I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 384 Astronaut Zhuangzhuang

The diameter of the tire swing was wider than the waist of a giant panda, and its hanging height was also carefully designed so that the bottom was the same height as a giant panda’s belly, serving both exercise and entertainment functions.

If the giant panda wanted to cling to the tire swing and sway, it had to rely on the strength of its rear legs to support its body, which could exercise its lower limb strength.

Zhuangzhuang stood up, one arm threading through the tire, with his honest face and dark eye circles "embedded" within the tire’s frame, blinking and turning his head from side to side, resembling a moving panda avatar, looking amusingly adorable.

He walked two steps on the grass, lifting his legs.

Then one leg kicked out with force!

His upper body’s arms also exerted strength, and the entire bear passed through to the middle of the tire.

The tire became its belt, Zhuangzhuang sticking out his plump bottom, head hanging down, limbs dangling on either side ╭θ╮.

He looked like a weightless astronaut, suspended in mid-air.

The tire spun slowly around the rope as its axis, and Zhuangzhuang gently rotated along, looking endearingly silly.

The tourists were amused by Zhuangzhuang’s antics: "Hahaha, this giant panda really knows how to have fun!"

"So cute! Like a cotton candy."

"A big sticky rice ball!"

"Hahaha, doesn’t he get dizzy spinning?"

"So silly!"

Mother Tang, watching Zhuangzhuang play on the swing, couldn’t help but smile broadly: "This panda is really interesting, feels just as dopey as a red panda."

Father Tang was also thoroughly enjoying the sight: "Pandas are such pros at being cute, no wonder they’re national treasures."

Xiaoxin’s eyes shimmered as she took a video with her phone, agreeing with her father, "Yes, yes, pandas are cute in every way, their ears, paws, tails, butts, everything about them is adorable."

At that moment, she heard someone nearby discussing, "Which do you think is cuter, the giant panda or the red panda?"

Xiaoxin pondered this question and immediately felt torn!

Giant pandas and red pandas have different kinds of cuteness.

Red pandas have fluffy long tails, clear and spirited eyes, occasionally stick out their tongues playfully, and jump around like little fuzz balls. If they can’t get an apple, they pout with a wistful, pitiful gaze. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy

Even when scared and raising their hands to threaten foes, they’re super cute.

To humans, such threatening gestures aren’t scary at all, instead one might wish to hug and pet them.

Giant pandas, on the other hand, possess a kind of contrast cuteness!

Though they are bears, they have round faces, round ears, and round, rolly-polly butts; they’re round all over.

With their super large dark circles and black-and-white coloring, they tumble from all sorts of places, looking endearingly clumsy, like magical creatures straight out of a comic book.

Zhuangzhuang tried to come out from the front of the tire, struggling to lift his bottom, both chubby legs kicking up together.

As the tire slowly rotated, he lifted his left leg, then his right.

Like a child lying on the bed listening to mom tell a story, his two rear paws adorably wiggled back and forth.

His head also swayed left and right as he wriggled and pushed with his entire body.

"Hahaha, the panda got himself stuck!"

"That butt wiggle is too cute!"

"He can’t get down!"

"I really want to go behind him and give him a push!"

"I think you’re pretending to help but actually just want to touch the panda’s butt!"

Some tourists laughed so hard at Zhuangzhuang’s clumsy and silly appearance that they shed tears!

Zhuangzhuang’s efforts weren’t in vain, as with each kick and twist of his neck, he moved forward bit by bit.

After spinning in the air for seven or eight circles, he finally fell out of the tire.

```

Giant pandas often fall from various places, and cushioning has become an instinct.

Zhuangzhuang adjusted his posture as he fell.

His head hit the ground, with his chubby buttocks following closely behind, limbs raised to the sky as he lay on his back, Duang~

He casually flipped over and got up.

I have safely landed!

Still, visitors worried, "Could their heads get hurt from the fall?"

"That tire swing seems a bit dangerous!"

Keepers from other exhibits take some time each day for educational talks, but the giant panda exhibit has a dedicated educator, always present in the exhibit.

If visitors come and only take away the superficial impressions of the animals being cute and lovable, without distinguishing between wild animals and cute pets, then the zoo has failed terribly.

It reduces the zoo to mere entertainment, which is a disservice to the animals’ sacrifices due to captivity.

There is a need to do well in educational work.

Hearing the visitors’ concerns, the interpreter smiled and explained, "Pandas falling over is a very common occurrence, so there’s no need to worry!

From the time they are cubs, they frequently fall, such as being dropped by their mothers who don’t hold them well, being pushed aside unintentionally due to not noticing where the cubs are, or just being pushed away when they are not favored.

They can trip coming down the platform, tumble down slopes, fall while climbing halfway up a tree, or have a little fall while playing with companions. They can even manage to fall over when leaning on a wall."

"Haha!"

"Only a panda could do such things."

The visitors, finding this amusing, couldn’t help but laugh.

The interpretercontinued, "Pandas have basically been falling since they were young. But why do they fall so often?

Firstly, pandas have poor vision! Giant pandas in the wild live in dense forests where it’s dim and full of obstacles, so their vision has degenerated. They have severe myopia and can only see clearly a few meters ahead.

Pandas rely more on their sense of smell and hearing to distinguish things!"

"Oh~"

A bespectacled student instinctively touched his glasses, "So pandas are short-sighted too!"

Someone joked, "It must be because they got hit in the eyes! Not only did they get dark circles, but their vision also deteriorated."

The interpreter said, "Giant pandas like to climb, and climbing trees can better help them avoid danger. They have plump buttocks, which shifts their center of gravity backward, making it hard to maintain balance, so it’s easy for them to fall down.

Additionally, pandas often drastically underestimate their own weight! Even though they weigh dozens of kilos, they try to climb fragile little branches, just like a fat person sitting on a fragile plastic chair, naturally, they will fall down.

Sometimes, panda mothers even intentionally push their cubs off to make them fall, as a way to train their survival skills."

"Wow, that’s really pushing your kid into a pit!"

"This parenting method is extraordinary!"

"Russians do the same with their kids! They spin them around, there’s a saying, ’better to feed with human milk than bear milk, and better to spin a child than feed with bear milk.’ Boys should be spun twenty-eight times a day, girls nineteen!"

"Shocking, no wonder they’re known as a nation of fighters!"

The interpreter said, "Giant pandas aren’t afraid of falling. They have fur that is 10 centimeters long, and under the thick fur, there’s a layer of fat. With these two layers of defense, most of the impact force is absorbed when they hit the ground.

Plus, the bones of giant pandas are very dense, so a fall usually doesn’t bother them much."

Sister Lu once shared an anecdote when she was handing over a panda, saying Zhuangzhuang, at the age of 2, fell from a 3-meter-high tree unscathed.

However, that height was somewhat dangerous for a 2-year-old panda and even gave the keepers quite a scare.

"So giant pandas are really tough."

"I’ve learned something new."

"When I visited the Asian black bear exhibit, I heard a keeper explain that bears are also quite good at taking falls. When coming down a tree, to speed up, they’ll let go of the branches while still high up."

The visitors, now thoroughly engaged in the conversation, felt reassured about the tire swing and the possibility of pandas getting hurt.
