I know it’s childish but boy oh boy was I jealous of Mariel!!! That little cutie. I can never get enough of him shaky footage or not! Watching him savor his fruit not worrying if mommy was going to come and get his goodies. When he laid back around the 6:20 mark I swear his face read, “this is the life!” Mei truly is a patient mommy the way he pulls and tugs on her face fur and ears. They’re just too beautiful for words! Thank you Tai for once again bringing so much joy and happiness to us!!! 🐼🐼🐼🥰🥰🥰
You're welcome Andrea! 🤗🥰 I think it's natural for any panda loving adult to feel jealous of lucky Mariel! I'm glad Qi Ji has such loving and dedicated nannies to provide him with the best life possible. And the tastiest snack buffet outdoors for him to revel in laid back in the grass! I love how patient Mei is with her little hyped up warrior baby, letting him practice his battle moves on her lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
You're welcome Linda! 🤗🥰 It's an honor and privilege to be at the Panda House and capture this footage! Wish I could film inside more often but it gets way too crowded in the indoors Panda House. That's why most of my videos are in the yard, which is the most enriching playground for a precocious cubbie 😍❣🐼
I’m in awe; first time seeing the silly mischievous boy interact with a human without any barriers between them!! So jelly of Muriel, earning a paycheck while having the bestest job in the world!! 💞🐼
Oh I was super thrilled to see little warrior baby playing with Mariel! She's like a second mommy to him and must felt bad for Qi Ji, always scrounging for scraps. So nice she figured out how to spoil sweet baby without mama jaws around to take them all! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
You're welcome Katie! 🤗🥰 It's an honor and privilege to record these marvelous pandas... they are breathtaking and fill you up with joy! Thanks for watching😍❣🐼
Thanks Wendy! 🤗🥰 I was really lucky to be there that day for all the extra activities! It was such a special moment with Mariel & Qi Ji. She sure is lucky! The keepers have been doing more separating of Mei & Qi Ji during snacktime so he can enjoy treats away from mama jaws sometimes lol 😍❣🐼
I'm envious of her as well! I just like to close my eyes & imagine that I'm lucky Mariel for a minute, rubbing his belly & holding his sweet paws 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕

Oh to give that miracle biscuit a belly rub and hold his paws! He just so wonderful. Whether being a little quieter and sliding down trees or wrestling with Mom, he is perfect. So was ur video. Thank u so much Tai Wang.
You're welcome Kathy! 🤗🥰 Ooh that sweet moment with Mariel was too cute! I imagined that I was in Mariel's body experiencing that incredible interaction with our playful cubbie. And he was having a blast sliding down the tree branch! Another cutest thing ever lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 Claudette: It was so amazing" hearing you" watching when Mariel was holding our precious cubbie's paws and rubbing his belly with those adorable little legs moving about--we could hear the happy gasps as that was going on--I was thinking I am sure that is Tai besides herself with fond adoration at the idea of playing with her precious little love cubbie!! So when I heard you exclaim about your imagining it was You with that interaction, my heart was smiling Yes Yes I knew it!! I so enjoy your adoring loving for the miracle one!!
@@kennethmarks1625 Thank you Claudette! 🤗🥰 Yes I was beside myself with joy feeling what it must be like to touch that precious baby belly and hold that sweet paw! I was instantly transported into the sensation of Mariel's experience. And his adorable attempts to wrestle him, well she just handled all this easily and calmed him down with her perfect technique. It was a magical moment! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕

Thank you soooo much for your enthusiasm delight and love for him-- the magic gets into us through your being there, Thank you so much for sharing your trips to the zoo with us in such a rich endearing way!!
These past several months have been wonderful seeing a little cubby growing into such a beautiful bear. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing all your videos.......they all have been wonderful and thanks to the keepers for making this little bear so happy.
You're welcome K P! 🤗🥰 I feel like the keepers treat the pandas with so much love and care! I knew Xiao Qi Ji would be absolutely gorgeous growing bigger but I'm still stunned every time I look at him. He is such an angel faced little rascal lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Thanks for sharing the snack scene, it was delightful and different from what I have seen! Mariel has the BEST job ever! I'm glad you decided to keep the footage, it's definitely must see! ❤️🐼
You're welcome Shannon! 🤗🥰 Last Sunday was a particularly interesting day at the Panda House! There was Xiao qi ji with his own sugarcane from my last video and the rare sighting of keeper-cubbie interaction here. Such fun! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕

Hi Dilcia!! 🙋♀️🌺💕 Hope you had a lovely weekend with your girls! Qi Ji starting to look like a big boy but he still such a sweet little baby, needs his mommy and nanny who love him so so much! We all love you too, the whole world full of joy everywhere watching you all day long Qi Ji 🐼👀💕 I wondered if nanny Mariel always wanted to take care of pandas and worked hard to make her dream come true. What an incredible dream, we all want to have! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕

Xiao Qi Ji loves his nanny Mariel! You can tell by the way he stares at her whenever she is in the yard with him. He knows dis the fun hooman with the yummies 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Little Miracle and mama Mei keep me in stitches from laughter!! They're playing and being silly together ❤ such a welcomed sight for anyone to observe.
