Panda Handstand?

Have you ever seen a giant panda do a handstand? Don’t believe they can do it? Have a look.


You believe now?

That’s Hua Mei, back in late February 2004, shortly after arriving back in China. I posted the picture on my v2 chatter, and this is what I wrote:

“I’m not sure if she’s ecstatic at having returned home, or from breathing the fresh air in Wolong, or if she’s just plain tired from jetlag and change in time zone. But one thing I know for sure – that’s a giant panda hand stand.”

Yup, that is some handstand. Actually, tell you a secret – her other paw was holding onto the bar of the cage. I know, I saw it on the video available online at the time.
