A panda walks into a bar... Yun Zi, a young male panda, in profile as he devours a stalk of bamboo - Born August 5, 2009, at San Diego Zoo, current weight 185 lbs. He is the older brother of their newest cub, born in July 2012. This panda is content to eat his fresh bamboo shoots for hours a day, lounging on a rock.
The 100-acre (40-hectare) Zoo is home to over 3,700 rare and endangered animals representing more than 650 species and subspecies, and a prominent botanical collection with more than 700,000 exotic plants. It is located just north of downtown San Diego in Balboa Park.

Awesome capture--and I am sure this panda has at least as interesting of a personality as the dog I photographed. :) v/f

Angela, once again thanks for your great comments. Regarding the dog and the panda, you would need to take the dog down the highway to San Diego to compare them. I'm sure they would get along well until the zoo staff noticed. Let me know the outcome. : )
