ON ASSIGNMENT | SEP. 4, 2012: A curious and playful Kai Kai hides behind a bush of bamboo at the Ya'an Bifeng gorge in China's Sichuan province. The 5-year-old male is one of the two giant pandas bound for Singapore on Thursday, and has been quarantined for a month in an enclosure away from the other pandas and out-of-bounds to visitors. Both pandas will stay in Singapore for ten years, living in a specially-designed, $8.6 million enclosure in the upcoming River Safari. Photo: Kua Chee Siong/The Straits Times.
