As noted earlier this week, Bao Bao is leaving the National Zoo for China. Due to an international agreement, all pandas born in America must go to China before their fourth birthday, and so last Tuesday the Smithsonian’s beloved panda boarded a crate, sat quietly with frozen treat, and began the long journey to a homeland she has never known.
“I got to see Bao Bao when she was a wee cub when she first went outside,” writes sender-inner Laura H. “I met my boss at the zoo and we joined the throngs to see her, on a lovely cold, snowy day. Time sure flies!”
So happy I could forklift a panda! (Except that I’m sad we have to say goodbye to that little darling.)
Easy as rolling off a log!
Off to make panda ears for my car–be back soon.
Who knew you could FedEx a panda?
I’d have thought Panda Express would be a better option.

Ha!
BBWWWAAAHHH!!!
Yes, Allein – new one on me! And I’m so glad that I don’t have to be forklifted when I travel.
She won’t know her humans. Unfamiliar place. Strange customs, smells, language. Not fair!!!!! She’s American!!! 🙁
