Visitor Throwing Rubbish to China Xi'an Qinling Wildlife Park's Giant Panda
Visitor are throwing rubbish to the Giant Panda Qin Qin and he look skinny..
A 17-year old panda Qin Qin (秦秦) was found dead in November 22 2006, at Xi'an Qiling Wildlife Park. Preliminary diagnosis shows bruising in his lung, liver and kidney, severe pulmonary congestion and edema, left ventricular dilatation, mild liver and kidney congestion, and cerebral atrophy (aging disease). Qin Qin's lungs were filled up with excess fluid resulting in breathing difficulty and poor oxygenation of blood that lead to heart failure.
Qin Qin was born on August 31, 1989. Qin Qin's mother Dan Dan is the world's first brown panda. His father is the famous panda named Wan Wan. Qin Qin has exceptional pedigree. Both his parents are rescued wild pandas from the Foping National Nature Reserve. Qin Qin's the only success captive breed panda through natural breeding in Xi'an province.
Since Qin Qin's mother died of cancer in 2000, Qin Qin has been living alone in Qiling Wildlife Park. The zoo has tried many ways to find him a mate. According to reports, Qinling Wildlife Park gone to great pains across the country seeking a mate for Qin Qin. But because of his unusual bloodline, the park has submitted the plan and searching process through the State Forestry Administration. Unfortunately, the plan has not achieved. Finally, Xi'an Qinling Wildlife Park tried to contact the relevant organizations to arrange for his sperm collection to preserve for future offspring, but ultimately it did not take place.
Panda at the rescue center near Xi'an, China
This is a rescue center for Panda Bears near Xi'an. The bears were treated very well (can't say that for the other animals, but the conditions were surely better from whence they were rescued), and we were allowed to get right up close to them.
China sets up Qinling giant panda research center
A research center dedicated to the study of the Qinling giant panda was established in northwest Shaanxi Province. The center will focus on five research fields: conservation biology, genetics, physiology, disease prevention and nutrition. The facility houses “Qizai,” the world’s only brown and white panda living in captivity.

Tourists Encounter Wild Giant Panda in Northwest China
It is not every day when someone can see a wild giant panda, but a group of tourist came across one to their delight last Saturday while they were at a nature reserve in Foping County of northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
The video footage taken by one of the visitors shows the panda taking a leisurely stroll down a hill as it searched for food.
The man who shot the video, Zhou Shijun, said the group was rolling a snow ball on the road when they suddenly spotted the giant panda about 20 meters away and it seemed not afraid of the human visitors.
It was our first time to see a panda in the wild in such close quarters. We were very happy and excited, said Zhou.
The giant panda was later spotted again at a place 500 meters from the entrance of a protection station sitting in the snow by a stone on the slope and eating bamboo.
I think it was the cold weather that drove the giant panda downhill. Recently, it has been snowing in the high altitude area and it is very thick. That affected the activities and forage of the giant panda. So it came downhill to the riverside, where the snow is thinner and it is easy for the giant panda to find food, said Liang Qihui, senior engineer of the management bureau at the Foping Nature Reserve.

Panda en China: especie amenazada/ China's panda: endangered specie [IGEO.TV]
Colabora con nosotros:
El panda gigante de China, el insaciable devorador de bambú, es considerado una especie amenazada desde 1996. El número de pandas salvajes en China está estimado en 1600 ejemplares, esparcidos por los territorios de Sichuan, Gansu y Shaanxi.
Se calcula que existen 239 pandas gigantes en Cautiverio y otros 20 especimenes distribuidos por los principales zoológicos del mundo.
Este gran oso de aspecto entrañable, símbolo de la nación china y que llegó, incluso a ser mascota de algunos emperadores, es en realidad un animal fuerte, un gran trepador y solitario.
Entre las principales causas de la desaparición de este mamífero encontramos
- su dificultad para reproducirse, sobretodo, cuando se encuentran en cautividad.
- la alta mortalidad de sus crías
- Y, por supuesto, la destrucción de su hábitat natural (ya se han talado en china miles de hectáreas de bosques de bambú) el cual, es además su principal fuente de alimento, llegando a necesitar un panda adulto unos 12 kilos al día para sobrevivir.
Otra de las causas que han motivado su desaparición son los cazadores furtivos que siguen operando a pesar de los fuertes castigos impuestos por el gobierno chino. No obstante, En el año 2005 se consiguió la supervivencia de 25 crías nacidas en cautiverio, lo que se considera un gran paso para lograr evitar la extinción de este hermoso animal.
The panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, lit. black and white cat-foot) also known as the giant panda to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda, is a bear native to south central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is over 99% bamboo. Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. As a result of farming, deforestation and other development, the panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.
The panda is a conservation reliant endangered species. A 2007 report shows 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country.Wild population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild,while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000. Some reports also show that the number of pandas in the wild is on the rise.However, the IUCN does not believe there is enough certainty yet to reclassify the species from Endangered to Vulnerable.

