The first milk period has ended.
The color of Yuan Yuan 's milk
has turned creamy white from light green.
Compared to human's, pandas' milk has
much higher concentration of vitamins and minerals.
They are essential nutrition for Yuan Yuan's cub, Yuan Zai.
Therefore our keepers have to collect Yuan Yuan's milk by hand every day, instead of using formula.
It takes two keepers to collect the milk manually.
One keeper feeds Yuan Yuan honey, one of her favorite,
in order to distract her.
The other keeper has the important task of collecting the milk.
He has to quickly draw sufficient milk from Yuan Yuan,
so Yuan Zai has enough to eat.
Good job, Yuan Yuan!
