4月20日8時02分，四川省雅安市蘆山縣發(fā)生里氏7.0級地震，震源深度13公里。地震發(fā)生時，雅安碧峰峽熊貓基地的大熊貓們出現不同反應，有的先是發(fā)呆，之后有些開始往樹上爬，另外一些則跑到“它們認為安全的地方”。據悉，地震發(fā)生后，基地的工作人員通過“愛心撫養(yǎng)”等一系列措施對受驚嚇熊貓進行了安撫。首先保證食物充足供應，讓大熊貓感到跟平常沒有什么區(qū)別。對于受驚嚇較為嚴重的年幼熊貓，飼養(yǎng)員通過一起玩耍、撫摸等方式平復它們的緊張感。
位于雅安市寶興縣東北部、距蘆山地震震中約80公里車程的蜂桶寨自然保護區(qū)的野生大熊貓安危如何，尚在核查中。該保護區(qū)是野生大熊貓、金絲猴等多種國家級保護動物的棲息地，約有熊貓40多只。蜂桶寨保護區(qū)因地震出現山體垮塌和引水管道損壞，地震后到目前為止，保護區(qū)尚有9名工作人員沒有取得聯系，但已有專人進入熊貓棲息地核實熊貓狀況。
四川雅安是中國著名的大熊貓之鄉(xiāng)。1869年，西方傳教士在雅安寶興發(fā)現了大熊貓，從此大熊貓被世界所知。

In the 7.0-magnitude quake that jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province, giant pandas have become special "victims." |
In the 7.0-magnitude quake that jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province, giant pandas have become special "victims."
Although no deaths or injuries of pandas were reported so far, the rare species at Bifengxia Panda Base, located 50 kilometers away from the epicenter in Longmen county, Ya'an city, were found scared by the devastating quake.
Ya'an is home to giant pandas. In 1869, a French missionary Armand David discovered the giant panda in Baoxing County of the city, making the black and white bears known to the world.
According to the video captured by the camera surveillance, when the quake occurred at 8:02 a.m. Saturday, the pandas were slack-jawed for a while, and then some of them climbed onto trees, and some others fled to somewhere else they believed safe, said Heng Yi, a spokesman with the base.
"Those daring ones remained calm, while the timid ones suffered from shock," he said, adding the pandas need extra care and even psychological therapy.
Breeders provided abundant food for the pandas to assure them "nothing is wrong," and for those young cubs who were scared the most, breeders will play with them to ease their tense, said a director surnamed Wang in charge of animal management of the base.
"Breeders' close-distance communications will help comfort the pandas," said Wang.
There are 61 giant pandas at the base, and nearly half of them were moved here from the Wolong Natural Reserve five years ago, when 8.0-magnitude earthquake happened near the area. People in Wolong also felt the tremor this time, but no casualties of human beings and pandas were caused, said Zhang Hemin, chief of Wolong Natural Reserve.
Apart from Bifengxia and Wolong, Fengtongzhai Natural Reserve, located in northeastern Baoxing County and 80 km away from the epicenter Lushan, was also a habitat for wild pandas. There are about 40 pandas in the reserve.
Quake-triggered landslides disrupted the road traffic and water supply of the reserve, and the conditions of the pandas there have been unknown yet.
Zuo Guangyuan, chief of the management bureau of the Fengtongzhai natural reserve, said nine of the workers were still not reached, and a special team has been sent to verify the conditions of the pandas.
No dead or injured pandas had been found so far, but aftershocks and potential subsequent disasters may threaten their safety, said Zuo.
