently lifted it!
His two fingers spread apart, supporting both sides of one of the front limbs to ensure safety.
"Wah, wah!"
The small White Tiger, being supported in the middle, had its limbs dangling down, stretching out involuntarily.
It seemed somewhat uncomfortable with this position, but still cooperated by remaining still.
"Good, nice!"
Fang Ye held the small White Tiger above a trash bin, wrapping its bottom with the gauze moistened with warm water.
The effect was immediate!
The small White Tiger stopped "wah wah" crying and obediently allowed him to fiddle around.
Its eyes opened wide, it appeared to be enjoying the feeling.
As Fang Ye's hand gently rotated the wet gauze, he smiled and explained, "Helping the little tiger urinate is quite the skill! You can't press too hard, nor move too quickly! You have to make it feel comfortable and relaxed, just like how a mother would lick."
The netizens initially watched this scene with a joking or even disdainful attitude!
They thought live broadcasting a defecation or urination session seemed somewhat unrefined.
Couldn't this kind of work be done behind the scenes?
Just show the little White Tiger practicing walking or making cute, endearing cries.
But seeing the tenderness in Fang Ye's eyes, his meticulousness in helping the small White Tiger urinate, their hearts gradually felt moved.
"The park director's amazing!"
"I was only looking at the small White Tiger, but suddenly noticed that the park director is quite handsome too?"
"Wuuu, little White Tiger, you must grow up healthy and lively!"
"I'm a pet store owner, and watching the director's live stream really struck a chord with me, reminded me of when I first opened the store! Back then, due to lack of experience, I didn't understand enough about the pets, and, well, faced many challenges.
Sending a gift to show my respect for the director's professionalism and caring attitude!"
"My son is watching the live stream with me, and he says the little tiger is so cute, and asked if that's how we took care of him when he was little. I'll definitely take him to the zoo during the holidays, to see real tigers."
"Now I really want to work at the zoo! Regretting why I didn't choose veterinary science back in the day."
"I'm also craving to snuggle the small White Tiger, really want to bury my face in its fur and take a deep breath! If I became an animal keeper, could I caress it every day?"
Zi~
The small White Tiger blinked its eyes and finally urinated, staining the gauze with a light shade of yellow, almost unnoticeable unless you look closely.
After carefully cleaning up, Fang Ye put it back on the mat.
Seeing the barrage of comments, his eyes lit up: "By the way, are there any friends who want to work at our Linhai Zoo, or volunteer? We're planning to recruit people soon."
Huh?
Quite a few people were suddenly interested!
"I can, I can!"
"I've always loved small animals since I was a child, I want to go!"
"I don't care about the rest, I mainly want to touch the small White Tiger up close!"
"Park Director, sir, are there any requirements?"
