What's black and white and cute all over. PANDAS! Today we went to the panda facility. First we changed into our 'monkey suits', aka our brown sanitary suits so as not to get dirty because we would be cleaning. We cleaned the habitats the and wrapped the bamboo. In my group, the girls had the hard job of scooping the poop, whereas the guys were picking up the old bamboo and wrapping them into bushels. Once the entire outer area was clean, we brought in new bamboo. Then we let the pandas into that area where they immediately started eating again. While they were relaxing and eating outdoors we cleaned there inside area. Once again we scooped the poop and pressure washed the ground. Last but not least of the morning we were allowed to feed them (carrots and bamboo)! The pandas were greedy animals. Finally it was time for lunch.
After lunch today, we returned to the panda cages for a second round of panda poop scooping (as we all know, the pandas eat a TON of bamboo, hence a TON of poop). We also were able to feed the pandas more food including panda bread, which apparently is also edible - our good friends Jack and Joel were brave enough to try it. For those of us who purchased tickets to take a picture with the pandas. Whether or not it was worth it to take pictures with the pandas, you cannot deny how adorable they all are.
I am going to end this blog of our amazing day with the pandas with a nice joke courtesy of Ava.
A panda walks into a bar. What does it do?
Eats, shoots, and leaves!!! :)
