Yikes! A newish follower of PT, Robert Dullien, has just notified us that today is National Panda Day. You can celebrate it by following the link above to the World Wildlife Federation’s National Panda Day website. The WWF invites you as follows:

ON THIS DAY WE CELEBRATE PANDAS!

To coincide with National Panda Day, we’d like to invite you to get to know more about this amazing species. We've got some simple and fun ways to show your support; from learning more about pandas, to baking a panda cake!

Activities include an article on how the panda was possibly saved from extinction, to a quiz, top 10 facts about pandas, a drawing by Andy Robert Davies to be colored by a child, young or old, and more.

Our thanks to Mr. Dullien for being so alert!
