On the 20th of "Father's Day", a gift made of bamboo, the father of 16 children, was presented at a theme park in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
Eimei, a male giant panda bred at Adventure World, a theme park in Shirahama, has 16 children so far.
On the 20th, a gift of about 2 meters in length and width was given to Eimei's face, which was made by combining five types of bamboo, with the message "Thank you always" written on it, in honor of his father's day.
When Eimei appeared at the indoor playground, he slowly walked closer to the present and immediately ate bamboo.
Eimei is 29 years old and is over 80 years old when compared to humans, but he is also the father of the baby "Fuhin" born in November last year, and he gave birth to a child by natural mating in the breeding environment. As a male panda, it continues to set the world's oldest record.
Toru Miyashita, a breeding staff member, said, "Eimei has a gourmet side, so I made it possible to select various bamboos side by side. I gave them as a gift with my daily gratitude."
