Awwwww......how sweet! I love those bears! They look so cuddly....even the big ones do. I know, I wouldn't dare try to cuddle one, but they sure are precious looking. Fantastic capture, my friend! I can't wait to go to the zoo with you!

Note to all: The Panda is not a bear... they are in reality rodents... the closest relative is the Racoon.. and that's the truth.....

This got me curious so I looked it up on Wikipedia. This link will take you there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Panda. They mention the controversy about whether Giant Pandas are part of the bear family or the racoon family. They note that more recent genetic testing has shown that they are really part of the bear family.

Well, I learned something....I never would've guess that they are a member of the raccoon family.
