PANDA FAN XING CAN NOW BE SEEN!
Starting from Thursday, November 19, 2020, the baby panda Fan Xing has access to his inside and outside enclosure(围场), and he can now be seen by visitors. The panda was born on May 1, 2020, and remained inside the mother’s house behind the scenes for months.
Completely at home
Fan Xing is a giant panda with his own free will. He doesn’t follow his mother Wu Wen all day. Early in the morning, he went into the indoor enclosure and was peacefully sleeping there. After a while, he woke up and started to explore. However, he did not go outside yet.
The first visitors admiring Fan Xing
During the afternoon, members of Ouwehands Zoo were given the opportunity to be among the first to see the little giant panda. Whenever he wakes up, he explores his indoor accommodation, nibbles on bamboo and plays with his mother.
Multiple enclosures
The giant pandas have access to multiple enclosures, including behind the scenes. It could be the case that the giant pandas take a moment for themselves and are temporarily not visible to visitors. You can only visit Ouwehands Zoo with an online ticket during a reserved period to prevent the park from getting too busy.
Temporarily in the Netherlands
You can admire Fan Xing for about three and a half years longer. This is because he is only allowed to stay in the Netherlands for a maximum of four years before he goes to China, so he can contribute to the international breeding program for this unique endangered species.
