Confession. I was the volunteer on duty when she touched the hot wire and spent 24 hours up a tree. For old time panda fans her brother Tai Shan regularly refused to come down from trees earning the nickname Slayer of Keeper Overtime.
I feel like I am in the presence of a celebrity! Occupy Hemlock was an epic tale! I didn't join the pandas-here until right as Tai Shan was leaving DC for China. I saw him once in the months right before he left.
PINKYYYYYYYY.... yaas!!! she is a superstar. I started following her on panda cam when the government shutdown occurred, because the outrage of her fans came out in the press. I immediately became addicted. UN-RE-SIS-DA-BEL
I am about to retire from volunteering again. Did in 2019 and then Xiao happened and we were rallied to work from home because of COVID. If I write my own Substack some day I will title it after the best note I received while doing a 1 am watch inside the Elephant House. “If the Pygmy hippopotamus gets out leave the building “
