Adelaide Zoo. The only zoo in the southern hemisphere to have giant pandas, Adelaide Zoo is hoping that this year Wang Wang and Suni will get the urge and breed. Everyone at the zoo is waiting with bated breath as Suni only comes into season for a very short time and last year her erstwhile sweetheart just couldn't get interested.
The pandas live in separate areas as they are naturally solitary animals and it is believed that if they live together they will never become sexually interested in each other. These photos were taken when the pandas first arrived and were kept indoors to acclimatise.Please excuse the reflections from the glass. They now spend a part of their day outside in the good weather, but I have only one outside shot.
