2. Thank you, riversedge. They will have their own live cam starting in 3 days!

This should be the link when they get it in operation:

I used to watch the earlier couple and their astounding children for years, regularly. Too special to miss! If these pandas receive a 3rd panda, it will be fascinating, too! At first, the mother will see a little overbearing (Giant Panda overBearing), shoving them around, dragging them by their scruffs across the display area, but as soon as the little ones get their bearing, they go bull goose looney, crunching parental ears, biting faces, necks, wreaking havoc! Unbelievable!f

In their own shelltered small environment, they seem very playful, lovable, and peaceful.

Can't wait until the 24th, and people who can't make it to the National Zoo can observe their American visit to the National Zoo. China is very generous to share these endangered sweeties with people outside their country.

Thanks for your comment, riversedge.
