Tian Tian and Mei Xiang: Honey covered crates
These photos were taken on 21st April 2007 and at this time Tian Tian and Mei Xiang were sharing the same enclosures. The keepers/volunteers placed 2 crates covered with honey in enclosure #3 (the one opposite the elephant house and furthest from Tai Shan's mansion). As soon as the adults were allowed to enter, Mei Xiang appeared to be very observant, methodical and cautious and found one of the crates within a min of entering (photo above, one smart panda!) while I am sorry to say (LOL) Tian Tian appear to be clueless (AWWW) and had to follow Mei to find the treats. As you can see below he managed to bully his way into getting the crate from her, she simply walked off without causing a fuss. As she wondered off she must of caught sight of the second crate (even I didnt see the second one there!), which was lodged against the side of the wooden panda sofa...;o)
