Panda sanctuary II

A massive crowd assembled where the pandas were. A keeper was feeding the pandas with a fishing pole which is why they (pandas and people) gathered and waited. It was hard to get close enough to get some good photos but I think I got a couple. As soon as the feeding stopped, the pandas slipped back into the forest.. The sound they made was kind of like a squeal but a baritone one. There are only about 1,000 pandas in the wild and about 100 in captivity so this is a pretty rare sight. They have several challenges. Their habitat is being lost to development and global warming; they only have one cub at a time and the cub is helpless for months; they are very difficult when it comes to mating; they are mostly solitary creatures in the wild which doesn't encourage reproduction.
