On 9 September, local time, Israel suddenly launched an air strike on Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the aim of “precision” attacks against senior members of the Palestinian Islamic resistance (Hamas). After the attack, netizens were concerned: how's the big panda in Doha?
The Israeli attack took place at around 3 p.m. local time, and the crowd was horrified by the repeated explosion of a three-storey red villa building. The surrounding residents indicated that the explosion caused a shaking of their houses.
Do these huge explosions have an impact on the panda? Optimistic journalists have noted that the Chengdu Panda base has repeatedly issued reminders that the panda likes to be quiet, that it is forbidden to shout loudly, to shout out the name of the panda, and that it is not allowed to slap glass, chase and fight, and that these moves will frighten the panda ...
On the afternoon of 10 September, a journalist from the pole called Hal Park, Qatar, where the Doha Panda Palace was located. According to the staff, the panda was in good order and the panda museum was open on the same day.
Staff also confirmed that the Panda Palace was located 50 kilometres north of Doha.
In May 2020, the conservation of endangered species and biodiversity in China and China was promoted through further international cooperation in the conservation of large pandas. The two sides have signed a cooperation agreement on the protection of large pandas, and together with their Chinese counterparts, they will cooperate on the protection of large pandas under the desert climate.
On 19 October 2022, China's large pandas, the Four Seas and the King of Kyoto, arrived in Doha, Qatar.
“The Four Seas”, a female large panda, was born on 26 July 2019 at the Mounting Tree Base of the Centre for the Protection of the Great Panda of China; and “Kyoyoyo” is a male large panda born on 19 September 2018 at the Centre for the Protection of the Great Panda of China, who later lived at the Yaan Base.
They will stay in Qatar for the next 15 years. It was the first big panda in the Middle East, and it was soon the heat of panda fever.
It has also been reported earlier by Xinhua that locals are very enthusiastic about visiting the Grand Panda Palace, that the Qatar Tourist Board has listed the Grand Panda Palace as one of Qatar's main attractions, and that posters of the “Four Seas” and the “Kyoyoyo” are available on the main road and in the subway in Doha.
Qatar is situated in the Gulf of the Middle East, with a hot climate and a summer temperature of up to 50 degrees Celsius, and natural conditions pose significant challenges to the conservation of large pandas. In response to this problem, the Qatar Large Panda Palace has adopted an interior design with glass skylights, using air conditioning to control temperature and simulate four season changes.