Thank you for this, I was in much need of heart comforting ♥ and Cheer Up!! And over the past year this Lil Fluffer Biscuit Miracle Cubby has brought so much joy & happiness 😊 💖 Yes the nannies are very lucky to interact with Sir Fluffy Biscuit ❤ and he seems very mildly chill with the interaction with his nannies. There's something very rare heartwarming 💕 special about our Lil Fluffer Biscuit Miracle Cubby 💖 ✨ I'm glad he was was able to enjoy his apple 🍎 and sweet potato 🍠 treat 😋 Snackies, what a good Lil boy!!🙌💯🥰💞
You're welcome Rachel! 🤗🥰 So happy your spirits were lifted by the video! Panda therapy is very effective, I heard a psychologist was prescribing it to another subscriber. All I know is I fell in love with Xiao Qi Ji & he fills me with happy panda vibes! Nannies are so smart & nice to close the gate so mama n cubbie can enjoy their own treats in peace. I wish you lots of happy panda vibes to help you feel better Rachel! 🤭😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Tai, thank you so much for all the adorable footage of our wonderful baby and his mom!!! My heart always melts seeing him up close as if I am there too!!! Thank you also for capturing moments with his nanny's and other footage that we do not get to see on the pandacam's. I am so jealous!!! And again, for the life of me, how could any one give this a thumbs down, what a Debbiedowner you are for not liking this video!!! This video melts everyone's heart!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome Susan! 🤗🥰 It was one of the best days I've spent at the zoo so far! Their beauty is stunning. Seeing little one next to mama tumbling around with her is such a joy as well as the breathtaking shimmering quality of their gorgeous fur and all the other precious little detail of these charismatic and intelligent creatures! No worries about thumbs down, I'm very fulfilled with the enthusiasm and joy I hear from panda lovers like you, thank you Susan 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Tai, is it possible the next time you go to the zoo, can you let someone know that Pandacam 2 has a blue box stating the site is down? Usually its fixed by the next day, but it isn't. This only happens at night once the zoo closes. Thank you, and if you can't tell any one, I am sure eventually they will fix it but it has been over a week. Thank you.
@@susanbarba192 Sure Susan! I'll be visiting in a few days. Just a gentle query about what's going on, but I heard things are overwhelming for the zoo staff these days. Yeah that cam2 blue box is bugger blocking our view of our precious pandas! 😍❣🐼
I think Mariel is a fun nanny, she knows what Qi Ji likes and how to give him some joy in life. One time she gave him a sprinkler spray with the hose on a hot day to cool down and he was loving it! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I love watching the keepers interact with the pandas! Thank you so glad you posted i thought the footage was awesome. It shows what we do not see on panda cam they take such good care of our beloved bears. I wonder how Mei reacts to new keepers? Thank you again I bet you wish you could hug little miracle so close to his sweet face.
You're welcome & thank you Lori! 🤗🥰 I was so worried about the blurriness and shaking, whoo! Such a thrill and rush though, seeing all this awesome fun in one morning. I only wish I knew what Mei thought of new keepers! Haven't seen "new nanny lady" interact with Mei yet 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@kathy93551 The keepers come around the visitors' viewing path to serve up the sugarcane and fruity pops sometimes. That would be the opportunity for visitors to ask questions, and the keepers are kind enough to stop during their busy day to answer them
You're welcome Kay! 🤗🥰 It was my pleasure to be there and capture this for everyone! Such a treat, for us, and lots of treats for our precious special cubbie 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@joanhall8394 Yes its very easy now! You only need an entry pass for the zoo in general, and once inside you have access to Asia Trail Panda House. But if you are not a member, you cannot enter Panda House until 9am. Exclusive access for members only, from 8 to 9 every day. I think it's worth it for about $70 a year if you're a regular visitor like me. No more qr code whoo hoo! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Thanks satatas! 🤗🥰 Last Sunday was an exceptional day if fun at the Panda House! Besides this scene, my last video had the sugarcane "sharing" that happened earlier in the morning. I'm hoping they continue giving Xiao Qi Ji snacks away from mama jaws sometimes in the future lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Oh I don’t want him to grow anymore!❣️My grandkids just love Mr. Fluffy Butt🥰🥰❣️❣️They laugh whenever they see him🤗🤗💖 He is so amusing & playful & good natured... Mei has done a good job Mothering him👍❣️ Sometimes I wonder How he would react if he had Closer contact with his Dad or another young cub? He is so good with his Zoo Caretakers❣️❣️Mariel is so good with him❣️🤗 I wonder if it’s possible to get XQJ a study plastic riding toy or a swing of some sort? I think he would enjoy it once he mastered playing with them... he is so smart!!!!🐼💖🥰🥰🐼
I see the nanny & Xaio love playing with each other so cute. Both Mei & Xaio playing with each other so adorable. He enjoyed sliding down that tree log a lot having lots of fun. It was a good day for both of them!
Xiao Qi Ji seems to like wrestling with his food server, mama or Mariel, before settling down to eat lol! Such a silly and playful little guy. He really loves his tree slide, just like a kid playing on it.
Tai Wang, your videos always give me so much joy! I was there, seeing Xiao Qi Ji and his mom in person, a few weeks ago, which was truly amazing, but since I live far away from DC, I rely on you and your work to help me stay in-touch! Thank you so much!
Thankyou Tai Wang for this difficult to capture video. It's so precious! When did XQJ's head get so big?! Last time I saw him with keeper Marty, he was more in perspective. Now he looks heavy, huge! Mariel really loves him, I want to rub his tummy too. Seems as if when he wraps his arms around one of your limbs, it might hurt because he doesn't know his own strength & he's used to mama Mei who can take him on. He has no idea!
