This video was filmed in the morning of October 2023 at the Ichikawa Zoological and Botanical Garden, aka Ichikawa City Zoo in Chiba. Popo just appears outside. She is still suspicious of the pink basket, which was provided for the first time as an enrichment on that day. She flips and tosses the basket as if it were a living creature. She also eats fresh grass on a tower, but she moves closer to the keeper. Her keeper is watching her from the visiting area. She is full of energy, actively roaming, swinging, climbing, and swaying the enclosure. I'm not sure if you can hear well, but Iban made long calls in the video.
Accessibility
I have added captions for this video for international viewers as well as viewers who feel the already-given subtitles are too small to read. You can change the design and size of your subtitles on your device. Furthermore, if you turn the transcription on, you can read the subtitles later without stopping the video in the middle. Please note that languages other than English and Japanese are automatically translated by RU-vid; there may be errors in translation. If you can't find your language in the captions, please feel free to let me know.
