I can attest to the therapeutic effects Xiao Qui Ji has.
During the isolation of the last year, watching this goofball grow has brought many smiles and lols

This year with Xiao Qi Ji has been a little miracle of love for so many of us 💜

Me too! Love them! 🤍🐼🖤

He is so Adorable!! Love watching him and his mother!!! He gets his goofiness from his daddy Lol. She is such a good mother. I'd stay up late to watch.. It's funny when he chases her.
There are very dedicated Smithsonian Panda Cam watchers who create daily videos for everyone to enjoy. These are some very special people who have made watching the pandas and getting our daily fix much easier by editing to show the best parts of the day. I religiously watch at least one video every single day. Without fail, no matter what is going on in the world, Mei, Qi Ji and Tian Tian make it all better. Thank you so much, Mr. Rubenstein, Marty, Murial and everyone else involved in their lives. We are very proud of how well they are cared for. They are all very happy and it shows 🐾🖤

meanwhile Memphis zoo is mistreating panda yaya. Lele is already abused to death.
I've loved watching this "Little Miracle" and his mom since he was born!!!! He is a precious little guy!!!! 💗 Happy Birthday little boy!!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🍨🎂🎁🎁🌈🌈
Have loved the National Zoo pandas for decades 🤍🐼🖤
Priceless!
Too cute 💖
We love him so much!!!!!!
Saw them yesterday! So cute
He is precious. Been following him some time.
Hiii xiao qiji! Cute. Any birth is nice
My QJ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😅😢❤❤❤❤
Whenever a baby panda is born, it becomes . . . . . (wait for it)
. . . . . sheer PANDA-monium!
(ducks oncoming flying fruits, veggies, and flaming sticks for that awful pun).
Thank you Mr. Rubenstein.

I saw a small cage for QiJi and his mother. The mother barely can't move. The baby cry for milk, but the zoo didn't feed the mother enough to have enough milk for the baby. China should take them home before they ended up like Le Le or Ya Ya.
Sorry, but this is nonsense!!- I just hope that China will take comparably fine care of them, with all the trimmings!!- 🥲 (In China, they once resorted to yelling & hitting some of their pandas with sticks to make them breed-? I know they desperately sought to aid breeding, but that just seemed mean, stressful, & inhumane?!. Plus, studies confirm that pandas like to pick their own mates!!) Well, the U.S. Pandas NEVER had any mistreatment like that, ever!!- Certainly, everyone was kindly & gentle to them!- 💗🐼
I remember seeing this upload a year or so ago and being baffled that an 'expert' would say they try to discourage mouthing and chewing by baby pandas (!). You have to figure he was just confused under the glare of TV lights, but apparently this video is still doing the rounds a year later. Remarkable
I want to be a nanny for a panda so bad.
Right!?
So does Chik McGee.
Aww
This zoo mistreats pandas. They have been not only starving the Meixiang panda family, but have continuously used electric shock and artificial insemination for many years on them from 2000 until now (24 times for Meixieng panda and 22 times for Tian Tian panda).
Please stop mistreat Meixiang, Tian Tian and Xiao Qiji.😭😭😭
😭😭😭
This is not true. There’s no electric shock and if there is it’s very minimal. Plus they don’t artificially inseminate every year, they’ve only done it around 5-6 times in 24 years. Please don’t spread misinformation, they are treated incredibly well.
I really hope that China treats their native pandas well & makes sure they have plenty of healthy, unpolluted, natural habitat!! I hope they will let this family Climb Trees, which they love to do!!- Mei Xiang also loved being a mother, and she was always treated well!- The Nat. Zoo gave them a very good life, & they were SO Happy!!- 🐼😊
I have only seen a few clips of the baby pandas at the National Zoo in Washington DC, but what strikes me is their endless loneliness. Would you have been happy playing alone throughout your childhood? There are many videos that show the baby pandas being extremely afraid of the workers. It is concerning that a 3-year-old panda would show a scared reaction upon seeing a worker. What have these workers done to the pandas? Has the National Zoo in Washington DC mistreated and abused these adorable pandas? If the workers do not love the pandas, they should return them to China where they can receive proper care.
Yes. I totally agree with you. If the Smithsonian Zoo CAN'T AFFORD to look after the panda, please send the Tian Tian family (Mother Mei Xiang, Father Tian Tian and Baby Little Miracle) back to China.
Why is the Smithsonian Zoo treating the pandas so HORRIBLY. Recently they sprayed water jet at Little Miracle when he was looking for his mother Mei Xiang? We could see the little guy running scaredly away trying to avoid the harsh water jet. The zoo keepers also give old and hard bamboos for the family (Mother Mei Xiang, Father Tian Tian and Baby Little Miracle) to eat. Sometimes can see Little Miracle eating the grass because there is nothing for him to eat. Then the Zoo keepers separating the mother from the child. Poor Little mIracle alone by himself, looking for mommy and daddy. Even daddy Tian Tian behavior now and look is similar to Ya Ya, frail and listless, before she was thankfully brought back to China from that horrible Memphis Zoo where one panda (Le Le) died. Please, if the Smithsonian Zoo CAN'T AFFORD to look after the pandas please send them back to China. Please don't let another casualty happen. Please don't let Tian Tian or Mei Xiang or even Little Miracle die too soon!
No they aren’t abused. They’re solitary creatures and they aren’t scared of them, they’re actually never in the same area as the keepers for safety. It’s more likely a reaction of slight unfamiliarity as they don’t really interact.
@@nmn2406they’re old. Really old actually. Mei Xiang is the oldest living panda in the world right now if I remember correctly, if not she may be the oldest female alive. Plus tian is also very old and they actually separated qi ji and mei at a very old age, usually in the wild they separate around 1.5-2 years old, and qi ji only got separated 6 months ago, at 3 years old.
@@Mets2015WorldSeries - Yes, these Pandas have been very loved and spoiled in the USA!!- :) They have the most beautiful, big yards to enjoy, too!!- I think it's great how the Nat. Zoo makes sure that they have time to romp, climb trees, and naturally interact with their mother!!.. In other countries, sometimes the mother pandas don't even care for or Nurse their own cubs (?!), which is SO critical for their personalized Health and Nutrition!.. But, the Nat. Zoo has been very successful with allowing ALL of these 4 Cubs to have 100% Natural Milk from their own mother. Plus, they receive plenty of nurturing, bonding, playtime, and cleaning directly from their very loving mother, Mei Xiang, which is the absolute Best for them, overall!!-💖🐼

