'I cannot wait any longer to see the lovely animals. I've seen them many times on TV. Maybe 1 will even feed them bamboo shoots with my own hands! Isn't that exciting said Lin Heqian, a Senior student from Private Chunghsin School in Taiwan.

Chen Runsheng is the secretary — general of the China Wildlife Protection Association. He told the experts that it is a long—term wish of the mainland to be able to present a panda to

the people of Taiwan. Mainland pandas' resettlement (重新安置) and growth in Taiwan will surely bring the people happiness and fun. Chen added.

The selection of giant pandas t, be sent to Taiwan started at the end of August at the Wolong Nature Reserve.

Several zoos are still fighting to become the new home of the two pandas in Taiwan. And the pandas" home had not yet been picked. Taipei Zoo are talking about building them a home there.

If everything else goes smoothly, the panda will be on the island next March.
