This morning I went to the Sunshine Nursery
to take care of the 2010 born cubs.
This is JiaoQing. He was friendly as always,
and came running towards me as soon as
he found me. We are having a good
communication in Pandanese.
Sometimes I carry him to show him to the visitors.
He is the heaviest cub among the 2010 borns.
JiaoQing thinks I'm his mother.
Two cubs biting my keeper's boots,
and JiaoQing still playing on my lap.
I still can't believe that I am having such a wonderful
experience here in Chengdu!
"Hi there!"
This is also JiaoQing.
This is YaYa at the Sunshine Nursary.
She is already 21 years old, but looks so young.
All the other mothers of the 2010 born cubs have
returned to their own enclosures,
and YaYa is taking care of all 7 cubs in turns.
(two cubs at a time at the outside playground)
Now the cubs are active and can climb trees
and play with each other, so YaYa takes her
time eating bamboo shoot when the cubs
stay on their own. She is such a great mother.
This is JiaoZi at the Adult Enclosure.
She is the mother of JiaoQing, the friendly cub
that always follow me around. She has a beautiful
round face and white fur.
This is DaShuang at the Sunshine Nursary,
enjoying her bamboo.
She scratches her head once in a while.
Is she trying to remember something she forgot?
This is ShuHin (QiuBang) at the Sunshine Nursary.
It seems that he likes JingJing that lives next doors.
This is ChengJi at the Sub Adult Encloure.
The keeper Mr.Yang fed her with 2 Panda cakes,
and she eats them on the tree. She had one Panda cake
each in both her hands and took bites in turns.
This is XiangBing at the Young Cubs Enclosure.
XiangBing enjoying her apples.
This is ShuRong on a tree.
Today she didn't feel like coming down to eat
Panda cakes with XiangBing.
Tomorrow I will take care of RyuHin (LongBang) at
No.14 Enclosure.
