Let me talk about myself first. I used to be a keeper in the zoo.
Wolves, in the minds of many people, may be an extremely vicious and cruel animal.
The titles of cruelty, bloodthirsty, and killing are accompanied by countless folk stories, all of which are attributed to animals like wolves.
In fact, wolves are not so scary. On the contrary, wolves can be said to be the safest carnivorous animals in zoos.
Compared to the instability of lions and tigers, wolves are actually gentle like obedient babies.
Everyone can observe that many wolf keepers in the zoo dare to enter the wolf field alone, and no one dares to replace it with lions and tigers.
Wolves, as an animal, are raised to a level similar to dogs, and their level of kinship is no less than that of dogs, but their obedience is far lower than that of dogs.
There's no other way, the dog has been domesticated.
I used to manage wolf packs in the zoo, and our wolf pack was originally 9.
At that time, because the wolf keeper's father-in-law was seriously ill, I managed the wolf pack for him for two months.
The wolves in our zoo don't eat well, but they are not bad either. They are fed daily, once a day, and each wolf is supplied with 6 pounds of meat per day.
However, most of these 6 pounds of meat are imperfect leftovers, such as some chicken, a small amount of beef, and chicken bones.
The first thing I did when I started managing a pack of wolves was to establish a good relationship with them and feed them some delicious food to win them over.
At that time, there was a local trend of raising wild boars (crossbreeding), and I don't know who started it, telling farmers to raise wild boars to make money.
At first, the common people didn't believe it, but the seller of wild boar seedlings continued to coax and deceive, and what they said sounded so good.
After buying wild boars, (1200 piglets) raise them for over a year, and after they are sold, they will recycle them.
50% of the feed money will be reimbursed, and the money for the wild boar cubs will be refunded. Let's settle the accounts, buddy. It's more profitable than raising wild boars.
I went to great lengths to buy wild boar cubs, but this hybrid wild boar eats a lot, grows meat slowly, and has a tough and tough texture.
There was not much fat all over the body, and in the end, the wild boar grew up. The farmers went to find the traffickers who had sold their piglets back then.
But I found that everyone had disappeared without a trace. That year, pork was already very cheap, and wild boar meat was not delicious at all.
The quantity is too large, and it tastes tough. In the end, everyone can only take these wild boar meat to the dog market to sell.
The price is extremely cheap, 3 yuan per kilogram (half fan with bones and meat), calculated at this price, it is almost the same as the price of chicken.
At that time, I bought about 2 or 3 wild boars, all of which were half fans. There was a big snow pit on the back mountain of our zoo, and I hid all these wild boar meat in the snow pit.
This group of wolves has a variety of breeds, including ordinary gray wolves, larger mixed race horses and some wolves, and some are crossbred wolves.
Most of them have hybrid ancestry.
Fantasizing to create a litter of puppies that can be as strong as wolves, but this is a serious violation of discipline and no one will do it.
I heard that some small zoos charge fees and use wolves to breed dogs. Of course, it's just a rumor.
The normal wolf's gaze is stunned, but Loli, this wolf, has a very gentle gaze and usually has a lady like demeanor.
Eating is also very slow, and other wolves will crazily swallow the meat into their stomachs in order to eat more, then run to the corner to spit out the meat and slowly chew it.
And Loli is more silly and cute, only eating slowly, which leads to her eating very little meat every time.
During that time, I secretly fed some wild boar meat to Loli every day. Loli gradually became more and more familiar with me, and every time I waved my hand.
She came running over with her mouth open, waiting for me to throw meat, but she refused to get too close to me. The distance was controlled at about 3-4 meters.
As soon as I tried to touch her, Loli immediately ran away with a thud.
But no matter how cunning the wolf is, it cannot escape the palm of the old hunter. I ponder every day how to touch Loli a few times.
Until one afternoon, Loli and a wolf ran back and forth in the field, sometimes arching the grass on the ground, and sometimes smelling the soil.
Suddenly, Loli saw a can that had been thrown in by a tourist, and her attention was drawn to the can.
