A visit to the Chengdu research base of giant panda breeding.
The area was quite large, park-like, and nicely planted.
Hot and humid, as always.
Eating bamboo.
Early morning gymnastics.
Eating more bamboo.
Pointy-haired boss?
Jeah, gymnastics is tiring.
Air-conditioned indoor habitat.
Can somebody please translate?
Cross the suspension bridge carefully - no swinging! You wouldn’t try anything if you saw the state of the planks and the steel cables.
Mother cuddling her child - the small ones can live alone if they are about 1.5 to 2 years old. This one is probably about a year old.
Take a break.
Pandas prefer eating with their backs to the spectators.
A peacock chick.
Looks poisonous but is bottled green tea. The lower of the two big white symbols actually means 'tea'.
Aquativ plant in flower.
And another one.
A very polite way to say 'keep off the grass'.
Black swan.
The swans were only mildly irritated by the goldfish.
No idea what these are supposed to be. Elephants? In a panda park?
