Vacation @ Chengdu Panda Base-13

Hello everyone!

Today I went to take care of the 5 Sub Adult Pandas.
And guess who I met?
This is SiYuan 6 years old eating Panda Cakes.
She moved from Moonlight Enclosure
to this Sub Adult Enclosure a few days ago.
I didn't know that she came here, but I knew it was her
just by watching.
We can identify her by her white fluffy paws and round face.


















She looks into the camera lense.


















See her white fluffy paws?


















She seems to be frustrated, to live close to
Pandas that she is not familiar with. Her neighbor is
JiaoXiao, and SiYuan was barking to JiaoXiao
for a long time. I hope she gets used to her new neighbor soon.












And I could feel her breath on my face. We could go
so close to her because there is a fence.












She got so excited, she started her performance.
SiYuan climbing on the fence and barking.


















This is YaLaoDa, the second child of YaYa.
She is 11 years old and is such a great actress!!
This morning, the keeper called her to go inside
so that he could clean the outside enclosure,
but she refiused and decided to stay without moving.
In the afternoon, the keeper needed her to go inside,
and used the apple on fishing rod to attract her,
and the fun game started!

YaLaoDa pretending she doesn't care about the apple.
She's eating bamboo like crazy!












But she is watching carefully and paying attention
to the apple, rolling her eyes many times.
Then when the keeper lowered the apple,
she grabbed the apple and started to eat!!












I got the chance to do this too.
Now I know that she is so quick, and I have to be
careful that she doesn't take the apple for free.












For more than 10 minutes, I was trying to make her
stand up and walk inside! Tourists were enjoying
taking pictures of YaLaoDa, doing her actress performance.












And of course I lost.
She didn't even have to stand up!
AHHH.....She looks so proud.


















After enjoying 3 apples for free, she probablly
felt sorry for us, and came slowly inside at last...
It took us more than 45 minutes to do this.












And she had her milk and Panda Cake.












I carried fresh bamboo to the platform that we built
before the Pambassador final competition!
I wish I  could see her sitting on the platform before I leave!
I put bamboo on  2 other  platforms that my
other Pambassador friends had built. To make it fair.
Let's see which platform she likes the best!
