Panda updates – Wednesday, July 15

So many of you tune in to our PandaCam daily, but did you know that we do too? Our office is filled with monitors showing views of the pandas. They show the dayrooms, the outdoor habitats, and the behind-the-scenes dens. It is difficult for us to see directly into the panda dayrooms from behind the scenes, but the cameras let us check up on the pandas constantly. We often make decisions about our next steps in our daily routine by checking the cameras to see which pandas are asleep, happily eating, or acting interested in another round of bamboo. We also simply enjoy it as much as you do! We frequently call each other over to see the silly thing one of the pandas is doing – usually the twins having a raucous play session or Yang Yang getting really into a good itch on a log.
