Chapter 707: Chapter 706: Pallas’s Cat Fights for at Chapter 707: Chapter 706: Pallas’s Cat Fights for at Amamiya Kokoro burst into laughter at the sight of the Pallas’s cat’s constantly twitching chubby tail, “Haha, that tail, kawaii!”
It’s hiding, but not completely hidden!
After all, growing up in a zoo, its stalking skills aren’t quite polished.
But, its light grey fur does give it a 3 in camouflage level.
The fur of the Pallas’s cat can be silver-grey, dark grey, or brown-grey, and it’s not fixed. It changes with the seasons and the environnt.
In sumr, its color grows darker to blend into adows and rocks, and in winter, besides getting longer and thicker, its fur lightens in color for better disguise in the snow, with black spots providing additional shading.
Anzu’s eyes sparkled, “The way it walks is so cute too! It sticks close to the ground when it moves!”
In this regard, Pallas’s cats are sowhat similar to Siberian Roe Deer!
They walk a few steps, stop to scrutinize their surroundings, immobile to avoid detection.
Sun Dasheng hid behind a rock for a while, then suddenly popped out its head, warily scanning the outside.
Its round, orange-amber eyes were wide open, appearing serious and focused!
In all its movents and rest, it’s all an act.
“Hahaha, look at that wise expression!”
“What you lookin’ at? Got a problem with that?”
“Animals like Pallas’s cats are both fierce and adorable!”
“This is the ‘Boss among cats,’ indeed!”
Having stayed at Linhai Zoo for so long, the two Pallas’s cats got used to their new surroundings.
They’ve beco much braver, spending more ti exploring outside every day, unlike before when they returned to their quarters shortly after being active.
Recently, the pavilion had been filled with snow, and the fresh environnt piqued their curiosity, prompting active exploration of their play area that was different from the usual due to the snow cover.
After observing the outside visitors for a while and sensing no threat, they swiveled their heads left and right, their thick fur around their face shaking along.
They trotted a couple of steps, then ca out from behind the rocks, wiggling their plump butts as they dashed to a bush at a farther location.
Turning their heads again to look back, they next flopped into the snow pile, lying motionless like a grey pancake, pretending to be a rock.
Round head, round body, big face, and chubby body!
Their simple looks alone were enough to make one unable to help but laugh.
Sun Yuanxiao stayed perched upon a high rock, with paws tucked underneath and curled up into a ball for a short nap.
It seed to have rested enough and was preparing to stretch a bit.
Tilting its head, it looked outside, blinked a couple of tis, and licked its tongue to fight the drowsiness.
Then it slowly rose, sticking its chubby butt out at the visitors, spreading its front limbs as it stretched, pressing its body and chest down against the rock, letting out a big yawn with a stretch.
After stretching, its round tail twitched rapidly as if flicking away the sleepiness.
After the stretch, Sun Yuanxiao jumped down from the rock and strolled through the snow, observing the visitors outside.
When there were fewer people, it occasionally pressed its big chubby face against the glass, taking a careful look.
At this ti, the animal keeper entered the play area, and the two Pallas’s cats, hearing the noise, quickly hid with heightened alertness.
The keeper carried several small boxes and began hiding them around the area.
The boxes were filled with fresh at, using the sa feeding thod as for the red fox.
So were buried in snow piles, so hidden in bushes, or tucked between the crevices of rocks.
They also sared so blood here and there to mislead and confuse with the scent.
Make them work a bit for their food, using their own sense of sll to hone their hunting abilities!
In different corners, two Pallas’s cats peeked out their heads stealthily, scoping the scene.
Spotting the familiar animal keeper, Sun Yuanxiao ran over again, wanting to take a shortcut to get food directly from the keeper!
The animal keeper was prepared, took out a small piece of fresh at as bait, and threw it into the distance.
The two Pallas’s cats couldn’t wait to spring into action!
When it ca to eating, Sun Yuanxiao was full of energy, its plump body leaping into the air, jumping over a log perch in the middle of the playground.
Leaping into the air, its body flattened out like a pancake.
Great Saint rushed over from the other side, pouncing from a rock and attempting an aerial interception, swatting towards its butt.
However, Sun Yuanxiao twisted away, nimbly dodging the attack.
He reached the at first, skidding to a stop on the snow, with its thick, dense fur rippling, and turned into a round ball of flesh.
Baring its sharp fangs, it picked up the at in its mouth and quickly ran off to enjoy its treat in a corner.
The whole process may sound complicated, but it happened in just a few seconds.
It was only after watching Sun Yuanxiao eating cautiously in the corner that the visitors let out surprised exclamations, albeit belatedly.
“Wow!”
“Such an agile fatty!”
“Amazing! I didn’t even see it coming!”
Though the Pallas’s cat’s body looked bloated, it ran extrely fast, like a grey streak of lightning, completely overturning everyone’s impressions.
The manner in which it picked up the at was stable, accurate, and fierce.
Had it been a pika, it might have been killed with a single blow.
Great Saint, having failed to snatch the prize, ran to the animal keeper, lifted his head, his fat face serious.
I’m just quietly watching you!
It seed to say, “Isn’t it my turn now?”
The animal keeper threw another piece of at in a different direction to prevent them from fighting!
While the two Pallas’s cats were distracted, the keeper quickened the pace of hiding the food.
Amamiya Kokoro looked at a display board next to her, which had information about the hunting thods of Pallas’s cats.
“Pallas’s cats have three hunting thods!
The first is the stalking thod. When searching for prey, Pallas’s cats will lower their bodies to the ground, crawling forward, slowly approaching the prey. They pause every few steps, disguised as a rock! When they are close enough to the prey, they will suddenly leap out and pounce to kill.
The second is startling the prey in the grass. During the spring and sumr, when vegetation flourishes, Pallas’s cats scurry through the thickets, frightening hidden pikas, small birds, grasshoppers, and the like, and then seizing the opportunity to hunt them.
The third is the ambush predation. This thod is generally used in the winter when it’s snowing to catch pikas. Pallas’s cats will lie in wait outside the pika burrows, patiently hiding in the snow. Once the pika cos out to be active, there’s a chance for a feast.”
Amamiya Kokoro thought, “No wonder Pallas’s cats walk so amusingly; it’s their way of hunting. Poor pikas! They are always the unluckiest ones.”
As soon as the animal keeper left, the two Pallas’s cats excitedly ran around the playground, searching and digging everywhere!
Ti to eat, ti to eat!
Sun Yuanxiao quickly dug out a box with at from under the snow pile.
However, relying on his strength, Great Saint sprinted over, chased Sun Yuanxiao away, and nacingly chased after its butt for a while.
Sun Yuanxiao was quite irked, but there wasn’t much it could do.
It could only turn its head resentfully and continue searching for other food.
Great Saint ate his at with ease, not bothering to take it to the side but instead eating right there on the spot.
