The National Zoo is getting two new pandas. I remember reading about the deaths of the previous pandas, but it hadn’t dawned on me that this meant the zoo no longer had any pandas. I have snapshots (badly framed photos from my less artistically aware childhood) of the pandas munching on bamboo. According to The Washington Post, the pandas will arrive in Anchorage on a donated FedEx plane and head to Dulles Airport on December 6th. I hope the zoo arranges a web panda-cam like San Diego.
