We're giving you an in depth look at what goes into the daily care of our giant pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le. Join Jessica as she spends a day in the life with our panda keepers.
LeLe died due to the zoo's blatant neglect and lack of care. Memphis Zoo needs to be held accountable and must reveal all of LeLe's medical records and his cause of death to the public.
@@Specogecko oh yes, it’s non-for profit, as long as the rent and salaries are paid out of the zoo’s sales of tickets, no need to care about animals welfare.
Shame for you, the way Memphis Zoo treating pandas is abuse. The beautiful animals were not getting the care they deserve. The bamboo they were given looked stale and it was clear that the zookeepers were not treating them with the love and attention they need. The zookeeper responsible for the pandas should be fired, like, ASAP. I mean, it's obvious that this person has no passion for the animals and doesn't deserve to be taking care of them. If you look at how pandas are treated in other regions like Sichuan, Japan, and South Korea, you can see that they are treated like family. They go above and beyond to give pandas the best possible care. The Memphis Zoo could seriously learn a thing or two from them. I hope the zoo takes action and starts giving these pandas the love and care they deserve.
People mad at the zoo for Lele's death forget she was 25 years old and pandas generally only make it to 20 in the wild and 30 if they're lucky in captivity. It's not like China does any better, they have videos of dogs they painted black and white to look like pandas just as abusive if not more abusive than anything Memphis zoo has ever done.
Lele I’m sorry for you. All of China are all mourning for your death. I know that you were abused and sad, and maybe stepping into heaven was a better choice than you. Hey Yaya, I know it’s harsh and bad, but we’re doing our best trying to get you home alright? All of China including us LOVES YOU! You got this! Two months! Just two months and I know when you get home you’ll be living THE BEST LIFE EVER! By the way do you miss the penpen milk? Haha TanYeYe will treat you so well with HeHua and you can hang out with the other babies😊. Just two more months! You got this!
And how does China treat Uyghurs? By imposing a 9 year genocide. These pandas are cared for and loved. Shouldn’t use these animals as a politically motivated “chess piece” for hate.
Even this video shows such a “ great” job you have done. These two pandas obviously are the worst condition panda I have ever seen in my whole life. This is being said. Please be professional.
Zookeeper and zoologist are afraid of panda, dare not play and interact with panda. Since afraid of them, they just vegetarian, not a meat eater, then u all should afraid of dogs.
@@Specogecko She was born with skin disease? Get real man, China only sends healthy pandas over sea , both pandas were in good health when they were delivered to the State . The first 10 years Both pandas were in good condition, then both pandas got infected with skin disease under the care of Memphis Zoo OK! They need fresh bamboo, water, constant sanitizer and love .
These are the worst shapes of pandas I have seen in my life. If you don't know how to take care of the pandas, please send them back to where they belong. Please be professional and kind human being, and do your job!
Shame on Memphis Zoo. As a dog owner, I know Ya Ya and Le Le didn't get fresh, healthy and enough food. Please treat YaYa better before she leaves for home. Provide her with daily snacks like apples and pumpkins like other pandas in Japan and Korea.
No, they just keep giving very dry and old bamboo to YaYa like before and they do not care about all the comments and condemn from social media. They work as animal keeper, but they are very cruel. Animals are very innocent and honest and how cruel you can be to abuse them. Animal keepers from Memphis zoo have psychology issues.
Yaya’s zoo keeper even kicked and threw yaya’s bamboo in a hateful way. Lele and yaya had been captured begging for food so many times in a tiny cage, but the staff just totally ignored them and chatted happily right beside. All those videos are literally from the zoo’s surveillance camera! Yaya’s vet claimed that yaya didn’t show any signs of discomfort and itching regarding to her severe skin condition, unbelievable!
Memphis Zoo did a terrible job for not taking care of both pandas. In less than a year since this video was taken, Le Le passed away just before she was supposed to return to China. The Zoo has a lot to answer for Le Le death. Let's hope Ya Ya can return safely to China . She deserves it. Canadian Zoo sent back their pandas to China in 2020 because the Zoo couldn't get fresh bamboo for the pandas due to covid19.
Our pandas in Scotland came to end of their loan this year and a load of fresh bamboo went with them and that zoo killed poor LeLe and Ya Ya is safe back home and doing okay now
The quantity and quality of bamboo they provide are totally different level compared with that in China..Lele and Yaya, they looks malnourished..They are kept in the indoor environment the whole day... (no matter it is inside the cage or outside the cage..) Please return the pandas to China when the contract with China ends in April 2023, so they can live out their final years peacefully and free of suffering in a specialized panda refuge.
