Fubao, who was nervous, suddenly "closed"...Doubts are growing on the pan. [Now News]

The panda base, which said there was no health problem for the giant panda Fu Bao repatriated to China, suddenly took Fu Bao private, sparking controversy.

On the 31st, China's Warong Giant Panda One Athletes' Ping Base in Sichuan Province announced on its social media (SNS) Weibo that "Fu Bao has moved to the non-city area for observation and recovery."

The base said Fubao had increased his appetite and felt better over the past few days, but explained that he had moved to a non-visual area since that day to reduce outside interference and continuously observe health care.

However, it did not say when Fubao will be open to the public again.

Earlier, the base announced that construction such as roads will be carried out from the 7th to the 31st of last month and the base will be closed for safety reasons.

At that time, renovations had already been underway inside and outside the base for months, but fans raised suspicions that the closure of the base was related to Fubao's health problems.

In the same month, there were a number of videos showing Fu Bao shaking and twitching while eating bamboo shoots, further amplifying the suspicion.

At the time, the base said, "Shortly after abnormal symptoms were found in Pubao, keepers and veterinarians were placed to closely observe them 24 hours a day," adding, "Pubao's appetite, movement, and bowel activities are all normal." However, it did not say what specific signs of abnormalities appeared in Fubao or whether the cause was investigated.Through a media outlet

, a video of Fubao staying healthy was released. The video showed Fubao eating carrots and bamboo in the inner room, but the appearance of him lying in the corner of the cage caused fans to feel sorry.

However, as Fubao moves to non-city zones upon the reopening of the base, related allegations are unlikely to be resolved.

Meanwhile, another giant panda, Cao Cao, is reportedly sitting in place of Fu Bao's original residence.
