In recent years, they have become popular on major social networks, and some well-known individual pandas even have their own fan groups. In order to introduce you to the Internet celebrities in the panda world, Animal Encyclopedia ranks the top ten panda Internet celebrities for you today, including Hehua, Menglan, Feiyun, Fubao, Xiangxiang, Fushun, Meilan, etc. Which one do you like best?
1. Hehua (the top female star in the panda world)
As we all know, Hehua (also known as "Huahua") is one of the most famous pandas. She is highly recognizable, with pure white fur, a plump body, and a less obvious neck. She is smaller than other pandas and sits like a triangular rice ball. Her various actions, whether eating, lying down or rolling, can attract countless fans to watch and discuss. Many fans would even start queuing up at around 6 a.m. just to see her as soon as the park opens. In 2023, she became popular on multiple social platforms. "Panda and Flower" successively topped the list of hot searches on multiple platforms, and has occupied the top position for a long time. She successfully raised the profile of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding with her personal charm, and ticket sales soared ninefold. She is also the first panda to have super-topic discussions on social platforms. As of November, her number of super-topic fans has reached 808,000.
2. Menglan (the third prince of Xizhimen/famous for "Prison Break")
Among the giant pandas that have attracted much attention, Menglan is also very popular. Since his childhood, he has been working hard to maintain his most popular status and avoid being considered outdated. He often adopts strange tricks to attract fans, and is a well-known little bear spirit in the panda world. For example, he often uses "I get so angry that I even throw myself down", "The magic weapon for collecting cats", "Shout Ke, Menglan trembles three times", "Menglan's counterattack life", "Pudgy Menglan and breasts" Dad's tacit dialogue," and performed stunts like playing on leaves and broomsticks. This bear spirit has become famous on the Internet for his high IQ and ability to talk to his dad in Sichuan dialect. He is a well-deserved Internet celebrity. In addition, he made news because he could not accept that he weighed more than 100 kilograms and cheated on his parents. He also became a hot topic on the Internet because of his "prison escape" incident.
3. Feiyun (the first female internet celebrity in the panda world)
Among panda stars, Feiyun is a well-deserved internet celebrity. Her father is the giant panda Lu Lu and her mother is the giant panda Feifei. Together with Jin Hu and Miao Yin, she is affectionately called the "Three Treasures of Dalian" by fans. Feiyun can be called one of the beauties in the "bear world" and is famous for her healthy and plump appearance. Not only does she have a standard head shape, a plump face, and a well-proportioned figure, she also has snow-white fur and long, curled eyelashes, which fully illustrates the coexistence of a "strong body" and a "cute appearance." She is nicknamed by fans as the "cute girl in the bear world" who "looks back, smiles and is charming, but punches Lu Zhishen to death". Her name is as powerful and beautiful as her appearance.
4. Fubao (Korean star giant panda)
Fubao, as China's national treasure animal, often undertakes diplomatic missions. Panda diplomacy is a diplomatic method in which China donates or leases giant pandas to foreign countries to enhance friendly relations. Fubao is a giant panda born in Samsung Everland in South Korea. He is loved and loved in the park and can be described as a unique existence. The keeper, Grandpa Jiang, is particularly fond of Fu Bao. He often makes various interesting toys for Fu Bao, such as garlands, guitars, flutes, glasses, and even a swing specially made for Fu Bao. This kind of treatment is unique in the entire panda world, so it is called "the giant panda with the most toys" by netizens. In addition, whenever Fubao celebrates his birthday, there will be an exclusive cake, which makes it very popular on the Internet and loved by people.
5. Xiangxiang (Japanese star giant panda)
As a giant panda born in Japan, "Xiang Xiang" is also a star in the panda world and one of the indispensable and popular pandas among the top ten Internet celebrity pandas. She was born on June 12, 2017 to the male giant panda "Bili" who came to Japan from China in 2011 and the female giant panda "Xiannv". She has been favored since birth, with 320,000 people naming her, and her growth being documented on national television. Xiang Xiang is undoubtedly one of the most popular giant pandas, making headlines in Japan many times. During the more than five years she lived in Japan, she brought as much as 53.9 billion yen (approximately 2.78 billion yuan) in benefits to Japan, contributing billions of economic benefits on average every year. Before her return to China, the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan, opened its last day to visit Xiangxiang, attracting a large number of fans who lined up to say goodbye to Xiangxiang.