Unfortunatly, Le Le passed away. The zoo carries complete fault, and to this date, Memphis Zoo nor its management deeply regrets and apologizes for Le Le, and its been nearly 1 month now, they wouldn't release anything further about Le Le's body. Everyone's hope are on Ya Ya could survive this dangerous and torture 1 month at Memphis, before she could finally return to China in April 2023. Unfortunatly, Memphis still wants a 2nd pair of panda, and we are just afriad, in many years later, the same will occur to the new panda. :(
I think South Korea's panda couple Lebao & Aibao together with their daughter Fubao is the healthiest, spoiled rotten & smart pandas i've seen among the loaned pandas. They were feed 15 kilos of bamboo every 3 hours even through the whole night. They have carrots, bamboo shoots, apples & wotou (nutritional bread personally baked by the 2 head keepers, not store bought) too. Spacious outdoor play ground with waterfalls & bamboo plants around, air-conditioned in-door playground with ice bed & tiled air-conditioned bedrooms (2 each) with water fountain & being cleaned everytime they went out. Has medical team for their monthly health check ups, dental, temperature & weight check by the head keeper before going out. The panda couple also had their hormones check during their heat period. The Bao family is smart & trustful with the keepers too. The head keepers is very knowledgeable & very hands on with the panda toys, enrichment & enhancement training. PS. RIP LeLe. You're in a much better place now. Be happy & watch over YaYa. 😥
Thank you for your kind words and support against Ya Ya and Le Le. Le Le has definitely gone back to Panda Land, where it would meet its family members, espicially its mother Xin Xing and have a peaceful and deserved rest from its long and tortured journey at Mephis. God and Buddha would definitely praise Ya Ya until she safely passes this dreadful journey and returns to China soon in April.
@@Allnipponairwaysforever Thank you too. I'll pray for YaYa's health & safe journey back to her homeland. Hope she'll have a happier & healthier life ahead which she deserve..
@@elinalim7053 yes. They're definitely spoiled rotten not just in material things wise & foods but indeed love & care too.. Grandpa Kang even sometimes ask the visitors to interact verbally with the Bao Family. 😊
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e 22 is not old for human kept pandas. Pandas could live up to 35 years . Zoo pandas generally live to 30s. Ya Ya is apparently sick and starving!
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e she is abused and not taken care of! They are not fed, they have nothing to play with, and just simply compare to YangYang in the Atlanta zoo! She is abused and sick and hungry and sick and she is self harming and she has committed suicide. Chinese experts have arrived one day ago at Memphis, and they are at LEAST getting a little food which I’m grateful for
It is so heartbreaking looking at recent videos of Ya ya & Le le. Please send them back in good condition! They both are too skinny! They are not super old and the state they are currently in right now really breaks my heart! Bad environment, pandas begging for food, dental issue.
Here is the full story about yaya and lele So, America have wanted a panda for quite a while and finally at 2003 they got YaYa and LeLe, Yaya and Lele was very healthy and chubby at the first few year at memphis zoo. Then yaya got pregnant at 2007 january, memphis zoo was very happy and excited and treated yaya pretty good. But then they found out Yaya miscarried her baby, and because of that america needs to pay a lot of money, and I think they weren’t happy about that and they started treating Yaya and Lele unfairly. We all know panda's likes to eat bamboo’s and fruits right? Memphis zoo do give them bamboos but they are not fresh at all! they sold all the fresh bamboo to canada and Yaya and Lele only have dried and thin bamboo! they actually weren’t even edible! An average panda eats up to 26-84 pounds of bamboo per day, but memphis zoo only give about 24 pounds of bad, thin bamboo for both Yaya and Lele. That caused Yaya and Lele being skinny and having health issues, panda is not suppose to look like that! Other pandas gets treats like apples and grapes but Yaya and Lele only get about a few piece of grape, they have had a few single bite of an apple. Because of that some zoo keepers also mistreat them, they never play with them, or hug them! If you see the Memphis zoo live camera some zoo keepers even kick Yaya and Lele now and before. Some of us know Yaya and Lele have an outside yard but I have never seen them out there! Do you want to know why? because Yaya and Lele is locked in that small room and is only let out twice! And that caused Yaya and Lele to have mental problems and stress problems and is known to be called Zoochosis, they bang their head up and down for hours, walk in circles continuously, that is not how a normal panda should behave! Yaya and Lele apear lonely, skinny, stressed, and dirty. Yaya and Lele have SO many sicknesses and diseases and Infection we could lost