anything and everything adorable
Red Panda Encounter
My husband and I got to meet Tenzing, a 3 year old male red panda at the San Francisco Zoo. He's so adorable! The zoo has a meet-and-greet kind of program via IfOnly. As part of the encounter, we got to feed him bamboo leaves and apple pieces. Tenzing was partially hand-reared so he is comfortable around humans, which is why he's part of this particular program.
What I find most interesting is that whenever I see pictures of red pandas, they seem sort of larger than they really are. Tenzing is actually pretty small, yet even my pictures make him look larger than life. I have to keep remembering, for example, that his eyes are super tiny, like maybe the size of peas and that overall he's probably the size of an average housecat.




Soooo cute! The red panda is my favorite animal, hands down. ♥
