Yaya, a giant panda living in the United States, died, and Lele was still abused in Memphis Zoo.
On February 3rd, Memphis Zoo in the United States issued a "Lele" death statement. It's very sad. The health status of the only remaining giant panda in the United States, Yaya, is not optimistic.
Yaya and Lele were sent to Memphis Zoo, Tennessee, USA in 23. Yaya, a female and a male, miscarried at the age of 6. The staff of Memphis Zoo found that the index of luteal hormone in the panda was low. In 213, the ten-year lease period expired, and the US proposed to continue the group for another ten years. On December 21, 222, the US decided to return it.
But in 221, netizens found that Yaya and Lele in Memphis Zoo were emaciated and bony, and found that the environment of the venue was bad, and there was no fresh bamboo to eat, which made their health worrying. However, the head of the American zoo believes that Yaya and Lele have been physically assessed and there are no other health problems such as malnutrition. However, in February 223, Lele died unfortunately, and Ya was as thin as a bone. Everyone expressed concern about Ya Ya and called for her return to China as soon as possible.
Morphological characteristics of giant pandas:
Giant pandas are fat and bear-like, with a round head and a short tail, with a length of 1.2-1.8m and a length of 1-12cm. The weight is 8-12 kg, and the maximum weight can reach 18 kg. The pandas raised are slightly heavier, and the males are generally slightly larger than females. The head and body are black and white, but black is not pure black, and white is not pure white, but brown in black and yellow in white.
The individuals in Qinling area are large, with rough body hair and slightly brown belly hair. Minshan (especially Qingchuan Pingwu) is smaller, with thinner body hair and less brown belly hair, but Liangshan is not smaller.
The black-and-white appearance is conducive to hiding in dense forest trees and snow-covered ground and not being easily discovered by natural enemies. Relatively sharp claws and powerful front and rear limbs are beneficial for giant pandas to climb tall trees quickly.
The skin of giant pandas is thick, and the thickest part can reach 1mm. The skin thickness of different parts of the body is also different. The back of the body is thicker than the ventral side, and the outer side is thicker than the inner side. The average thickness of the skin is about 5 mm, and it is white, elastic and tough.
