Pandas!





















These were taken at the Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu, Sichuan province. And yes I am holding a panda, not a raccoon.

Why am I not holing a baby Great Panda? Expense, plain and simple. To hold a baby panda would cost 150 USD, to be in near the adult giant panda would be 50 USD and to hold the red panda was about $6.25. Now holding a Giant Panda would have been really cool, but that's a chunk o'change.
