Yes finally after several weeks of being nagged by dear Courtney to upload them, here are some of the videos we took of well Panda's fighting! We were told that we were extremely lucky to see this as they normally only rouse for food, eat, then go back to sleep.
Well these three 3-4 year old Panda's were brawling before we got to them, for at least 20 minutes or so while we watched then continued as we left...all in their thick warm Panda suits in what was a really really hot and muggy day. I don't know what they put in their bamboo this day but sheesh they were feisty. They kind of reminded me of dogs fighting the way they were biting each others paws and other miscellaneous bits.
It seemed they had a clear game plan as far as what was going on. They were trying as hard as they could, with their clumsy unco Panda combat styles to push each other down the slope into the ditch that separated them from us. Several times they did a full slide down the slope landing with an unceremonious thud as someones head clocked the ground.
And down he goes!
Despite the disgusting humidity that day, and mosquitoes the size of something you would find in Jurassic Park, I was actually pretty impressed with the overall enclosures they kept the Panda's in. They were jungle thick and on the most part very large. Despite the air being thick with pollution(that looked like lovely mist if you forgot which country you were in for a few moments) all in all it was quite an impressive location. On top of this, to actually get to the Panda's, you had to walk through the grounds for what seemed like a good 10-15 minutes. They were way way way back from the noise of any cars and so on, which is a good thing. Now if they could just do something about that disgraceful air quality...
