June was officially considered the first full month of Summer, but for Animalia, it was the start of several things.
---
With June being Pride Month, conversions for LGBT+ members were being offered at a discounted rate. This was considered popular for Dinotopians, so much so, in fact, that there were now already plans for another Dinotopian colony, this time in Argentina. While the name was still up for debate, it was being unofficially labeled as "New Patagonia".

Another thing that was going on was the "Opening Night" for the Dragon Palace Casino, as covered by the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties, but there were also a few, surprise guests.
During one part of the livestream, Naya was explaining some of the mythology behind both the Dragon Palace and the name 'Ao Guang' when Aurora, Animalia's famous 'golden bass' swam down into the tank-column and began flirting with the camera behind her back, including pressing her golden 'melons' and 'peaches' into the tank's walls. While initially confused to the responses she was getting, she turned at the proverbial last minute to see Aurora's tail give a final "wave" as it disappeared into the ceiling, much to Naya's surprise and everyone else's amusement.
Another surprise guest was, undoubtedly Cecil. While he had originally intended to help with the advertising for Ao Guang Island, his RHS inspired him to head to the strip-club section of the palace, get up on stage, and do his Meat Market routine while also singing Tiesto's The Business, and while he couldn't understand half the things being shouted at him by all the girls, he knew they were really enjoying the show, though he did encounter a bit of culture shock when one of the girls threw her panties at him, even more so when they landed on his face. At this, he was grateful for the 'no cameras' policy that the strip club had.

Another popular thing that was going on was the Beach Volleyball Tournament on Ao Guang Island, also covered by/commentated on by the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties. While the female "branch" of the tournament was, undoubtedly, the most popular, the male "branch" was able to get some "love", per se, due to them wearing tight, high-cut, sport shorts in rainbow colors for Pride Month.

Another popular thing that was going on, though not on Ao Guang Island, was the opening matches for the Summer Foxy Boxing Tournament, though it was more like an MMA/wrestling tournament, though with a considerable limit on the number of sexual moves in the ring/octagon. As usual, the trolls/troublemakers were suggesting that Sam go up against a Russian Animalian, but there were some who were genuinely interested in such a match, but it wouldn't happen right away due to the number of things required to set such things up.

Another thing that was going on was hermaphroditic conversions, with Paula and hir pride/ostentation holding the most attention due to them being herm peafowl.
