Ai Li Who Likes to Play "Hide and Seek"

2021-06-03

Ai Li, is a female giant panda that was born on July 24, 2011 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She has a round head, fat body, big ears and a wide shoulder belt. She was a member of the famous group of panda cubs composed of Shuang Xin, Shuang Xi, He Qi, He Mei and Er Qiao called "the crazy six". Now Ai Li is all grown up and is the mother of Ai Lun and Ai Mi. She is immersed in the joy of being a mother,  like other pandas, her days are not only just "eat or sleep", but also play "hide and seek" with tourists.

In the early morning, the keepers prepare delicious bamboo shoots for the pandas after cleaning the playground. One day, as soon as she peaked from the door, the enthusiastic tourists started "shooting" at her with cameras that seem like long guns and short guns. She went straight to hide behind a big stone in the far corner of the playground. From time to time, she would peep out her head from behind the stone to look at the tourists. When the tourists raised the camera again, she went back and hid! So again and again, again and again, she repeatedly played "hide and seek" with tourists, causing tourists to laugh.

Finally, she could no longer refuse the temptation of the delicious food. She bypassed the big rocks, crossed the woods from the edge of the playground, came to the bamboo shoots, and let the "Crazy" tourists take photos.

Here, I would like to remind visitors to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding that they should try not to make any noise during the tour and keep quiet while visiting the pandas; do not feed  any of the pandas; turn off your camera flash when taking photos of the panda. Love animals, protect giant pandas, civilized tourism begins with me!
