The brown giant panda "Seven Cubs", which was abandoned at birth, why does the 13-year-old have no offspring?

When it comes to giant pandas, in people's cognition, they all think that this is a "black and white" animal, but in fact, in nature, there is a more rare "brown giant panda", which mainly inhabits the core mountains of Qinling Mountains, the most famous of which is the world's first brown giant panda "Qizai" that is artificially raised.

Speaking of which, the experience of "Seven Boys" is still very bumpy, because it was originally in the wild, a child born by a wild giant panda, but I don't know what the reason is, "Seven Boys" was abandoned by their parents shortly after birth, if it is not accidentally discovered by the villagers and reported to the relevant departments, then the "Seven Boys" will have died long ago.

So, how exactly was the giant panda "Seven Cubs" discovered?

This needs to start in 2009. We all know that the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi today are the main habitat of giant pandas, and villagers in surrounding villages will occasionally see wild giant pandas.

At that time, a villager who lived near the Paifanggou of the SanguanMiao Temple in Qinling, on the way home in the evening, suddenly found that there seemed to be a small animal hiding there in the grass on the side of the road.

Bold enough to look closer, it turned out to be a white-brown haired animal cub, because it was different from the giant panda cub that people remembered, so the villager thought that what he saw was the cub of a brown bear.

Although he was also worried about whether there would be brown bears around, the villager also called the local wildlife department, and soon, a staff member arrived at the scene, and after identification, it was found that this was an extremely rare brown giant panda cub.

After searching around and waiting in place for a long time, no adult panda figure was found, so the staff speculated that this brown giant panda cub was most likely abandoned, and this situation is actually more common in giant pandas, because if the female giant panda gives birth to 2 cubs, the cub that often looks relatively weak will be abandoned.

For example, in 2006, the giant panda Treasure of Chengdu Breeding Base, just after giving birth to two cubs, discarded one of them, fortunately not in the wild, in time by the base staff rescue, the poor cub into the incubator.

Therefore, some staff speculated that perhaps because this cub's brown-white hair would be abandoned shortly after birth, and after being brought back to the Qinling Giant Panda Base, after a physical examination, it also proved the staff's speculation, because the health of this giant panda cub was very unsatisfactory, it looked like it was dying, if it was found a few days later, then it would be impossible to survive.

The staff will be abandoned brown giant panda, named "Seven Boys", after more than 10 days of rescue, "Seven Boys" has finally gradually become healthy, and there is a female giant panda in the base, adopted "Seven Boys", and has been feeding "Seven Boys" until about 1 year old, at this time, "Seven Boys" left the adoptive mother and began to live with other small partners.

However, because "Seven Boys" looks much weaker than bears of the same age, so in the days of "Kindergarten", "Seven Boys" have also been bullied by their companions many times, for example, the basin milk that originally belonged to "Seven Boys" is often snatched away and drunk by other bears, but "Seven Boys" still plays with his friends and looks very well-behaved. Today, "Seven Boys" is 13 years old, so what is the current situation of "Seven Boys"?

The 13-year-old brown panda "Seven Boys" has been a father many times, but has no offspring

You know, brown giant pandas are very rare, so as the only brown giant panda that is captive by humans, in 2017, when "Seven Boys" was 9 years old, it was also sent to another research center, and since 2018, it has been breeding offspring.

At that time, many staff members were very much looking forward to the fact that "Qizai" could give birth to "brown dumplings" with the same skin color as themselves, but unfortunately, until today, "Qizai", who had talked about love 4 times, had disappointed his hopes again and again, and "liked to be a father" many times, but did not have his own offspring.

For example, in October last year, many media reported that "Qizai" may be a father, because at that time, the Giant Panda Research Center in Qinling had a total of 5 bears born, including the children born by "Qizai" girlfriend "An An".

However, unfortunately, through DNA identification, these 5 bears are not related to "Seven Boys", the children born by "An An" are mated with "An An" at the same time with "Seven Boys", and the children of the giant panda "Erlang", I have to say that "Seven Boys" have been "happy to be a father" many times, which is really a very unlucky thing.

Of course, because the "seven cubs" will participate in the breeding plan in the future, it is also possible that in the future, the "seven cubs" will really usher in their own offspring, but is it the "brown bear"? Then wait and see!
