The giant panda, a peaceful creature with an iconic black-and-white marking, is adored by the world. There is no doubt that giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world with its clumsy face, fluffy fur, and chubby body. People always use some words, such as "cute", "adorable", and "lovely" to describe this kind of species. Actually, giant panda shows its loveliness in different seasons.

 

Loveliness in Spring

 

After a long cold winter, spring is coming. In spring, the giant panda can not only enjoy bright spring days, but also gain the favorite food: bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are juicy with rich nutrient. An adult panda can eat 20-40kg per day.

At the same time, giant panda cubs born in last year are about six months old. In spring, they take practice to climb, run and even "fight ". In their outdoor playground, they can be seen everywhere.

Spring is the giant panda's mating season. In general, from March to May, female pandas may express a mating signal to attract male pandas, which can ensure the continuation of excellent genes.

Loveliness in Summer

 

With its own thick fur, summer is not a good season for the giant panda. With the coming of summer, wild giant pandas move into the cooler area at higher altitude and lower temperature for summering, while captive giant pandas live in the indoor enclosure with air conditioners. Anyway, the warm temperature doesn’t hamper giant pandas showing their loveliness.

 


Qi Qiao: I can also play and eat indoors. Do you wanna join us?

Loveliness in Autumn

 

Autumn is the season of harvest. Every year in summer and autumn, giant panda mothers gives birth to newborn cubs. It has to be said that the giant panda is born to a lovely creature, for its pink body is covered with undercoat; rice-sized ears rise slightly; and bright tail tip shakes now and then. Although newborn cubs could not open their eyes, they can cry loudly to announce their arrival at the world.
