In the days that followed, the news that the leopard Big Flower had given birth to septuplets—with both mother and cubs safe and sound—became the hottest topic at Donghua Wildlife Park and even other zoos throughout the province.
"Septuplets, and they all survived. That's incredible."
"I heard the mother leopard, Big Flower, really pulled through. The birth was a scare, but it went off without a hitch."
"It was all thanks to Advisor Yang going in at that critical moment to calm her down and feed her. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened."
"Wow, seven little cubs. That's a new record!"
...
At Donghua Wildlife Park, from the top brass down to the regular staff, everyone's faces lit up with excitement whenever the topic came up.