Giant Panda Wild Training
Five mother-baby pairs of captive-bred giant pandas in southwest China's Sichuan Province are receiving wild training this year in order to return to the wild in 2019 and 2020, the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas said Wednesday.
So far, 11 captive-bred giant pandas have been released into the wild and nine of them have survived.
To help the endangered species, the center's Hetaoping Survival Training Base in the Wolong National Nature Reserve is busy training the five mother-baby pairs.
Mother pandas receive wild training together with their babies, and we will release the baby pandas to the wild. A mother panda with some experience of living in the wild can teach its baby how to find bamboo, water and avoid danger, said Liu Xiaoqiang, an official of the Hetaoping Survival Training Base.
The center said it is considering the release of giant pandas in nature reserves other than Wolong and further studies will be carried out.
Giant pandas are endangered and live mainly in the mountains of Sichuan, as well as in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in northwest China.
China - Tigers and leopards born in Beijing Zoo
T/I: 11:14:28
The Year of the Tiger welcomed the birth of four baby Manchurian Tiger cubs at the Beijing Zoo on May 1st. Sunday (14/6), one and a half months after the birth, a naming ceremony was given to present the cubs to the public for the first time and also to announce their names. The Beijing Zoo sponsored a nationwide contest for Chinese citizens to help name the four female cubs. Hu Niu, Hu Ya, Hu Nan, and Hu Ni are the new names that were given by a fifth grader named Lee Cheng Hui. Another breeding program at the Beijing Zoo saw the birth of three snow leopards on May 17. A species that is also facing exctinction, these young cubs suffered grave danger immediately after their birth, when their mother refused to nurse them. The zookeepers were successul in finding a surrogate mother, a loving Japanese Long Muzzled Fox Hound, a dog who is nursing her own three pups along with the baby snow leopards.

Panda breeders work on ensuring genetic diversity
Each year, the State Forestry Administration and China Zoo Association co-select dozens of giant pandas that are in best conditions for producing cubs.
The bears are chosen from different pedigrees to ensure the passing-on of diversified genes.
This year, 56 female pandas are included in the mating plan.
In recent years, China has frequently launched wilderness training projects for captive-bred pandas.
One of the main reasons of those projects is also to boost genetic diversity.
Giant panda lives mainly in the mountains of China's southwestern province of Sichuan and northwestern provinces Shaanxi and Gansu.
They are threatened by habitat dwindling and low birthrate.
Only about 1,600 still exist in the wild, and some 300 live in captivity around the world.

What's more entertaining than watching a panda playing on a
slide? Watching 4 pandas playing on a slide! :) (A video from the Chengdu Panda Base).
Chengdu in China has been the hometown of the giant panda -- one of the world's most endangered species - for more than 8 million years, and the Chengdu Panda Base (a not-for-profit organisation) is a world-renowned breeding and research center for the giant panda. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012, the Panda Base now has the largest controlled breeding population in the world -- 108 giant pandas.
Panda Awareness Week highlights the work of the Chengdu Panda Base in fostering the continued growth of the giant panda population, as well as rescuing and rehabilitating pandas so they can return to the wild.
To celebrate Panda Awareness Week, 108 pandas brought panda-monium to the streets of London on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of July.

