Today, I went to the Young Cubs Enclosure.
First we collected all the feces, and disinfected the floor and
equipment for the Pandas safety. My favorite keeper Mr. Tang
told me that he does this every 2~3 days, which is
hard work! It took us 2 hours to finish all the work!
After cleaning the inside enclosure,
it's everyone's favorite Show time!
It was a nice weather today,
and the tourists rushed to the Young Cub's Enclosure
as soon as Mr. Tang called the Pandas names
in a clear loud voice.
YuenZi is always aggressive, and pushes all his
friends away to get the apple.
It's good for them that they stand up a lot.
Sometimes they smack other Panda's face and
bites their feet to get rid of their rival.
I will upload movies when I go back to Japan.

Now it's ShuanQing's turn to be aggressive!
QuJing took a picture for me.
Next we move the 4 Pandas to another spot to
give them Panda Cakes. They follow Mr. Tang,
tripping over each other.
In the afternoon, we called them to come inside
so that we could clean the outdoor enclosure and
put out fresh bamboo.
We gave them their afternoon shower. Mr. Tang says
that the 4 Pandas love taking a shower, but it seems that
the Pandas are trying to escape from water...
I'll have to ask the Pandas next time if they really like it
or not.

YuenZi learned to grind his teeth using the bars.

We collected all the left over and dry bamboo,
and brought fresh bamboo inside. On sunny days
like this, we only put a small amount of bamboo
at a time, because it will all dry so quickly.
This means that Mr. Tang does it several times
a day, so that the Pandas can enjoy fresh bamboo
all day!
This is ShuRong on the left and XiangBing on the right.
They're also Mr. Tang's Pandas.
