Weightlifting Panda
After getting so addicted to Image of the Day as to check it many times a day for updates, I began to widen my search for cool pictures, and came across this cool panda on Yahoo News today.
"Yingying, a 17-year-old panda, born in a zoo in the southwestern province of Sichuan, lifts weights during a performance the Chinese Acrobats Arts Festival in Beijing late October 20, 2001. Yingying is said to be the only member of the endangered species in the world able to dunk a basketball, go down a slide and drive a car." Certainly feels strange being the one to start a topic on Image of the Day... |

Pandas aren't monkeys, are they? Monkeys have tails.

But in answer to your to your question the number of species of primates that are listed as endangered or worse, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources's Red List, that have monkey in their common name is 42. |

Found on a Fark thread, this must be that same panda. That's good work by that panda, showing some range.

I can't help but wonder how you'd go about teaching a panda to drive (and could you convince him to learn the road rules to get a drivers license?). As amusing as it looks, that must be a horrible life for Yingying. He really doesn't look too happy in this tiny cage:

No way.. you underestimate him. Of course he's happy! Just look at him -- doesn't he look happy? He loves being in cages.

In scouting for other pictures I found this one of the panda's other talent. Now to figure out why the human is lifting his leg. |
