Panda watching! That definitely promotes togetherness. And you can all enjoy the pandas at the same time, without having to repeat the story many times to different people. My mom is 83 and I just got her interested in watching the panda cams from San Diego, Washington, and Atlanta. She likes watching the antics of the cubs particularly. Unfortunately the only time she and I can watch together is in the evening, and because we live on the East Coast, all the pandas are resting for the night and it is dark at the zoos.

And yes, I think they're the only pandas that aren't owned by China. China gave Mexico two pandas, and that's pretty much how it all got started. I think. I'm not an expert! Margaret...thank you for your kind words! We've been watching the Panda Cam for a few months now, sometimes leaving it on all day and checking up on the pandas every time someone sits down at the computer. It's hilarious how sometimes mom will sit down and scream at us to come over and look at what the pandas are doing...and suddenly everyone in the house is crowded around the computer, going " Aww!" We definitely love you guys. Laine, #74:

I am very astonished at knowing that the panda was an alcoholic and a chocolate fancier as well. How could it be that? Don't understand! It is terribly sorry to hear the death of Yan Yan.

Thank you, I've just returned from a trip and found your helpful info. In the meantime I found out what IE7 means and I shall certainly try to download it since I have got Windows XP. However, you are right, pandaholic, as it is already I do get totally absorbed in watching the panda cam without zoom. I wonder what is gonna happen if I am able to zoom-in...? It is great that all we pandaholics can " talk" to each other and discuss everything concerning our beloved pandas. #69 Karla It was so refreshing to read that young people like yourselves are so interested in the adorable pandas. I truly hope that you will be able to view the pandas " in person" one day. I am living in Europe, currently in Hungary but will move to Austria in two months' time, i. e. very close to a pair of pandas at the Vienna Schoenbrunn Zoo. Two years ago I visited the Vienna Zoo and was able to view both pandas in a distance of only about five to ten metres. I was totally mesmerized!!! Good luck to you! #76 and 77 pandaholic and Hazel.

It must be devastating to them and to Bao Bao. She was alone when she died and I understand that her caretaker is inconsolable. Just another reason for giving our pandas all the love and care we can.

We haven't heard from you in almost three weeks! We hope the Panda King has not accidently panda-napped you. What are Su Lin and Mei Sheng up to behind the scenes? We see Bai Yun and GaoGao every day. Today we are even getting a new bedroom view on C9, perhaps in preparation for Bai Yun's maternity suite, after their breeding takes place? Kay, are you OK?

Kind regards to all - I hope this assists with viewing the super Panda's at SDZ Ruth #66

IE7 is Internet Explorer 7. I don't have it on my system either, and probably many of the bloggers don't. But I still enjoy the cams at all 4 U.S. zoos, and I'm happy to hear that you do too. If I could see them look any better, I would never get anything done! Ruth, #66
