Description
While I have mixed feelings about zoos, seeing a panda is always a special experience! This is Lun Lun, mother of twin panda cubs Mei Lun and Mei Huan, the first twins born in the US since 1987 (at Zoo Atlanta). Lun Lun's birth name given to her by keepers in Chengdu was Hua Hua. Lun Lun was renamed by a Taiwanese rock star, Su Huilun, who "adopted" her at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Lun Lun is an avid climber and enjoys sleeping on climbing structures Lun Lun was separated from her mother at 4 � months of age. Lun Lun is considered to be a strikingly beautiful panda because her cheeks are very round and fluffy. The Chinese consider round faces to be very beautiful.
