    Panda Cam

    Are any of you following the Panda Cam from the San Diego Zoo.

    There are live pictures of Bai Yun's new cub that are out of this world.

    WOW! Amazing! I can see baby and mommy interacting so clearly! SO CUTE!

    It's so sad that we have to have "breeding programs" for these maginificent creatures. I really don't like to see a wild animal in a cage.


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    I agree with you Kater, but I believe the father of this cub was rescued from the wild in China. He came in injured more than likely by another Panda.

    The San Diego Zoo works very closely with China to assure that this species will continue to exist.

    Bai Yun has it made........beautiful gardens, trees, plenty of food, no competition and great care.

    She has turned out to be an amazing mother.

    I should research the background of this particular breeding. It does sound like a special situation.

    I have a very special interest in native Chinese animal species. I think it was an HSUS (ASPCA?) magazine that did a recent (within the past year) special on endangered/threatened Chinese animal species. It had fabulous pictures and I just could not stop looking at them.

    It seems a little unneccesary. There are reservations in China where people study them and they can be protected.

    These reserves have been quite succesful in protecting pandas so far. I was reading a magazine article on it and one woman got so close to the pandas on the reserve the mother panda allowed her to touch her baby!

    If you're listening to this song
    You may think the chords are going wrong
    But they're not
    We just wrote it like that

    When you're listening late at night
    You may think the band are not quite right
    But they are, they just play it like that

    It doesn't really matter what chords I play
    What words I say or time of day it is
    As it's only a Northern song

    It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
    Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
    When it's only a Northern song

    If you think the harmony
    Is a little dark and out of key
    You're correct, there's nobody there

    And I told you there's no one there

    Kater that article I was mentioned previously had a fantastic photo of a panda cub in the palm of someone's hand.

    I will still defend this breeding program at the San Diego Zoo.

    I am by far, NOT an authority on the subject, but from what I have read, China is excellent at protecting them, but their breeding program was not successful. Because of the research done at our Zoo we were able to work closely with the Chinese in China and assist in improving the birth rate of the pandas.

    There are so few of them left around the world - and they are so magnificent, I just rejoice when there is another birth.

    Hope you enjoy the live webcam.