You're welcome Betty! 🤗🥰 He seemed to have a growth spurt in the last couple months, that was about 10 lbs he put on in that time. Mariel was so nice to get Xiao Qi Ji snacks all for himself, no sharing or helping from mama jaws lol! But I did wonder if he might accidently bite her hand. She was blocking that with the pear though, which he really didn't want? And those sharp claws! What if he scratched her? Well I would risk scratches and maybe little love bite from him just to get that close 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
He's so dainty the way he eats his fruit it looks like an apple but I thought two bites and it would be gone also this is the first time since he was born that I'm aware he has a nanny I'm jealous
I think his cute little baby teeth can only handle small nibble bites, its the cutest when he eats apple you can tell he just loves it! Well maybe she's not technically a nanny but I think we can say all the keepers there are like nannies? I thought it sounded cuter lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
looks like QiJi demolished that apple even with his baby teeth! What's up the pear was this his first introduction to a pear? Does he know it's edible? I was wondering if any of those keepers who interact directly with QiJi get scratched since his claws are sharp and non-retractive?
@@yknot000 Yeah there was an article on the zoo website several months ago about Qi Ji experiencing new foods like pear, that he preferred sweet potato and apple over pears. Pretty sure he took a couple tiny bites before he lost interest and started scratching himself in this scene. I bet those wonderful keepers have been scratched by Qi Ji, I might ask if I see them sometime. 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
I was just saying these pandas live blessed lives with all the keepers taking care of them in that beautiful Panda House, they get housekeeping, healthcare & course after course of yummy treats! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
He is 55 lbs of baby panda fluffiness! Next to mama's 200 plus lbs 😅 His fur is long so he looks bigger than he really is. I just really want to put my face in that fuzzy belly 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
XIAO QI JI IF ALONE LOOK LIKE Big boy,but if playing with mommy Mei,haaaaa stil mama boy,so cute....lucky nanny Mariel can touch belly and paw baby Qi ji.....healthy and happy always panda and all nanny and zoo keeper,😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩💋💋💋❤❤🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🍎🍏🍏🍎🍏🍎🥕🥕🍐🍐
Yes mama Mei is a big momma more than 200 lbs and little one looks not so little anymore beside her! I was so excited to see Mariel rub his belly & hold his sweet paws, little jealous but mostly very happy for her. She is a great nanny who knows what's best for Xiao Qi Ji, to help him grow strong and healthy! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I would love to be nanny Mariel right now. She has best spot in the world. Close to Mei and cubbies XQJ. He's a adorable and loves eating apples 🐼 🍎🍎❤❤❤❤
I imagined I was her in that special moment when she was bonding with the most gorgeous creature in the world! Mariel is certainly the luckiest, everyone wants to be her lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I love how his tractor sized head bobbles around when he runs! Like it's too heavy or something. I'd love to feel and see how long his fur is because he looks half Mei's size but weighs almost a quarter of her weight 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
He's 55 ish lbs big, I'm convinced much of his size is fluffy long fur. Is that how toddlers eat apples? Kind of just tiny nibbles all around the outside while turning it over and over? It's my favorite thing to watch him eat I think 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Our little warrior acrobat comedian cubbie is always playing something! With mama, nannies, even by himself. And who knows where his imagination takes him on his adventures in the Panda House! 😍❣🐼
His belly looked so soft and fluffy... I imagined I was her for that minute, experiencing the most wonderful thing in the world, to touch Xiao Qi Ji! It's a great idea to close the gate while mama jaws is inside just for a bit so precious can enjoy some sweets. Mariel is awesome! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
He is the cutest brat I've ever seen! I couldn't resist getting close and hugging him tight, even if he's wrestling me or scratching me with his claws lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Maybe I will ask her that next time I see her! He was pretty strong about resisting her offering and wrassling her. Mariel seem to handle it though 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Muriel looks so small next to our growing up baby his is huge now and he seems to want to wrestle with his nanny..he is so adorable little pest.❤️❤️❤️.. thank you Tai for sharing this rare footage.
Qi Ji's head looked so big and round next to Mariel! He was all curled up in a ball and wrapped around her arm, wow how fun is that? I think he wants to wrestle anyone who comes near him lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
@@taiwang8864 hi am from Jamaica my name is simi. Love watching your videos and these beautiful panda am falling in love with them....I wanna known what make so unique and special? Is like each one have their personality... Which one is the real trouble maker?
@@simmipooh23 Hi Simone! 🙋♀️ Always a pleasure meeting panda lovers near and far! Pandas are a unique species, who have adapted from meat eaters to mostly vegetarian diet of bamboo along with their false thumbs, which allow them to grip an object the way a human holds a pen. Other than the fact they're obviously adorably fluffy round breathtakingly beautiful! Each panda has a different personality and looks slightly different like humans. Qi Ji has been recognized as cubbie with exceptional abilities. He learns very fast, independent, extremely persistent & curious so he's like an escape artist 🤭 but he's also extremely cautious and agile. Also known as acrobatic comedian, he likes being goofy while practicing his gymnastics/wrestling/dance moves lol! He's everything 😍❣🐼
Watching QiJi and the lady was so cute he loves to wrestling and eating. Mostly eating. He chews a lot slower than I imagined that’s why Mom gets his treats,when she’s around💗💙
Mariel was using magical nanny techniques to get feisty cubbie to simmer down! 😂 Qi Ji so cute nibbling his apple with those little baby teeth, soon he'll be a close match with Mei at gobbling up treats 😍❣🐼
Oh OK so he don’t have his real teeth yet OK gotcha. When he sheds those baby choppers he’ll be able to chow down. Kudos to Mariel she seems to take him from 100 to 45 with those tummy love rubs.💗💙
Thanks Marion! 🤗🥰 Haha yeah guess I don't care too much that it was shaky and unfocused because Qi Ji eating apple is one of the cutest things in the world 😍❣🐼
Does he not like pears? He is getting so big. Watching him do his head stands all the time when he was a bit smaller. Does he still do them? He's so funny. What a year it has been and an honor to watch him grow. His developments... So awesome to see. Thank you so much for such wonderful footage. Oh. I see mama shaking the toy. Is there something in it that makes noise? So cute.
