Caught in the act. Ocean Park Pandas get it on

Happy Day! Le Le loves on Ying Ying
Le = 樂 = Happy. (Pron: like the “le” in “learn”). *
Double Happiness yesterday at our Ocean Park here in Hong Kong. And the happy moment caught on camera for the SCMP. Mr Google tells me panda gestation period is 95 to 160 days. Which is a weirdly wide range. No wonder they’re endangered. They choose to eat only one type of bamboo from the mountains of Sichuan, their breeding is lackadaisical and gestation time fluid. 
Still, here’s hoping for a Beh Beh July to September. 
The story is free at SCMP here.

*ADDED: is the first half of 樂觀, Le Guan = optimistic. Good time to be superstitious and take the coupling as reason for optimism!
