My New bamboo!

My 6 month old kitten, Bear, stareing in shock at the height of my newest bamboo plant!

My bamboo Plant!

How I made this arrangement:

At a store, I can get tall stalks for $1.99 each,  I got 3 stalks, put them in the middle tied them with green "twisty ties" and put smaller bamboo stalks around it.  And put it in a glass container I got, filled with "river rocks" then fill the glass pot with water to the rim of the pot (I keep my bamboo very well watered)

Panda Conservation Efforts

I recently watched a program on PBS, called 'Panda Nursery'. It mentioned the panda population, and breeding problems, care of pandas.  Here is a short clip from 'Panda Nursery' I thought I was great. 



Also, I have seen another panda program called 'Panda Tales'

'Panda Nursery'

Theres currently an estimated one thousand giant pandas left in China, and unless crucial steps are taken, the iconic bears could soon be wiped out forever. At Chinas Wolong Nature Reserve in the mountains in Sichuan Province, forty giant pandas and a dedicated team of staff play a crucial role in ensuring the survival of the species.

As part of the Reserves panda breeding program, a revolutionary new method of rearing twin cubs called swap-raising has been developed. Each cub is raised by both its natural mother and one of the Reserves veterinarians, Wei Rongping, to increase the chances of both cubs surviving.

Panda Nursery witnesses this special partnership between Rongping and an eleven-year-old female panda called Ershihao, who, three months after being artificially inseminated, gives birth to two tiny furless cubs. The program follows the first six months of the lives of the twin cubs as they are swapped between Ershihao and their surrogate mum, Rongping.

Panda Nursery follows the highs and lows of Lin Hes and Lin Hais eventful first six months and explores the challenges facing giant pandas in the wild. In three years it could be these two cuddly cubs turn to produce young of their own as Wolong Nature Reserves breeding program attempts to haul the giant bears back from the brink of extinction.