People in China said that Xiao qi ji didn't get enough food,is it true?I hope the keeper can give them enough food,apples
They get plenty of food, don’t worry. I think they might be referring to the fact that they eat frozen fruit juices as a treat for when it’s hot, and they get plenty of food otherwise.
Tell the public how many baby pandas has been die at the National Zoo?
2 out of 6, very high survival rate actually. Around 50% of panda cubs don’t live until they are a year old. The only deaths are a twin (one is always abandoned in the wild and it’s still rare for both to survive) and one died from pneumonia in 2012.
@@Mets2015WorldSeries Actually, I lived nearby, & there was another stillbirth twin early on.. Further, they had no success with trying to inseminate Mei Xiang with the sperm from select "perfect" pandas with the "best" genetics!!.. She only became Pregnant by Tian Tian, whom she did have a relationship with!!.. He was her long-time sweetie/ "husband"!!..🐼💓
@@toodleloo2253 forgot about that one
@@Mets2015WorldSeries - Yeah, I'm so glad that Bao Bao grew up perfectly Healthy, though, after her Mama Mei Xiang had some pseudo-pregnancies/ miscarriages!!.. And now Bao Bao has 3 of her own Cubbies!!- They are SO Extra Cute- just like her!!- Also, the firstborn, Tai Shan, aka "Butterstick," has had one boy cub with his chosen "wifey," named Wen Yu ("Wennie")!.. The keepers in China say that it was "Love at first sight" for Tai Shan- lol!!.. And he's only had eyes for his Wennie!.. We were so lucky to have this special Panda Family in the USA!!-💗(Keeping it all in the family at the Nat. Zoo, as my neighbors would say- haha!)-

pandemic panda
Um isn’t it natural selection to go extinct like dinosaurs? Most Pandas in captivity or out in nature can’t even mate on their own, so it’s not like we humans are killing them to begin with. Are Pandas really crucial in the food chain of things?
Pandas mate fine in the wild. It's captive pandas that have trouble because of lack of libido or bc they just don't know how to do it.
Humans are the main reason for the panda's vulnerable status, through habitat destruction and (previously) hunting.
As for the ecosystem, panda poop fertilises forests and spreads seeds.
