Animals on the move

The Panda Express A huge panda named Tai Shan made the news in February 2010 when he emigrated from the U. He was moved from the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC to join a reproducing program run by wildlife conservation experts at the Bifengxia Panda Base in Ya’an, Sichuan. An unique FedEx aircraft was hired to carry him and also a panda called Mei Lan, from a zoo in Atlanta, to China, a trip taking fifteen hours. He was not anaesthetized for the journey because specialist wild animals guardians enabled him to obtain used to his workstation long before it was time to leave. He is the initial cub that the zoo has actually efficiently increased to this phase of maturation. It shows up that he will certainly be fondly missed; to accompany the panda’s departure, the zoo has actually launched a collection of postage stamps birthing his photo, the earnings from which will certainly go towards wild animals preservation tasks like the one that has made Tai Shan headline news. Yet in the first week of February 2010, it was not the safeguarded animals that caught the focus of the seeing crowds, but those that ran away the defense of their rooms and also made a break for flexibility. In some way, a few of the zoo’s even more troublesome monkeys climbed up out of their unit. At the time of writing, it is not known whether they have actually been caught yet.
