 Ailaoshan is of the Hani tribe from the mountain village of Mengsong. Roasted, the tender shoots he gathers will make a tasty dish. The Hani have many uses for the different bamboos they grow and find in the forest around. Though flexible enough to be woven, bamboo has a higher tensile strength than steel. Succulent when young, in maturity 1 it’s tough and durable 2, ideal for making a table, and strong enough for a pipe to last a lifetime. The people of the Southwest China have found an extraordinary number of ways to exploit this most versatile 3 of plants.


 
Part of bamboo’s phenomenal success is that it’s so tough that few animals can tackle it. Yet bamboo does come under attack, a bamboo rat. Feeding almost exclusively on bamboo, they live their entire lives in tunnels beneath the forest. The thinner species of bamboo are easy to attack and pull below. She has a fantastic sense of smell and can sniff 4 out the fresh growth through the soil.
 
Bamboo spreads along underground stems. By following these, new shoots are found. Once a shoot is detected, she snips 5 it free and drags it down into her burrow 6. This female has a family. At just a few weeks old, the youngsters can already tackle the hardest bamboo stems and are eager to try.
