Date of visit: 25th May 2021
Location: Beauval zoo, France
On the platform, Yuan Zi discovered that there were many bamboo shoots as treats !! His climbing just before was rewarded !! Even though Yuan Zi was feeling full just a couple of minutes before, looking at the bamboo shoots helped him to find an empty space in his stomach.
The bamboo shoots were looking amazing, indeed ! Yuan Zi suddenly thought that the visitors may ‘borrow’ his meal ! After all, humans sometimes eat bamboo shoots, right ? Yuan Zi possessively protected his lunch.
Because the bamboo shoots were really tender, he swallowed his whole meal in a flash.
Actually, Yuan Zi was still a cutie ! His eating pose was very childish and visitors loved it ! They all praised him about his cuteness and noticed that he was leaning against the slide. They immediately asked if he could do a favor and use it !
Since Yuan Zi spent his first years in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, he had learnt many funny games ! He also learnt how to use the slide, so he agreed for a ride in order to please his visitors ! He was probably the first to use this one !
However, it seemed that goind down the slide was easier in his memories than now, and was a bit reluctant at first.
Keep it up, Yuan Zi !
Finally Yuan Zi did it ! The visitors were very happy for having attended this special moment ! Once on the ground, Yuan Zi bragged a bit about his achievement (even though he wasn’t that confident 10 seconds ago) !
The visitors asked then for a second try, but Yuan Zi declined the request. Instead, he decided to take a look on the new little house the keepers built.
The keepers were probably very happy to know how much Yuan Zi was enjoying his new platform !
However, even a new hut in your garden cannot make you forget about bamboo shoots. Yuan Zi couldn’t have said better !
Yuan Zi climbed down the platform and went again on his front rock. He bleated to ask for bamboo shoots, then went for a nap.
When Yuan Zi woke up, he saw that his keeper left a bunch of bamboo. However, how disappointed he was when noticing these were ordinary bamboos !
… Yuan Zi wanted bamboo shoots ! Don’t worry Yuan Zi ! The keepers will give you bamboo shoots again !
He tried then to forget about his disappointement by going on a walk. How handsome he was when he was wandering near the waterfall !
Yes you are, Yuan Zi !
That’s all for today Folks ! Stay tuned for the next panda post !