You're welcome Becky! 🤗🥰 I don't think he dislikes pears because I saw him eat them before. The keepers wrote an article about how he prefers apples over pears. If he was hungry and nothing else was around he'd probably be more eager to eat it. I wondered if he was saving it for mama, maybe he knows she prefers pears. And no I haven't seen him handstand long time but he's rolling a lot more! The toy Mei is shaking is an enrichment puzzle feeder filled with leaf eater biscuits and other nutritious treats. Here is an article about the enrichment techniques the keepers use for our pandas nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/news/celebrating-national-panda-day
@@taiwang8864 *** This article that the keepers wrote about the "Puzzle Feeders and Enrichment" is awesome. Wonderful and I enjoyed it. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it. Quite the neat little invention right there. You can't lose with it. I mean, it's fun. It's educational and they get a yummy reward... I love it. Thank you for sharing this info with me...
Lol he certainly is the baby King! Loyal servants that spend all day cleaning up after his whole royal family and feeding them. I would love to be a loyal servant in the Panda House! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
You're welcome! 🤗🥰 It was a long day of fun! There is only a glass barrier indoors habitat, outdoors has a railing barrier overlooking the Panda yard about 15 feet below, so there is plenty of separation from visitors. 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I wonder if Mei or QiJi get that sharp quick pain we get when eating their frozen treats.She never pauses like we do when that happens or maybe I just never noticed it 💗💙
I bet they do get a little brain freeze or shiver, when they tips their heads up to the sky and close their eyes that's how you can tell lol I think 😍❣🐼
I Love❤ that little Stinker! He is getting so Big! How much does he weigh now?.. Mei is such a wonderful Momma!❤ great footage Tia! Always wonderful! Thankyou for all you share with Us💖
There are different kinds of pear. I wonder if he may react differently to the Asian pear as it may have a different fragrance. If this comment is silly, please ignore. I love the upclose belly rub segment. And it was interesting to see how Mariel disengaged herself from Qi Ji.
Your comment is not silly, no worries. I was pretty sure it was a Bartlett pear or something similar because it had one elongated end so it wasn't completely round like the Asian pears I usually buy or the same color. There are probably different types of Asian pears as well. I thought Qi Ji just preferred the crispness of apple over pears. Yes when your arm is in a baby panda bear hug, disengage by holding one paw to release bear grip 🤭😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Oh yeah he can't bite & climb the keepers the way he can with mama, or tumble and roll with them, get fluffy snuggles or help them with their treats! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Thanks for uploading! Just wondering... were the keepers trying to lure him in with all the treats, or were they just playing with him? Either ways, he always seems very happy around them :)
You're welcome Priyanka! 🤗🥰 The keepers actually lured Mei inside, closed the gate with Xiao Qi Ji outside, so they could spoil him rotten with all kinds of snacks! And keep away from mama jaws. I heard that there was a big donor there that day, and the keepers at different exhibits were doing extra demonstrations for them. So I guess I was lucky to be there for that! Hope they continue spoiling him with snacks away from mama, in their own spaces with their own snacks, no helping lol 😍❣🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 Ahh I see.. Xiao qi ji at least got to devour his treats in the absence of Mei that day.. It breaks my heart to see her stealing his treats..
I think it is easier to handle when it's cut up but probably does not affect how properly it's digested. Xiao Qi Ji just loves apples either way! I think the other green fruit is not an apple, it looks like a pear to me. I should say he loves apples but maybe not pears so much 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Thanks Kim! 🤗🥰 I just love this panda family, Papa Tian is a sweet mellow daddy and Mei is a perfect beauty queen! Of course their babies would be extraordinary. Xiao Qi Ji is an exceptionally talented and smart cubbie in particular. This scene was recorded at 11 last Sunday 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Funny how the pear was an after thought for him. LOL It must not smell much like food to him. He looks pretty big next to the keepers! It's hard to tell sometimes exactly how big he is. The belly rub was too cute! So what I am gathering from that email is: only members are allowed into the panda area before 9am? Strangely I just checked the website & it says you still need a timed pass. Maybe they just didn't update the site? Or do they mean timed passes are not needed for members only? I guess I better become a member before I visit!
I think he took a couple bites of the pear and was like whatever, I'd rather scratch myself 🤭 It was the first thing Mariel kept trying to offer him and he rejected it multiple times, then it was just sitting next to him as he ate everything else. Entry passes are not required specifically for the Asia Trail where pandas live but entry passes are still required to enter the zoo. So now you can walk in and out freely from the Asia Trail during open hours. With that exclusive member access before 9. Happy panda adventures! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
If you mean when she breaks off the base of the boo, that's because at this time of year, she eats the leaves rather than the stalk. So she'll only need the tops 😍❣🐼
Can I ask you a question Tai? I heard female voices in your video. Are you a man or a woman? I know, strange question. But, I like to know who I'm talking with! TYSM!
