First lesson for KungFu Panda: the bamboo stick is a deadly weapon, not food.

32 Theo 07.25.08 at 5:53 pm

…what does bamboo even smell like? Grass?

33 Monica 07.25.08 at 5:59 pm

This is the famous Hua Mei. A female, and the first panda baby born in the Western Hemisphere. She was born at the San Diego Zoo in 1999. In 2004 she returned to China for breeding and has since given birth to 3 sets of twins. Meanwhile her mother Bai Yun remains at San Diego Zoo and is still birthing cute cubbies herself, right now she baby Zhen Zhen. So Bai Yun is a productive mother and Grandmother.

Hua Mei has pink patches due to a chemical reaction to her mother syliva which occurs when the mother grooms her cub.

And now you know everything…

34 chanpon 07.25.08 at 6:39 pm

Really digging his slightly in-turned toesies. What a cutie-pie.

36 Deckard Canine 07.25.08 at 6:53 pm

Please find another name for him. References to piddling are more degrading than cute.

37 Decca 07.25.08 at 6:56 pm

It’s a fair cop, but society is to blame.

38 Kris 07.25.08 at 6:59 pm

If she picked that bamboo up, she could be Puttin’ on the Ritz!

i wanted to see it ever since i’ve started reading ‘the Panda’s thumb’ by Stephen Gould.

41 sk 07.25.08 at 7:35 pm

44 snusnu 07.25.08 at 8:29 pm

This could also be a joyous hand wave a la Wallace. “Bamboo, Gromit!”

45 Jen 07.25.08 at 9:37 pm

Is anyone else sort of creeped out by this photo? I find the expression on the panda’s face is so human that it crosses over into uncanny valley territory…

46 Signe 07.25.08 at 10:15 pm

that’s just so cute! it’s an old pic used everywhere, but still cute every time!

47 BeanSidhe 07.25.08 at 10:57 pm

She looks ever so polite!

“No, no YOU take the last piece. Really I’m stuffed, I simply can’t eat another bite. Go on, I INSIST!”

49 berthaservant 07.26.08 at 7:27 am

“Whoa, just slow down, dude, nobody said anything about horking your bamboo, I just wanted to take a little gander, bra.” (probably in a Jack Black voice)

50 Cat Allergies 07.26.08 at 11:48 am

Awww. Too adorable….
Wanna snuggle with that wittle panda belly… and look at those toe pads! (Methinks I’ve got a toe pad fetish…)

51 k. o'dee 07.26.08 at 12:43 pm

There’s an “Eats, shoots and leaves” joke in here, somewhere.

52 Coco 07.26.08 at 7:46 pm

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!

53 Marie 07.26.08 at 9:14 pm

But I needs my bamboo.

54 DCN 07.26.08 at 10:27 pm

Deckard, why so serious?

55 mike d 07.27.08 at 12:38 am

56 rowdykatie 07.28.08 at 3:07 am

57 Katrina 07.28.08 at 3:56 pm
