For giant pandas, bamboo shoots are not just delicious delicacies, but also precious gifts bestowed by nature. Every bite of the sweet and juicy bamboo shoots is filled with the fresh sweetness of spring, and at the same time, it replenishes energy for the pandas. Looking at their way of eating with great enjoyment, who can fail to be touched by this love for food?

Ai Jiu and Run Yue are savoring this gift from nature, and they are quite particular about eating bamboo shoots. Like experienced gourmets, they first peel off the bamboo shoot shells with their sharp teeth, leaving only the most tender hearts. When they encounter thick spring bamboo shoots, they will even use all their strength to break the bamboo shoots into small sections for careful tasting.

Look! Run Yue was the first to occupy the spot with the most bamboo shoots placed, and plopped down on the perch to guard the bamboo shoots behind it. She held the bamboo shoot firmly with her two round paws, narrowed her eyes, and took a bite with a "crunch!" Some tiny bamboo shoot residues stuck to the corner of her mouth, and she nibbled on the bamboo shoot heart with a "smack-smack" sound, looking very content.

Run Yue narrows her eyes slightly, savoring the sweet taste of the bamboo shoot to her heart’s content.
 

Run Yue keeps eating one bamboo shoot after another, and simply can’t stop.
 

Ai Jiu, on the other hand, is more casual. No matter where the bamboo shoots are placed, you can see her wandering slowly in search of them going with the flow is her style.
