Chongqing Zoo

Our visit to the Chongqing Zoo was limited to the red and white pandas, but that was the ultimate goal anyway. I ditched my umbrella in spite of the steady rain so I could focus on taking pictures. The raccoon-like red pandas (also called red bearcats) are bamboo eaters just like their “distant cousins”. Of course, we were most excited to see the giant pandas. These photos show them eating, playing and just hanging out.
