万花筒 2011-12-09&12-11 饲养员穿“熊猫服”带圈养大熊猫走向野外（在线收听） |
As you know, giant pandas are among the world's most adored and endangered animals. And the Chinese government decided that they would be better off out in the real world, returned to the wild, if they never had human attachments. So what's the solution? ABC's David Wright in Sichuan China put on a panda suit himself. They are adorable but almost extinct, so the Chinese scientists working hard to preserve the giant pandas. I've come up with an unusual way to keep them accompany.
It looks like a giant Halloween costume, huh?
Black and white fluffy costumes, tailer made for China's Wolong panda research center.
Complete with paws.
Have you seen the panda suit thing?
Yes, I have.
What do you make of it?
Yeah, it's funny like it behave, you know, whatever works, right?
And now to complete the event. Do they tell mistakenly for a giant panda?
Believe it or not, this is how the researchers actually dress whenever they handle one of their panda cubs. They hope in a few years to release this cub into the wild and they don't want it to grow too attach to humans.
I mean they go about it so earnestly.
They are. And I think it's an interesting way of going about that. I feel that they still can smell a person no matter what they look like.
Probably so. This little four-month-old does seem to be slightly unsettled by his teddy bear doctors.
Do you think it will help those pandas if when they are ever released?
Oh, yeah, the less human contact they have, the better chance they will have when they get released.
A silly scene in the service of a worthy course.
