We spent Wednesday at the zoo. It was a cool day and as a result, the animals were active. We arrived early and were treated to a number of cool experiences. We came upon an empty panda enclosure but noticed the keepers were cleaning the area and then carefully tying up bamboo branches and making piles of carrot-looking treats. We found a spot in the middle of the viewing gallery and waited patiently. Sure enough, once the cleaning stopped, the gate was lifted and out came Bai Yun, a lovely, rolly polly female panda. She has successfully raised a number of cubs at the zoo. We fell under the panda charm as we watched her strip the bamboo stalks and then crunch the core.
Such a beautiful creature!
