曾经，动物园的"纪念品店"多是游客匆匆路过的角落，如今，纪念品店升级为文创店，成为许多人 的"必逛点位"。从线下售卖到线上直播，越来越多的年轻人愿意为一只熊猫玩偶或是企鹅冰箱贴付费。 动物园文创正逐渐转变为文化、情感与商业价值的融合体。这背后不仅是观众对动物本身的喜爱，更是 动物园这个传统的公共空间，正在被年轻人重新看见。 回忆"虫动市集"的发展经历，重庆动物园文创开发主管陈小倩认为，文创店最初的走红，或许与熊 猫成为"明星动物"有关。 随着社交媒体发展，动物园里的动物也更多曝光在直播、短视频的镜头下，走入人们的日常生活。 22岁的大学生徐天奇对中青报·中青网记者说，自己很喜欢动物，但学业繁忙，很难有整块时间去线下 动物园，短平快的线上视频可以很好地利用碎片化时间，满足休闲陪伴需求。 在这些镜头中，动物不再只是展示区里的"被观看对象"，而更多呈现出真实的"生活状态"——吃 饭、发呆、打闹，甚至"社死"。人们不仅能看到动物们的外形，还能感受到它们的"性格"。这让动物变 得更加生动、贴近人心，甚至成为具有情感价值的符号。 00后宋欣蕊说，看熊猫直播就像"看自己家狗狗的监控一样幸福"。而动物园文创，则将这种线上获 ...

新京报记者 朱月红 编辑 胡杰 校对 赵琳 除了动物园闭园和女儿生日这样的日子，高氏贵博几乎每天都会出现在东京上野动物园。他举着一台黑 色相机走进熊猫馆，常常排队几十分钟甚至几个小时，只为了在短短两分钟左右的参观时间内，尽可能 多按几次快门，捕捉大熊猫的每个瞬间。 对高氏贵博来说，拍摄熊猫是爱好，而非工作。他的本职工作是网页设计，自2011年迷上大熊猫之后， 便近乎每天都前往上野动物园拍摄，在排队间隙处理工作，至今已坚持将近15年时间。 "每天观察大熊猫，我渐渐觉得，它们就像我的家人一样。我像拍摄家人成长的照片一样，用心对待它 们。"在他的镜头下，不论是已经返回中国的"比力""仙女""香香"，还是如今即将返程的"晓晓"和"蕾 蕾"，都有着特别的一面。 不过，高氏贵博在上野动物园的大熊猫拍摄将不得不按下暂停键。随着中日熊猫租借协议到期，"晓 晓"和"蕾蕾"将于2026年1月26日返回中国。尽管日方已提出续租及新租申请，但并未与中方达成一致协 议，这意味着自本月下旬之后，日本将迎来全国没有大熊猫的情况。 "虽然早就知道'晓晓'和'蕾蕾'终会按约定回到中国，但随着它们离开的日子越来越近，我心里的悲伤还 是与日俱增。 ...
