旅居华盛顿美国国家动物园的雄性大熊猫"宝力"于8月4日迎来五周岁生日[1]。动物园为其准备了以菠萝汁冰棒制成的"生日蛋糕"和丰容玩具[1]。
据饲养员莱利介绍，作为5岁的"青少年"熊猫，"宝力"非常活泼好动，日常生活主要是"吃、睡、玩"[1]。与"宝力"同来的雌性大熊猫"青宝"健康活泼，两只熊猫已对对方表现出兴趣[1]。它们于2024年10月15日抵达华盛顿动物园[1]。
中国驻美国大使馆在园内举办了传统文化体验活动[1]。访园人士对大熊猫的文化意义有深刻认识，退休律师海伦表示："我认为熊猫是很多不了解中国的人认识中国的切入点"[1]。
Bao Li, a male giant panda residing at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C., marked his fifth birthday on August 4, 2026 [1]. The zoo prepared special treats for the occasion, including a birthday "cake" made from pineapple juice popsicles and enrichment toys favored by keepers [1]. Keeper Riley described the five-year-old panda as a highly active and playful "teenager," whose daily routine consists mainly of "eating, sleeping, and playing" [1].
Bao Li arrived at the Washington zoo on October 15, 2024, accompanied by a female panda named Qing Bao [1]. According to zoo staff, both pandas are in excellent health and have shown growing interest in each other [1]. The Chinese Embassy in the United States marked the occasion by hosting traditional cultural experience activities at the zoo [1]. Retired lawyer Helen reflected on the pandas' significance, noting that "I think pandas are a gateway for many people unfamiliar with China to learn about the country" [1].
