I watched him sleep the other day and he had a smile as usual on his face . This I will truly miss. I'm just sorry that I will not be able to see him before he goes and I too would like too thank all the wonderful people involved with him, It will be hard for them also. Thank you again staff for such a wonderful bear.

It's official...China has asked for Mei Sheng's return. This makes me cry! I realize that it is because all of the wonderful staff there that this is even possible, but I can't help think about how much I/WE will miss him. Mei Sheng is my first baby panda. I have watched him grow to be this beautiful, serene, amazing panda bear and I will miss him with ALL my heart. I wonder how well he will acclimate to his new surroundings? Does he understand commands in Chinese and English or do the trainers in China also speak English to our English understanding pandas? I must make it down to San Diego before he leaves. Congratulations to all of you for raising him so well. Tearfully, Elle. Oh Suzanne! It’s official…China has asked for Mei Sheng’s return. This makes me cry!

How wonderful it is to have teachers like Mrs.Woods guiding our children into the world of conservation. they will learn that all creatures are important to the survival of our planet. I can't think of anything more special than the world through the eyes of a child, how clean and pure their mind is. To all the teachers out there teacher your children well, they are our future. nice to see you back Pamela G.

What a sight. It's still somewhat dark in San Diego, but I could clearly make them out. Can't wait until my trip the first week in August to see the Panda Royals... King Gao Gao, Queen Bai Yun, Prince Mei Sheng and Princess Su Lin. Keep up the awesome work everyone at CRES does for these beloved animals.. and for all animals!

Shortly I will " give up" the Panda Cam because separation anxiety is a real problem for me. Mei Sheng going to China and Sue Lin having her own space is hard to believe as it seems like only a short time since Mei Sheng was born...and only days since Su Lin was born. Lately I have so enjoyed cleaning up time on the Cam. Su Lin and one of the keepers seem to have a very special relationship (is she Joanne?). Many of my favorite pictures are with Joanne-it is wonderful to see the love in both the Panda's and Joanne's faces. Blessings to all and thank you!

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 18:46:20 +0000 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/general/through-the-eyes-of-a-child/#comment-9422 How wonderful it is that Mrs. Woods and her class are so interested in learning about pandas. They are getting the benefit of the SDZ panda cams and the newly trained " Meerkats" who have made seeing the bears easier. I hope the kids will continue their interest in animals and be able to visit them at the Zoo! When some of us had the privilege of going to China in April and held and played with a panda cub, it was the result of many years of loving Giant Pandas and a desire to see them in person. When you have a dream sometimes it can and will come true, even if it takes many years. :grin: How wonderful it is that Mrs. Woods and her class are so interested in learning about pandas.

We are planning a trip back to San Diego in late August and don't want to miss him. Thank you so much! Suzanne,

Thank you Mrs. Woods for encouraging your students to learn more about Pandas and allowing them to watch the Panda Cam. You have truly instilled in them a love of these beautiful creatures and the wilderness they live in. I believe the simple act of learning about an animal - simply seeing how they live and interact with their cubs - can really educated a child in ways reading about them can't. Thank you - and our dear sweet pandas thank you too! Out of the mouths of babes!
