Bo Chen said that the behavior of holding thighs is a basic habit for panda babies actually, and they all like to hold thighs basically. But what “Qiyi” is different from other pandas is that he is very persistent in holding thighs. Before holding the thigh, he will keep on chasing after the thigh.
