August.
Cloud exhibited behaviors such as fasting, restless anxiety, and rubbing against walls, leading the animal keepers to determine she had entered the final stages of pregnancy—she was truly pregnant, not a false one!
Fang Ye had gone over to stroke Cloud a few times to comfort her, while the animal keepers closely monitored Cloud's room through surveillance deep into the night. The veterinarians were also on standby at all times.
Since she wouldn't eat bamboos, they gave Cloud some cardboard boxes to tear and bite when she was feeling distressed, to vent a little.
And that proved quite useful!
After tearing up the boxes, Cloud seemed to have calmed down a bit.
However, by nighttime, she began to show more signs of distress.
Leaning motionlessly against the wall, she looked very pained just by looking at her through the monitor.
It was likely she was about to give birth!
