The funds raised from the paintings will be used to produce a picture book about the Austrian zoo's pandas.
This is no ordinary panda you see in zoos, this one can paint! Yang Yang, a female panda that gave birth to twins two years ago has learned how to use a brush on a painting board. And now the panda has started showcasing its skills surprising everyone. Her amateur art is a combination of irregular stripes and everything that is just a clear mess! But it's a panda and people couldn't be more impressed. In fact the Tiergarten Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria put the panda's unique art on sale and guess what? People are willingly shelling a bomb for it!
Hundreds of paintings by the panda was sold online for 490 euros (almost Rs 40,000) each. The funds raised will be used to produce a picture book about the Austrian zoo's pandas. Yang Yang is 18 years also and has given birth to five pandas over the years. Maybe these paintings will remind you of your toddler's initial painting classes. As the pictures of the panda have gone viral, people are commenting on how the animal chose to paint with black colour on white background.

Talking about the project for which they have organised the crowdfunding, GiantPandaGlobal.com quoted Daniel Zupanc, the photographer at the zoo as saying, "We want to present the most beautiful photos of the pandas at Schönbrunn in an illustrated book that’s to be published in German and English. I want to share her whole story: from the first negotiations with China about sending Yang Yang and Long Hui to Vienna in 2003 right up to the raising of the twins Fu Feng and Fu Ban now."
