幕後貓熊人 A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Birth of the Giant Panda Baby

「圓仔」出生後，動物保育員就更人仰馬翻了，同時要照顧「圓圓」和「圓仔」，經常躺在地板或靠牆一坐瞬間進入夢鄉，現在訪問工作人員的甘苦談，得到的回答都是「我想睡覺」，雖然沒有黑眼圈，所有的幕後工作人員都是真正的貓熊人。當然最慶倖的是「圓圓」能即時加入育幼的工作行列，牠可是育幼群中的主力，看著愈來愈得心應手的「淡定媽」，大家連日來的假設問題（「圓圓」會帶仔嗎﹖奶水夠嗎﹖萬一再受傷呢﹖）都迎刃而解。
On July 6th 20:05, the giant panda baby is finally here! The keepers who have been looking forward to this day were very eager and started preparations meticulously. The keepers were relieved to see Yuan Yuan which managed to care for her baby right after her first delivery. The keepers, veterinarians and two Giant Panda experts from China, started 24 hour-monitor on Yuan Yuan's nursing. Unfortunately, the baby was found to have a wound at the groin area. Therefore, the keepers started to hand-feed the baby to avoid infection of the wound. The keepers routinely feed, clean and observe the baby. Besides that, they also have to stimulate the baby to defecate regularly as she cannot defecate on her own yet.
The zoo also invited a giant panda nursering expert from China, to provide professional support. He immediately started working tirelessly soon after arrival. Yuan Yuan's postnatal care was performed carefully. The curator cleaned her with a towel and calmed her down. Besides that, the zoo also invited a giant panda breeding expert from China, to provide professional advice in postnatal care and milking techniques. The keepers put a lot of efforts in caring for both mother and baby. A lot of experiments were also carried out in order to smoothen the reunion. The keepers observed the reunion from a distance to prevent interruption. All personnel have a role to play. The panda experts listened closely for the baby's suckling sounds whereas the veterinarians evaluated Yuan Yuan's postnatal body condition. The keepers helped hand feed Yuan Yuan as she was too exhausted after taking care of the baby. Observations were done 24 hours by the keepers.
Now, the baby is healthy and strong. We sincerely thank those who gave us a hand and also to those loyal fans out there.
