Move over, gym influencers—Chongqing Zoo’s giant pandas are mastering the art of \"snackercise\"! Zookeepers recently hung bamboo poles topped with fruit and veggie skewers high above enclosures, turning mealtime into a playful challenge. The fluffy black-and-white stars now stretch their hind legs daily, reaching for treats while delighting visitors with their antics.

\"It’s enrichment disguised as lunch,\" explained a zoo staffer. By mimicking how pandas forage in the wild, the setup keeps them mentally and physically active. Think of it as a K-pop dance routine for bears—minus the glitter, plus extra bamboo.
