Papier-Mâché Pandas Arrive In HK
June 12, 2014 by
Remember last month, we told you about artist Paulo Grangeon and his display of 1,600 papier-mâché pandas- one for each that lives in the wild today. The exhibit arrived in Hong Kong earlier in the week, so check it out if that happens to be your corner of the world!

C.O. Classifieds: Panda Caretaker WANTED
May 16, 2014 by
Panda Sanctuary and Research Center desires someone to snorgle Pandas. Free room and board. Salary 32K/200,000 yuan/yr. Free SUV to drive. Must be at least 22 and in good physical shape. Must love pandas. Oh yes, position is in China.
We’re not kidding, guys. NBC News says “China’s Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Ya’an, Sichuan province just announced a competition for a one-year job as a “Panda Caretaker.” Eight runners-up win a three-day trip to panda-watch at the reserve. China Daily helpfully notes, “Your work has only one mission: spending 365 days with the pandas and sharing in their joys and sorrows.”
Sorrows? With a fleet of Pandas? Impossible.
I’m in. Who’s with me? The application is somewhere on this site.
Thanks to The Furrtographer for the teep.

The “selfie” craze shows no sign of slowing down- (though maybe they’re done with it at the White House.) These guys want to get in on the action, too!
(Of course, these aren’t real. They’re part of a National Geographic ad campaign.) Via 123Inspiration.
Wow, Is That A Lot O’ Pandas, Or What?

It really isn’t.
Artist Paulo Grangeon worked with the World Wildlife Fund and others to create 1,600 papier-mâché Pandas to raise global awareness..
..about the continuing plight of these wonderful blorps.
Each one of these..
…represents a single member of the species that is still alive in the wild today.
Pretty serious when U think on it.

Breaking Panda Nooz via Cuteporter Cheryl S.: “Here’s a video just posted at Zoo Atlanta on the Twin Panda Cubs’ first day on exhibit. (Mei Lun & Mei Huan. But which is which? They need little panda football jersey numbers.) What’s cuter than a baby panda? Two baby pandas, of course!”
