WOW - what a great photo - the panda looks so big here - course on the other hand I still think of Tai Shan as a little baby and he is 18 months old - and probably just as big! Thanks so much for sharing your photos - we are all pandaholics here :-)

Welcome to the group. This is a amazing photo, to be so near one of these precious animals. Did she offer to share her boo with you?

Hi everyone!! Thanks a whole bunch for looking at my pix!!! Yes this was one big gal!!! Here are more of the panda pix for those of you who didn't see the Chengdu albums yet tinyurl.com/yj2tdx Her head was as big as my pillow and her fur as coarse as the mane of a horse!!! Very shiny..very healthy. The Chengdu pandas were so incredibly healthy and active. When in Beijing we saw a few pandas at the zoo and were disappointed in contrast to Chengdu. They were not in bad shape....just not as wonderful as the Panda Base. They looked like an entirely different species in Beijing..long and narrow. Oh and buttercake56....her boo...she tossed her head at me when I even dared to look at her eating..it was so funny!

your lucky to be alive... a friend of mine got his arm taken off by a panda at brookfield zoo chicago in the 60's ....

Thanks you guys! agateman69...yes I have a healthy respect for the animals thats for sure. When I saw the size of that head next to mine I kept an arms length away. The only English speaking keeper kept saying "whatever you do...don't touch her ears". Boy did I want to touch those ears after that! LOL