From time to time, I took two bites of the can, and when I saw this scene, I walked around from behind and hugged loli.
Loli was so scared that she immediately wanted to turn back and bite me, making a barking sound (wolves also bark, usually when driving out other animals in their territory).
Turning around and about to bite me, I quickly let go and ran.
I don't know if it was my recklessness this time, or if Loli found out that I wouldn't hurt her and informed her companions.
In the days to come, these wolves gradually began to accept me, and in the end, all of them became my good friends.
Every time I enter the wolf's infield, I shout out loudly, and with a single shout, a pack of wolves all rush towards me. The way wolves express affection is different from dogs
Dogs lick people crazily, while wolves bite lightly (without exerting force).
Until one time, around 6 pm, when I entered a pack of wolves, they immediately surrounded me and began to bite me crazily, expressing their love for me. As a result, I fell down and the pack of wolves started to lick and bite me crazily. I myself was afraid of itching.
A group of wolves made me scream and itch, but a wandering old man saw it and called the police.
Say that wolves eat humans in our zoo.
It was said that a group of wolves had bitten me and screamed loudly, and only when the police arrived did they realize that there was a big problem.
During that time, there was an old wolf in our zoo who was pregnant and had a growing belly. The leader asked a colleague from our unit to manage this old wolf.
This old wolf was kept separately, mainly because it was afraid that other wolves would play and cause the little wolf in its belly to be injured.
The caretaker responsible for managing the old wolf gave him the nickname"ghosts", which means he would die if he raised anything, die if he raised an ostrich, die if he raised a peacock.
At that time, many people felt that it was not appropriate, after all, this person was unreliable, but due to the arrangement of the leader, everyone could not say anything more.
I thought, no matter how bad the ghost sees sorrow, I wouldn't go crazy and mistreat a pregnant animal, so I handed over the old wolf to him.
At that time, the old wolf's diet was 8 pounds of meat, 3 pounds of beef, 3 pounds of lamb, and 2 pounds of bone deer meat, fed twice a day.
I was really busy during that time. I had to clean up every day, manage various animals, and patrol the park to prevent old men and children from climbing over walls and getting injured.
When "ghosts" see sorrow, they hide in the house every day playing poker and games.
After a while, I calculated that the due date was approaching, so I went to look for the "ghosts" to see the sorrow. If I couldn't find him, I went to find the old wolf myself.
As a result, upon arriving at the place, the old wolf lay in the cage and shed amniotic fluid all over the ground.
I touched the old wolf and suddenly realized.
Her spine was so thin that it protruded, feeling like a dry bone.
I saw it all like this and quickly went to find "ghosts". This kid is playing games inside the house.
We both rushed to the wolf shed.
I took out a chicken skeleton and threw it to the old wolf.
I looked in the pickled Chinese cabbage jar. There were frozen chicken bones and chicken livers. I grabbed him and questioned him.
"Did you steal the meat and sell it for money again?" "ghosts" remained silent.
I went to see the wolf. The old wolf was lying on the side of the ground, licking her big belly and panting. Her mouth couldn't even close, so I reached into her mouth and touched it.
The tongue and mouth are like sandpaper, losing the luster of a normal oral cavity and devoid of moisture.
The body fluids and amniotic fluid on the ground are all in puddles.
As soon as I saw that this was about to go wrong, I suddenly became very agitated and grabbed his collar. I yelled and asked him:
"ghosts" was a bit scared and said to me, "It's old and can't be born on its own, it's nothing to do with me."
"ghosts" remained silent.
I can only notify the leader. The leader immediately called the veterinarian to perform a cesarean section on the old wolf. During the surgery, I squatted outside.
The more I thought, the more angry I became, and I ran to the "ghosts"'s house.
The Buddha statue he worships includes Guanyin and Tathagata. Guanyin is made of porcelain, while the Tathagata is made of copper, with a layer of gold plating on the outside and copper on the inside.
With a crackling sound, I knocked over everything, including the wooden platform, and stomped on it, totaling about 10.
