Today I went to the Adult Area
to take care of KouHin (XingBang).
It has been several days since he
moved to his new enclosure,
but he is still staying inside for the
whole day. The leaders of the animal
department are observing his behavior
to know the best time to let him go outside.
It's too hot in Chengdu around this season,
and most of the Pandas only stay outside
at night and early in the morning.
They come inside at around 10 in the morning,
so it's not just KouHin that spends most
of the time inside.
For the past few days, KouHin has
become used to his new enclosure,
and it seems that he is relaxing and
doing great.
We gave him his breakfast apple
and he looked happy as usual.
"Good morning Yumi, thank you
for my favorite apple!"
He closed his eyes to enjoy the taste
of his apple.
"Don't worry Yumi, I'm being a
good boy so I should be able to
go outside in a few days."
Pandas have strong jaws and
they peel bamboo skins carefully
to eat the inside part. These are the
left overs.
KouHin's feces had good smells, and he was
healthy as usual.
Pandas have strong paws.
Their long sharp nails help them
to climb trees when they need to
escape from enemies in the wild.
"Can I have some more Panda Cakes please?"
He looks so desperate when he's asking
for food!
In the afternoon, KouHin was waiting
for his favorite Panda Cakes.
Last month he didn't seem to like
Panda Cakes so much, but now he
love them again. He has good appetite.
One of the Panda Cakes got stuck
in his mouth. He shaked his head
to put it back in the right position.
"I must have been too greedy to
try to swallow it at once!"
KouHin enjoyed his Panda Cakes
so much that he had all the crumbs
around his mouth and nose.
Greedy little boy!
I will be at the Sunshine Nursery tomorrow.

RyuHin (LongBang) and BingDian @ No. 14 Enclosure, CRBGPB
Today I went to No. 14 Enclosure to take care of
RyuHin (LongBang) and BingDian.
These two Pandas love staying in their outside
den and rarely come back inside
which makes it hard for us to clean their outside
den in the morning. Today it was very hot,
and they came back inside very early.
This barely happens, and we were lucky!
今日は隆浜とビンディアンの飼育をしました。
14号エリアに住んでいるこの2頭は
屋外運動場で過ごす時間が多く、
暑くなっても普段なかなか帰ってきてくれません。
何度呼んでも室内に戻ってきて
くれないため屋外運動場の掃除をするのも
大変なのですが、今日は2頭とも早い時間に
室内に戻ってきてくれました。
This is RyuHin. He was showing me how bored he was.
隆浜は、久しぶりに朝早くに室内に戻り
暇そうに寝ていました。
We called him to come for his favorite special drink.
"Hellloooooo, now I've become to like you more
because you give me my special drink!"
大好きな特製ドリンクをあげたところ、
飛び起きて近くまで来てくれました。
「おはよー。最近特製ドリンクくれるから
ねーさん結構好きになってきたよ!」
RyuHin took his time to enjoy his special drink.
いつも時間をかけてゆっくり特製ドリンクを
飲んでいます。
Most Pandas love their nutritious Panda Cakes,
but I hardly see RyuHin eating them.
But instead, RyuHin loves eating bamboo
which is good because bamboo is the best diet
for wild pandas. His feces always smell like
bamboo. It shows that he is healthy even
without eating Panda Cakes.
成都パンダ基地のパンダ達は、ほとんど皆
パンダケーキが大好きなのですが、隆浜は
まったく食べません。その代わり竹が大好きで
一日中良く食べています。野生のパンダは
パンダケーキを食べなくても元気に育ちますので、
ある意味自然の食生活に近いと言えます。
糞も竹の良い匂いがします。
We gave him a shower to keep him clean.
Whenever we give RyuHin a shower, he cleans his
own face with his paws which makes him white
and clean.
午前中に隆浜をシャワーで綺麗にしました。
最近シャワーをすると、いつも自分の手で
顔を洗うような仕草をしてくれます。
おかげで顔が最近白くなってきて
格好良くなってきたと評判です。
He looks smaller than usual after the Shower.
It's always the same with dogs too, especially when
they have fluffy fur just like pandas.
シャワーをすると、普段より一回り小さく見えます。
犬や他の動物と同じで、毛がペシャンコになるんですね。
He had some dirt on his back, but I couldn't
wash it away for him...Sorry RyuHin.
お尻の近くの毛に汚れが固まっていたのですが、
絡まっていてとってあげることが出来ませんでした。
ごめんね、隆浜。
"Thank you for the shower. Do I look handsome?"
「シャワーしてくれてありがとう。ハンサムになった?」
He became a bit angry because he was
kept inside the cage while we were
cleaning his enclosure.
"Get me out of here!!!"
室内運動場を掃除している間
隆浜をケージに入れたままにしていたのですが、
それが気に入らなかったようで暴れ始めました。
「出せーーーーーーーー!!」
"Hurry up and finish your work, I want to eat
some bamboo!"
「早く仕事終わらせて出して!竹食べたいんだよね」
After cleaning all the inside enclosures,
we gave him some fresh bamboo.
Pandas were carnivorous animals
8 million years ago, and even though
they only eat bamboo, apples and
Panda Cakes at the Panda Base,
80% of the things they eat come out as feces.
This is why Pandas eat a lot while they
are awake.
室内運動場を全て掃除し終えたところで
新鮮な竹をあげました。パンダは800万年前
肉食動物だったと言われていますが、
竹、リンゴ、パンダケーキしか食べない
現在でも消化器官が肉食動物の
ままなので食べたものの80%くらいは
糞となって消化されずに排泄されてしまいます。
だから起きている時間の大半を食事に費やすんです。
RyuHin smells each bamboo leaves
before he eats them. He is quite picky.
隆浜は、笹の葉を食べる時必ず
葉の匂いをかぎます。好き嫌いが
あるみたいです。気に入らないと
ポイっと投げ捨てて新しい竹をつかみます。
This is BingDian enjoying his breakfast.
隆浜の隣に住むビンディアンです。
"Yummy, apples are so tasty!"
「リンゴって美味しいね!」
"I love bamboo too!"
「笹も美味しいよね!」
"And I love Panda Cakes too!"
「パンダケーキも大好きだよ!」
BingDian is a clever boy, and he
waits for me to give him two Panda Cakes
at the same time. Even though I gave him
one Panda Cake, he kept his mouth wide
open to ask for one more.
Now he has two Panda Cakes in his mouth!
I've never seen other Pandas doing this.
ビンディアンは賢い子で、パンダケーキを
あげる時、1個を口に入れてあげても
口を開けたままもう1個貰えるのを
待ちます。一度に2個パンダケーキを
口に入れて嬉しそうにしていました。
He took one out of his mouth and
kept it in his right hand.
1個は口から出して、大切そうに
右手で持っていました。
We can see he is holding one Panda Cake
in his right hand and eating one on his left hand.
左手に持っているパンダケーキを先に食べ、
もう1個は右手に持って予備として楽しみに
しているみたいです。
"I love everything that I'm allowed to eat!"
「食べられるものは何でも大好き!」
Tomorrow I will go to Adult Area to
take care of KouHin (XingBang).
明日は成年パンダエリアで幸浜の飼育をします。

