Breaking Panda Nooz via Cuteporter Cheryl S.: “Here’s a video just posted at Zoo Atlanta on the Twin Panda Cubs’ first day on exhibit. (Mei Lun & Mei Huan. But which is which? They need little panda football jersey numbers.) What’s cuter than a baby panda? Two baby pandas, of course!”
[Can't fault THAT logic. -Ed]
…Bao Bao! The Washington Post says that means “‘precious or treasure’ and is pronounced ‘bough bough.’” The National Zoo website says she will make her public debut next month!
Dateline, Atlanta Zoo! Mei Lun just wants to sleep. Mei Huan wants to play NOW.
‘Member back about a month ago, Mama Panda Mei Xiang had herself a Bebeh Panda and it came out looking, um, rather small? Rule #1 when dealing with Pandas: They get bigger.
“You have to see this video ~ it must be shared with the Interworldz! Mama Mei’s hugeness next to her little one, and her gentleness, are nearly too much to bear (unintended yet appropriate pun :).” -Cuteporter Debra R.
Here’s the latest YT video from last week, or you can always dial up the Panda Cam.
Twenty bebeh pandas were recently born in China, and now we get to see 14 of the 17 that survived, here at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Thanks to Cuteporter Emily W.
Mama Panda Mei Xiang’s water broke at 3:36pm EST at the Smithsonian National Zoo and we are proud to announce she delivered at 5:32pm! We. Have. A. Cub! Proud Panda Dad Tian Tian was last seen giving out ceegars!
There’s a bit of a line forming at the PANDA CAM. Looks like everyone is sending their best wishes. More info 2 come! Stand by the Panda tweet feed!
Visit the Smithsonian National Zoo Facebook page and share the joy.
OK, now don’t faint or anything, but we got VIDEO of the BIRTH-EO, riiiiight here:
A Super Shout Out and Grand Panda Thank You to superfast Cuteporter Nicole K. who says, “Will you please get a load of that cute little squirmy hairless panda?!? Mei Xiang is an excellent mom—she immediately picked up the cub and has been cradling it ever since.”, and our own Brinke! Photo: Astrid Riecken/The Washington Post
Zookeepers in Taipei introduce month-old bebeh panda Yuan Zai to its mom.
Photos from Taipei Zoo/HuffPost. Submitted by Anna C. and many a Cuteporter.
Cute Overload Peeps, please give a warm welcome to Newby Panda Tuan Tuan!
Get a LOAD OF THIS FUZZ!!! (Sorry- get excitable talkin’ about pandas.)
Tuan Tuan was born at the Taipei Zoo July 6th to nine-year-old Giant Panda Yuan Yuan.
Mail Online says “The panda was born at the Taipei Zoo after three years filled with seven failed pregnancies for the mother. Natural pregnancy among pandas is relatively rare.”
Visitors to the Taipei Zoo won’t get to see Tuan Tuan for another couple of months.
Mom Yuan Yuan was a gift to Taiwan from China.
Tuan Tuan’s weight has already doubled!
Tuan Tuan + Yuan Yuan together mean “reunion.”
Tuan Tuan gets to stay in Taiwan- usually any cubs born abroad from a Chinese-loaned Panda are returned to China.
Wouldn’t it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong.
You know it seems the more we talk about it,
It only makes it worse to live without it.
But let’s talk about it!
