Hi Sandra,

I just found this picture of Ying Ying’s little girl- your Jing Shui. She is so adorable! Her mother looks like she really watches over her. I’ve also attached a picture of Ying Ying. Please share with the Water Tribe.

Thanks for your support of the pandas and Pandas International!

FROM CARRIE PHILLIPS ..our adoption coordinator at PANDAS INTERNATIONAL

Hi Sandra,

Lots of cute pictures! Here is a collection of photos of Long Xin’s twins (Xiao Hua and Jin Xin). As you can see the babies are not identified individually but I’m sure it would be difficult to do this in each photo. I hope this is ok! The photo of the babies coming out of a round opening makes me smile!

FROM OUR ADOPTION COORDINATOR  CARRIE AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL

Last week the Panda Club sent me these pictures of Long Xin’s twins. They are so cute! You’ll probably have to lighten the second picture a bit before posting on your site. I’m not sure how much information you have on these twins so here is what I know. The cubs were born on July 21, 2008. The first cub is a male; he was 129g at birth. The second cub is a female and was 111.4g at birth. I’ll request an update on the babies but I wanted to get these photos to you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Take care! Carrie

BELOW IS OUR LITTLE WOOD TRIBE  GIRL XIAO HUA!!

I cracked up when I saw our sweet “Little Flower” with foliage  stuck to her fur

It instantly brought to mind the adorable skunk  in the movie Bambi named “Flower”

BELOW IS A LETTER FROM  SUZANNE BRADEN AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL WHICH WAS SENT TO ALL THE METAL AND WOOD TRIBE MEMBERS IN DECEMBER WHICH EXPLAINS THE CHANGE IN TWINS

Dear Tribe Members
The Cubs of Guo Guo were adopted for life, which is a large amount; by a Mr. Huang Xiaoming.
Mr. Huang Xiaoming is a Chinese TV actor and signer so I am very pleased he is giving generously to China’s National Treasure.

INFORMATION ABOUT MR. HUANG XIAOMING

However this in no way diminishes the adoptions of the four tribes!
All the cubs of 2008 desperately need to be adopted not just the cubs of Guo Guo
Guo Guo and Long Xin were evacuated from Wolong at the same time and both delivered twins (one male one female) in July
So Long Xin’s twins need you too!!

Below is an update on Fei Fei’s cub who we have proudly nicknamed “Yan Yan” or Eternal Flame!!!:

“Fei Fei’s cub can walk now. When it wakes up, it will move its body and crawl. When its mother is sitting aside, it trys to crawl to the mother and look for nipples to drink milk. It weighs 4600 g 80 days after its birth and 5800 g on its 100-day birth. It develops well and grows healthily.”

CARRIE WRITES TO ME TODAY:
Hi Sandra,

Well, get ready to smile and laugh! Here are pictures of your beautiful girl Jing Shui. I know the English part of her name is Peaceful Water but she doesn’t look very peaceful to me…she looks very full of energy Plus, she looks like a little escape artist! Adorable! Seeing the panda pictures is one of the best parts of my work day and always makes me smile.

NEWS FLASH…added 1/2 hour later!!

Hi Sandra,

Here is an update on Jing Shui. I didn’t correct the English on this update and you can see that the word “it” is used rather than the word “she”. I’m told the Chinese language does not make the same gender distinction that we do. This is always a challenge when trying to figure out whether a panda is a male or female! Of course, we know that Ying Ying’s cub is a female.

You can send the update to your adopters as it is or correct it as you like.

Ying Ying’s baby can walk and play independently, especially like climbing the fence.  it is always trying to climb high and often slide down the fence. however, it never feel the pain, only running to its mother to look for affection, which makes it very happy.

New Cub Adoption Tribe Journals are up!!!

CLICK HERE

YIPPIE!!!  I finished all 4 cub journal pages today.  From here on in I will be able to update the cub’s progress and photos on each of their personal pages.  Please let me know if you find images of any of the cubs or stories and I will add them to the pages.

The wonderful images we have so far don’t come to us easily.  It takes some real detective work on the part of our panda loving friends and China news sources as well as a lot of snooping around on the internet and Flickr to see who has been to the panda breeding centers with their cameras to gather all these pix

Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos and videos so far of our babies. They make the entire adoptions all the  more special to see our panda cubs growing up before our eyes.

On my 2009 trip scheduled back to China I will take all sorts of pix of our cubs to add as well as the stories that inevitably will go with them!!  Future shared adoptions and sponsorships through PROJECT PANDA will have their own pages as well
