Giant panda Fu Bao arrived at Chengdu on Wednesday night from South Korea, with large screens in Chengdu, Chongqing, and Beijing lit up to welcome her home. The panda is in good health and will be subject to a month-long quarantine (隔离) period until it meets the public again.

In order to welcome Fu Bao back home, the Shenshuping giant panda base under the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda (CCRCGP) started preparations early. Currently, the center has prepared an enclosure, built multiple work teams, and carefully established an animal care team including two experienced keepers. A special seasonal “menu” including fresh bamboo shoots and arrow bamboo shoots has also been specially prepared.

In order to help Fu Bao re-adapt to life in her hometown Sichuan, during the one-month quarantine period, two Chinese keepers will remain on call. They will also help the panda surmount a “language barrier” after returning to China — learning to understand Chinese, especially Sichuan dialect. The CCRCGP will also officially assign a chief keeper for Fu Bao based on her preferences towards the two current keepers.

The mating (交配) season for giant pandas mainly takes place during spring, and currently, Fu Bao has not shown any signs of mating behavior. Experts believe that Fu Bao will not be involved in breeding research this year. Many suggest that the “mating” of Fu Bao may have to wait until the following year or the year after. As for when Fu Bao can be seen by the Sichuan public, expert Zeng Wen from the center said that it is difficult to estimate at the moment. Based on past experiences, the adaptation period for returning giant pandas can range from 1-2 months to 7-8 months, or even longer.

Born in July 2020, Fu Bao is the first giant panda born in South Korea and a successful example of overseas breeding through online guidance for natural conception by experts at the giant panda center. Since the 1990s, China has collaborated on giant panda conservation with 26 institutions in 20 countries. There are currently 49 giant pandas abroad.
