dear friends. i would like you to meet my friend - baby panda, tai shan. tai shan (meaning "peaceful mountain") was born july 9th, almost one year ago to the happy giant panda parents mei xiang and tian tian. he is healthy, happy, and as cute as can be.
i'd been planning on visiting tai shan for months now (shut up. they're my favorite animals), ever since i found out i was coming to d.c. for the summer. though i'd planned on visiting little tai shan around my birthday, i caved and decided to go earlier instead...
let me just tell you that no other creature has ever had such an effect on me as little baby panda tai shan. i almost jumped into the panda habitat in an effort to coo and cuddle and climb trees with the little bamboo-eating fluffball. i think that life would be perfect if i could just spend all my time with the panda family, rolling around in grass, living the moral vegetarian life that i've always aspired to lead. yes indeed - after seeing the pandas, i feel like i want to be one. yup. my obesession is that bad...
i already miss the panda...
i think i'll go back to see little baby panda again. he makes me... happy. =)

Check out Wonkette.com for some funny panda commentary - they are so cute!!!
panda's are the rockinest
and it's so sad that their natural habitat is basically gone
have you ever seen a red panda?
they're pretty cool as well
tho i don't think i really want to cuddle one...they have sharp teeth, and i can be pretty irritating sometimes...
random thought, i have a panda that marie from photo class was gonna toss so she gave it to me....it's a very good panda stuffed animal...
especially for cuddling, what with the whole not-biting cuz it's an inanimate object...
