看到大熊猫“秃如其来”的困扰，网友们也十分焦急不安，大家也并不清楚大熊猫年纪轻轻就“谢顶”的原因。

Chinese netizens flooded on to social media platforms on Tuesday to express worries as media reported that a 3-year-old panda named Fu Xing in the Beijing Zoo is suffering from a tonsure on his head for an unclear reason.The tonsure is about the size of two one-yuan coins, according to a video on The Beijing News Sina Weibo account.

据《北京日报》报道，“福星”出生于2017年6月25日，以“戏精”眼神实力出道，江湖人称“胖大海”。爱笋笋，爱窝窝头，更爱撩拨饲养员，是个暖心可爱的小熊仔。这只萌萌的大熊猫也吸引了不少网友关注，“大熊猫胖大海”的微博超话阅读量达1.8亿。

显然，很多网友还一时无法接受熊猫也会“秃头”的“设定”……




据《北京日报》报道，动物园方面已经给熊猫用药，并且新的毛发开始生长，另有两名专家进行进一步“会诊”。不过，园方表示目前还不知道熊猫秃顶的原因。

The zoo has used medicines on the panda, and new hair had started to grow again. Zookeepers also arranged two experts to further check the problem, the Beijing Daily reported on Tuesday. But the reason for the tonsure on Fu Xing's head is still unknown, media reported citing the zoo.

看到微博上晒出的照片，一些网友发现“福星”经常打滚蹭地，而7月时，它的头顶和背部的毛发出现了磨损。大家担心是动物的刻板动作，提出是不是需要人为干预，且认为园方的反应慢了一步。

According to posts on Weibo, some fans noticed that Fu Xing rolled and rubbed on the floor very often; in July, lesions appeared on the animal's head and back. They also said that they had suggested the zoo to interfere to prevent Fu Xing from forming the stereotypic behavior but the zoo was slow to act until the problem was revealed by media recently.

北京动物园副园长张成林接受《北京日报》采访时表示，大熊猫“福星”头顶毛发磨损问题已持续一段时间，公园很早就已了解到相关情况，并积极处理，包括对场馆开展检查、兽医检查、及预防处理措施等等。专家对它的情况进行全面分析，目前分析还在进行中，会诊情况会尽快向公众公布。

Zhang Chenglin, director of the Beijing Zoo, told the Beijing Daily that they had noted the problem for a while and had taken measures including body checks, house checks and some other preventive measures. Zoologists will analyze the results thoroughly and release the conclusion as soon as possible, Zhang said.

复旦大学生命科学学院研究员王放接受《新京报》采访时表示，大熊猫掉毛的原因有很多种，有可能是寄生虫、细菌感染、真菌感染或外伤导致，需要经过检查和化验才可以判断。如果是外伤的话，大家不必过度担心，只要不是严重烧伤，动物损伤的毛发都是可以长出来的。熊猫一年有两次毛发更新，一次在夏天，一次是在冬天之前。如果“福星”是外伤导致的秃，入冬之前应该可以变好。

Panda's hair usually regrows twice a year — one in summer and another before the winter. This could also lead to natural hair loss, according to experts.

中国科学院动物研究所高级工程师张劲硕则表示，“福星”的打滚举动更像是为了吸引管理员注意，而非刻板行为。建议管理员用食物或玩具分散熊猫注意力，调整习惯。

Zhang Jingshuo, a senior engineer from the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the Beijing Daily, Fu Xing's rolling around is more like an act to attract the feeder's attention rather than pointless stereotypic behavior. Zhang suggests for feeders to use food or toys to distract Fu Xing to adjust the behavior.
