Picture
Staff to "cover up"
The true identity of oneself as a human being
When in contact with pandas
Specially worn with a special panda suit
Their styling
There is a hint of weirdness in the reasonableness
There is a hint of naughtiness hidden in the steadiness
Many netizens have said after reading it
Hahahaha
This outfit looks very "scary"
Panda harm is not afraid I don't know
I was scared anyway
Weibo topics
#熊猫难道不害怕吗 #
It even rushed to the hot search at one point
Besides
There are also many netizens who are curious
I could tell at a glance that it was fake
Can't pandas see it?

Professor of the School of Life Sciences of Beijing Normal University
Vice Chairman of the Animal Behavior Branch of the Zoological Society of China
Liu Dingzhen, concurrently secretary general
Popularized a bit for everyone
Imprint behavior, also known as imprinting behavior
It is in animal behavior
A very typical phenomenon
Early adult birds such as geese and ducks
The first sight of a moving object at its shell
They will follow them as if they were their own biological parents
Liu Dingzhen said
Similar phenomenon
It is also found in mammals

Why wear panda costumes?
Staff wear panda costumes
It is to take care of the panda cubs
Avoid them because of imprint behavior
Dependence on humans
When released into the wild in the future
They will avoid humans instead of actively approaching
Researchers
There will also be a smell of feces and urine from giant pandas
Rub it on the panda suit together
Make the staff more "like" pandas

so
Did the panda suit achieve the desired effect?
Liu Dingzhen said
Individuals trained according to recent years
And the effect of the release
Panda suits do play a role
Individuals released into the wild are all about human activities
For example, the sound of speech produces a warning response
And exhibit avoidance behavior

Can the giant pandas tell the difference in the end
Is it a person or a panda who wears a panda costume?
Liu Dingzhen said
Researchers have made experimental discoveries
Identify panda motifs by giving adult pandas
Even if you change one ear
The position of one eye
It can all be clearly distinguished
As for whether the panda cubs can be distinguished
No one has done any research so far
