Bamboo, the staple diet of pandas, is reportedly in high demand following last month's powerful earthquake in China's Sichuan Province. Officials say there is only three to five months' supply of bamboo for the pandas to eat.
據(jù)報道，上個月四川強震過后，大熊貓的主要口糧——竹子需求量大增。相關(guān)官員說，現(xiàn)在的竹子僅夠大熊貓三到五個月的用量。
"There are many landslides which are covering the bamboo area, so basically there's no bamboo there. The amount of bamboo which can be purchased or cut has decreased sharply."
“竹子供應(yīng)地區(qū)面臨大量山體滑坡，那些地方基本已經(jīng)沒有竹子供應(yīng)鏈。能夠購買或者砍伐的竹子銳減。”
Chinese television reported on Saturday that staff at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Center were trying to find fresh supplies of bamboo. Despite the food crisis, visitor numbers to the center have returned to pre-earthquake figures. Chinese news media is also reporting that in Shifang, soldiers rescued a lion and two tigers abandoned after the quake.
中國電視臺周六報道，成都大熊貓養(yǎng)殖研究中心的工作人員正在試圖尋找新鮮竹源。盡管面臨這口糧危機，該中心的游客量已經(jīng)恢復(fù)到了震前水平。另據(jù)中國新聞媒體報道，在什邡，解放軍官兵解救了地震過后遺棄的一頭獅子和兩只老虎。
According to reports, the road to Happy Valley Zoo in Shifang was blocked by rubble and subsequent landslides, but the military managed to reach the zoo and rescued the three big cats which were all reportedly suffering from malnutrition. The lion and two tigers were more than 65 pounds underweight. Chinese television reported an endangered northeast tiger, found only in the northeastern part of China, needed urgent attention. Over 30 soldiers helped (to) carry the animals in crates for one mile from the zoo for a temporary landing spot for evacuation. Local transport then took them to another zoo for treatment.
報道說，通往什邡歡樂谷動物園的道路被碎石和隨后的山體滑坡阻斷，但是軍隊成功抵達動物園并且解救了這三只營養(yǎng)不良的大型貓科動物。這頭獅子和兩只老虎都嚴(yán)重重量不足，比正常體重低65磅。中國電視臺報道，僅存于中國東北地區(qū)的東北虎需要緊急關(guān)注。30多名士兵抬這裝這三只動物的籠子走了一里多路，把他們從動物園抬到了臨時撤離點。隨后地方運輸把它們送到另一個動物園進行治療。
