On July 3rd, 202654381day, the giant panda "Yaya" of Qinling Giant Panda Research Center (Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Base) gave birth to twins. Weight of female cubs137g, weight of male cubs110g. The twins are well developed and the mother and child are safe.
Memphis Zoo, located in Tennessee, has a history of 100 years. In 2003, Memphis Zoo signed a cooperation agreement with China. The giant pandas Yaya and Lele left their hometown, bid farewell to their "little friends" and were rented to the United States. According to the signed agreement, Yaya and Lele need to return to China in 20 13. However, when the contract expired, the United States did not send them back, but continued to renew the contract for 10 years. This also means that by the time Yaya and Lele return to China, it will be 2023.
At first, the living conditions of Yaya and Lele in Memphis Zoo were not bad. However, since 2020, many netizens have posted videos and photos, indicating that Yaya and Lele have become skinny and their living environment has become messy, which seems to be abused by Memphis Zoo.
At the end of 65438+ 10 last year, many netizens said that "Yaya" had serious stereotyped behavior, because the breeder had never interacted with it, and even when "Yaya" was hungry to beg for food, the breeder did not provide it with food, and "Yaya" had no fresh bamboo to eat for a long time. However, the China Zoo Association later refuted this rumor, saying that Yaya and Lele had no problems in terms of food provision and living environment. The United States also said that Yaya and Lele looked skinny because they had entered the old age stage and belonged to the "natural aging" stage. Although they are all American giant pandas, "Baiyun" and "Yaya" are worlds apart, because "Baiyun" has always been chubby and very healthy, and it doesn't look like the eldest panda at all.
