Hope (Chinese name: Xi Wang) is a wild giant panda born in the early 1990s that was the subject of various National Geographic magazine articles and at least one National Geographic TV special, as well as one write-up in The Reader’s Digest.
I first saw the NG TV special in 2000 around the time I started watching Hua Mei on the San Diego Zoo’s pandacam. The show was repeated last year, and I asked my brother to tape it for me (along with other panda specials shown around the same time). Thanks to conversion techniques, I was able to make a computer-watchable version, from which I captured various screenshots.
We’re all familiar with pictures of giant pandas in zoos. Now, here are some pictures of a giant panda in her natural habitat – from about a month to a year old.
And an added bonus, a screenshot of Hope’s mother, Qiao-Qiao:
