Wang Fan also learned for the first ti that at the animal nursery, there’s no need for special classifications; many baby animals are raised together.
These little ones aren’t newborns; they’ve reached the toddler stage, most of them about the size of a teddy bear.
Baby brown bears, Northeast tiger cubs, hyena pups, and a few golden retriever puppies served as their little playmates. The biggest surprise for the two was finding a tiny golden snub-nosed monkey sitting on a little platform, biting its fingers.
Although the other little animals were also cute, once the little golden monkey sat there, it beca the absolute focal point.
Its head was round, with small and delicate ears hidden in golden fur. Its eyes were large and bright, revealing a clever and curious expression. Its long tail dangled from the wooden fra, swinging from ti to ti.
Who could resist a little golden snub-nosed monkey, all cute and glittering under the lights?
Director Liu smiled and said, "Thanks to you, our zoo’s performance has improved, and these little animals finally have better conditions."
While Wang Fan was still standing there, Zhuo Qianqian’s eyes were already sparkling as she went off to find the little golden monkey.
Seeing the caretaker young lady standing to the side, Zhuo Qianqian asked eagerly, "Miss, can I pet it?"
The young lady smiled and said, "Of course, golden snub-nosed monkeys are very sociable. Here, I have so food you can give it."
After saying this, she handed Zhuo Qianqian so food that the little golden monkey usually eats.
Zhuo Qianqian was overjoyed and carefully picked up a slice of peeled apple to hand to the little golden monkey.
The little golden monkey looked at Zhuo Qianqian with its big, watery eyes, making her heart lt.
Seeing the apple, the little golden monkey reached out with its furry little paw and took the apple, but it didn’t eat it right away.
It glanced around and, seeing it had nothing good to exchange, plucked a shiny golden monkey hair from its head and handed it to Zhuo Qianqian.
At that mont, Zhuo Qianqian was absolutely convinced that Sun Wukong’s original form must have been a golden snub-nosed monkey; it couldn’t have been anything else.
Only this type of golden snub-nosed monkey could have been irresistible to Master Puti.
Zhuo Qianqian opened her palm, and the little guy placed the golden hair in her hand before gracefully nibbling on the apple, its actions surpassing the elegance of many humans.
Director Liu brought Wang Fan over and cheerfully said to Zhuo Qianqian, "Just in ti, this little golden monkey needs a na. How about you two give it one?"
Wang Fan was surprised, "We can na it?"
Director Liu nodded, "Yes, the animals’ nas here are all given by us."
Watching the little golden monkey eat, Zhuo Qianqian didn’t disturb it. Instead, she curiously asked, "So what are the nas of these little animals?"
Director Liu pointed to two little black bears wrestling together, "These two are Tiedan on the left and Tiezhu on the right."
Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian were speechless upon hearing the nas, staring blankly at Director Liu.
Director Liu, a bit embarrassed, coughed slightly and said, "Well, you know... there’s an old saying that nas given lightly are good for survival. These two had a rough start at birth, so we gave them these nas."
Wang Fan nodded, but he didn’t believe it, not even the punctuation marks.
Had he not visited a zoo before, he might have believed Director Liu’s nonsense.
Their parents’ nas were quite trendy: one was called Brown, and the other was called Bell.
Initially, Wang Fan didn’t find anything special until Zhuo Qianqian ntioned the English na for brown bears.
Wang Fan, knowing many animal nas, couldn’t help but think of the parents’ nas when Director Liu said the young jaguar’s na was "Bangbang."
The father of the jaguar is nad Leon, and the mother is nad Little Bu.
Combining elents from the parents’ nas, they ended up naming the offspring Brown Bang...
Following this reasoning, Wang Fan saw a small European Lynx. Before Director Liu could speak, Wang Fan tentatively asked, "Is this young lynx’s na ’Dagang’?"
Director Liu looked at Wang Fan in surprise, "How did you know? Did soone tell you?"
Wang Fan, speechless, retorted, "If I’m not mistaken, its father is nad Erwang, and its mother is nad Little Eight. Each takes a character, becoming Erba, leading to a child nad Dagang, fitting your naming logic perfectly."
"Pfft..." Zhuo Qianqian couldn’t hold back her laughter, quickly covering her mouth and chuckling hard.
Director Liu, embarrassed, coughed a few tis, "It’s a coincidence, just a coincidence!"
"Haha..."
Wang Fan didn’t continue talking, fearing Director Liu might get angry. Turning his attention to the adorable golden monkey, Wang Fan decided to let Zhuo Qianqian rescue the little golden monkey with a na.
This little golden monkey’s father should be nad Chong Yang, and its mother Erwan. If Director Liu nad it, who knows how extravagant it could beco.
"You na the little golden monkey."
Zhuo Qianqian quickly composed herself, excitedly looking at the little golden monkey.
Director Liu began to explain, "We don’t usually perform artificial rearing here. Many first-ti parents of these little ones accidentally hurt them, which is why we brought them here for treatnt.
The mother of this little golden monkey, Erwan, was initially very patient, but suddenly bit it recently. After calming down, she bit it again not long after, so we had to intervene artificially."
Hearing this, Zhuo Qianqian felt a pang of sympathy for the well-behaved and adorable little one. With its golden glow, quiet deanor, and politeness, it would be considered a harbinger of good fortune in ancient tis.
"How about we call it Ruirui?"
"Ruirui?"
The caretaker young lady’s eyes lit up upon hearing the na. She thought it sounded beautiful, perfectly suited for this little golden monkey princess.
At least it was more fitting than the nas given by the director!
Director Liu also nodded in agreent; though lacking a bit of the individuality in the nas he thought of, it was still a decent choice.
"Alright, we’ll call it Ruirui."
The little golden monkey continued calmly and gracefully eating the apple, unaware that a group of humans had just given it a na.
At that mont, Director Liu had no idea that this little golden monkey would beco the zoo’s icon, attracting countless visitors from afar to witness Ruirui’s stunning beauty.
Even though they couldn’t pet the red pandas or giant pandas, the appearance of the little golden monkey made the trip worthwhile for the pair.
They even hugged the Northeast golden tabby at the nursery, which delighted Wang Fan.
