Many years ago, a panda came to stay. Because he was the first panda to arrive, he was named "Panda Bear" or "P" for short (sometimes "P.B."). Gradually he invited many other pandas to come and stay with him. Some pandas came from other countries. Some pandas are big, some are small. |

Dawn had the idea of photographing a panda in different locations for use in school. To the right is Punchy2 with Knuckles the Pig from Fredericton in New Brunswick, photographed on a teacher exchange visit. |

While Punchy 2 was in Canada,
Punchy 1 stowed away with David and Martin on a trip to Rosas in Spain.
The
photos went on the web late 1999, after which the pandas started receiving
encouraging e-mails (punchy@pandasontour.com).
The result is that the
pandas have travelled further, been photographed more publicly and, in the
Canadian Rockies in August 2001, were mobbed by a group of Japanese
schoolgirls. While travelling Veitnam in 2003, they met other animals on
tour.
This web site shows some of our bears' exploits.
