Lee, Gentis, and Rossi families at the Panda Breeding Center

Red Panda - Endangered; only 5,000 remain (from raccoon species)

Giant Pandas

"Jackie holding a baby panda named Oreo.  Oreo is 10 months old.  He's holding a bamboo shoot.  They dip the shoot in honey when they have people hold the pandas to keep them occupied.  Only 1,000 giant pandas left in the world with most in this area, Chengdu.  I think this was one of Jackie's favorite experiences so far this trip.  We saw teenage pandas and adult pandas at the breeding and research center.  Pandas spend 6-8 hours per day eating and the rest of the day sleeping.  The good life!" -Karen