Those Buddhas were chubby and majestic, seemingly heavy, but in reality they were all hollow and collapsed upon stepping on them.
There is also the kind of Baojia Immortal worshipped locally in Northeast China, which is a wooden box with a red paper inside. Let me pull it and then throw it away. The wooden box was also trampled to pieces by me.
When I smashed it, "ghosts" knelt on the ground and begged me not to smash it, but I still didn't stop.
Smash all his beliefs to pieces.
After the surgery, three little wolves came out. When it was dissected, the little wolf died, and the remaining two died within a few days of being born.
That feeling is really bad. When the old wolf was pregnant, I thought I could definitely give birth to a few cute little wolves.
Unfortunately, all the previous expectations have turned into nothing, leaving nothing behind.
During a cesarean section, it was found that the wolf's uterus was severely damaged and a bit rotten. The veterinarian asked us if we wanted to remove it.
Finally, the principal and I decided to remove the old wolf's uterus and ovaries.
In the future, I will have no further contact with "ghosts". After so many years, I have never figured out a truth.
Is what I did right or not? Although "ghosts" abused the old wolf, I hurt someone for the sake of an animal.
Who is good and who is evil between us?
In the following days, I continued to manage the wolf pack until one day, another zoo brought in a wolf.
This wolf is huge in size, with a strong physique. At first glance, I was a bit scared because its size was just too big.
The muscles are wrapped in a thick layer of fat, which is both strong and fat.
The breed of chubby wolf is also hybrid, looking a bit of North American gray wolf bloodline, with thick fur. I can't say exactly what breed it is.
In short, this wolf looks particularly powerful!
Don't question why there are no purebred North American gray wolves. There are not many zoos in China that have purebred North American gray wolves, making it difficult to raise them.
But later on, I found out that this wolf seemed to be cute. Why is it cute? Because a normal and powerful wolf has very firm eyes.
Although the chubby wolf has a strong physique, his eyes are sneaky and he looks silly and timid.
The first time I put the fat wolf in the wolf area, it ran over and wanted to play with other wolves.
The wolf pack saw the fat wolf wanting to get close to them and immediately let out a barking sound, wanting to drive out the fat wolf, meaning don't get close, get close and bite you.
The chubby wolf ignored it and rushed forward, wanting to whisper to the other person, but didn't wait to run up to him.
The third in the wolf pack immediately rushed out, flipped over the fat wolf, and bit it a few times.
The fat wolf was so scared that he let out a scream and suddenly urinated all over the ground. The third person pressed on the fat wolf's body, and his feet trembled with fear.
Seeing them fighting, I quickly went over and drove the third one away. The fat wolf lying on the ground was almost scared unconscious.
The pupils in my eyes widened, and I trembled with fear. The urine on the ground dissipated into a large puddle.
The fat wolf was almost scared unconscious, so I lifted it up. It was indeed early for them to come into contact, and the wolf pack would not accept the fat wolf.
That day, one of my older brothers from Tianjin came to find me, and I usually call him Third Brother.
San Ge saw the fat wolf and asked me why it was so fat.
I said it was so fat when it came, and looking at my older brother's eager appearance, I asked him to touch the fat wolf a few times.
Although chubby wolves are strong, they do not have much hostility towards humans. In the past, they were also raised by other zookeepers, so they are naturally not afraid of humans.
Upon seeing it, San Ge noticed that the chubby wolf could easily touch it. After taking a few photos with him, he decided to buy some food for him.
San Ge is actually a tycoon with a lot of business in Tianjin. He directly took out 20000 yuan from his wallet and gave it to me, gesturing for me to buy meat for Fat Wolf.
I looked at the thick 20000 yuan and didn't dare to accept it. The company has a clean clause, so how can we accept money from outsiders.
After the last push and pull, my third brother decided to buy me meat for 20000 yuan. He didn't buy it on the same day, and the next day he returned to Tianjin.
Give me a call, and we've decided to buy three cows that died of illness. These cows are cheap, and we've also bought two sheep and countless frozen whole chickens.
