  • Big day for Xiao Qi Ji! He's on the move!
    Here's what led up to the momentous event! Around 1:20pm the camera switched from Xiao Qi Ji (who was resting in the den doorway) to the outdoor cams. When it was switched back indoors, Qi Ji was alone in Room 3 on the floor ~ how he got here? We don't know! Then Mei Xiang comes back from lunch and finds him there ... no audio in the beginning, but you can tell by Qi Ji's body language that he barked ... at a reflection of himself or Mei's cold nose? Mei must have been satisfied with him being there, as she walked off and ate bamboo. After quite awhile, he's on the move, but he disappeared from Room 3's camera. Next thing you know you see his reflection in the window ... and he shows up on the den cam as he scoots along to the den.
    I'm pretty sure that he took some stumbley STEPS once he was in the den! And you'll see him mouthing bamboo as well as trying to play with the bars in the den. Watch out Mei Xiang!

    FUN FACT:
    According to the National Zological Society, Giant Pandas love the taste of heavy metals like iron and copper, but it is unknown exactly why. Notice our little boy licking the bars of the den.
    Anyway, so proud of him for reaching the "Can put myself to bed" milestone!!

    • @zizijunior398
      @zizijunior398 3 года назад +2

      Am no scientist, but since panda diet is mostly bamboo which doesn't contain minerals like iron (humans get iron supplements if deficient), then maybe they find it tasty if they stumble on some metals in their forays. I wonder if they suffer from toxicity of too much metals.

    Some of those are definitely.steps, not scoots. I think the fascination with the bars is because he's teething. Somebody needs to make panda size teething rings and nonslip baby panda shoes.
    It kind of reminded me of our first daughter learning to walk. She went everywhere if she could hold on but we were still surprised at how young she actually walked. She was just barely nine months old and later her baby sister walked at 8 1/2 months.
    It just happened that her Daddy and I were in the living room when she walked. She saw something she wanted and took off. She toddler about 8 feet before she realized she was in the middle of the room and sat down fussing. For a couple of weeks she walked loads but only holding on to something, mostly an empty diaper box not attached to anything. This went on until she wanted something that required both hands to pick up, dropped the diaper box, stood up and kept walking. The diaper box crutch only lasted a day or two after that.

So cute around 3:20 when he was stuck at the wall between room 3 and the den and eventually figured out that he could get around it rather than through. I hope you saw him and Mei together in the den about an hour ago (8:00pm EST) when he did some more walking. It seemed like she she was helping him - he would walk a few steps with her watching, and then she'd pull him back towards her so he could do it again.
