In spite of their striking appearance, giant pandas are seldom seen in the wild.
 They do not like company, even from other pandas (except at mating time).
 I have been to panda country in China and did not expect to see one in the wild.
 We did see a few captive pandas at the breeding center at Woolong.

I put some faint shadows on the flank of this panda which could be shadows
from cage bars but I would prefer to think of them as shadows from tall
bamboo plants.  Bamboo is their habitat and virtually their only food.”