That night, I secretly opened the back door of the zoo, carrying a truck and not daring to turn on the headlights, afraid that others would see me!
(Afraid of them stealing meat, colleagues in the zoo often steal meat and sell it.)
The three divided cows, as well as lamb and the whole chicken, were all hidden in a large snow pit on the back mountain of the zoo. Before leaving, a layer of new snow was also laid on top, afraid that others would notice.
During that time, I cleaned up during the day, and at night, I braved the cold northeast wind, wearing a military coat and pushing my small car.
Quietly ran to the snow pit, took out a few chickens, some beef and mutton, and chopped them into small pieces with an axe.
Pushing the cart to feed the animals, passing by the tiger enclosure, feeding a few pieces to the weak tiger, and passing by the lion cage, feeding a few pieces to the weak lion.
That period of time can be said to be the happiest day of my life. Thinking about the animals waiting for me made me feel particularly satisfied.
In the following days, I found that the wolf pack still refused to accept the fat wolf, and the fat wolf would be pushed aside when eating.
A group of wolves were chasing and playing in the field, with only the chubby wolf lying in the corner, afraid to step forward while watching the playing wolf pack.
At night, there will be night watchmen in the wolf pack, who stare at the fat wolves every night.
Gradually, the chubby wolf became depressed, and his once robust figure became increasingly thin and frail. At first, I wanted to find a separate breeding ground for the chubby wolf.
But wolves are still quite active animals, and there is no suitable place in the zoo for fat wolves to live.
In the end, the chubby wolf runs around the field on its own every day for several hours.
Just run around the entire field in a square shape, exhausted, go to the sink to quietly drink some water, rest for a while, and continue running around the field.
It looks extremely lonely. Gradually, the fat wolf's tail has also become bald, but I have no choice. The wolf pack does not accept it. What can I do?
It wasn't until one day, in the corner of the wolf field, that I discovered a pit where the chubby wolf was digging its own pit. It wasn't until I saw this pit that I realized the seriousness of the situation.
When wolves are old, some wolves choose to search for graves, caves, or valleys for themselves.
Some wolves also choose to dig a hole for themselves, and when they feel like they are about to die, they will find this hole and lie quietly inside, waiting for death to come.
Seeing the fat wolf start digging his own grave, I made a decision to let the fat wolf stay in the field during the day.
At night, I used a rope to lead the fat wolf around the zoo. When I went to sleep, I returned to the back mountain bungalow and slept with the fat wolf.
In this way, it can be happy and get better earlier.
That night, after cleaning up, I used a dog leash to lead the fat wolf away. In order to prevent the fat wolf from escaping, I specially bought an inner stab dog collar, which was a super large size.
But wolves, as an animal, were still beyond my imagination. Even after being extremely thin, they weighed around 70 pounds and still had much more strength than dogs of the same size. They were dragging me around in the zoo for a moment.
After a long struggle, I finally led the fat wolf to the bungalow in the back mountain.
When I arrived at the bungalow, the first thing I did was lock the door, afraid that this guy would run out. Once he ran out, I would definitely not be able to catch up.
The chubby wolf looked at this unfamiliar house, full of curiosity. His usual frustration disappeared completely, and he began to curiously smell the objects inside the house.
After watching for a while, I felt sleepy and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was still dark and the fat wolf was snoring wildly in my arms.
After looking at the slightly emaciated body of the chubby wolf, I decided to give it an extra meal and must bring its body back to its original peak.
Afterwards, I fed the fat wolf two meals a day, including beef and mutton, and also gave him some bones to exercise his bite.
I still bring the fat wolf back to the cabin at night, and I have to give an extra meal. This extra meal is my own expense, and the meat I eat is not bought by my third brother.
I bought some duck meat, beef offal, and some frozen fox meat myself.
Every day, he fed the fat wolf five to six times his fill. After finishing his fill, he took the fat wolf to the zoo and circled around. After about a month and a half, the fat wolf's body size recovered a lot and he became more courageous.
Wolves are actually very intelligent animals. Fat wolves have small stoves to eat every day, and they can go out and watch TV with me at night.