count! Some people might say how do zookeepers mistreat them? Well, there is a real time where is halloween and the memphis zoo is suppose to give each animal a pumpkin as an reward, they gave all the animals a slice of pumpkin, but guess what? They did not give Yaya and Lele one, Yaya and Lele had to watch other animals eating that delicious slice of pumpkin..., if you all check the panda at Japan, treated SO well, they even collected XiangXiangs poop. And also russia, we know russia is not in a good place right now but we can't deny that they treat our panda well, Yuan Run was 200 pound when he was sent to russia, but now he is 240 pounds, we all know a panda should weigh about 120-250 pounds, but yaya and lele only weighs about 80 pounds. Also the Korean panda Fubao, the zookeeper treated Fubao as his own grandson, just about 2 years he made over 60 toys for fubao, and even taught him chinese because he was scared fubao dont know chinese. And the rest of the pandas is living their best lives out there. We also should not for get the other American Panda Meixiang, i dont know much about MeiXiang but I know she is mistreated, and she don't even get bamboos sometimes, they feed her ice. Yes i know, Ice. MeiXiang even had to eat ice at winter. Now Lele is gone...China have the right to get Leles body back, it is the law to get Lele back, but instead of returning Lele, they turned Lele into a taxidermist and is put into a museum... OUTRAGED THAT MEMPHIS ZOO STILL WANTS 2 MORE HEALTHIER AND YOUNGER PANDAS, HUH, AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO LELE AND YAYA, YOU WISH YOU CAN! Thankyou for taking your time reading this, I teared up even writing this knowing how Yaya and Lele and Meixiang is treated... But Yaya is going to come back hopefully next month! We will be so happy! Welcome come Yaya and Lele! Thankyou so much for the supports! Investors is already helping yaya so no need to worry! Who else is excited seeing yaya trying apples and grapes and fresh thick bamboos for the first time after these much years! 😢😊 #SAVELELEYAYA #LETYAYALELEGOHOME #YOUCANDOITLELEYAYA #LELEYAYAPANDA #HELPYAYALELE #SAVEMEIXIANG #GIVEPANDAFRESHFOOD #TREATPANDAWELL #WELOVEPANDA #WELOVEYAYALELE #WELOVEMEIXIANG #SUPPORTAMERIANPANDA
@@user-sj6qi1qe6l Hi, I translated your comment, yaya is definitely not getting better but not getting worst. Lets hope for the best that yaya can stick until next month!
While watching a video about the care of the pandas at the Memphis Zoo, I overheard one of the female curators refer to the remaining panda as a "silly girl." This comment troubled me deeply, as I believe it's important to approach those who are suffering with empathy and sensitivity. It's worth noting that the remaining panda lost her companion while under their care last year and now finds herself alone at the Memphis Zoo. This is undoubtedly a difficult and lonely situation for her, as she is far from her natural habitat and missing the companionship of her fellow pandas. As private citizens, it's our responsibility to show compassion and understanding towards all creatures in our care. We should be striving to provide the best possible living conditions for this remaining panda, rather than acting out of a sense of superiority or jealousy. Let's do everything we can to ensure that she receives the care and attention she deserves, and work towards a more compassionate and caring society for all beings.
If the female curator called the remaining panda as "silly girl", she chose the wrong career for herself and is foolish and pathetic. If you do not have love and empathy for animals, please find another job and pretend that you care for animals, but actually you are killing them due to your neglect at your duty.
I would like to ask you if it is true that this is the feeding policy of Memphis zoo ? Their daily feeding is almost like this: everyday, the keepers give both pandas two bunches of bamboo in the beginning. When they see they beg for food, usually they will try bamboo culm first. if the pandas don't eat, they'll try another bamboo culm, and after 2-5 times of failure, they may feed cookies instead. LeLe usually gets more cookies than YaYa and he usually will ask for cookies before he sits down and eats the bamboo unless the bamboo he receives is very pleased with his appetite. And during the whole day, if the first 2 bunches of bamboo are left a lot, they won't clean the house and offer new bunches, Instead, they let the pandas beg, wait, and they will try bamboo culm at the door, piece by piece, or offering cookies to comfort them a bit and push them to eat the bamboo given to them. If things don't work and pandas keep begging, they'll consider cleaning the house and offer one more bunch of bamboo after finishing the cleaning. So the pandas get 2 or utmost 3 bunches of bamboo every day, and they usually only eat 1/3-1/2 of the bamboo they receive. I saw it from the panda cam.
The Memphis Zoo needs to respond to the inquiries into the health of their remaining Panda. Animal neglect in every case is abhorrent, but ESPECIALLY an endangered species entrusted to ALL OF US but another country.
