Panda Updates – Monday, July 16

Many of you may have noticed there is a white barrel in the place of the hammock in one of the giant panda dayrooms. As is often the case, the hammock needed a bit of cleaning so, in the meantime, we decided to put up one of our many leafeater biscuit feeder devices. After Yang Yang left a biscuit in the spinning barrel one day, Ya Lun and Xi Lun discovered the true purpose of this device other than just for climbing. In their attempts to figure it out they began spinning it and out popped their reward. Now, whenever they spend time in that dayroom, we usually put a few of their biscuits in the barrel and watch as they run straight to the barrel to see what new goodies are out there.
