  • Fat Ass Chubby Panda, Soooooooooooooo CUte

    

  • Thank u, Rita. Lovely Funi has a wonderful, trusting relationship w Simone...she is such a playful panda girl who enjoys interaction...she looks like her grandma Lei Lei who is now in the retirement facility f panda old timers @ Fuzhou Panda World. Simone has the best job there is! n she works hard to keep Wang Wang n Funi happy n healthy...making all those wonderful, nutritious wowotou...they love her.

  • First time to see a panda interacting with the trainer. Great effort indeed!

  • awwwwww!!! i want a panda!!!

  • I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

  • I visited with Wang Wang and Funi in July '10 and while I wouldn't trade that visit for anything in the world, I'd love to be there to watch and interact with something like this. They are awesome. Simone, I am so jealous of your job, I know you do A LOT of hard work, but it would be SO rewarding!!! Thanks for sharing.

  • wish i had her job

  • @lola26granola i heard that pandas actually do eat meat. =\ and i saw a vid of a panda eating a sheep O.O

  • @lola26granola thanks for seeing my comment; formaking time to respond; and for the info

  • @gaiagale no, they are still bears and though not carnivores are very capable of injuring someone which, I am sure, is why she is interacting with the panda through the bars and not in her exhibit. This play probably does help them be able to care for her since she would associate being near her keeper with fun, which would make it easier for them to do anything medical they needed if the situation arose.

  • the panda and the zoo keeper are both having fun...the panda is so cuddly

  • id like to spray that trainer with a hose, mhmm.... haha

  • I don't know who is having the most fun ? Panda or keeper ?..

    'How to keep fit -- be a keeper in the Adelaide Zoo.!!

  • Love it!!!

  • this is the first time that I've seen a trainer and panda interact in this fashion ...quite remarkable indeed ...I noticed that the facility has heavy duty cage doors and screens ...i'm curious to know if Pandas are always cute and cuddly

  • I keep watching this video over & over, & my face hurts from smiling so wide!

  • Funi is so beautiful. She reminds me so much of the National Zoo's Mei Xiang who is also gorgeous.

  • This is so cute!!!

  • Sensational! What a fantastic life these pandas will have! Well done!
