Intriguing Details of Panda Yue Liang
Nickname in the Panda World: Yue Liang has a habit of breaking bamboo stalks and bamboo shoots with her large head, earning her the affectionate nickname of “Vice Leader of the Iron Head Gang” by her zookeepers. The leader of the “Iron Head Gang” is another giant panda named Su Xing (苏星).
“Fishing for the Moon” Duo: Yue Liang teamed up with another giant panda named Lao Lao (捞捞) at the Yangzhou Zhuyuwan Scenic Area to form the “Fishing for the Moon” duo. Lao Lao is a panda adopted by Haidilao and eats very quickly, while Yue Liang occasionally expresses her dissatisfaction by slamming doors, smashing glass, or even playfully swatting at the zookeepers, which showcases her strong personality. When the zookeepers mentioned introducing Jin Hu (金虎) as a potential partner for her, Yue Liang widened her eyes in protest.
Daily Life: Yue Liang lives a very comfortable life at the Yangzhou Zhuyuwan Scenic Area, spending her days hanging from trees, destroying them, sleeping in various quirky ways, and eating to her heart’s content, all without a care in the world.
