If you're looking for a job, do yourself a favor and check if there are any postings for what's being called the "happiest" job in the world!
And what would that be? A panda nanny of course!
At the Bifengxia Panda Base at Ya'an City, China, panda caretakers look after the animals all year long. That's right — all 365 days are dedicated to keeping these precious babies safe, secure, and happy!
And while it may sound like the perfect job — after all, cuddling with baby pandas sounds like a fantastic way to spend time — there's a lot of work put into making sure the animals are healthy. This means grooming them, watching over them as they sleep, and taking measurements and tracking their growth, among other duties.
The pandas range in size and age, but are still vulnerable and not ready to be in the wild. The nannies assume almost, if not all the duties a mother panda would have. And that means that caring for the babies is also a 24-hour job!
But we're glad to see that there are new ways in which we can help the species come back from the brink. And if that means holding pandas all day long, count us in!
If you'll be watching this on a loop like we are, please SHARE!
