在机场附近，有大批粉丝围观“丫丫”回国，飞机落地的瞬间有人喜极而泣，更别提还有亿万网友“云接机”！

 

Groups of Shanghai residents rushed to the airport to welcome Ya Ya. Videos show the crowd that was waiting for Ya Ya burst into cheers when they saw the flight carrying Ya Ya descending. For panda lovers who could not make it to the Shanghai airport, they launched an online "pickup" for Ya Ya.

 

这两天，有关“丫丫”回归的话题，条条都刷屏热搜，真正的万众瞩目！

 

 

为做好“丫丫”隔离检疫，上海动物园设立了专门的隔离检疫场所，含室内兽舍、室外运动场、饲料加工间等，室内兽舍加装空调，同时准备了丰富足量的竹子和辅食。

Video footage released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration late Thursday night showed Ya Ya enjoying bamboo shoots and wandering around a large room, attended by a number of carers.

 

据报道，在隔离检疫期间，北京动物园专家团队将驻场全天24小时陪护，针对“丫丫”高龄、生活环境变化等特殊情况，精心做好饲养护理、健康监测和诊疗诊治等，陪伴“丫丫”度过一个月的隔离期，尽快适应回国生活。

 

The zoo has prepared abundant bamboo and supplementary foods for the 23-year-old panda. An expert team from the Beijing Zoo will stay at the quarantine site to attend to her needs during the period.

 

国家林草局介绍，为保障“丫丫”安全顺利回国，3月16日，北京动物园选派的经验丰富的饲养员和兽医抵达美国参与饲养护理，熟悉掌握“丫丫”的生活习性和饲养情况，开展行为训练、日常体检和健康评估等工作。

 

To make preparations for Ya Ya's return, a veterinarian and a panda keeper from the Beijing Zoo arrived at the Memphis Zoo last month. They worked with experts from the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens who had arrived earlier to familiarize themselves with Ya Ya's habits and feeding conditions.

 

当地时间26日，孟菲斯动物园在社交媒体推特上发文告别“丫丫”：

 

20年过去，丫丫已经像我们的家人一般，孟菲斯动物园的工作人员和本地社区民众都会想念她。我们祝愿她在新家过得愉快。

 

 

Memphis Zoo, where Ya Ya has spent the past 20 years, issued a statement on Wednesday saying that "after 20 years, Ya Ya has become like family, and she will be sorely missed by the Memphis Zoo staff and the local community…We wish her the best of luck in her new home."

 

2003年4月，大熊猫“丫丫”“乐乐”旅居美国田纳西州孟菲斯动物园。按照合作协议，于今年到期回国。今年2月，25岁的“乐乐”因心脏病离世，遗体同机返回国内。

Ya Ya was born at the Beijing Zoo on Aug. 3, 2000. She and fellow giant panda Le Le arrived at the Memphis Zoo in April 2003 as envoys of friendship, and they were warmly welcomed. Sadly, Le Le died of heart disease in February this year, ahead of the pair's scheduled return to China. The remains of the 25-year-old panda were repatriated on the same flight as Ya Ya today.

 

4月27日，中国动物园协会网站发布《关于旅美大熊猫“乐乐”死因报告的情况说明》，说明显示：

 

旅美大熊猫“乐乐”于美国当地时间2023年2月1日凌晨不幸死亡。随后中方立即成立专家组赴美国孟菲斯动物园，与美方专家一起对其进行尸检。根据尸检结果初步判断，心脏病变可能是导致其死亡的主要原因。通过对“乐乐”70多个样品的病理学和病原学检查，最终结果支持尸检的初步判断。下一步，经检疫查验合格并做好生物安全保障后，将用于科学研究。

 

Heart disease has been determined as the cause of death for Le Le, Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens announced on Thursday, the same day Le Le's body was returned to China.

 

 

据中新网报道，27日，许多民众自发到上海动物园门口迎接“丫丫”和“乐乐”。上海动物园附近，当地民众摆上鲜花、竹笋还有盆盆奶等，有人说：“到家了，乐乐！”“放心吧，我们会照顾好丫丫的。
