★ A photo essay about the growth of the Everland zoo baby panda Fubao
Babies are unconditionally lovely.A newborn baby, whether human or animal, disarms everyone's mind.What about Giant Panda's baby, an animal loved for its unique cuteness even as an adult?
Baby panda who has received public attention and attention since birth!It is a panda born between Aibao (♀) and Lubao (♂), a panda couple at Everland Zoo.It means more to us in that it is the first baby panda born in Korea.
The name was also named after a public contest for the entire nation and a voting event.The name is Fubao!It means "happiness-giving treasure.As the name suggests, Fubao has been giving happiness to many people since the moment he was born.We learn what coexistence is between people and animals through Pubao.In addition, by closely watching how baby pandas are born and raised, they realize the mystery of the birth and growth of life.
Usually, pandas are born prematurely with a weight of less than 200 grams and have a low initial survival rate.Maybe it's a miracle to last up to 100 days.You can see that many zookeepers and veterinarians took special care of Phubao's baby blanket, attachment dolls, baby bottles, scales, thermometers, and buckwheat pillows.Fortunately, Fubao is growing healthy and well.They're constantly messing around and making trouble.
The photo essay, which contains the life of Fubao, who is so loved that the whole nation claims to be the aunt and uncle of the baby panda Fubao, is likely to be a meaningful birthday gift for Fubao, who celebrates his one-year-old birthday.
★ The wonder of great life through baby pandas and mother pandas
Everything in the world is the first time baby panda Fubao!I'm just proud to see the tiny pubao growing up while feeding his mother's milk.Fubao, who observes the surroundings with soaring curiosity and takes on a panda-like appearance little by little, looks very similar to our children.
Then how about Mom Panda Eyebao?It's my first time being a mother, too.I'm clumsy because it's my first time, and I have no choice but to be sensitive to babysitting.But soon, my mother's motherhood rises.It wasn't taught by anyone, but Mom Panda Aibao is very calm and plays her role well.They hold the baby panda in their arms, feed it, hug it, and sleep.Of course, when you eat bamboo and bamboo shoots, you focus on eating, but you watch Fubao's behavior silently, scold him when he is in danger, protect him by his side, and roll around together when you want to play.
Watching mother Aibao and daughter Fu Bao lying, sitting, or playing affectionately on a tree gives calm comfort to the peace that comes from the order of life and nature.
★ A special book about the communication between the Everland Zoo Steel Zoo zookeeper and Fubao
As I meet a mysterious and amazing creature called the panda, I bow my head again to the greatness of nature.Where animals can't live, it's hard for humans to live.So I think about things to think about and take action today for a world where animals and humans coexist beautifully.
Out of the prologue,
The book begins with a calm narration by a zookeeper at the Everland Zoo and Steel Park, nicknamed the panda grandfather.It is not just a photo book that shows the ecology of the giant panda, but it depicts the growth period of Fubao with a warm gaze.The book also contains the blood, sweat, and tears of zookeepers trying to protect giant pandas designated as endangered animals.
The Kang Chul-won breeder, who lives as close as his mother next to Fubao, spent every moment until Fubao, born 197g, grew well over 30kg.The story of Fubao that he tells is full of affection and love as if a real grandfather was looking at his granddaughter.There seems to be no boundaries between humans and animals in the sight of the steel garden keeper and the fubao playing together.Meeting as equals in nature, communicating with each other with eyes and hearts, cherishing, and loving each other gives many people a deep resonance and impression.
★ Beautiful photos capturing every moment of Panda's life
This book is full of pictures that I keep looking into because I am fascinated by the cuteness of pandas.The panda's face and body, which look like a baby's face, make our hearts round.He is challenged by Fubao's tenacity to not give up until the end even if he climbs a tree and hangs on it, and even though he is quite big, he climbs a tall tree lightly, which makes me admire him.
Photographer Ryu Jung-hoon, who has been taking pictures for a long time in Everland's public relations team, carefully captured the life of a baby panda that is easy to miss with the birth of Fubao.His photographs of Fubao's day by day, sometimes with objective eyes and sometimes with affection, show the life of a panda.
Through Pubao, we will have a new experience of facing the life of a giant panda that we did not know well and looking at the world from the perspective of Pubao.The experience will make us think and think about the Earth, nature, life, and sustainable life that we forget.
About the author
Everland Zoo (Jieun)
Since its opening in 1976, Everland Zoo has served as an ecological education center where countless people gain unforgettable joy and emotion through communication with animals.Everland Zoo includes Lost Valley and Safari World, where you can meet herbivores such as giraffes and elephants, and predators such as lions and tigers, as well as Panda World, Albert Space Center, Tiger Valley, and Pupa Town, where you can meet world-class endangered animals such as giant pandas and red pandas.Zookeepers take care of the animals with all their heart so that they can stay healthy and well.
As a result of these efforts, Everland Zoo was internationally certified as a full member of the American Zoo Aquarium Association (AZA) for the first time in Asia in 2019, and has since been constantly striving to improve breeding technology and environment so that animals and people can become happy zoos together.Through this book, I hope that not only ecological information about animals but also the daily life of the zoo, which unfolds amid friendship and love between animals and zookeepers, will be conveyed well.
Steel Garden (Everland Zoo) (Writings)
Born in Jeonbuk on July 18, 1969, he spent his childhood in a deep mountain village.A stream flows in front of the house, and a bamboo field spreads out behind it like a folding screen, so they naturally became friends with animals and plants.After graduating from high school, he worked as a zookeeper and began to live with wild animals.Feeling thirsty for expertise in animals, I studied zoology at university, and I studied landscaping because I needed to know plants that were inseparable from animals.While in charge of apes, he studied reproductive science at graduate school to overcome the difficulties of reproduction.
In 2016, he was nicknamed the panda father when he took charge of Aibao and Lubao.Based on the knowledge and experience accumulated so far, he teamed up with various talented zookeepers and veterinarians to succeed in breeding giant pandas, and is now called panda grandfather due to the baby panda Fubao born like that.
So far, he has learned the mindset of understanding and caring for animals with various personalities and characteristics, and does not neglect to study as a zookeeper to share deep communication with animals.

He majored in photography and worked as a freelance photographer for architecture, economics, and travel monthly.He joined Samsung Everland's public relations team in 2000 and has been taking pictures until now.It continues to make efforts to capture moments of dreams, love, happiness, and excitement in the photos by recording various contents such as festivals, entertainment, attractions, food and beverage menus, zoos, golf courses, and landscaping.In particular, I am interested in recording the mother's mother's mother who takes care of her young with various facial expressions of animals or the sincerity of zookeepers who interact with animals.
