Skin Condition

Now/Before

Two-year-old giant panda YuAi has been suffering from fur loss and skin disease that’s causing her black eye circles to turn white for four months now. Given that several of the other pandas at the same zoo have exhibited similar symptoms, it is possible the high humidity of Chongqing could have exacerbated it. Other possible reasons cited are diet, fungus or parasites. We hope Chongqing zoo will move her to one of the newer enclosures with humidity control that have been reported to help with similar conditions in pandas, given that

  1. she is the top attraction at the zoo and
  2. said enclosures were donated by her sponsor Midea for her and her brother YuKe

Where to “Adopt a Panda”?

Hi all! I am looking to symbolically adopt a panda as a Christmas gift and was wondering if anyone had advice on where to do this through, preferably a smaller or more local sanctuary where I know my donation is going directly to. I looked into WWF, but also was hoping to get “assigned” to an actual named panda and maybe even get a few tracking updates for a year or so. Thanks!

Pyry ("Snowstorm" or Hua Bao) plays in the snow at Finland's Ähtäri Zoo. Both Pyry and Lumi ("Snow" or Jin Bao Bao) will be returned to China more than eight years ahead of the date they were set to go back due to raising cost of keeping them.
