pesu - Aug, 03 2009 05:08pm Great capture of an adorable bear - I love the light in this photo. krisek - Aug, 03 2009 05:08pm Petra, thank you! I think the panda was tired and hot. It was a really hot day. Actually, the pandas are more closely related to the raccoons rather than bears. And although the red panda looks more like a raccoon, it is more closely related to the bear than the giant panda... I think Mother Nature played a little trick on us, hehe. jacko1 - Aug, 03 2009 07:08pm I like the way that he/she seems to be aware of you , how far away were you?.