Happy Birthday WenLi (DaDa) and YaLi (XiaoXiao) @ Young Cubs Enclosure, CRBGPB
Today I went to the Young Cubs Enclosure
to say Happy Birthday to WenLi (DaDa) and YaLi (XiaoXiao).
WenLi and YaLi are twin sisters and were
born in 19 July 2009. They are called "DaDa" and "XiaoXiao"
because they are twins and DaDa means "big"
and XiaoXiao means "small" in Chinese.
This is WenLi (DaDa).
This is YaLi (XiaoXiao).
DaDa on the right and XiaoXiao on the left.
Although XiaoXiao is the younger sister,
she is bigger than her elder sister DaDa.
DaDa on the left and XiaoXiao on the right.
ZhiZhi found an apple left in her drinking water,
and tried to take it out to eat. She was trying hard
for a long time, but in the end I helped her to
take it out for her.
Tomorrow I will go to No. 14 and Quarantine to
take care of RyuHin (LongBang) and ShuHin (QiuBang).

ErXi and JiaoQing @ Sunshine Nursery, CRBGPB
This morning I went to the Sunshine Nursery
to take care of the 2010 born cubs.
Today all the cubs had health check ups.
This is ErXi being checked up.
He was told to lie on his back and show his tummy,
and he seemed happy all through.
The vets opened his mouth so that they could check his
teeth too. ErXi has white cute teeth.
After his health check, he slowly approached
one of the wooden playground equipment
to show off his charm to the tourists.
"Yumi, everyone is watching me today.
Do you think they love me?"
Everyone watching him had smiles on
their face, and I think they loved ErXi's
cute behavior.
He walked into his favorite bush.
ErXi loves spending some time here alone.
The cubs are growing bigger everyday.
ErXi is becoming more and more handsome.
He closed his eyes to feel the sunshine.
ErXi's long nose and cute behavior
reminds me of his grandfather EiMei (YongMing)
and his father ShuHin (QiuBang).
He smelled his feet to make sure it wasn't so bad.
We took a picture together.
ErXi started to play with YuanLin today.
This is JiaoQing.
He has become one year old on July 15,
and at last I had the chance to say Happy Birthday
to him. He came running towards me and
bit my boots for a while.
We had to bring the cubs all inside at around 10.
JiaoQing came close so that I could take some
pictures of him. He's really a friendly guy.
I will try to see all the Pandas on their birthdays
for the coming weeks.