No amount of lies can cover up the cruel and disgusting fact. I have never seen such a weak giant panda. The strongest and healthiest man at the Memphis Zoo is the keeper, which is hilarious.
Yaya was born with a medical condition that made her skinny from birth, ever officials in China have said the same thing. It doesn't matter how much food Yaya gets, she'll always look mangy/skinny.
Thank you for this video. But the culm looks very hard to eat. In the other zoo I saw it was cut into strip make it easy to eat. I watch panda cam and see them beg for food very often and very long time before the keepers come, they look so stress. Why don't you give them extra food in their dayroom so they don't have to beg for so long?
They don't have any trouble eating. Last week I saw lele rip open a very big strong looking piece of bamboo in half eith his bare paws. They are not stressed in the least, i practically lived in fromt of their enclosure for a week lol. Lele got enrichment snacks through the bars after his lunch and he was not constantly begging and wasn't stressed. Yaya was napping a lot as she's 22 and that's elderly for a panda. The 20 year lease is almost up so lele and yaya are going to back to china soon to love the rest pf their pives in china. Idk if the memphis zoo will get new pandas after lele and yaya leave, I guess time will tell.
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e Please learn more knowledge about this spice and check out how other countries take care of them before you speak. Do not spread misleading information here. You don't even know that Yaya has lost her baby so many times and has been electrified for eggs by the zoo. When she has no use anymore, the zoo just abandoned her. I am watching the online cam 24/7 these days and it is hell for Yaya.
If google photos of panda in memphis zoo, they are sickly skinny bony dirty. Animal abuse should not be allowed. Animals are innocent and vulnerable as children, they don't know politics. Both panda suffer from maltreatment and neglect.. we have pets like old dogs or cats are they skinny like that, are their fur tangled like that, do we help or ignore them if their teeth broken their fur infected? Now one has starved dead, do we continue being standerbys and watch the other one dying soon?
I never see a checkup behind the cage. Does it hurt for you to hug or be inside the cage with Yaya. This alone shows there is no love or connection but just doing her job.
Panda Yangyang and Lun Lun in Atlantics Zoo are elder than Yaya, check their appearance and you will understand what is a healthy panda at the age of 25+
to menphis zoo: you killed lele, an innocent animal. how disgusting is that? lele was sick and starving !!! !!! please give enough and nice food to yaya as we are watching live everyday !!!
These were pandas in China's facility care. They are on rent from China for $1 million each. It sounds bizarre but this is true, China actually rents out the pandas in its care.
@@HonestlyAnnaFun yes, and they have VERY strict rules about them. For example: you need at least like 30 or something acres of bamboo farms, you need to return the babies when they are 2. You CANNOT BUY THEM, only renting. And so much more. As you can see that is as Chinese are really on with their lives and we obviously want them to live like a little angel
Even if the food is like dry grass, YAYA have to work hard to eat it, because she don't want to die here! She want to go home alive and bring her Lele home!!!
Dear, Please safe panda Ya Ya and return her to home in order to get medical health care and a good and quality food. It should be late if postpone their departure. If Memphis Zoo continue to treat her on the same way as Le Le it should be ensured her death! I hope that you maximum engage to safe her.Thanks in advance!
Poor panda, the saddest panda I ever see, the zoo did a terrible job to take care of them, this environment is not suitable for pandas, the pandas deserve fresh tender bamboo , they need care not lock in the cage
Everything is so on paper. Yes you track the historical data and you've got a whole ton of them, so what? Doesn't change the fact that they don't look like happy, healthy pandas. So please, apply some common sense and help these poor creatures get better
Please be kind to Yaya!!!! And send her home as soon as possible!!! I don't want to see what happened to Lele happened to her again, it's just so heartbreaking!!!!
Poor Yaya lived in your zoo skinny and sick. Lele has passed away. If you don't like them, you can't be so indifferent to them, so bad! I don't know how much they have suffered and how they have spent the past twenty years. You are not eligible to rent giant pandas! ! Strongly request to return to China! !
It seems like these ladies in this video were doing a great job and were hard working at work, BUT WHY ARE THESE PANDAS SO SICK?! Gee, I've seen wild polar bears struggling between icebergs in healthier condition than these ZOO KEPT pandas!
@@Bk6346 Pandas at the Atlanta Zoo are taken great care of too. They look so healthy and happy and strong. Memphis zoo is such a disgrace. They don’t deserve animals.

Even there you can see the poor condition Ya Yas coat is in its if she’s been scratching and rubbing reminds me of mange you see in dogs this breaks my heart
I noticed that this video don’t really show YaYa under the light. It’s like they are hiding the condition of YaYa, they mostly show LeLe under bright light throughout the video. I’m surprised that their Den is so small in compared with Seoul’s Everland Bao Family.
