They offered viewers the opportunity to see animals that they otherwise would never have seen. These animals were kept in cages to protect the zoo-goers. The history of zoos demonstrates a conflicting desire between our human need to connect with animals as well as our fear (literal and metaphoric) of what that connection might mean.

  • Washington Zoo Ready for Baby Panda Bei Bei's Public Debut 16 December 2015
    Washington zoo ready for baby panda Bei Bei's public debut 16 December 2015 Zoo employees have been able to see the infant creature, and dozens of journalists were invited Wednesday for Bei Bei's media debut. Admission to the zoo is free, but dues-paying members will get exclusive access to Bei Bei in early January before the Panda House reopens to the general public. Bei Bei is the son of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, female and male giant pandas on loan to the zoo from China. The panda's birth was the result of artificial insemination—a delicate affair because females are fertile only once a year, and for no more than two Bei Bei, the newest addition to the giant panda family at days, said Pierre Comizzoli, the veterinarian in Washington, DC's National Zoo, greets an indulgent charge. press corps on December 16, 2015, as the zoo's panda house prepares to reopen to the public on January 16 Mei Xiang actually gave birth to twins, but one died of pneumonia after just a few days.

  • Giant Panda Program and Cub Backgrounder
    Giant Panda Conservation Program and Cub Backgrounder Giant Panda Breeding and Conservation Program The Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute is a leader in giant panda conservation. Ever since these charismatic bears arrived at the Zoo in 1972, animal care staff and scientists have studied giant panda biology, behavior, breeding, reproduction and disease. These experts are also leading ecology studies in giant pandas' native habitat. The Zoo's giant panda team works closely with colleagues in China to advance conservation efforts around the world and save giant pandas in the wild. • Additional resources: o In-depth background on the Zoo’s giant panda conservation program. o Brief history and timeline of the Zoo’s giant panda program.

  • Chapter Ii the Development of China Panda Diplomacy A
    CHAPTER II THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA PANDA DIPLOMACY This chapter discusses the development of China Panda Diplomacy. The researcher will explain the symbolism of Panda. In the other hand, the researcher will explore the stages of Panda Diplomacy and mentioning the step of the giant Panda loan breeding process. Last but not least, the writer will mention the countries that received the Panda. A. THE SYMBOLISM OF PANDA China was known as one of the oldest ancient in the earth. Besides its famous landmark of the Great Wall, China owns a cute animal named the Giant Panda, Ailuropoda Melanoleuca (Xianmeng Qiu, Susan A. Mainka, 1993). From the Chinese perspective, Panda is a symbol of peace and friendship. They have a gentle temperament and aren’t known for attacking others. This animal is also believed to have powers to combat evil spirits (Wang, 2017). There some province in China assumes that giant panda is a symbol of luck. The color contrast of giant panda equated as the mythology of Yin and Yang or means as equality that reflected the equality of life. The Pandas are seen as a symbol of co- operation between China and the receiving countries (Hinderson, 2017). Scholars acknowledge that culture is as important a politics, military, and economic as an element in influencing the development of a nation’s foreign policy (Hu, 2013). Buckingham, et al. (2013) stated that the Panda represents a fascinating soft-power resource. The panda offers a softer animal symbol for China compared to those of its past – the red dragon- and it is dealing with the natural beauty of the country.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh) Zoo officials in Washington are hoping to get panda mom Mei Xiang pregnant—again. Smithsonian National Zoo officials say they performed two artificial inseminations Thursday on 18-year-old Mei Xiang. Officials say they were closely monitoring her for when to do the procedure. That's because female giant pandas are only able to become pregnant for 24 to 72 hours each year. Officials say Mei Xiang's estrogen levels peaked Wednesday, an indication she was able to become pregnant. Officials say Mei Xiang and the zoo's 19-year-old male Tian Tian failed to breed naturally.

  • National Zoo's Young Giant Panda to Go to China Per Agreement
    Dec. 4, 2009 National Zoo’s Young Giant Panda to Go to China per Agreement Tai Shan (tie-SHON), the first surviving giant panda cub born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, will be sent to the People’s Republic of China in early 2010, as stipulated in the agreement between the Zoo and the Chinese government. The exact date of his departure has not been determined due to the lengthy process of finalizing permits and preparing Tai Shan for the trip. Under the agreement, giant panda cubs born at the National Zoo belong to China and are to be sent to the Wolong's Beifengxia Base in Ya'an, Sichuan sometime after the cub turns two. In April 2007, shortly before his second birthday, China granted the National Zoo a two-year extension for Tai Shan to remain in Washington, D.C.; that extension expired in July but the Zoo was provided a second extension to January 2010. Tai Shan, whose name means “peaceful mountain” in Chinese, will be trained to enter and calmly remain in a specially designed crate for his flight to China. Logistics and details for the safe transport of the panda are being finalized. It is expected that Tai Shan will enter the breeding program in China, where he will contribute to species conservation. Tai Shan was born at 3:41 a.m. July 9, 2005, weighing only a few ounces at birth. The first cub for mother Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) and father Tian Tian (tee-YEN tee-YEN), he was conceived through artificial insemination March 11, 2005, in a procedure performed by National Zoo scientists and veterinarians.

Letters of Thank You from the Panda Center Suzanne, This week we went back to the Wolong Reserve and rescued a wild female panda. It appears that she was suffering from an alimentary canal (digestive tract) disorder and anemia and she is now being treated at the Bifengxia base. We expect her to make a full recovery in 1 to 2 weeks. When she has recovered, she will be released back into the Wolong Reserve. Today while I was on duty, Dr. Deng and I did an ultrasound exam and used the new machine, here are some pictures for you to share. Thank you very much! Dr. Wang Chengdong Dear Suzanne: Dr. Katherine Feng have brought anesthetic drugs (3 bottles of ketamine with 200mg/ml x 50cc, 20 bottles of ketamine with 100mg/ml x 10cc, 6 bottles of isoflurane x 250cc) to us yesterday. Thank you. Drs. Wang and Deng brought back the ultrasound machine and the powdered milk sealer and said they are very good. Thank you and Pandas Unlimited very much. All of us and the pandas here are well; about 10 female pandas who had given birth last year are now in estrus, so we still do the breeding works now.
