Ahhh, our dear Fu Long who resides at Zoo Vienna is preparing for his trip to China. If all goes according to plans, he will be traveling to the Bifengxia Panda Base on November 18, 2009. That's less then a week away!
Thank goodness we do have contacts there so we will be able to keep up with him to see how he is doing.
He will take his place with two other giant pandas we know, who made the trip to China to participate in the breeding program there. Hua Mei and Mei Sheng, both from the San Diego Zoo.
Will keep you updated if anything changes and perhaps there will be some video of his travel to the base.
Thanks to Helene Van Dijk of flickr for the great photo of Fu and his mom, Yang Yang. We will miss you dear Fu!
In the meantime, our panda reporter in Austria has another video to share with us. Thanks so much, Lupoforme of YouTube.