Not weird at all! I'm a woman and yes it's mostly my voice you hear in the videos. I always get so embarrassed hearing my own voice and lower the volume more 🤭
Thank you for the Beautiful Video's of 🐼🐼 was just the Best ❤❤❤😘😍😋🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome Jackie! 🤗🥰 Our precious pandas are absolutely the best & I love them so much! 😍❣🐼

You're welcome Linda! 🤗🥰 It's an honor and privilege to be at the Panda House and capture this footage! Wish I could film inside more often but it gets way too crowded in the indoors Panda House.

@@kennethmarks1625 Thank you Claudette! 🤗🥰 Yes I was beside myself with joy feeling what it must be like to touch that precious baby belly and hold that sweet paw!

These past several months have been wonderful seeing a little cubby growing into such a beautiful bear. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing all your videos.......they all have been wonderful and thanks to the keepers for making this little bear so happy.
You're welcome K P! 🤗🥰 I feel like the keepers treat the pandas with so much love and care! I knew Xiao Qi Ji would be absolutely gorgeous growing bigger but I'm still stunned every time I look at him. He is such an angel faced little rascal lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕

He was trying to mangle that jolly ball!
He looks so big and his head so mature until mamma shows up and you can see he's still a little boy.
He really looks a little baby next to big momma! Looks just like her except he's a miniature version lol mini-Mei 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Tai, thank you so much for all the adorable footage of our wonderful baby and his mom!!! My heart always melts seeing him up close as if I am there too!!! Thank you also for capturing moments with his nanny's and other footage that we do not get to see on the pandacam's. I am so jealous!!! And again, for the life of me, how could any one give this a thumbs down, what a Debbiedowner you are for not liking this video!!! This video melts everyone's heart!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome Susan! 🤗🥰 It was one of the best days I've spent at the zoo so far! Their beauty is stunning. Seeing little one next to mama tumbling around with her is such a joy as well as the breathtaking shimmering quality of their gorgeous fur and all the other precious little detail of these charismatic and intelligent creatures! No worries about thumbs down, I'm very fulfilled with the enthusiasm and joy I hear from panda lovers like you, thank you Susan 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Tai, is it possible the next time you go to the zoo, can you let someone know that Pandacam 2 has a blue box stating the site is down? Usually its fixed by the next day, but it isn't. This only happens at night once the zoo closes. Thank you, and if you can't tell any one, I am sure eventually they will fix it but it has been over a week. Thank you.
@@susanbarba192 Sure Susan! I'll be visiting in a few days. Just a gentle query about what's going on, but I heard things are overwhelming for the zoo staff these days. Yeah that cam2 blue box is bugger blocking our view of our precious pandas! 😍❣🐼
Thank you Tai!
Thank You so much for posting this. Your camera work was fantastic. ❤️
Thank you! 🤗🥰 That makes me feel good, even though I was so worried about the shaking! 😍❣🐼
It was great to see him with his nanny Mariel. I hope I'll see them together more often. 🥰
I think Mariel is a fun nanny, she knows what Qi Ji likes and how to give him some joy in life. One time she gave him a sprinkler spray with the hose on a hot day to cool down and he was loving it! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕

It shows what we do not see on panda cam they take such good care of our beloved bears. I wonder how Mei reacts to new keepers? Thank you again I bet you wish you could hug little miracle so close to his sweet face.
You're welcome & thank you Lori! 🤗🥰 I was so worried about the blurriness and shaking, whoo! Such a thrill and rush though, seeing all this awesome fun in one morning. I only wish I knew what Mei thought of new keepers! Haven't seen "new nanny lady" interact with Mei yet 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 do the keepers ever have any time to come and answer any questions?
@@kathy93551 The keepers come around the visitors' viewing path to serve up the sugarcane and fruity pops sometimes. That would be the opportunity for visitors to ask questions, and the keepers are kind enough to stop during their busy day to answer them
@@taiwang8864 thank u for the reply . It is very kind of them, and u
Watching right now with 3 of my students and they are laughing at him and they loved watching him slide down the tree.
That's awesome! Qi Ji loves sliding just like human kiddies, I think he needs a bigger better jungle gym with slides on it 😍❣🐼
Thanks again Tai for sharing your visit with us! The video was a delight--especially getting to see the interaction with Qi Ji and the staff.
He does seem to eat his fruit delicately.
You're welcome Kay! 🤗🥰 It was my pleasure to be there and capture this for everyone! Such a treat, for us, and lots of treats for our precious special cubbie 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 is it easy to get in to see them?
@@shawnalLovesJesus He's savoring the flavor! 🐼❣🍎
@@joanhall8394 Yes its very easy now! You only need an entry pass for the zoo in general, and once inside you have access to Asia Trail Panda House. But if you are not a member, you cannot enter Panda House until 9am. Exclusive access for members only, from 8 to 9 every day. I think it's worth it for about $70 a year if you're a regular visitor like me. No more qr code whoo hoo! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
These videos are wonderful Tai Wang. You are capturing the best of these two. It seems he knows he has an audience. 😊
Thanks satatas! 🤗🥰 Last Sunday was an exceptional day if fun at the Panda House! Besides this scene, my last video had the sugarcane "sharing" that happened earlier in the morning. I'm hoping they continue giving Xiao Qi Ji snacks away from mama jaws sometimes in the future lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Oh I don’t want him to grow anymore!❣️My grandkids just love Mr. Fluffy Butt🥰🥰❣️❣️They laugh whenever they see him🤗🤗💖
He is so amusing & playful & good natured... Mei has done a good job Mothering him👍❣️
Sometimes I wonder How he would react if he had Closer contact with his Dad or another young cub?
