[THE CUTE SHOW]
[YUNNAN WILD ANIMAL PARK]
My name is Li Kang Lan.
Right now we're at the Yunnan Wildlife Zoo.
I'm the caretaker of the red pandas here.
What makes red pandas so unique?
Red pandas have a round shaped body,
red fur all over,
a white snout with white whiskers,
and a red fluffy tail.
What's the red pandas natural habitat?
They usually live in areas about 2,000 meters above sea level
with abundant trees and bamboo.
The red panda is mainly active at dawn and dusk.
They'll usually hide up in a tree and sleep during the day.
Do you remember the first time you met a red panda?
I was curious and excited to meet my first red panda.
I thought it was cute and gentle,
kind of like a small cat.
I remember wanting to give it a hug, but I couldn't.
Why do you think red pandas are so cute?
They are so cute when they walk and sleep.
They sleep like a cat, sometimes curling up into a ball.
They are also very dainty eaters.
They always clean themselves after they finish eating.
What do you feed them?
Red pandas mainly eat bamboo and soft leaves.
For the pandas in captivity we will supplement their diet with more protein and vitamins
by feeding them fruits like apples and pears,
and red pandas really like sweet things.
How long can red pandas live?
Under normal circumstances the red panda can live for about ten years.
They might even live longer under captivity.
Don't look at me. Hurry up and eat.
