Panda Behind the Scenes tours

I just want to mention the Behind the Scene tours that are about to get up and running over here at the panda house. ww outside 004

We had our first trial run recently and it went really well. The lucky people got to come into the back of the panda building and see how everything works! I was able to show them the kitchen and talk to them about the pandas' diets. I showed them our bamboo storage cool room and they were lucky enough to see Jason, our Bamboo Horticulturalist, delivering a fresh load of bamboo... freshly cut from the plantation! They saw Funi, playing with enrichment and got to watch me do some training with both of them.

Wang Wang and Funi really seemed quite happy to have strangers in the building which is nice to see. We put food out on exhibit and then got to watch them walking around finding everything. It was quite a nice morning for all involved.

More information should be coming up on the website soon….so keep your eyes peeled!

Panda Behind the Scenes Tour - Amazing
written by Jae, August 04, 2010
I was lucky enough to receive a Panda Behind the Scenes Tour for my birthday on July 12th. It was the BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I have always loved pands, but to see these guys up close was just magical. Thanks to Matt and Amber (keepers) for making it such a wonderful day.smilies/grin.gifsmilies/cheesy.gifsmilies/cheesy.gif
