I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 216: Who Else but Me!



```

"Who is King Julien?" a netizen asked, puzzled.

Someone immediately explained enthusiastically, "King Julien is a character from the animated movie 'Madagascar', the leader of the lemurs from Madagascar Island!"

"After all, this is an animated film, it might need some artistic licence," Fang Ye laughed, "although I've never seen 'Madagascar', I have watched 'Zootopia'. There's a character in it, Chief Bogo, who, if we're being picky, has a bit of a problem."

"Eh, what's the problem with Chief Bogo?"

"Chief Bogo has two rows of teeth, but in reality, cows only have bottom teeth, not top teeth!"

After Fang Ye finished speaking, the netizens were shocked again!

"Nani!?"

"My friends and I are stunned!"

"Shocked! Without upper teeth, wouldn't chewing wear down their upper jawbones?"

"I've grown up eating beef noodles for so many years, and I never knew this!"

Fang Ye explained, "Cows have their incisors on the lower jaw, and the upper jaw is made up of a keratinized pad. They chew and crush the grass they eat by grinding it against this pad with the lower teeth.

In fact, not only bovids but also many ungulates are like this. Pigs, cows, sheep, deer, and so on have well-developed lower incisors, while the upper incisors are either reduced or completely absent."

"Strange knowledge has increased!"

Fang Ye laughed, "This year is the Year of the Ox, so I'm just sharing some fun facts about cows.

Now, back to the ring-tailed lemurs, their society is matriarchal, ruled by a female leader.

Most primates usually have males as their leaders, so why are ring-tailed lemurs so special? It's speculated that because there are no large predators on Madagascar Island, there's no need for strong males to protect the group. Instead, since females have control over reproduction, they take the dominant role.

In the lemur groups, females and their offspring get priority at mealtime, with males eating later. Males also maintain their distance from females, giving way to them, which might seem rather gentlemanly.

Males only fight for the right to mate with females during the breeding season; otherwise, they live together in peace.

Other females in the group, if they feel up to it, can challenge the queen at any time for leadership, with fights mostly being physical conflicts."

"Let's go see which one is the queen!"

Saying so, Fang Ye came to the center of the beach where several ring-tailed lemurs were basking in the "Sunshine".

He squatted down and his gaze shifted among the lemurs, sizing them up as they gave him equally intent looks.

Eye of Observation activated!

Hmm, several indeed are females.

After confirming, Fang Ye extended his hand in greeting and asked, "Hello? Are you the queen? Or is it you?"

The netizens found this amusing and speculated, "What's the park director's plan for identifying the queen? Is he going to use animal language to communicate?"

"I think they all look exactly the same, there's no difference!"

"Oooh~" Continue your journey with empire

At that moment, one of them curiously called out to Fang Ye!

Fang Ye pondered for a moment, stroking his chin, then confidently said, "I think I know which one's the queen!"

The netizens expressed their disbelief, "Eh, did he really communicate in animal language?"

"Is the one that responded the queen?"

"It's not the one that called out! I guess this one is the queen," Fang Ye pointed at a particularly composed ring-tailed lemur in the middle.

He then explained, "An animal keeper friend taught me that you can tell which one is the queen by looking at the fluffiness at the tip of their tails. I've checked their tails, and this one seems a bit fluffier.

But it's not just that! If you look at these few, they are all more or less distracted, turning their heads left and right, and this one on the left even called out to me."

```

That one in the middle is the most composed!

Look at its sitting posture, legs spread out firmly, not moving an inch, doesn't it have the air of a gang boss, sitting like a feudal lord with an aura of authority?

Huh, it glanced at me, from the look in its eyes, don't you think there's a dignified presence that commands respect without anger?"

"Ah, you can even discern that majestic presence?"

"Really outrageous, no matter how I look, it's just one expression."

"Eh, now that the zoo director mentioned it, I really can see the difference! This one does seem more composed, truly like a commanding general."

"Really? Aren't you and the zoo director just pulling our legs?"

Some netizens believed, others didn't, sparking a debate.

Fang Ye chuckled, "It's simple to verify if our guess is right or not, we just need to offer some food and see who eats first, surely the one with the highest status gets to enjoy the delicacy first."

After saying that, he pulled out a jujube from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.

At that moment, the ring-tailed lemur in the middle sitting silently, suddenly got up from the ground, approached Fang Ye, extended its paw, took the jujube and started eating.

Looking at the other ring-tailed lemurs, even though their eyes were full of longing, they showed no objection and made no move to compete!

Netizens who were initially skeptical were left speechless by this scene, with nothing but admiration for Fang Ye!

"Awesome!"

"Just by observing he found the queen, truly this is the difference between us and the zoo director."

"Zoo director rules!"

If being close to fierce animals like tigers indicates treating animals with sincerity and taking meticulous care of them, thus creating a bond of mutual trust and friendly coexistence,

then to identify the queen from a group of ring-tailed lemurs requires extensive knowledge and a keen and detailed sense of observation!

Fang Ye, with a smile, gently stroked the queen's head, who, while eating the jujube, watched him with a solemn and authoritative gaze.

How daring, to show such disrespect towards me, the sovereign of thirty subjects, the monarch of ring-tailed lemurs!

Feel like something's missing?

That's right, we're missing some bgm!

Fang Ye's eyes lit up, he snapped his fingers, found the song "Who But Me" on his phone, and played it!

The grandiose melody of the bgm started, kicking off with a powerful chorus: "Majestic skies above, sun and moon high up, the palace beauties pale in comparison, and stir the heart of the monarch...

Ruling alone for three dynasties, grasping all royal duties, cold as frost punishing the corrupt, easing burdens and taking pity on the farmers' plight..."

The chorus was magnificent and full of might!

In front of my eyes seemed to unfold a vast historical tapestry, an empress with an icy face, with one command, heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers...

The ring-tailed lemur queen seemed to be inspired by a surge of pride, leaping onto Fang Ye's head and sitting firmly on top.

At this moment, the song reached its climax: "Who but me!! Who but me!! In this vast world!!"

The queen, majestic and commanding, munched on the jujube, her tail sweeping as if it could cut down a thousand armies, eyes sparkling with a domineering spirit!

"Haha, seems like the ring-tailed lemurs really like sitting on the zoo director's head! It's like their throne."

"This bgm actually fits pretty well."

"Really playful," sighed Fang Ye as he helplessly lowered the queen to the ground, seeing that she still wanted to jump onto his head, he quickly turned off the song before it could loop for a second play.

Then the queen again became composed and continued to meditate facing the sun.

To the netizens, he said, "Alright, that's enough of the ring-tailed lemurs, let's go see the lions next. By the way, what do you guys think we should name the queen?"
