Qi Ji had his biscuits & boo breakfast by himself. After stuffing himself with food, he climbed up the rockwork & flopped into a slumber. Caught Papa Tian finishing up his sugarcane snack & flop into a slumber as well. Mei came in the playroom to hunt for biscuits around 10, waking sleepyhead as she flipped the lifesaver feeder. She munched boo as he sniffed & inspected the glass for a while, before the door to patio opened. They hunted for more biscuits once outside, and our curious cub dislodged the feeder placed strategically in the nook of the forked tree.
Qi Ji pushed Mei over on the patio with his body weight to instigate. She let him crawl on her and breakdance next to her, then cuddled him while he nibbled on her. She went inside and he rolled on his head in front of her while she ate. Back outside, Mei was fully engaged in a fun & happy play bout with Qi Ji. She let him think he had the upper hand then used her aikido abilities to roll her silly cub down the hill under the hammock. An animated action sequence followed, with boxing and scary bear moves and LOTS of rolling! She ran off after a time, he scampered around the loggie structure & chased her. Then the whole family settled down to enjoy fruity pops.

Thank you for watching & joining me on this journey in the life of our Little Miracle panda! 🤗🥰 I'm grateful for the support of my viewers & the Smithsonian National Zoo for their dedication to panda conservation. This video was recorded in person at Smithsonian's National Zoo by me with my Canon Vixia HF G60 camcorder on December 18th.
