Le Le the male giant panda at the Memphis Zoo turned 10 years old today Friday, July 18, 2008.
Le Le's photo was taken by local Memphis resident kuku4pandas. You can see more photos of Le Le and his partner Ya Ya at their flickr site.
The background is one I pulled off the internet, so no this is not what it looks like at the Memphis zoo, in case you were wondering. They do have a beautiful chinese themed exhibit there.
Le Le is quite the outdoorsman though, and as Kuku shows us here finds his pool a great place to chill out during the dog days of summer in Memphis.