2018 China: Chengdu - Giant Panda Research Centre
Located just 10 km away from downtown, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has been created and imitated the natural habitat of giant pandas in order that they might have the best possible environment for rearing and breeding.
The giant pandas are not only a Chinese national treasure but are also beloved by people the world over. They are found only in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. In total there are fewer than 2,000, of which 70% are distributed within the territory of Sichuan Province. Therefore, when visitors from home and abroad come to Chengdu, Sichuan, one of their main objectives will be to see this lovely animal for themselves.
The Giant Panda Museum was opened in 1993 to further scientific education and to improve public awareness of the protection of both wild creatures and their environment. This is the world's only thematic museum for rare and endangered animal species. The three main exhibitions are in the Giant Panda Hall, the Butterfly Hall and the Vertebrate Hall. The exhibits include all kinds of precious pictures, more than 800 materials and show more than 2,140 different samples gathered in Sichuan. These include examples of animals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects as well as fossils and models. The resources held in store at the museum include up to ten thousand samples as well as a library of thousands of books and documents. This excellent and comprehensive museum provides a wonderful venue for all who are interested in seeing something of the propagation and protection of the region's natural bio-diversity.
#WILDLIFE #ANIMALS ENCOUNTERS: #4K UHD 50 FPS #DRONE FOOTAGE | #ARGALI RAMS #CHASE
The Kara Tau #argali, or the Kara Tau mountain sheep (species Ovis ammon nigrimontana) is a wild sheep that roams the highlands of Central Asia.
Argali's range is from central Kazakhstan in the west to the Shanxi Province in China in the east and from the Altai Mountains in the north to the Himalayas to the south. These are amazing animals of highland areas, inhabiting mountain slopes from elevations of 300 to 5,800 m (980 to 19,030 ft).
In protected areas, the species generally prefers gently sloping areas with soft broken terrain, although ewes with lambs often take up residence in more precipitous areas, characterized by canyons and jagged rocks.
Unfortunately, in areas (such as Kazakhstan) these gorgeous creatures are exposed to extensive #hunt, and therefore, they are also likely to be found in forested areas.
Argalis live in herds typically numbering between two and 150 animals, segregated by sex, except during breeding season. Most populations show large numbers of adult females, constituting more than half of a local population, against around 20% adult males and a further 20% young argali.
Some rams are solitary, but also seen in pairs with other males. However, most are seen in small herds numbering between three and 30 individuals.
Females and their young live in larger groups, regularly up to 100 individuals and exceptionally to 200 animals. Migrating herds, especially males, have been reported. Most migrations appear to be related to seasonally decreased food sources, though an overabundance of biting insects (especially gadflies), severe drought or fires, #poaching by humans, and large numbers of domestic livestock may also trigger movements. With their long legs, herds can travel quickly from place to place.
#Argali tend to live at higher elevations during the Summer, while in Winter they are often forced to go down due to heavy snowfalls.
Argali reach breeding maturity at 2-3 years of age. Rutting may occur from October to mid-January, generally lasting longer in lower elevations. In rutting herds, both rams and ewes attack others of their own sex, exerting dominance by ramming each other with their horns. Although such groups engage in lamb-like play, the combat of a pair of mature males is a serious business. The rams slam into each other, with their fore legs up in the air, exerting enough force to be heard up to 800 m (2,600 ft) away.
Often, the older males (over six years of age), which are also often the largest, end up the dominant ones and younger males are chased off once the ewes are in estrus. Once dominance is established, the top rams begin approaching ewes and smell their urine to determine their receptiveness.
The ram then repeatedly approaches the ewe and forcibly mounts her. Mating commences around two to three weeks after the rutting begins. Rams may remain in the company of ewes for up to two months after the rutting period is complete.

