好运 - "Good Luck"

Big News from the San Diego Zoo!  Yun Zi, the fifth cub mothered by Bai Yun and fourth to Gao Gao, will be following in the footsteps of his four siblings before him and making the journey back to his homeland next week.   His arrival in China marks the beginning of his genetic contribution to the Panda species as a member of the breeding program.  His siblings have had great success in the breeding program bringing more than 10 cubs into the world.

I am so proud of that little guy (well, not so little anymore).  I was there when he was born and saw him almost every week until I moved to Texas.  He is a gorgeous bear with a lot of personality and will be a great addition to the breeding program.  I will miss him as I miss Mei Sheng, Su Lin and Zhen Zhen and hope that some day I might be able to make my own journey to China to visit.