He is so good with his Zoo Caretakers❣️❣️Mariel is so good with him❣️🤗
I wonder if it’s possible to get XQJ a study plastic riding toy or a swing of some sort?
I think he would enjoy it once he mastered playing with them... he is so smart!!!!🐼💖🥰🥰🐼
I see the nanny & Xaio love playing with each other so cute. Both Mei & Xaio playing with each other so adorable. He enjoyed sliding down that tree log a lot having lots of fun. It was a good day for both of them!
Xiao Qi Ji seems to like wrestling with his food server, mama or Mariel, before settling down to eat lol! Such a silly and playful little guy. He really loves his tree slide, just like a kid playing on it.
Tai Wang, your videos always give me so much joy! I was there, seeing Xiao Qi Ji and his mom in person, a few weeks ago, which was truly amazing, but since I live far away from DC, I rely on you and your work to help me stay in-touch! Thank you so much!
So…husbandry training sure looks like cuddle time! 🥰🥰🥰
Thankyou Tai Wang for this difficult to capture video. It's so precious! When did XQJ's head get so big?! Last time I saw him with keeper Marty, he was more in perspective. Now he looks heavy, huge! Mariel really loves him, I want to rub his tummy too. Seems as if when he wraps his arms around one of your limbs, it might hurt because he doesn't know his own strength & he's used to mama Mei who can take him on. He has no idea!
You're welcome Betty! 🤗🥰 He seemed to have a growth spurt in the last couple months, that was about 10 lbs he put on in that time. Mariel was so nice to get Xiao Qi Ji snacks all for himself, no sharing or helping from mama jaws lol! But I did wonder if he might accidently bite her hand. She was blocking that with the pear though, which he really didn't want? And those sharp claws! What if he scratched her? Well I would risk scratches and maybe little love bite from him just to get that close 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
He's so dainty the way he eats his fruit it looks like an apple but I thought two bites and it would be gone also this is the first time since he was born that I'm aware he has a nanny I'm jealous
I think his cute little baby teeth can only handle small nibble bites, its the cutest when he eats apple you can tell he just loves it! Well maybe she's not technically a nanny but I think we can say all the keepers there are like nannies? I thought it sounded cuter lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
looks like QiJi demolished that apple even with his baby teeth! What's up the pear was this his first introduction to a pear? Does he know it's edible? I was wondering if any of those keepers who interact directly with QiJi get scratched since his claws are sharp and non-retractive?
@@yknot000 Yeah there was an article on the zoo website several months ago about Qi Ji experiencing new foods like pear, that he preferred sweet potato and apple over pears. Pretty sure he took a couple tiny bites before he lost interest and started scratching himself in this scene. I bet those wonderful keepers have been scratched by Qi Ji, I might ask if I see them sometime. 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Such a happy boy❤❤
I was surprised to see how big he is now, he's only 11 months!
Yes he's growing fast and beautifully! His fur is absolutely gorgeous and full just like mama Mei 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Pampered prince 👑 cubbie! 🥰 🍎
I was just saying these pandas live blessed lives with all the keepers taking care of them in that beautiful Panda House, they get housekeeping, healthcare & course after course of yummy treats! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Yes it makes you want to Hug 🐼🤗 and scratch him also but he looks soo big beside her enjoying his fav 🍎🍏🐼❤❤❤💘
He is 55 lbs of baby panda fluffiness! Next to mama's 200 plus lbs 😅 His fur is long so he looks bigger than he really is. I just really want to put my face in that fuzzy belly 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
XIAO QI JI IF ALONE LOOK LIKE Big boy,but if playing with mommy Mei,haaaaa stil mama boy,so cute....lucky nanny Mariel can touch belly and paw baby Qi ji.....healthy and happy always panda and all nanny and zoo keeper,😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩💋💋💋❤❤🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🍎🍏🍏🍎🍏🍎🥕🥕🍐🍐
Yes mama Mei is a big momma more than 200 lbs and little one looks not so little anymore beside her! I was so excited to see Mariel rub his belly & hold his sweet paws, little jealous but mostly very happy for her. She is a great nanny who knows what's best for Xiao Qi Ji, to help him grow strong and healthy! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I would love to be nanny Mariel right now. She has best spot in the world. Close to Mei and cubbies XQJ. He's a adorable and loves eating apples 🐼 🍎🍎❤❤❤❤
I imagined I was her in that special moment when she was bonding with the most gorgeous creature in the world! Mariel is certainly the luckiest, everyone wants to be her lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Hahaha, little Xiao losing his snack scratching himself.
Makes me think he doesn't really care for that pear! He shunned it from the moment it was offered by Mariel at the beginning lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Seeing him with a human puts his size in perspective. He is huge with a tractor tire size head 😂.
I love how his tractor sized head bobbles around when he runs! Like it's too heavy or something. I'd love to feel and see how long his fur is because he looks half Mei's size but weighs almost a quarter of her weight 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
It only an 🍎 how he ❤ them smart Baby Panda 🐼 😏
Qi Ji loves his apples the best! I love watching him hold an apple in his sweet paws and indulge in its sweet crispness😍💕🐼
He's getting to be a big boy but he's still a youngster when it comes to the apples.
