<p>Mei Xiang, the female giant panda at the Smithsonian&#8217;s National Zoo in Washington, eats breakfast Monday, Dec. 19, 2011. The zoo announced a $4.5 million gift Monday to fund its giant panda reproduction program for five more years. Donator and philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, who is also co-founder and managing director of the Carlyle Group, said in a news conference, &#8220;There are probably 10 million species on the face of the earth, and I doubt that any one of those species is more popular and more beloved than the giant panda.&#8221; &#8220;Hopefully this will result in more pandas being born here,&#8221; he said.
