html On July 17, Shanghai Wildlife Park celebrated the birthday of a young beauty. It is the giant panda "Qiqi" who is 6 years old.

How can a birthday in the summer be complete without iced cake? The breeder prepared a three-layer vegetable and fruit ice cake early in the morning - the top layer is iced watermelon slices, the white layer in the middle is milk powder, and the bottom layer is green and cucumber juice.

Worried that "Qiqi" would not be enough to eat, the breeder also prepared a variety of beautiful and delicious props: carrot skewers, dragon fruit balls, green grape bear ice, fresh bamboo shoots, and the number "6" frozen with carrot juice. Let "Qiqi" get rid of the heat.

At the birthday party, the breeder even made a bamboo "princess chair" for "Qiqi" ingeniously. However, "Qiqi" is a "foodie" after all. At the birthday party, it didn't hesitate at all and pounced directly on the fruit and vegetable ice cream. The fresh bamboo shoots on the cake sat down and wolfed down the cake, which made the onlookers burst into laughter.

"Qiqi" gnawed on bamboo shoots.

I am curious whether there are bamboo shoots hidden in this ice cake.

So happy!

"Qiqi" has a big background. He was born at 10:56 on July 17, 2018. He is the 14th child of the giant panda "Princess".

"Princess" was born on September 11, 1998. She is the first giant panda cub successfully raised to life by artificial breeding at the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center. When "Qiqi" was born, "Princess" was already 20 years old and considered an advanced maternal age.

Many of the brothers and sisters of "Qiqi" and their descendants have become peace envoys on behalf of China, traveling to Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea and other countries to spread the seeds of friendship.

It seems that the "Princess" family has a sociable pedigree. The young "Qiqi" was once the first giant panda virtual host to be featured in CCTV's "Singing the Motherland" column. With her sweet appearance and first-class "eloquence", she surrounded Countless fans.

According to the breeder, "Qiqi" only weighed 165 grams when he was born, and now weighs more than 90 kilograms. It vividly interprets the "eighteen changes of a female": when she was a child, she had a slender figure, a sharp mouth, and timidity. Now she has a round head, big and bright eyes, and is lively and active. She has been unanimously praised by the breeders who have read countless bears. For "Little Beautiful Bear". Another interesting thing about

is the name "Qiqi". In fact, "Qiqi" didn't have a name until he was 10 months old. On May 17, 2019, Shanghai Wildlife Park held a public call for names for it, and finally selected 10 names from more than 3,000 names submitted by tourists at home and abroad: Xie Ni, Tianxin, Xi Xi, Ke Ke, Qiao Qiao, July , Dudu, Xiaoxiao, Qiqi, and Qiqi. After voting by netizens and a comprehensive evaluation by the Shanghai Wildlife Park and the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center, "Qiqi" was finally chosen.

It is worth mentioning that "Qiqi" appeared at the birthday party and broke some online messages.

In March last year, a piece of news that said "A patient in the hospital called a panda was a real panda" became a hot search topic. "Qiqi" was rushed to the South Branch of Shanghai Renji Hospital for examination due to intestinal obstruction. The doctor at the hospital shared the news that "Qiqi" came to the hospital to take pictures. He said that when he first saw the name "Panda" written in the medical record, he thought it was just "Panda". Coincidentally, I didn’t expect that it was a real panda who came to film.

According to the Shanghai Wildlife Park, on the night of February 24, 2023, the keepers discovered that "Qiqi" had abnormal behaviors such as less activity, more rest, and poor appetite; on February 26, he was initially diagnosed with intestinal obstruction, and took infusions and intestinal lubrication. and other measures; on February 27, "Qiqi" was sent to Shanghai Renji Hospital for chest and abdominal CT examination, and the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction was confirmed; on the afternoon of March 1, "Qiqi" was operated on.

Intestinal disease is a common disease in giant pandas. If the disease is delayed, it will be more dangerous for giant pandas. Fortunately, an expert team composed of veterinarians and breeding experts from the China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center, gastrointestinal surgery experts from Shanghai Renji Hospital, and the Shanghai Wildlife Park veterinary team successfully removed the obstruction of "Qiqi" after nearly two hours of surgery. Bamboo removal. After the operation, the expert team formulated a detailed follow-up treatment and care plan for "Qiqi".

However, for reasons such as protecting "Qiqi" and preventing it from being disturbed, the park did not disclose the detailed follow-up situation after "Qiqi"'s surgery. There began to appear on the Internet that "Qiqi"'s surgery was not successful and that she had died. Wait for groundless speculation. "Qiqi"'s lively performance at the 6th birthday party effectively shattered the online rumors.