6. Fushun (selected by Time Magazine)
Fushun plays an indispensable role in the giant panda inventory. On the eve of the National Day holiday in 2016, the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base ushered in an important moment, with 23 baby pandas making their first public appearance. Even though the red pandas themselves were adorable, with their round bodies, ears, and chubby black-and-white faces, everything went well at first. However, at this moment, a panda suddenly fell down. Although the keepers tried to rescue him, they were too late and we could only watch as the red panda's short legs swung in the air and eventually fell straight to the ground. This hilarious scene was recorded. This photo was later selected as Time Magazine's Picture of the Year in 2016. Fushun became famous because of this embarrassing incident.
7. Meilan (blind date)
One of the top ten internet celebrity pandas that impressed me the most is Meilan. Meilan was born at the Atlanta Zoo in the United States and was initially judged to be a female. Based on this judgment, she has been raised according to female standards. Meilan usually likes to be quiet and not very active. She eats slowly, walks lazily and calmly, and always sleeps upright. Meilan has harmonious facial features, a tall body, and shiny coat. She especially has a puffy face and a unique temperament. After returning to Sichuan, he was selected as the global promotion ambassador of WWF's "Earth Hour". Subsequently, the panda base also conducted an online vote to select a boyfriend for Meilan. However, not long after, Meilan unexpectedly showed a series of characteristics of male pandas in their sexual maturity. After testing, it was discovered that Meilan turned out to be a male panda, which was a big surprise.
8. Qizai (the only brown giant panda in captivity)
Qizai, another well-known panda in the panda world, was discovered on November 1, 2009, in the Paifanggou area of Sanguanmiao, Foping National Nature Reserve, Shaanxi Province. Its appearance has subverted people's understanding of pandas. Its unique hair color has attracted the attention of countless tourists because its hair is naturally brown. Some netizens even joked that the color of its hair turned like this when it was born because it ran out of ink. What’s even more surprising is that when it was discovered, the red panda was only two months old and was covered in parasites. Fortunately, under the careful care of researchers, Qizai has fully recovered and regained health. This experience made Qizai one of the most popular celebrity pandas and left a deep impression on people.
9. Yaya (Giant Panda Living in the United States)
Unlike other internet celebrity pandas, Yaya’s reputation has made many netizens anxious. On January 20, 2021, some netizens broke the news that the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee, USA, was suspected of not caring for the giant pandas Yaya and Lele well. Yaya looked skinny and may have serious stereotyped behaviors. The whistleblower also claimed that the environment they live in is harsh and fresh bamboo for consumption is also very scarce. The health and living conditions of the two giant pandas have attracted widespread attention. Subsequently, on February 3, 2023, Lele, a male giant panda living in the United States, passed away. This news aroused heated discussion among netizens. Recent photos of Yaya, another giant panda who arrived in the United States with Lele in 2003, also aroused concerns among netizens, who called for Yaya to be brought back to China as soon as possible. Finally, at 0:43 on May 29, "Yaya" returned to the Giant Panda House of Beijing Zoo.
10. Qiyi (Thigh-hugging internet celebrity)
Many pandas have become famous on the Internet because of their cute behaviors, such as Fu Shun who fell upside down, Meng Lan who escaped from prison, and "Qi Yi" is famous for hugging his thighs. Holding the thighs is actually a basic habit of giant panda babies, and they basically like to do this. But "Qi Yi" is different from other giant pandas in that he is particularly persistent in hugging his legs. If it fails to pick up the leg, it will keep chasing the daddy until it is picked up, showing its perseverance. In addition to hugging its thighs, it also likes to fall. When walking, it will pretend to fall and then roll on the ground. In February 2017, after the video of "Qi Yi" hugging his dad's thigh was exposed online, he instantly became a veritable internet celebrity, conquering panda fans around the world and quickly winning the hearts of thousands of panda lovers.
