Beijing Zoo’s star giant panda Meng Lan was suspected of having gastrointestinal discomfort, dry vomiting and foaming at the mouth on the afternoon of the 27th, which aroused great concern among netizens. The zoo reported in the evening that there were no abnormalities and that veterinarians and breeders had been arranged to be on duty overnight.
The super popular giant panda “Menglan” in Beijing Zoo became unwell in the outdoor playground on the afternoon of the 27th. On-site visitor records show that Menglan showed signs of lethargy after leaving the grounds at about 3:30 that afternoon. Not only did she not eat or drink anything, but she remained lying near the rockery for a long time. Subsequently, Menglan developed symptoms of suspected digestive tract distress such as frequent tongue thrusting, nausea and foaming at the corners of her mouth.
During this period, the breeders and veterinarians on the site called several times, but Menglan had no clear response. She even failed to return home on her own by the usual closing time. After the relevant footage was broadcast, it quickly caused widespread concern and anxiety on the Internet. Topics such as “#京Zoo report Menglan’s physical condition#” also immediately appeared on the hot search list.
According to feedback from site visitors and panda enthusiasts, Meng Lan’s abnormal condition persisted for several hours that afternoon. At around 3:30 in the afternoon, Menglan was lying on her stomach near the rockery in the playground. He was later seen adjusting his posture, vomiting and foaming at the corners of his mouth. Since Menglan usually has a lively personality and is highly interactive, her sudden depression and physical symptoms alarmed many visitors and called the park’s customer service to report the situation. After receiving the report, park staff and veterinarians immediately went to the scene to pay attention to his condition, but Menglan always responded indifferently. By about 7 pm that night, the staff successfully guided Menglan back to the inner house.
Facing strong public concern, Beijing Zoo issued an official notice late at night, explaining the incident and announcing preliminary inspection results. The park said that after Menglan was taken back home, staff immediately conducted a comprehensive and detailed observation of her food, activities, energy, rest and emissions. The veterinarian also collected stool samples for laboratory testing. After diagnosis and evaluation by the veterinary team, no obvious abnormalities have been found so far, and Mengeln’s overall physical condition has become stable.
To ensure Menglan’s health and safety, the zoo has arranged for a team of keepers and veterinarians to be on duty 24 hours a day to continuously monitor its various physical indicators and recovery status. As for whether it will be put on outdoor display the next morning, it will be decided based on Menglan’s recovery status at night.
As the “Star Panda” of Beijing Zoo, Menglan’s every move has always been loved by the public. Some fans pointed out that Menglan also suffered from mental illness and gastrointestinal discomfort in early October, but she quickly recovered after treatment. This time, strange symptoms appeared again in the digestive system within a month. Although the park pointed out that there is no serious problem at the moment, most netizens and panda lovers still hope that the park can further investigate the cause and ensure that the “Third Prince of Xizhimen” can live a healthy and happy life.
