Wei Zi Snow Rolling Video

Because this is a self-protection mechanism for wild giant pandas to resist the cold, when it is very cold in winter, pandas like to roll in fresh horse manure, and every part of their bodies are covered with horse manure, which can make them less cold in the future, which is also a special behavior inspired by low temperature.

Stunned Panda In our hearts, the panda has always been a chubby and lovely national treasure image, which is not only extremely popular among ordinary people, but also plays a very important role in the diplomacy of the world and even big countries. Panda's black and white fur is clean and thick, which should be able to keep out the cold completely, but some pandas in the wild have made us? Disappointed? Things. Because some people found the panda rolling in horse manure in the snow until it was covered with feces, I didn't expect a panda who looks like MengMeng and loves cleanliness to be so untidy, which surprised many people and didn't fit its national treasure image at all.

Pandas roll horse manure in 2007, when the research team of Chinese Academy of Sciences visited Foping Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province, they accidentally saw a wild panda rolling in horse manure and deliberately covering themselves with manure. At first, the expedition thought it was just a strange behavior of individual pandas, but soon they saw several other pandas doing the same thing one after another, which made them no longer curious and further doubted whether all wild pandas in Qinling had this behavior. Special hobbies? .

Camera forensics In order to confirm this conjecture, the expedition chose a place with more horse manure and set up several infrared cameras. A year after filming, the expedition retrieved the video. In the process of watching the video, they saw the panda roll horse manure for 38 times, and each time a different panda came, which showed that this situation was common in panda groups. They rolled horse manure in four specific steps until they were covered with horse manure.
