Of Pandas Giant and Red

Being from the Washington, DC, area, I have always loved the giant pandas at the National Zoo, This goes back to Hsing-Hsing and Ling Ling, beginning in the early 1970s.

But I also love the lesser pandas–also known as the Red Panda. A couple of years ago, Rusty climbed a tree in his enclosure at The National Zoo, hopped over the fence, and went exploring. Zoo staff retrieved him later that evening,

I have contributed to the Red Panda Network, a conservation group.

Here are some favorite panda videos:
