Intriguing Details of Panda Bing Cheng
Appearance: Bing Cheng has the classic black-and-white fur of a giant panda and a round, robust build. His face is round, with large, expressive eyes and small, rounded ears that add to his lovable appearance. His adorable, almost cartoon-like looks have earned him a reputation as one of the most photogenic pandas at the base.
Personality: Bing Cheng is known for his “cool” personality, standing apart from his more playful and active peers. Unlike other pandas that seek interaction and play, he prefers to spend his time quietly lounging in the sun on his bamboo chair, seemingly indifferent to the noise and activity around him. Even when other pandas come over to engage him, he often only gives them a glance, exuding a calm and slightly disdainful expression.
Elegant Behavior: Bing Cheng takes pride in his appearance and spends time each day grooming himself. He enjoys looking at his reflection in a small pool, adjusting his fur with his paws to ensure his handsome look remains flawless. When it’s time for meals, Bing Cheng waits patiently for his keepers’ call, and before heading over, he’ll stretch leisurely and make sure he looks presentable, only then strolling over to enjoy his food.
Breeding Duties: Bing Cheng’s mother, Wang Jia, and father, Yi Bao, are both wild giant pandas, and since they have very few offspring, Bing Cheng possesses a rare and valuable lineage. Starting at the age of six, he became active in the breeding program, quickly becoming the father of many panda cubs. This earned him the nicknames “National Groom” and “The Noble Young Master of the Base.”
