Saying Goodbye to Yun Zi

What a joy it's been to watch Yun Zi, from his birth on August 8, 2009, to the grown up Panda he is today. Here are some shots I took when I said my goodbyes during his last day on exhibit at the San Diego Zoo. I've also included some of the photos I took of him when he was just a little cub. He's now preparing to head to China, where he will have the chance to pass on his genes and be a part of conserving his species. We'll miss you Yun Zi! Enjoy your new home and the adventures ahead!
