I think there will be some kind of ceremony when he moves to his new home.

I know his new home very well as I spent 3 weeks there looking after Mei Qing in the same enclosure and You You in the enclosure next door. From the photo it looks like some improvement works have gone on in the area.

Leopard Mountain is at the far end of the research centre and you pass the newly built enclosures to reach it.

All this talk of Bifengxia is making me very "home" sick to go visit again.
