Of course most everyone knows that pandas are near extinction and live in the mountains in Sichuan Province in western China. They estimate that only between 300 and 1000 still live in the wild. So we went to Chengdu after our Guizhou trip to visit the Panda Research base. We learned all about panda sex and artificial insemination there at the base. We even saw male and female panda parts preserved in jars at the museum which claimed that Teddy Roosevelt killed a panda in his visit to Sichuan province in late 1800's. Fact check needed!
Anyway, blah, blah, blah. China is working very hard to repopulate their country's mascot. Want to know what we came away with? Pandas do not take uncute photos. Everything they do is inherently cute and kind-- chomping on bamboo, rolling over another panda, growling, strolling, sleeping in trees-- serious cute factor. Check out my pics!!!
