This is Mei Lan. Mei is nearly 2 1/2 and was born at Zoo Atlanta. Isn't she beautiful?!

Zoo Atlanta works with the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, along with several other U.S. zoos (the National Zoo, San Diego Zoo, and the Memphis Zoo) in the hopes of restoring some of the giant panda population. Currently, it's estimated there are approximately 1,600 giant pandas in the wild.

Wouldn't it be great if we could create a land where these endangered beasts could be allowed to live free.

I love her expression! She's really enjoying her bamboo breakfast, but she looks like she's smiling a big panda smile for you to take her picture! Great take on the theme! I love the photo.
