Chewbacca in February
part I -Eating-
One day at the beginning of February,
Chewbacca turned into a giant panda?!
He couldn't be a giant panda, of course.
However, his breakfast was bamboo grass which was giant pandas' staple
food.
He was also given one or two pieces of sweet potatoes which he loved.
bamboo grass & Chewbacca
When I arrived, Chewbacca was sleeping in the hut.
He is usually eating breakfast or he has eaten most of it
at that time(about 9:45 a.m.).
He didn't seem to have eaten it that day........
I was worried that they didn't feed him.
After a while, bamboo grass has come!
9:50a.m.
Chewbacca, here's your breakfast!
Chewbacca seems to hear some sound. He suddenly got up and hurried here. The keeper soon arrived with something green in his hands. |
|
My breakfast has come at last! Chewbacca stood up with joy. |
|
Isn't this bamboo grass? (They say wallabies also eat bamboo grass though they don't like it very much.) |
|
I'll take it there and eat. | |
Bamboo grass is associated with giant pandas, though, the shape of it is also "blade of grass" that wombats like, isn't it? |
|
Do you think it tastes good? | |
He turned to this side again. | |
Bamboo grass is not so bad. | |
Bamboo grass is not easy to eat because the leaves are thick. | |
I'll take a rest as I'm worn out. |
|
I'm wondering if I should take a walk. | |
Now I'll go for a walk. |
Walking
Walk and walk | |
Yes, I remember. I haven't put the handle back down after playing with it. |
|
I'm wondering if I'll go up here again and play with it and then I'll put it back...... |
|
My mouth can probably touch the handle..... I try to put it back from here. |
|
More walking | |
Up to here..... | |
He stopped to make a pose?! You look a little nervous, don't you? |
|
Well, I'll go down. |
|
Can you see puddle which is frozen behind me? It's cold here. |
|
To go up or not.....he seems to think for a while. He didn't go up on it but went to eat the bamboo grass after all.. |
After 15minutes-walking
As I walked a lot, I'll eat again. | |
Yummy, yummy! | |
Zooming of eating Chewbacca | |
Well, didn't you hear any sound? |
|
Excuse me, is there anyone there? |
A keeper's there !
And.....isn't it a piece of sweet potato which Chewbacca loves?
I can still hear some sound. |
|
Ooh, what is it? (The whitish thing at Chewbacca's mouth is a piece of sweet potato.) |
|
Hi, Mr.Sweet potato, you came to me again! Do you know that I do like you? |
|
Now I have it! I must be careful not to drop it. |
|
It's ok here even if I drop it. |
|
A sweet potato is really good. | |
Now let me tell you, a sweet potato is much better than bamboo grass. |
|
Excuse me, I've eaten it all up..... Could I have more potatoes? Finished? I'm looking forward to eating for dinner. I hope there are more sweet potatoes in the house. |
Eating again
He has been digging , playing with a swinging log and
playing with the keeper with a broom for more than an hour.
After about an hour's playing, he started to eat bamboo grass again.
He seems to get hungry because he played a lot.
This part looks hard..... | |
It takes a lot of work with bamboo grass links. |
|
It seemed to be very hard for him to take the bamboo grass apart....... |
|
Well done! | |
You see, it got easy to eat. | |
I'll eat more. | |
I've had enough. |
Ready to sleep
Chewbacca, who was rounded like a stone, had a sleep on the stone-bed.
