英伦广角 Issue 113 大熊猫换新家

Three giant pandas have settled into their new home at Yunnan Zoo in Kunming, after being evacuated¹ from southwest China's quake-ravaged Sichuan province. The 2-year-old females are set to remain at the base for a period of around 2 years, where they will be under close medical supervision², and fed a special diet of bamboo, fruits and vegetables.
 
Authorities say 61 pandas from the Sichuan Breeding Base either have or will soon be moved to other Chinese wildlife parks. Wildlife parks, a further eight pandas that were given to Beijing as part of the city's Olympic celebrations have already become accustomed to their new homes after being moved to the zoo last month. The group were even receiving daily mandarin³ lessons after struggling at first to follow commands from their new handlers. Four other pandas arrived at the Fuzhou Panda Research center on Tuesday where they were weighed and then sanitized. And 6 more arrived in Yaan Sichuan on Wednesday, one of which is pregnant; they will reside there for 2 or 3 years before returning back to their home in nearby Wolong.
