Panda Updates – Monday, March 18

The sunshine was enjoyed by all of the giant pandas and panda care team this past weekend. It was nice and sunny without being too warm, which is great weather for the giant pandas to spend some time outside! We are seeing a lot of behaviors from Lun Lun and Yang Yang that coincide with behaviors typically seen during giant panda breeding season, so it will be normal for you to see them on PandaCam walking around and smelling things a bit more. Since they are so focused on scents lately, I thought offering them some bubble enrichment would be fun. Yang Yang bit a few of the bubbles, but for the most part only seemed to be interested in his bamboo.