Please wake up and see how bad the living conditions and food shortages on these pandas. These people just pretend to be professional and friendly in front of cameras to get your donation.
It's about time China takes these two back before that zoo kills them. We always went a few times a year and not once did we ever see them out in the open playing they were always in that tiny room behind the glass
This zoo abuses animals! Abuse of panda yaya, panda yaya does not have enough and fresh food, sickness is not treated! The keepers even mistreat the pandas! Please return panda yaya to China as soon as possible and don't kill her! You have already killed a panda, Lele!
Thank you for showing us the behind the scenes at how you all take care of both Ya Ya and Le Le! Are there any plans to add cameras to the public when they're sleeping at night?
Taking a good care by starving them, caging them? These people just acting to be professional and kindhearted. If they don’t pretend, how can they get donations from you people?
I would like to ask the zoo why Lele died, why there was no warning before Lele died, was the zoo deliberately concealing it, why no veterinarian treated Lele, and why no veterinarian treated YAYA.
They are. They're borroed from china and the 20 year lease is almost up and yaya and lele willbe zhipped back to china ehere they'll live the rest of their lives
People mad at the zoo for Lele's death forget she was 25 years old and pandas generally only make it to 20 in the wild and 30 if they're lucky in captivity. It's not like China does any better, they have videos of dogs they painted black and white to look like pandas just as abusive if not more abusive than anything Memphis zoo has ever done.
Shameful Zoo. If you really care about Le Le and Ya Ya, why would've Le Le passed away? Le Le is starving as well. 1) Take care of Ya Ya. We will continuous to pressure on you, until she gets return to China. 2) Sincerely pologizes from the CEO, Keepers. Explain the true reason why have you been torturing and starving Le Le to death, and Ya Ya to danger. 3) Remove your thinks that another panda should come. Are you continuing the torture against the new pandas as you'vve done to Le Le and Ya Ya?

@@elinalim7053 yes. They're definitely spoiled rotten not just in material things wise & foods but indeed love & care too.. Grandpa Kang even sometimes ask the visitors to interact verbally with the Bao Family. 😊
Shame on Memphis Zoo .😡
Omg. This video made me cry. Seeing Yaya locked up in a small cell like being in a jail. Please send her home. She look so lonely without Lele.
I can see how dry the bamboo was when they were weighing it. 😮
These poor pandas. The zoo starved lele to death.
Both pandas are really not in good physical condition ! Hope they could be back to China as soon as possible !
Yaya was born with a medical condition that made her look mangy even spokespersons in China said that.
Ya Ya is sick, please help her, please!
She's not sick, she's old. 22 is very old for a panda and they're about to go back to china where they'll live the rest of their lives
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e 22 is not old for human kept pandas. Pandas could live up to 35 years . Zoo pandas generally live to 30s. Ya Ya is apparently sick and starving!

If we have old pet dogs or cats, we know these pandas are not just old. They are not taken care of.
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e she is abused and not taken care of! They are not fed, they have nothing to play with, and just simply compare to YangYang in the Atlanta zoo! She is abused and sick and hungry and sick and she is self harming and she has committed suicide. Chinese experts have arrived one day ago at Memphis, and they are at LEAST getting a little food which I’m grateful for
these bamboos are for furniture making, not food. would you eat your chair for dinner?
It is so heartbreaking looking at recent videos of Ya ya & Le le. Please send them back in good condition!
They both are too skinny! They are not super old and the state they are currently in right now really breaks my heart!

