There was no money involved in the deal. The deal was more for China’s benefit. The zoo workers said that the negotiations went very smooth and easy. But China still owns Tai Shan and they have custody of his parents. The deal is Tai Shan stays till 2009 but he may stay longer if he is not needed for breeding.

What did you find interesting about this topic?

I think that animal extinction is absolutely terrible. I think that this article says just that. He may be staying another 2 years but in 2009 Tai Shan will be sexually matured and ready for mating.

What did you like about the initial blog posting?

I liked that it has a lot to do with the world today. It discusses a lot about animal extinction and described what we can do to change it. I think that everyone knows what this young animal is doing for the American public. Tai Shan is educating very many people every day and he will be able to educate a lot more people in the next to years and I think he is awesome.
