On April 29, 2024, at 5 a.m., giant pandas Jin Xi and Zhu Yu, the would-be couple of childhood sweethearts, embarked on a journey to the Madrid Zoo in Spain.
This is the majority of a giant panda's life.
Brother Xizi, sister of Zhuyu, Xiong Sheng's life is smooth!
The purpose of their trip is to take over from the Huazui family and continue to spread the friendly image of Chinese giant pandas in Spain.
Giant panda Jin Xi, born on September 1, 2020, her mother is giant panda Miao Miao, and her father is Tietouying. The sibling sister is Jin Shuang.
Giant panda Zhu Yu, born on October 25, 2020, her mother is a giant panda Qinghe, her grandmother is Qingqing, and her father is Xionghama who came back from Japan. The brother of the sibling is Chongyang.
The two little ones grew up together since childhood, and they can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
Although the contract clearly states a period of 10 years, it is customary to renew after this 10 years. This means that the two baby pandas, who are less than four years old, will spend most of their lives in a foreign country.
The father who grew up with them since he was a child is full of reluctance and concern.
I watched the video several times, trying to calm my complicated feelings in this way.
In order to let the two babies feel the warmth of home during the journey, the Chengdu base has carefully prepared more than a dozen boxes of fruits, nests, bamboo and bamboo leaves.
During the 12-hour journey, this time they were accompanied by their parents to ensure that they were well fed during the flight.
Previously, the giant panda Bing Xing Hua Zui family lived at the Madrid Zoo in Spain, and the couple began living in Spain on September 8, 2007.
The couple lived in Spain for 17 years and had five children. Among them, "Dede", "Bao" and "Xingbao" all returned to China on time.
On March 1, 2024, the 22-year-old father bear "Bingxing", the 19-year-old mother bear "Flower Mouth", with 3 children, Zhu Lina and twin brothers and friends and Jiujiu returned to China together.
Now, the new couple-to-be has arrived in Spain without any problems. Get off the plane
On the way to the zoo
Zoo outfield
The infield basically hasn't changed either, there have been some changes in the outfield, something has been changed.
Now, the two babies have arrived, and I hope that the Chinese around Madrid, Spain, can go to see our babies more
In general, the panda pavilion in Madrid Zoo in Spain is not large, but it is still very spacious to live with a small couple, and if it goes well, there will be a baby soon.
When I thought that Miao Miao was going to be a grandmother, I suddenly felt that time passed so fast!
I only hope that Jin Xi and Zhu Yu can adapt to the new venue as soon as possible, and the new bamboo can live a peaceful and happy life in Spain.
