Beijing Zoo's internet celebrity panda "suddenly bald", the garden party: it has been processed and is recovering

　　The Beijing News (trainee reporter Peng Chong) The internet celebrity giant panda "Fu Xing" at Beijing Zoo has recently had a new worry: suddenly "bald".

　　On the 8th, a reporter from the Beijing News saw at the Beijing Zoo that "Fu Xing" had "alopecia areata" on the top of his head, about the size of two coins, and part of his scalp was already exposed.

Beijing Zoo staff said that the breeder and veterinarian have begun to apply medicine and the hair is recovering.

Giant panda encounters a crisis of "shading"

　　In the eyes of “cat fans” who pay attention to the giant panda’s every move, the “Fu Xing” of Beijing Zoo can be described as an Internet celebrity.

　　However, starting three months ago, "Cat Fan" discovered something wrong: a small piece of hair on the top of "Fu Xing" began to turn black and gradually fell off.

　　Since then, "hair loss" has continued.

"Cat fan" Ms. Zhou told the Beijing News reporter that "Fuxing" began to show a pink scalp on the top of his head, "because on the head, we are worried about danger."

　　On the morning of September 8, a reporter from the Beijing News found at the Panda Pavilion in the Beijing Zoo that there was indeed an obvious "balding" on top of "Fu Xing".

Even so, "Fu Xing" climbed up and down, looking for bamboo shoots scattered by the breeder, and then lay down to eat.

　　From the scene, "Bald Head" does not seem to have an impact on the daily life of "Fu Xing".

　　A panda fan at the scene told the Beijing News reporter that he has been paying attention to Fuxing, "It has been two or three months since the hair has problems. It may be that the panda was hot on the concrete floor when it rolled, and then the hair fell off."

　　According to data from the Beijing Zoo Panda House, Fuxing is a male giant panda born in 2017. On December 30, 2018, he officially met with tourists at the Beijing Zoo Panda House Olympic Pavilion. The "cat fan" is called "fat sea".

The park said it has been involved

　　Why do giant pandas also face the crisis of "shaking"?

A reporter from the Beijing News asked the staff of the Beijing Zoo about this. The other party said that the zoo has already learned about the situation and received feedback from many tourists.

　　At present, the veterinarians and breeders of the Beijing Zoo have been involved in the treatment and applied medicine for the "Fuxing".

Compared to before, "Fu Xing" hair has begun to grow back, but it will take time to fully recover.

As for the reason for "Fu Xing", the other party said that it was "not clear".

　　Wang Fang, a researcher at the School of Life Sciences at Fudan University, told the Beijing News that there are many reasons for panda hair loss, which may be caused by parasites, bacterial infections, fungal infections or trauma, which can only be judged after inspection and laboratory tests.

　　"Usually, wild animals are very resistant to trauma and recover quickly. If it is a trauma, there is no need to worry about it. Just observe whether the panda's behavior, activities, and balance are normal, such as eating and playing. , Rest, etc. If these are all right, everyone doesn't need to be overly nervous." Wang Fang said.

　　Wang Fang also said that as long as it is not severely burned, animal hair can grow out.

Pandas have their hair updated twice a year, once in summer and once before winter.

"If the baldness is caused by trauma, it should get better before winter."