Here is the full story about yaya and lele
So, America have wanted a panda for quite a while and finally at 2003 they got YaYa and LeLe, Yaya and Lele was very healthy and chubby at the first few year at memphis zoo. Then yaya got pregnant at 2007 january, memphis zoo was very happy and excited and treated yaya pretty good. But then they found out Yaya miscarried her baby, and because of that america needs to pay a lot of money, and I think they weren’t happy about that and they started treating Yaya and Lele unfairly. We all know panda's likes to eat bamboo’s and fruits right? Memphis zoo do give them bamboos but they are not fresh at all! they sold all the fresh bamboo to canada and Yaya and Lele only have dried and thin bamboo! they actually weren’t even edible! An average panda eats up to 26-84 pounds of bamboo per day, but memphis zoo only give about 24 pounds of bad, thin bamboo for both Yaya and Lele. That caused Yaya and Lele being skinny and having health issues, panda is not suppose to look like that! Other pandas gets treats like apples and grapes but Yaya and Lele only get about a few piece of grape, they have had a few single bite of an apple. Because of that some zoo keepers also mistreat them, they never play with them, or hug them! If you see the Memphis zoo live camera some zoo keepers even kick Yaya and Lele now and before. Some of us know Yaya and Lele have an outside yard but I have never seen them out there! Do you want to know why? because Yaya and Lele is locked in that small room and is only let out twice! And that caused Yaya and Lele to have mental problems and stress problems and is known to be called Zoochosis, they bang their head up and down for hours, walk in circles continuously, that is not how a normal panda should behave! Yaya and Lele apear lonely, skinny, stressed, and dirty. Yaya and Lele have SO many sicknesses and diseases and Infection we could lost count! Some people might say how do zookeepers mistreat them? Well, there is a real time where is halloween and the memphis zoo is suppose to give each animal a pumpkin as an reward, they gave all the animals a slice of pumpkin, but guess what? They did not give Yaya and Lele one, Yaya and Lele had to watch other animals eating that delicious slice of pumpkin..., if you all check the panda at Japan, treated SO well, they even collected XiangXiangs poop. And also russia, we know russia is not in a good place right now but we can't deny that they treat our panda well, Yuan Run was 200 pound when he was sent to russia, but now he is 240 pounds, we all know a panda should weigh about 120-250 pounds, but yaya and lele only weighs about 80 pounds. Also the Korean panda Fubao, the zookeeper treated Fubao as his own grandson, just about 2 years he made over 60 toys for fubao, and even taught him chinese because he was scared fubao dont know chinese. And the rest of the pandas is living their best lives out there. We also should not for get the other American Panda Meixiang, i dont know much about MeiXiang but I know she is mistreated, and she don't even get bamboos sometimes, they feed her ice. Yes i know, Ice. MeiXiang even had to eat ice at winter.
Now Lele is gone...China have the right to get Leles body back, it is the law to get Lele back, but instead of returning Lele, they turned Lele into a taxidermist and is put into a museum...
OUTRAGED THAT MEMPHIS ZOO STILL WANTS 2 MORE HEALTHIER AND YOUNGER PANDAS, HUH, AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO LELE AND YAYA, YOU WISH YOU CAN!
Thankyou for taking your time reading this, I teared up even writing this knowing how Yaya and Lele and Meixiang is treated...
But Yaya is going to come back hopefully next month! We will be so happy! Welcome come Yaya and Lele! Thankyou so much for the supports! Investors is already helping yaya so no need to worry! Who else is excited seeing yaya trying apples and grapes and fresh thick bamboos for the first time after these much years! 😢😊

@@user-sj6qi1qe6l Hi, I translated your comment, yaya is definitely not getting better but not getting worst. Lets hope for the best that yaya can stick until next month!
thank you for the full details hopefully yaya come back to china asap.
While watching a video about the care of the pandas at the Memphis Zoo, I overheard one of the female curators refer to the remaining panda as a "silly girl." This comment troubled me deeply, as I believe it's important to approach those who are suffering with empathy and sensitivity. It's worth noting that the remaining panda lost her companion while under their care last year and now finds herself alone at the Memphis Zoo. This is undoubtedly a difficult and lonely situation for her, as she is far from her natural habitat and missing the companionship of her fellow pandas. As private citizens, it's our responsibility to show compassion and understanding towards all creatures in our care. We should be striving to provide the best possible living conditions for this remaining panda, rather than acting out of a sense of superiority or jealousy. Let's do everything we can to ensure that she receives the care and attention she deserves, and work towards a more compassionate and caring society for all beings.
Zookeeper just provide basic physical care, don't know how to provide mentality care. They really treat the panda like a robot.
If the female curator called the remaining panda as "silly girl", she chose the wrong career for herself and is foolish and pathetic. If you do not have love and empathy for animals, please find another job and pretend that you care for animals, but actually you are killing them due to your neglect at your duty.
The panda zookeeper is pretty inept at her job. This Panda is wasting away on her watch.
@@xiwenxu8194This curator does a better job in hell!
I would like to ask you if it is true that this is the feeding policy of Memphis zoo ?
Their daily feeding is almost like this: everyday, the keepers give both pandas two bunches of bamboo in the beginning. When they see they beg for food, usually they will try bamboo culm first. if the pandas don't eat, they'll try another bamboo culm, and after 2-5 times of failure, they may feed cookies instead. LeLe usually gets more cookies than YaYa and he usually will ask for cookies before he sits down and eats the bamboo unless the bamboo he receives is very pleased with his appetite. And during the whole day, if the first 2 bunches of bamboo are left a lot, they won't clean the house and offer new bunches, Instead, they let the pandas beg, wait, and they will try bamboo culm at the door, piece by piece, or offering cookies to comfort them a bit and push them to eat the bamboo given to them. If things don't work and pandas keep begging, they'll consider cleaning the house and offer one more bunch of bamboo after finishing the cleaning. So the pandas get 2 or utmost 3 bunches of bamboo every day, and they usually only eat 1/3-1/2 of the bamboo they receive.
