Qinling Panda Series Ep. 7: Who is the crazy kiwifruit hoarder?
Share
Copied
Although the kiwi is a flightless bird native to New Zealand, the kiwifruit is a liana fruit tree native to China. The genus Actinidia is comprised of 54 species worldwide, of which 52 are found in China. Among them, 44 species are endemic to the country. China is reputed to be the birthplace of the kiwifruit.
As autumn arrives in the Qinling Mountains, plump kiwifruits emerge and hang on the vines. Bountiful kiwifruits attract the red-billed blue magpie, who is a crazy hoarder of kiwifruits. Their hoarding habit unexpectedly helps kiwifruits to spread in the mountains.
