As more and more tourists gathered around the iron cage in the Leopard Garden, the two small lynx cats showed no signs of fear. Instead, their round, large eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.
Throughout their lives, apart from those previous poachers, they had never seen so many two-legged creatures.
Correspondingly, the visitors outside were equally curious about their identity.
"Wow, what kind of animals are these? They're so adorably cute!"
"Isn't it obvious? This is the Leopard Garden, so they must be baby leopards."
"No way, leopards aren't this round and chubby."
"Looking at their white fur, they must be snow leopards."
"Snow leopards? Are you kidding me? Do snow leopards go 'meow meow meow'?"
"I think they're cats - look, they're even kneading!"
"Whatever they are, they're just too cute! I want to hug them!"
Just as everyone was about to melt from the cuteness of the two little ones, Li Qiuyue, who had been standing at the front, suddenly pulled out a cat teaser toy from her bag.
As she extended the teaser into the cage, the two little ones immediately became excited and started playing.
The atmosphere reached a crescendo as the two little creatures performed their seemingly deliberately cute actions.
But at that moment, an agile figure suddenly darted over from the distance.
Before anyone could react, this figure positioned itself in front of the two little ones.
When people finally got a clear view of this figure, their eyes lit up.
For this suddenly appeared figure was none other than a leopard with beautiful spotted patterns all over its body.
Roar!
As the leopard opened its massive jaws, a thunderous roar echoed throughout the Leopard Garden area.
Instantly, all the visitors fell silent.
Although the leopard's intimidating presence wasn't as powerful as that of a Siberian tiger, it was still an apex predator of the jungle.
The caged leopard, seeing how it had frightened the visitors, showed a hint of satisfaction on its face.
But in the next second, the two little ones jumped onto its back one after another.
Under its puzzled gaze, the two little ones mimicked its posture, straightening their backs and opening their mouths wide.
Meow!
Meow!
Their tiny voices produced the loudest sound they'd ever made.
After meowing, the two little ones looked at the leopard with proud expressions, seemingly seeking its approval.
At that moment, the entire crowd burst into laughter, all traces of fear completely gone from their faces.
"Oh my goodness, what are these little ones doing? They're trying to be so fierce!"
"They're truly adorable creatures, just too cute!"
"While others are kings of the forest, these two are the forest's embarrassment!"
"Don't you dare say that about these little ones - they're trying their best to be scary!"
"The leopard below must be speechless - all its carefully built intimidation, destroyed in an instant by these two little ones."
"I wonder if these little ones could even catch a mouse - I have my doubts."
"I can't stop laughing - tomorrow I'm bringing my troublemaker cat's scratching post for them."
"I'm planning to donate a cat tree."
"Speaking of which, these two couldn't actually be this leopard's cubs, could they? The difference is just too huge."
Seeing everyone nearly doubled over with laughter, the leopard Li Bao seemed to feel somewhat embarrassed. Ignoring the two little ones, it climbed up to a nearby dead tree.
To think that it, a mighty jungle hunter, had such cute-selling relatives - how could it possibly save face?
At this moment, Yang Lin appeared at the Leopard Garden.
"I'm sure all visitors are curious about the identity of these two little ones."
"Let me reveal it to you now."
"Actually, they're neither cats nor leopard cubs - they're Pallas's cats."
Hearing Yang Lin's explanation, the curiosity of everyone present was immediately piqued.
"Director, aren't these just cats? They're even playing with cat toys."
"Yes, yes, they look just like little kitties, and they even knead!"
"That's because Pallas's cats are also members of the cat family, related to domestic cats," Yang Lin continued to explain.
"It's normal for them to have similar habits to house cats, but they are genuine small predators, capable of hunting wild rabbits, pikas, and sand grouse independently."
Although Yang Lin was explaining very seriously, the two little ones in the cage weren't cooperating at all.
One moment they were playing with the cat teaser, the next they had somehow found a small ball.
From time to time, they would seriously groom their fur and wash their faces.
They looked nothing like small predators at all.
"By the way, Director, do these little ones have names?"
A young girl suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, everyone eagerly turned their curious gazes toward Yang Lin.
"Since these little ones just arrived, we haven't had time to name them yet." After saying this, Yang Lin suddenly remembered something and quickly took out his phone.
"How about this - I'll start a voting activity on our zoo's official TikTok account."
"Everyone can suggest names for these little ones, and I'll choose the two names with the most likes."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone present became excited.
"So you're saying we get to decide what to call these little ones?"
"Is this for real?"
"Director, hurry up and post on TikTok! I've already thought of perfect names for them!"
"Yes, yes, I've got it - let's call the chubby one Little Dumpling, and the chubbier one Braised Pork with Noodles."
"Are you seriously ill or something?"
"My suggestions are better - let's call the chubby one Little Fatty and the chubbier one Big Fatty."
"Let me try, let me try, one should be called..."
......
Almost instantly, the enthusiasm of everyone present was ignited.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Lin began filming videos of the two little ones.
True to their talent for being adorable, every single movement they made could melt people's hearts.
Every shot was excellent, and with the two little ones occasionally teasing the leopard Li Bao, the entire video became an instant hit.
After finishing the recording, Yang Lin quickly posted the video along with the naming contest on TikTok.
As soon as his video was posted, it immediately attracted massive attention from netizens.
Within just ten minutes, the view count skyrocketed, and the number of comments surpassed the likes to an ridiculous degree.
One particular comment attracted tens of thousands of likes.
