Panda Day

CARE-GIVERS OF CHINA’S TREASURES
People who care for pandas have a photo taken with the 13 panda cubs born in 2008
at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding on January 21, 2009 in Chengdu of Sichuan Province. The base currently has 82 pandas in captivity, including the 13 panda cubs.

Enjoyed the cute pictures? I did. After all, how often do you get to see so many pandas all at once, hugger by the humans in sterile garments? Wonder how much they weigh...

Walking a "Panda" in the Streets of China

PANDA-LOOKALIKE DOGGIE

A girl walks a "panda" in a street of Wuhan, Hubei Province in central China, attracting the attention of lots of people around. (oh man..can you imagine what WWF would do if it was a real panda? Swop down on the unsuspecting girl and kidnap the victimized endangered species? And I'm not talking about World Wrestling Federation here.) 

The "panda" turns out to be a dog wearing pandas' make-up. Now, I wonder what sort of make-up they use to get this effect. This is giving me evil designs on Tiger..haha! And what sort of dog is this in the first place with such round ears. I suspect it is a Chow-chow. Didn't think they come in white colour though.
