Giant panda Tai Shan eats bamboo in his enclosure on Feb. 1, 2010, at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington. The National Zoo has announced that Tai Shan will be sent to China on Feb. 4. Tai Shan, once dubbed "butterstick" for his tiny size, was born in D.C. in 2005 to Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, themselves gifts from China. A stipulation of the gift was that all cubs must be sent to China. (Getty Images)
