Life Experience of Panda Ni Ke
Birth: Ni Ke’s story began on July 20, 2017, when his mother, Ni Ni, gave birth to a set of fraternal twins. A few weeks before the birth, Ni Ni displayed reduced appetite, eating only small amounts of bamboo shoots and leaving most of her usual treats untouched. On the morning of July 20, she delivered Ni Ke, the elder of the twins, at 5:48 AM, weighing 203 grams. His sister Ni Na was born shortly afterward at 6:33 AM, weighing 91 grams. The twins became the fifth pair of fraternal twins in the renowned “Olympic” panda family.
Juvenile Period: Growing up with his twin sister at the Chengdu Panda Base, Ni Ke’s playful nature became evident early on. His most notable feature is his left front paw, marked with white fur, like wearing a white fluffy slipper. He liked to lie in the ditch, making it rare to catch a full view of him.