He's 55 ish lbs big, I'm convinced much of his size is fluffy long fur. Is that how toddlers eat apples? Kind of just tiny nibbles all around the outside while turning it over and over? It's my favorite thing to watch him eat I think 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 He does eat them apples delicately. He's a youngster as far as his play goes. I eat apples around the core too but I ain't a panda. :D
What are u doing....playingggggggggg have ur self a good day...

He's an acrobatic comedian sometimes lol! 😍❣🐼
I know. She was able to pet his belly. I want to bet his belly too.😪😊
I'm glad they gave Xiao his fruit when Momma Jaws wasn't around.😄
His belly looked so soft and fluffy... I imagined I was her for that minute, experiencing the most wonderful thing in the world, to touch Xiao Qi Ji! It's a great idea to close the gate while mama jaws is inside just for a bit so precious can enjoy some sweets. Mariel is awesome! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕

He is the cutest brat I've ever seen! I couldn't resist getting close and hugging him tight, even if he's wrestling me or scratching me with his claws lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I'd love to ask Mariel what his strength is like, he must be very strong.
Maybe I will ask her that next time I see her! He was pretty strong about resisting her offering and wrassling her. Mariel seem to handle it though 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Muriel looks so small next to our growing up baby his is huge now and he seems to want to wrestle with his nanny..he is so adorable little pest.❤️❤️❤️.. thank you Tai for sharing this rare footage.
Qi Ji's head looked so big and round next to Mariel! He was all curled up in a ball and wrapped around her arm, wow how fun is that? I think he wants to wrestle anyone who comes near him lol! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
@@taiwang8864 hi am from Jamaica my name is simi. Love watching your videos and these beautiful panda am falling in love with them....I wanna known what make so unique and special? Is like each one have their personality... Which one is the real trouble maker?
@@simmipooh23 Hi Simone! 🙋♀️ Always a pleasure meeting panda lovers near and far! Pandas are a unique species, who have adapted from meat eaters to mostly vegetarian diet of bamboo along with their false thumbs, which allow them to grip an object the way a human holds a pen. Other than the fact they're obviously adorably fluffy round breathtakingly beautiful! Each panda has a different personality and looks slightly different like humans. Qi Ji has been recognized as cubbie with exceptional abilities. He learns very fast, independent, extremely persistent & curious so he's like an escape artist 🤭 but he's also extremely cautious and agile. Also known as acrobatic comedian, he likes being goofy while practicing his gymnastics/wrestling/dance moves lol! He's everything 😍❣🐼
He's getting way to big, way too fast! 🥰
I know wish he would slow down the growing a bit lol! His growth is impressive though, perfectly in all the right ways, strong and healthy 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
Watching QiJi and the lady was so cute he loves to wrestling and eating. Mostly eating. He chews a lot slower than I imagined that’s why Mom gets his treats,when she’s around💗💙
Mariel was using magical nanny techniques to get feisty cubbie to simmer down! 😂 Qi Ji so cute nibbling his apple with those little baby teeth, soon he'll be a close match with Mei at gobbling up treats 😍❣🐼
Oh OK so he don’t have his real teeth yet OK gotcha. When he sheds those baby choppers he’ll be able to chow down. Kudos to Mariel she seems to take him from 100 to 45 with those tummy love rubs.💗💙
All your footage is great!! Shaky or not!!😁😁😁
Thanks Marion! 🤗🥰 Haha yeah guess I don't care too much that it was shaky and unfocused because Qi Ji eating apple is one of the cutest things in the world 😍❣🐼
5:40 when he pushed his paw back down 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guess that hind paw wasn't working on its own 😂 you know, when your foot is in your face and it won't get out of the way? 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕😂
@@taiwang8864 🤣🖤🤣
Oh my Jazzy OH Baby! 😊😅🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Does he not like pears? He is getting so big. Watching him do his head stands all the time when he was a bit smaller. Does he still do them? He's so funny. What a year it has been and an honor to watch him grow. His developments... So awesome to see. Thank you so much for such wonderful footage. Oh. I see mama shaking the toy. Is there something in it that makes noise? So cute.
You're welcome Becky! 🤗🥰 I don't think he dislikes pears because I saw him eat them before. The keepers wrote an article about how he prefers apples over pears. If he was hungry and nothing else was around he'd probably be more eager to eat it. I wondered if he was saving it for mama, maybe he knows she prefers pears. And no I haven't seen him handstand long time but he's rolling a lot more! The toy Mei is shaking is an enrichment puzzle feeder filled with leaf eater biscuits and other nutritious treats. Here is an article about the enrichment techniques the keepers use for our pandas
nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/news/celebrating-national-panda-day
@@taiwang8864 *** This article that the keepers wrote about the "Puzzle Feeders and Enrichment" is awesome. Wonderful and I enjoyed it. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it.

Lol he certainly is the baby King! Loyal servants that spend all day cleaning up after his whole royal family and feeding them. I would love to be a loyal servant in the Panda House! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
All hail the poochy panda prince and his queen mommy!!
I think it’s so interesting that they eat lying down sometimes!
