At the Hunan Changde Wildlife World, the beauty ambassadors interacted closely with "star animals" such as Siberian tigers, giraffes, capybaras, and Asian elephants. In the Siberian tiger exhibition area, they had a close-up view of the regal bearing of the "King of the Jungle," experiencing their wildness and vitality. At the giraffe feeding area, graceful giraffes lowered their long necks to graze fresh leaves from the ladies' hands, creating a harmonious scene. In the capybara habitat, the beauties showed great curiosity and affection for these "world's largest rodents," taking photos with them one after another. In the Asian elephant zone, they witnessed the daily lives of these massive yet gentle creatures and experienced the joy of close encounters with these giant animals.
