Ming Bang and Shu Lin came to the outdoor activities in the cool of the morning. During the season when bamboo shoots are eaten, the keepers will put fresh bamboo shoots in the outdoor playground and wait for them to come out. If they don't want to come out, the keeper will use apples to attract them.

As a quiet and gentle giant panda, Ming Bang likes to find a place to rest when she go outdoors. She will usually hide in the bushes to sleep. when she feels hungry, she will get up and eat some bamboo shoots. Instead, Shu Lin is more active, however he will take a break when he is tired.

Up to now, Ming Bang and Shu Lin have lived in Liuzhou Zoo for more than five years. Their contract was successfully renewed in January 2018, so they will continue to live in the Liuzhou Zoo in the future. I believe that their healthy and happy life in Liuzhou will continue with the care of their keepers!
