China: Olympic Pandas now in Beijing

Categories: East Asia, China, Disaster, Environment, Photography, Olympics

Global Voices Olympics [1]Sina.com blogger EastIsRed66, who appears to be an employee of the Wolong Nature Reserve [2] in Wenchuan, Sichuan, the hardest-hit area in last month's earthquake, has recently started a blog and has been posting photos of the eight Olympic Pandas who once lived there.

These eight pandas are Beijing residents now, she writes [3], after having been flown there to their new home at the Beijing Zoo following the earthquake.

In a separate post [4] from late last month, the blogger has put up pictures of the pandas taken during the earthquake, where they can be seen huddling together in fear. Two others, she notes, ran off during the earthquake.
