Chapter 125 The Talking Lion

The principal came over to take a look, his face was a little dark.

"Where's Xiao Liu?" He stared fiercely at the subordinate next to him, "What about the others? This cub is only one month old, why doesn't he stay alone with the lioness? Put it here and be careful not to be stepped on by other big lions."

"Principal." The subordinate looked at Su Wu and the others in embarrassment, "Xiao Liu resigned and left last week."

The principal was stunned.

Facing Su Wu's inquisitive gaze, his voice suddenly dropped, and he said with a embarrassed face: "This kid will leave as soon as he says. Why has no one mentioned this to me?"

The subordinate couldn't help complaining secretly.

You have to pay wages on time, and no one wants to leave.

After complaining to his subordinates, the director asked, "Then who is raising these lions now?"

The subordinate whispered a few words, put the materials at hand into the director's hand, and left in a hurry.

The two thought they were speaking privately, but Su Wu, who had sharp ears and eyes, could hear them clearly.

He couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

It looks like the zoo is on the verge of breaking down, and it can't even find a dedicated lion keeper.The subordinate just now was going to find someone to role-play.

"Director," Su Wu kissed Su Wan who was waving in the fence.

He walked over, pointed to the cub inside, and said bluntly: "You have the information of this cub on hand, please show me."

Maybe it was because Su Wu spoke too confidently, or maybe the principal was too guilty.Before he could react, the document in his hand had inexplicably entered the hands of the man opposite him.

Su Wu flipped through the above data, and quickly found the column of lions.He looked at the cub's data and asked, "What is the order of this cub?"

Are you the principal or am I the principal?
The director felt very uncomfortable, but he still resigned to his fate and came over to carefully compare the above data.

Before he received a call from Su Wu asking for a donation, he was almost overjoyed.Would you dare to disobey this God of Wealth who doesn't know whether it is true or false.

"It should be No. [-], the one with the lightest weight." The director pointed to the last row of data above, and explained: "Last week, the breeder Xiao Liu told me that a lion cub was kicked by a lioness. , I have a problem with my leg."

When Su Wu and Wen Lan heard this, they were both stunned and turned their heads to look.

They took a closer look.Only then did I realize that the little guy really couldn't bear the force on his left hind leg, so he could only drag himself on the ground.No wonder it takes three steps and one fall.

"This cub is still so young, it should stay with its biological lioness most of the time. How could the lioness kick it?"

The director's mouth was a little bitter.

It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, so naturally the lion is the same.

Of course, a normal lioness will not kick her cubs casually, but there is an exception.That is the lack of milk for the lioness.

Once it feels that it cannot feed so many children, in order to ensure the future of the lion group, it will choose to keep the strongest children.Because in difficult circumstances, only the strongest children have the greatest chance of surviving.

At the same time, the lioness also excludes the weakest children.Neither give it milk, nor pay attention to it, let it fend for itself.

This is the most basic natural selection.

Of course, that was the cruel wild nature. Now it is a guarded zoo, and the situation is slightly different.

The lioness refused to feed it milk, so the staff had to formulate their own milk to feed the cub to ensure its survival.

Even so, a few days ago this little lion wanted to come over to grab milk from his brothers and sisters.However, as soon as he got close to the lioness, he was waiting for his brothers to eat and drink enough to give him a pacifier, when he was kicked hard by the lioness, and his hind legs were broken on the spot.

After the principal said this, Wen Lan's eyes turned red.

She lay on the fence, scratched her neck in distress, looked inside, gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of lioness is this, how can it be like this?"

The head of the garden didn't think so.He said lightly: "It's normal. This is how wild animals can preserve their populations."

"But this is a zoo, not a wild place! How could a lioness suffer from malnutrition and insufficient milk?" Wen Lan said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that animal protection organizations will accuse you of cruelty to animals?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but what can I do?" The director's face was gloomy.He laughed, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Madam Su, do you think the animal protection has not come? On the contrary, they have come many times, but so what?"

The director spread his hands, "I personally don't mind if they can solve the problem by accusing them."

"What's going on?" Wen Lan was puzzled.

The principal nodded. He managed to find two people to complain about, and he continued on his own.

"What else can happen? No money."

He said: "This Zhenhe (Harmony) city is not only poor, with few people, but also has many zoos. Ever since our garden opened for business, it has been empty like this."

"In the past four years, the Eastern Suburb Zoo has had four directors. However, there is still no improvement here. The animals usually can't even eat enough meat."

Speaking of this, he paused and let out a long sigh.

"You don't know, when I first became the director of the garden, I also wanted to take good care of all the animals in the garden."

"It's just that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. The funds sent by the higher authorities every year are not much, and it can even be said to be stretched, and there is nothing I can do."

Only then did Wen Lan remain silent.

She had also been penniless before, and she could best understand the director's feelings.

The principal clapped his hands and gestured to the surrounding environment.

"Mrs. Su, you must have noticed that the various gardens here are very large. In fact, they are indeed large in size, but more importantly, I really have no choice but to transfer some animals to other brother zoos. That's why it's even more interesting. open."

He shook his head.

"If we don't do this, let alone a lion cub without milk, I'm afraid that all the animals in the park will be without milk."

Just then, the little lion finally reached the fence and howled at Su Wan through the barbed wire.

The little girl squatted down excitedly.She stretched out her little hand vigorously, trying to reach through the small grid and touch the little guy inside.

Su Wu hurriedly stopped him, pointing to the little lion inside, "Wanwan, do you like it?"

"I like it..." Su Wan shouted with a smile on her face.The little girl slipped through her father's long legs at once, and stretched out her hand unswervingly, she would only be willing to touch it.

The lion cub inside was also howling, with its little head pressing hard against the grid, and its two front paws trying to grab the barbed wire, looking like it couldn't wait to get out.

However, this Eastern Suburb Zoo is a newly built zoo with all kinds of facilities, especially the protection measures are in place.

No matter how hard Su Wan outside or the little lion inside was, it was impossible to touch each other.

"Father..." Su Wan quickly recognized the reality.

She stood up and hugged Su Wu's calf tightly, pointed to the howling little lion inside, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Su Wu's heart ached for a while, and he quickly picked up his daughter and wiped her tears, "Don't worry. Dad knows what you mean. Wait for a while."

Seeing Su Wu's calm face, the director knew that his eloquent complaints just now had no effect on this man.

He had no choice but to lean over with a smirk, and said with a strange expression: "Mr. Su, your daughter seems to get along very well with this little lion."

After speaking, he looked at the data on the data in doubt, and said to himself: "Maybe this cub is not the number four written on it."

"What?" Su Wu was puzzled.

He looked at the data above, and didn't pay attention to anything else, he just remembered the line of weight: four weeks, 2348 grams.

Su Wu shook his head speechlessly.

The lightest lion cub in the city zoo weighed 2513 grams at three weeks.The cubs around here are actually lighter than the three-week-old ones over there.

The headmaster hesitated.

"I remember it very clearly. Before Xiao Liu left his job, he specifically described No. [-]."

"He said that the cub, number four, probably wouldn't survive even if we nursed him. Because he's so taciturn and has been lying on his stomach all the time."

"Generally speaking, it's not a good thing for a lion cub to be too quiet. In this way, it has neither friends nor enough exercise, and it is easy to be rejected by other siblings. The lioness will also dislike it even more."

"But look at it right now," the director pointed to the little lion on the fence, "it's obviously like a chatterbox, it keeps yelling..."
