Pandas - Georgia / Atlanta Zoo
carly:
Still no word on the return of the panda cam however one of the ladies has been going to the zoo on weekends and she's posted some awesome pictures/videos of the Yang family including little Xi Lan. He's walking so well and he is even trotting in one of the videos..he's gotten so big!!
Here's the link to her flickr site if you need a panda fix...to hold you over. Some excellent pics, I love the shots of daddy Yang..he's quite the goofball..hehe! Enjoy!

some boys are dumb.. lol.. notice its never a WOMAN who feels the need to cuddle up to the poo-bears.. lol
The zoo does not need to alter the enclosure in any way.. it's actually well done, and what i meant by the comment that it was not far down in was that you could get up close and personal with the bears WITHOUT getting TOO up close and personal.. you have a wonderful view of them from just above them.
I think he should be charged with something. If was easy to 'accidently' fall in , then it would happen more often.. everyone has to be responsible for their own actions... and it needs to be an example for others to maybe think twice before climbing in for a hug..
again..poor bear... needed to go clean his teeth with bamboo to get the dumb-a$$ out of his teeth...

ROTFL!! ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
Nothing is going to happen to Gu-Gu apparently - and nor should it. And the zoo isn't making any changes to the enclosure - nor should they. The enclosure works to keep the bears from roaming into danger but no exclosure will keep humans out if they are a) so inclined, b) foolish, or c) inebriated.
Interestingly, this young man is the only one of the three people who have been bitten by pandas at the zoo in 50 years whose presence in the pen was accidental (the others climbed) and yet there is still the possibility that he could be charged by the police. Figure the nerve and tendon damage and the resultant publicity/notoriety is probably enough in this case. And Gu-Gu apparently is unfazed by the whole incident.
Everyone was pretty lucky all told ...
Loriann:
Not the bears fault. he didn't order any food to be delivered.. ( chinese take-out or otherwise ;)) any dumb-a$$ who jumps in with a 'wild' animal deserves what he gets. I saw pictures of the 'attack' and the enclosure, and its not a very far jump down into the pen.
