Dad’s Pandas – Adelaide Zoo – Animal Portraits
Posted on January 5, 2010
As promised more Giant Panda photos!
We call them Dad’s Pandas, because for the last 2.5 years Janet’s Dad one of Adelaide Zoo’s curators has been working hard (amongst many other awesome people of course!) to get Wang Wang & Funi to the Adelaide Zoo. Such a huge undertaking, from design of enclosures, trips to China, dressing up as a Panda for promos, dancing in the Christmas Parade this year… even down to making sure the Pandas like the Aussie Bamboo! But great news is they’re settling in well.. We got to visit them on Boxing Day when we were home for Christmas, still behind quarantine glass but still gorgeous and show pony’s nonetheless.. Wang Wang was quite happy to sit in front of everyone and enjoy his breakfast. Yes you can can get this close too, we’d recommend getting there early. Throughout January you can even book a champagne breakfast with Wang Wang & Funi

(and i mean photos as well as the subject
love the shots, we were waiting for the big crowds to die down before taking the kids to see the panda’s before school goes back although I’m sure they will be a popular attraction and a very busy area for a very long time
So, so cute!!!
Soooo gorgeous! Looks like you were up SO CLOSE too! I saw a huge billboard for these pandas on the highway the other day and was telling Matt how I thought your Dad had something to do with them
So COOL.
Oh my – they are so cute! Great captures!
so gorgeous!! I love pandas. And how amazing to have your Dad as a curator at the zoo. I would be in heaven.
