I became incredibly cute after dressing up as an animal!

When an entire herd of elephants marches by, the scene is truly spectacular.

The massive African elephants, a large herd of them, big and small, walked by, their tusks gleaming white in the sunlight.

Many tourists took out their cameras to take pictures, and the guides began to explain the family.

The experienced director noticed immediately that Mary was gone.

Yes, Mary was quite old, so it's normal that she's no longer here.

But when they saw the familiar elephant herd but couldn't find Mary, many people couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"This is the famous elephant family, the Mary family. Mary was last observed seven years ago, when she was over seventy years old. In the wild, that's a very old age."

"Besides the famous chief, this elephant herd is also famous for another reason: they adopted a male elephant from the Osa family. This male elephant is twenty years old this year and is named Chuyi. Does that name sound familiar to Chinese people? That's right, the elephant Chuyi was named by a Chinese person."

"Look over there, everyone. Over by that big tree, that huge elephant with two long tusks is Chu Yi. The smaller one next to it with shorter tusks is the mother elephant, Xiao Xiao. They are a pair."

"They started dating seven years ago and are still together now. They still follow the herd on the first day of the lunar month. It seems they are still very much in love after these seven years."

"I wonder if any of the new baby elephants in the family might be the offspring of Chu Yi and Xiao Xiao."

"..."

Lan Xiaoxiao could hear the guides chattering away even from a great distance.

Several more luxury wilderness hotels have opened here this year, and the number of tourists has increased significantly.

The water tank for the animals has also been tiled, making it much more luxurious and clean.

There were even hot air balloons floating in the sky, which I watched with great curiosity the whole time.

Lan Xiaoxiao said to Chu Yi, "This is dangerous, let's not sit here."

"Mmm." Chu Yi looked at her with doting eyes and nuzzled against her.

The elephant herds will stay here until the end of autumn, when the short rainy season arrives, before returning home.

The government has set tourism boundaries, prohibiting private tour groups from bringing tourists into the center of the national park.

With the increasing number of tourists each year, the surrounding grasslands have been overgrown and damaged.

Fortunately, the new mimosa trees that the elephants like to eat are all growing very lushly, so it doesn't affect their eating.

Lan Xiaoxiao discovered that the animals living here were very lazy, and these travel agencies frequently fed them so that tourists could see wild animals.

"Sigh, I'm speechless. Luckily, we don't come here all the time."

"A complete mess." That's the first-year student's assessment.

Angie brought her family here to familiarize her three nephews with the route.

It's been seven years since I last came here. It's hot this year, so walking this road is quite nice.

The surrounding area was smoky and chaotic, but food and water were plentiful, which provided a safety net for the animals.

……

Living in the outer tourist area means having absolutely no privacy.

Wherever Chu Yi takes his little cutie, they will be recorded by human cameras.

Some humans are even foolish enough to drive up close to them.

Lan Xiaoxiao: "..."

Even when they're in a good mood, you can't do that.

They are wild animals! Can't you have some respect for them?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he yelled and rushed over, scaring them so much that they quickly reversed their car.

As long as you go back, you'll stop on the first day of the lunar month.

This way, people won't be startled into instinctively grabbing a gun, and it will also frighten them so they won't get too close.

After this happened once or twice in one day, the local guides all knew that Chu Yi didn't like people getting too close.

Starting the next day, the tourist vehicles kept a safe distance from each other.

Later, there was only one situation where the elephants and tourists would get very close: when Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi would come over to ask for snacks!

With so many tourists and such a chaotic atmosphere, there's a small advantage for Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi: the chances of getting snacks are higher!

I'll order some bread here, some fruit there, a soda today, and a cookie tomorrow.

Lan Xiaoxiao and Chu Yi enjoyed their meal.

Zhang Wang flew for more than ten hours to get here. After the plane landed, he contacted his guide friend to pick him up. He hadn't even arrived at the grassland yet. Along the way, his friend told him about the good things Xiaoxiao and Chuyi had done this summer.

"Gradually, everyone figured it out: they like to eat watermelon, apples, and instant noodles, but it has to be Chinese White Elephant instant noodles."

Zhang Wang: "..."

These two elephants are getting more and more mischievous as they get older.

By the time we looked out over the national park, it was already dusk.

My guide friend suggested, "Let's stay at the hotel for the night and go early tomorrow morning. They're all drinking water in the reservoir in the morning, so they're easy to find."

The outer area is quite safe despite having many tourists; no poachers dare to operate in such a crowded place.

Animals of all groups are very open and do not hide their tracks.

The tour guides know exactly where to spot the lion pride and where the elephant herds are at what time.

Zhang Wang was tired after a day of catching a flight. He hadn't seen them for a year and missed them dearly, but since he was already here, there was no rush.
