Butterstick!

[holytoastr]

So, a while back a baby panda was born at the national zoo. There was a naming contest, with lots of fancy chinese names. I wanted them to name the panda Butterstick. However, that wasn't one of the choices. I picked Tai Shan instead. I liked how it sounded kinda like Taiwan (The panda is going to be shipped back to China when it gets older.) and also that seemed like a lucky name. I must have been right about the lucky part because that's the name that won.

I have spent the day trying to figure out when they will open the panda to the public. It's by ticket only and I want to reserve mine. Seems right now reservations are only open to Friends of the Zoo.

Scroll down for the panda cam!

Or if he's nowhere to be seen on the cam, here's a video of Butterstick getting a check-up and playing.
