The National Zoo is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its giant panda program with special events. Here's how to make the most of a visit to the Panda House.
Pandas receive treats multiple times each day, MacCorkle says. A favorite are— ice pops made of diluted fruit juice and water — that serve double duty by keeping the animals cool on warm days. “They receive fruitsicles a couple times per week,” MacCorkle says. “However, keepers don’t give them out on a set schedule.”Just being handed a pile of bamboo every day isn’t stimulating for the pandas.
Pandas are solitary animals, and it’s customary for the zoo to separate mother and cub after the cub is weaned. How long will Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji be in the same enclosure?“Currently, Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji have ample opportunities to interact. In the wild, a weaning giant panda cub would gradually move further away from its mother, until it is unable to see or hear her.
