Intriguing Details of Panda Lin Xi

Nickname Origin: Lin Xi has a round face, with a cute and sweet appearance. Her personality is gentle, shy, and alert, earning her the nickname “Sister Lin among pandas.” (Sister Lin is a female charater in the Dream of the Red Chamber, a traditional novel depicting the rise and fall of an influential family).

Good Appetite: When Lin Xi was at the Dujiangyan Panda Base, her appetite was particularly strong. Every time she was fed, she would eagerly rush to get her food. Even when she was playing in the trees, she would immediately come down as soon as she heard the keeper’s call. She was so eager that she would even snatch bamboo shoots from other pandas, Mao Mao (茅茅) and Bao Yuan (宝元).

Wild Training Experience: Lin Xi participated in wild training with her mother, Mei Xi, from birth. Initially, the plan was for Lin Xi to be released into the wild once she grew older. However, due to her mother Mei Xi falling ill, Lin Xi had to withdraw from the wild training program.

Clever and Resourceful: When Lin Xi finds the surrounding environment too noisy, she climbs up a tree to eat bamboo shoots in peace. She cleverly shields herself with thick tree leaves to block out the noise, creating a quiet space for herself to enjoy her meal undisturbed.
