Wolong's Plentiful Pandas
Atlantic Magazine writer James Fallows and his wife travelled to the panda reserve at Wolong Nature Reserve in China's Sichuan province. In his article, Among The Pandas, he makes some great points about how the cuteness of pandas affects our perception of them, what it's like to spend time up close and personal with captive pandas, and how Wolong differs from many other panda reserves by showing people the entire panda lifecycle and plentiful pandas instead of just a glimpse in the day of your average lonely panda you might see leased to a foreign zoo. Check out the accompanying panda slideshow, especially the "herd" of yearling pandas, it's narrated by the author.

Awww, they really are cute.
I think we need to go there. You know, just to make sure they're cute in person and not just in the pictures. ;)
