Graham's Workshop Update + Mei Xiang :)

Hey Jammers! I made a little Berry button for the right side of my blog, do you see it? (>^-^)>

By now you've probably also noticed that I changed up the background for Fall in the Northern Hemisphere. I know it's not specifically Fall-themed, but the warmer brownish greens are more fitting for the season, right? (Sorry to anyone living in the Southern Hemisphere lol)

I like the other background because it's more fitting for my blog title, (stream! yay. :D) so that will be returning when warm weather picks up again! I like to make my blog match how it looks outside my window lol

And now, we have the new Rare Item Monday...

The Rare Panda Hat!

I completely forgot to check the shops but I made a transparent of the RIM post on the Daily Explorer. I believe it's sold in the Conservation Museum gift shop for 650 Gems! It looks like something one of my AJ friends would wear on their panda if it were nonmember.

Speaking of pandas, this is unrelated to Animal Jam but you should really check out the Smithsonian Zoo's panda webcam. Especially right now because panda mama Mei Xiang is taking care of her little cub who is less than a month old! 

Newborn pandas are about the size of an ice cream sandwich, about 1/900th the size of their mothers! Above is a picture of Mei Xiang holding her baby who is just starting to get their markings, which color not only fur but also their skin.

As I talked a little about in a fairly recent post here, Mei Xiang is a wonderful mother and has some other cubs, Bao Bao and Tai Shan. Tai Shan was born in 2005 and was moved to the Dujiangyan Panda Base in 2014. He was the first surviving panda born in the National Zoo. Here's a photo of him from around last year or this year, I think:

And here's a photo of Bao Bao and her mother Mei Xiang hugging at the National Zoo:

Mei Xiang is such a wonderful mother ♥


Before I get carried away, let's get back to Animal Jam...

Graham's Update has been updated recently to make things a whole lot easier. Previously four people were needed for bamboo and straw collecting, but now only two are required! I know that before my membership runs out in three days I'll need to use this to my advantage to get as many colored bamboo things as I can.

Another new thing is a mysterious looking button under the settings tab:

Find Open World. For the longest time I had no idea what this button did, but today my friend peoples234 theorized that it was to get you into crowded rooms but on different worlds. 

For example, if someone wanted to get into Jamaa Township on Aldan, they would go to Jamaa Township but their world would switch to Tigris. It seems pretty helpful unless you're trying to see a friend and need to stay in the same world. Luckily, you can turn it off!

I have been thinking about changing up my tag icons on the left side so they're clearer. What do you think?

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!
