Intriguing Details of Panda Bo Ming Ming
Appearance: Bo Ming Ming stands tall with broad shoulders, giving him a powerful and majestic presence. Despite his imposing appearance, Bo Ming Ming has a shy and cautious personality. He is highly alert and tends to be reserved, often displaying a bit of shyness when interacting with humans.
Relocation: On August 7, 2017, Bo Ming Ming was born at the Shenshuping Base in Wolong. On July 18, 2023, Bo Ming Ming was transferred to the Hunan Yueyang China Giant Panda Park for a temporary exhibition.
Crush: At the Yueyang China Giant Panda Garden, Bo Ming Ming seems to have a crush on the neighboring princess, Xi Yue (喜悦). Every day, the first thing he does when he goes outside is squat by the bamboo wall, waiting eagerly for her to appear. He warmly greets her before returning to the center of his own enclosure to munch on bamboo shoots and play with his toys. If Xi Yue doesn’t show up, he even chooses to sleep by the wall. From time to time, he climbs trees or structures to carefully observe her movements, just like a little boy in the throes of a secret crush.
Unique Way of Climbing Down Trees: Unlike most pandas who climb down trees the usual way, Bo Ming Ming prefers to take an unconventional approach. Sometimes he slides down metal poles supporting the trees like a firefighter, and other times he grabs onto ropes tied to the trees, swinging down like Tarzan.
