Chapter 288: Chapter 168 So cool, I love it! [Large chapter, 5000 words, don’t raise text!]_2

“Daddy, I want to learn more about giant pandas, can you tell us about them?” Ye Qing looked at her dad and said.

She didn’t know much about giant pandas, but she really liked them.

She had seen pictures in books at kindergarten, and after all, real giant pandas were even cuter than their pictures. She truly adored them.

At that moment, Ye Qing really wanted to know about giant pandas.

“Alright, then let me tell you about giant pandas!” Ye Fan said.

The children’s thirst for knowledge was quite impressive.

“Giant pandas belong to the bear family in the order Carnivora, the only mammal in the Ailuropoda genus, with just two subspecies. Males are slightly larger than females. They have a bear-like stout build, a round head, and a short tail, with a body length of 1.2-1.8 meters, and a tail about 10-12 centimeters long.

Their weight ranges from 80-120 kilograms, reaching up to 180 kilograms. Their fur is black and white, with round cheeks and distinct black eye patches, a characteristic inturned walking gait, and razor-sharp claws like scalpel blades. Giant pandas have thick skin, the thickest part being up to 10 millimeters. Their black-and-white appearance helps them blend in among dense forest trees and snowy grounds, preventing predators from easily spotting them.

They live in dense bamboo forests at altitudes of 2600-3500 meters, where the air is thin, misty, and the temperature is below 20℃. The terrain and water sources are favorable for nesting, hiding, and raising cubs. Giant pandas are adept at climbing trees and enjoy playing.

Climbing usually occurs near the mating season, to escape danger, or when weaker individuals avoid stronger ones during encounters

In the wild, giant pandas spend about half their day feeding and the other half sleeping. Between two feeding sessions, they usually sleep for 2-4 hours.

Giant pandas’ diet is 99% bamboo, and there are over 60 varieties from 12 genera that can feed them. In the wild, giant pandas live up to 18-20 years, but in captivity, they can live over 30 years.”

“Giant pandas have survived on Earth for at least 8 million years and are known as ‘living fossils’ and ‘national treasures,’ world nature ambassadors, with only a few thousand individuals left worldwide.

Giant pandas are unique to our country, mainly inhabiting the mountainous regions of Ishikawa, Shanxi, and Gansu.”

Ye Fan looked at the little ones as he spoke.

At this time, the four little guys were lined up, sitting on rocks, watching Ye Fan intently.

“I also know that giant pandas are Iron-Eating Beasts; they used to like eating iron and were even mounts for Chi You!” Little Fourth Ye Jie suddenly said with excitement, raising her hand to speak.

“Little Fourth, how do you know that?” Ye Bing looked at Ye Jie and asked.

“Yeah, how do you know?” Ye Qing inquired.

“Hehe, of course, Dad told me before. How else would I know?” Little Fourth replied with a smile.

“Alright!” The other kids felt envious.

Little Fourth was the first one to be brought here by their dad to see animals.

This was only their first time, while Little Fourth Ye Jie had already been many times.

Probably too many to count.

“Okay, you guys have fun. There’s bamboo shoots here for these national treasures to eat. Soon, we’ll move on to the next place,” Ye Fan said, handing out the bamboo shoots to the giant pandas. The animals instantly hugged them, kissed them a few times, and then merrily started eating.

There were still several shoots on the ground, and the little ones immediately began feeding them to the giant pandas.

Ye Fan sat nearby and watched the scene, and naturally, he was happy to see the children happy.

Soon, Ye Fan took the kids to the next location.

The grasslands…

“Daddy, look, it’s like a green ocean here, endless green as far as the eye can see!”

“Yes, it’s hard to tell the sky from the land at this distance, and those horses galloping in the distance are really magnificent.”

“I love it here so much, the green earth, blue sky, and white clouds, it’s just too wonderful!”

“So beautiful!”

The four little ones were thrilled at the sight before them.

When they arrived, the place was still a sea of green. If it were autumn, it probably wouldn’t be as beautiful.

Ye Fan noticed that the air here was so fresh.

Indeed, the grasslands are truly deserving of their name.

This place truly made one feel relaxed!

Ye Fan was also overwhelmed by everything before him!

This kind of grassland was also a first for him.

He had read about it in books, seen it on TV, and in pictures, but after all, that was not the same as seeing it firsthand.

Only when you see it for yourself can you comprehend such an impact.

“Haha, this grass feels so comfortable!”

“So soft!” The children began rolling around on the grass, having the time of their lives.

Ye Fan smiled as he watched them.

Soon, he noticed a herdsman tending to horses not far away.

It’s great that there are people around!

However, Ye Fan wondered if going over there would raise suspicions and potentially expose him.

“System, I’ve run into a little issue. If the people here see me, could I be discovered and exposed?” Ye Fan called out to the System in his mind at that moment.

“Host, do not worry. Please proceed to fulfill the children’s wishes. The System will take care of altering the memories of those who have seen you,” the voice of the System transmitted into Ye Fan’s mind again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately relaxed.

With this, he wouldn’t need to worry about any consequences.
