In the breeder studio, two reduced versions of Yangcheng Evening News clippings witnessed the glorious history of breeding giant pandas in Guangzhou Zoo. The above records the first introduction of two female giant pandas “Baoling” and “Baoling” in Guangzhou Zoo in 1965, starting the exploration of giant panda breeding, and the “History of Weishui” in Guangzhou Zoo, which was held on March 23, 1980, as friendship envoys, went to Fukuoka Zoo in Japan for exhibition. Among them, the male giant panda Shanshan is the longest-lived giant panda in Guangzhou Zoo. It was 3 years old and equivalent to the centenary of human beings. In the 1970s and 8th Cinema, this was a very rare achievement and witnessed the hard work made by the Guangzhou Zoo team.
According to reports, many pandas were captured or rescued from the wild in the last century. Because the units that raised giant pandas at that timeThe conditions are limited, and most pandas found in the wild are sent to some zoos such as Beijing Zoo, Chengdu Zoo, and Chongqing Zoo. In April 1965, two female giant pandas, Baoling and Baoli, were found outdoors in Baoxing County, Sichuan Province; in September of that year, they were sent to Guangzhou Zoo to live. In 1963, Shanshan, a male giant panda who was also found in the wild in Baoxing County, went to Beijing Zoo to live in September of that year; in 1973, she moved to Guangzhou Zoo to live in March.
In 1979, Guangzhou began to establish friendly relations with foreign cities. The first international friendly city with Guangzhou is Fukuoka, Japan. The local area in Fukuoka holds the Dong-beating Drum Festival every May 3-4, and men, women, young and old make up and parade in the city in their favorite form. At that time, many people disguised themselves as giant pandas. Seeing that Fukuoka citizens loved pandas so much, Guangzhou sent “friendly messengers” giant panda Shanshan and Baoling to Fukuoka to “visit” for two months.
“KomiksBecause the cage is new, the elf’s ‘Shanshan’ is full of doubts. At first, he always took a step back and tried to snatch the food temptation bowl. But in the end, driven by appetite, it finally entered the fortune cage. Although it found that it was deceived and irritated for a while, its fatigue finally calmed it down. The quiet ‘Baoling’ was very sensible and consciously walked into the fortune cage. When he came to eat the delicious breakfast, it seemed to have relish.” The Yangcheng Evening News published on March 23, 1980 vividly recorded the moment of the “Friendship Messenger” visit.
The Cinema breeder at Guangzhou Zoo remembered that Fukuoka Zoo built a 150-square-meter ventilated open panda hall for this purpose. After Shanshan and Baoling arrived, they were crowded with people coming to see the style of giant pandas every day.
There are media records that “the bamboo eaten by the bearBabaylancats are transported by airplanes every week from Kyushu Minami and Okinawa. Because the audience is too crowded, a road has to be temporarily built outside the main entrance of the zoo.” “In order to commemorate this event, the zoo has specially published a special issue.
It is understood that this is not only theref=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan is the first time that the giant panda in Guangzhou has visited Japan, and it is also the only time that the Cinema has been in Japan so far.
The panda hall has media reports hanging.
The panda breeding environment has steadily improved.BabaylanEnd the “out-of-view trip”, Shanshan returned to Guangzhou. It died in 1985 at the age of 33, setting a record for the lifespan of pandas raised in the Guangzhou Zoo. On the wall of the giant panda exhibition hall of Guangzhou Zoo, reports of “Shanshan” and “Baoling” on the outskirts and reports of “Funnybookish.com/”>KomiksZoo began to raise pandas in important moments, including the important moments of “Funnybookish.com/”>Cinema were carefully framed into the photo frame.
According to reports, Guangzhou Zoo has raised 17 giant pandas, 7 of which are owned by Guangzhou Zoo. Since 1991, 10 have been exhibited by rent. Currently, there are two pandas in the museum, “Babaylan Xingyi” and “Yayi”. The brother and sister are 9 years old this year, equivalent to 27 years old in humans. They are also rented from the Chengdu giant panda breeding research base.
This year marks the 57th year of raising giant pandas in Guangzhou Zoo. On the road of exploring giant panda breeding, the park has upgraded and improved the “hardware” and “Komiks software”. The new Panda Pavilion was completed in 2018. The new museum covers an area of 2,000 square meters, and is based on the terrain layout, “both internal and external”: the outer sports field has more original greening and habitat frames for giant pandas to run, jump and move. In midsummer, the room temperature of the inner sports field is controlled between 22℃ and 26℃, and the giant pandas are BabaylanWe can cool off in the cool breeze. The exterior of the giant panda hall is full of “Chinese style”. Walking in the indoor visiting passage, visitors can see the giant pandas in the indoor sports field up close through the glass. They can also learn more about giant panda breeding through the transparent design kitchen and bamboo leaf storage room.
In addition to facilities, the health and longevity of giant pandas are inseparable from the “National Treasures Guardian Team”. There are 5 breeders in the team who take care of the giant panda’s daily life and diet. In daily maintenance, the breeding team needs to prepare about 200 kilograms of bamboo tubes and bamboo leaves for the giant panda every day, make 4 steamed buns specially prepared for giant pandas, and match them with fresh fruits and vegetables to fully ensure nutritional supply. At the same time, the feed ratio is adjusted for different physiological periods of giant pandas to ensure balanced nutrition, and insist on recording good food and excretion, daily behavior and other data every day. Through the organization and research of the data, giant panda breeding operation procedures are formed, laying a good foundation for the “passing and helping” work of giant panda breeding. The dietary structure will also be adjusted for the age of giant pandas.
It is also reported that since giant pandas are currently rented, the Chengdu giant panda breeding research base will be flexibly allocated according to the growth characteristics of giant pandas. Staff gave an example, if a giant panda enters the breeding period, the research base will arrange for pairing giant pandas that are not close relatives according to their blood relationship; for older giant pandas, Babaylan may also adjust to return to the base to retire quietly.
