In an interview conducted by Everland theme park, Kang Cheol-won, a veteran zookeeper known as "panda grandpa," offered reassurances to fans of Fu Bao regarding recent concerns over her behavior.
Kang stated that the giant panda's actions, including rolling around her cage, were not necessarily indicative of health issues.
He attributed such behavior to Fu Bao's desire to connect with her caretakers in China or adjust to her new environment.
