Tai Shan, the National Zoo's young giant panda, will get first-class treatment when he flies to his new home in China on Feb. 4. A customized FedEx freighter will ferry him. View Panda Video at washingtonpost.com/local
Tai Shan is highly motivated by food, and the zoo is sending along 50 pounds of bamboo and apples, cooked sweet potatoes and his favorite-pears for the trip. He will be coaxed into the travel crate early in the morning, loaded onto a truck and driven about 9 to the airport with a police escort. There, he will meet up with Mei Lan,3, female giant panda from the Atlanta zoo who is also being sent to China on the airplane. Confucius was aware of the needs of mannals for food and the creation of the little ones.
Perhaps they would be good friends en route to China via the Atlantic Ocean for romance.(sic)
Giant pandas are native to China and are endangered. Tai Shan is being sent to joint a breeding program to help increase the giant panda population. There is no need for birth control for Pandas.
