Vienna: On the previous day - the day after ...

Friday 20 November 2009

Updated! Shot early this week is still all about Fu Long's departure, media representatives and visitors laid siege to the Panda plant:

Alle wollen Fu Long noch ein mal sehen ..., 17. November 2009

Everybody wants to see another Fu Long time ..., 17 November 2009

The pandas were in the house, the men stood on the day before departure to the front door, you could not even go inside. Since Wednesday - the Pandabub is time left in the morning - is (finally eingekeilt) quiet again, everything runs its usual channels.

Even with the other animals, the daily routine is back. Small Urson family has already settled in the new home, the rabbit from the rabbit back in no-man's land, polar bears may be apples to spoil the banded mongoose with worms (see video), the maned seal teenagers work diligently with the Medical Training, Mota has not added (always) not correct for the group to Sundari and is still a hussy that nothing and no one has respect. :-)
