Brown Giant Panda Qi Zai

Round head and round face and brown-and-white fur, Qi Zai is a very famous male panda because it is the only living brown panda in the world. On November 1, 2007, Qi Zai was found in the wild when he was only two months old and homeless. He was brought to Shanxi Provincial Rare Animal Rescue and Research Center and grow up there. In December of 2014, Qi Zai moved to Qinling Giant Panda Rewild Training Foping Center. It is the second winter Qi Zai spent in the Foping Center.

Qi Zai Is Very Energetic

Giant Pandas don’t like hot days. While in the winter especially snow days, pandas are very energetic. So is the Qi Zai. These days the center area has been snowing a lot. Qi Zai spend many hours playing on the snow, running, climbing tree. A great thing for Qi Zai is that the panda center is very large to run with hills and forest.

Qi Zai Is Eating Bamboo

Qi Zai now has grown up. He weights more than 100km, and has to eat more than 70km fresh bamboo each day. He is heath and happy. Let’s cheer for him.