I saw it from the panda cam.
The bamboos they provide are NOT edible!!!!!!!! Shameless zoo keepers, criminals! They should be put in jail.
cookies? pandas are not obese American red necks
YAYA want to go home safely as soon as possible!!!
I sincerely hope anyone who abused yaya and Lele go to hell
Those space are too small for pandas 😡😡
Way way way too small
Give YAYA enough food, she want to come home alive!!!
can we investigate whether the pandas are mistreated?
Let's stop visiting Memphis Zoom after Yaya returns back home. They deserve it.
The Memphis Zoo needs to respond to the inquiries into the health of their remaining Panda. Animal neglect in every case is abhorrent, but ESPECIALLY an endangered species entrusted to ALL OF US but another country.
The keeper doesn't show any affection towards them

No amount of lies can cover up the cruel and disgusting fact. I have never seen such a weak giant panda.
The strongest and healthiest man at the Memphis Zoo is the keeper, which is hilarious.
lol, what can you expect? it is memphis, a city of fools
it is a shame to see a panda this kind of skinny. Memphis zoo you treat panda like a rat. Please fire the keepers and provide food. Shame for you!
Yaya was born with a medical condition that made her skinny from birth, ever officials in China have said the same thing. It doesn't matter how much food Yaya gets, she'll always look mangy/skinny.
Thank you for this video. But the culm looks very hard to eat. In the other zoo I saw it was cut into strip make it easy to eat.
I watch panda cam and see them beg for food very often and very long time before the keepers come, they look so stress. Why don't you give them extra food in their dayroom so they don't have to beg for so long?
True. I saw they beg for good very often from the panda cam too.
They don't have any trouble eating. Last week I saw lele rip open a very big strong looking piece of bamboo in half eith his bare paws. They are not stressed in the least, i practically lived in fromt of their enclosure for a week lol. Lele got enrichment snacks through the bars after his lunch and he was not constantly begging and wasn't stressed. Yaya was napping a lot as she's 22 and that's elderly for a panda. The 20 year lease is almost up so lele and yaya are going to back to china soon to love the rest pf their pives in china. Idk if the memphis zoo will get new pandas after lele and yaya leave, I guess time will tell.
@@user-wy6mx1hr7e Please learn more knowledge about this spice and check out how other countries take care of them before you speak. Do not spread misleading information here. You don't even know that Yaya has lost her baby so many times and has been electrified for eggs by the zoo. When she has no use anymore, the zoo just abandoned her. I am watching the online cam 24/7 these days and it is hell for Yaya.
This is so educational. I didn’t know how much it takes to take care of pandas.
you will know if you catually own a pet.
Let's YAYA go home ASAP
If google photos of panda in memphis zoo, they are sickly skinny bony dirty. Animal abuse should not be allowed. Animals are innocent and vulnerable as children, they don't know politics. Both panda suffer from maltreatment and neglect.. we have pets like old dogs or cats are they skinny like that, are their fur tangled like that, do we help or ignore them if their teeth broken their fur infected? Now one has starved dead, do we continue being standerbys and watch the other one dying soon?
LELE can't go home alive, it's you who haven't given them enough fresh food, now please give it to YAYA until she can go home safely
I never see a checkup behind the cage. Does it hurt for you to hug or be inside the cage with Yaya. This alone shows there is no love or connection but just doing her job.
Yaya made me cry, so thin. She was not given enough fresh food/fruits.
Panda Yangyang and Lun Lun in Atlantics Zoo are elder than Yaya, check their appearance and you will understand what is a healthy panda at the age of 25+
to menphis zoo: you killed lele, an innocent animal. how disgusting is that? lele was sick and starving !!! !!! please give enough and nice food to yaya as we are watching live everyday !!!
why in your zoo
Both giant pandas are sick
Send them back to China in one of the beautiful reserves where they can roam and hear the beautiful bird and enjoy nature.
These were pandas in China's facility care. They are on rent from China for $1 million each. It sounds bizarre but this is true, China actually rents out the pandas in its care.
