I love reading about the Pandas and viewing them on the webcam. I'm planning a trip to see them in the next year. I also love reading about the scientific studies you all have been doing. It's a lot of work on your part to share the Pandas on the internet, but from where I'm sitting, well worth it.

Thanks again

My thanks to you all for your kind and generous words. There were so many things I wanted to put into the 2007 Panda Claws story: Tai smooshing one of his appowz to make appowsauce for Zoom Zoom, The youngsters building a snowbear to be discovered by the NZ camera operator on Christmas morning (How about that, Angela?), Mei Sheng telling the American bears about the Austrian, Spanish, and Mexican Pandas,….but the poem was already so long that there just wasn't room. Maybe next year!

And Catbelly, my dear Panda pal….next time, I buy lunch!

Wishing you all Sweet Panda Dreams for Christmas Eve,
Pam G.

Thank you so much for the interesting comparison, Suzanne. It's so fascinating to see the individual cubs and their similarities/differences. I appreciate the time you put into educating us!

And Pam. Made me tear up at work again. Thank you so much for the beautiful Cwispmoss story.

I hope all the wonderful panda fans out there have a wonderful holiday and New Year!
