It is 8:30 . at the Chengdu Research Base. Lin Wei and the other panda keepers are preparing the milk for the baby pandas’
breakfast. At 9:00 ., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.
When the babies see the keepers, they run over with excitement and some of them even walk into their friends and fall over!
“They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.”
Lin Wei loves her job, but it is a difficult one.
Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years.
