Katyusha – my favorite Moscow Zoo and the first panda born in Russia, will turn one year and eight months old on April 24. Her mother, Dindin, has decided that Katyusha is old enough to live on her own.
In the wild, bamboo bears take care of their cubs and feed them for up to one and a half to two years. Dinding was very sensitive to her daughter – she fed her milk, taught her caution, instilled all the necessary skills – for example, the ability to climb and group when falling. Then she taught Katyusha to eat bamboo, and at six months the little panda tried carrots. Now the cub’s diet includes everything an adult needs and everything necessary for full growth and development. Katyusha eats bamboo, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples and panda cakes – special steamed bread.
“Now Dindin has decided that her cub has grown up and is ready to live separately. This moment comes suddenly and quickly for animals. One day, the female began to show the first signs of a fight for territory. She began to growl threateningly, snort and chase Katyusha away. These aggressive actions could be dangerous for the cub. Our zoologists contacted Chinese specialists, and they recommended that we separate the pandas, which was done,” said Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.
Katyusha has excellent indicators – she weighs 65 kilograms. For comparison: Dindin at this age was almost nine kilograms lighter. Katyusha also recently began to participate in veterinary training: she allows you to feel her belly, examine her teeth, and stand on the scales. She also learned this by repeating her mother’s movements.
The design of the Fauna of China pavilion allows for rotation of the animals: now Katyusha and Dinding take turns walking in the outdoor enclosure. After some time, zoologists tried to connect the mother with the cub through a lattice gate, but the adult female began making threatening sounds again. Therefore, now the pandas remain in separate rooms.
Moscow Zoo specialists believe that Katyusha is ready for independent life. But the baby will have a certain period of adaptation. Zoologists are closely monitoring the condition of these animals and are in constant contact with Chinese specialists from the Center for the Conservation and Study of Giant Pandas.
