As a bemused Ki looked on from the top of the climbing frame, Prince played the fool below. This rather, ahem, cumbersome bear lounged around on the swing showing off to his lady friend above, until the rope could stand it no more and broke with a loud snap, sending Prince and the swing sprawling to the ground.

Hurting nothing but his pride, Prince pretended it was all part of the display and settled for looking gorgeous instead - as Ki continued to look unimpressed from above.

Grateful thanks for the pics from the incredibly talented photographer Sepp and his wife Monika from Germany who visited our Chengdu sanctuary recently.
