What's the happiest job in the world? Well, the answer may be a giant panda keeper! Imagine, these cute and fluffy creatures hug you and eat from your hand, would your heart be melting now?
For many, it'd be hard to turn down such a job offer from the China Research and Conservation Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP), particularly if one likes the Chinese "national treasure." Over 60% of the captive-bred pandas on earth are raised here in the largest organization of giant panda protection worldwide. Surrounded by a beautiful bamboo forest in Ya' an of southwest China's Sichuan Province, more than 200 giant pandas are taken care by their keepers.
Duan Dongqiong, a caretaker with 17-year working experiences, said the job is both an excitement and hard work.
