It's
hard to believe that it has been 365 days since Er Shun and Da Mao, the
charismatic giant panda duo, landed on Canadian soil after an 18 hour
flight from Chengdu China.
Since March 25, 2013 the giant pandas have
won the hearts of not only Canadians, but people around the world.
From
their epic arrival, the true start of the "panda"monium, to making
appearances on Canada's "Amazing Race", being featured in the "Rick
Mercer Report", welcoming over 1.4 million people and of course their
popularity as YouTube sensations with Da Mao's snow tumbling video, reaching over 5 million views worldwide!
This
black and white pair have made the last 12 months at the Toronto
Zoo exciting, educational and certainly entertaining, and we can't wait
to see what the next four years bring!
