October 26

High Fiber Diet

Pandas subsist almost exclusively on Bamboo. They must have at least two varieties to survive.
The leaves contain more protein, but this Panda seemed to like the crunchy bits more for breakfast.
Her name is Bai Yun which means "White Cloud" in Chinese and she is 19 years old.
Only five Zoos in North America have Pandas. We're lucky to have three living here in San Diego.

The image is uncropped with only minimal processing.

a beautiful catch of the panda and thank you for the information!
Panda's like koala's look so cute, but both of these animals can be very nasty!

How beautiful they are...such a pity they can only be preserved in captivity and not as they should be at one with nature.
