A firm favourite next – it’s Tai Shan 泰山! I didn’t actually know he was now living here, so this was a nice surprise, in fact I knew it was him as soon as I saw him, I didn’t need to see his name sign^ This is now the 3rd time I’ve seen Tai Shan after seeing him at the Dujiangyan Base in both 2016 and 2017, so it’s been a while. He’s still such a handsome boy and has such a distinctive and recognisable look to him. He’s now 19 years old, having been born in 2005, the first cub of Smithsonian National Zoo pair Mei Xiang and Tian Tian so it’s lovely to be able to still follow him through his life. His yard was very sunny in the Kindergarten House 2 area, and he was enjoying his breakfast and lunch when I was there with plenty of bamboo. He even took some of his bamboo up onto his rocky platform to enjoy it there.
