Inspired by the San Diego Zoo’s “Guess that animal” feed on twitter and our little mistaken identity of a panda on our last panda blog post, we decided all you panda fans out there needed a challenge.

The challenge: Be the first commenter to correctly identify the panda in the picture below by June 30th and we’ll send you the prize.

The prize: We’ll send you a cool car window decal of our logo and a nice print-out of the picture for your wall/bragging rights!
