Happy 12th Birthday to the one and only Mr. Wu!
Xiao LiWu the little gift that keeps on giving, Mr. Wu to his nannies and his friends has completed 12 trips around the sun today! Mr. Wu was the first panda I watched from the time he was a tiny cubby. While I was already a committed panda fan by then, he was the first real panda that I incorporated in to the stories here at The Panda Chronicles.
In honor of his birthday on Monday, July 29th, today’s presentation will be a little panda palooza of early Wu-toons! Pandarella will resume on Thursday!
Here we go!
I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with Mr. Wu! Of course, around this time Pinky and the Meihems had appeared on the scene, and Pinky’s quest for world domination had begun.
By the way, it is also the birthdays of the only surviving triplets, who served as Pinky’s minions during her first run for the White House in 2016.
Till next time!

I loved going down memory lane with our Birthday Boy, Mr. Wu! Can’t wait to celebrate our new SDZ pandas. We have tickets for early morning with the pandas Sept. 18. It’s not quite my b’day, but that date was sold out. My 1st panda cub to visit and follow on panda cam was Hua Mei. What a cutie-beauty she was!
I will never stop being jealous of all of you who live close enough to DC, Pan Diego, and Pandalanta to get to visit all our cubbies often. Tell Chuie and Zinger I say hi, and that I’ll be there soon(ish) Mr. Wu will always be the panda of my heart. Have a great time and first visit of many!
I first fell in love with pandas while watching baby Mr. Wu in the den. I was so happy when they gave him the name I voted for. I have Mr. Wu’s birthday on my google calendar!
Mr Wu’s 18th exam video is my absolute favorite. Him and that ball!
I could watch that exam video every day for the rest of my life.
Wu was growing up when I discovered pandas so Bikkie remains my first “baby”. But I love how differently you are able to capture Bai and Mei while making them both loving mommies.
To love one panda is to love all pandas!
(Pinky: but everyone loves me da best, right?)