They love to change up eating positions often! Whatever is most comfortable seems preferable lol 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
❤️❤️🤗😘
Thank you Randolf! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
adorable. joyful. is there a barrier .? glass ? or something !? between public and pandas ? thank you
You're welcome! 🤗🥰 It was a long day of fun! There is only a glass barrier indoors habitat, outdoors has a railing barrier overlooking the Panda yard about 15 feet below, so there is plenty of separation from visitors. 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I wonder if Mei or QiJi get that sharp quick pain we get when eating their frozen treats.She never pauses like we do when that happens or maybe I just never noticed it 💗💙
I bet they do get a little brain freeze or shiver, when they tips their heads up to the sky and close their eyes that's how you can tell lol I think 😍❣🐼
I Love❤ that little Stinker! He is getting so Big! How much does he weigh now?.. Mei is such a wonderful Momma!❤ great footage Tia! Always wonderful! Thankyou for all you share with Us💖
❤️🐼❤️🐼❤️
Thank you Bulan! 🤗🥰😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
You're welcome 🙏
There are different kinds of pear. I wonder if he may react differently to the Asian pear as it may have a different fragrance. If this comment is silly, please ignore. I love the upclose belly rub segment. And it was interesting to see how Mariel disengaged herself from Qi Ji.
Your comment is not silly, no worries. I was pretty sure it was a Bartlett pear or something similar because it had one elongated end so it wasn't completely round like the Asian pears I usually buy or the same color. There are probably different types of Asian pears as well. I thought Qi Ji just preferred the crispness of apple over pears. Yes when your arm is in a baby panda bear hug, disengage by holding one paw to release bear grip 🤭😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
I think he loves his nanny and keepers and likes playing paws with them but this spit fire loves bugging moma so much more
Oh yeah he can't bite & climb the keepers the way he can with mama, or tumble and roll with them, get fluffy snuggles or help them with their treats! 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
@@taiwang8864 m
@@marcelladominguez8787 Thank you Marcella! 🤗🥰 Hope you enjoyed the vid😍❣🐼
Thanks for uploading! Just wondering... were the keepers trying to lure him in with all the treats, or were they just playing with him? Either ways, he always seems very happy around them :)
You're welcome Priyanka! 🤗🥰 The keepers actually lured Mei inside, closed the gate with Xiao Qi Ji outside, so they could spoil him rotten with all kinds of snacks! And keep away from mama jaws. I heard that there was a big donor there that day, and the keepers at different exhibits were doing extra demonstrations for them. So I guess I was lucky to be there for that! Hope they continue spoiling him with snacks away from mama, in their own spaces with their own snacks, no helping lol 😍❣🐾🍎🍠💕
@@taiwang8864 Ahh I see.. Xiao qi ji at least got to devour his treats in the absence of Mei that day.. It breaks my heart to see her stealing his treats..
When cubby slides down the tree , splinters ???????
His thick skin and fur must be pretty tough & impenetrable!
That licking reminds me of when she used to lick QJ ALL OF THE TIME 🥰
Is a cut up in pieces apple easier to handle and digest?
I think it is easier to handle when it's cut up but probably does not affect how properly it's digested. Xiao Qi Ji just loves apples either way! I think the other green fruit is not an apple, it looks like a pear to me. I should say he loves apples but maybe not pears so much 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
I love this! His antics are adorable and Mei is so beautiful! The video is so clear I feel like I’m there! What time of day was this Tai?
Thanks Kim! 🤗🥰 I just love this panda family, Papa Tian is a sweet mellow daddy and Mei is a perfect beauty queen! Of course their babies would be extraordinary. Xiao Qi Ji is an exceptionally talented and smart cubbie in particular. This scene was recorded at 11 last Sunday 😍❣🐼🐾🍠🍎💕
What was the white item Muriel or another keeper layed down in the grass?? Was it some sort of treat??
He looks like Bao Bao and he acts like Bei Bei!
I agree! And Douban, Bao Bao's baby looks exactly like Qi Ji too 😍❣🐼
Funny how the pear was an after thought for him. LOL It must not smell much like food to him. He looks pretty big next to the keepers! It's hard to tell sometimes exactly how big he is. The belly rub was too cute!
So what I am gathering from that email is: only members are allowed into the panda area before 9am? Strangely I just checked the website & it says you still need a timed pass. Maybe they just didn't update the site? Or do they mean timed passes are not needed for members only? I guess I better become a member before I visit!
I think he took a couple bites of the pear and was like whatever, I'd rather scratch myself 🤭 It was the first thing Mariel kept trying to offer him and he rejected it multiple times, then it was just sitting next to him as he ate everything else.
Entry passes are not required specifically for the Asia Trail where pandas live but entry passes are still required to enter the zoo. So now you can walk in and out freely from the Asia Trail during open hours. With that exclusive member access before 9. Happy panda adventures! 😍❣🐼🐾🍎🍠💕
Giant Pandas have human like behaviour, thus they are playful ,most are already semi tame ,as they were breed in China .
Yes Mei Xiang and Tian Tian were raised in China always surrounded by humans caring for them and tame, trained from babies just like Qi Ji 😍❣🐼
Why does Mei crack a piece of bamboo in half and throws it away .? Taste?
If you mean when she breaks off the base of the boo, that's because at this time of year, she eats the leaves rather than the stalk. So she'll only need the tops 😍❣🐼
Can I ask you a question Tai? I heard female voices in your video. Are you a man or a woman? I know, strange question. But, I like to know who I'm talking with! TYSM!
Not weird at all! I'm a woman and yes it's mostly my voice you hear in the videos. I always get so embarrassed hearing my own voice and lower the volume more 🤭
