Pandas!
25. September 2018 in China
We didn't have to walk very far to see more pandas. The pandas almost seem to know that people are looking at them and enjoy doing cute poses like this.

In Dream Land

This panda, like many of the ones we saw, was sleeping but, unlike the others, he seemed to be dreaming. He would be relaxed and then show his teeth again and again. I've seen dogs do this sort ofWeiterlesen
