Recently, some netizens said that the 13-year-old "Pig Strong" can no longer stand on his own.
On January 12, the reporter came to the Sichuan Jianchuan Museum and saw "Pig Jianqiang" lying on the straw covered with a quilt and grilling an electric heater.
Keeper Gong Guocheng told reporters that "Pig Strong" will turn 14 years old in April 2021, which is equivalent to about 100 years old for humans.
The recent cold weather, coupled with the disability caused by the earthquake, and the old age is relatively stiff, so its hind legs are inconvenient to walk.
Nowadays, the "Pig Qiang" pen has a heater, and the vegetarian food is heated before feeding. Every time he leaves his "home", Gong Guocheng will cover the quilt specially for "Pig Qiang".
Gong Guocheng said that years don't sparing "pigs". In fact, all lives have a beginning and an end. My job is to wait for them to be "old".
