  • Day 144 #PandaStory: Xiao Qi Ji wandered out of the den Monday afternoon while Mei Xiang was sleeping on top of room 3's rockwork...
    This has to be one of my most favorite videos to date. Our Qi Ji, not uttering a peep, leaves the den and is out of sight for a bit during which Mei Xiang becomes aware of where he is, but she stays put. He meanders beneath where she's lounging on the rocks, trying to figure out how to get to her. Mei bleats, moves to the playpen, and Qi Ji has to navigate the stalks of bamboo to try to get to Mei Xiang as she bleats her encouragement. Persistent, and precious (those legs!), once in Mei's arms, they play a bit before he nurses. After negotiating the rockwork's ledge, he rather clumsily tumbles off and he returns to the den.
    Note from Doxie: I respectively ask that you do not post comments disparaging the Smithsonian's National Zoo's treatment of their Giant Pandas, or Mei Xiang's parenting of Xiao Qi Ji, or any comparisons to other Zoos. Also, a reminder that I am not employed by or affiliated with the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this a place of positivity, celebration and joy!

    Mei is in the playpen waiting for her little guy, but he can’t get past the bamboo until mom starts eating it. That’s hilarious! Mom has the patience of a saint. Then when mom starts eating bamboo I chuckled how he imitated her. 🐼💖

    My heart is soooooo happy watching these two. They actually bring tears to my eyes. He was so quiet coming out of the den and finding Mei. She is such a good Mom. She found her son quickly and bleated so sweetly for him to come to her. They r so precious. He wasn't going to let anything stop him from getting to Mama. He is very deliberate in his climbing. His movements look more mature now. Their play is just so heartwarming. They truly live each other and their wrestling matches. He is a wiggle worm for sure. I will never forget their nursing scenes. Jusy pure love and compassion. The human race and especially the US should be required to watch all of this live and patience and learning. I don't think I could live these two pandas more and then they do something and I fall in love all over again. Thank u from the bottom of my heart Doxie Mom. A friend of mine had to put his dog down today. It is a very sad day. U have no idea how much this helped him and me. God bless.

      Pandas eat bamboo because they were "out-carnivored" probably thousands of years ago. I agree with you; humans can learn from our four-legged fur beings 🐼❤.

    She showed him where to come and then let him try to get up on his own. At the 5:16 mark, it looked like she may have been trying to encourage him with her right paw but I don't know if that was the case or bamboo had something to do with it. This is good. Give him a clue, let him try to work it out, encourage him, and hug him afterwards. @ 12:40, seeing little mite go after bamboo while Mei is outside eating. Cute.
