Before you read further: Conjure up David Bowie/Queen’s song “Under Pressure”.
Got it? Now sing “Panda Pressure”…
Ok – now you can continue
Recently arrived at Edinburgh Zoo are two pandas, Sunshine & Sweet, on a 10-year loan from China. The hype surrounding these two pandas has already resulted in 10s of 1000s of tickets being booked in advance for months and months to come, which is great news because the cost of hosting these two lovelies has already run well into the millions (Sterling).
There are great hopes and high expectations that the Scottish climate will make this pair get all cuddly and snuggly with one another and that baby pandas might grace us with their presence (a great business coup, no doubt).
So, no pressure then















How cute and interesting. So funny.
Thanks for commenting, Cocomino – yes, it is quite an amusing little ditty and video
We have had pandas at a couple of zoos in Australia and they have been a huge success. I’m sure yours will be too. How could they not when they are so cute?
Hi Debra – I have no real doubt as to their success. As you rightly ask – how could they not be a huge success?? I just wasn’t aware that something like this would cost quite as much as it does!
Ah, how sweet. Will the Edinburgh pandas be able to sing too?
A ten-year LOAN? What happens to them after that?
Hi Lisa, I’m not even sure they growl
Singing pandas would be quite cute!
Yes – a 10 year loan (@ £600,000 pa) Presumably they get to go “home”?? They certainly would have earned a first class ticket by then
Love the video!
