This is YaYa taking care of one of the 2010 born cubs.
YaYa was busy eating bamboo shoot, and this cub wouldn't let
YaYa concentrate eating. He followed YaYa all along,
and showed off his charm to the audience.
These are the cute little cubs playing together in the morning.
They are waiting in front of the door for the keepers
to come inside and take care of them.
One of the cubs looking at me from far away.
Some were already taking a nap on top of the tree.
This is JingJing at the Sunshine Nursary.
She lives next doors to ShuHin (QiuBang) and
ShuHin seems to like JingJing very much.
He was looking at JingJing from one of the doors
showing off his charm. And JingJing was getting excited
too, running and rolling around. They would make a
great couple.
This is WuYi at the Moonlight enclosure.
It was so hot today, and all the Pandas were taken inside.
The distance from YaZai is so far today.
I wonder what happened to their relationship.
They seemed to be so close a few days ago...
This is RyuHin (LongBang) at the No. 14 enclosure
enjoying his bamboo shoot.
In the afternoon, we prepared some special snacks for
RyuHin. Since he does not like Panda cakes so much
we put honey on the Panda cakes and tried to feed him
with chopsticks one by one.The keepers do this everyday.
RyuHin's keeper Li Han told me that once in the past
he put honey on Panda cakes without cutting them
and RyuHin licked all the honey and left over all the
Panda cakes. This is why we have to cut it into small peices.
RyuHin's favorite honey.
But although we prepared the special snacks for
RyuHin, he did not pay any attention today.
His eyes were open, but he pretended that he didn't see us.
RyuHin broke his bed yesterday and
the workers have to build a new one for him.
In the afternoon, I went to the quarantine to meet
the three Pandas, YuanZi, HuanHuan and JiaoXiao.
This is the small outside playground.
Li Han told me that HuanHuan climbs the bars
on the ceiling, and acts like monkeys.
We were joking that HuanHuan might be a monkey
wearing panda costumes. He's never seen any other
Pandas behave this way.
This is JiaoXiao with lots of bamboo shoot on his tummy.
This is my favorite Panda, YuanZi.
Pambassador CiCi was taking care of him
last year with the three other young cubs at
the Young Cub's enclosure.
He is good at striking a pose,
and reminds me of GuGu at Beijing Zoo.
He's good at standing up, which means
he might be capable of natural mating in the future.
YuanZi thinks he can break the keys and escape
somewhere.
"I think I can break out some day."
He's planning to break out and play with
HuanHuan next doors.
This is also YuanZi.
This is HuanHuan striking a sexy pose.
She lies down and eats bamboo shoot.
