Tai Shan booked on a Feb.4 flight, but first, a goodbye party Saturday,Jan.30th
Tai Shan is old enough to breed, and conservationists in China want him in their program to try to increase the population of endangered giant pandas.
Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough, calling the news "bittersweet," said Tan Shan will travel on a flight and be accompanied by a panda from a zoo in Atlanta. An Atlanta zoo spokeswoman said that its panda is a 3-year-old female named Mei Lan.
I happened to know a lady named Mei Lan in China. What a coincidence,indeed!
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao, an octogenarian who enjoys watching Panda having the taste of bamboo sticks. I like sugarcane in China with sweet taste ever since I was a youngster in Shanghai.
