And he's being shipped back to China as a result.
Well, sort of. Tai Shan has been on loan to the National Zoo from China these past ten years with a return date of sometime in early 2010, the DCist reports.
What was that noise? Ah yes, that was the DC community releasing a collective sigh. What will we do without our beloved panda? For one thing, we're going to have to change the design of our Metro cards.
Such sad times.
The National Zoo needs a new animal pal to cheer us all up. My suggestion: a baby harp seal. We need a cute baby harp seal like nobody's business.
What say you, Washington?

He's not being shipped "back" to China, he was born at the Zoo. He's never been to China.
And even when he's gone -- we've still got the other two.
I think I saw them put him into a truck that said "Repo-Depot." Our debt to China has taken it's toll...
