First, how to become a panda keeper

Known as China's national treasure, people all over the world dream of owning one! However, because the law clearly stipulates that individuals are not allowed to raise giant pandas without authorization, we can only become keepers in the zoo if we want to take care of giant pandas at close range. There are mainly the following ways:

1. Become a panda keeper (contract worker). Contract work is like looking for a job. You can go to official website, the Giant Panda Protection Center, or the official recruitment website to check the job introduction and submit your resume. Job description: Responsible for the daily feeding and management of giant pandas. Assist the public education of giant pandas. Other work assigned by the leaders.

2. Become a panda science volunteer (long-term). Some giant panda protection bases have long-term volunteer recruitment. Details can be found in official website, a major panda protection base. Volunteer applicants should be China citizens aged 65,438+04 (minors aged 65,438+04 to 65,438+08 need the written consent of their guardians) (foreign language proficiency is preferred). Applicants must pass the primary election before they can become volunteer students, then they can participate in formal training and take up their posts after passing the examination.

3. Short-term volunteers. At present, many panda protection bases have begun to cooperate with schools or some institutions to launch short-term panda protection experience projects, so that more people can contact and experience the specific work of panda protection. Compared with the recruitment requirements of contract workers and long-term volunteers, short-term volunteers have no academic requirements, 18 years old or older, and can participate through routine health examination.

Second, the precautions for raising pandas

1. An adult giant panda weighing 100 kg eats 12- 16 hours a day in spring, eating about 10- 18 kg of bamboo leaves and stems, or 30-38 kg. Such a huge food intake is definitely beyond the range of the giant panda in the base, so the breeder needs to go up the mountain every day and cut down all kinds of fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots according to each rolling taste and preference. The angle, strength and posture of cutting are very particular, not simple manual work.

2. One of the wonders of giant pandas is that they take bamboo as their staple food, but they don't have the stomach and cecum that herbivores should have, and there are no bacteria or ciliates used to ferment cellulose into absorbable nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, so the only way to get the required nutrition is to eat it quickly, and they also excrete 10 kilograms of feces while eating dozens of kilograms of food every day. Only in this way can we maintain metabolic balance. In this way, you will know what another big task of the breeder is, and that is to clean up the Baba and food residue of the rolling children! It is really not easy to maintain a good environment.

These are some little knowledge points about giant panda breeders. If you have professional skills and like giant pandas, it is really a good choice to become a giant panda keeper!
