To celebrate the Lantern Festival, which fell on Friday this year, staff members at Harbin Polar Park prepared special yuanxiao for their two polar bears on Thursday.

Unlike traditional yuanxiao — balls of glutinous rice with fruit, nuts, vegetables, meat and eggs — the polar bears' treats were made with flour, beef, fish and various vegetables.
  The bears' handlers also prepared some small yuanxiao in different flavors, which received a warm welcome from the animals.
