Giant Panda breeders' daily agendas

Breeders try their best to help giant panda cubs become stronger. They put apples and bananas on bamboos to entice the pandas to try to grab the delicious treats. Breeders also hide food in the corners of the playground, in caves or on tree branches to encourage the pandas to exercise as they forage and play. [Photo: scol.com.cn]