@@HonestlyAnnaFun yes, and they have VERY strict rules about them. For example: you need at least like 30 or something acres of bamboo farms, you need to return the babies when they are 2. You CANNOT BUY THEM, only renting. And so much more. As you can see that is as Chinese are really on with their lives and we obviously want them to live like a little angel
Even if the food is like dry grass, YAYA have to work hard to eat it, because she don't want to die here! She want to go home alive and bring her Lele home!!!
Why are her friends in other countries different from she in MEMPHIS?
Why are they so skinny?!

Please safe panda Ya Ya and return her to home in order to get medical health care and a good and quality food. It should be late if postpone their departure. If Memphis Zoo continue to treat her on the same way as Le Le it should be ensured her death! I hope that you maximum engage to safe her.Thanks in advance!
please send them home
Lele: Give me back my eyeballs!!!!
Poor panda, the saddest panda I ever see, the zoo did a terrible job to take care of them, this environment is not suitable for pandas, the pandas deserve fresh tender bamboo , they need care not lock in the cage
Everything is so on paper. Yes you track the historical data and you've got a whole ton of them, so what? Doesn't change the fact that they don't look like happy, healthy pandas. So please, apply some common sense and help these poor creatures get better
When did the zoo teach Yaya to bow down to beg for food 👿? Is it after or before this program released ?
Y’all killing them pandas ! 😡
Bad conditions
Let's YaYa come back home NOW
Please be kind to Yaya!!!! And send her home as soon as possible!!! I don't want to see what happened to Lele happened to her again, it's just so heartbreaking!!!!
Poor Yaya lived in your zoo skinny and sick. Lele has passed away. If you don't like them, you can't be so indifferent to them, so bad! I don't know how much they have suffered and how they have spent the past twenty years. You are not eligible to rent giant pandas! ! Strongly request to return to China! !

they wouldn't post, cos yaya is a weak yaya now , yaya without happy and is a sick yaya. so sad , please help yaya.

I have never seen the panda in such a BAD conditions, so shame of the zoo keeper who was so proud of the so called Great job she has done.
stop keeping them in the cage all day long😭😭😭😭
I noticed that this video don’t really show YaYa under the light. It’s like they are hiding the condition of YaYa, they mostly show LeLe under bright light throughout the video. I’m surprised that their Den is so small in compared with Seoul’s Everland Bao Family.

Would love to see more behind the scenes videos! I've always been curious what the zoo looks like from the inside!
They are lying on the video. Those pandas are abused and malnutritished every single day
Please wake up and see how bad the living conditions and food shortages on these pandas. These people just pretend to be professional and friendly in front of cameras to get your donation.
Look at panda yaya,this is not a normal panda supposed to be.Memphis zoo lie.
Why memphis zoo delete all critical comments on fb and instagram about panda yaya .We are watching what you have done for lele and yaya.
It's about time China takes these two back before that zoo kills them. We always went a few times a year and not once did we ever see them out in the open playing they were always in that tiny room behind the glass
This zoo abuses animals! Abuse of panda yaya, panda yaya does not have enough and fresh food, sickness is not treated! The keepers even mistreat the pandas! Please return panda yaya to China as soon as possible and don't kill her! You have already killed a panda, Lele!
Give panda back to China
Are the pandas doing and feeling better
No, one died, and the other dying soon

Take care of ? You mean treating them like lab rats? How did your eye sight deteriorate like this?

Torture them, abuse them, that is way you treat panda ~~~~
People mad at the zoo for Lele's death forget she was 25 years old and pandas generally only make it to 20 in the wild and 30 if they're lucky in captivity. It's not like China does any better, they have videos of dogs they painted black and white to look like pandas just as abusive if not more abusive than anything Memphis zoo has ever done.
Give yaya some young bamboo to eat, poor yaya 🥺
The zoo doesn't even put effort into taking care of the two pandas, and one already ended up dead. That is not what a qualified zoo should have done.
Shameful Zoo. If you really care about Le Le and Ya Ya, why would've Le Le passed away? Le Le is starving as well.
1) Take care of Ya Ya. We will continuous to pressure on you, until she gets return to China.
2) Sincerely pologizes from the CEO, Keepers. Explain the true reason why have you been torturing and starving Le Le to death, and Ya Ya to danger.
3) Remove your thinks that another panda should come. Are you continuing the torture against the new pandas as you'vve done to Le Le and Ya Ya?
good thing I left memphis
BIG MISTAKE SENDING LELE AND YAYA TO MEMPHIS IF CHINA DID NOT SEND THEM MAYBE BOTH OF THEM STILL ALIVE NOW
The bamboos are too old!
why don't provide more kinds food, like apples, grapes, milk? The bamboo seems not fresh. Your staff are not professional in feeding animals.
