Intriguing Details of Panda Qian Jin

Name Origin: When Qian Jin turned six months old, her keepers initiated an online naming campaign that garnered the attention and support of over a million netizens, resulting in more than 5,000 name submissions. After several rounds of screening, the name “Qian Jin” was chosen. This name symbolizes flourishing vegetation and signifies that this little panda can grow robustly and vibrantly, just like the nature surrounding her.

Little Rascal: As a cub, Qian Jin was full of energy and rarely stayed still. Her keepers often took her and her sibling outside to play, revealing her playful “little rascal” side as she would chase after the keepers, eagerly seeking cuddles and affection.

Daily Life: Qian Jin has long, slender limbs and a bold, masculine demeanor. Her favorite activity is climbing trees and methodically breaking off small branches to toss them down. She has excellent ball skills, able to dribble like a soccer player. Additionally, when she was young, she especially enjoyed play-fighting with Xue Bao (雪宝), with their matches often ending in a draw.
