It has been several months since the completion of the new structures in each of the giant panda dayrooms, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. The pandas have truly liked these multi-tiered structures, providing them new opportunities for rest, play, and exploration. In this article, we will explore the unique and fascinating aspects of these structures and delve into the individual preferences of our adorable panda residents.
Let’s start with Yang Yang, a panda beloved by keepers and visitors. While most pandas tend to spend their time on the higher platforms, Yang Yang has preferred the lower levels. It’s not uncommon to find him comfortably resting on the lower platforms, enjoying its tranquility and solitude. However, don’t be surprised if you occasionally spot him napping on the highest platform in Dayroom 2. Yang Yang likes to keep things interesting!
Moving on to Lunar Lunar, it is no surprise that she gravitates towards the hammocks within the dayroom structures. She seems to enjoy the gentle sway and comfort that the hammocks provide. It’s truly a sight to behold when Lun Lun finds herself nestled in one of the hammocks, peacefully enjoying her day. Her contentment is infectious and brings joy to everyone who witnesses it.
Xi Lun, on the other hand, has a particular taste for cozy nooks in the perching areas. When she needs some well-deserved rest, she seeks out the perfect spot amidst the perching, settling in with great satisfaction. However, she seems to have inherited her mother’s admiration for the hammocks and begun spending more time relaxing in them. We have also noticed Xi Jinping developing a newfound interest in people-watching. In moments of deep contemplation, you might catch her resting against the new logs, gazing out of the windows with a stoic expression.
Now, let’s turn our attention to Ya Lun, whose preferences provide a delightful contrast to her panda companions. While Ya Lun enjoys sleeping on the soft mulch of the dayroom flooring, she prefers to dine on the highest platform of Dayroom 2 or sit upright on some of the perching. It’s fascinating how each panda has unique preferences and quirks, making them all the more special.
As you can imagine, observing these trends in the pandas’ behavior has been an exciting experience for us keepers. We greatly enjoy their enjoyment of the new structures and watching their personalities shine through. It’s a constant reminder of the beauty and diversity of nature.
But why take our word for it when you can witness these captivating behaviors yourself? Next time you have the opportunity to visit our zoo or check out the PandaCam, we encourage you to keep an eye out for these trends. See if you can spot Yang Yang on the lower platforms, Lun Lun in her beloved hammocks, Xi Lun nestled in the perching or observing the world outside, and Ya Lun sleeping on the soft mulch or delighting in her elevated dining experience.
In conclusion, the new structures in the giant panda dayrooms have brought excitement and joy to the pandas and those who observe them. These structures have deepened our understanding of each panda’s unique preferences and behaviors. We hope you enjoy exploring these trends and perhaps even share your observations. Nature always amazes us, and witnessing it firsthand is a true gift.
Source Description
It has been several months since we have completed the new structures in each giant panda dayroom. As you may have seen, the structures in both indoor areas were replaced and upgraded to multi-tiered structures. With time, we have seen how each panda enjoys these new structures and the trends they have started. Yang Yang’s favorite place to rest is the lower platform of each structure, but you can occasionally find him napping on the highest platform in Dayroom 2. Lun Lun, to no one’s surprise, enjoys sitting in the hammocks of each structure the most. Xi Lun tends to snuggle into a nook in the perching of each platform to rest but prefers to eat either leaning on the perching or sitting in the hammocks like her mother. We have also noticed that she has recently been interested in people-watching. If you see a panda resting against some of the new logs and looking out the windows very stoically, it is most likely Xi Lun. You Lun (pictured) seems to prefer to sleep on the soft mulch of the dayroom flooring but likes to eat on the highest platform of Dayroom 2 or be seated very upright on some of the perching. Next time you stop by or check out PandaCam, see if you notice any of these trends!
