Life Experience of Panda Tian Bao
Tree Climbing Enthusiast: Tian Bao loved climbing trees when he was younger, especially enjoying the challenge of thin branches. He didn’t have a clear sense of his own weight, which made his mother, Yao Man, worry a lot. There was a time when Yao Man would stay underneath the tree and catch him if he climbed too high, gently bringing him back down.
Life at Bifengxia: In 2022, Tian Bao moved to Bifengxia. Due to limited space, he currently lives in a non-exhibit area next to Tian Tian (甜甜), who returned from the UK. Every day, Tian Bao enjoys strolling and climbing trees, often communicating with Tian Tian.
