As a resident at the Chengdu Panda Research Centre ,I spend most of my time lazing about ,with my mates & eating delicious bamboo. Sometimes we play together ,but definitely nothing too strenuous . The kind humans take care of me ,clean out my residence & bring an endless supply of yummy bamboo ( I don`t like other food very much ). Once a day ,they give me `Panda Cake` (enriched with vitamins,etc ) & a few things , like carrots & apples ,which I eat, mainly to keep them happy . But after that , I can get back to scrumptious bamboo.

 

PS...... I was a volunteer keeper for half a day .......hard work & costly but I got close to & fed a (lazy ??) Panda.

And God took a handful of South wind and from it formed a horse, saying:

"I create thee, Oh Arabian. To thy forelock, I bind Victory in battle.

On thy back, I set a rich spoil And a Treasure in thy loins.

I establish thee as one of the Glories of the Earth...

I give thee flight without wings."

-- from Ancient Bedouin Legend
