Day 13 @ Chengdu Panda Base as Pambassador

Hello everyone!
Today, at last the internet problem is solved!
This blog is about the things I did yesterday (Nov 1).

Qiu Bang in the morning.
As I called his name, he jumped off his platform
to say Hi.


















"Hi"













"I came closer so that you can see more carefully"













In the afternoon, I went to the 2 year old cub's enclosure.
They are YuanZi, ShangQing, ShuYuan
(the one I did the presentation on at the competition)
and YaLing. They are all 2 year old boys, and are very
close to each other. First we gave them a shower.
They seemed to like the shower, and were laughing all the
time.













" We are clean now!!"













"So, please give us some apples!!"













They love apples and always jump on each other and
punch each other for food...













When we cleaned their outside enclosure and came back,
Yuan Zi, the Panda that loves climbing trees outside was
playing Ninja games... At first I didn't notice him,
and was so surprised when I saw him at the window!!!













"Hahaha, let's play Ninja Games!!"
He looks so proud of himself!













And then we made them all go outside to feed them
apples and their favorite panda cakes.
Nice Chinese Acrobats!!













And these are 3 year old female cubs that live next doors
to the 2 year old cubs enclosure.
Their names are Shu Rong and Xiang Bing.
Shu Rong is the fat girl on the left, she weighs
10kg more than Xiang Bing!













Xiang Bing doing her pretty dance



















My favorite keeper at the young cubs enclosure,
Mr. Tang. He takes care of the 4 male cubs (2 year olds)
and 2 female cubs (3 years old). We can recognize him
from far away because of his wonderful loud voice!!



















And this 3 year old cub's enclosure is
where 雄浜(Xiong Bang) spent his first few years at
Chengdu Panda Base. Mr. Tang took care of
Xiong Bang for several years.He has told me
that it was hard for Xiong Bang when he came to
Chengdu because he couldn't understand Chinese...
Mr. Tang taught Xiong Bang Sichuan dialect!
And now, Xiong Bang is bilingual!! 



















Today 秋浜 (Qiu Bang) was eating bamboo leaves
in his outdoor enclosure.Can you see his
breath is white?? It shows how cold it is
now in Chengdu...
