Panda Bears at the Beijing Zoo

Our second stop for the day was the Beijing Zoo to see the Panda Bears.  Panda bears are primarily from the Sichuan province where the earthquake occurred three weeks ago.  While the panda bears at the breeding center near the epicenter all survived  the quake, their habitat and house suffered some damage.  A few of the pandas were transferred to the Beijing Zoo to join those pandas that were already here.

Of course, any zoo would not be complete without the safety and warning signs.  Here are the ones that were posted around the panda bears.
