Cleaning War: Panda Cubs vs Their NannyIt takes a LOT of patience to clean with panda cubs around. That's what a panda caretaker known as "Nanny Mei" finds out on a daily basis as she tries to clean the panda's enclosure at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.Several years ago, a video from pandapia showing Nanny Mei trying to clean up fallen leaves while a cute panda cub named Meng Lan tried to "help" her out went viral with over 20 million views. Nanny Mei won that round as she easily handled the panda cub by carrying it away upside down or pinning it to the ground with her legs.So naturally, the panda brought friends for the next match up: this time, it was Nanny Mei versus three panda cubs on the loose. "Where there are pandas, there are troubles," Nanny Mei succinctly summarized her experience.#panda #Chengdu #cleaning
