my true love gave to me:MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! For the next 12 days, I will be going through the 12 Day of Christmas, a tradition celebrated in Europe since the middle ages.

Wallis is a very special addition to the Park’s rhino family. She is as part of the Park's White Rhino breeding program planned to be a surrogate for the critically endangered Northern White Rhino whose only remaining females are all too old to breed.
A few days ago, pandas at the Toronto Zoo took full advantage of the cold weather having a BLAST playing in the snow! Giant pandas are from the remote, mountainous regions of central China, in the Min Mountains and Qinling Mountains of the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, where it often snows in the winter months. The pandas in Canada feel right at home in the cold. While the San Diego Pandas don't get any naturally cold weather, they do get a special delivery of snow a couple times a year and they know just what to do when it arrives!
