A Car-loving Panda
We have all noticed how fond of a motor-car is the domestic dog ; but the dog is by no means unique in this taste. Among other animals the Panda, which has been enjoying a bigger circulation than any other animal at the Zoo, is taken daily by car to and from his public quarters, and has discovered a great liking for this means of transport. He makes his own way into the car with obvious pleasure and anticipation of the joy of the ride. How tired he must be of photography. His woe-begone, half-human countenance is irresistible to the owners of cameras, who spend hours of most days in attempt- ing to get a really full-face portrait. When I last saw him he was trying vainly but with persistent ingenuity to open the sliding door of his retreat while photographers, some kneeling, some lying, some standing, attempted to catch his eye.
