Meet Adelaide Zoo's awesome Giant Pandas Wang Wang and Funi

With Adelaide Zoo home to over 1,800 animals and almost 300 species of exotic and native mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and fish exhibited in magnificent botanic surroundings now expanded to 8 hectares, I could not help myself but spend an afternoon after ATE 2010 in Adelaide at the zoo.

But I actually had an even better reason, well actually two reasons to visit Adelaide Zoo and they were Adelaide Zoo's two awesome Giant Pandas, Wang Wang and Funi.

Adelaide Zoo has been entrusted with caring for Wang Wang and Funi, with in 2008, Zoos SA signing a cooperative agreement with China to help secure the long term survival of Giant Pandas.

Wang Wang and Fun were chosen because they are healthy, friendly and easy to handle and also because they also considered a fantastic genetic pairing for the global Giant Panda breeding program., with any cubs Wang Wang and Funi have, valuable additions to the Giant Panda population.

Wang Wang and Funi are the only Giant Pandas in the Southern Hemisphere and the first to live permanently in Australia, so come with me on tour of Adelaide Zoo to visit Wang Wang and Funi, and also some other Adelaide Zoo animals, by simply clicking on the video below: -
