Pandas can be so amusing to watch. Good thing we have zoom lenses and converters to help capture images like this one.

Either he's having fun or he's stuck. :) When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought your picture was sideways. Very cute.

A long lost twin of this little one?

Excellent shot.
We were there the same day - but down at the viewing area. He was hidden from us at that time.
We WILL be going back. ;-)

tai shan actually means "peaceful mountain"....how did you get the name butterstick?
Nikographer [Jon] (71 months ago | reply)
His nickname in DC was butterstick, because he was born the size of a stick of butter.............
