spending time together in their outside den
because they were all planning to have health checks.
When I arrived at the Sunshine nursery,
most of them were on the tree taking a nap,
but YaYun was wating by the door to play with me.
"Hi Yumi, I've been waiting for you!"
She bit my boots for a long time.
YaYun showed me how playful she was today.
"I can even eat leaves on the ground!"
ErXi and YuanZhou were cuddled together
on the tree. They both love the same spot,
and were fighting for the best position.
ErXi pushed YuanZhou away so that he could stay there.
"HAHA, I won!"
He looked so peaceful.
ZhenHao is around 30kg and YaYun is still
around 24kg, so it makes quite a difference,
but they don't seem to know that.
Although YaYun is smaller than the other 2010 born cubs,
she is very strong and active, and has a good relationship
with every one of them.
JiaoQing came down from the tree
and ran towards me.
He is the most friendly one among all the 2010 born cubs,
and he gets jealous when I am taking care of others.
"Yumi, I like you so much! We can play together as much
as we want to!"
He was staying still waiting for me in the
shallow side of the pond while I was catching
my breath at the deep end.
ErXi was still on the tree, looking down
on me from high above. I left him there
so that he could decide when he wants to
come down to play with me.
He seemed to be happy alone,
and I didn't want to disturb his sleep.
YuanLin played hard with JiaoQing
and had a rest on the play equipment
for a while.
JiaoQing got so excited, he climed and fell from
one of the trees many times. He was so dirty
with mud all over him.
He was so brown that in the end
he didn't look like a Panda.
He sometimes came down to grab a bite on the leaves.
"Look how cute I am!!"
ErXi was on the tree with YuanZhou again.
JiaoQing, ErXi and YaYun rolling together beside the tree.
I will be away from Chengdu Panda Base for a while,
and will be there only for a few days in September.
Tomorrow September 2, I will go to
BiFengXia Panda Base. If there is anything
you would like to know about the Pandas there,
please leave a message on my blog or facebook.
