10 second trivia in terms of scientific
classification the giant panda is part
of which family
ursidai fosadai Canada or philodai
[Music]
one of the most recognizable animals in
the world giant pandas belong to the
ursidai family which is the bear family
did you know that pandas are often used
as diplomatic gifts in China Beijing
sent a panda named Yaya to a Tennessee
zoo two decades ago as a sign of
cooperation what is meant to be a bridge
of diplomacy between the two Nations has
become a point of tension though CNN
International correspondent Selena Wang
is on the ground in China with more
once a symbol of beijing's Goodwill now
the center of angry debate in China
this panda in Memphis Tennessee has
become the latest victim in worsening
U.S China tensions
Yaya arrived in America with her
Playmate Lola two decades ago as an
emblem of growing bilateral friendship
but recent videos showing the once
fluffy Panda now looking skinny with
scraggly fur has sparked outrage in
China many Chinese people and some
Animal Advocates accusing the zoo of
mistreatment
videos on Chinese social media claiming
the pandas are being abused quickly went
viral against the backdrop of growing
anti-American sentiment the rumors often
fanned by state propaganda
and meanwhile Chinese social media users
are praising these viral videos of this
panda in Russia
claiming videos of the active and
playful panda prove Russia is taking
excellent care of the Chinese bear State
TV saying the pandas are helping the
russia-china relationship Chinese and
American scientists launched a joint
investigation concluding that Yaya has a
genetic fur and skin condition that does
not impact her quality of life and has
received excellent care but that message
is not getting through outside the panda
exhibit at the Beijing zoo I asked
people if they've heard of Yaya the
panda this man says yes she's abused in
America an 11 year old boy tells me I
heard the U.S is treating the panda
poorly this man says isn't Russia taking
good care of pandas pandas are happy
over there not like in the U.S
and this man with his granddaughter
tells me pandas and Russia are very
happy why Russians and Chinese are
friends at least Russia is not
sanctioning China Yaga will soon settle
in this Beijing Zoo now China has long
used its pandas as a diplomatic tour
currently it's pandas are loan to about
20 countries the United States has not
received one since Yaga and Lola 20
years ago now these pandas are normally
loaned on these 10-year leases and they
cost a million dollars annually the
Memphis Zoo had already planned to send
Yaya and Lola back to Beijing this
spring because their lease is expiring
but Lilla died of heart disease two
months ago at the age of 24. the average
lifespan for pandas is usually under 30
Years yet that didn't stop rampant
speculation and led to an explosion of
accusations about Yaya's treatment too
accelerating calls to bring Yaya back to
China
featured on billboards from New York
City to major cities across China
in 1972 during U.S president Richard
Nixon's historic trip to China his wife
visited pandas in Beijing on behalf of
the people of the United States I am
pleased to be here and accept the
precious gift months later China sent a
pair of pandas to the National Zoo in
Washington D.C
now decades later this pandas returned
from the U.S to China symbolic not a
growing friendship but growing animosity
between two Global superpowers Selena
Wang CNN Beijing
thank you
next up have you ever heard the saying
birds of a feather video chat together I
certainly hadn't but today's story
getting a 10 out of 10 is about some
parents causing quite the kerfuffle by
taking video chatting to the next level
apparently they were taught not how to
ask for a cracker but how to ask for a
device to talk with their parrot friends
researchers study parent behavior during
these conversations and came up with
some unexpected conclusions our very own
Genie Moss has more
Polly wants a cracker parrot owners are
asking if Polly wants a video chat
you wanna say hi
do you want to talk to her
you do okay
it's enough to make a lonely parrot Bob
its head with excitement and a paper
titled birds of a feather video flock
together researchers describe teaching
18 pet parrots to ring a bell
when they rang the bell they were
presented with a tablet which friend
would you like to call and given a
choice of parrots for a video chat you
want to call Rosie over a three-month
period
oh Sammy okay parents made 147 requests
for video calls good job that's Georgie
some birds got called a lot we had a lot
of VIP Birds some cold some birds got
called less the ones who got called the
most were the ones who also made the
most calls the researchers could tell
the birds were truly engaged because
they preened together tried to touch one
another imitated each other and even
sort of sang
[Music]
okay so maybe there were no Love Struck
movie moments
she's beautiful but if you're
researching parrots can there be a
greater thrill than this sometimes a
bird would accidentally call us
so sometime I was in a meeting or giving
a class or at home and I would get a
phone call from a bird imagine seeing on
your caller ID Sammy the parrot
