Shanghai Zoo

"Hongtang baby", the star of the Shanghai Zoo, is a female Bengal tiger born last year. Due to her popularity, merchandise such as Hongtang pillows often sell out quickly. In addition to Hongtang, "Messy little bear" Junjun now has its own line of toys and merchandise! New items include Junjun fridge magnets, postcards, badges, and hats.

Shanghai Natural History Museum

"Meng Shi (cute lion)" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum is a male lion from Hangzhou Zoo, made into an exhibit after passing away in 1977. Over time, his unique facial expression, the result of aging and degradation, has become an online sensation and made him one of the most popular exhibits at the museum. This April, the museum launched a series of limited-edition figures, perfectly capturing his fur and expression!
