有哪些动物是黑白相间的

最近在华盛顿的史密森尼国家动物园(Smithsonian National Zoo),大熊猫美香产下的幼崽让收看国家动物园的熊猫直播视频(Panda Cam)的近百万人无比激动。喜上加喜的是,幼崽的姐姐宝宝也于8月23日度过了两岁生日。(但两只熊猫幼崽中的一只在出生四天后不幸夭折,令人难过。)
[图片说明:为了庆祝大熊猫宝宝两周岁生日,动物园的营养师们精心制作了一个冰冻果汁蛋糕,原料包括宝宝最喜爱的蜂蜜、苹果汁、苹果酱、竹子、胡萝卜和甜菜汁。饲养师们还制作了五颜六色的纸箱子,把宝宝爱吃的东西藏在里面,让她自己去寻宝。宝宝的生日愿望是什么呢?欢迎您给国家动物园捐款:http://s.si.edu/1Jac8Tg.#WeSaveSpecies。摄影:Jim and Pam Jenkins,史密森尼国家动物园]
科学家们也激动不已。熊猫是濒危动物,国际社会正在努力繁育更多的熊猫。美香刚刚产下的幼崽将使在成都大熊猫基地的帮助之下成功繁殖的大熊猫数量增加到16只。该基地有中国、日本、美国、西班牙和法国合作从事的研究项目。

据华盛顿邮报(The Washington Post)报道,在熊猫幼崽出生后不久,史密森尼保护生物学研究所(Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute)的首席兽医考伯·艾特肯-帕尔默(Copper Aitken-Palmer),与在中国卧龙大熊猫繁育基地的同行们分享了这个好消息,并主动学习他们培育熊猫幼崽的经验。中国已经在繁殖大熊猫方面取得多次成功。通过分享这些知识,中国已经帮助提高了大熊猫种群的数量,以及世界各地能够观赏到大熊猫的人口数量。

在你附近的动物园,或者通过圣迭戈动物园(San Diego Zoo)的熊猫直播视频观看熊猫的成长过程,并更多地了解保护野生生物的多种职业。
What’s black and white and seen all over the world?The recent birth of a cub to panda Mei Xiang at Washington’s Smithsonian National Zoo has thrilled the nearly 1 million people who have tuned in to the National Zoo’s Panda Cam. If that’s not exciting enough, older sister Bao Bao also turned 2 on August 23. (Sadly, the new cub’s littermate died after four days.)
Scientists are also thrilled. Pandas are endangered and the subject of international efforts to breed more. Mei Xiang’s recent offspring brought to 16 the number of giant pandas successfully bred with the help of the Chengdu Panda Base, a collaborative research effort between China, Japan, the U.S., Spain and France.

The Washington Post reported that shortly after the birth, Copper Aitken-Palmer, chief veterinarian at the Smithsonian’s Conservation Biology Institute, shared the good news with colleagues at a panda breeding center in Wolong, China, and sought to tap into their experience with panda cubs. China has had many successes in breeding giant pandas. By sharing this knowledge it has helped increase the panda population and the number of people enjoying panda exhibits around the world.
Watch the pandas as they grow fluffier at a zoo near you, or at the San Diego Zoo’s Panda Cam, and learn more aboutcareers in conservation.
