    大熊猫萌兰,小名么么儿,外号“西直门三太子”

    The giant panda Meng Lan, nicknamed Memer, or "The Third Prince of Xizhimen".

    它多才多艺,擅长仰卧起坐,还拥有独门功夫“一字马”

    He is quite versatile, good at sit-ups and has a unique kung-fu skill: "one-character horse".

    它富有爱心,结交鸟类朋友,将它们养得圆圆滚滚。

    He is also compassionate, making friends with birds, and feed them well.

    最值得一提的是,它头脑聪明、百折不挠,多次谋划“离家出走”,还一度“越狱”成功。

    But the most noteworthy thing is that he is smart and persist, has planned to "leave home" for several times, and once made a successful "jailbreak".

    当年,萌兰从四川成都大熊猫繁育研究基地送往北京动物园,长时间照顾它的饲养员奶爸张粤未能到现场送别。于是,不少网友猜测:“萌兰想翻墙出来,会不会就是想去四川找奶爸啊!”

    When Meng Lan was sent to the Beijing Zoo from the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province, Zhang Yue, the keeper who had been taking care of him for a long time, was unable to be there to say goodbye. Thus, many netizens speculate: "Meng Lan wanted to climb out of the wall to go to Sichuan and find the manny?"

    “发箍奶爸”是如何炼成的

    张粤是成都人,2012年,专业对口的他通过应聘,成为大熊猫基地一名饲养员。

    Zhang Yue, a native of Chengdu, became a keeper at the Giant Panda Research Base in 2012.

    萌兰一岁左右时,张粤成了它的奶爸。他习惯将萌兰唤作“么么儿”,“么么儿每次看见我就过来扑我,所以他们都说这是我宝贝儿子。”

    When Meng Lan was about one year old, Zhang Yue became his manny. He used to call Meng Lan "Memer", "Memer came to me every time he saw me, so everyone said this is my baby son."

    朝夕相处中,张粤发现,萌兰格外调皮,甚至有不少“小心思”。

    In their daily life, Zhang Yue found that Meng Lan is extraordinarily mischievous, and even has a lot of "schemes".

    洗澡的时候,它会等奶爸靠近了才抖身子,溅起水花。它还经常主动挑衅“熊友”,“挑起事端”后又快速逃离现场。它甚至能和奶爸“无缝交流”。

    When taking a bath, he would wait for his manny to get close before shaking his body and splashing water. He also takes the initiative to provoke "bear friends", and then fled quickly. He can even "chat" with his manny.

    事无巨细地照顾“熊孩子”,张粤一度忙到没时间理发。为方便,他干脆戴上了发箍干活,因此成了不少网友口中的“发箍奶爸”。

    Zhang Yue was so busy taking care of his “wild kid" that he didn't have time to cut his hair. For convenience, he wore a hair band and thus became "hair band manny", named by a lot of netizens.

    为了“离家出走”,萌兰有多努力?

    2017年,萌兰离开成都大熊猫繁育研究基地,来到了北京动物园。这几年,由于工作原因,张粤一直没机会来北京看“么么儿”。

    In 2017, Meng Lan left the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding and came to the Beijing Zoo. In the past few years, due to the work, Zhang Yue has not had the opportunity to come to Beijing to visit "Memer".

    “现在网络很发达,我一直关注着它的动态。我们之间的感情一直都在。”

    "I've been paying attention to him on the internet. We still have a good relationship"

    2021年12月15日,萌兰迎来“熊生”中的高光时刻——成功“越狱”。

    On December 15, 2021, Meng Lan celebrated the highlight of his "bear life" — his successful "jailbreak".

    张粤并不意外:“干这些事,它从小就有迹可循。”

    Zhang Yue is not surprised: "He has been doing these things since he was a child."

    比如,幼年萌兰也会为自己寻找“垫脚石”。

    For example, the young Meng Lan also found "stepping stones" for himself to climb.

    它还会模仿饲养员,悄悄练习开门技术。

    He can also imitate the breeder and practice the door opening technique secretly.

    甚至,萌兰还曾默默将熊爪伸向饲养员的钥匙。

    And even, Meng Lan had silently put his bear's paw to the keeper's key.

    “很多网友猜测它‘越狱’是为了见我,但我觉得原因没那么复杂,就是它太调皮了。”

    "Many netizens speculate that he 'escaped from prison' to see me, but I think the reason is not that complicated, just that he is too naughty."

    萌兰被奶爸在线“催婚”

    十余年里,张粤照顾过至少五六十只大熊猫。

    In more than a decade, Zhang Yue has taken care of at least fifty to sixty giant pandas.

    奶爸的日常工作要很细致,比如,他要注意场地打扫的顺序;要收集、记录大熊猫的粪便,通过颜色、重量判断它们的进食情况……

    The daily work of a manny has to be meticulous, for example, he has to pay attention to the order when cleaning the site; he has to collect and record the feces of pandas, and examine their feeding situation by the color and weight ...

    他会不定期给熊猫制作一些新的玩具,避免大熊猫出现刻板化行为;有时遇上大熊猫谈恋爱或者生产,就需要时刻看守;他喜欢与大熊猫唠嗑;偶尔,他们身上也会被这些食铁兽留下“爱的印记”……

    He makes some toys for pandas to avoid stereotypical behaviors; sometimes he needs to keep watch over when pandas fall in love or give birth; he likes to natter with pandas; occasionally, they will be left with "love marks" by these "beasts"...

    张粤说,自己目前最大的愿望,就是希望每一只大熊猫都健健康康,同时,他也期盼已经成年的萌兰,早日升级当爸爸。“将来有机会,我一定会去看看它。”

    Zhang Yue said that his biggest wish is to see every giant panda in good health, and he also hopes that Mengl Lan, who is already an adult, will be upgraded to a father soon. "In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to visit him."