Three fluffy panda cubs debut at Chinese bredding centre
Apair of three-month-old twin panda cubs and another month-old baby bear made their public debut in north-west China yesterday. The Qinling Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre, in Shaanxi Province, have asked the public to help name the adorable trio during the ceremony, according to People's Daily Online. The three bears are the newest cubs born in Shaanxi, which is one of the two provinces in China to have native panda species. Atotal of four panda cubs were unveiled to the public yesterday and three of them are waiting to be named. They are the twin cubs born to mother panda Ai Bang on June 12 and another baby panda born to mother panda Zhu Zhu on August 21. The gender of the three pandas have not been revealed.The naming campaign asked panda lovers to suggest names through phone, email or instant messaging platform QQ before October 20. Dang Shuangren, the deputy head of the provincial forestry department, said the final names would be announced by the end of October. There are 1,864 wild pandas in the world, according to World Wildlife.They mainly live in bamboo forests high in the mountains of south-west China's Sichuan province, but can also be found in the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi province. Compared to the usual black-and-white giant pandas, the bears in Qinling can be paler in colour. The world's only living brown panda, Qizai, is from Qinling.Katherine Feng, an American vet and member of the International League of Conservation Photographers, said: 'Brown and white pandas have only been seen in the Qinling Mountains. 'The Qinling Mountain pandas are considered a different sub-species from those found in other mountain ranges. 'It is suspected that the brown and white colouring of pandas has a genetic basis, possible a result of a double recessive gene, a combination of genes or a dilution factor gene. Qi Zai's mother was black and white.'Since 2003, 16 panda cubs have been born at the Qinling Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre, bringing the number of its pandas in captivity to 23. The number of wild pandas in Shaanxi has grown to 345, according to People's Daily Online. Special: Qizai, from China, has proved that when it comes to a panda, it's not always a case of black and white Qizai was found as a two-month-old cub, weak and alone, by researchers in a nature reserve in Qinling Mountains in central China after his mother had apparently disappeared into the jungle. For his own safety, the researchers took him to the nearby Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue, Breeding and Research Centre where he was given medical treatment and fed on panda milk saved by the centre's staff from other pandas. He Xin, a 26-year-old Foping native, has taken care of Qizai, whose name means 'the seventh son', at the Foping Panda Valley for around two years. 'He is slower than the other pandas, but he is also cuter,' Mr He told MailOnline, describing him as a 'gentle, funny and adorable' animal. The keeper said Qizai does not act as quickly as the other pandas.Mr He said: 'All pandas here have names. When I call out their names, the other black-and-white pandas would react and come to me quickly, but for Qizai, it usually takes sometime to him to realise that. 'The man added that when Qizai was a cub, he had been bullied by other pandas who would eat his bamboo. 'He eats more slowly than the other too,' Mr He said.However, after he reached adulthood, Qizai has been raised in a separate enclosure. He is fed four to five times a day, and his meals range from bamboo, to milk to Chinese flour buns. The famous bear now weighs more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds), the normal size for a seven-year-old panda, and can eat around 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of bamboo every day.

The panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, lit. black and white cat-foot),[2] also known as the giant panda to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda, is a bear[3] native to central-western and south western China.[4] It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo.[5] Pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.[6][7]

