Huang Shunjie might have the best job in the world. The 24-year-old is panda photographer and zookeeper. Huang spends each day (look) after 18 baby pandas at the Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in China. He prepares their meals, checks on their health and (carry) them between their sleeping pens and their public enclosure (围场).
"I can get very close to the baby pandas, makes many people jealous (忌妒的)," Huang says.
Any job (certain) has downsides. In Huang's case, it's the regular scratches (抓伤) he gets from the 45 - to 55-pound bears. But it's a small price to pay to spend each day with the cute pandas.
"I'm a full-time daddy for these baby pandas," says Huang. "If I take some (day) off to go home, I feel empty inside."
For many years, giant pandas were one of the world's most endangered creatures as construction destroyed their (nature) habitat in bamboo forests.
But populations have recovered in recent years due programs to help pandas breed (繁殖). Today, there (be) 1,864 pandas in the wild, up from only 1, 114 in the 1970s, according to China's National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Two-thirds of (they) live across 67 nature reserves.
