近几天，旅美大熊猫“丫丫”的情况引发网友关注，数次登上热搜。网传“丫丫”目前的身体健康情况、皮肤病症状令人担忧，也有网友希望“丫丫”能早日回国。根据此前协议，“丫丫”将于今年4月回国。

As the giant panda loan agreement for female panda Ya Ya between the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens (CAZG) and the US Memphis Zoo will come to an end in April, Chinese netizens petitioned for an earlier return of the elderly panda which has been suffering from a skin disease and other health conditions.

 

而有关“丫丫”的话题也刷屏微博：

 

据中国动物园协会网站消息，中美双方正在积极协调，办理有关手续，争取早日运输大熊猫“丫丫”回国。目前，中方已经发放了进口许可证、检疫许可，确定了检疫场所，做好了相关准备工作。

China and the US are actively coordinating and handling relevant procedures to try to bring Ya Ya back to China at an early date. China has issued import licenses and quarantine permits, identified quarantine sites and made relevant preparations for the return of Ya Ya.

“丫丫”现状如何？

据顶端新闻报道，在美志愿者透露，在美国孟菲斯动物园的大熊猫“丫丫”健康状况令人担忧，除了大面积皮肤病、疑似营养不良、拉肚子，还出现了疑似精神异常的刻板行为。

According to US volunteers’ observations on Ya Ya, it has been suffering from multiple conditions including malnutrition, diarrhea and abnormally stereotyped behaviors apart from extensive dermatosis.

2003年4月，作为中美共同保护和研究大熊猫计划的一部分，来自上海动物园的雄性大熊猫“乐乐”和来自北京动物园的雌性大熊猫“丫丫”乘坐飞机抵达孟菲斯，开始了旅美生涯。2013年，两只熊猫为期10年的租借期结束后，孟菲斯动物园与中国动物园协会签订协议，将租借期再延长10年。

In April of 2003, Ya Ya from Beijing Zoo and Le Le from Shanghai Zoo arrived at the Memphis Zoo in the US state of Tennessee as a part of a joint conservation and research project between CAZG and the US zoo with an agreement duration of 10 years which was extended by 10 more years in 2013. The arrival of the pair of pandas made the Memphis Zoo the fourth zoo in the US to have pandas on exhibition.

前不久，孟菲斯动物园通报，另一只旅美大熊猫“乐乐”已于2月1日死亡；相关信息的流传令不少中国网友质疑园方饲养方式不当。此时距离25岁的“乐乐”回国仅有两个月的时间。

Chinese netizens have been very concerned about Ya Ya after the sudden death of its male partner Le Le at the US zoo on February 1, since the giant panda couple has been suspected of being improperly fed and raised for years. However, after spending nearly 20 years in the US, Le Le suddenly passed away at the age of 25 just two months before the panda pair’s return home.

此前，中国驻美国使馆表示，将协助有关方面做好善后工作。中国动物园协会已同孟菲斯动物园展开对接，将及时组建专家组并尽快前往孟菲斯动物园，与美方专家共同开展大熊猫死亡原因调查。

The Chinese Embassy in the US said Chinese experts would be sent to the US to investigate the cause of its death and to handle the aftermath.

美联社2月4日的报道：大熊猫“乐乐”死亡，在孟菲斯动物园度过20年

据中国动物园协会网站消息，中方赴美大熊猫专家组抵达孟菲斯动物园后，与美方专家共同完成了对大熊猫“乐乐”的尸体解剖检查，解剖排除了导致动物意外死亡的如肠扭转、主动脉破裂、肝脓肿破裂或大出血等常见病因。观察到心脏病变，初步判定是其死亡的原因，但需要进一步的病理检测结果确认。

Preliminary results suggest that heart disease was the cause of death of the giant panda Le Le at the Memphis Zoo in the US based on an autopsy on the panda conducted by a team of Chinese and US panda experts, according to a report on the official website of the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens (CAZG).

The autopsy ruled out common causes of accidental death such as intestinal torsion, aortic rupture, ruptured liver abscess, or massive bleeding. Further pathological test results are needed to confirm the initial findings, said the report.

同时，专家组现场察看了大熊猫“丫丫”的健康状况，调阅了其体检报告和健康月报。评估认为，目前“丫丫”除皮肤病导致的毛发脱落外，食欲良好，粪便性状正常，体重稳定。专家组还就“丫丫”的被毛异常情况与孟菲斯园方进行了讨论，并就“丫丫”的饲养和护理向美方提出了建议和要求。

At the same time, the expert team inspected the health condition of the female giant panda, Ya Ya, and reviewed her physical examination report and monthly health report. According to the evaluation, except for the hair loss caused by skin disease, Ya Ya has a good appetite, normal feces and stable weight. Experts also discussed with the Memphis Zoo about the abnormal condition of Ya Ya's hair and made suggestions for to local representatives on the breeding and care for the giant panda.

北京动物园回应

据北京动物园介绍，丫丫出生于2000年，北京动物园已经进行了大熊猫“丫丫”回国的全面准备工作，未来是否展出需综合考量，目前尚不确定。

According to staffers from the Beijing Zoo where Ya Ya was born in 2000, the zoo is still going through the approval procedures for the panda’s return to China, media reported.

“丫丫”脱毛等健康问题是否和遗传有关？它是否还有“亲戚”生活在北京动物园？

对此，北京动物园游客服务中心工作人员表示，北京动物园应该没有“丫丫”的“亲戚”了，现在以大熊猫“萌萌”家族成员为主；遗传问题还需向动物业务管理部了解。

顶端新闻的报道则显示，知情人士称，中国动物园协会工作人员透露：“按照此前的计划，相关专家已出发去往美国，如果手续办理顺利，丫丫将提前回国。”
