The Panda Bear

The Panda Bear

San Diego Has Four

The San Diego zoo has the largest number of giant panda’s outside of Mainland, China.
Currently the zoo has four.
  Bai Yun   has a new baby girl, just four weeks old the last of August 2005.  When she was born she only weighed 13 ounces and was 9.4 inches long.  Not yet ready for the crowds of admires she is not on display yet.
Baby has no name.  China will name her when she turns 100 days old.
The new Mother Bai Yun gave birth twice before.  The first time in 1999, to a female cub named Hau Mei. She was the first cub to survive in the US.
When we went to see Hau Mei in 2000, she was a year old and almost as big as her Mother. She still had that baby look and soft baby fur.  
The morning we were there she got active and was playing with her Mother.  Right after we were there, China wanted her back.  So she was returned to them.
She recently gave birth to twins in China.
The two year old male, Mei Sheng, is still a baby in actions.   He just recently had a birthday party.  He still sleeps all afternoon and comes out in the cool of the evening.
Gao Gao is the name of the other, older male at the zoo.
San Diego pays millions of dollars each year to China just to keep the Panda for us to view.  There are only four zoos that have the Panda.   Atlanta, Georgia, Memphis, Tennessee, and San Diego, California.
How lucky we are to live close to a zoo where we can visit the Panda’s when we want to.