Number 9 Dracula Ant
Adetomyrma venatrix is an ant species in Madagascar. Hence why this ant species is also known as the Dracula ant. After the queen gives birth to new larvae, she and the workers, will chew minuscule holes in them. Researchers aren’t sure why it happens, but it does fall in line with the social behavior of ants which involves transferring fluids to each other.
Number 8 Harp Seals
The harp seal is native to the Arctic Ocean and the most northern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. For the first 12 to 14 days after giving birth to their pups, harp seals are very dedicated mothers. During the nursing period, they lose over 6 pounds per day feeding their young. However, this period ends abruptly and the mother will abandon the pup on the ice and return to promiscuous mating.
Number 7 Black Eagle
Number 6 Lion
Lionesses aren't typically regarded as bad parents of the animal world. The cubs are usually the ones most affected by these power struggles. The mothers are often helpless to keep it from happening.
Number 5 Cuckoo
Females will lay their eggs in other birds’ nests and use several deception tactics to get out of parenting duties. They have secretive and fast-laying behaviors which may also involve luring host birds away from their nests. Females sometimes specialize and lay eggs which closely resemble those of their chosen hosts, or cryptic eggs, which are dark in color, in contrast to those of the host. This helps hide them in darker nests. The cuckoo chick usually hatches first and grows faster than the others in the nest.
Number 4 Panda
The giant panda has been the subject of numerous conservation efforts, which have contributed to the recent transition of their status from endangered to vulnerable. Some reports seem to indicate that their numbers in the wild have increased and that there are close to 2,000 pandas living in Central China, in the Sichuan region but also in the neighboring Gansu and Shaanxi.
Number 3 Beetle
The beetle has specialized antennae which enable it to detect an animal, usually a small bird or a mouse, from a long distance. After finding one, competing pairs fight each other, males versus males and females versus females, and those that emerge victorious get to keep it. At this point the larvae are capable of feeding themselves, but their parents may also feed them as a result of begging. In order to ensure that there’s enough food for everyone the parents may practice infanticide. The most successful parents achieve a balance between the number of offspring they produce and the size that they mature into.
Number 2 Barnacle Geese
The barnacle goose belongs to the Branta genus, which means geese species that have largely black plumage. These animals mainly breed on the Arctic Islands, in the North Atlantic. They build their nests on high cliffs, out of the reach of predators like polar bears and Arctic Foxes. Much like all geese species, the adults don’t bring food to the young. Instead, the newly hatched goslings come down from the cliffs, under the parents’ supervision. However, they are roughly three days old and unable to fly.
Number 1 African Social Spider
Stegodyphus dumicola, also known as the African social spider, lives in large colonies or family groups, in Central and South America. Only about 40% percent of the females have the chance to reproduce as they mature at a slower rate than the males.

The giant panda, also known as panda bear or simply panda, is a bear native to south central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. The name giant panda is sometimes used to distinguish it from the unrelated red panda. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda's diet is over 99% bamboo. Giant pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in neighbouring Shaanxi and Gansu. As a result of farming, deforestation, and other development, the giant panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.
The giant panda is a conservation reliant vulnerable species. A 2007 report showed 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country. As of December 2014, 49 giant pandas lived in captivity outside China, living in 18 zoos in 13 different countries. Wild population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild, while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000. Some reports also show that the number of giant pandas in the wild is on the rise. In March 2015, Mongabay stated that the wild giant panda population had increased by 268, or 16.8%, to 1,864 individuals. In 2016, the IUCN reclassified the species from endangered to vulnerable (it did not believe there was enough certainty yet to do so in 2008

Crested Ibises in Japan Japanology トキ 朱鷺, 鴇, 鵇, 鴾
The crested ibis (Nipponia nippon), also known as the Japanese crested ibis or toki (トキ), variously written in kanji as 朱鷺, 鴇, 鵇, 鴾, or 桃花鳥, and written in hanzi as 朱䴉 or 朱鷺, is a large (up to 78.5 cm (30.9 in) long), white-plumaged ibis of pine forests. Its head is partially bare, showing red skin, and it has a dense crest of white plumes on the nape. This species is the only member of the genus Nipponia.
They make their nests at the tops of trees on hills usually overlooking their habitat. Crested ibises usually eat frogs, small fish, and small animals.
At one time, the crested ibis was widespread in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Russia. It has now disappeared from most of its former range. The last wild crested ibis in Japan died in October 2003, with the remaining wild population found only in Shaanxi province of China until reintroduction of captive bred birds back into Japan in 2008. They were previously thought to be extinct in China too, until 1981 when only seven ibises were seen in Shaanxi, China.
Extensive captive breeding programs have been developed by Japan and China to conserve the species. They were put on the State Protection List in China. Also, for the past 23 years, China has bred and protected the species. In 2002, there were a total of 130 colonies in China. Northwest Shaanxi province's research center has a history of 26 crested ibis fledglings including artificial, and natural incubation. On July 31, 2002, five out of seven crested ibis chicks hatched at an incubation center in northwest Shaanxi province. This was one of the latest records and highest record ever recorded of chicks that hatched. The parents of the chicks were chosen from 60 ibis pairs raised at that research center.