Sleeping on the warm kang, it also understands that I am biased towards it.
Gradually, it no longer feared the wolf pack. During the day when I fed, the fat wolf was the first to burrow near the feeding trough and wait for feeding.
If other wolves bite it, it no longer fears, but fights for food, grabs the largest piece and runs away.
The wolf pack can't do anything about it.
Until one day, the fat wolf and the second wolf from the pack confronted each other. The reason was because of a can. I usually clean the outdoor area very clean, but there were also some tourists throwing food indiscriminately.
Throw some bananas, melon seeds, and other things for the wolves to eat. We usually dissuade them, but there's nothing we can do. They don't listen.
In fact, wolves eat some vegetarian food and carbon water, which is not harmful. The main reason is that they are afraid that tourists may throw the packaging in together. If wolves accidentally eat plastic, it may cause problems.
That day, the chubby wolf picked up a can and kept hitting it with his head, causing it to roll back and forth on the ground.
Seeing the second person wanting to come and grab it, he immediately bared his teeth and threatened the second person. The second person is not usually a vegetarian, he is the deputy of the Wolf King.
With a loud cry, the second person and the fat wolf got into a ball. The second person bit the fat wolf's hind leg tightly, and the fat wolf bit the second person's chest tightly.
The two wolves refused to let go, competing for their ability and endurance to endure pain. Seeing this scene, I quickly went to get the water gun.
When I first got the water pipe, I saw that the fat wolf had already pressed the second one tightly under him, and the second one let out a whimpering sound (meaning he had taken it).
The fat wolf's hind legs were ticking, with crimson blood, but the second one didn't bleed.
Seeing that the fat wolf was injured, I quickly ran in and looked at the second person. There was nothing wrong with his chest, and the fat wolf had four blood holes bitten on his hind legs, neither deep nor shallow.
That night, I brought the fat wolf back to the back mountain bungalow and treated its wound. In the darkness, I saw the fat wolf's eyes.
Resolute and divine, completely different from the evasive gaze in the beginning, it seems that it has truly grown.
The wolf's gaze is really different from that of a dog. Although the chubby wolf is very gentle towards people, I have never seen that kind of emptiness in the eyes of any dog.
The wolf's gaze was very hollow and profound, looking icy, while the dog's gaze was much warmer.
Day after day, I lived by day and unexpectedly discovered something - Fat Wolf seemed to be in love, no, to be more precise, unrequited love.
That day, I was feeding meat when the fat wolf picked up the largest piece of meat and ran to the corner to eat it loudly.
Loli (the beautiful wolf) ran to the fat wolf's side and watched him eat because she couldn't grab too much meat.
The chubby wolf noticed a wolf behind him and roared fiercely, only to turn around and see that it was actually Loli.
Suddenly, the anger on her face turned into confusion. Loli cautiously moved forward, and the chubby wolf saw that Loli wanted to eat meat, so it leaned aside a bit. Loli bit on one side of the meat, and it bit on the other.
Two wolves shared a piece of meat and finished eating it. The chubby wolf kept chasing after Loli's buttocks and running back and forth.
Seeing this scene, I finally understood that the seemingly gentle and cute chubby wolf actually has a thief's heart.
Fat wolves not only learn to share food, but also learn to flatter and flatter. When licking wolves, in the future, fat wolves rarely snatch large pieces of meat, but instead snatch large amounts of small pieces of meat and eat them into their stomachs near the feeding trough.
After a crazy meal, I ran to the corner where Loli was already waiting!
The fat wolf spat out this meat from his stomach, but he didn't eat a bite and left it all for Loli!
Loli was eating these slightly sour meat, while the chubby wolf looked at her with a spoiled expression on her face.
Gradually, Loli was also moved by the fat wolf. After all, the fat wolf was handsome, gentle, and very gentlemanly, unlike other young male wolves who immediately sniffed their buttocks.
Fat Wolf always licks loli's fur first when he encounters her! Smell your butt without rushing or yelling.
