While we all keep looking for the ideal job: journalist, doctor, architect, teacher or even football player, working as a panda bear caretaker could be a wonderful yet demanding choice.
Giant panda cubs are adorable fluff balls that squeak and squeal. This
endangered species is also incredibly tricky to breed and raise in
captivity. In the 1960s, only 30 percent of infant pandas born at
breeding centers survived. Today 90 percent survive.
The video below shows how baby pandas are successfully raised and bred in captivity in a panda bear center in China before being released into the wild.
Ying Hua was abandoned by her mother after only a few days and is being
hand reared. This highly intensive conservation job means that the
keeper has to mimic the absent mother's every behaviour.
Maybe next time when someone asks you what you want to be when you grow up, you won't hesitate.
