The Pandas are here!

Hi Jenny, I've never seen a panda in real life only on the televsion. How on earth though does it cost a million dollars to build them an enclosure? What are they going to be staying in , a luxury penthouse overlooking the ocean. There natural habitat is wild. I'm gobsmacked by the expenditure even if they do look sweet.

I have never seen Pandas. I don't even remember seeing them in the zoo. I know they were or are endangered maybe they don't have them in all the zoos. All the pictures I've seen of them look really cute and cuddly. I don't know much about them except they originated in China. They kind of remind me of Koala Bears, they both look so cute.

I've never seen panda directly. What a fortunately you are..thius animals is funny so much,very cute there's no one panda in my country..So I just see it picture huhuu...

I am glad to hear that. I think the pandas are just from China only. It is nice to share them with other countries. They are the bridge of the friendship:) I hope these two pandas will love their new home:) I am from China, so I can see the pandas in the zoos here. I love China

hi,jennybianca~~i am so glad to hear that many people like pandas.i am a chinese girl.sadly i never saw the panda,that is so pity.after reading your words, i decide to see it on the weekend.

It is a little shame that i didn't see a real panda though i am a chinese.I have to say you are so lucky. Not all the environment is fit for panda to live, so the city i lived has no panda. And the panda is very limit, only some big zoo have the good condition for panda,so if i want to see the real panda, i have to fly for several hours to another city . If i have time, i will go to Sichuan province to see panda, where is the hometown of panda.

I went and saw the pandas at Melbourne zoo back in 1988 when they visited. It was truely amazing and so exciting. I was only young and still have the panda Teddy I got that day.. It was such a big event I remember wainting in line as people slowly moved on passed to see them... Lucky you to go and see them. I hope they stay for a while.. I would love to take my kids to see them one day... They are so beautiful..

I have never seen a live Panada but would certainly love to see them. My grandmother raised me to have a love for Koala bears and Australian Opals as her brother immigrated to Australia so I have a whole clan of Australians in my family tree. They supplied me as a child with stuffed Koalas so these are the bears I would love to see.

yes.i also learned it from the tv that the two pandas Wang Wang and Funi have arrived safe and sound.and i know it's the first pair of pandas that reside in the southern hemisphere,right? pandas are really cute and i am sure you are going to love them!!actually their names are cute,too.Funi is for "a girl with blessings" ,and Wang Wang is for "net" literally in chinese.bamboos are their favourite food,and this is not known by everyone.but this doesn't make them strange animals or not be loved. i believe the more you see them,the more you are going to like them... enjoy!!

hi jennybianca nope I have never had the pleasure of seeing a Panda in the flesh. I would love to see one, they look big and sort of cuddly,probably much mistaken there though.Thanks for the picture, much apprciated. Merry christmas and a Happy New Year for you and yours.

though we are in China but we not see the panda acutally and only can see it from the Tv.looks like the panda is so cute so most people like to watch them.that's the special animal only eat bamboo and they do eat a lot of bamboo daily. what's the price to see the panda on your place?

no jenny, i have not found that opportunity yet. panda is not popular here in india but i know something about panda. i meann it belongs to the same category of bear, right? but i am curious to see it. thanks.

My ex-GM looked like a Panda! Just joking. Seriously, they are such cute animals and I haven't seen them in real life yet. I love to if I have the chance to touch and hug them.

I don't like panda so much.They eat bamboos, strange food.I must tell you that panda also eat meat sometime.I know thia cos i everread it from a magazine.

I haven't seen pandas i real. I can understand your excitement and I think Adelaide is heading for a great time with Funi and wang wang. I would love to see a panda, may be soon. Enjoy your visit as an extension of new year celebration and do come back with lot of stories to share. Happy Panda Watching!

I have not seen pandas in real but only in tv and prints. The people of Adelaide are sure excited to meet new 'citizens' joining the zoo. I wish I can visit your country one day and visit your zoo.

um..not live ones as i recall. i went to the columbus/cleveland area zoo a long time ago but all i remember was the great apes they had.i would like to see a panda though :)

great for you! hopefully, you and your daughter will have a blast when you see these pandas coem january 14. as for me, yes, i have seen pandas already. i know that they are extinct and all but never really got over the idea why they are so popular. always preferred grizzlies or polar bears. cheers!!!