One noon, I saw loli lying on the ground with a joyful expression on her face. The fat wolf was licking the fur near loli's head, and loli hummed comfortably.
Let's just lick our hair, why do we still hug and lick each other? Two wolves were lying on the ground, their claws still resting on each other.
Seeing this scene, I could no longer suppress my jealousy and tried to shout to separate them, but reason quickly took over my mind.
Alas, let them fall in love. In the end, I didn't live as well as a wolf!
The chubby wolf not only dotes on Loli, but also treats other weak wolves well, including the previously sterilized old wolf.
Every time I eat, I can't grab the slot, and I tend to favor her a bit. I secretly feed her some food in the middle of the night.
The other wolves in the wolf pack always bully the old wolf, while the fat wolf never bullies the old wolf. Sometimes, when eating, they deliberately leave some food for the old wolf.
The relationship between the old wolf and the fat wolf is also very good.
That night, I brought the fat wolf back to the bungalow, but this time he wasn't as happy as before. Instead, he anxiously looked at the position of the wolf pack and howled. At first, I didn't understand what this meant.
It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a foul smelling love. I have to stick it together while walking, it's really annoying!
As the status of the fat wolf increases, it gradually integrates into the wolf pack, even approaching the status of the wolf king. Usually, the fat wolf occupies the best shade position, and even conflicts with the wolf king during meals.
Fat wolves rely on their strong physique and good social connections, and no one is afraid.
During those days, the number of wolves in our zoo exceeded the limit. The leader asked me which one to send away, and I said I didn't know either.
Finally, the leader decided to send Old Wolf King away to a new zoo, but upon hearing this, I disagreed.
The old wolf king stayed in the zoo for his whole life. When he got old, he asked him to go to another zoo. What if the wolves in other zoos were strong and bullied the old wolf king, refused to eat, and bit him?
The leader thought about it and realized that what I said made sense, so he asked me, "How about sending away the sterilized old wolf?"?
As soon as I heard it, it was even worse. The sterilized old wolf couldn't give birth and was also old. In the new wolf pack, she was purely a father-in-law, and neither the male nor female wolves liked her. No one could send her away.
Finally, with some hesitation, not a single one was sent away. The leader was a bit angry and said, "Just speak up and don't want to send any of them away. You waste so much time talking to me.".
I can only bow my head and remain silent, the wolves have all stayed behind.
But the meal expenses of the wolf pack have been reduced, after all, they are overcrowded.
The Wolf King is indeed a bit old, and with the dominance and popularity of the Fat Wolf, there is gradually a trend for the Fat Wolf to replace the Wolf King position.
In the final position transition, the fat wolf did not snatch it by force, but the old wolf king himself took the initiative to let it out.
After becoming the Wolf King, the Fat Wolf did not bully the Old Wolf King. On the contrary, the Old Wolf King became the second in command of the wolf pack.
The fat wolf is indeed a very qualified wolf king. It never bullies other wolves and is very good at maintaining order in the wolf pack.
Whoever dares to fight, the fat wolf will arrive in time and separate them.
And Loli became the new wolf queen. Although Loli is very young, she will definitely become even stronger in the future and become a good partner for chubby wolves.
When the fat wolf became the wolf queen, not only did he not become fierce, but he also had a better impression of people.
From the beginning, only I was able to touch it freely, to now everyone in the zoo can touch it.
I often lead the fat wolf out for a walk. The young people in the zoo often line up to feed the fat wolf. The fat wolf eats a lot of oil all day, and countless people touch his head, leaving him bald.
From then on, Fat Wolf had a new name, with a celebrity, and it became the first celebrity in our zoo.
Years later, I returned to the zoo and looked at the old and chubby wolf. I quickly crawled into the wolf shed and hugged the chubby wolf tightly.
It still remembers me.
Looking back, the children of Panglang and Luoli were already 3 or 4 years old, each with a tiger back and a bear waist, and shiny fur.
I gradually fell asleep holding the fat wolf.
In the dream, the fat wolf ran in the vast mountains and forests, followed by Loli. Loli's buttocks were tightly followed by several fat little wolves.
