Washington AP Ling Ling the female panda at the National Zoo is an extrovert who charges her keepers, while Hsing Hsing the male is shy and withdraws. Visitors watch as the two 18 month old pandas, barely meeting, nap in dark cubicles between glimpses. Collins, the zoologist, notes Ling Ling tears bamboo from pots and creates messes, unlike Hsing Hsing who keeps a clean cage. Thousands have visited since their arrival from Peking, but many miss them due to their indoor hours.
