The Pandas are here!

Time to visit the Toronto Zoo :slight_smile:

Mind you, if you can’t manage the visit in the next few weeks that’s not a problem. The pandas are visiting for 10 years.

Re: The Pandas are here!

Oh how sweet....I want to see the Pandas!!!

Re: The Pandas are here!

A panda was at Edinburgh Zoo. Dont know if its still around or been shipped back to China. A penguin escaped the other day

Re: The Pandas are here!

They will be in Toronto for 5 years and then moving to the Calgary zoo for another 5.
Hopes are that they will mate at some point during this time so that we can have a baby too!!!

I can't wait to go and see them!!
Haven't been to the zoo for a few years and am looking forward to seeing the new polar bear exhibit too.

Re: The Pandas are here!

ok...I'll be going to the Calgary zoo then!

Re: The Pandas are here!

Who ever goes to the zoo to see them, will take pictures for the rest of us!!!

Re: The Pandas are here!

deal!
Will have to be in the summer though.....or at the earliest in May cuz I'm not walking that huge expansive zoo in the cold......

Re: The Pandas are here!

its spring!!

Parking is free around this time :D
I so want to see how big hudson is now.

Re: The Pandas are here!

Actually I would avoid going in the summer at all costs. It is sweltering in the middle of summer and walking around in such high temps is brutal.

In fact, it's better to go on a slightly overcast and cool (not cold) day. The animals come out of the shade.

Re: The Pandas are here!

^who is hudson?

Re: The Pandas are here!

Re: The Pandas are here!

Yup...jst checked...little Hudson is here, he is 410 pounds and still growing :D

Re: The Pandas are here!

little ehh
also check before you go if brown bears woke up from hibernation.
They wrestle a lot. The young one there keeps annoying big old one :D l

Re: The Pandas are here!

yeah...overcast is best but I don't want to go when I have to wear jackets and boots......sorry...that's not my cup of tea.

Re: The Pandas are here!

So are they putting up an air-conditioned enclosure for them. Toronto summers can be quite scorching for the poor Pandas.

Saw them live at the Beijing zoo last year, but wasn't too impressed. They are pretty lethargic and kind of boring to just look at.

Re: The Pandas are here!

i saw a couple of pandas at the smithsonian zoo yesterday. they are male and female and kept next to each others enclosures and were going crazy in anticipation of ...baby panda making. not at all the sleepy cute panda image i had. -___-
