The Inner Ring House 3 also has 4 yards in it and I saw the pandas in 3 of them – first up it’s Qiao Lin 乔林! Qiao Lin is also known as Qiao Dou Dou 乔兜兜, and is a relatively young male at 5 years old. And he’s a twin, his brother is Qiao Sen 乔森 who is also living here but in the Outer Ring House 1 – their mother Qiao Qiao 乔乔 is famous in the panda breeding world for bringing important wild panda genes into the captive population and thus increasing the genetic diversity. So important for conservation of the species! When I saw him Qiao Lin was busy with both eating and sleeping, very important panda activities – I was just surprised he slept on his wooden platform in the afternoon right in the sun, but it must have been a good spot^
