会摄影的小熊猫“奶爸”

找小熊貓，喂小熊猫，拍小熊猫……济南小伙杜欣然是济南动物园小熊猫保育员，8年时间，他为动物园的小熊猫们拍摄写真2000余张，用照片记录了它们的日常起居和幸福生活。

杜欣然的母亲是济南动物园职工，从小杜欣然便常跟随母亲到动物园玩，对小动物们有着很深的感情。大学毕业后，杜欣然考入了济南动物园，跟随老师傅学习饲养小熊猫，一养就是8年。

“饲养和观赏还是有很大区别的。”杜欣然说，和只有黑白两色且憨态可掬的大熊猫不同，小熊猫有着红黑配色加环纹大尾，模样与小浣熊类似，长得精灵可爱，但其爪子特别锋利，有一定攻击性。“第一次近距离见面时，它也怕我，我也怕它。”回想起刚开始的那段时间，杜欣然说打扫卫生时只能穿着长裤长袖，别说拍照了，手里还得攥着扫帚随时防备它们。

经过一个月的朝夕相处，杜欣然和小熊猫们渐渐熟络起来。每天一大早，他将小熊猫从内笼舍放出，查看前一天投食的剩余量，观察粪便判断健康状况，打扫内笼舍，擦玻璃。随后领取当日饲料，回来清洗切分、搭配投喂。

“夏天戏水、冬天玩雪、上房上树、草地打滚发呆……”起初杜欣然只是觉得它们可爱想要记录下来，后来越拍越喜欢，一发不可收地拍了2000多张。每张照片杜欣然都视若珍宝，他把所有影像资料备份了3份，生怕丢失。这些照片串联起来，很好地记录了小熊猫们的成长变化以及身体状况。

“现在园内年龄最大的三只小熊猫已经十三岁了，相当于人类的七八十岁。”小熊猫是国家二级保护动物，数量稀少，杜欣然希望通过影像记录的方式，为动物园留下一些有用的研究资料，也能让更多人了解小熊猫，给它们更多关怀。

8年时间，杜欣然利用工作之余，通过自学提高小熊猫饲养技巧和拍摄技巧，并利用个人积蓄升级了摄影装备。谈到未来，杜欣然表示自己还会继续做好本职工作，让小熊猫们健康成长，带给游客欢乐。他也会继续拍照，让更多人爱上小熊猫。

Red Panda Keeper Skilled at Photography

Jinan boy Du Xinran is a red panda keeper at the Jinan Zoo. Over the past eight years， he has taken more than 2，000 photos of red pandas in the zoo to record their daily activities and happy life.

At first， Du Xinran just wanted to record the cuteness of red pandas. Later， with a growing interest， he took over 2，000 photos. He treasured every photo， and linked up these photos as a good record of red pandas’ growth changes and physical conditions.

Red pandas under second-grade state protection are few in number. Du Xinran hoped to leave some useful research materials for the zoo by means of recording image data， and enable more people to know about red pandas and show more concern for them. In the past eight years， he has taught himself how to improve red panda feeding skills and photography techniques in his spare time， and spent his personal savings upgrading camera equipment. He stored three backup copies of image data for fear of losing them. Speaking of the future， he said that he would continue to work as a red panda keeper， keep them healthy， and bring visitors joy. In addition， he would continue to take photos， show photos and popularize relevant knowledge to citizens in the zoo as occasion offers so as to make more people take a fancy to red pandas.
