[@lizaallmon2405]

Bei Bei was adorable when he was young. Walking at 4 months , while her sister was 6 mos. So cute!

[@Miumiu0404]

[@BlessAllKC]

Early childhood education helps the brain development of all mammals - Bei Bei has heartily proven that!! e.g. His mommy Mei Xiang took him up & down the mountain structure at an age way before she did with his earlier siblings, & he learned to climb & take difficult leaps on that mountain much sooner than they did !! Thank you very much for sharing this video!

[@tamecad504]

I want one💗

I want to marry Bei Bei when he grows up

[@camper1749]

Bayblades pretty cute.

[@prickly_procyonids]

So many animal experts in the comments here, Jesus... The zoo isn't doing anything wrong. The pandas here are never going to be released into the wild, which is why they're socialized with humans- Why would a zoo want wild, unfriendly pandas which are more likely to get stressed when they can let the pandas learn their zookeeper's are friends? These pandas also aren't being trained to do "tricks" like people are whining about. These are actually vitally important to their health, as stated in the video. Training a panda to give his paw through the fence allows for blood to be drawn. Standing, putting paws on the fence, etc. is for physical exams. When you train a zoo animal to do these things, it allows the veterinarian to give a physical exam without tranquilizing or putting the animal under anesthesia, which are dangerous. The China program is great, but it isn't better. They're both great. The National Zoo pandas will never be released into the wild therefore the methods of husbandry are different! The National Zoo produces panda cubs with selective breeding for the best, strongest genetics. These cubs will he sent to China for THEIR breeding program, and then their cubs will he released. :)

[@denisegarcialemos8525]

Será que não estão querendo humanizar exageradamente esses animais? Parece um distanciamento do propósito de salvar da extinção esses lindos animais! Acho que eles precisam muito mais de carinho e respeito nas suas naturais condições. 🐼🐼🐼🤔🤔🤔💗🌼💗🌼

[@jeofferyj1441]

National Zoo, Why don't you post few clips showing how you treated this little cub after you done cashing his cuteness? Heartless cruel management. Shame on you

[@lindasturm699]

Darling, please educate yourself on the facts. You have no idea what you are talking about.

[@kkqueenz800]

do you have proof?

[@dismaldice3045]

I thought Pandas didn't do anything but eat, sleep, and sit.

[@BlessAllKC]

Actually , as adults, they spend most of their time foraging, wandering around & exploring their forest environments, & leaving scent marks to signify their presence to seek out the best possible mate!!!

[@nipungrover7058]

I feel bad they should be released in the wild. That's how nature is, we shouldn't mess with it. China raises pandas the better way and releases them in the wild. These adorable creatures need to live in their natural habitat.

[@shirleywang8994]

the Chinese name for Tian Tian is wrong. should be 天天。

[@exo-geno2135]

Shirley Wang it in English though

[@helencui7960]

Is it? Because tian is the same pinyin for 天 and 添. The translation they use is also for 添.

[@lorainely3287]

天 means sky, and the translation said "more and more" so 添添 is correct.

[@crittert7828]

Will the pandas fly or go by boat to China? 🎈

[@powderwigwoodenteethmf5037]

Can they do kung fu?

[@風輕雲淡-h9d]

I can not understand why this Smithsonian national zoo likes to give ice cube for a old mother giant panda Mei Xiang who needs breast milk to as snack. How a old-blooded behavior but they have done several times in these 64 days.

[@rendyandrian7149]

Pandas still use chinese name although they live in a zoo outside China.

[@inkbold8511]

Rendy Andrian because they all belonged to china even for those born abroad. Their parents are all on a loan, zoo pay them couple million in rental fees per year to keep them.

[@mikemonroe5191]

it would suck taking a betting from momma p. but I hear gorilas yonik the genes of theirs. f I miss the clip.

[@bleachy4947]

Take a good look at them cause they won't be around very long.

[@sebastianbenz6829]

How do you know that? The informative video, "Raising Cute Pandas, It's Complicated," states that the pandas survival rating has gone up to 90%. As far as information goes the pandas are perfectly fine, if we properly care for them enough for them to finally live on their own without ANY human contact.

[@bleachy4947]

Their habitats are rapidly be destroyed, leading to a decline in wild pandas and it is well know that it is extremely difficult to get pandas to mate and have children in captivity. I like pandas as much as the next guy but it's not looking good.

[@sebastianbenz6829]

+Icy12 Oh I get it now, yeah I do hope they survive.

[@TeamSapphireEGGaming]

China treats pandas better it is more natural

[@teamwangjacksonwang292]

lol They treat them better than their own ppl

[@kkqueenz800]

the only diff, is that they wear weirdass, creepy panda costumes and spray panda urine all over themselves ,lol.

[@hgam12]

The cubs are going to be sent to china tho. The older ones are going to spend their lives in captivity and the zoo will lovingly spoil them.

[@joelleyva5789]

I low key feel that they are doing it all wrong

[@teamwangjacksonwang292]

How they gonna give him a Chinese name but speak English to him??

[@SAMMIsLIFE]

Smh,china does it better,pandas dont need to be trained..they should be released into the wild,they dont belong in zoos.

[@OutlawKING111]

They do because they are endangered. Many pandas who have been released into the wild have died.

[@yannamas2717]

You didn't finish the video?

[@Harurukaa]

They cannot be released into the wild because they have been raised in captivity, if they are released they will die.

[@jonathanzamora7855]

Dakyus Dark Elf actually the Chinese pandas that a raised in captivity at their center are trained to be in the wilderness and to be non dependent on humans, so their survival rate after being released is much higher

[@flufflepuffle]

Dakyus Dark Elf The Chinese program actually goes to great lengths to keep the pandas that they raise from getting accustomed to humans, and they do special training to teach pandas to forage and to recognise predators. They are he first to succeed in bringing up pandas that can make it in the wild.

[@caitbri-v1p]

to menphis zoo: you killed lele, an innocent animal. how disgusting is that? lele was sick and starving !!! !!! please give enough and nice food to yaya as we are watching live everyday !!!

[@seansundance9017]

Pandas are so lazy, just eating all the time, they don't even want to have sex, no wonder, they were almost extinct. Living toys

[@CH-sx1bq]

What is the problem with this zoo. Panda didn't need training, unless you want him to do some funny shows to help the zoo earn money. don't treat it as a circus team A lot of Western animal trainers, always think this is worth it or not worth. If they find out he is not worth it then they will look for others worth They can't just like the Korean zoo keeper. Train by love only

[@skylee274]

panda is smart, because they are lazy like humanbeing

[@333.senpaimamiii]

“Train them” lol. Train them for what? To be a dog? Smh. Take lessons from the Chinese, America.

[@Swirlss321]

Are you dumb? Pandas wont survive on their own in the wild they are some of the laziest animals on the Earth! Thats why they need assistance. Educate yourself before you make a statement.

[@arktheman3391]

A you probably wouldn’t have anything if it wasn’t America and why is it America’s fault

[@hgam12]

They're only being trained for medical reasons. It will make it easier for their medical exams and when they see the vet
